Nisreen's World

   Japanese follows English/日本語は英語の後に記載  Hi all! This is Nisreen.  The other day, I attended a chamber music concert by groups of local students in a church.  皆さん、こんにちは！ニスリーンです。先日、地元の学生グループによる教会での室内楽コンサートに出かける機会に恵まれました。 All the students did a fantastic job. However, I was particularly inspired by the performance of String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D 810/ Death and the Maiden, by Franz Schubert. I felt like I could really hear the conversation between Death and the  maiden, a representation of life, youth and joy.   This sketch is inspired by the music! 演奏はどれも素晴らしかったですが、私は特にフランツ・シューベルトの弦楽四重奏曲第14番ニ短調D810／死と乙女の演奏に感銘を受けました。生、若さ、喜びを表現した乙女と、死との間の対話が本当に聞こえてくるような気がしました。 このスケッチは、音楽に想を得て描いたものです。 -----------Follow me------------ Instagram Podcast FB Website

      Japanese follows English/日本語は英語の後に記載 Hello, this is Nisreen! I uploaded the third episode of my podcast. This time, I  talked  a theme that’s very close to my heart: artists’ mental health and social media. The definition of ‘artist’ here is anyone who expresses themselves through any art forms, no matter whether financial profit is involved. I’m not a believer that you’re only an artist only if you make money of your art. I analysed the reasons why social media could be toxic for artists' mental health and suggested three tips for softening the emotional toll.

  Japanese follows English/日本語は英語の後に記載  Hi all! This is Nisreen. I know I've complained about how the shower heads in our house in the US are fixed to the ceiling before-- it makes it really hard to rinse the bathtub. However, recently, I realised my real enemy in cleaning is the water itself, rather than the equipment to use the water. Water in the US is hard water. It creates stubborn stains on the bathtub, teacups, and especially toilet bowl, no matter how hard you clean these with standard cleaning products.  This has been annoying me quite a lot. As the water in Japan is soft, I've never had this issue in Tokyo. Humidity and fungus were much of an issue there--but not hard water. After days of research and experiments, I think I've found the best tip for dealing with it, though. Use a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda! For teacups, I steeped them in a bowl of that mixture. For the toilet bowl, I applied pieces of toilet paper to the stained spots, and soaked the
