Is This Really Pen Spinning?

  This is a topic I briefly touched on at  XOAY 2025 During World Tour 25, I noticed several comments saying things like: “Spinning two pens with constant pauses like that isn’t pen spinning,” or  “Using a string in an Isuk solo shouldn’t count either.” And honestly - I think they’re right. This isn’t pen spinning. Because let’s be real: none of these actually look like pens anymore. Think about it - what kind of pen is loaded with real bullets? Or wrapped entirely in tape until it resembles a primitive weapon? Some of them can’t even write anymore. Some aren’t even made from pens at all. If a pen no longer serves its original purpose - if it can’t write - then what makes it a pen in the first place? That’s why I believe this culture deserves a different name. A name of its own. Because  pen spinning  is no longer an accurate label. When people hear “pen spinning,” they immediately associate it with a school desk, a classroom habit, something trivial - something...

A Few Unpolished Thoughts on the Growth of the Vietnamese Pen Spinning Community

First of all, I’d like to say that this is not a carefully polished piece of writing. These are simply thoughts that needed to come out - so that I can allow myself to look back at what I’ve done, and why I’m still here. On the factors that I believe have helped the Vietnamese pen spinning community grow As I grow older, I find myself having more and more things to worry about. And because of that, pen spinning sometimes lingers in my mind as a quiet question: Should I continue to enjoy it carelessly, the way I used to? Or should I let go of this small joy that has followed me since my school days, all the way into adulthood and working life? I think this story is similar to that of many generations before me. A small number still spin. A small number still follow the community. But the majority have completely walked away. Is this hobby really that easy to abandon? For me personally, although there will certainly be many moments where I reconsider how I should maintain this hobby, one...

How I made VNPS WT PROMO

Image
 INTRODUCTION   For such a long time, I really want to try to write something but have not been fully motivated to do so. After reading a few articles by Drowsy and Lotus, I truly understand the point of sharing personal ideas/experiences because it also means a lot to someone. Besides, practicing English is extremely important!!!   ALRIGHT, NOW LET'S GO TO THE MAIN TOPIC 1. BACKGROUND  To be frank, I've been constantly craving for making my own CV despite my lack of editing knowledge and devices - it means my laptop suck and cannot afford more than 2 effect layers. However, I think it's better than doing nothing so here comes the result ^^ While WT is coming in, making a promo of past competitors is such a nice idea, isn't it? Sadly that I couldn't get permission from KenMai and TBG. Thus, they're not included in the video this time.  2. EDITING PROCESS (MUSIC) After finishing contacting everyone for permission, I started to edit right away. With the purpose of...
