90s Anime Pick

Image
It was because of my sister that I got hook up watching anime. I was still six back then when she introduced me to a cute anime series that became my favorite childhood anime now. Before I got into Taiwanese/Korean drama, watching anime was my leisure. Because Netflix/watching online wasn't very popular back then, I used to eagerly looking forward in watching my favorite anime in their designated airing time in Animax (a television channel that airs anime series) . In those days, it's hard to follow the over-all series as watching it isn't very accessible considering that I was still schooling and most of the time they air it during the day. Hence, I didn't get much of its storyline, however… fastforward… when online anime sites/Netflix where already a thing I tried to finish some of my favorite old series and it's truly a reminiscing experience to do it. If you're looking for a light and funny, classic old anime here are my picks for you. Cardcaptor Sakura ...

Two Bizarre Movies I just Watched

Image
Hello! Recently, I was being brave enough to watched this two bizarre movies on HBO . Wait I forgot if it was HBO or another else . Oh well. I was really curious when it was featured on the channel, so I decided to try watching it.  🌼 Tale of Tales As this was featured as a new movie on HBO, I thought it was about a typical life in the medieval period. But, I was wrong. Tale of Tales is about three families with different stories that was weaved into one plot. It was really a strange movie. I never expected to see sea monsters and necromancer in it. I had watched this at night and it was a really good decision of mine. Really good.  And yet, the movie was really great. The story was well thought and the characters were so good. At the end of the movie, I was really astonished for quite a long time. It was deep and very metaphorical that I came to pondered on the thought of how one's selfish desires would affect other people. It was indeed an unforgettable grim fair...

Are you fond of Korean dramas? Because I am dying to tell you something... I am so so so so head over heels with Descendants of the Sun! I'm not sure if you ever heard of this Korean drama but this is the bomb in Asia this season. At least it is popular mostly in South Korea, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, and Philippines as I can see on the internet. Now I understand that not all people are fond of such but please do try to watch it.  I'm going to let go of my excitement first because I have butterflies all around my body right now. When I saw this posted in Facebook I wasn't really attracted to it since I thought that it was a Korean culture film. The title describes it though. But when my classmates were already talking about it in class and I can see a lot of post about it in social media I thought I could give it a try.  So here I am now, having mix feelings after I watched it. The drama mainly focuses on the love story of a soldier and a ...

Reads: Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Hey! It's been a week since I had done a new post. It has been rough in school since pre-finals and finals week are approaching. However, I did find time to depart myself from reality as I had read a new book that I borrowed from my friend. This is exactly a no fairy tale kind of novel that it really cuts you deep as if you were the characters in the story.  It's not my thing to read a slightly dramatic book, yet I appreciate that I somehow learned something out of it. I realized that this kind of novels opens me up to a possible real life situation where life or love is more of what it is capable of giving. After reading this book, I concluded that Love can make or break you. Indeed, it's true. Love is strong. It can bend, change, twist, and transform everything into good or bad. Nevertheless, I always say to myself that whatever love may give it will always for the better, for yourself, for him, and for everyone. Overview Ugly Love by Colleen ...
