Spirited Away


10-year old Chihiro becomes trapped in a forbidden world of gods and magic when her parents take her to investigate the other side of the tunnel. In order to survive, Chihiro must work and make herself useful, and find within her the courage and resolve she needs to save her parents and escape from a world where humans are despised.

This is the first Ghibli Studio movie that I've watched and it really made me become interested with the Ghibli movies. At first, I thought that this movie was a very weird one. But as the story progresses, I found similarities with Alice in Wonderland, where Chihiro was stranded in the spirit's world. This story revolves in the importance of promises. The inhabitants in the spirit world are bound to every oathes they make and this includes Yubaba, the "boss" of the famous spa in the spirit world, where Chihiro was hired.
My favorite character in this film is Hakku, Yubaba's right hand and the river dragon god. I like his cool and collected personality. When Hakku and Chihiro met, the story started to have its twist and the plot of the story became more and more apparent. The most important characteristic of the film is its unpredictability. You would never expect the events that would happened next. It also includes some very weird and interesting characters, example would be Yubaba's giant baby and the spirit that keeps following Chihiro.

Death Note


Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects - and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god.Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. ut when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal... or his life?

A very sadistic anime. It's like they are just playing with death. It is also an anime that would really let you think hard about it's plot. The game between L and Light would really make your mind turn upside down. This is an anime where the main character is the evil one and the antagonist the good guy.

What would I be writing in this blog?

hmmm... laugh... This could contain anything that would tickle my funny bone. It could be a comic strip, a joke, or a very funny experience. I will also be giving reviews of the anime (japanese animation) or movies that I've watched and liked (coz usually I like comedy movies or shows). learn... Whatever I learn and find quite interesting, I would probably post it here too. It's always good to impart your knowledge to everyone. Anything that would make me go "ahaa! *lightbulb*" would go here for everyone to read. listen... The music that I listen to would depend on my mood. If I like releasing my anger, I go for rock or alternative music. Bossa or acoustic songs would be nice if I want to chill and relax. If I'm in love of corz love songs are what I'll be listening to. I'm open to any type of music if I'm just feeling good. And I also love to sing! :D love... Mostly the things that I would write here are the things that I love in life. I love to eat, read, sleep, sing, or just anything under the sun that would interest me. ^_^
