Emotional
Appreciate what we have now

Life wouldn't be known as mystery if we have premonition of the future

My own summary:
It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?
This book is all about a mother's love. unconditional. unbounded. a love that last a lifetime and beyond. and yes, love you even if you lie on the streets with the rest of the world spitting on u
This is a story of a man who gets the chance to spend one more day with his mother, who died 8 years earlier.

Cherish the moments before they're gone.You come away with a desire to pay closer attention to the world around you and what you have. Not to mention the desire to go and hug your mom, just in case

Read it if you are a parent.
Being a child once gives more reasons for u to read this.
The English is as simple as it gets. I love this book for being precisely descriptive.

p/s: my advice is:don't read it at night. i wouldn't want anyone to get puffy eyes the next day. enjoy, my fellow muffins..

not your average toOns

on a random day, a random kid after Little Mermaid/SnowWhite asked me
"hey, jie, what's the moral behind the cartoon?"
i was dumbfounded.
ermmm "Little Mermaid teaches us not to save random drowning victim cause in the end he will break ur heart, SnowWhite-u should sleep on while waiting for ur Prince Charming to kiss u"
wait...that sounds wrong.

and no, i dont really watch Disney due to the "happily ever after" which of course unluckily seldom applies to the reality.
in fact, i am sick of Disney. it's overrated.
in fact, i am more to Asian favors of toons especially those by the Ghibli Studio.
It's so good that it should be made MANDATORY for kids.

i was first introduced to Ghibli because a friend used to name himself as Totoro. he is pathetic fan of Totoro. checking out Totoro leads me to a series of Ghibli works

となりのトトロ (My Neighbour Totoro)

Totoro is a classic. and once u take a classic for a starter, u will be starving for more
this fat cat has become the mascot representing Studio Ghibli..
an asteroid is named as 10160 Totoro..

千と千尋の神隠し (Spirited Away)

this movie, my friend, has all the attention in the world when it wins a number of award (including the 1st anime film to win Academy Award).

火垂るの墓 (Grave of the Fireflies)

if u dont cry after this, u are one ruthless cold-blooded mortal. i cry buckets over this.
so simple, yet reflecting.
just so u dont think i shiok sendiri here-according to Roger Joseph Ebert (an expert at reviews), this is one of the BEST anti-war movie ever made.
there is a life-action movie based on this. yet to watch.

魔女の宅急便 (Kiki's Delivery Service)

i dont really like this myself. esp the storyline. nothing to shout about
despite that, it brought home a few awards too.

もののけ姫 (Princess Mononoke)

i have to sit 3hours for this.
it was good nonetheless but not much for me to exaggerate on

ハウルの動く城 (Howl's Moving Castle)

with Kimura Takuya (yeah, i still think he is hot despite his ojeesan age) as the voice casting.
the last Ghibli i watched.

and left me there thirst for more cause afterward, Ghibli went silent...
until

崖の上のポニョ(Ponyo on a Cliff) a July 2008 production

i watched through the first 15 min (stop cause i need to attend church activity) so yet to comment. but graphically settings are much simplified, me heart


the best part is, all these animation from Ghibli studio, u can watch it over and over again-discovering new things without getting sick of it.
it's not ur average "once upon a time.." and "she is the most beautiful in the land" and "oh here comes the Prince who saves the day"...and the sickening ending of all "...and they lived happily ever after" (did i mention that before?hmm)
then u watch the second time, u are staring blankly then the next thing u know, u are damn heck burning the DVD and smashing the screen.
the only thing that stopped me from throwing that chair at the new flat-screen, is my dad's cold stare

p/s: i do have a happy childhood,fyi. i just want my future kids to realise that world is not so pretty afterall. expose them first to Ghibli then followed by Disney.
p/p/s: the above listed movies are just PART of the studio products, they have few others which i yet to watch. i watched blockbuster first ma...

Mondo Grosso - Now You Know Better
feat. Amel Larrieux

Can you remember when you were just 6 years old
with a trusting heart accepting everything you're told
anyone bigger must have been right even if they were wrong
you'd take what was given you didn't know better

all your little mind could comprehend was goodness and truth
even when the baddest things were being done to you
ain't it a shame how you pay for your innocence
when you take what was given you didn't know any better 'bout

loving,cheatin,people leaving,dying,living,losin and forgivng
growin,sayin no and,being who you are

What about the time when you became 16 years old
with an unsure heart believing some of what you're told
wanting to be someone different, but there's pressure to be the same
so you'd take what was given you didn't know better

all that you could think about was what you should or should not do
every single insecurity was magnified for you
and suddenly you began to feel all the contradictions
but you'd take what was given you didn't know better 'bout

Now here you are little older than before
you really been through it and you might go through some more
but if there's one precious thing you've learned,
it's that you can't just take what is given,
cuz now you know better 'bout

loving,cheatin,people leaving,dying,living,losin and forgivng
growin,sayin no and,being who you are
now you, now you, now you know better

T-shirt affair

am a big fan of T-shirts. nice prints added.
especially love Graniph. was introduced to this when i was in J-town last yr.

has it's branch anywhere but not in Malaysia. they have it in singapore.
taiwan has 2 franchises.
i was expecting to see this everywhere in taiwan but when it came to the day before i headed back home, i was ady MENOPAUSING and throwing tantrum coz i couldnt find any store.

i was desperate to the extend of stopping passer-by and asked.

the store has even some print for fools who helps to promote indirectly.
talking about free walking advertisement, huh?!?well, it works coz that's how i found the store.



this T kenot la..it will seems like milk dripping out from afar.

damn T..make life complicated nia

anti or not?!?! aint the T a love already..

simple print like this makes me high.....

smexy bear aint it. saw it there but baby pink make me look fat-TER..gotta be careful



corrupted. me like. except i ady have skull-printed on the same blue.
note: i am tad fussy when it comes to T

not necessary graphics. when it comes to wordings, i fall in love easily too. but too bad i cant understand..

well said..dont take people for granted and believing that u could live forever in ur own little world.

kenot kenot. the clown looks so much like me....
finally, with Angeline who is kind enough to stick with me throughout the night, i bought 2-T..woo hoo~~i shouldnt buy more because damn store comes out w different prints every season.

T shirts are episodes of orgasm. a friend stated before.

edit

i did not buy any of the T shown here. mine is secrecy. so dont even bother asking me "hey, is that Graniph??" those who know me, shoulda know..
T shown above taken from Graniph webbie which is at the side link for those interested.

final before off

second day on 88keys..

out of the 12 tracks, i opted for more than half..88keys is love
u aint know no music if u aint give him a try

anticipation for doping time for the next coming 6 days..
dont expect anything here for the next week..i am off for holidays..

signing off with lotsa love

art..

i failed my art terribly terribly during my high school..
i hate the teacher,
i still remember her multiple looks of disgust,
they haunt and my greatest fear then was canvas and paint
i hate arts ever since..

however,
during surfing other day,
i half wished that i could paint and see world differently

on a weird mood
i wanna meet DJ steve aoki

work is life, life is work

i recently got back on track with this cheapest form of addiction~~
caffein. thanks to the Kordel aunty@ my workplace.


get to see people from all walks of life,
from weirdos to the best of best of their fields.

i worked as a staff,
a staff that are allowed to bombard Drug-Lord with thousands of Q,
being given the special treatments
i never admit myself as druggist~~

i have people that came in and thought that i am just another new staff,
but turn 180 degree once the Drug-Lord informed that i am in his clan.
how materialistic!?
i don't really mind though, cause it happens even to the people i once thought i knew so well.
stupidity really rules..
it gets u to see clearer


the more i work, i think the more health freak i will be

many of my pens and notebooks are all drug-based.
thanks to the sales rep who "bribe" us indirectly~~
my mother uses Pfizer pen to write her 4D number on a Regaine pieces of paper
-_-

MY LULLABY
i listened to a japanese radio show by one and only particular host.
of course, i recorded it.
his show is usually late at night around 2am (japan time)
i must listen to get to sleep
the DJ

that picture doesn't do him justice. he looks like the Grimm who stole X'mas

same person, different hairstyle.

i don't understand most of it.
but i roughly know overall what he was conveying~
i am learning the language, so listening to his show helps a bit.
his voice is soothing anyway.

x

i want i want~~



i love T. my best wear: jeans and T

mother's day is coming!!
