Frustrations

Just recently, I watched two Japanese anime movies that had been dubbed. They were 'Spirited Away' and 'Howl's Moving Castle' by Hayao Miyazaki. They were both directed by him and were both wonderful movies. 'Spirited Away' was so different from today's fantasy movies revolving around vampires and werewolves. The movie was enriched with so much culture and I was fascinated by the story. Even though the ending made me want to punch a hole in the wall, or at least try to, it was such a beautiful movie. I recommend that you guys go and watch, it's so enchanting.

The other one, 'Howl's Moving Castle', was so good that I watched it twice in the course of 24 hours. It was adapted from Diana Wynne Jones' book by the same name. I have only read one of her books before, 'The Merlin Conspiracy'. That book was incredible, because she had created this set of worlds that interlocked with ours. It creates a feeling different from Narnia, where it's more like a dreamworld, and instead creates an alternate or parallel dimension to ours. Similar to the 'Golden Compass'. Her books just make me so curious to what will happen with the characters, and after having seen the movie, I desperately want to read the book. The movie had that perfect blend of humour, adventure, and romance. Sadly enough, the library here doesn't have it, so I will probably have to buy it or find somebody to borrow it from.

Now back to reading my favourite book series, I realized that I can't take the endings of books. They just make me feel so upset because I have become so attached to the characters. I immerse myself in the world the author has created and never want to leave it.

And the 'fun' has begun

So, I have now officially started my personal project. Yippee!!! Can't you hear the glee in my voice? so far I am only researching, but my product is due in January...so lots of fun work up ahead. I am so swamped again. I have no idea how I managed to do everything back in KL. Now that I think about it, I got good grades, did well on the swim team, went to dutch lessons and had piano lessons. It's a freaking miracle. Here, all I do is school work, but I feel more stressed out than back home. It could also be because the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade is a tough one. So I guess that is my cue to get back to work.

Anyone who is reading this, feel free to comment; I like reading what others have to say, strangers or not.
