My Holidays (Dec 24th - Dec 27th)

Hey all...

I want to tell you about how I spent my quality holidays a few days ago which started on December 24th 2015 until December 27th 2015. Don’t worry, I will tell you in short.

Actually, I did nothing besides reading books and watching TV series. Yup, I didn’t watch the movie last holiday. I watch some TV series and read some books.

Well my first day of the holiday, I spent sleeping until noon. Because I was so tired and I loved to sleep on holiday. You could wake up at noon and didn’t feel guilty by waking up at noon. Lately, I’d been working until late and I’d never sleep before 12 a.m. So, I kind lack of sleep.

The next day, it should be Christmas day even though I didn’t celebrate it. I usually go to my uncle and aunty's house to visit them at Christmas (we have different religions), but this Christmas, I didn’t go because my mom was sick. We couldn’t leave her alone at home. Moreover, we renewed our house, so we had to look after the progress.

Thanks to the last holiday, I could take some rest. I woke up at noon, did some housework, and then watched TV series. It was the first time that I watched TV for many hours. Honestly, I’ve never done that before. I rarely watch television on days or nights. Well, since we renewed our house, our house was so messy. It was a kind of shelter. There are books everywhere, furniture which doesn’t belong in their places, and many more. So that’s why we couldn’t do many activities besides watching television. Kind of sad. But I really hope it could be done soon.

The next day was still the same as the previous day. I just spent my holidays watching television. I watched it with my mom and my sister. That was so nice because we were so busy on office days and we have other activities at the weekend such as my sis continuing her studies and me taking some courses.

Hahaha.. so overall, I just spent my holidays by watching and reading some books. But most of the time I watched TV series.

That’s all from my activities. Thank you for reading my unnecessary posting.

See you in the next posting.

Karigurashi no Arrietty (借りぐらしのアリエッティ)

This movie was made by Studio Ghibli, 2010. I want to review this movie independently. I loved this movie. Since, I watched it today, noon, I want to give you some review about this movie.

Karigurashi no Arrietty (借りぐらしのアリエッティ) or The Secret World of Arrietty (in English) is about some borrowers, Arrietty’s family, that live with the human world. Borrowers are four-inch-tall people who live anonymously in other people’s house. They are borrowing simple items which are seldom been noticed by a human for their own goods at home.

One day, a little boy, named Sho, stay for the summer at his aunt house where Arrietty lived. When Sho arrived, he noticed about Arrietty’s existence even in a glimpse.

At night, it was Arrietty’s first time to borrow sugar and tissue. So, she went with her dad to borrow. After obtaining a sugar cube, they went around to bedroom where Sho slept. They enter through a hollow wall into a dollhouse. Unfortunately, Sho saw Arrietty when she tried to take a tissue from his table. Startle, she dropped the sugar cube. Then, they quietly left and went home.

The next morning, Sho left the sugar cube in front of ventilation. Her dad warned her not to take because their existence must be kept secret from humans. Despite that, Arrietty sneaked out to see Sho in his bedroom and dropped the sugar cube in order to let him know that she was there. Arrietty told him to leave her family alone. But that day, his father decided that they had to move out.

The problems came when Sho tried to give the Arrietty family a kitchen from the dollhouse. Unfortunately, Haru noticed their existence and captured Arrietty’s mother. With Sho’s help, they saved Arrietty’s mother. But they had to leave quickly.

In their farewell, Sho gave her a sugar cube and told Arrietty that she gave him courage for him to live through the operation. In return, Arrietty gave him her hair clip as a token of remembrance. In the end, Sho said that Arrietty is part of him that he will not forget.

I love this movie. There are some quotes from this movie that I love. Such as:

Sometimes you have to fight for the things that are worth fighting for.

You are part of me now, I will never forget you.

Many more.

In this movie, we learn to have some brave and courage in ourselves. Sometimes things aren’t going well as we expect to. But we have to overcome it.

If you like Studio Ghibli, I’ll really recommend you to watch this movie. You will really like this movie a lot. I’ve already watched it several times. I’ve ever watched it twice in a day and I never get bored.

PS: you are part of me now, I will never forget you. But I’m not you’re the one, right? So, farewell. 

I'm on My Way

Have you ever given or be given excuses to people? I do believe that every people have been ever given or be given excuses.

For me the famous excuse that has been given to me is

I’M ON MY WAY

Yep. But where are you right now? Where is the way that you mean? Is that path same as my final destination or just a loop? When will you exactly arrive at final destination? No one knows. You are the only one who knows when it will happen. Sadly, you never tell how long it takes to arrive.

Can I assume that it means you will be coming very late or even not coming? Maybe, it’s just an excuse that you don’t want to meet me. I don’t mind spending my time waiting for but you have to make sure that you will definitely come. It’s your choice though whether you want to tell me how long I have to wait for you or not. Nevertheless, I will be waiting for you in disappointment.

However the meaning, it depends on every people’s mind. Sometimes it’s true that you are really on your way to meet people and sometimes it’s just an excuse to avoiding people.

Well, just for your information, maybe I’m on my way, too. But do we have the same destination? Well, no one knows.
