:: Which Studio Creates Which Anime? pt.1 ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! So...basically, I have been watching anime at home now that I don't have to think about campus-related matters any longer and I'm so relieved . That's main reason as to why I have been writing anime-related blog entries and probably that's why I will be writing another one relating to anime. This time, let me introduce the  animation studios that produced and currently produce your favorite anime and other anime you may have watched all this time . For now, I'll be looking at 4 studios, so let's go! YAY!

:: 2015 Anime Review ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! So...here I am again to update and also to do another anime review for a few anime I have watched during leisure time. Hahaha . Without further ado, let's go! On the right side is the anime entitled High School Star Musical   or most known as STARMYU   and yep, this anime tells the story of 1st year high school student, Hoshitani Yuta, who dreamed of becoming a star as his idol whom he first saw on one rainy day. He became good friend with Nayuki Toru on the first day of school and together they went for an audition organized by the Kao Council, the well-known student council comprised of 5 seniors from the musical department. Both of them alongside Tengeji Kakeru, Tsukigami Kaito and Koga Shu were almost disqualified when one of the Kao Council members, Otori Itsuki, was interested on them and thus, Yuta, Toru, Kakeru, Kaito and Shu became a team. Well, what I like about this anime was the fact that they were indeed musical. I mean, just read th...

:: Anime Review : Fall 2015 ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! So, I'm just watching some anime today...and guess what? I'm going to do my Fall (autumn) 2015 anime review. Do take note that the anime mentioned are those I watched now. So, let's get started! First one is Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou  in which embarks on the journey of Eren, Mikasa and Armin alongside their comrades; Jean, Bertholt, Sasha, Christa and Ymir, and seniors; Levi, Hange, and Rico at Titan Junior High School. The theme of this anime is very opposite to Shingeki no Kyojin   which has a much darker and serious-like theme . Since this is a parody of the previous anime itself, there will be a lot of funny gigs in each episode and you will not be disappointed with what you will see. Laughs. For those who are not fond with Shingeki no Kyojin  and more likely to relieve stress with laughter, how about watching this anime? I assure you guys, each episode runs for about 18 minutes and you will not realize the time until it finishes. N...

:: Of Me and My Current Life pt.2 ::

Salam, good day peeps! Long time since my last entry. Without further ado, let's begin. So, there has been many events happening in my life until now and it still has been . First was my one-month internship at my ex-school in my hometown - well, you would probably know which one since I have been talking about the school here in this blog .  After that, post-internship went for a month at the same school in which I liked it since I can see my teachers and pupils and do my works there. Second was my internship supervision . Unlike for my friends in schools around Kota Kinabalu, I had to undergo a centralized supervision whereby all teacher trainees from all IPGs who went for internship around Tuaran, Tamparuli, Menggatal and Telipok were obligated to attend. Of course, that somehow clashed with the most important event in my life. Care to take a guess? Hint: Cake.

:: Of Me and My Current Life ::

Salam, good day peeps! How do you do? Rhetoric indeed . Anyway, if you're asking me 'what am I doing now', I'm facing a new phase in my life whereby I'm currently having my pre-teaching internship at a school in my hometown. Since finishing the examination last September, I've left the campus for good ( and I mean it, really ) and from living off a so-called independent life, now I'm getting pampered when living at my own house. Eating as wished. Sleeping as wished. Doing work as wished. I can't deny how much I miss my friends ( besties, classmates,batch-mates, juniors etc. ) and even the cats in the dormitory. Those moments at campus especially with my classmates  made me wonder at first, whether I really am excited to be back home or not. Honestly? I don't know. Well, that's all for now. Till then.

:: Manga Review : Orange (TAKANO Ichigo) ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! It has been a while since my last update right? Rhetoric much. Anyway, I just finished reading a manga named 'Orange' by Takano Ichigo. Can you believe that I read the WHOLE thing in 3 hours? I surely can! Hahaha.  So, let me start my review with the synopsis okay? One day, 16-year-old Takamiya Naho receives a letter from the 10-year-after Naho herself stating something related to the transfer student, Naruse Kakeru and what would happen along the way. In that letter, the future Naho has repeatedly said that she has many regrets especially regarding to Kakeru  and she wants to fix those by making sure that Naho can make the right decision. Along the way, her friends; Suwa Hiroto, Chino Takako, Hagita Saku and Murasaka Azusa, lend a hand to help her to achieve their sole goal: TO SAVE KAKERU. What do I think about this manga? Honestly? There have been a mix of emotions that I can understand when reading. It's a roller-coaster and I can now ...

:: Yes, I do but... pt.2 ::

Salam, good day peeps! I've written my first part here . So, without further ado, let's start this topic by this question. If you have the chance to confess to the person you like, would you do it?

:: Poem - 72 Hours ::

72 hours. I sent a short message. But it was never be seen. A desperation I never had. Instant second crazed me. I seek for you in dream. To dream of romance. To relinquish this longing. To seek what I really felt. 72 hours. I searched for you. I looked over and over. Dark within light. Truth was being honest. This heart felt hurt. Finally I can declare farewell. My 72 hours of dreaming. Of an ideal romance.

:: Movie Review : Sunny ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Without further a-do, let's do this! Okay, so basically... Starred by well-known actresses such as Shim Eun-kyung, Kang So-ra and Min Hyo-rin, it was premiered in 2011 in South Korea and if I'm not mistaken, it was notably one of top seller and most viewed movie in the country.

:: Yes, I do but... ::

Salam, good day peeps! Before that, let me ask you guy one a personal question. When you have a crush or a girlfriend/boyfriend, have you ever imagine if ... YOU ARE TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH HER/HIM? 

:: Haiku - Sakura ::

Its ambience Enlighten My dullness. Its pink blushes Sparks Love within. Each tree Speaks out Uniqueness. Its existance Is what I appreciate. Cherry blossoms Is what I like the most.

:: Unexpected encounters ::

Salam, good day peeps! How's your Sunday? Mine was good since I was hanging out with my close friend and we chatted while having our lunch and so on. ...though there was AR to be worried for...HUH. BACK TO THE TOPIC! For the past few days, I had those few moments when I didn't really wish to meet certain people and somehow I ended up seeing them... as if God knew whom I had in mind. Why? To begin with, I am the girl who worries too much about everything. Then, even if I want to greet them, I hesitated. I began to wonder whether my presence was pleasing or not. Whether they were feeling the same as me. Those inner thoughts would never fail to freeze me on spot. Who? Basically, those whom I wished I never met outside home and campus. Well, about t his, I would not comment as much. When it actually happened, how does that feel? ...hmm... HONESTLY. Even though I was relieved, this little part of me was regretting over it. I knew such opportunities would come easily es...

:: Virtual to Real World Encounter ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! How's your week? More importantly, how's Ramadhan? Been so long since my last entry, getting more busier with life. But, the main reason for not updating was of course...the Internet connection. Hahaha. Anyway, back to the topic! To begin the story, it was last Friday when I was at 1Borneo with my parents to pick up my little sister there. We still were hanging out there when I suggested that we should go to few places together but of course, we will do so if we have our parents' permission. SO...WE DID. First is to Kaison, where I bought simple photo frame for room decorations. Second is to Popular, where I was looking out for new novels to read and my sister tagged along with me. Now here's why I named such an entry title. So, we went to Popular AND LUCKILY, I happened to find new novel by writer Weeda Airiza entitled Jual Beli Cinta (YAY!) and was searching for more when there were few familiar faces from Instagram, Facebook and...

:: ...and that's that. ::

Salam, good day peeps! It has been 2 days since the 3rd Phase of Practicum for us, PISMP TESL S7, ended. I'm now resting myself at home, watching favorite shows and dramas, surfing the Net like crazy ... and that's that. Till then.

:: At Home ::

Now at home, where I was supposed to be relaxed from all the works.

:: Being that bad, isn't it? ::

Salam, good day peeps! It's just one fine day that I've decided to write about this. Well, I don't know how you would perceive this topic, but try to relate each other okay? Let's get started! Smiles. Image courtesy from quoteswarehouse.com and of course, Mr. Google. Laughs. First of all, this quote here, doesn't it feel shockingly true to you guys? Surely, I myself admit that it is TRUE . 

:: Kingsman - Manners Maketh Man ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Yesterday, I went to the cinema with my family and got to watch Kingsman: The Secret Service with my younger sister while both of my parents and my youngest brother watched a Chinese movie which I don't remember the name . Anyway, back to the topic, here I am to give my thoughts on the movie. Let's get started! Kingsman: The Secret Service was first released in 2014 and later, officially released worldwide this year. It embarked the story of Gary Eggsy Unwin whose father died saving the lives of fellow Kingsman including senior spy Harry Hart. Feeling guilt over the death, he offered help to Eggsy and his mother by calling the number at the back of the medal and giving out the code; "Oxford, not brog". 17 years later, Eggsy met Hart again but at that time, Eggsy was getting into trouble with the police and he called the number and gave the code as how Hart instructed. As they were chit-chatting about Eggsy's late father, along with h...

:: Drama Review : Sirius ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! I've recently watched one of KBS2TV Drama Special this week. It was entitled 'Sirius'. Before beginning this review, let me tell you guys a bit about 'Sirius' itself. The term 'Sirius' was originated from Latin wo rd  SÄ«rius  which was actually derived from a Greek word Seirios (glowing, scorcer).  In the aspect of stars and constellation, it has been well-acknowledged as 'Dog's Star' or 'Orion's dog' and comprised into Sirius A and Sirius B. Both were bright bluish stars and they were very well-known in the relation to certain countries such as Greece and Eygpt. I thank Mr.Google and Wikipedia for my 10-minute reading of 'Sirius'. Image courtesy from AsianWiki. Giggles. Now let's get started! 'Sirius' unfolds the story of a pair of twins, Eun-chang and Shin-wu, who were separated until the age of 7 when their mother took Shin-wu back home from the orphanage. One fine day in high s...

:: Oh My Life ::

Salam, and good day peeps! It has been a while since my last entry. So, I'm just going to blah-blah-blah here for now. Here goes! So, my final year began with 3-week of non-stop lectures for 2 courses. Each with its own complexity. I can assure you will feel the same if you have to face the same thing everyday. I envy my juniors now. Then, yesterday, I found out that one of our IPG Gaya's ex-lecturer has passed away due to illness. I was feeling sad to know that. He was one of TESL Group 2's tutor and he was very kind to us. Condolences to his family, for their loss. Anyway, by the time I'm writing this, I am currently having teaching experience for 3 months  and it has been 2 weeks since then  and sure, I have my ups and downs when it comes to teaching. I have not done much self-reflection towards my teaching and this somehow backfired me and my lessons again and again.  Yeah, that upsets me pretty much this time. But then, it's life and yeah, I ...

:: the stress is on! ::

Salam, good day peeps! Am not going to be long here, since I'm writing this in the midst of lecture session. Just let me say this once. the stress is on! Second week hasn't ended yet it seems like we're mentally exhausted from countless and continuous lectures and presentations and draft proposal for Action Research. For the same reason now, I'm getting very depressed and pressured to the fact that the real deal is finally coming. ( sobbing)  Even if I'm to rant this, it wouldn't make me relaxed ... MUCH. (patting my shoulder as a sign of sympathy for myself) Well, that's all for now. Till then.

:: First Semester of Final Year ::

Salam, good day peeps! It's almost 10 o'clock here, by the way. Frankly, I'm currently living my student life in the campus after almost 2-month holiday. In fact, this year is my final year in IPG Gaya. I couldn't yet grasp the fact that I'm now one of the so-called SUPER SENIOR   and the fact that there will be Action Research and Practicum and Internship and many other things to happen for upcoming month. Though I didn't reach the point of being stressed, I do feel burdened with every little thing. One thing surely is the RELIEF CLASS   and yeah, I specifically disliked the idea of having night class. I prefer afternoon one. (Screw my foul mouth for agreeing for night class) By the way, there are two courses I need to focus on this semester as it is going to be my last chance to overcome my grades and then, pass in high color and be proud of the end result. Like seriously. Okay, I think that's all for now. Need to watch Shirokuma Cafe before going t...

:: Manga Review : SAKISAKA Io ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! For today's post, here I am to write my first manga a.k.a. Japanese comic review. Straight to the point. Yeah.  First is Ao Haru Ride ( Blue Spring Ride ), created by Sakisaka Io in 2011. This comedy-romance and school life manga gives a story of Yoshioka Futaba, a first-year high school girl who wanted to reset due to her past middle school experiences by changing her personality. However, it did not go well as she met her first love, Tanaka Kou in the same high school and began to accept herself and then fight for Kou's attention and love(perhaps). The reason I want to recommend this is, I personally how determined and absolute Futaba is when she wanted to redeem her past mistakes towards the man she really loves. Also, I personally think that all of us can relate ourselves when chasing for something we wished for, when reading this. So, for those who enjoys love dramas and love triangles, you may go read the manga right away. By the way, if y...

:: Anime Review - Psycho-Pass ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! Before begin another review, may I say ... IT'S STILL HOLIDAY!? Yes! Another day without thinking about le campus. Okay, here goes! Psycho-Pass, which was first released on the fall season in 2012, was an anime centering the lives of law-abiding police officers and enforcement officers. This action-psychological-science fiction-thriller anime will bring you into the lives of Tsunemori Akane, a young lady who became one of the Criminal Investigation Division alongside Kougami Shinya and the rest of members and fight the crime justly and according to the Sibyl System. Now, why did I recommend this? I'll give a little spoiler for that. You see, the settings of Psycho-Pass interprets how the law system could change because of high rate of crimes in everyday life. Even by measuring the rate of one's state of mind, personality and stress level, those people would be either pursued, apprehended or killed immediately. Frankly, if this Sibyl System did...

:: 2013 Anime Review ::

Image
Salam, good day peeps! I just looked at the posts I have done so far AND ... I found four (or more) posts regarding to anime reviews. Since I am currently getting my supply of fresh anime with little sister's help , I decided to write another review. Hopefully, my review can help some anime lovers around the world. Giggles. First is Kyoukai no Kanata, or Beyond the Boundary, is one of the 2013 fall anime that I look forward to watch. This comedy-romance-fantasy-adventure genre anime tells the story of Kanbara Akihito and Kuriyama Mirai as they have met each other at the school rooftop in which he thought Mirai wanted to commit suicide and ended up being stabbed by her instead. Mirai inherited blood manipulation and she can form a sword with her blood while Akihito inherited youmu's healing ability which makes him invulnerable to wound and I.M.M.O.R.T.A.L..  Here, I personally loved this anime's way of teaching self-appreciation  and perhaps determination and passio...
