Friday Five: I’m loving it

Okay2 what is Friday Five? Em actually it is nothing. Haha.. I just wanted to list out five things that I adore or what cheers me through this week.

So here goes the top 1. Of course this event arouses every person around this world – The Royal Wedding.

I can’t say any further because I guess right now everyone knows and talks about this historical wedding. Maybe I create another post about this special event. So, in this post I included a photo of Prince William and Princess Catherine share a kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace which was anticipated by thousand people around this world.

How lucky is Kate? I want to be a princess too. Luckily I found my own prince charming (I’m blushing….) Emmm…  anyway, I wish this royal couple will have a blissful marriage and a lifetime happiness. Hooray for them!


2. The Royal Wedding Hats.

Haha.. say no more. So many gorgeous and weird hats (but I still love all of them). Why can’t fairies wear a hat like them?

3. Faerie potter

Last Monday I created a few beads and pendants made by clay. Actually, I wanted to make a key-chain and carved special dates on that key-chain. But then, there was so many clay left, so I decided to make something else. It was a fun project. Right now, I’m still waiting to see my pottery works. Hahaha… I asked someone else to heat the clay with proper technique because as you all know, I’m not a potter. I’m just a little dream fairy who always get lost throughout her journey.

4.  So Supernatural

I can’t wait to see one of my favorite TV series – Supernatural. I’ve been saving two back-to-back episodes so that I can watch those two episodes without any disruption. Emm… maybe I can wait until I download another new episode so that I have three episodes. Yeay!

5. Pot… pot… pot… coffee pot

Lately, I read a lot about coffee set. Not because I’m a coffeeholic . No.. no.. I’m not planning to buy any coffee set either. I read and saw so many interesting and exciting history, facts and design about pottery, ceramic coffee set and so on because I helped my sister in correcting her thesis. That’s why if you all noticed, my sentences in this post are quite academical and a bit different from my usual writing style. Hahaha… But I must admit, I’m started to like pottery because when I saw most of the designs, they are marvelous and very inspiring.

A warm thought

My little heart go out to everyone effected by the tsunami and earthquake. Let us keep all those people in our thoughts and prayers.

P/S: Please help by doing something you possibly can

#6 Where are those Fireflies…

The moment I wrote this, I’m still crying. Damn those fireflies. You probably wondering what the hell really happen right? Maybe you are thinking what are the stories behind those cursing flowing from my sweet fairy’s mouth (aahhh….) and all the fireflies things.

Let me share a story which I really don’t think will make me goes sobbing inconsolably…

This is a remarkable tale about a teenage boy and his younger sister in their survival set amid the atrocities of war during the post-World War 2 in Japan. The story begin with the scene of a janitor found a metal candy-drop container from a lifelessly boy lying on the floor. The janitor took the metal container and threw it into the field and a few fireflies lit up and flew away.

So, what so important about the metal container that I want to write it here? Naa… I guess I leave it to you to watch the movie. No need to spoil the whole story here right? Go find the movie and watch it. But please do make sure you have lots and lots of tissues with you. I guaranteed you that no one will walk away without shedding a single tear after watching this movie (maybe there will be someone who don’t want to admit it and he/she will say ‘oh, there’s something in my eyes’ haha).

For me this is a very great war-related movie which worth couple hours to watch. It is not about the war itself but it is more about the people who lives through it. It’s about what it takes to live your life as you cannot guess what will happen in the future especially during this time of war (WW2).

From what I read, the tale is a true story in history which the writer was a survivor of the Kobe bombings who wrote the book to apologise to his little sister who died during the war. But some said the movie and the story are semi-biographical. Well, whatever history lies behind this tale, I just can say this is a MUST SEE movie.

Version 1: Original animation

Version 3: Live-action movie

As I believed, there are three versions of this story. The original story is the animation which takes us back to 1988, and then it was adapted into TV-Drama Series in Japan in 2005. Later in 2008, based on the original animation, comes a live-action movie of this great tale.

Version 2: TV-Drama Series

Owh damn fireflies! What?! It’s not about the fireflies. It’s about the movie you stupid fairy. Arghhhh… I don’t want to continue anymore as it only bring tears to me (You know, I am a very sensitive little fairy. huuuu). So people… start searching for this movie or should I say anime instead of movie.

Title:  Hotaru no haka (Japanese) / Grave of the Fireflies (English)

Director: Isao Takahata

Original air date: April 1988

Happy watching people as I go flap-flap my wings hoping to catch some fireflies
