I love Animated movies!!

Watching Pixar's Finding Dory may rekindle your love for animated movies. Or if you're like me, that love never died in the first place.

This weekend, I took a little trip down to a movie theater to see the movie finding dory. Did I feel ashamed when I started to tear up at another one of Pixar's animated masterpieces? Hell no.

As a college student, it might sound strange to be obsessed with a film meant for a younger audience. But then again, the Harry Potter books were written for children, so why can't I have this?


The simplicity of the story and characters that provide the warmth we all search for nowadays. Nothing else can make us laugh and cry simultaneously. The world depicted are vibrant, marvelous and lush. They remind us of childhood aka good old days.


And the morals hit far closer to home now than they did have as children. Need I remind you of the time that Andy had to move away to college and decided to give away his beloved toys? Or what about being able to identify with Nemo's need for independence as he grows up (and possibly even understanding Marlin's difficultly with accepting his son's growth, as our own parents have had to learn to accept) in Finding Nemo?
There's no denying that animated children's movies are awesome.  As we get older, we don't have to let go of the films that taught us how to be the people we are today. Wreck-It-Ralph reminds us that "there's no one I'd rather be than me”. And the me I'd much rather be is the one who loves animated movies just as much (if not more so) than when I was a kid.

So the next time if you saw me sobbing at another animated movie then don't judge. We don't need such negativity in our life ( teehee!)

I call myself a feminist

 Inspired by a post I've read few months back.

 What exactly is feminism?
                                           

It is the advocacy of women's right on the ground of the EQUALITY of the sexes. Some would say that feminism is the notion that women are equal to  men. Some refuse to identify with feminism because they don’t want to be  perceived as "hating men". Others say feminism is a women’s right to control  her life, her body, and her future. And still others won’t align at all with  feminism because they believe it can’t co-exist with the traditional understanding of what it means to be a woman.

Let me simplify for you, 

 Women have a plain cupcake and men have a chocolate chip cupcake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. Realizing that this isn't fair, feminists have demanded to have icing and sprinkles too. Then, men have decided this isn't fair. Why should women get to improve their cake if men's cupcake isn't perfect, then they complain that they haven't got a cherry on top. When women try to point out that it's really more important that they have the same cupcake first before adding on extras, they get called 'radical', 'men haters' and 'not caring about men's cupcake at all. That's when people shout "why are you complaining?! Before, you didn't even have a cupcake, now you have one. We both have a cake, so we're "equal". This mentality gives rise to an ugly synonym of feminism, i.e. misandry.

Now you will say if feminism is about working towards gender equality then  what about men? And what about LGBT community. I believe those are real  issues too, and things that our society should work too to correct. 

 However, do many feminist ignore such issues because they hate men? NO.

 The mixed feelings about addressing men's issue tend to stem from the fact  that men's issue tends to be the default in our society. We're a male dominant  society. It will shift the focus from women's issues, resulting in no progress  in women's part of  gender progress. So instead they focus more on women's issues and let others focus on other's issues and that clearly doesn't make a feminist "misandrist".

Thank you for reading :)

letter to the 10 yr old me

I love the thought of time travel. it fascinates me, especially travelling along the course of my own life. i think it's got a lot to do with recognizing how much my life has changed - from what i expected as a 10- year-old to who I've become.

Inspire by soul pancake as i so often am, i wrote a letter to my 10 - year- old self.

Dear 10-year-old Me,

We turned 18 this year. I Know, right? i honestly don't feel like an adult. it feels like i m still a freshman in high school, but congrats you made it out alive. Let's start off with some spoilers. Harry potter will survive in the last part :p.

So girl, this is not another shitty letter where i'll be telling you to do this and that and your career and your future mistakes. NOOOO! I want you to make mistakes and learn from them . The reality is people mess up and they say," if you are not making MISTAKES, it means you are not trying hard" right.

You know how you love to play outdoors and explore the nature? Never stop doing that. people would say you're an introvert but no, you more than that. Don't let any labels to constrict you. Don't let anything to dull your sparkle. Open your mind to steer you on a lifelong quest to prove impossible is just a word. Be strong and stay humble and kind. Send my love to everyone, because i miss them a lot. I'll be always there for you.

the trick is to keep breathing. Always.
Heads up. eyes on the star.


love, 
your 18 year old self
