What's Up: I Am Sick // 10 Movies I Watched and Re-watched

Hey, it's been a long time. Honestly, I am not in the mood to write, but I have a lot of time, so why not?

A lot of time? Yes. Summer class is over. Clap! Clap! Clap! BUT!!!!!! First Semester will start on June 21, 2014, which means I only have a few days to take a rest and have fun.

Scratch that. Have fun? How can I?!!!!! I am so sick right now and I can't have fun. I am so frustrated to the point that I cried all night because I can't dance, I can't go to work, I can't go outside, I can't meet my friends (I needed to cancel my dinner date with them). Because of these... I feel fat even if I am not. I am being a Drama Queen here again... sorry for that. Aside from that, I can't talk to my friends about my situation because they're happy and I don't want to disturb them and be a burden again.

I went to the hospital today and changed my doctor. With all honesty, the first doctor who checked me up was not very convincing. When I saw him... I could feel a negative energy. Aside from that, he looked very nervous when he saw me and he looked funny... weird... strange. He didn't even check me well. I complained to my mother, but she said we'll go back again if my condition will not change because we couldn't go to the hospital the next day (Saturday) because it's my Defense day for my Project Research Development... I must be present.

The Doctor who checked me today is my grandmother's doctor. When I saw her and interviewed me, I can say that I was at ease the whole conversation. When she touched me to check a part of my body, her touched resembled my mother's and I like her instantly. She gave an additional medication and told me that I needed some test which means that I need to go back again... I am so tired, but it's for my health so I must endure, right?

I feel alone but not sad nowadays that's why I spent my time watching movies and dance videos. I swear!!!!! I am going to dance when I get better. I miss Zumba so much. I miss it terribly!!!!

Here's a list of the movies I watched for the past few days. (All pictures are from google.com)

Tonari no Totoro (1988)
 
 
I'm a fan of Totoro. I did drawings of this character when I was in highschool. Re-watching this movie made me feel nostalgic and it's like I was transported back to the past. :) It's a good movie for children. You can learn a lot of lessons here. I don't have a sibling and I envy Mei-chan for having a sister. :)

Nobody Knows (2004)
 
 
It's a great movie. I laughed, I cried but I felt so sorry most of the time. It's a good movie for family and for those women who are going to be a mother in the future. When I finished watching this, I swore to myself that I will NEVER neglect and/or abandon my children in the future, that I will be faithful to my husband and dedicate myself to my family.
 
The Secret World Of Arrietty (2011)
 
 
I had a good time watching this even if it caused me a very painful headache the next day, since I watched this late at night. I thought it was a romance film but fortunately it was not. I love the plot that's why I plan to look for the novel to read it. The movie and novel are always different, right?
 
Paprika (2006)
 
 
Weird. Very strange for me. I enjoyed it though. When my student learned that I watched this, he looked at me and said "You're very weird Teacher Erica."
 
Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
 
 
Howl is my crush right now! hahaha! Yeah. I think he's very cool and his love for Sophie is quite PURE. I want to experience that too. Pure Love. <3 <3 <3 It's one of my favorites from Studio Ghibili. :)

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)
 
 
Do you want to be a witch? Kiki is one of my favorite witches in town! This is a good movie. That's all I can say. I don't want to be an spoiler. :)
 
Lady Jane (1986)
 
 
Are you a Tudor History enthusiast like me? The if yes, I suggest this movie. This is the story of Lady Jane, cousin of Edward the VI, son of Henry the VIII from his third wife Jane Seymour. Lady Jane is one of favorite Tudor women, maybe second to Queen Anne Boleyn. This movie is not Historically accurate though. Nevertheless, the actor and actress made the it very real. I was so into it the whole time. If you like Tudor History, please contact me... and let's have a chat because all of my friends can't relate with me. They now consider me as a History Freak.

Akira (1988)
 
 
I can't say much about this movie. The graphic is not so good because of the fact that it was made in the 1980's. The plot is quite dismal and depressing. I don't want to live in this era. Never! If you are a Shounen fanatic.. this movie is for you.
 
Perfect Blue (1988)
 
 
Do you want to be famous? Will you do everything to be known? Well, this movie is about an ex-J-pop artist who decided to pursue an acting career, but during the process something peril happened. Did I like the movie? So-so. I just hate watching women being violated.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)
 
 
This is the 5th time I watched this. I already watched the Live action movie 4 times. I read the novel too. I therefore conclude that every version has a different story line. Nevertheless, I like this movie even if the ending is very depressing. It made my heart broken.


I still have a lot movies to watch, a lot of Tudor History book to read and a lot of Totoro drawings to finish... Good night everyone!

Stay healthy!

Things that made me happy:
  1. Eating Meiji Chocolate.
  2. Listening to Zumba music and imagining myself dancing.
  3. Studying how to play "Greensleeves", an English folk song during the 16th century, the Tudor Era.
  4. Reading Tudor History Books.
  5. That I am still alive.
