on voting and watching

today i had made one of the hardest decisions in my life.
today i felt like i am really a part of this society, that i am existing, and that i am no longer a CHILD.

today, i practiced my right and my obligation to VOTE.

everything felt good.
well, except for that blob of ink on my nail. :((

choosing the right people to vote for is as hard as answering a physics long exam.
it's as scary because your future depends on the name you're gonna write on the ballot.
just like an exam, there are always right or wrong answers.
but you'll only realize whether you've answered right or wrong after six years - after the person you voted for has finished his term.

oh well.
i hope i made the right choice. :))

we watched "grave of the fireflies" at home. the movie was really good. i suggest you watch it. but make sure you have your tissues right there with you, ok?


Grave of the Fireflies

Taking place toward the end of World War II in Japan, Grave of the Fireflies is the poignant tale of the relationship between two orphaned children, Seita and his younger sister Setsuko. The children lost their mother in the firebombing of Kobe, and their father in service to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and as a result they are forced to try to survive amidst widespread famine and the callous indifference of their countrymen (some of whom are their own extended family members). Setsuko eventually dies from malnutrition, and the graphic nature of suffering and death is uniquely harrowing in the annals of anime.


i am loving classic animations now. especially hayao miyazaki's works. i'm glad i saw that dvd (collection of hayao miyazaki's works). *grin*
