Orange Trees, very pretty



This is one of my happiest days. I went up to Bontoc, Mountain Province. This is on the northern part of the Philippines. This is already my 5th time to go there but I always don't get the opportunity to get into the Orchard. And finally the day came. And here are some of the pics. Orange trees are rare in the Philippines as it has been believed to only grow in Cold Countries. But in Bontoc, the weather is really cool and it go as low as 9 degrees which is really ideal for Oranges to grow. In this Orchard, there were seven varieties of Oranges which I didn't really have time to focus on and really check as I was busy eating oranges and admiring the place.(LOL)

Mulan(filipino version)



Today, I get to watch Mulan with my niece Alexa. It was good actually to have watched Mulan "pinoy Style". The colorful costumes and make up was also good and the actors were really effective in their respective roles. My niece Alexa went to see it and expecting that it would be the same as Disney's version. She was not really disappointed but got scared when the lights went off and kept on asking if when is Mulan goin to sing "reflection".(LOL). I forgot to tell her that the musical play will be in "tagalog". But she appreciated it especially when an enemy of Mulan passed by and shouted right where we were sitting(LOL). She loved the part when snow fell on stage and wanted to go on stage just to see the styropore balls falling on stage. It was really fun and we asked the actors for their autograph afterwards. It was worth it.

Going Crazy with Miyazaki and Hisaishi



I have always loved watching anime. Maybe because I love the colors, their cute faces and the 'not so violent" nature(hehe). But I started really getting into it when 7 years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to "Grave of the fireflies", it was a tragic and sad film but little did I know that I will get addicted to it. I love it especially listening to their background music. But it was only this year that I really get to see a lot of animation films. A friend of mine gave me a couple of DVDs which are from Ghibli Studios. I started watching "Spirited Away" and I fell in love with chihiro's character, then "Porco Rosso" in which I fell in love with "Gina and Marco's theme". I really love the music!! and then I also like "Castle in the Sky", "Whisper of the Heart"; I love their version of Country road, it was really cute,Howl's moving castle; this one is my favorite of al as it has a happy ending, "My neighbor Totoro", Kiki's Delivery Service and many others. One thing I have really noticed with these films is that character's movements are not boring, like, you wouldn't expect cartoon characters to trip and fall, everything was like done and have been animated in their " natural" state. Now these films wouldn't be possible without these Two people: Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi...Thanks to these two...now am addicted!!!...I searched all of youtube for their videos and I was blessed to have found a lot and I always play them whenever I want to relax, coz they relaxes me and takes my mind off of my work.
