Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects is one of my favourite shows to watch and one of my favourite books to read. I recommend this show to anyone who's into beautiful show sceneries flawed by well-written storyline. The soundtrack from the show is also a playlist of good music. I bought the novel from Kinokuniya, and it was a fantastic read.

I love the way the director portrayed the storyline from Camille Preaker's point of view. Her lifestyle is normal (apart from her cutting herself all over her body) but is also interesting to watch. The show is also aesthetic by itself. And I would never have imagined that the show ended with such a plot twist. Gillian Flynn really did a good job writing the story.

Cardcaptor Sakura

Hey-hey-hoo! This time I'm going to write about the best anime show that I watched, Cardcaptor Sakura. I'm truly inspired by the Clamp's creativity in making such amazing manga/anime about the adventures of Sakura Kinomoto as a cardcaptor. Being a cardcaptor, Sakura had to go through all kinds of obstacles and challenges just to get back all the cards that she had accidentally set off in the first episode. To me, Sakura is really lucky for being able to experience the life as a cardcaptor, as it is very interesting. And moreover, I longed to live just like those Japanese kids featured in the show, too; albeit that I'm not sure if it's the same for Japanese youngsters in real life.

The Amazing World of Gumball Watterson

I always love watching The Amazing World of Gumball. Unlike other cartoons, this show features real life incidents, but sometimes it just gets sort of ridiculous, but funny. Each episode is given a short title, like 'The Helmet' and 'The Secret', and I think it's cool that the creators used these kind of titles, it's just sort of a straight-to-the-point way of defining & expressing the overall episode. The fact that the creators combine realistic background views with cartoonic characters and objects is just brilliant. And I love the graphics and animations for having intense and various colours and combinations. So of course I'll recommend this show to everyone! =)

and great deeds are very important to him

Merlin, Merlin, Merlin;
What do you do for living?
You told me you've been
working as His servant,
polishing Arthur's armour.
But from what I've seen,
you did greater things.
For countless times
you saved His soul
from misery and danger,
without His consent.

Merlin, Merlin, Merlin;
you've grown so old
but still full of strength.
You taught dear Wart
worthwhile education.
You knew He will soon
be the king that will
rule a mighty kingdom.
and You told yourself
that you will aid Him
in becoming the king,
the way He ought to be.

haha, do you like it? It took me some time to finish this poem. The Adventures of Merlin is a good and hilarious show to watch, while Sword in the Stone is inspirational and serves as the reminiscence of the old times. Too bad that I'm not familiar with Arthurian legends, as it will be a good way of learning about Merlin.
