earth princess

Let me begin the first post of this blog by saying: TAI PANAS BANGET HARI INI!!*
and that will be my cursing ratio throughout the entire post.

Then I remembered nora's favourite quote in that shrill voice of hers, "...yang penting hatinya nak...*".
Nor, it's not working... my body is not a freakin kulkas*, it can't keep my heart cold and fight off the goddamn heat seeping through every little pores on my skin (keratosis pilaris isn't helping either... yang ada pores tambah gede). So I closed shut all windows and doors to retain last night's cold air. Nice and cold!

Cooked for buka and watch the amazing Mononoke Hime!

It's absolutely breathtaking :) I just cant believe I didn't watch it sooner, seeing that I've seen Miyazaki's other works. I must say that Mononoke Hime is the best, with Spirited Away coming in close second. The forest spirit is amazing and when he transformed into the 'nightwalker', I wished there and then for me to stop being human but to be part of the painted magical forest, a part of Miyazaki's imagination. Crazy, eh? But hey it's me, I'd go to Konohagakure in a heartbeat if a secret passage to a twisted parallel universe is discovered.

I don't know why but I'm very much drawn into these kinds of movies. Battle between human and earth, technology and nature. I think I love this themes because it reminds us to sometime stop being so human: selfish and egocentric. It gives me hope that there are also things in life other than work, money and grades that are just equally or more important!

Hmm... hints of environmental message in popular culture :P
I guess that means that I have to start following imo's very good habit of separating my sampah. At least I took my greenbags with me when I go to Coles and harrased sales people to not put items I just bought into a plastic bag. It's a good start. After that I'm ready for my MOKUTON JUTSU and at last I'll be a complete and official earth princess.

Love your Earth!

music: Heroes come back -nobodyknows+ and the sound of nora laughing to the TV set.
mood: happy, magical, albeit a tad kepanasan.

*"...yang penting hatinya, nak": child, its your heart that matters
