Studio Ghibli: Whisper of the Heart

I like Studio Ghibli's works. So I'm sharing this anime.

Whisper of the Heart

It's about Shizuku Tsukishima, a ordinary junior high school students who loves book and literature. Until she met Seiji Amasawa. Seiji told Shizuku that his dream is to become a master luthier. But When Seiji's parents allow him to go to Cremona to study, she felt that she is not good enough for Seiji. So, she decided to test her talent in writing. In the end of the story then both find what they want in life and decided to do their best to fulfill their dreams.

I'm not a spoiler, so hope you watch the anime and discover how wonderful the story is.

This is my fave part, when Seiji asks Shizuku to sing as he play the violin. This song makes my heart happy.

a Birthday Tribute to my Mom

Being a manager, I can handle it all except handling my own family.  My family is my weakness yet they are my strength. My mother taught me well.  Even though I didn't knew what is "woman empowerment" back then, I knew that I am an empowered woman because of her. When I was at my limit, my mom was the first person who told me how to live.  I am free.

My first thought of my mom was she is wonder woman.  She was a career person at the same time a mother.  By 6pm then, my mom made sure that she is home just to watch "ghost fighter" series with us.  She was there in all occasions despite of the business and field works at the office.  She was in my sister's PTA meetings, my ahya's basketball games, my shoti's wushu exhibitions, and in my singing engagements. 

My mom taught me how to talk diplomatically.  What's this and that.  She stands firm. She is strong.

And despite all of this, she is still a WOMAN, fine and gentle.
