The Little Mermaid

April 21, 2009

At last, I wasnt loosing my mind after all, When I saw disney’s version of the little mermaid (ariel) back in the 90’s it kinda confused me with something else. I knew I ‘ve seen the little mermaid before but from what I remembered it didnt turn out well for the mermaid at all, I remember my lola, she didnt want me to watch it eventhough it was a cartoon, she knew I’d be devastated with the story and I’d cry at sad endings, heck I even cried watching Dumbo; when I saw the scene where they kept Dumbo’s mom in a cage and dumbo went to see her, the scene where Dumbo’s mom cradled him using her trunk kept me weeping through out the film.

Anyway back to the little mermaid, It was already late at night and if I remembered correctly the little mermaid was aired on TV. I was Up at our doble deck and I had a peek on the televison and ended up watching the whole thing. I dint cry at all, I dint want to get busted and kneel on salt for staying up late like that (LOL!) but it sure gave me nightmares for not crying it out ( hahaha! ). I really thought of that story and wished it had a different ending. As I went on my childhood I eventually forgot about the sad story, then The Little Mermaid (arial’s edition) came out and somehow I wasnt quite convinced with the new story. The old version came rushing to me and how that story really ended and it still pinches my heart ; but since it was years back when I saw it, I wasnt even sure if I did really see it, I started questioning myself and wondered if I made that sad version of the story up HAHAHA. I even asked friends with my same age if they’ve seen the first version where the mermaid dies but no one seemed to know what I was talking about, I had doubts about myself after and thought I was just imagining stories ~~~grrrrr X(.

But hey, turns out I wasnt a nut case after all hahaha….Thanx to youtube! I watched the film all over again and now I can peacefully say, ” I knew it, I wasnt loosing my mind after all :p! ” Heres the film for those who haven’t seen it…Enjoy

I'm kind of a laid-back person and I dont really believe in getting things the hard way. I mean if there's a better or easier way to get things done, why go through all the hoops?

Timing is everything, I don't rush things if the timing's not right, but when I have all the means to get something done I do it right away and finish it as soon as possible.

I'm not a morning person. I find my self hyper at night and drag myself to do stuff in the days. I like to do things in my own time; I hate pressure.

I've been working in japan since 2001, My japanese was good back then; Now that I've been living here since 2004 unemployed, I've been isolated with everybody else I know, beacuse of that I speak Japanese like a retarded 3 year old.

I find it hard to trust people, that's why I end up doing things all by myself and it is really exhausting. I hate this about myself.

Good Morning?

I woke early one morning The earth lay cool and still When suddenly a tiny bird Perched on my window sill, He sang a song so lovely So carefree and so gay, That slowly all my troubles Began to slip away He sang of far off places Of laughter and of fun, It seemed his very thrilling, brought up the morning sun. I stirred beneath the covers Crept slowly out of bed, Then gently shut the window And crushed his fucking head....I'm not a morning person.
