No. 2 - Doremon of my childhood

Persepolis reminds me of childhood.

Doremon and Nobita was my favortite comic book when I was a child. It is a series of short stories about Doremon, a cat robot from 23th century with a lot of magic tools that can turn impossible things into possible, like the time machine that can help Doremon and other characters get back to the past.

One interesting about Doremon is that he is scared of mice.

There are five main characters: Doraemon, Nobita, Xuka, Chaien and Xeko
I have not explained why I mention my favorite childhood comics. When I read the articel about words and pictures, I have learned some interesting facts about the balance and relationship between words and pictures in comics. Some popular combinations are: word specific, picture specific, duo specific, additive, parallel, montage, independent.

In Doremon, the author used multiple types of comic writing as listed above, this is one of the reasons why Doremon has been attracting readers from all ages. 

Good girl: Even though I am grown up now, Doremon is still very interesting to me. 

Bad girl: Why is that? 

Good girl: When reading it, I leave all the pressure behind me, I feel like I am living in my happy childhood without any worries, fears, sorrow. 

Bad girl: Reality is still reality. You had better embrace it. 

Good girl: I definitely get it. I just need a break for my mind. 

Bad girl: Ok, that is fine. Sometimes we have to believe the power of pause. Becoming more by doing less. 

P/S: one of the episodes with English subtitle. Enjoy it. :) 

No. 1 - The hidden side of me

Being absent in 1A class is never my voluntary choice. Every Tuesday and Thursday, coming to class is enjoyment. My teacher makes everyone want to attend every single class she lectures. Now, I believe one of the comments about her is true, she is one of the best teachers on campus. Age does not have any influence on her energy and enthusiasm for teaching, instead, it makes her lectures more lively and experiential.

The first task we had to do with blog was to choose an avatar and that avatar will consistently appears in every single blog we write with the same or reverse opinions.

I found this very fascinating since I was given a chance to express who I truly am, the person that not many people know about.

Does this confession make you surprised? 

And bad girl is my avatar.

The first discussion we have is about my absence last Thursday.

Good girl: I felt so guilty for being absent last Thursday.

Bad girl: You already did it.

Good girl: I know, I promise this is my first and also last time. The teacher is really knowlegeble, I have learned a lot.

Bad girl: That is good to know. And by the way, for things you already did, it is better not to feel guilty, since they were all your choices.

P/S: Purple stands for Childishness and Red stands for Hunger.
