For Setsuko & Her Brother

I made a poetry for you, Setsuko. 
--- You could sleep now, Setsuko. 

You are armored with bad and beautiful memories 
And then you became a warrior. 
So don't cry, Seita is coming for you. 
Don't be afraid, We built a sanctuary inside your heart. 
Please, don't forget to explore and live with it. 

Remember the fireflies?
That there was a night they gave us hope
At the same time, troubles. 
Because during that war 
The lights coming from above 
Are bigger and brighter, yet dangerous. 
So we see hope from the small ones 
That one day our dreams would become magical like the fireflies. 

And then you never woke up from that dream. 
I didn't know it was your endless good night, Setsuko. 

You could wake up now. 
You could wake up now. 
Wake up, Setsuko. 

This film was introduced to me and made an impact in my life. If you have time, please do watch this Japanese animated film: GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES. It's worth it!

In the year 2027 at Kyoto, a high school student named Naomi Katagaki ( Takumi Kitamura ) struggles with the timeless straight-boy dilemma of approaching girls. One day a crow steals Naomi's book, forcing him to give it a chase until eventually ending up at the Fushimi Inari Shrine. Suddenly, a man appears out of nowhere before him! The suave dude turns out to be a grown-up version of Naomi from 10 years into the future. Adult Naomi ( Tori Matsuzaka ) has traveled back in time to coach his young

Words #2 - Idolo

Been a weird life but the strangest feeling I ever get from people is when I tell them about my greatest idol in life.  Short story made long, every time I've had to write an essay on "your idol in life" or "your role model" I've written one name everywhere, and have been unfortunately called a lunatic and frequently been laughed at.  However, I've failed to realize why do they laugh. I found nothing wrong in idolizing someone who right from his birth didn't find the shelter of mom and dad over him. Even as a kid of 12 he was hated, underestimated and treated as a hateful burden every where he went. He wept all his childhood in loneliness, ran all around his town amidst all the curses people would throw at him. He had no friends, initially. In brief, there was no possible light in his life.  Now here comes the part where I tell you why I love this guy so freaking much.  Regardless of what life had put him through, this silly kid of 12 never gave up.
