Some Thoughts: Preferred Reading Genres

Growing up I'm so into anime. Most on top of my life, my answer will be Digimon and CardCaptor Sakura.

At teenage, I think I started to like something fantasy yet beautiful in landscape and the visual. Like Japanese or Chinese garden. Or secret garden like, with cottage and wooden fence, with flowers around. Still remember I, I even bought many garden magazines, sharing this one with my ma. She loves gardening.

As I grew older, I found myself not many changes when come to my genre choices. Be it when come to movies or books.

Before books, I always prefer to go for movies. Meaning, if I know the movie is adapted from novels, or the novel already in motion picture - I just go for the movie. Such as the Divergent franchise, The Maze Runner franchise, Harry Potter franchise, and such. And true is, I started to notice my liking in genre when come to movies. My interest in movies back then and up until seems like never change. Movie Starship Troopers, RoboCop franchise, Terminator franchise, and Alien franchise, and Predator franchise is I keep back to it. Favourite. These too inspired me in my artwork as time passed.


With CGI and technology in film making grow, so do movies and genre. Yes, I watched any of genres. Superhero, horror, thriller, movie and series.

But my favourite becomes more in a same theme - Sci-Fi to futuristic, to dystopian in its subtheme, cyberpunk and steampunk. All that in the category. Movie that fit the theme will attract my attention to go for cinema like, Ghost In The Shell, Alita: Battle Angel, latest one this year The Creator, Blade Runner 2049, Total Recall where played by Colin Farrell, Lucy, Inception, Tenet, Underwater, Interstellar, Dune Part 1 and 2, Edge Of Tomorrow, Passengers played by J. Law and Chris Pratt, In Time, A Quiet Place franchise, Mad Max Fury Road, Waterworld, Ready Player One, and so on.

As for books, it all started after watching Mortal Engines. Adapted from the same title, by author Philip Reeve.

Before, I did bought few books and comics like. Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 1, and Kingdom Hearts, which I got 2 to 3..? Other such as guide genre for cats and kittens, and identify flowers and plants, information about places with sketchy illustrations. I bought for main reason just because I love the illustration I guess? This was teenage time... But from Mortal Engines that makes me want to read, it was 2018..? Still reading the fourth book, the thickest one. And another 4 still untouched.. it will when the time comes. I hope that I will reads no matter how long is going to be..

Else than that, I think I'm into thriller or horror. But I'll talking about it in part 2 on this.

Book: Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK By Aqila Masri

I finally finished reading "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" by Aqila Masri (Overthinking But Acted OK) , published by IMAN Publication, last October. And let's see what my thoughts on this one. First of all, my view is just as from an artist, crafter and blogger, and as a reader... When this book published, to be honest I got caught by the title. I didn't plan on to get it like seriously, because I have this feeling to put aside what I can relate to the title. The word - "overthinking"... But as time past, I started to have the image of this book in mind, and it's repeating. So I feel it and said, "I need to have it" with wondering what the topics will be within. It was more like a calling from the book I could say. And early last month - September - I got it. First of all, the cover illustration - pretty. I love how the choice of the style from the artist. The work is beautiful. And give the visual to what's the book about. At the same tim...

Some Thoughts: Morning Lately

Wake up early is good, I'm not denying a bit. With the sunlight and and cool air, I feel calm in every way. These past few months and weeks, I realised that I've been trying to focus on myself. Else than enjoying my latest commission artworks for a best selling author (I'll share about it upcoming), I too enjo my time with my mom who loves dramas, gaming, and cooking. For most I think I enjoy my time watching movies, back and forth gaming The Last Of Us Part 1 and Part 2. Feel good beat up some zombies with their weapons choice. Morning wakes up does gives me some kind of feelings.. Where I feels more to my mind. And so do my my body. Mood? Cool like that. My routine every time I get up, definitely my favourite drink, Milo. With 2 plain crackers. Around 12 to 1pm where I usually plan for cooking, which these days just simple one. Even tofu can be the protein source of dish. Like I said.. On my IG story and on WP blog, I want a balance life - between whatever I have to deal ...

Some Thoughts: Journey In The Year 2024

Crazy how times flies.... For real, it feels so fast I learnt a lot, noticed a lot, and for most... I let loose a little bit more than last year... So.... I'm writing this, for the start for this posting, where I'm outside of my lil sis's new place. She's moved to new area... And I'm waiting here, while it's raining and people are going with Grab for New Year's Eve holiday or vacation... Writing this while standing up, front of guard's house... Well, my experience as blogger after years blogging. But this time rare one. I hardly get.... Maybe I'll do it again, next year? For sure. Anyway.... Back to the reality.... 2024.... A lot of great time. And for sure is, a lot of not so great ones... I still, dislike it although I know, that's what's and how's life is... But not only of the time I mean it, but for most, I caught up with moment where, for most- people. And what's it's giving me at the time, the moment.... The joy, the pain, ...
