[Review] Naruto: Road to Ninja

Road to Ninja movie poster.
I missed the first ten minutes of this movie because I attended the 2013 Ozine Fest! It is not my first time to be late in a cinema but I regretted it. I mean, Naruto, one of my favorite anime, is showing in the big screen! How could I have been late?

 This movie is still in anime format. The language is in Japanese but the subtitles are big enough to read on the big screen. We follow the Naruto Shippuden arc where the hero, Naruto, is all mature. The plot of Road to Ninja is independent of the series. But seeing this movie will give you a deeper perspective of Naruto's character and history. 

 Road to Ninja is about Naruto (of course) who suddenly encounters Madara. The villain uses his Sharingan to trap Naruto and Sakura in a world of illusion that he created. Now our heroes need to find their way out. However, Madara has a hidden ulterior motive that will put them to the test. 

 This movie balances comedy and drama. Thus, it will take you to a roller coaster ride of emotions. The humor will make you laugh your heart out. But when the sad situations start to kick in, you will hold back tears, or even cry. Furthermore, this movie presented extraordinary action scenes and continuous twists. Just when you thought everything is fine, another adversity appears... then another and another. Add the surprise element to that!

 Character development focuses a little on Sakura and more on Naruto. For those who don't follow the series regularly, this movie is a big help. It gave an in depth understanding of Sakura and Naruto's attitudes and life stories. 

 The sounds, animation, and character design stays true to the manga version. There is still the lighting-like sound of rasengan, or the clanging sounds of kunai and shuriken! The mangaka/creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, has been active in the development of this movie after all. Because of that, Road to Ninja didn't disappoint fans. 

The run time of this movie is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. You should watch this! It is worth your time and money! Oh! Make sure you come on time... I think the first 10 minutes was full of action scenes! And I missed that! Argh~~

 Ratings:
Movie Poster: 5 stars (even the poster tells the summary of the movie in one go! Bravo!)
Sounds: 5 stars
Animation: 5 stars
Plot: 5 stars
Overall: 5 STARS

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too.

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
