I found Studio Ghibli Animes..

I bought an Anime set "The Great Collection, Studio Ghibli present 2" today, what a coincidence, as my intension originally to The Curve was just to get some clothes before I go back to Aussie. I'm glad I bought this collection sets, which consists of 8 animes that I havent have. I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli Anime, I have stated to collect the animes few years ago, now I have more than 30 animes by Studio Ghibli. Since I was small, I have watched so many Studio Ghibli Animes, and it was really inspiring, provoking and cultivating; I had so much of imagination about the characters and scenes in the films. The animes by Studio Ghibli are always the high standard work: touching story line+ lively drawing skills+ true humane morales+ fantastic soundtrack..

I like the human values expressed through the animes, especially the morales of friendship, love of family, love of nature and so fourth...

UTAS studio life.........my studio is on the top floor, the double volume space given me the oppurtunity to "survey" the 1st year studio at ground floor for lovely ladies...

I have....Hypertension

Finally i wrote a blog......after my doctor said my blood pressure was higher than it should be. He asked me, "you're just 24, your blood pressure shouldn't be that high, does your family members have high blood pressure? You should learn some ways to release your stress...24 year-old youngster shouldn't has high blood pressure...." "Is it because of my weight?" I pointed on my belly and asked the doctor. " Weight could cause Hypertension, but you're just 24, it's probably came from your family....try not to put yourself too hard.."said the young doctor.

Yeah, my mom just found out recently she has high blood pressure while the relatives on my father side also has the history of heart-attack. Starting from today I have to take a half heart-shaped tablet in every morning.

Cool...I have Hypertension after 24-years living on this planet...when I still struggling for my dreams....when i still own nothing...when I still single... and when I applying my Australian Visas for my Master Degree...

At that moment I felt so alone.....many things that happened before flashing on my mind, I started to missing my friends, my mom, my dad...

I called Miimo and Liyan for lunch, however Miimo didn't answer the phone, she was probably still sleeping. Therefore I had lunch with Liyan alone and I told her about my situation. Just like usual, she told me not to worry....bla bla bla....actually I just need a person to accompany me and listen to what I said, I should really thanks Liyan for that..
