Little Mermaid (A Book, Cartoon and Film Comparison)

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Look at this stuff, isn’t neat… Oh yeah, that song, we all know that. And this is one of the most famous Disney fairytales which has now been remade into a live action movie, meaning, there’s a real life girl playing as a Little Mermaid, Ariel. If you’re a 80s-90s baby, you’ll appreciate the fact that technology has its ways to make your favorite cartoons come to life, and as impossible as it was when you were a kid, now, you can just imagine yourself being that girl, but this time, seeing it as a real human not a cartoon character. We’ve watched, Mulan, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, and Aurora in live action films and this time, we’ve got ourselves the opportunity to witness Ariel coming into life.

For this who don’t know, Little Mermaid was written by Hans Christian Anderson in 1870 which became a cartoon story made by Disney in the late 80s. From then and there we got all the dish about Little Mermaid and being the only mermaid as a Disney princess, she is definitely became one of the favorites.

The book and the cartoon, however constructs a different story. The cartoon, was made for kids but the book was made for Fantasy seekers and not for fainted hearts. I believe I not need Andy versions on where I compare the two but, I’d be happy to include this before I even review the live action movie of the Little Mermaid. So let’s start.

For those who never read nor watch any of the Little Mermaid versions, please do so, at least one of those available so you will understand where I’m actually coming from. Before you click/scroll more, this will be my official disclaimer.

Beautiful Disaster: Is It Really? (A Moview)

Rating: 2 out of 5.

Well, all my readers know that aside from how good I am at comparison articles, I really love reading and that means, I have watched tons of movies that were adapted actual books, I know it is not new to this site but I should let the readers know. I take comparison from comics to reel or books to reel seriously and I mean seriously, like this new movie that was released, it is actually adapted from one of the greatest books that I have read of all time.

I’m talking about Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, It’s a series and there are other books that will justify the sequel. This 2023, movie world has decided to make it a live action movie rather than sitting in the bookshelf of those who read it since it became famous in 2011. Directed by Roger Kumble, same director for the After series, he is actually making the famous romance books true to life.

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: A Movie Review (Moview)

“It’s not like in the movies. It’s better, because it’s real.” ― Jenny Han, To all the boys I’ve loved before.

Last August 17, 2018, Netflix has released the movie version of the book written by Jenny Han entitled To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and every one is taking their last breath, like I would know because I have a lot of opinion about it.

To all the bookworms who’ve read the three book series of TATBILB, this movie is probably your sweet escape to reality after getting lost with the sweet words written in those masterpieces. I mean, right now, the movie is the closest thing you have with the books.

And beware to all the non readers and those who haven’t seen the movie, this is not for you…please read at your own risk… Continue reading “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: A Movie Review (Moview)”

The Beginning of a Big Dream… My first novel: CHAPTERS

Yes. The first ever book I actually wrote.

How Did It All Start?

After I graduated from college, I was in the middle of a postgrad situation. I don’t have any idea on where to land exactly after years of flying. I mean, all of my classmates are already working while I’m just sitting inside my apartment doing nothing.

I tried applying to different companies but no one actually had the interest on hiring a fresh graduate that time, although there were also companies who welcomed me their warm-hearts but I’m the one refusing them because of two reasons: the salary and the work itself. I’m too picky and too careful on accepting contracts that’s why I ended up with nothing.

I became a freelance assistant researcher, helped some of my friends with their thesis and later on became a Corporate Strategist. I did some projects that are way beyond my capacity. Read books about business and management and also studied the whole market. It was an obvious win-win situation for me because not only that I earn money but I’m also learning so many things while researching.

I became a management consultant and did some of the strategy works behind a big company and yes, I was able to make money out of it. I work with my projects only 2 days in a week that’s why I have so many free times to spend and to waste. Continue reading “The Beginning of a Big Dream… My first novel: CHAPTERS”

Goodbye, 21.

“I’ve been stepping into the staircase with my naked imagination that at the end of that path, there’s something waiting for me, just like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.”-RJQ

Twenty-one years old. I was 21 years old just last August 1st and now, I’m 22—turned 22 on the 2nd day of August 2014—too much ‘number 2’ I say—and so I’ve been told.

I’m not a special or what, but here’s the thing, I didn’t know I was actually 21 until I celebrated my birthday last Aug. 2, weird eh? Not for me.

Last year—August 2013—was not a good start for me, it was the worst way to start my birth month. There were some circumstances that suddenly blasted in front of my eyes but I will never mention them anymore because past is always a thing that you should left behind.

Do you want to know what am I actually been doing when I was 21? Well, here we go. Continue reading “Goodbye, 21.”
