"Peter Pan" or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up

Lately i have been relating everything that is going on in my life to Peter Pan belief in not wanting to grow up.

he did not want to grow up because he knew how reality is cruel and boring. therefore Neverland existed, it was a place where adventures were created and time was absent.

the story of Peter Pan was created by J. M. Barrie

Never wanting to grow up is what i need right now. because as time pass i see myself growing and becoming engaged in this world of adults, miserable adults.

all i see is pointless chatter.

I agree with wendy regarding to the fact she refused to go to Neverland with Peter, it is true, we cannot escape from our fate, we were meant to go through this harsh reality and going to Neverland won't make it any better.

but have you ever felt sick and tired? because am starting to feel this way all the time.

share you comments down below ^v^

The Clock - Whisper Of The Heart - Studio Ghibli

FYI am a big-huge fan of Studio Ghibli and i love Hayao Miyazaki work/manga/animation.

so today i will tell you about something i love in my favorite (not in order) Studio Ghibli film

Whisper Of the Heart.

there is a clock in the old man's shop that i admired. i mean if it was real, i would buy it in no hesitation.

the best thing is that there is a story behind it, that what made it captivating.






He switched on by rolling this thingy (i dont know what its name comment below if you know)




he installed the piece (which is the Prince of the Dwarfs)



the Dwarfs start to work and the clock plays a nice melody at the beginning (this only happens when the clock says its midnight)


then the Prince of the Dwarfs appears, and he looks at her (The Fairy)






but... (read in the picture below).





-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is why i love Whisper of the Heart, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.

its sad and amazing and i can only be in love with this. i would love to write a story about it in the future. however i think i have read the prologue long time ago and i will find it and post it in my blog.

ملكة الثلج - The Snow Queen

When i was a kid there was this animation series, called "حكايات عالمية" "Hekayat Aalamiyah" and in every episode there was a new fairytale.

i dont really remember anything about it but i loved the story "ملكة الثلج" "The Snow Queen"

it was amazing and it lived in my little childish mind. next thing is that i buy the Children Book version of it published by "كلمة للترجمة" "Kalima





You can read the original plot from Wiki

it has been adapted in many tvshows and animations but i hope there will be a good short movie about it.

i found this link to Goodreads in arabic (its a different book from the one i have)
and i found a link to in English   and also this is a page with all the 108 editions here.

This faitytale was written by Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875)  and he also wrote most famous fairytales.

قرأت النسخة العربية في هذا الكتاب 



تجمع هذه السلسلة تراث الشعوب من الحكايات والأساطير والخرافات الشعبية، وتتوزع الحكايات على"72" كتابا حيث جرى اختيارها من كتب أنجزها علماء أنثروبولوجيا بارزون في نهايات القرن التاسع عشر والربع الأول من القرن العشرين في ذروة صعود علم الأنثروبولوجيا عندما دأب عدد كبير من العلماء على استكشاف ميراث الشعوب وتسجيل وتوثيق حكاياتهم قبل أن تضيع. تتضمن هذه الكتب الحكايات من دول أوروبية وآسيوية وأميركية وأفريقية وغيرها .
وتهدف السلسلة إلى مد جسور التواصل بين شعوب الأرض وحضاراتها، وتعزيز العمق الثقافي الجامع بين مختلف الأعراق والجنسيات والثقافات، وجمعها تحت سقف واحد، هو سقف الثقافة والمعرفة والكلمة التي تجمع ولا تفرق، لتؤكد أن ما اصطلحت البشرية على تسميته "عولمة" منذ عقدين من الزمان والنيف، كان متحققًا بالفعل منذ مئات بل آلاف السنين.
