Monsters University

We often associate cartoons with kids. Nowadays, movie makers have started creating cartoon movies that also allow adults to enjoy it. Movies like Ice Age, Monsters Inc, Madagascar, Toy Story, Brave are examples that there are things that kids and adults can enjoy together.

                Speaking of cartoons, my family watched Monsters University yesterday at home. My five month old even reacted to some of the scenes in the movie. We just let him watch with us and when he seems bored, we just carry him or play with him while watching.

                Monsters University tells the story of how Sully and Mike became the best of friends. They started out as enemies when they were in college but being both kicked out in the scare program brought them together. Together, they beat out all odds and won the game. However, the story did not end there. There were still revealing issues after the game that tested their friendship. Both of them realized that they both brought out the best in each other.


                Cartoons are not just for kids. If we look at the story, no matter how simple it is, we can learn something and can apply it in our lives as well.

Movies and Lockers

The movies I liked to watch growing up usually revolved around teens coping up with school and the pressures of being accepted. Somehow, their life seem much more exciting compared to my usual routine of waking up, going to school, and going home. My life was so much simpler then. I remember watching those movies and wishing that my school had the same atmosphere as those in the big screen. I used to dream of having my own locker in school. It would have been so convenient. Back in high school, I carried around ten books and I had to bring it everyday. Life then would have been much easier if school lockers were provided.

Now that I am working, I am still wishing the same thing. How I wish our company provides lockers for work. It would be so nice to have a storage area wherein I can put my personal stuff like toiletries, utensils, and extra clothes. Sometimes, going back home to get some stuff takes so much time. Oh well, movies can really give us ideas.
