Identity
Ever since I was born, I am the same person I’ve always been. Even before my birth, I was a character that has lived multiple lifetimes. I’ve lived numerous lives paved with daunting hardships. I knew true love and unconditional friendships. Although my overall look has never really changed from the green-eyed and brown-haired boy, I was alternately a small kid or a young man on a journey across time and space.

The Sorrows of the Old Reader
The anticipation I’ve recently been reading the novel The Sorrows of Young Werther written by Goethe in the XVIII th century. What’s interesting to know is that the story is directly based on the author’s own experience, it was written shortly after the events described in the novel. The novel is a series of letters which the narrator sends to a mysterious friend. The friend’s replies remain unknown throughout the whole story.

A Mansion full of Gags
How is that a most beautiful young woman lives in an evil mansion known for hosting unspeakable monsters? This question, sir, is not the one I will answer. Instead, I’ll answer why you should pack you bags and move into that mansion full of monsters as soon as possible.
Story 5/10 There isn’t really a story per se because Magetsukan Kitan is a succession of small episodes which are funny for the most part.

Introduction Is the weather essential in building human relationships? As a child, I used to rejoice when going for a walk when the weather was rainy. But as I grew up, I started to prefer when the weather was ’nice’. How is it that the weather being ’nice’ means to be sunny in a deep blue sky for the majority of people. This mere personal experience had me wonder for years whether people liking a sunny weather better was due to social upbringing or whether humans naturally yearned for a walk under the green wood during a sunny afternoon in May with some friendly company.

It's just a game
Recently I watched the movie “Never Let Me Go” directed by Mark Romanek, starring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Nightley. I don’t remember why I chose this movie specifically. Maybe it was because it was suggested on the recommendation bar of a certain website. I already new the outline of the movie before watching for two reasons. First, the movie was adapted from the famous eponym novel from Kazuo Ishiguro (who later was awarded the nobel prize of literature).
