Flashbacks from my childhood memories will always include these… (I actually started out with a long list but finally narrowed down my selection to these)
These are the cartoons that I now seldom see and I wouldn't mind watching them over again.
- Tigersharks
I used to watch
this particular cartoon at 4pm everyday.
It was about a group of humans who do missions in a ship named SARK and
uses a fish tank housed within the ship to transform themselves into aquatic
creatures. My favorite was Mako and
Walro. The setting was in a fictional place called Water-O which was overrun
at that time by an evil overlord name T-Ray.
- The Flying House
"Professor Bumble has fumbled again!"
- Superbook
While seeking refuge from the rain, Justin and his friends Angie and Corkey stumbled upon the house of Prof. Bumble whose house was a time machine. They travelled back in time living through the events in the New Testament, hoping one day they could get back to the present. I used to watch this at around 10am during summer vacation.
Of course, I can't mention The Flying House and skip Superbook. Superbook was made alongside The Flying House and it took Christopher, Joy and Gizmo through the events from the Old Testament.
- Mr. Bogus
"He's wild, He's cool, he's Bogus!"
He was a yellow-gremlin like creature living in the walls of Tommy Anybody usually causing mischief and chaos in his own world. Heck, he was entertaining anyway.
- Sailormoon
"I am Sailor Moon! I stand for love. And I also stand for justice. And in the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"
I remember this anime very well. I used to have a sketch pad full of sketches drawing the main characters. Hmmm I wonder what happened to it? The story mostly is of a normal high school girl who was found one day by a talking cat named Luna. The story goes on to progress revealing her past life and her destiny. She is joined by allies named after the planets of the solar system, namely Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus. This anime is very complex and very diverse, spinning several sequels and musical adaptations.
- Jem and the Holograms
I
like my girly cartoons. I loved the sassy costumes, the outrageous
make-up and fantastic sets! Although this cartoon was short-lived, I
enjoyed the Holograms battle it out with the Misfits.
- The Carebears
"Carebears countdown…54321"
Who would believe that these cute bears started out just as characters for greeting cards? Well that's what American Greetings did. Each cuddly bear sports an insignia on their tummy which shows what personality they have and what duty they have to perform. The main duty of the bears was to protect Care-a-lot and monitor the Caring Meter. Whenever the Caring Meter goes down, Care-a-lot suffers a series of thunderstorms and the aura of cartoons become grayish and gloomy especially when villains like Professor Coldheart and the Wizard No Heart manifest their powers. If the Caring Meter reaches zero, Care-a-lot will be gone forever. Fortunately the carebears were always there to save the day.
- The Smurfs
"Smurftastic!"
- She-Ra: Princess of Power
We love these little guys don't we??? These little critters look alike sporting the same white pants, blue skin, a white cap and short tail stubs. They love to eat smilax leaves and smurfberries. To identify one smurf from another, they usually brandish an accessory depicting a trait or profession. They live in houses made from mushrooms and are generally fun-loving and adventure seeking creatures except when Gargamel threatens to interrupt their carefree lifestyle. Gargamel is the Smurfs' sworn enemy. He is an evil wizard who usually plots to capture one of the smurfs in order for him to make a potion that can make gold.
"By the power of grayskull…I am She-Ra!"
Thus Princess Adora transforms into the heroine, She-Ra by wielding the magic sword: the Sword of Protection above her head and utters the words above. She's part of a group of rebels who vowed to free the land of Eternia from the evil rule of Hordak and Horde Prime. She is also the twin sister of Prince Adam who is also known as He-man. She possesses superhuman strength and agility when transformed, as well as a healing touch and telepathic communication with animals. One of the main allies of She-Ra is her horse Spirit. When Adora transforms, so does Spirit. Spirit becomes a unicorn named Swift Wind and gains the ability to speak. Primarily the difference between both the animated series of She-Ra and He-man is while the storyline of He-man tends to be more of a mix of science and technology, She-Ra's storyline has an approach gearing towards fantasy and sorcery. As an added plus, throughout each and every episode, a very colorful character is carefully drawn into the background for the children to find. The character's name is Loo-Kee. At the end of each show, a cut scene is shown to show his hiding place.
- He-Man: The Most Powerful Man in the Universe
"By the power of grayskull…I have the power!"
Much like Princess Adora, Prince Adam utters these words and transforms himself into He-Man with the help of his Power Sword and Castle Grayskull. He has a cowardly green tiger named Cringer who transforms into Battle Cat. Like She-Ra, Prince Adam protects Eternia from the evil hordes of Skeletor, the main villain of the series. One of the most loved characters of the show is Orko, He-Man's man-at-arms. He-Man's variety of powers include superhuman strength, super breath, ability to become a human tornado and speed.
It was fun when He-man and She-ra often crossed over and had storylines tagged along with each other.
- Beavis & Butthead
Last but not least, I remember staying up late each night waiting for this show to come on MTV. Kinda miss these duo converse sarcastically about the world and voicing out their fantasies. I even remember playing their video game.
Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it?
Fortunately for me, this hasn't happened yet and even if something did, I am always willing to forgive. For me to be able to forgive that person, I have to understand him or her. There were several instances in my past when I have been betrayed by a friend or by somebody I love and after the pain has gone away, I begin to understand the reason behind their actions. I'm not the type of person who holds grudges.
Late this afternoon I was browsing for towel pics for my 3d rendering and I came across these great pics of towel art and I found them very creative and very nice. I never knew there was such thing. I know of origami, but towel-folding?

What was your first car?
Show us a picture of the pet you'd most like to have in your life.
I checked out the product link and yeah they sell it at Swell. The slippers are designed in a way that they have a small vacuum sealed space on the heel, this is where you store your liquid drink. I mean no offense to the designer or design team who cooked this idea up but I really hope they put their creative efforts to much more important use.
For now all they have are slippers for men, they don't have any designs out yet for the ladies. But would you seriously want one?
Last week was probably the most hectic schedule I had to tackle for my work as a senior designer in a firm and as a freelance designer, or so I thought. Yesterday I've been given deadlines for next week and boy I have to achieve the impossible for this one. I have 3 deadlines, all for different projects and all with major requirements. To top it off, I still have a whopper of a load for my freelance project. Gosh. This is bad. I have to spend very late hours staying up trying to finish them. It's already Thursday and I'm nowhere finished with even one. I can't wait for next week when all this is over. Maybe then I can get a vacation or a break. Maybe...
Which yet-to-be-released movie are you excited to see?
For now, I am most excited to see Ironman. I am not a big ironman fan and I don't have an inkling of the background story from the comic. A close friend told me that he was disappointed with the teaser of the movie because from it you've pretty much glimpsed what the movie is all about. (and he was a big fan) Well, we'll see. I might enjoy it nevertheless. I'll post my review once I get to watch it.
It's now official, come midnight I will start a new chapter of my life. t's something that has been on the back of my head for a while now and it's been brewing for quite some time. When I wake up tomorrow, it'll be the start of a new me. Well not really that different from who I am but hopefully a much better and improved one. I have delayed doing it and well I think it's the right time for me to finally take the big jump. Well, here's a toast to my new life. Cheers!
