10 promises to my dog, now showing in cinemas.

Inspired by a Hare Kawaguchi novel, Inu to Watashi no 10 no Yakusoku (10 Promises to My Dog) tells the story of a girl (Rena Tanaka) and her relationship with her dog "Socks" who she's had since it was a puppy.
A 12-year-old girl named Akari gets a puppy and names it Socks. She loves Socks and spends practically every moment with him. However, as she gets older she's able to spend less and less time with him, due to a busy life and having to move away. She leaves socks with a childhood friend but eventually she's reminded of the 10 promises she made with Socks (and her mother) as a child.

The 10 promises:
1. Please enjoy your life with me.
2. Place your trust in me. It's crucial to my well-being.
3. Please never forget I have my own feelings.
4. When I don't want to do what you want, I have a reason.
5. Talk to me a lot. Even if I don't understand your words,I understand you.
6. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of you but that I choose not to bite you.
7. Take care of me when I get old.
8. You have your school and your friends. I have only you.
9. My life is likely to last about ten years. Please try to find time staying with me as much as you can.
10. When I'm passing away, please be with me. And, remember that I love you.

Akari and Socks.

Movie review credited to http://ctv.sg/html_reviews/reviews_socks.html
(I'm too lazy to do one :x )

As for kindness and love, which proceed out of a heart of hope; the endearing love that goes on and on; the analogies of life and death, hope and progress, as presented by the characters; the familial ties that bind closely and heal the afflicted -- 10 Promises to my dog is simply amazing. Katsuhide Motoki does an excellent job pulling tears with this wonderfully touching story of a schoolgirl and her pet dog, Socks.
10 Promises to my Dog isn't just a movie about a girl and her pet. It is a journey of two best friends, and how their lives intertwine in such a beautiful and mysterious way. It makes us take a step back and reflect on our daily lives. It shows us how often we take things around us for granted, day after day, and how we sometimes sacrifice family and friends for what we want; only realizing what's truly important when its usually too late.
As Socks nears the end of her life, the protagonist struggles with her life issues, and so does the people close around her. She and her father bid farewell to their faithful companion through the years, Socks. The dog, passing into an eternity with the protagonist's mother, forms a chord of finality in the movie.
For pet owners, this is an excellent wake up call if you haven't been treating your pet as it should be, with the best of your efforts. And for those of you without a furry companion, 10 Promises to my dog is just as applicable to you. Treasure every moment with your friends and family, and don't ever neglect them because you never know when they might leave you.
A real tear jerker, this movie combines touching dialogue with beautiful music, and is guaranteed to melt even the coldest of hearts. I must mention that his movie made me cry like a baby. For a whole 10 minutes. And any movie that can do something like that deserves a full 5 stars.

Down Lately

I been feeling real sad lately. Idk why but I feel like crying -.-
Ytd night's dream was really scary. It scared me till i dint cry. Its like, scared till beyond the point where you dare to cry, get it? (If you dont, its okay anyways.)
Dreamt that my friend was sick for a very short time and everyone thought that she will be okay. Even the doctors said so, but eventually she passed away in like.. 2 days?! Then comes the funeral.. I was so stunned in the dream that all I could do was to feel real scared. In the dream, the friend of mine is my pri school friend, lost contact alr. I was so afraid that I couldn't contact her ever again. then, shorty after meeting her, she passed away. Evtg was so sudden. Scared me till I couldn't even cry. Scary, I say. Was still scared of it while going to church this morning &Rebecca keep telling me that I'm a silly girl. Maybe I'm really silly. D:

I'm very scared of alot of things lately. Like those problems that some of you know (I'm not posting them here cos I dont want the whole world to know, like duh). I just feel very down like every moment.

Went to town after lunch wuth parents to buy smth and shopping. No shopping mood and I was just acting happy in front of my parents cos I dont want them to worry. I dont want to say anything that will worry them and I cant make myself to say them. I just feel really down lorhs. Am I thinking too much? Am I really thinking too much? R-E-A-L-L-Y?

Ate lunch with Rebecca, Samantha, Huifang, Jeremiah and Collin at ljs after service. Discussed smth that shldn't let other people know and that made me feel sad and worried. Tsk ):
I still feel sad now. ARGHS!
