It's been a very long time since I posted, well there has been a lot of things happening last month so I tended not to post anything.
But now I'm back :D Merry Christmas to everyone who is reading my blog at the moment. I wish you joy and happiness. Santa Claus is setting off within 5 days so I should get ready and prepare milk and cookies for him. Also it has been a lovely time spending time with friends and family, sharing gifts and decorating the halls. It is Christmas, A special time which friends and family gather themselves and have a nice meal. I mean, even you're my enemy, I will still get you a card and a present because Christmas is all about love and sharing. not being hatred all the time. Couldn't believe that Star Wars was such a trend this year, just like Frozen last year.
As you guys might have been aware what happened to me recently. I know that, It's very hard to recover from depression. I'd hope to recover as soon as possible. Thanks for your supports by the way.
I'm off to Paris for a few days, to relax and forget the stress.
I love this film and always wanted to watch it again; Finally, I did and I found out that this is not just an ordinary story about switching babies, It kinda relates to 'Blood brothers'.

Intro : Like Father, Like Son(そして父になるSoshite Chichi ni Naru) is a 2013 Japanese drama film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda It was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Ryota Nonomiya is a successful businessman who is focused so much on work that he neglects his wife, Midori, and son, Keita. Upon his return home one day, Midori tells him that the hospital where Keita was born needs to speak to them urgently, and Ryota senses trouble. After arriving at the hospital, the couple learns that their biological son Ryusei was accidently switched with Keita after birth, and after DNA tests prove the error, they must now make a life-changing decision to either keep Keita, the boy they raised as their own son or switch him for their true son.
Ryota and Midori soon meet with the other couple, Yukari and Yudai Saiki, small town folks who lack the money and drive that Ryota possess but have a better understanding of the importance of child and parent bonds. They share photos, and for the first time, Ryota and Midori see their biological son, Ryusei. After several meetings, they decide to switch children for one Saturday, which goes relatively well for both considering the tense situation. After several more meetings, they finally decide to exchange children. All four parents have difficulty accepting the loss of their previous son, and the absence of the parents they used to know causes both boys to shut down emotionally, culminating in Ryusei running away from the Nonomiya's home and returning to the Saiki's. Ryota picks up Ryusei and brings him back home.
Ryota and Midori begin to bond with Ryusei, who is also warming up to them. However, while going through the photos on his camera, Ryota discovers a cache of photos of him, mostly sleeping, that Keita took, and he breaks down crying. The three return to the Saiki family so Ryota, who has now understood the errors of his ways, can see Keita, but Keita runs away from him. While following him, he apologizes to Keita, and the two make amends. The film ends with the two returning to the Saiki's, and both families entering the home, signifying the strengthening of the bond between both families and the acceptance of their decision.
My feelings after watching:
This is my first film review so I might not be very good at it.
The actresses and actors were absolutely fantastic!
In this movie/film, you could actually tell the difference between 2 families,
Nonomiya Ryota is a middle class, works in a big company and lives in Tokyo(Near Tokyo Skytree), he neglects his wife and son.
Nonomiya Keita, is a gentleman, plays piano and very independent(he has to do everything by himself).
Keita has to call his mom and dad in a formal way - which Ryusei calls his parents - Mama, Papa.
Nonomiya Ryota tried to spend time with his son, maybe go camping or playing pianos, but differently compare to Ryusei Saiki's family, Ryusei's family is more relaxed, his mom and dad works in a shop, lives in the countryside.
I really don't like the bit which the Hospital and the husbands blamed everything on their wifes of not noticing they switched babies, but what I liked in this movie was the bit where they switched Keita and Ryusei and to live at theirs.
Seeing the differences of a kid who lives in a metropolitan city and the other lives in the countryside.
In this film, the part really did touch my heart was when Nonomiya Ryota said;
'Can I keep them both? I've got plenty money to afford 2 childrens'
but then Ryusei's Dad said 'There are things you can buy in this world, but there are also things you CAN'Tbuy'
After that Nonomiya Ryota chose blood over 6 years of relationship with Keita, If I was Nonomiya Ryota, I'd probably want everything stay the same and not letting the child know what's happening.
But I do understand why he wanted to switch because it is the Japanese culture, which Japanese people will find it weird having a son that is not your biological son.
The scene before ending was Nonomiya Ryota tries to apologize to Keita for being not a good dad these 6 years.
and Keita was saying: Daddy is not my Daddy!
Nonomiya Ryota goes to him and says: I might not be a good dad, but I was your father for 6 years. (It is at the end of the trailer).
What I find it interesting in this movie is that it relates to a play called 'Blood brothers'.
Nature or Nurture? A moving story that throws you into a question...
Would you choose blood over 6 years of relationships?
Thought it'll be great to do something different instead of drawing or painting...
Also colouring releasing stress.

Project started till Christmas;
I don't even know if I've got enough time to do it, as I need a lot of bottles for my project, I have to melt them or make them glow.
Found this Jelly Fish in a bottle on Pinterest.
What I am thinking is that, I should cut the glow stick and pour the liquid inside into the bottle that I'm going to put the jellyfish... But there is a problem which I needed my science teacher's help due to the liquid inside the glow stick is TOXIC. All I need is gloves and goggles, which will protect me from getting harmed. I literally went to the science corridor and asked for advices lol... kelsey x
In case you might have heard me moaning about how much work I do after school; and to keep everything tidy.
I use a clip to secure the notes I made or did in lesson. I really love this character; It's called Gudetama...which I bought it in Japan and There was this massive store in Tokyo Skytree :)
Method number 1 ;
I love using these colourful papers to make notes so It looks cute and neat on my book. Because all the exercise books are basically just white papers and if you stick these coloured paper into your book, It makes it stands out a bit more.(Just like it has been highlighted)
Method Number 2 ;
You might want to bullet point everything you know in a piece of paper/record card.
*I usually write down everything I know*
*Bullet points has been coloured*
Then start drawing the diagram(If the topic you're revising has got it )
-Draw the diagram in 4 different colours, in order to make it clear which one is which. *For example : Sugar - Green
Then use a blue tack or what ever you've got, it could be any stickers and stick it on your wall,
From the bottom of my heart; Thank you so much for supporting me all the time and told me not to give up. Even though I know the Blue dress might look better but as what Sir said to me that I should be proud. Thank you to my Art teacher who let me stayed behind every monday and tuesday to get this done as soon as possible;
My friends just wanted to take a selfie with me... It wasn't that bad :D Kelsey xx
Last week was a stressful week but now It is completely opposite!
I used my Fujifilm camera to take Cheki's for my dress and I actually enjoy doing this.
Everyone was looking at me while I was taking pics.
I was going to show these cheki's to my teacher during lesson, But I ended up showing him after school instead.
I should be proud? should I? :)
I did the dripping bits which I think it might bring the illusion out... Also It expresses my feelings.
Last week was terrible so I put black ink on the dress which represents my anger. Red and Orange represents the colour of happiness, I did put a lot of Pink-ish red colours today, Because I knew that this week is going to be ace. Yellow? I put yellow it is because of SKY-HI and Happy 10 years anniversary :) I think that's pretty much it for my dress...
I really really love the dripping part and this was actually the first Cheki I took today. Too cute and the paper actually represents how I did it(even though I binned it afterwards). Should have kept them :( There was ink on the floor as well ...
WOULD YOU WEAR IT?
If this was an actual dress, I would wear it and walk around school.
I had enough for this week and all these silliness.
To be honest, after having a conversation, I feel so much better. At least everything I want to say is not bottled up any more;
But I do feel very stressed out, while Sir was asking me : Why are you being so moody?
I didn't know how to explain because I guess I'm scared to be getting told off, or I'm just basically being weird.
Let me tell everyone why am I so stressed out ;
1. I don't get much help 2 I'm so worried for my GCSE's
Sounds like I've still got ages but it is not! I'm actually starting to miss High school so much Kelsey xx
Today has been the worst day ever; It shouldn't be but it's a Tuesday.
I will always remember what happened today.
See my Japanese blog for more info : ameblo.jp/siinkotakeru25
Can't believe that I have finished my art coursework; absolutely shattered after doing these flowers...
The name of this dress?
I'm naming it : The dress of summer memories. You might think it is not a very special name but in Japanese It has a very special meaning.
Especially my summer memories in 2015, I went back to Tokyo, Japan after years of studying aboard. and also, visiting my friends... I do art, because it cheers me up; releasing the stress...
Ink Drops ; at last I see the light...
Using Orange, Yellow,Blue and all sorts of colours of ink to drip it onto my dress.
Before; need to test the colour on the paper, make sure you use the colour you want.
I actually spent 10 minutes doing it - Effort does pays off.
Think before you drop them because It might not look like something that you expected to look like.
I think I did a really good job in my coursework...
