A plushie of Sisu from Raya and the Last Dragon is now available for pre-order in Shopee and I immediately added it to cart and placed my order. The seller is from China, so it's going to take several days to ship to the Philippines. But still, totally worth the wait! I can't wait to show it to you all. My Chryssi plushie is going to have a playmate soon.

There's been a lot of complaints from Tumblr users regarding the final design of the water dragon who is set to appear in Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon. Some said that she strongly resembles Elsa because of her big eyes, looks like a Kirin, has too much fur, her snout is short, lacks whiskers, etc.

Here is the official Tagalog cover version of Lead The Way by Jhené Aiko. Disney has finally made history!!! 🤩🙌🏻

Raya and the Last Dragon - or Raya and her Trust Issues - is a decent but unexceptional CG animated movie from Disney. The movie features vibrant and striking visuals, but a cast of essentially two characters plus a bunch of character shaped props.

It is a movie whose moral is that it is only by extending trust can we expect trust in return wherein the ENTIRE PLOT is driven by people backstabbing those who were foolish enough to trust them.

I watched it a couple of weeks ago and it was an enjoyable and breathtaking experience. It made me feel good in the chest that finally, there is Southeast Asian representation in a Disney film. I give a big thumbs up to the team who did their research and portrayed the culture as accurately as they can. Sisu is my favourite character because her quirky and fun-loving personality goes really well with her wisdom and intuition. Awkwafina did fantastic in providing her voice. 💚🐉

User 2 said, "im sorry that we wanted an accurate portrayal of our culture and myths in one of the rare movies that are about us???"

Do yourself a favor and go see it.

Also am I the only one who wants to see Sisu hang out with Genie or Maui from Aladdin and Moana?

Here is the first look of the main protagonist, Raya, who's going to be the first Southeast Asian Disney Princess.

I recommend you watch it if cinemas are open and safe where you are.
If not, look for it on DVD or Disney Plus if you have it.
I firmly believe that Kelly Marie Tran deserves a break and it's wonderful to see her as this year's Disney Princess.
I really want this to break even because this is the kind of thing Disney needs to try more. I'm someone who thinks that if you want a company to do something differently, support the stuff you think works.
So let's do that, shall we?

I’m currently taking up basic level 5 of Nihongo. Last week, Sensei gave us homework for the conversation activity which was to prepare 2 solo photos or 1 group photo of family or friends. It can be a dream/fantasy family.

I asked Sensei if the fantasy family can consist of characters from video games and/or animated series. She said yes and it got me excited as I already figured out who I was going to present in class: Balan as my boyfriend and Sisu as my older sister.
