The Egg Tray [Part II]: Stationery, Beauty, and More

Part I (click here!): Books, Series, Movies, & Apps

We are back with another Egg Tray. I already discussed the fandom-related things that you can check out by clicking part I above. Now I am going to talk about some items that are bit more tangible and that you can definitely use everyday.

The Egg Tray: Jurassic World, Sense8, and More!

And we are back with another egg tray, where i show my current favorites. So let's get a move on!

Of course, one of the most anticipated films of 2015 is on this list. Jurassic World was definitely a must-watch for me because Jurassic Park is part of my childhood. Plus, Chris Pratt is in this movie, so how can I not watch it? My verdict is yes, it's a good film. I have to admit, it got very interesting the moment the dinosaurs came in, especially the raptors (they're so adorable). The dialogue maybe needed a little work for me, but that didn't stop me from enjoying. If you haven't seen it, give it a try. It may not be too thrilling, but it will give you the good vibes.

My next favorite is a recent series. It is called Sense8 and it was highly recommended by my friend because.... the Wachowskis made this. Sure, Jupiter Ascending may have been a descending to the majority, but it doesn't mean that the talents of the Wachowski Brothers have been diminished. I just started on the first episode and as far as I understood, it is about 8 people from around the world, who have this unexplained connection with each other. They are all able to sense each other, but this has yet to be explained in the show. So far, it's intriguing. The cast is so diverse and foreign, because they are not a bunch of white people attempting to be foreign. Plus, what I like about this series is that I get to experience the character and their culture at the same time. For example, we have Nomi, who is a lesbian fighting for the equality of the LGBT community in the United States. I was able to see the reality of the LGBT and what they are doing just to achieve gender equality. So yeah, I will most likely continue this series.

I was able to watch another anime show and it is called Steins;Gate. Since I've been a major fan of The Flash and the Insignia Series, I just had this sudden desire of more Science Fiction. Plus, I wanted to watch another anime to get over Akame Ga Kill, and this was the solution to all my problems. Basically, the anime focuses on Okabe Rintarou, as self-proclaimed mad scientist who aspires to change the world through science and technology. But he is particularly interested in Time Travel, and he and his friends managed to create their own Time Machine, which is in the form of a microwave. Unfortunately, this caused a major change in the timeline, created a whole new world line from there. I guess explaining the whole thing will reveal spoilers, but this anime has a very good build-up and the concept of Time Travel here is very unique. Plus, the characters are really good, even the minor characters are well-written. Also this story takes place in Akihabara, which is one of the "techie" and "moe" places in Japan. I'm not sure if I will be able to make a review of this, since I have a lot in mind, but all I can say is that I also recommend this show.

I was able to play a game, and it is called Pokemon: Sapphire Version. I know, it is a pretty old game but I miss playing Pokemon and I don't really have the latest model of the Nintendo DS. I really love the pokemon in Hoenn, all of them have been my favorite since I was a kid. My starter pokemon was Torchic. I only have four in my party so far and they are Flygon, Blaziken, Aggron, and Gardevoir. I'm about to get my eighth badge and hopefully defeating the Elite Four wouldn't be too difficult.

So that's all in my egg tray! Till the next post~

The Egg Tray: Akame Ga Kill and Catalyst

We are back with another segment of The Egg Tray, were I simply fangirl over my current favorites for no good reason at all! Unfortunately, I had a busy month so I didn't really have enough time to appreciate anything. Luckily I didn't just grasp on straws.

Recently, I just finished the last book of the Insignia series, which is Catalyst by S.J. Kincaid. I have to say, it is officially my favorite of the three. It may not have the greatest action-packed ultimatum that I usually crave for in novels like this, but it is filled with emotions that needed severe closure, and reading page after page grew so dark that I thought things would never get better. Luckily, it did and I ended up very satisfied with the ending. What really mattered most in this book was how each character matured. Tom's realization in the end, was one of the greatest things I've ever read next to the reveal of who the catalyst really was. I don't really want to spoil much, but all I can say is that the Spire went under new management and that the world was too focused on the war to the point they had no idea that a plot of world domination was happening underneath their noses. Tom learns of this but let's say he had a lot at risk before he could even bother stopping the bad guy from doing his bad deeds. There. That's all I'm gonna say.

Guess what! I've picked up a new anime and it is called Akame Ga Kill. I just started the show, so all I know is that its about a young country boy named Tatsumi who aspires to save his village from heavy taxation and other forms of suffering. He thought that making it big in the Imperial Capital, the center of the universe in this setting, would save his village. But then he learns how corrupt the place was. That's when he encounters Night Raid, a group of wanted assassins whose only purpose is to eradicate the corruption swarming the Imperial Capital. He joins this cause and hopes to wipe out the evil and help his country. The action scenes are great and the characters are very interesting, especially Akame, the girl that the anime is named after. So far, I'm in the beginning stages of this show and I can't wait to see more of it.

And that's it! Sorry if it is too short but I will make up for it! Till the next post~
