The Dangers Of Neglect

Nobody wants to be taken for granted. When you feel neglected, several other negative feelings tend to manifest. To be taken for granted by someone you love is just like as not being loved at all. Many people, especially children, who feel neglected have the tendency to either hurt themselves or others. A lot of dangers await those who feel disregarded, and to those who keep on ignoring the importance of anything or anyone.

These are my realizations upon watching these two films. I just stumbled them on youtube when boredom struck me and I wanted to watch something that has some decent, positive comments/feedback.

The Orphanage

I'm not really fond of horror movies; especially those psychological types (the ones that let your thoughts do the torture) because I'm actually good at scaring myself. This movie is one of those that you won't be able to forget easily.

The kid is so adorable, and there are some fascinating scenes that would make you forget it's a horror movie or something. Although you would have to rely on the subtitles because this is a Spanish movie (produced by Guillermo del Toro), you will surely have fun watching this if you're looking for a horror movie that does not rely on the frequent appearances of ghosts and jumpy moments or the distortion of the characters' faces but rather on the originality of the story and the way it tickles the brain.

The relevance of neglect? Watch and find out for yourself...



Doll Master

Now this has just made me all the more uninterested in dolls, particularly those bigger or life-size ones. It actually gave me a terrifyingly creepy feeling. The house full of dolls in this movie is not your ordinary doll house. I bet that even those who love Barbie would think twice in staying on that house. Everything's just disturbing! This is a Korean horror movie so expect some signature hair-related scary scenes.



The point is, even those lifeless things need some attention, particularly if you use them regularly or if you have been so fond of them--just like the dolls or the toys we cherished when we were just kids.

Neglect will eventually lead to regret, especially if it's already too late to make up for the times lost.

Was Never A Fan Of Dolls...

I was never a fan of dolls, or barbie dolls to be precised; not even when I was a kid. Since I am "one of the boys", haha I prefer to play games or have toys which can enhance my imagination more than dolls can. In fact, I really find dolls very boring to play with. And they may also cost you much; unlike when you are just running around playing hide and seek or other "street games." but still can improve your social skills or the spirit of camaraderie without compromising enjoyment.

Not being a fan doesn't mean I don't appreciate the dolls' beauty, though. And I understand why moms would like to see their daughters play with dolls instead of getting their selves sweaty and dirty from the streets. However, I just don't adore the typical Barbie dolls. I even find it hilarious to see very expensive yet common-looking dolls! But I happen to stumble upon a website promoting "Enchanted Dolls." Indeed, such dolls were enchanting. And seeing such dolls made me want to have them.. for the first time.. lol

These dolls may look a bit scary at first; but hey, look at the details. Aren't they awesome? :D

Not only that they look like real beautiful ladies, but they're so cute; their size, that is. Of course, they're also fragile and flexible.. So, handle with care.. ;)

I wonder who can give me these...  :D

I also stumbled upon these Crochet Dolls made by a Filipino doll creator named  Erin Chupeco.
