Here are tips from an introvert for extroverts dealing with Community Quarantine

It seems that every generation has to deal with a disease outbreak or more! Interestingly, starting with the 2002's SARS, outbreaks are repeatedly happening! But unlike the recent past outbreaks such as 2014-2016's Ebola and 2009's H1N1 Flu, we weren't required by our governments to community quarantine and even healthy people should stay in their homes during this COVID-19 pandemic. This is a shock for us living in the 21st Century! However, the people who lived through the historic plagues are probably eye-rolling in their graves. This isn't the first time people have been required to stay in their homes for weeks so we can handle this situation easy-peasy, especially since we have a variety of technology in our hands to make us preoccupied. For introverts, such as the one writing this article, living through the pandemic will be easy breezy, but what about the extroverts? I will be writing a three-part series posting five tips each for extroverts about doing home...

Podcast Post 1: Thoughts I Had While Listening to Mission Rejected S03E01 Blue Storm Rising

In Season 2, Episode 12: A Vow To A Kill, the main characters are waiting for their deaths in every villain's most stereotypical place to set up their lair, in a mouth of a volcano. The floor slowly opens to magma, but it eventually and surprisingly closes. The heroes' lives are spared. They thought one of their hackers, Mackenzie McGrath, shut the floor. However, it was actually The Admiral H.R.R. Fletcher, leader of the Oceanologists cult (a parody of the Scientologists and any other ridiculous but frightening cults in real life), saving their lives and others in the volcano. The Admiral makes use of the airwaves, used previously for Athena O'Brien's televised wedding, to make his announcement to the whole world "that the time he has spoken of has come, that the age of land has passed, to become one with the ocean." After credits of the episode cuts and fades to news outlets across the world announcing about the Oceanologists gathering and chanting "bec...

Fun Facts about Treasure Planet, Disney's Best Animated Deep Cut

  Treasure Planet is my all-time favorite Disney deep cut. Adapted from the classic Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, it is one of those underrated Disney gems that hold some interesting facts. The movie has the record for the most expensive traditional animated film because of its extensive use of Disney's Deep Canva technique. According to Retrojunk.com is the technique that "allows a two-dimensional character to move freely through a painterly 3-dimensional computer-generated environment." The animated film was such a passion project for Ron Clements and John Musker, two of Disney's most successful Disney directors and legends. For Treasure Planet, they waited years to make it. They pitched the movie before making The Little Mermaid, Hercules, and Aladdin. When their then-boss still did not give them the green light to make the movie as promised, they angrily went to the higher-ups, and that's when they got their wish. Another fun fact is that they based Ji...

Disney To Release Raya and The Last Dragon: A Fantasy Animated Movie with Major South East Asian Representation amid Pandemic and Sociopolitical Turmoil Throughout the Region.

  It's safe to say that only a few countries are more than okay amid the pandemic (we are looking at you New Zealand) but as the US, and some Eastern European and South American countries, South East Asian countries have revealed deep-seated problems with their governments.     The world is exposed to the mass protests in Thailand and recently in Myanmar. And it is common knowledge that ASEAN doesn't have the most high-rated democratic reputation across the globe. There is also isn't much unity sociopolitical and authoritarian governments are heavily influenced by China (e.g. Philippines, the military coup in Myanmar). All of the SEA countries are deeply threatened by China because of their territorial stealing.    The SEA countries consist of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Timor Leste. The animators of Disney visited some of these countries for their research in making their ...
