Assalamualaikum readers !
Today , I would like to make a review about a horror movie , Conjuring 2 that I had watched last Wednesday . I am not really fond with this kind of movie , but , doing different things or I rather say unusual , may give me a good experience and new expectation . I had watched Conjuring movie before and I know a little about what this movie is mainly about . Conjuring is a movie that shows paranormal activities based on true story that happened in past . However , Conjuring and Conjuring 2 are completely distinctive - the cases handled were not related at all - and the only things that make them connected are the main actor and actress who are the priests .
Conjuring 2 introduce the siblings of five with a widow . They live in a small house near residential street and live happily . One day , a younger sister , Janet make some kind of ritual in her room called "spirit of the coin" . Her sister joined her , but after few minutes , they dismissed and went to sleep . After the ritual , many weird incidents happened in the house . The family had been disturbed by a ghost portrayed as an old man who claimed that he lived there before . He used Janet to deliver his messages and ran amok , telling them to move away from the house . The priests , who are the main characters came to their place and tried to help them . Few discoveries lead to conflicts and betrayal . The story is totally engaging after the movie revealed the real protagonist behind the activities . In the end , the case had been solved and everything turned back to normal .
If you are not strong enough in term of your spiritual strength , I totally not recommend this movie . Since it is based on true story , people who afraid of this kind of creature may easily feel haunted after watching the movie . They may sweating profusely without no reason during night with scary imaginations , and this can cause difficulty in sleeping . They also tend to feel afraid all the time . Worrying that the ghost can come up anywhere and anytime , they feel extremely cautious and excessively protective . This people will become depress and cannot live normally .
There are many other consequences besides feeling haunted but I might cannot explain it as this is a sensitive issues regarding religion .

#2 Novel Review - Dragon Kiss
Assalamualaikum readers !
I just read a novel entitled Dragon Kiss literally just few minutes ago . I know that I should not procrastinate this review like my past one ( which I had not settled yet though ) , so , I quickly turn on my laptop and my fingers are ready to battle against the keyboards . By the way , it took almost a fortnight to read the book . Not that it is too hard to fathom or too thick to read , but it is just me who think that she does not have enough time to read . ( :'( )
The book "Dragon Kiss" is a sequence from a long series of books and it is the seventh . Eventhough it is a continuation of a book , I still can understand what the story is and get the main idea what the author is trying to imply . In a summary , the story is about an ice dragon named Audun who wants to marry a princess but faces difficulty due to their difference races ; dragon and human .The book mentions about the past story where Audun and the lady had met before . She , who is a human that can transform into green dragoness , helped his family that trapped in an eternal frozen ice . After the incident , he fell in love with her eventually and decided to have her hand . The focus is more likely toward Audun as he makes several attempts to convince his superior to let him turns into human and marry the lady he likes . He is being assigned to number of tasks to test whether he is worthy or not . Suprisingly , he did his tasks really well and not enough with that , he also helps people during his journey . With the superior approval , his grandmother , who is the councellor of the Dragon Kingdom , teaches him how to transform . Upon becoming a human , he faces more obstacles ahead and fears of a wizard who tracks down his dragon's scale . At the end of the story , he did not regret his decision and manage to win the lady's heart :D .
From the story , I learnt that we should help people in needs . There is a quote says " You get back what you give " . Whenever you lend a help to people , you will be rewarded whether consciously or not . It is not that I am telling you to help people and expect for the rewards . It is called of human nature to feel empathy toward others . Imagine that everyone in the world is not selfish ; this world can become a better place to live. Being empathy may not give you any money or beneficial to you physically , but , it gives out happiness to people surrounding and to yourself as well . So , get out from your shell and spread happiness . :D .

#1 Movie Review - Zootopia
Assalamualaikum readers !
I had watched Zootopia this
evening . Interesting , cute and warming ; the movie was totally a success . I was totally engaged and
admired the main character. The movie’s
setting was in a place where animals lived together ; there is no sign of human
living there of course . A female bunny , Judy was optimistic of becoming the
first rabbit officer in the police department of nearby city Zootopia since she
was little . Even she was graduated top of her class , she was excluded from
handling case and was assigned to parking duty . She reluctantly accepted it. During
her first day , she met a fox , Nick Wilde and his partner , Finnick . After
that remarkable meeting , the story started to progress when Judy had to handle
a case regarding missing animals and worked together with Nick who happened to
be blackmailed by her . Few evidences
were found and lead them to the secrets behind the disappearance incidents .
Their friendship was put into test . Their wills were pushed to the limits in
order to prove the police that she is worthy . At the end of the story , there
was a plot twist . The new mayor , who was actually seemed to be the good
person throughout the movie , revealed
that she was the culprit behind the case . Nick and Judy captured her and they
succeed . Afterwards , Nick became a
police and worked together with Judy .
What I learnt from the story is that we need to be confident with our ambition . Whenever people doubt about our future , prove and explain to them . Stand with our choice and strive for it . People’s perspectives are not important but that does not mean that we should take them for granted . As long as our plan is for the good , just get to it . We may feel discourage sometimes , but just ignore the feeling as we will soon be proud of what we had done before .

I , personally , agreed with the
main character’s decision . She decided to become the odd when no one ever
become a police from her troops . She was determined and often told herself by
saying “ Anyone can become anything “ . Despite what her parents and people
told her , she was now the proud police
of the Zootopia . I have been in her shoes before and I feel her . That is why
, without a doubt , I nodded ;
agreed .
