Anime Review: One Piece TV Special - Romance Dawn

This TV Special, Romance Dawn, is the anime remake that retells the story of Romance Dawn V.1. This remake occurs after the Thriller Bark Arc and before the Sabaody Archipelago arc in the anime series. As such, all 9 members of the Straw Hat crew are present, as oppose to the original story, which only featured Luffy. It was released on November 24, 2008.

In this TV special, the Straw Hat Crew run out of provisions, so they send Luffy off to search for food to replenish their own food stocks. He encounters a girl named Silk, who has mistaken Luffy as a pirate from Crescent-Moon Galley's crew. Galley has threatened her town and Luffy promises Silk that he'll help her defeat him.

Below are some screenshot:

Tired Tuesday...

Woke up at 6.30am on tuesday morning this week, feeling groggy and extremely sleepy because of the unfitful sleep yesterday night after viewing a very revolting photo. Ugggghhhh!! Really gave me nightmares.

Then, ate breakfast and took my puppy to the vet for vaccination. We were the first to arrive and took the first number. Poor Katie had to be left in the cage outside the waiting room because no dogs are allowed in the waiting room. I was reluctant to leave her alone outside in the cage for this was the first visit to the vet for her and she's still a puppy and may end up freaked up in a unknown place. My parents say its fine but later, my fears were right.

She was curled up in the far corner of her cage. She wasn't noisy and didn't even attempt to nip me when I pet her the whole time she was outside. She did that a lot when we're at home, LOL.

Her fears worsen when someone brought a big white Spitz and place it in the cage opposite her. The silly dog kept barking at my dog. She barks back in self defence but backing up to the cage's far wall. I told her 'No', she stopped barking and look up at me while the other dog kept barking at her.

We still have to leave her out there for about 20 minutes before the counter open and patients can start to see the vet. After filling in some forms, we get to see the vet at 9 am.

Poor Katie was scared stiff. She was trembling all over when we place her on the table for the vet to examine her. The vet, a man around his 20s, took her temperature and said it was kind of high. So he said he will take her temperature later she had calmed down. We weighed her first then.

We pet and stroke her back the whole time to calm her down. She lie down like a Sphinx and curled up against me while I tried to calm her. After a few minutes, the vet took her temperature again and said it's okay now to give the injection.

After she had been vaccinated, we went home. Katie was back to her usual self when we reached home.

I ate a packet of nasi lemak. Then tried to study my m'sian notes for my exam next week. But it was so boring and I was tired so I ended up felling asleep twice on the table. The 3rd time I decided to go to sleep till 3 pm.

After that, got up and read a novel till 5 pm. Then went for a walk in the park near my home.

Then, came back and watch America's Funniest Home Videos at 7.30 pm before dinner.

After dinner went back to studying M'sian studies notes. But it was SO BORING!!! I ended up unable to concentrate and couldn't remember much.

Later went online for a while then went to sleep till the next morning.

Dog Talk: Katie

Katie

This is Katie, my three month old energetic, playful, destructive, glutton and noisy puppy. She's just three months old and her size is this big already. She's so big that makes us forget that she's just three months old! Lol! She grows from a puny and fragile pup in the pic below to a more than one foot long pup above in just three months.

She's a mongrel which I suspect that is a cross between a German Shephard dog and another mongrel dog of unknown ancestry. I didn't get to see her parents when I went to Petaling Jaya, Selangor near 1 Utama to get her so I don't know for sure whether my suspicion was correct. She's big boned. Black and tan in colour and has some black on the muzzle. She has a black saddle on her back like that of a western German kind of German Shephard dog. All these are the common physical traits of a GSD.

Pure Breed German Shephard Dog

Her owners didn't want to let us go to their house to choose the puppies but instead chose to take the whole litter of puppies to 1 Utama for us to pick instead. I guess they didn't want us to find out one of her parent is a GSD because many people won't want if they knew she got GSD blood.
Her owners were desparate to give away the puppies. She hasn't weaned yet when we got her home. If you buy puppies from breeders, they usually let you take the pup home after it has weaned.

Anyway, I'm not bothered much if she actually has GSD blood in her although my parents are worried about it. They're afraid that she'll grow up to be too fierce that can even bite her own owners. Yeah, yeah, I know there's many people out there thinks the same too. Remember this; GSDs don't take kindly to beatings and abuse. If you don't practice these two, and give it the attention it needs and socialise it properly, you'll be fine. It only turn against you if you abuse it and make it feel it's time to defend itself. They're highly intelligent dogs so they're not for everybody.

Well, I like my dog the way she is although many people have negative comments about her alsation heritage. I like it more that she has alsation heritage which gives her intelligence, alertness and obedience. She's easy to train and obedient. In just two months she already know how to sit on command, shake hand, heel on a leash, and play fetch.

She's wild and extremely energetic. She's like active throughout the day! She sleeps very little and is always ready to play. Lol!

Introduction

Hi, I'm Eunice. I don't have a nickname that rhymes with my actual name except for Soo Ling that translates to forest in mandarin, hahaha! My other nickname that my friend gave me is turtle because of my love for turtles when I was 14, hehe. I kept a terrapin turtle back then as a pet but I later release him back to the lake. I shall write more about my pets later in my blog. Anyway, I prefer to be called by my real name, hehe.

Okay, back to the introduction. This is my first post. I know, I know I've opened an account here for a long time but I still haven't written anything yet. I opened a blog account after reading my friends blogs which look fun to write. I was soooooo excited to to open an account and I did! And realised that to my horror...I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TO WRITE FOR MY FIRST POST!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

So anyway, here I am, giving my best shot. I have no experience in writing blogs so please bear with me till the end and don't fall asleep. Hehe.

I'm 18 years old. I'm currently doing my A-levels in UCSI. I've finally gotten used to college life except for the exams though. I haven't sit for my first semester exam for my A-levels so i don't know how it will be like yet.

In this blog, I'll write some journals of my life, TV shows, Movies, books, Pets and animals, and short stories. Yeah, these are my interests. I love to watch TV and movies. I'll write some reviews on the TV shows and movies I watched and also on books too.

And I love animals. My love for animals started since I was born, I guess. LOL. I loved animals since I can remember. I remembered the first movie I've watched was the Land Before Time. Is about dinosaurs. After watching that movie, I drew my first dinosaur. I love all kinds of animals. You name it; mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fishes. Not insects though, I'm scared of them but I don't hate them. Many of them are beautiful like butterflies. Hehe. I'm currently keeping a puppy. I shall write about her some time under the section Dog Talk. So look up for it in my blog later, hehe.

As for about writing short stories, I'll write them and post in this blog and in fictionpress too. I plan to write about animal stories and fantasy fictions. Some will be just one-shots or multichapter stories so look up for them, hehe.

That's all about my first post. Until next time! :-)
