Who doesn't want a fairy tale? Everyone loves fairy tale. A magical event in which happiness, goodness, a little bit of bad things that the good things overcome it. A life lesson and words to reflect and to ponder. I honestly love fairy tales as young as heart it seems. I dreamed magical tales, wizards and dragons, prince and princesses and a beautiful castle that I lived happily ever after.

From "a dazzling place i never knew" of Aladdin to "How could I make a man out of you?" of Mulan, fantasies like this have a room inside our heart. We smiled and reflect on things today had to offer. It seems unrealistic however I knew, a beat of any Disney song, you have magical experienced watching it.

As a kid, I remember sneaking out past 7 PM watching Disney Movies in VHS tapes (still young) in our neighbors house. I can't forget how happy I am. Even though I knew, going back home my fairy tale continue (as I pretend my parents are the bad guys, as they will punished me going out without permission hahaha and I'm the prince who will save a princess soon :P).

I remember the magical feeling while watching Little mermaid as Ariel sings from the heart and Sebastian's feet-beating music. Determined to be great as Mulan conquers what it seems forbidden on their time. A Woman became a Man for his sick father and stood-up saying "it doesn't matter, I'll do this for my family".
