Endearingly adorable…

I will always love Tom and Jerry and even if I get old, I would continue my quest to complete classical episode collection. I started watching this cartoon show of course at Cartoon Network when my sister and I yearly decide to have a vacation at my Aunt's place, as a child obviously my only habit is to turn the TV on and watch Cartoon Network all the day, used to be I love other toons playing on screen but what I mostly linger patiently is the Tom and Jerry show. The toon appears the old classical conventional mood (well to consider it started since 1965) and well-defined animated characters of Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse. I really love their witty chasing moments and some of the scene of the show illustrates some sort of matured circumstances where adults could only understand or some of the youngster age could do, like words "Jerk" and "Jackass" it was not offensive but rather amusing. This is why Tom and Jerry succeeded to catch the hearts of young and adults all over the world.

I can't even imagine myself right now (I'm already 18) lazing myself on the couch and watching my Tom and Jerry classical collection VCDs and suddenly laugh out loud. "Yankee Doodle Mouse", "Fine Feathered friend" and some of the most prototype classical episode of Tom and Jerry (you could notice their classical fashion with the way Tom and Jerry are drawn) where my real favorites.

This indeed is my strongest memory that would keep me reminding of being a child once in a while.
