Strength

To know who you are really like,
and acknowledge it
a positive thinking of enjoying yourself
isn't that what true strength is ?

What a year ender for 2008

■ There are lots of things happening aroud my neighborhood.
It is really shocking to be part of the groups officers. I mean, I know the issues and I need to keep it away from the members. Once the members are informed they will do abrupt actions and you never know when they will hurt each other. I need to keep myself unbiased.

Last Friday I was informed. And WOW that was a lot.
I just pray everything will be alright.
I do not want to strain myself as well.

■ Schoolworks. I studied until the 24th. And now I lost the urge to study D: There are many things to memorize! I am telling you, I hate memorizing. But I got to believe in myself or else my grades will hate me as well.

■ I heard about a news about a boastful politician, shouting his position as he beats up a 54-year-old man and his 14-year-old son. Just read his daughter's story here. Lastly, I knew a young person who just got pregnant. Instead of analyzing and giving out opinions, I just said "okay" We are not that close anyway, she just GMed it for formality sake. Good thing she accepted it. Responsible young woman.

■ END the year. Hope everything will be fine in the next

Brave Story

I, once again, wondered of what anime to watch. I decided to pick out a movie, something I can finish in one sitting. So I came across this anime called: Brave Story

The title isn't something that pleases the ear.
However, the saying "Do not judge the book by its cover" applies.

It is a story of a ten year old boy, wanting to reunite his parents and regain the happiness he shares with them. Along the way, he meets another boy, who's past at first remained unknown. They both travelled in a dimension, a place where their wish could come true. Moving on different paths, they challenged themselves to collect the necessary gems that would help them to see the Goddess of Fortune for their wish to come true.

There are some striking words that are spoken. Plus, the ending left me with an "aw" in mind. It is not one of those long endings where characters become very sentimental. It was a great ending.

It reminded me of Studio Ghibli films in a way.

If you want some time killers, this would be a good movie to watch! It was based on a game: Brave Story: New Traveler so perhaps you would want to play the game, after seeing this epic film.

Not so Christmassy

Start of the Christmas Break!
But it's not so Christmassy I say :'(

There are a lot of things to do for school, and a little time for the things I want to do! I find it a little unfair to be experiencing this kind of vacation. I should be spending my time, fancy-ing things up (and by that I mean buying stuff lol)

I envy other students who will spend their vacations without anything in mind. Whilst me, I would be memorizing 4 chapters for our Human Biology class and I will be practicing for our return demonstration (that would include bed bath, bed making, perineal care and back massage).

I do not see any reason why I am sacrificing. I do not even know why I am in this course.

Laugh out loud, but whatever frustrations will enter my mind, the thought of JUST finishing this vocation comes by; and I do not disagree.

This will be done, after 4 years. And I will be promising myself to do whatever I want as I make some money! :D

Nodame Cantabile

I was just looking for a random anime, something with a concept that is somehow unique. Something new that I haven't seen and worth it to watch. I pass by the title "Nodame Cantabile" With it's short description about it being "funny" and as it revolves around "music" I gave it a try.

Sure do, it does revolve around music. When you enter the college of arts it is really difficult because you need to be one of the best in order to get an income. In the anime, I'm guessing that the major questions was: Where does passion lead you?

"Notabe Cantabile" is an anime filled with the passion towards the art of music. It is a struggle to be one of the bests. If it weren't because of the HILARIOUS scenes, it might be burried into seriousness. Thanks to the humor, it wasn't dull.

Of all the concertos they played "Mozart Oboe Concerto in C Major" really caught my attention. And the other one was when Chiaki and Nodame played "Elgar". It was a great opportunity to listen to music such as these :D

There wasn't much of the mushy scenes.
And I can say that the ending was s-w-e-e-e-e-e-t!

So why not try this anime? If you're up to some laughs and music all together.
