Talking “elephant”.
Shin-chan: “bakit mami? bakit? Bakit, ha, bakit?” *asking while doing his elephant dance*
Akalain mo yun o. Of all the many things in the world, I never thought that the very first Tagalog words I’ll hear on Japanese TV would come from no other than the infamous anime – Shin-chan. Surprisingly not, I was happy to see it.(^^) It gave me and my cousin a good laugh – because it reminded me of good ‘ol days and for the simple reason that it’s funny. As for my cousin, it might be because Andrew E.’s voice probably amused him, plus the many other things that the Japanese narrator said while comparing the Tagalog version of the said show to the original. I like watching Shin-chan back then so… yeah.lol
Just last week we’ve talked about Shin-chan at work. Someone said:
“buti hindi nirereklamo yun” (good thing no one’s complaining about it).
My aunt said:
“anu ka. Nirereklamo rin ha. Maraming bata ang hindi pinapapanuod nun. Hindi lang matanggal-tangal kasi malakas sa rating” (Not really. There are those who complain about it. Many kids are warned not to watch it. It’s just that they can’t cancel the show because of its high ratings).
So, even Japan has its share of shin-chan concerns. (-_-)
What can I say; the kid is not exactly a good example to young kids. But for those who are matured enough, mental-wise and *cough* physical-wise and same for those who thinks that they’re experienced enough *cough*, the show is entertaining. Despite its classic-like graphics and characters, the show is and should be categorized as an adult anime. Damn, suddenly I’m craving for something. *cough*

What exactly is a “warrior of the light”?
So I had a hellish week. Wow, that’s new right? The thing is I’ve awaken. I’m losing my End of the World (EOW). This is the price I have to pay.
With just one letter from a friend, I got my senses back. I should be, and I am, thankful to her but losing my EOW is proving to be highly stressful. My mind is constantly thinking/worrying (Oh I’m back, definitely) and I’m no longer just saying and feeling “hai”. I need a good and stable support right now to prop me up. I’m thinking of books; reading good books to widen my perspectives. But it has a cost – a big sum of money to buy it then have it shipped from my home country to here. (-_-)
Paulo Coelho, in his book titled “Manual of the Warrior of Light”, said “A Warrior of Light cannot always choose his battlefield.” Okay, I get what he means but what exactly is a warrior of the light? Am I eligible enough to call my self a “warrior of the light”? Do I want to? Would I want to? Anyways, despite the big question that I’m yet to find answer to until I buy and read the books myself, I’ll apply the quote to my current situation – I’m in a new place, a different world. I am not exactly free to do all of those that I want to do. But I must be strong against the odds. I am my own ace weapon.
I didn’t stumble upon these words for nothing.
