Sincere Advise

Once in a while you'll bump into someone from the past. They were good friends then, somebody that was worth while. You invest a lot of time with them. You listened to them, asking their opinions. Then as life progress, you move on, with a goodbye and a sense of sadness because you know things will never be the same again.

But as you move on, you are exposed to new things, new people, new surrounding, new culture. You embrace it as it makes sense to you and it accepts you with open arms. You don't realised this but it changes you. At least, in the way you think. Somewhat built you with a new confidence. This new environment accepts you the way you are, sees you in many facets and believed in your potential.

Then, you bump into that someone from the past. Despite the time, they are still the way they were. You suddenly realised how closeminded, how narrow, shallow they are. In pretense of a good advise, they voiced their most darkest desire. Chipping the new confidence you have, which set you to think : Are these the people that you used to care about? How dissapointing...

ANIME. I bought Tactics DVD which contains 25 episodes back in June. But I can never play it on this computer. I tested it on my sister's today and it worked fine. So I had to transfer the whole thing using my flash drive back and fro from my sister's computer to mine. The whole process took about 2 hours. I' ve burned 24 of the episodes on 6 CD-Rs, epi 25 still in my computer. I'll burn it together with a bunch of things that I still keep in this computer. I can almost feel that it is considerably lighter since I've burned off a whole load of things that I left sitting there for months now.

I haven't really watched Tactics yet. But from what I have seen it is pretty repetitive. After the initial meeting between Kan-chan and Haruka things goes again and again on meeting evil and vanquishing them... again and again and again. It takes until episode 20 before things got interesting... heh. Usually things got interesting after 8 or 10 episodes but not this anime. It is also decidedly Shojo... you just can't wait for Kan-chan and Haruka getting at it but they never did... there were a little innuendo though... or maybe its just my imagination. I kept them anyway because I feel its a great waste to just leave the DVD unwatchable... anyway, I got empty CDs to burn...

I also got Buzzer Beater, oh, that from Takehiko Inoue sensei the creator of Slam Dunk! Buzzer Beater is the online manga he did on his website. Cool stuff. I got the anime which I have't watched since June. Its also about basketball but this time it is set in a world where they held is tournament intergalactically. [spoileriffic!!] One of the minor character, Lapis Lazuli, looks so much like Rukawa Kaede of Slam Dunk is actually a girl... [spoileriffic!!] Watching the initial episode when Rukawa was introduced in SD, it does sets me to think that he was perhaps a girl sometime when he was in Dr. T's mind. :P MWAHAH!!
