Dustyhawk :: Broken Mirror

Friday the 13th. In some western cultures it is considered a day of bad luck, call it superstition. Those who fear this day and date has the phobia which is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

Bad luck, karma, what ever one may call it really exist in the mind of those who actually believes in it. Without believe nothing exist. Even if there is physical evidence to what had happen, a disbelieve in that evidence will render it useless.

Same thing goes to religion and other forms of “God” worship. As what Serge has mentioned about man made religion, God is God and Religion is the way we humans interpret God. In most religion that has a higher form of superior being, part of all of this “God” religion has one common factor.

Cheer, cheer and courage display ,
All you La Sallians join in the fray!
Send a volley of cheers on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small,
We all La Sallians win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.

Rise, boys and loudly proclaim
That you will never sully her name!
Let the hills and woodlands ring,
Lift up your hearts and loudly sing.
What though the way be rough or steep,
We unto virtue’s summons will keep;
And if e’er our country needs us,
Loyal and true we’ll be.

Just finished the awesome anime known as Nodame Cantabile.

Nodame Cantabile, revolves the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Noda Megumi and the students at Momogaoka College of Music. The classical music is one of the elements that caught Serge’s interest. Although it is normal for animators to use music in their animation, it is quite rare to have them use pure classical music such as those from Beethoven, Bach, etc.

Although the anime is called Nodame Cantabile, it is sad to see that the main focus was on Chiaki Shinichi. That is the only thing that disappointed Serge. The ending was touching though one could see what will happen.

In any case, 4/5 stars for this anime.

With less than 2 weeks before the big event, Serge has made some small changes to this site. One of it is the addition of a nutshell Blogathon page and a webcam page.

The nutshell page is just a brief overview of what Blogathon is about and the reason why Serge chose UNICEF. It contains instruction on how to be a sponsor

For the webcam page, Fida of Fidainc says it best

“..it’ll be hilarious to snap a picture every half hour so that we can tell if you’re wilting or not!”

Do take note that Fida is also part of this year’s blogathon and the charity of her choice is Hair for Hope (Children’s Cancer Foundation) and it’ll be great if you guys and gals support her by making a difference and make a pledge to her noble cause..

Sometimes in the IRC channel which Serge has taken a residence in, does give out in sight of what some people think are right and what is wrong in their own humble opinion.

For that night, the talk about self worth was a hot topic even though it lasted for less than an hour. But it is hot, in the opinion of Serge. One of the users was talking about how they lost their virginity just because they just wanted to keep their word. Mind you, Serge only condones sex when both party has a mutual and understanding to what happens with sex.
