Vandel

The title may seem like a horribly misspelled spin on the word that is used to refer to a person who damages public property, but trust me, its not! :)

It's the name of the set of monsters who are the antagonists for the newest anime I'm watching, my first of 2013: Beet the Vandel Buster! Well, the storyline is set in an era where humans are undergoing all sorts of oppression under humanoid monsters called Vandels, and because of that Busters emerge to defeat these beings. The main character, Beet, is a strange boy who has amazing stamina, able to run for 3 days straight, but a strange weakness - he falls asleep for 1 whole day after the 3 days, and cannot be woken. When he was young, his accidental intervention in a fight between an extremely strong Vandel and 5 Busters caused him to be injured almost fatally, and the Busters, to save his life, sacrificed their weapons, embedding them in Beet's body to save him.

And so this is a story about Beet and his journeys to end the suffering of the humans! I'm enjoying this anime, just like every other adventure plus action type anime, and its one I definitely recommend!

Besides this, bidding has been good, spent a lot of points (1600) on the 3 modules that I currently have, with still a good enough stash of points to spare. =) So far I've secured: Health Psychology, Human Performance and Group Dynamics, and I've 2 modules left to bid for, but that'll be later.

Other than this, I've been feeling a bit tired having to juggle lots of stuff, it feels like I've lacked a good break ever since the week before YE Camp. Not even sure if I'll get a break, but we'll see how! =P I haven't even packed my cupboard for my mom yet!

One last thing... Being a leader in YE feels extremely natural to me, and I'm not sure why that is so. I suppose its because I'm truly fulfilling God's calling in my life that such a calm covers me when I'm in the presence of the youth. I hope to share my life openly with everyone, and by that influence them positively! :) 2013, bring it on!!!

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
