Gunslinger


Well, my newest addition to my iPod is a rather serious anime called Gunslinger Girl. Heres the plot...

In order to destroy the Italian mafia and various gangs that roam the cities of Italy, the Italian goverment created a secret organization made out of cold blooded assassins skilled in armed combat. The surprising thing: the government uses orphaned girls, as they are easily brainwashed and conditioned into mindless warriors. The main story revolves around a young orphaned girl, Henrietta, and her trainer Jose who refuses to manipulate her in the same way the other girls are trained, instead to show care, concern and treat her like a human being.

Full of life lessons, this anime is one that may seem boring to most anime junkies. But deep inside, gems of wisdom are buried. So far I've only watched the first episode, but it was enough for me to see the harm a mentality filled with concepts of self preservation, self centeredness can bring to the lives of innocent people.

Its reminded me not to seek my own benefit first, but the benefits of God and others above my own.

On a different note... Really happy with my new QT material. =) =)

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.
