Beck

Recently I've been watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, which is a pretty fine anime. The only problem is the vulgarities being thrown around. Its about a boy named Koyuki, who eventually learns the guitar and joins a band in their bid to become famous.

The main character, Koyuki really reminds me of the time I started to learn the guitar... How I was so fervent about it, how I was someone plain, mediocre if not for the fact that I found my talent, my place in the world, my confidence. That's why I really love music, because if not for it, I wouldn't be who I am now. This is the exact thing Koyuki experienced, though in different ways.

Music has hurt me, music has blessed me, music has inspired me, music has stressed me, and the mixture of emotions that comes with it convinces me that true music comes from the heart, and how it cries out to others. Every single time I hold the guitar, emotions just flow, pure and uninhibited. And that's how I want to touch people the people around me in my life. Its just more to me than just sound.

Well. You can watch Beck if you want. Here's a pic.


I'm glad I remembered my past by watching this anime. Just reminds you to give thanks for your past, and to strive to be your best in whatever field you are in. Cheers.

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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 ...

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.
