Cureless

Wow. It’s December already. Last week was tough. It was when I first experienced an earthquake inside a tall building. That’s when I first felt the threat of a political and military skirmish as a civilian. And I found out the reason why a gazillion of people are addicted to Heroes.

Let me start with the first one. Like I said in one of my tweets, I had a bad feeling about the earthquake. I was sitting in my area with exactly the same people whom I shared the news about the Glorietta explosion more than a month ago. Deja vu doesn’t happen on a regular basis and all I could say is it wasn’t a nice feeling at all, even if caught my keyboard and wrote a twit. And I felt excited, then quite guilty after that.

I’ve seen quite too many characters like Trillanes in the media that I’m most acquainted with. In anime however, characters like him, no matter how popular, intelligent, charismatic and ambitious they are always end up with meeting death in the end. People like Light Yagami (of the Death Note fame) and the Dragons of Earth (in X) with their greatest desire for a new world, would willingly sacrifice and destroy everyone. That’s fiction but it happened sometime in history. Moreover, I still believe that there are still a few of these Dragons of Heavens who are truly committed in preserving everyone’s much deserved peace.

Speaking of Heroes, I watched Season 2’s episodes 1-10 with my college friends last Friday. I was so sure of myself not getting addicted to it because it had all the elements of being a drama series camouflaged as an action series. And I had enough of drama. But… but watching it in an HDTV with your long lost favorite classmates is just too powerful to ignore. And… if I were in college, I think I’d gush over Peter Petrelli’s bishieness. Again, that is if I were in college.
