Maddness
Someone was telling me, if anyone is fall in love with him/her, that other person is most probably mad, or from the oringinal words, freako, and deserved the most beautiful death.
Lots of truth actually.
When you fall in love, or just a crush, your mind and body is going to behave differently from normal logic.
Such foolishness indeed deserve death.
And I am adding to the death-toll now by falling in love with 'her'.

Women in Space
The latest series of the 30 years old classic Japanese anime series Mobile Suit Gundam, is Gundam SEED Destiny. It is basically a sequel to the rather successful Gundam SEED aired 2 years ago.
In short, it is trying hard to recreate the viewership miricale that happened 20+ years ago, when the 1st ever seaquel, Z Gudam was realeased.
While trying hard to replicate and incoporate technology from the past 10+ series of different medium, some interesting plot change had taken place.
The role of female characters.
In the 2 SEED franchise, women had shown to play great roles the war. While all the hero's flag ship are commanded by female captains, the main politicians (the good of coz...) are young women, girlfirends or wives of the male leads, who of course pilot the mobile suits and fight the shit out of their enemy.
So to say, the decision makers.
Not that I am saying this plot is too women supportive, but the thing is that it do have a lot of implication on the possible future of real world politics.
Though this is not a pioneer moves of political reference by a sci-fi works, but implicating the importance of women's changing role, is really something unusual in the originally patriachical Japan society.
We shall see how true it is when we go to space.

Passion and Responsibility
I got my post as special project officier. I was so thrilled, I sent out SMS to a few people I know, including the 'someone', and was smiling away when on my way back home to take a pair of jeans.
But, today, after attending the first meeting, I realise how much I have to give up for this passion. Classes will be skipped, free-time will goes to rest, which will be in turn consumed by the time taken to prepare the various events.
That 52 ECA points is really going to be hard earned.

Overkill
I went for my Japanese Appreciation Club welcome tea cum AGM, where once again, I tried for a position in the main-committee.
So, there goes the usual speech.
But, even with the support from the past main-comm, I was on a tie with a new member of the club. This make me wanna shout: WHAT THE FUCK!!!???
Then, my ex-president of the club told me, I over do it in terms of showing off my capability.
Yes, I fully agree by the comment, and my tendency to show off had kicked in again. The people who know me know I got what it takes. But complete strangers, my attitude could be rather irritating.
In other words, overkill again, and I can ensure my doom in tommorow's interview by the new president of the club.
Please, don't draw stick man with organs again.

I am not 電車男
When the hint that I had a new target was leaked out to my freshie, I felt so much like the hero of 電車男, where by he is being adviced by his online friends and community on how to win her date's heart, and finally get married. Now and then, my friends and freshie give me words of encouragement and tips of how to create a perfect date, or a date to begin with.
However, I realise, though the story was based on a real incident, I am not 電車男, and the same story will not happen in my life.
Though similarly both of us do not know the girl too well before that, leading a Asian, campus life is not quite the same as an otaku (anime-game manic, who stay at home only 90% of their free time). I do have a little more of an own life to handle. Though this matter is one that might affect the rest of my life, I am not so much able to put any risk of scaring her away, by doing any fancy moves to win her heart in a flash. I had too much bad experience to tell me not to do so.
In another words, you can say I am being chicken, loser, croward, etc, etc... But I'm used to it, it's something I feel along from birth.
I tried not to refuse the help from my friends, 'cos they really mean goods in essence. But the more I get advises from them, which mostly I dare not try or failed to get her out, the more I feel being a fool. I'll start asking myself, am I a man at all? Why am I always alone in the crowd, without a hand I can hold onto. Am I really that fucked up?
To say I'll give up is dealing an absolute, and the last thing I should do regarding this sort of matters.
Knowing I ain't going to be another 電車男, I think is time I step out of other's shadowing shelter. I thank you all for all the support, but I would like to take the next step on my own.
