kids shows (back in the day) part 1

Just as Steven Gerrard, Anfield and The Kop is to Liverpool, or even Highbury and Arsene is to Arsenal, tv shows have by far blended into our lives quite nicely just as we were kids. Every Saturday morning or even Sunday morning after church there has to be a tv show or even animated series that seems so real in our lives; especially when we were much younger. Let's take a look at some of these television shows, cartoon series, manga and what not.

First and foremost, who could forget Pokemon and perhaps the face of this Japanese cartoon, almost goes hand in hand to it; the yellow rodent called Pikachu. Over the years, spin offs of animated series and games ranging from the Game Boy handheld all the way to the Nintedo DS which is hot and popular currently. However, no Pokemon series seems to be complete without its main character, Pikachu. It just doesn't feel right. :P

Next as we roll back the years, we see another spin off that was not as popular as Pokemon but popular amongst children as well. We have Digimon. Who could forget these digital monsters that could "Digivolve" anytime they want. Sure there have been a few games based on the series but I don't think it's as popular as Pokemon.

Next on the list is none other than Power Rangers. The story line feels so cliche. Redundant, I don't mind adding. Yet, theres about 10 different seasons in total; (Maybe more) ranging from Power Rangers time, Lost in space and Mystic Force. All of the series have one thing in common. Some bad guy wants to destroy the world, but can't due to this awesome 5 rangers. Dude, after 3 or 4 episodes, it will be redundant and boring. Yet children still watch it time and time again.

Next on the list for these kind of shows will be my friend's favourite. Ultraman. OK. I do not know much about this series. The only thing I know about it is some robot will need to fight against some monster from another dimension or such.

they say that the mother of success is failure...

but also due to failure and crash and burns that doesnt always seem possible for people to succeed.... people fail to realise that due to reputation and stress their failure is well juz failure.... they cant pick themselves up after a horendous episode... why do you think there is a suiside rate? because people succeed? no... because peple fail... ... Read moreand failure is a part of life.... yet its so ironic to be called that its well part of success too...even successful business man suiside..... y its coz of their failure.... therefore, if you are not willing to fail do not even try..... trying and learning from mistakes however is the mother of success... be it from life experience... aka failure or other peoples failure.... aka stories on life.... y am i thinking abt this? i'm not studying philosophy... gee brain... i think you think too much.... or is that retorical?

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Its oficial! I suck at chess and I'm not proud of it. I have been falling for tricks which I could see through at a point. Fell for the 4 step checkmate at a point. Don't remember how to counter a simple trap and above all I lost about a year of practise, all went down in the drain despite playing constantly for a while.

Now I'll relate this to a diffeerent aspect. In life, even when you feel you're on top you can feel that in a single moment you'll come crashing. Sometimes, you won't even realise it. I only realise I crashed at the end of this year. But then again, its human to crash but at the same time, a loser stays down a winner picks himself up despite the amount of setbacks and learn the ropes all over again and vow to be better.

Isn't that how we were meant to be to in our christian life? Backsliding isn't a one time hit asteroid falling from the earth. It's a gradual thing; like erosion of rocks. It just erodes slowly; after time. Realization is the first step. Taking action the second.

Dude get a grip!

I realized recently I have been complaining. All the small things in life I have been complaining. I wish I could stop complaining; but on the other hand it's almost human to complain. Complaining by far after much thought and consideration is considered as cowardly. They do not wish to go through changes or to suffer.
