My Salad Days

Isa ito sa aking bagong kinaka-adikan. Ang ganda kase ng kwento. Ganitong mga series ung gusto ko medyo old-english /medievalish ung setting ng era, comedy, action at halong fantasy. Paborito ko na sya. Bwahahaha.

Basta, nakaka-adik sya. Di pa ata ito tapos sa Japan eh. Episode 11 pa lang ako at yung nandun sa source ko eh Ep18 lang. Sabi sa wikipedia hanngang Ep 24 ito at Magtatapos sa last week ng september.

Medyo iba ito sa original na sinulat ni William Shakespeare, kasi nagpapanggap na lalaki dito si Juliet. At kung buhay lang si Shakespeare eh mag nonosebleed sya sa mga eksena at kikiligin sya kung mapapanood nya ang tinatawag na “Legendary Balcony Scene”.

Isa rin sa interesante sa series na ito eh yung opening song nya eh japanese version ng “you raised me up” ni pareng Josh Groban.

Kung naaalala nyo yung kanta ng Spongecola na Gemini eto ung lines na ginamit doon.

“Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.”

Translation: Nakaka – L kang lumaplap! Isa pa nga.

 “You kiss by the book.”

Translation: Galing mo rin lumaplap! Expert!

“Thus with a kiss, I die.”

Translation: Ang baho ng hininga! Pamatay!

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night till it be morrow.”

Translation: Sige batsi na ko, gabi na e. Bukas uli.

nakuha ko lang yan sa isang blog.

Imagine you’re in an airport. While you’re waiting for your flight, you notice a kiosk selling shortbread cookies. You buy a box, put them in your traveling bag and then you patiently search for an available seat so you can sit down and enjoy your cookies.Finally you find a seat next to a gentleman. You reach down into your traveling bag and pull out your box of shortbread cookies. As you do so, you notice that the gentleman starts watching you intensely. He stares as you open the box and his eyes follow your hand as you pick up the cookie and bring it to your mouth. Just then he reaches over and takes one of your cookies from the box and eats it!

You’re more than a little surprised at this. Actually, you’re at a loss for words. Not only does he take one cookie, but he alternates with you. For every one cookie you take, he takes one!

Now, what’s your immediate impression of this guy? Crazy? Greedy? He’s got some nerve! Can you imagine the words you might use to describe this man to your associates back at the office? Meanwhile, you both continue eating the cookies until there’s just one left.

To your surprise, the man reaches over and takes it. But then he does something unexpected. He breaks it in half, and gives half to you. After he’s finished with his half he gets up, and without a word, he leaves.

You think to yourself, “Did this really happen?” You’re left sitting there dumbfounded and still hungry. So you go back to the kiosk and buy another box of cookies. You then return to your seat and begin opening your new box of cookies when you glance down into your traveling bag.

Sitting there in your bag is your original box of cookies — still unopened.

Only then did you realize that when you reached down earlier, you had reached into the other man’s bag and grabbed his box of cookies by mistake!

Now what do you think of the man? Generous? Tolerant? You’ve just experienced a profound paradigm shift. You’re seeing things from a new point of view.

Is it time to change your point of view? Now, think of this story as it relates to your life. Seeing things from a new point of view can be very enlightening. Think outside the box. Don’t settle for the status quo. Be open to suggestions. Things may not be what they seem.

Dexter: Suppose you kept going another 18 billion light years, what if there’s nothing out there? Suppose you kept going another trillion times further, so far out you see nothing. The light from the universe would be fainter than the faintest star. Infinitely cold. Infinitely dark. Sometimes if I wake up and it’s dark, I get really scared, like I’m out there and I’m never coming back.

Erik: Here, hold onto this when you sleep. And if you wake up and you’re scared, you’ll say, “Wait a minute. I’m holding Eric’s shoe. Why the hell would I be holding some smelly basketball shoe a trillion light years from the universe? I must be here on earth, safe in my sleeping bag, and Eric must be close by.”
