NODAME isn’t a role model after all

Ever wonder why there’s piano related pic on my bio? Well, I do play the keyboard when I was in High School. My dad brought a keyboard back from Japan and forced me to learn how to play that odd sounding electric keyboard.

After a while I found myself playing with the bunch of newbies in our church. We sounded like crap. Everyone in the group were new and learning. We never had a perfect moment, we never synced in. We weren’t friends at all. We were like a group that was formed out of the need for instrument players. We actually never talk to each other, now wonder why we suck.

Anyways, Nodame was one of my favorite anime characters. She is fun, colorful, vibrant, piano genius. That’s how I find her and I wish she had remained in that state.

However, what disappointed me was her weakness in facing absurdities that comes her way. Instead of going through the big waves, she chose  to stay in the island and worst run to the other end of the Island. I find it really frustrating to see my IDOL in that state.

As for me, I like big waves. At times I find myself stepping back from the shore but there’s a bigger force the pushes me back to step twice farther. It is sure normal to feel fear but letting fear burden is the opposite of being courageous.

Life is full of earthquakes and platonic cracks. We should always be prepared for a tsunami. These can be seen as disasters but through these disasters we get to know our selves better. We were able to discover our capabilities and strengths.

So who is excited for the next life’s tsunami?

I definitely got one ahead. Wish me luck on my IELTS exam.
