I love my work. But sometimes people take it lightly as it is. Our job is as tough as the others..
Social media or just merely checking for updates is toxic at it gets.

Kapit Bisig: A Song for Frontliners
So, I will cut the chase!
A previous student of mine with his friends made a song dedicated to our Filipino frontliners who are fighting the Corona Virus pandemic that is happening around the world.
Plus, there is a few words from the group:
We are not forbidden to criticize our government but this is not the time to slander and point fingers to someone whom we do not support.
We may not be theā¦

I'm sorry..
Iām sorry..
Iām sorry.
Iām sorry for the things that I have done.
Iām sorry for being immature.
Iām sorry Iāve wronged you.
Iām sorry Iām making things unfair for you.
Iām sorry for the mistakes that you made, and the mistake of putting fuel to the fire.
Iām sorry for being selfish. I did not notice that until I realized what was happening.
Iām sorry for pushing you away, when you just want to make us close.

Review: Descendants of the Sun's Philippine Adaptation
Review: Descendants of the Sunās Philippine Adaptation
I would say that I am not actually a fan of gluing myself in front of the television, or watching Philippine series especially remakes because they usually overdo things (in viewerās opinion). But recently, the Descendants of the Sunās Philippine Adaptationcame and I also did not bother watching it because I was thinking it would not be as exciting as the original (Korean series). But my, oh myā¦.ā¦

Keep Safe!
Little things that we can do in times of crisis:
Have a healthy immune system
Stay hydrated (drink a lot of water!)
Do not go out unless necessary.
Be men and women for others by not hoarding good that is needed by everyone
Obey the rules implemented by not just by the government, but by the front liners.
Be grateful for the time given to us to spend time with our family.
And as Iāve seenā¦

Ā I love watching Anime and just recently dive in back to reading manga that I found online. Although there are good mangas that are still ongoing, I always check on the completed section because I just donāt like to wait and prolong my agony. Anyways, I just found out two weeks ago about the manga āLove so Lifeā by Kouchi Kaede at Mangakakalot and just dive in to the story after reading the description.
āShiharu Nakamura is a high school girl who works at a daycare where twins Aoi and Akane Matsunaga go. The twins are in custody of their uncle Seiji, because their father abandoned them after his wife suddenly died. One day when Seiji goes to pick up the twins from day care, he notices that they are particularly attached to Shiharu in comparison to the other workers. He hires Shiharu as their personal babysitter as he is very busy with work.ā (cited from wikipedia)
So basically, the story revolves around Shiharu Nakamura and her experiences beyond than just babysitting. It talks about her encounters on what is like to be a part of a family aside from the orphanage where she is from, the realizations that she discovers along the way as she became attached to the twins, and of course discovering what is it like to love someone. Hmmmmā¦ although there is a really serious thing going on about her and Seiji (which it took a loooooooooot of chapters before he finally confessed and for Shiharu to realize and acknowledge her own feeling), I like it how it didnāt overlap the story and have it very light.
Now, on we go with my own review:
Aoi and Akane Matsunaga
Let just make this one clear: who doesnāt love these bundle of fluffiness? I literally want to dive inside the manga and just pinch does chubby cheeks! I cannot start anything without mentioning these two. They really are the star of the manga alright!
Aoi and Akane both shows what we are and our siblings in daily life (theyāre just cuter given that they are toddlers). They have their similarities (food, animals, shiharu, toys) and differences (wherein Aoi is mature than Akane as an example). They always come to the end of the term to compromise on the things that they want to do, at the same time fight like some WWII wrestlers when they both like something that they donāt want to share, when someone starts a fight, or when just one tried to outsmart the other one. A lot of scenes that I can think of:
Yogurt incident āAkane (being a big eater) finishes eating her yogurt and tries to take some from Aoi. Aoi in return, tries to bite the whole face of Akane
Baby Akira in the daycare center āAkane wants to play with baby Akira but Aoi just push her aside to have his turn.
Shiharu āAoi always pushes Akane off from Shiharu so he would be the one sitting on the lap.
And even they fight, they are always there for each other. Here are some cute scenes:
Broken Doll incident āwhere Aoi was the witness (I laugh so hard at this chapter)! Mana happens to like Akaneās doll and got themselves into a little tug-of-war. The dollās head got detached from its body (Aoi witnessing the crime!). As Akane tried to retrieve the doll, Aoi bitten the Manaās arm as revenge on what she did.
Doing an errand āAkane and Aoi were on their way to the convenient store when they saw a big dog in the way. Akane got scared, sat down and started to cry. Aoi sat in front and just told his sister āletās goā. Holding hand and making sure his sister was fine, they continue their journey to the convenient store.
Moving out ādayā āThis scene really made me cry. It was the scene when Akane realized what moving away actually means and started to make tantrums and not going. Shiharu cried and apologize to the twins because she canāt do anything. Being the matured one of the two, Aoi takes out his hand to his sister and just said āLetās goā.
Between the two, Aoi was the matured one in the two and I just canāt help but to feel heartbroken especially on the chapter that talks about them moving to their grandparentsā house. While Akane was just being the usual carefree and cheerful twin who is excited about moving because she still doesnāt know what actually āmoving outā actually means, Aoi was the gloomy one and was noticed immediately by the elders and saying how sad it was for a kid as young as him knows the pain already from the concept of āmovingā.
Aside from showing siblings relationship, it shows really what it is for a life of a toddler. Unlike adults who knows about right and wrongs, and consequences towards one owns action, toddlers donāt have that concept yet because all they know are eat, play and sleep. They imitate actions and words of others (that is why we should always be mindful when there is a kid around), and when they grasp already the meaning of things, they act it out and try to correct themselves.
Ā Relationship is on the sideline
Although it is clearly shown in the manga (yet the confession is on the later part), there is already a thing going on between Shiharu and Seiji in the earlier chapters. One nice thing about this manga is that they keep it PG and just on the sideline of the story. I donāt want to say the clichĆ© lines like āage doesnāt matterā because of their very big age gap, or the tag line āthey are meant to beā because it is like a given fact plus some flashbacks that they happened to meet before.
I just like the idea that aside about thinking about not just his image and the possible thought coming inside Shiharuās mind, Seiji respects Shiharu. He is just merely confessing that he has fallen in love with her for a long time and just let her continue to live her life. He did not pressure her, and even suggest trying to date guys with her age.
In relationships, respect is very important. Aside from trust and other values, it is one of the reasons that I believe that you truly love someone. Also, as the person that is receiving this amount of respect, it is overwhelming to know that someone loves you more than you actually think.
Seize the Moment.
It is important to enjoy every moment that we have in your lifetime. Regardless if you are still a toddler who does anything and everything, a young adult who still tries to discover what is it like to be independent, or matured and working individuals, letās just try and enjoy our life. It is important to know what are the right and wrong, the consequences of our actions, but it is not a hindrance for us to do what we want and love.
For Shiharu, although she is still in high school, she already thinks and acts maturely but that should not stop her from doing things she wants to do. It is amazing to see that she is happy for little things and the time when she is with the twins. Through her, I see what actually Seizing the Moment really means.
Seizing the moment is not just about enjoying the moment, but living the moment. You would able to appreciate the whole experience when you are not living and feeling the moment.

So yeah, I guess this is all my review for now. Like usual, I have a lot of things that I want to say but I cannot fully express it yet.
If you havenāt read the manga, or not a fond of manga, give a shot in reading it. I assure you it is fun. Oh and by the way, there is an ongoing sequel of the story.
ātill next time!
