Belldandy

I’ve watched literally hundreds of anime’s (both series and OVAs) in my lifetime. But my most favorite of them all is Belldandy. She is a goddess from the series/movie titled Ah! My Goddess. One thing I like about her is her maturity and her attitude towards other people. She’s so kind, caring, and thoughtful, just a few of her many qualities and attributes that makes her lovable.

Belldandy is exceptionally kind-hearted, even for a goddess. She can easily sense other people’s emotions, and tries her best to be empathetic to all those around her. She rarely holds a grudge, and is always willing to forgive anyone who does injury to her. Her good will is so complete that she is willing to trust everyone completely, save her sister Urd, whom she realizes can often be distrustful.

Belldandy also has another side of herself that not a whole lot of people, much less fans, recognize: That is because Belldandy is exceptionally good at hiding it (even from herself), because it’s a side of her that even she doesn’t expect to have. Belldandy is very possessive of her relationship with Keiichi, while in nearly every other way she’s kind and generous to a fault, she is very clear in stating that she will not give up Keiichi for anyone or anything, as demonstrated several times in the series. The first major development of this side of her is when Shiho was about to steal Keiichi away, and Belldandy’s infamous jealousy storms took over her better judgment. Recently, in the Gate arc, Belldandy makes it very clear how possessive of Keiichi she is. When Gate insisted that Keiichi kiss her, Belldandy did not allow it. “When it comes to Keiichi, I am not so generous.”

Belldandy is also a trifle naive, due in part to her ignorance of certain Earth customs, but mainly to her unyielding trust in everyone. Consequently, she may sometimes appear ditzy or childish in her actions.

Eyes

I have a terrible headache today. Yesterday I went to the mall, again, and bought a meal from KFC which I took home. From noon till night I watched four videos straight, while eating my take-out meal. I was planning to watch another one since its not yet midnight, but my head is aching. It’s because of my eyes, I strained it too much from watching videos. So I just slept, thinking my headache will be gone by the time I wake up. Then it was morning, I stood up, but my head is still throbbing from the pain. So I just lie down on my bed for a few minutes. I tried to relax my eyes by looking on my light blue painted wall (which I painted for a whole week) coz light colors tend to ‘cool’ tired eyes, even if I just woke up. Then I shifted my focus on the window so that I can view further objects to exercise my iris. It is somewhat a routine for me to exercise my eyes. It’s just that I want to take care of my eyes, and I don’t like wearing glasses or contacts. But long term exposure to the monitor (which by the way I can’t avoid, because it’s a part of my work, and its one of my hobby) of a computer can strain the eyes. And for those like me that stare on computer screens for longer periods of time, you may follow the 20-20-20 rule. That is, for every 20 minutes spent focusing on your computer screen, spend 20 seconds focusing on something else 20 feet away.

Movies

Its one past midnight, I’m still wide awake. After watching 3 movies today, one from the theater at the mall earlier and the other two here in my room, I’m still craving to watch another one. I think I’m getting used to watching movies alone. Not like when I was younger, I never watched a movie from a theater without a company. It’s just so boring to watch a movie alone and no one to share it with. Since I broke up with my girlfriend last year, I’ve been going to malls alone, I buy what I want, and I go wherever and whenever without someone restricting me. This is what I want; this is how I lived my life before I had my first girlfriend. I chose freedom over restriction and responsibilities. Should I be happy that I’m back to living a carefree life? I should be, freedom is what I want. That’s the reason why I’m so stubborn. I like to do things I want to do, even if I know it’s wrong. I’m a rebel since birth. I never did follow some of the advices my parents taught me. But obtaining too much freedom has a higher cost, now I’m still paying it with my life. I’d better watch another movie to pass time…
