   ONCE AGAIN, IT'S OCTOBER!
Hey guys! It's October! That means Christmas is 2 months away! But unlike other countries where the Christmas fever isn't that common, here in the Philippines the Christmas fever is getting hot! On the streets I saw a child doing a little caroling to earn some money. Then I saw a store selling big Christmas lanterns with lights! Well, Yuletide season definitely is coming to town!

Anyway, thanks for all those who gave comments on my story. If you never read it, go to my previous post and you'll find it! As I said, the story will continue every week. For now, here's a little profile of the main character in the story, Mato Shimino:
Age: 15
Birthdate: May 12
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 65 kgs.
Occupation: High school student; part-time cashier of his father's convenience shop
Parents:
Hajime Shimino (father; owner of THUMBS UP convenience shop)
Horoko Shimino (mother; currently working overseas for UNICEF)
School: Nihonmori High School
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Likes: Anime shows, soccer, sushi
Ambition: To be a TV writer or animator

If ever you can make a drawing of Mato using the profile above, then I would really appreciate it! (Number 5, would you like to do it?)

I also introduced Shinichi Mamoto. Now, unlike Mato who is a fictitious character, Shinichi is based on a REAL high school student. And that student is in my class. Who is his real-life counterpart? I'm not gonna tell you. Nor will I tell Blue Hawk, Number 5, Ezel, ryosuke, dEaDLy AnGeL, or any other person for that matter.

Now let's go to our ANIME PIC:

Picture from:http://www.animetempy.com
This is a pic from Rune Soldier. This anime will replace Hunter X Hunter starting tomorrow on GMA 7. (Phils. only) And to think HXH isn't finished yet! Oh man! Hope this one is good, especially since GMA might have done this to get good ratings once Ragnarok The Animation is shown on its rival station ABS-CBN! Oh boy! Even anime is included in the network wars!

And I'll leave you with this interesting anecdote from the Reader's Digest. I modified a little bit of it for you to answer.
MORAL DILEMMA by Dick Breit
Consider this situation. You are driving along on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, where you see three people waiting:
1. An elderly woman who is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect mate you've been dreaming about.
Who would you choose, knowing there could only be one passenger in your car? Should you save the elderly woman or take the old friend because he once saved your life? You may never find your perfect dream lover again!


Now think about it first. What would you do in this situation? If you have an answer, you may scroll down.










You have an answer already? Think about it first!










Have your answer now? Okay, I'll give you some time to think.




Finished? Let's continue reading the anecdote.
The quiz was given to 200 applicants for a single job. The one who was hired responded: "I would give the car keys to my friend and let him take the elderly woman to the hospital. Then I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."

Had fun? Well that's all for today! HAVE A NICE DAY!
