		<title>Cathedral: religion in Gundam 00</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been quite some time since I have finished an anime series, but I (at last) finished Gundam 00 about a week ago. I absolutely loved it, despite the fact that many people think it&#8217;s too emotional or bathetic. I love heroic bloodshed movies, and this series just seemed to be exactly like it.

		<title>Cognitive dissonance in the appreciation of media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The previous post may have been trifling for a lot of people. Some people may even have seen it as an eccentricity. It wasn&#8217;t for me, however: the point of the post was to seek a buyer despite the fact that I was fully aware the book was valueless and worthless for the most part. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m selling a book for a bargain . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to clean my dormitory by getting rid of everything that I don&#8217;t need. I&#8217;ve sold a few of my novels and thrown away a lot of papers, and I only have one book left. It&#8217;s The New Astronomy written by the editors of Scientific American, but its content is no longer new [...]]]></description>

		<title>The entelechy of &#8216;reverse traps,&#8217; and the 7th Philippine Toy Convention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to the 7th Phil. Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention yesterday. The event was actually far from our place, and I had a sore throat. I decided to go there, however, because it is most probably my last year of stay here in Manila and conventions occur only once a year. I actually enjoyed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Between knowledge and entertainment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[History is a nightmare from which I&#8217;m trying to awake. 
-James Joyce, Ulysses

I really think that the time I’ve spent reading Tristram Shandy was a colossal waste. Laughing only three times from more than 700 pages is not a good batting average. I don’t blame anyone for it, especially because I could have dropped and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anime is a powerful medium: anime as a powerful medium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is anyone here unfamiliar with Doraemon? I hope that isn&#8217;t the case. But for those who are, Doraemon is one of the longest-running anime series of all time. The heroes of this series are Nobita, a child struggling with bullying and everyday life, and Doraemon, the eponymous character of the series, who is also robotic [...]]]></description>

		<title>In congratulation, in gratefulness and in appreciation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Blogger&#8217;s Choice Awards have come out, and I am so glad. I won Gold in the Most Thought-Provoking Category! WOOHOO!  I couldn&#8217;t have done this without the votes of fellow bloggers (who I&#8217;ve coerced in some way or another), and I am grateful for their votes and their support. Thank you, my fellow [...]]]></description>

		<title>i am so not dead yet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been writing about literature and not about anime in my previous posts; I thus decided not to write anything unless I watched an episode of anime. Life hasn&#8217;t been lenient on me, however: as my close online friends know, I have had to fix my parent&#8217;s PCs (I&#8217;m pretty versed in the removal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seriously, now to get back to anime &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I know a good deal about physical suffering. But this is the worst of all, to feel your soul dying. -Malcolm Lowry
I didn&#8217;t like Under the Volcano as much as other casual readers or critics did. But with a line like that, I could recognize its status as a classic of 20th century [...]]]></description>

		<title>If I forget thee, reader &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never intended to write a blog post, but this is a personal blog as well as an anime blog, and I believe I have something to say. 
I didn&#8217;t really want to write here: I initially planned to write a review on Amazon about Absalom, Absalom!, the novel I just finished reading, but they [...]]]></description>
