People say that mirrors reflect more than just your outer selves, but also your inner flaws, troubles, anxieties, and pains. Welcome to the NHK’s cast of troubled individuals does this with empathy, compassion, and, most of all, thorough understanding. https://youtu.be/m20YLde4sHU

Twin Spica was that one anime series that made me empathize and exercise compassion for the core characters, as I laughed, cried, endured strife, and emerged a stronger person with them. https://youtu.be/XFsg47Tmx1c
Satoshi Kon’s sole venture into television, with Paranoia Agent, continues to be a thoroughly inviting labyrinth of thrills, tension, and suspense when dealing with humankind’s uglier, more depraved, more unhinged aspects. https://youtu.be/yiPbrTvnMbc

I dedicate this video to Antwan aka Twan aka Twizz from Let’s Run It Back. Detective School Q or Tantei Gakuen Q was the great yet underrated mystery anime that got me whisked into Animax when I was a 12-year-old sixth grader in 2004, living in Cebu, Philippines. https://youtu.be/S1A7nRcFV5M
I discuss some television highlights from my 2005 Christmas Break when my family and I were in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington DC. https://youtube.com/shorts/IIrzzWkNaeg
In this time of devastation and chaos where people need help more than ever before, it is time for me to briefly reflect on one of the best holiday breaks I spent with my family in Los Angeles. I dedicate this to my father, mother, younger sister, and younger brother who were with me during this momentous occasion. Furthermore, I dedicate this to all of my relatives based not only in Los Angeles but also in San Francisco, basically in California as a whole. May this video serve as a memento of more pleasant times and a reminder to strengthen communities in times of desperate need and devastating pain. https://youtube.com/shorts/IqYX3yV_a4M

My New Year and my penultimate days here in Sydney have been well-spent with a trip to the Harbour Bridge.
