Finally finished Chrono Trigger!

It was Friday when my 11 year old self played it on the SuperNes up to the 2nd form of Lavos. Foolish as I was, I got tired and turned off the game after defeating the 2nd form and realized that there is still a third form to fight. It was kind of surprising that I got that far given the low level, poor equipment and weird preference of not using items. After that day, I don't remember playing with the Supernes again. Finally! After 12 years! O joy!

For the curious, I used Crono, Marle and Robo. Lucca packs a punch but I needed someone with mass healing skills. Marle's just my item user, although haste is not that bad and Life 2 is useful as long as Marle is alive to use it.

I shared to a friend that one discussion I went to wasn't as stimulating as I had expected and posited that it's probably because we all thought about these issues before hand and ended up with the same stances and conclusions. He was surprisingly skeptical about this occurrence and I am taken aback. Which got me thinking, why is he so surprised that a group of people who don't know each other end up concluding the same things independently? Is it his bias against secular individuals? Or is it due to the fact that this group has very different belief systems and each person purport to follow his or her own unique philosophy in life? Maybe it's because in his belief system, people don't agree with other and he's surprised how our heterogeneous group achieve a consensus that easily. My take is that we all end up concluding the same thing because we follow a very short list of clear principles: 1) Every human has rights. 2) Human rights should be protected. 3) Rights of one person should not be sacrificed to ensure the rights of another individual. 4) Government should be secular. Those who have confusing systems have a book or a series of books or even books about the original book or chapters that were removed from the original book.

So nakatapos na rin kami ng isang ICC rotation. At sa pagtapos nito, kailangan namin magsulat ng report. At part ng report na iyon ang reflection paper. Shet. Eto na naman si writer's block.

Alam ko naman ang gusto ko isulat. Di ko lang mahanap ang tamang organization at style ng pag-present nito na lalabas sa nagbabasa na ako ay makatotohanan at pinagisipan ko naman kahit papaano ang aking ginawa. Tipong di lang dinukot mula sa kung saan.

Batman, kailangan ko ng iyong tulong.

huwag tayo magusap about offensiveness. Ang tanging mali sa mundo ay kapag ang isang act ay nag-violate ng human rights. --- I love how I can have fierce debates regarding principles with my friends and still remain friends afterwards.
