Our class had recollection last Wednesday, it was fun because we had a lot of activities and games. The first activity was to take care and protect an egg, if we crack it we will get a minus point, but my group did not crack any of the eggs, that was my favorite activity. The two games are pillow game and penguin game. The pillow game, you have to pass it around, before passing it to the next person we have the freedom to do anything with it. The penguin game was more fun there was an it, we sat in our own chairs but we are scattered around the room, but make sure the it doesn’t get your seat when you are swapping seats with another person or else you will be the it. This recollection helped a lot to participate and cooperate in the group. And we all did teamwork to make sure the eggs won’t crack.
I blame Kei for this.

He got a copy of the anime version of this old RPG “Tales of the Abyss” for me a week ago when I craving for an anime marathon. I watched it over the weekend and completely fell in love with the anime. I liked it so much to the point of wanting to play the game. It’s a story about a guy named Luke von Fabre who was destined to bring prosperity to Auldrant, as prophesized by the great Yulia in the planet’s Score. But an RPG wouldn’t be complete without some group trying to stop this from happening or the protagonist’s group of friends (or reluctant comrade in arms) to support him. Tales of the Abyss completely blew me away. The anime was well-paced, has a good mix of humor, beautifully rendered fight scenes and very memorable characters. *sob*
Aside from its engaging story, it has an equally beautiful soundtrack. Its opening song was sung by Bump of Chicken (”K“, “Tentai Kenzouko”) called Karma (or KARUMA) and the lyrics couldn’t have been more apt for the anime. I’ve been listening to it for days already and trying (helplessly) to sing along with it. Just hearing its opening strains in the anime gives me the goosebumps.
