Just a lame step of sacrifice

I have been keeping thinking about Mr. Koenen speech at the Petra 2008 graduation. In order to practice the idea of “sacrifice [myself] for ‘something’”, this was the first thing I came up with: The Prince Caspian Operation (!) (When you read to the fancy name of the operation, please imagine some ethic music appears along with it.) This is the second so-called “operation” since …the KKK operation, which surely wasn’t any racial stuff but simply was… how to get to Kim’s birthday party. The mission was accomplished barely in May 2007(*). However, the mission this time seems to be much tougher.

What in the world is “The Prince Caspian Operation”? – Well, everyone should recognize easily that it should involve somehow with the movie The Chronicle of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I saw any single person who was talking about this movie saying that it was perfectly great (one example should be Kim’s “prince caspian”). This just makes me want to watch the movie so badly. However, there are rumors about the difference between the movie and its original version in the book of C. S. Lewis. Also from personal experience of Harry Potter, I believe that it should be more beneficial if I read the book before watching the movie. The thing is, it’s not so easy to do that.

I am now working with the Bible (currently the book Judges). According to my plan, I will then finish the second half of Harry Potter and the deadly hallows, which have been delayed for more than a year. Until then, The Chronicle of Narnia will be read. Unfortunately, I am not the kind of reader who reads several books at the same time, and I don’t want to change my reading plan neither. Therefore, Mr. Prince in the movie will have to wait for a while. And that’s all there is to it.

That’s not an act of sacrifice! – Well, I think that’s a pretty challenging thing to do (and as I said in the title, it is LAME, isn’t it?). Besides, I suppose I need to get some guts before doing some greater sacrifices, and, I did said that was my first step (at the 1^st paragraph) – means that I have been doing “something” else also.

So yeah, I need to finish this post for now, that I can continue the “mission”. Wish me luck! :D

Some notes for my readers

First of all, I want to apology for the lack of writing for a long period of time (from April 11 till May 31, excluded The lil' pride of the black sheep). Of course there are excuses such as “finals” or “I was focusing on my Vietnamese blog”, but they are not really true. When I heard that someone considered seniors’ blogging as Petra (new) tradition, I simply felt that I didn’t do what I was supposed to. Therefore, from now on, I’ll try my best to maintain my blog weekly, no matter if I’ll have no comment at all.

Secondly, I just recently added a comment at The blessed girl as a description, since there wasn’t any comment and I am afraid of some misunderstanding about the poem. So please read it sometime to see if it helps.

The next thing is about the website rssfwd.com. I didn’t see any email telling me that Kimberlee has her new post. However, I then found the message in the “spam” section of my mailbox. So if it is a case for anyone, you can open the email, choose “Not spam”, it will be moved to your inbox, and you are done.

And the last thing I want to say, thank you all a lot. (Yes, you also, even if this is the only glance you’d spare for my blog.) From now on, I’ll try to observe things more, in order to pull something out of my head to write and post. So if it’s lame, please laugh, but not too hard. I’ll cry.

That’s it. Thank you.
