Apocalypse : The Second World War

I’ve been so busy with work-related activities that my blog is on a slowdown for the meantime. I wonder what issues are hugging global politics right now, or those within our midst. I wouldn’t be as informed as I am usually is due to my busy schedule nowadays.

Maybe I just put some morsel of thoughts once in a while just to keep things on and running. I'd be so busy till the middle of December.

Last night, after driving my wife and kids to a friend’s despedida party, I kinda still felt the tiresomeness that resulted from a most recent travel to Cagayan de Oro and other Mindanao cities that I went to bed so much earlier than expected.

And the bed was so soothing to my bodice and the night wind was comforting similarly.
And to top it all, National Geographic channel was exhibiting a series I’ve been anticipating greatly these recent days, Apocalypse: The Second World War, a six-part television program about the events and happenstances of World War II, captured by camera while the war was unfolding, with so many clips that were previously unpublished.

Truly, war is so atrocious and so evil. Yet reminding me that anecdote about how war sometimes becomes inevitable and necessary.

I think I’ve finished watching only 3 of the 6 segments. I hope I’d be able to catch up with the other three. I felt that among many documentaries I’ve seen before, I most enjoyed this one. Not that I am a fan of war, if ever there is a term like that, but it was such a mind-opening experience, about the horrors of war, and what form of evil can men actually commit and implement.

   Major Tom, you're funny... watching a war documentary to relax. Pero ang galing... I was able to catch glimpses of it and it's amazing how they were able to document those.

   To Toe : Thanks for the compliment Toe, being funny is one way of getting me in tune with myself, amidst my very busy work schedule nowadays...

   And yes, quite ironic how I find myself relaxing while watching a war documentary --- it is as ironic as war itself .

   With the amount of lives lost and devastation WWII has caused, I wouldn't question if some people thought it was the apocalypse!

   To BW : The way i saw it bro, it was as if evil had set foot on earth and darkened humanity in those years...
