New (and Improved?) LaMB

I just got word that Animax is going to be showing a remake of LaMB this September.

Appropriately named 'LaMB Redux', one can only assume that they actually found the time to improve or...(gasp!) actually finish the animation of the series.

Whether this does anything to improve LaMB's reputation or not remains to be seen. Personally, I don't have high hopes, but an improvement is always welcome.

The Greatest and Most Beloved Filipino Woman Who Ever Lived

Cory Aquino (1933-2009)


Former Philippine President
CORAZON C. AQUINO
(January 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009)

We mourn the passing of someone who, neither aspiring for nor even wanting it, became the greatest and most beloved Filipino woman who ever lived.

On a more personal note, I believe that she truly was a great heroine, one of the very few contemporary ones we had. Though I disagree with some of her recent acts and statements, it never degraded her in my perception; she is a hero and will always be one, no matter what happens.

Godspeed, Corazon Aquino. May you finally rest in peace and rejoin your husband in Heaven.
