A Tale of two girls
Friday, July 13, 2007
And so, i was on crunchyroll watching some old anime, well i will spare the name. There is just this particular flashback scene i must blog about.A is the girl who excels in everything with a cool attitude.
B is the girl who is being laughed at becoz of her high forehead. She also wears a friendship band that A gave her all the time.
Both of them are best friends but of different characters. Scene begins with a flower arrangement class in primary school and flashback happens when they are like 9 years old. So, imagine them as primary 3 kids.
B: I'm not good at these things...what about you Ms A?
A: You are not very good at these are you? being name after a flower. There is a trick to these things
A: In flower arrangement, once you pick the main flower, you pick other flowers to accentuate it. Flowers should not fight to be number one. Hmmm... Lets see..Look over there.... can you see it? thats the rose.
For example, if the rose flower is the main flower, the flowers you pick
which are the baby's breath, are just extras. The rose is the most beautiful
and most popular flower of all, it fits in with any other flowers
And so, B looks at the bunch of baby's breath she plucked and started to look down with low self-esteem. She thought to herself, " A is so amazing. She knows so much about flowers, is stylish and cute. Compared to her, i'm.........( and she looks at the bunch of baby's breath again )
B: If you are the rose, A, then... am i the baby's breath?
A: * frowns and sigh. What are you thinking? If you were to ask me, i would say you
are not even a flower yet, just a bud.
B: yeah...(look down again)
B: but A.................................
A: What is it?
B: Why did you give me this friendship band
A: Because, it would be such a waste for you to wither away as a bud.
A: There is no meaning to a flower unless it blooms.
A: It might turn out to be a flower more beautiful than the rose.
WELL, i kinda changed the story abit because its lengthy. Just want to say that i kinda of understand why some people get so crazed up by animes and some even cosplay the characters out. Many times, success of these animes has a huge link to it telling a tale so close to our lives; and this, a lesson on friendship.
Don't get so worked up~ Its just me
