I just went touring around some blogs and here's a reply to one of the posts that caught my eye (though it may seem ordinary to most):

Miracles do happen. Case study in question: my voice.

I was down with something not too long ago, and it affected my voice. Then, a few days later, after trying various home remedies, I went to the doctor's and got medication and it got better. Hey, I tried various home remedies. I was willing to do anything to combat the illness and get my voice back.

There can be miracles when you believe;
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.

And, lo and behold, the lyrics rang true.

Another topic now.

I know, she's passé to most of us. Still, it is related.

Who created Sailor Moon? Ms Takeuchi Naoko (Easternised version of the name here).

In Takeuchi-san's story, everyone has a Star Seed; those Star Seeds with the powers of planets and stars are Sailor Crystals, owned by the rulers of the planets.

Let's tweak that a little:

Within every one of us, there is a Soul Crystal. (Star Seed sounds big yet small at the same time; this is one oxymoronic situation I can't accept.)

There are different grades of Soul Crystal:

-> the EmerCryst (Emergent Crystal) is usually possessed by children
-> the SuivantCryst (Suivant, or Following, Crystal) is possessed by more mature people who can't lead yet
-> the LeaderCryst (Leader Crystal) is possessed by mature people who can lead
-> the AngelOECryst (Angel On Earth Crystal) is possessed by mature, endearing leaders
-> the VirtueOECryst (Virtue On Earth Crystal) is possessed by sacrificing, mature and endearing leaders

So far, I know of at least 2 holders of the VirtueOECryst, around 10 holders of the AngelOECryst, and some people with LeaderCrysts.

Something is happening to my Soul Crystal. It's going to overtake someone else's in the near future. I can see it.

That someone else is the 3Z-ian HPN.

So long, Miss HPN Who Got Free Hugs Banned. I would so have wanted to hug Clara. Good luck to you and your Soul Crystal.
