Heroes 03×10

I’ve just done watching Episode 10 of Heroes Season 3 and it’s getting to be really interesting. The main focus on this episode is the eclipse which had a diminishing effect on those who had their special powers. With the heroes no longer possessing any of their special abilities (Nathan can’t fly, Sylar aka Gabriel can’t move things with his hands, Claire can’t self-heal, etc.), it’s now a challenge for them to go on with their respective mission and how to handle the situation they’re stuck with.

The episode got me into thinking about the normal abilities humans possess. Each of us have our talents and abilities, though we’re not superheroes but we can do more than what we think we can, if only we are more focused and confident, and know how to unleash our inner power and strength. The important thing is to connect to God’s infinite power by faith and prayer and then miracles happen.

Anyway, I’m guessing the eclipse effect is just temporary and once it’s over the heroes’ powers would return to them or could even be stronger. Hmmm…let’s see about that on the next episode.

Genius brood

Ours is a family of geniuses, well not really the Einstein type, but we’re a genius-looking brood. Okay, let me explain. All of us in the family wear eyeglasses. Yup! No 20/20 vision for us. Thankfully, I have my contact lenses so I am not wearing some uncomfortable eyeglasses nowadays. Nearsightedness runs in our family genes, but other factors such as not caring much for the eyes could be part of what contributed to our myopic vision. We’ve all heard our parents admonish us not to go near the monitor when watching TV or not to read without proper lighting or to eat carrots to have healthy and sharp eyes.
Regarding watching TV very close to the screen, it’s best to explain to kids so they will be aware of its harmful effects to the eyes and not sit or stand right next to the screen. With little C being fond of watching Barney nowadays, we just put the center table next to the tv stand so she can’t go near the screen. Another reason why we put an “obstacle” in front of the TV is to prevent her from accessing the front panel of the DVD player. I really wonder why kids love going near the screen? Tsk…if only they understand that watching close to the TV is harmful to their vision.
