The Limelight Hour - Just like Pokemon Part 1

No doubt, the readers are probably determining that Giulia is a bit of a nut. What association can the personalities of a radio show, featuring independent music, possibly have with Japanese cartoon monsters. The oh wise one is here to tell you, lots. So much in fact, that this has to be broken up into a series of posts.

The Pokemon theme song begins "I want to be the very best, like no one ever was" Like the protagonist of Pokemon, The Limelight Hour crew aims to do just that.

Since starting the LLH, not a day has gone by without contact within the group. Sometimes, being away from your computer for 2 hours means having 37 new emails to read when you get back. The LLH is just like taking an extra subject at university, except the contact hours are greater. At the beginning, Lionel, Kevin, Asami and Giulia would see each other almost everyday that there wasn't even a need to say hi or bye anymore, because the next encounter was less than 24 hours later. This also resulted in them canceling social appointments because of exhaustion. Amid the group, there even is a running joke of moving in together so time, traveling and phone bill costs would be reduced.

TRUTH: Lionel, Kevin and Giulia (possibly with the exception of Asami) interact with each other more than they do with their OWN family. However, this also signifies that they themselves have become a family. Lionel is like Daddy, the authority figure ("You do this." "NO NO!" "Good job!"). Kevin is like Mummy, compassionate towards the well being of the family ("What's wrong?" "Are you okay?"). Asami is like Big Sister, the child that talks a lot, but no one really listens to ("Can everyone do some yoga?" "Go to sleep!"). Giulia is like Baby, sometimes in her own world (laughs in the middle of serious conversation because she remembers something funny that happened earlier).

We meet so much, to work hard because we don't want to achieve anything less than our best. The good thing, we have fun doing what we do :)
