Last post. I'm shutting this site down, since nobody reads this crap. XD Might open a Tumblr account if I'm up to it.
Bye Blogspot.

God Bless Creativity
Just thought I'd inspire myself more. Yesterday, we were filming scenes for our audio-video presentation for Intro to Communication and in the process, more ideas just kept flowing. We have to convince the viewers that print is the best medium of communication. I'm excited to see the output. Good luck to us.

The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself:
1. To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
2. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
3. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
4. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
5. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. (Well, it is more realistic also to prepare for the worst!)
6. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
7. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
8. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
9. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
10. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
***
Hurray for optimism!
I'm not sure about #2 though. Wouldn't people punch you for annoying them like that? :S

"Maybe We're The Pieces"
Tikkun Olam.
Tikkun Olam.
Translated, it means "repairing the world" or "perfecting the world" and it's a theory in Judaism. I came across this phrase while I was reading "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist", when Norah was explaining the idea to Nick. Basically, the concept of tikkun olam is that the world is broken down into pieces. Pieces, meaning chaos and disorder. And it's each person's job to find these pieces and glue them back together. Or in other words, it's our job to repair this fragmented world.
That idea, the idea that the world is broken, totally appeals to me. And I agree with Norah when she felt that the older people get, the more the world breaks and the more it wouldn't make sense to them. I guess that's the challenge we all have to face as we last longer in this life. We have to overcome this confusion, this disarray, in order for us to 'heal' the world. It's just sad that we're all caught up in our own mess to even look for these pieces.
Although, what hit me most about Nick and Norah's conversation about tikkun olam, was when Nick said this,
And then the chapter ends with Nick's,
...I guess it's really something to think about, huh?

"Maybe we're the pieces."
And then the chapter ends with Nick's,
"Maybe, what we're supposed to do is come together. That's how we stop the breaking."

City Lights And Starry Skies
Last night, I looked up at the sky from my bedroom window. There I saw a lone star, shining brightly. Then I thought, "What a beautiful star! But why is it lonely? Where are its friends?". Probably hidden, eclipsed by the dominant city lights.
City lights, concrete pavements, towering structures, city skylines...Don't you just love the urban scene? and rush hours, the traffic, jam packed malls, and noisy markets...ahhh yes, that's city life. Everything commercial and industrial is here. What more could you ask for? A lot...
I miss gazing up at starry skies and watching the moon cradle her little twinkling daughters. And then there are the trees that stand tall and proud, and are not overshadowed by buildings. I wish to be in a place where birds fly freely, not worried about being shot down. I long to find the serenity that nature gives to its viewer, and the soft clean breeze that caresses the skin. Ah Mother Nature! Where art thou?
Is it possible for a city and nature to live side by side? Yes, it is. I grew up in a place as such. If only other cities would've done the same.

Video Games and Their Positive Effects
For years, it has been claimed that video games are a bad influence to the young ones. Worried parents have discouraged their kids to play these games because they fear that the latter would initiate hostile actions. This could be true in some cases but studies have shown that most hardcore gamers do not exhibit vicious behavior in real life. Furthermore, to assert that all video games contain violence and mature sexual content is an ignorant accusation. In fact, they have many good effects on gamers, young and old. Most people overlook this truth.
Video games not only provide entertainment for the self but also promote teamwork and cooperation when played with friends or family. A father could use video games to bond with his son and bring them closer together. A video game is also said to develop a child's self-confidence as he perfects his gaming skills. His success in mastering a game builds up his self-esteem. Another positive effect is that games contribute knowledge in certain areas and inspire new interests. A gamer could learn more about China's ancient history from the game series Dynasty Warriors. Similarly, video games like Mass Effect and Final Fantasy could spark a person's interest in the sci-fi and fantasy genre. What's more, studies show that playing video games could be a good exercise for the brain and visual skills. Researchers say that video game players have an edge over non-video game players when it comes to the visual attention ability. Furthermore, playing video games practices the user's hand-eye coordination as he focuses on the screen while handling the joystick or controller. The results of one study prove that surgeons who play commit fewer errors than those who don't play.
* Although games may not be the cause of teenage violence, they may still have bad effects depending on the gamer. A child's performance in school is often affected by his video game playing. Also, a child could learn bad language from the games he plays. It is up to the parents to discipline their child, limit the time spent on playing these games, and choose which ones are suitable.

Blah Blah Blah.
I remind myself of that everyday.
Don't give in to what they say. Well, unless what they say is right. Other than that, screw it! Do what you want, say what you want, wear what you want, JUST BE WHAT YOU WANT!

Long Live the King of Pop!
"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."

Most Disturbing Cartoon Character
Which cartoon character do you think is the most disturbing?
For the sake of keeping my blog updated, I'll answer this question.
Let's see...Who do I think is the most disturbing cartoon character? People can think of many possible answers for that but if you ask me, only one character comes to mind. Can you guess who?
The Joker.
He is, no doubt, the creepiest cartoon character ever created. That is, at least in my opinion. You ask why? Well for starters, he's a villain. A cartoon villain usually has a frightening persona or an unsettling behavior that distinguishes him from the other characters. The Joker for instance, is distinct because he is completely INSANE. Might I add that he has this trademark sinister laugh. He's an extremely dangerous and violent psychopath. He committed countless crimes and mercilessly murdered thousands of innocent victims (and no, I am not exaggerating). He's considered as the Batman's archenemy, having been responsible for several tragedies in Batman's life. But that's not all. The thing that bothers me most about him is that, he has no motive. He kills simply for the sake of chaos. And although he has had many chances of finally ending the Batman's life, The Joker lets him live just because "Batman is too much fun". Now that's pure evil for you.
That's it for my pick. So how about you? Who do you think is the most disturbing?

Mrs. Veronica Andrews??
LOOK AT THIS!! I have to get a copy of this!
Archie proposed to Veronica?! Tsk tsk. Bad decision, Archie. Very bad decision.
Okay, I haven't read Archie Comics in years but WOW! This is huge news for the fans! Well, I've always known Archie preferred Veronica over Betty so I'm not totally surprised. Poor Betty though. I could imagine now how the Betty fans would react. I'm a Betty fan myself but if you ask me about what I think, well Betty should just move on and be with Jughead. No really, I'm not kidding around. I bet you ask, "WHY?!". Well I say, "why not?". Yes, Jughead hates women, but he has always had this soft spot for Betty. They'd definitely make a good couple, don't you think?

Trust Me, I'm a Liar
Lie. Lie. Lie.
Yes, I decided to post a blog about lying. Why? I don't know really. It just came to me. Sort of just popped up in my head. See how random I could I get?
Since I plan to talk about this for one whole blog, I find it necessary to define a lie. So what is a lie? Well, to simply put it, it's an untruthful statement and is used for several purposes. It may used to deceive, protect, or punish a person.
Now, I should enumerate some of its different types. Oh yes, there are types. Wikipedia says so. Okay, so here are some of them:
1. Fabrication
This is also known as a made up lie, usually said when the person doesn't really know or is not sure about the truth. I guess one example of this lie would be the statements coming from a hypocrite's mouth. Am I right? I mean, there are these people who are just all talk, you know? They try to make you believe they know this much when in reality, they don't.
2. Bold-faced Lie
A bold-faced lie is one which is told when it is obvious to all that it is a lie. This is one lie that is said when the person is stupid enough to say it. It's like that cliche situation where a woman catches her husband cheating on her, and the husband goes "I can explain. This isn't what it looks like, I'm not cheating on you!". Seriously, what's the point of wasting your breath?
3. Lie-to-Children
It's always entertaining to watch a person try to explain an adult subject to a child. Tell me, when you were younger, what reason did your mom give when you asked how you were born? Did she say a stork brought you? Well, now that you're older, you could go to dear mommy and give her a big "yeah, right" if you want to.
4. White Lie
This is a lie that saves you from trouble and sometimes benefits the hearer. Sycophants are the masters of this lie. You can always count on an ass kisser to laugh at his employer's joke when it's far from funny.
5. Jocose Lie
My favorite type of lie. This is meant in jest, so it shouldn't be taken seriously. Teasing is an example and so is sarcasm. I gotta admit, using this type of lie is fun, fun, fun. It may be annoying to some who hear it but well, it's their problem. They should lighten up.
So those are some of them. If you wish to know about the other types, click here.
Hmmm. Yes, I boldly admit that I do lie a lot. And fortunately for me, only a few notice that. But hey don't worry, I don't lie about anything serious. And I especially don't lie about myself. Everything I say about myself is true. No, I lie cause I just like to enjoy a little bit of mischief when I'm in the mood. Surprised? You shouldn't be. You know all too well that I'm not the only one who lies. Everyone does. After all, lying is inevitable. You can't possibly survive in this world if you're too honest, can you? Well if you think you can, you should watch the movie "Liar, Liar". It's a film about a lawyer, played by Jim Carrey, who has to go through 24 hours of being completely honest due to his son's birthday wish. Watch him struggle, then think again about my question earlier. :)
You're probably wondering what message I'm trying to send out. Honestly when I started typing this, I didn't have a message in mind because like I said before, this topic just came to me. But now that I've had time to think about it, I just want people to know this. I know absolutely well that being dishonest is a sin. But let's face it. The truth hurts, it pierces the heart like a dagger. That is why most people lie. It's because they don't want others to be hurt. They lie for their loved ones' safety and security. They lie because they love. (I don't know if that makes sense.)
Thank you very much for reading. Go now and enjoy your day.

Can't Wait!
A new trailer for the latest Harry Potter movie is up. I cannot wait till the movie comes out! It's hard to contain my excitement with all these amazing trailers. Anyway, here's the new one.
It would be kinda weird going to the cinemas to watch it without my best friends though. Watching a Harry Potter movie with them is tradition! We'd make comments about the scenes together, and point out some stuff that aren't in the books. I remember the time we watched the 3rd movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We couldn't shut up about the many changes they did to the original story. We were cursing the director like crazy!...Ahh, those were the days. Well, I'll definitely miss criticizing with them.
The movie will be released on July 17. I'll post my review right after I watch it. Can't wait!

"In Your Head, ZOMBIES"
...what if a zombie apocalypse broke out?
I know, I know. It's a completely inappropriate subject to talk about, what with all this swine flu news circulating the entire globe. But that's actually what got me thinking, aside from the fact that i watched "Land of the Dead" and read Max Brook's "World War Z". Since way back people are already contracting these unknown diseases. Swine flue, bird flu, SARS, mad cow disease, you name it. It's just a thought but don't you think that maybe, sooner or later, a certain virus would exist to reanimate the dead? And if that happened and thousands of people are starting to get infected, what would you do?
Bear with me. I'm too fascinated by my own imagination that i just have to talk about it.
I won't lie. I did imagine myself being in that horrible situation. Abandoned buildings, people running away screaming, dead bodies coming from here and there, chaos...And i honestly think i won't survive for that long. Even suicide is a better option than fighting to stay alive. Who the hell would want to wake up the next morning to fight off another horde of walking dead bodies?? Cause c'mon let's face it. Zombies, they're unstoppable. Yeah they're pretty slow, you'd probably have no problem taking one out when it's alone. But it's a different story when you're handling a lot of them. You see, zombies are not human. They're not people at all. That's why you refer to one as an "it" and not a "he" or a "she". They're terrible mindless things that act only upon instinct. They do not think nor feel. The only things they are after are fresh human organs. And it's horrible cause they'll keep eating one human body after another. The only way to eliminate a zombie is by bashing or shooting its brain. Shooting its leg, chest or any other part would do you no good.
Wow. Just imagine if every country's being devoured by zombies. Imagine how people would react. Everyone would panic. Some would refuse to accept the fact, and just go nuts. Others would abandon all hope and commit suicide. A few strong-willed ones would pack provisions and get ready for war, or in their case, survival.
Just in case corpses would reanimate, here are the top ten lessons for surviving a zombie attack:
1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Bades don't need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
This list was taken from Max Brook's "The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead". I haven't read it yet, but i've already been trying to find the book for some time.
Well! Thanks for taking your time to read this. I know, it's a really weird topic to blog about, but still. Thanks anyway.
I have one parting question. Let's say you found out that one of your loved ones is infected. You know perfectly well that there is no antidote to cure it and that sooner or later your loved one would turn into one of them. Will you put him/her to sleep before it's too late?

Oh, The Eccentric Me
Well, I was bored. So I decided to try this online personality disorder test. Let's see if I'm truly crazy and need help.
Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Moderate
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: High
Dependent: Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive: High
Here's the URL for it: http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv
So those were the results of the test. Pretty accurate, in my opinion. Oh and yes, I do have OCD but it's not that serious.
Well, at least I'm not totally demented...yet.

I Was Made For "Chasing Dreams"
I usually have dreamless sleeps, but there are some occasions where dreams visit me. What's weird is, these dreams always present the same situation. I keep dreaming about people chasing me. Well, except for the dream I had last night, where I was running away from zombies. They're not exactly people, are they? Anyway, I had other dreams that were unique. On one occasion, I dreamed that I escaped from prison and the cops were after me. on another (and this is no joke), I dreamed that I was running away from the INCREDIBLE HULK. I don't know why these characters appear, but they probably have something to do with my everyday life (the Hulk?!).
Because I was already being choked by my curiosity, I searched for the meaning of dreams online. I came across this site which had an accurate explanation about the dreams I experienced. According to DreamMoods.com, chase dreams are common. They often occur when the person has feelings of anxiety. It said there that my actions in the dreams represent my response to pressure, fear, and stress. So i guess the pursuers in my dreams symbolize what I run from in my waking life. Anyway, the site also explained that the distance between me and the one chasing me signifies how serious my problem is. If my pursuer maintains a small gap between us, then that means my problem will not disappear soon. In addition to the explanation, the site also gave advice. The next time I dream about being hunted down, I should turn around and confront the pursuer. I should ask him why he's running after me. Well honestly, I don't know how I would do that because I don't know how to control my dreams, but it's worth a try.
I have to say, the site was right. That's why I mentioned it had an 'accurate' account on chase dreams. I do always feel anxious. I also hate having to feel all this pressure. Everyone expects so much from me. And what's more, I can't stand coping up with people's disappointment when I fail at something. It's like I'm not permitted to make mistakes. Well, I'm not a genius. They should realize that by now. Since this has been going on for a long time, I learned to not care about it. I turn the other cheek when others try to express their dissatisfaction. I try to mentally turn down the volume of the irritating voices. So I guess that's how I run away from all that stress and pressure. Although I do have another method...FOOD! that's another escape from stress. No wonder I'm getting fat.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
