Comments on Recent Events

First off, it's been quite a long time, it's been, well, a trimester, since I last blog. I miss doing this. In fact, during my hiatus, I've been thinking of writing about stuff, a lot of them.

My blog is surprisingly inactive right now, because of a lot of stuff like... School work and playing with my new Playstation 3(my dad bought it on Thanksgiving Day Sale). Speaking of which, I heard Sony's losing money for every PS3 unit sold, Microsoft is breaking even for every XBOX360 sold while Nintendo is earning a lot for every Wii unit sold. Wow. Must be a lot of kids these days. (Ooooh! Pikachu! HAHAHA! Joke!)

Oh look. I've strayed away from my topic. Anyway, I'm blogging right now because I think it's appropriate and a damn lot of things have happened. Maybe I'm gonna comment on some. In fact, so much has happened that I didn't even get the chance to blog about my favorite soap opera(Kahit Isang Saglit) while it was still showing.

So where do I start? I didn't think it was this difficult to think about that. I thought I had it all figured out. Seriously. When I read Sir PJ's most recent blog post, I got a bit jealous and then took my wireless mouse, inserted it into a USB port and took my mouse pad. I thought it would be easy. Hmmm...

Recession in the United States of America

Not so sure about this, but I think the US admitted that they are currently in a recession which began sometime last year. Did they?

No wonder the exchange rates were going strong last year. Well, nearly a year after, they pull the economies of all nations down along with them. I remember blogging about how exchange rates are better off. But who cares, right? Everyone's going down now. The Philippine Peso(Php), which reached a 40 something rate a few months ago, is still the same right now. To some filipinos that is. Truth is, the only thing the same is the 1st digit, or 4. The current rates are around 46 and 49. That's nearly 50.

Enough of the Php thing. Again with America. Why the crisis?

My teacher in Accounting, Dr. Marivic Manalo, put it this way: Unpaid Debts.

Well, easy for the most part, right? You have pests who can't pay their debts. How's that possible? Well, in my opinion, offers make look stuff cheap, claiming low percentages of interest, but there's more to it than that. Sure, in the long run, for example, maybe people can buy a car, for example, 10% down payment, 0.5% interest. It's possible IF the only cost you have to pay for is the car itself.

It's quite easy to be deceived by that. You'd have to! I mean, it's quite a tempting offer. But once you try to envision your cost, you'd probably just plan for the cost of the car itself. It's sad how it's so stupid for someone to think that way, but even sadder is the fact that people think like that.

Once you buy the car, you'd have to incur more costs, such as Gas & Oil, Repairs & Maintenance, Insurance and Taxes. Since you forgot to think of those other costs that come with the car, you'd run out of cash in the long run. Since some debts have collaterals with them, the bank you owe would instead take your properties. Well, after that, the banks consider you paid(I think).

But really, are those properties you have, i.e. furniture, equipment, houses, what the economy really needs? Last time I checked, money was the most important thing circulating in an economy, not tables, chairs, computers, lots and houses.

Why is that? These high-cost properties are not liquid. They are not, say the least, not near to being cash in form, they can't be easily converted into cash.Since money isn't circulating very well in the economy, it would grow weak, thus, the recession. Well, that was a guess, but it sure looks plausible (I'm the one who wrote this, so, you can still doubt it).

America's First Black President

Well, in case you live in a cave, you must've heard that Barack Obama is the president-elect. Change has come to America, I guess.It's quite common for the ordinary man to go with Obama. He's young, and likeable, and he looks quite... Strong. Charismatic.

He's a democrat. That's one of the reasons he won. I think George Bush is not a very popular president, and he's a republican. Why would America go for another 4 years with a republican after one of them sent them to war with Iraq? An unnecessary one at that.

He's dark. Not evil-dark. Skin-dark. That is change in it's truest form. You don't just want to change the way the system works. You also want to change the appearance of the person in charge. Sounds stupid, right? But let's face it, a part of you wanted Obama to win because of his skin color.

He's young. He has a better distance from the current generation, so he undestands what the younger people want. We all know that even the old people want the young ones to finally step up. Obama stepped up. The chronologically advanced people must've liked that, so they voted for him.

There are probably more reasons why Obama won, but those just might be too technical. To tell you the truth, I'm not aware of their plans.

Kahit Isang Saglit (Even Just For A Moment)

Well, it's the best soap opera I've ever watched. It's... Just right. The mix of action, drama, a little bit of comedy at times made this one amazing. Since it is set in two countries, there is a noticeable blend of cultures as well.

It's so good due to the fact that it had very surprising twists and meaningful ones, at that. The short time it had only added to my amazement, because the people working on this were able to deliver a deep story without haveing to make people wait too long or rush the revelations.

This is a huge step towards the globalization of the Filipino people because we're trying to move forward into the global stage. Kudos to ABS-CBN for this. GMA was unable to make the bold move first. They'll be known for this, like Neil Armstrong and the 2nd guy on the moon, respectively.

My 2nd Trimester Just Ended

I'm just waiting for my grades now. The 2nd term was quite a ride and it was way more difficult than the 1st one.

The supposedly group or pair efforts were squeezed into one me, again. The big difference from the 1st term is that I don't ask for money anymore. Well, in the latter part of the 2nd term, that is.

It's quite a natural thing, but I close this term with a smile. I'm happy to have worked with the intelligent people (Gregorio "RJ" de Lima III & Diane Yu). At least when these people worked with me, I felt how it was to work as a team in college, because normally when I hang out with my friends, I work alone in exchange for $$$, although that has lessened, 'cause for the most part, I don't trust my fun friends. So after this term I could probably classify my friends in two, "Fun Friends" and "Smart Friends".

Next term when I'm classmates with Robert in every single subject, I want to feel again what I felt when I worked with RJ and Diane. They don't know I have a blog, but what the heck. I just want to mention them.

Unlike last term, I don't think I pulled off another Accounting Salvation. That sucks but I gues that's how it works. It's just that it feels bad to know that I'm unable to make the people around me better. Part of that, however, was due to my recent skid in the Accounting Subject. I did not focus very well on the subject due to professor issues and the much more difficult subjects, but that's that. I just hope I can make it to level 3.

Closing

Well, this is it for now.

I'll be more active now since it's quite a long break and we won't be bringing the PS3 to the States. Have a nice day. Thanks for reading!

Heroes are Overrated

Hi! Just watched the Dark Knight so...

Heroes are Overrated

Having watched The Dark Knight last night and then got a bit drunk last night(just a bit, unlike that blockbuster grad ball night), I got a good idea for a blog. And by the way, I was inspired by the movie.

You see, we all want to play the heroes because this is our story. This is our life and we definitely wish to be the hero, but really, that's not it.

To be a hero, or the hero requires us to save the asses of people. It's not just saving lives, but saving people from embarrassments and whatever you can save them from. Heroes are not amazing. Being one is all about being a role model to your people or your society, projecting the good qualities and traits, and whatever the result of your actions, people would still look at you as the hero.

This is not remarkable, because what happens is that the means justify the end. Doing the thing that is right in the eyes of society does not always give way to the much needed end.

There will be moments that we should just let the end speak for the means.

Bruce Wayne did not always do the right thing in the eyes of the people, proved by them saying the Batman should just take off his mask and turn himself in.

And what happened? He ended up saving their asses. He invaded the privacy of the people through the use of an enhanced sonar, that was a wrong thing, but hey, he couldn't have saved the people of Gotham without it.

Basically, doing the right thing does not always yield the needed results.

We have to do what the world needs us to do. We have to be what the world needs us to be.

The people do not always know what is good for them. All they do is cheer or boo what a single person does, clueless of the results.

Let the end justify the means. Let's play the role of Dark Knight, let us be what the people around us need us to be, not what they want us to be. The desire of the masses is not always right.

So if you have to look dumb in front of an audience and have the production crew shout at you, do it if you know if it will save the lame act and you'll get the audience into it.

Truth be told, heroes are overrated. They couldn't avoid that their images be destroyed. Heroes are mere puppets of the masses.

Be a Knight, and you act on your own, not caring about what people say, but the finale will always be something deserving of a standing ovation.

Blink

Hi. Nearly 2 weeks after not blogging, here I am again.

In those two weeks, I was so damn busy with school work that I didn't have time to blog. College is damn tiring. You might think I'm not busy right now, but I really am. It's just that I'm having a hard time with a Sociology assignment which is really pointless, since sociology is a minor subject which doesn't have anything to do with my major which is Accounting.

Blink

I've already done an essay on this actually, with the title being "Blink Of An Eye". It was by the way a requirement by my english teacher. This is going to be different though. The essay I submitted was utterly self-centered, as it was all about me.

So a blink is the super quick closing and then opening of the eye. As in, super, super duper fast.

I think we've all experienced incidents when you know, something is suddenly something else, or someone is suddenly someone else. It's so fast you can compare it to a blink. In our life, there really comes a time when everything suddenly becomes different.

Routine, difficulty, people, everything. I think it's easily a high impact thing when you don't expect them or when you didn't want them.

I actually want to share my own experience.

Coming in from high school, I didn't expect college to be as difficult to cope with as what's happening to me right now. I expected it to be quite the same, aside from the fact that I'll be using public transportation instead of being taken to school and being fetched from school.

Back in my class at high school, I was the noisy guy who probably knew so little that he had to speak too much so he can at least say something who was not at all shy. I was also the guy who helped no one, because I was known to be a bit irresponsible. I always had to ask my classmates, especially the smarter ones, what we had to do or what would happen the following day. I was a fun guy too, usually laughing, cracking green jokes with my friends, and they laughed because they thought it was gross, and some would laugh at my impressive bragging skills. My teachers had known me as a person who likes to bug them. I had conservative friends. 6:00pm arrivals at home. Oh my God. Sorry to reminisce.

Then, less than 2 months after graduation, I'm in college. The silent guy. Smart guy. Ask-Him-What-The-Assignment-Is-And-How-To-Answer-It Guy. Initially known as a guy who doesn't have a clue about sex. Only a few teachers notice me. My english teacher even looks like she hates me. The people who I hang out with nowadays are the exact opposite of conservative. 7:15pm arrivals by bus and standing in it.

It all happened so fast that in the first week thoughts have been running in my mind.

"What did I get myself into?"

"Can I handle this?"

"I miss my old life."

Then again, folks what would I get if I complain like that?

You'd pick me up in the streets. I'd be hungry. I'd be dirty.

Basically, I have to do it. It's like medicines which taste bad. You have to swallow it so you can get better.

Abrupt changes really happen in life - you can't take it away. I can not, however, teach anyone not to be shocked by abrupt changes, simply because you can't warn someone as easy as just saying to him or her "be ready". No matter what happens, these changes will happen with you not being totally prepared.

It's how we take the changes along with our lives and live with it. It all depends on how we handle it. At first, I found myself being sad most of the time, missing my classmates and my school, but it all eventually fades away with acceptance, like what I have said in my other blog entries. Change, like most people say, is the only thing that does not change. If we accept our fates well, we can live our lives with so much more ease, whether our fates contain abrupt or gradual changes.

We have to be the ones to adjust to changes. We can never wait for the changes to adjust to us, because that never happens. If you keep whining, nothing will happen. We all just have to move on.

To Dream

Hi. 36 hours till the first day of classes. My streaky blogging ends now.

To Dream

Simple topic. The dream I'm talking about is not the dreams we have at sleep. It's about our ambitions. Our goals in life.

Dreaming is a big thing. You know, people say that you should dream all you want 'cause it's all for free. It's big because it's a factor that sets the directions of our lives.

We want to become our dream. Become who we want to be. Do what we want to do. But dreaming is only positively big for those who are able to become their dream. Big for those who can look back and say to themselves they have indeed become the dream. At that point, dreams give birth to a feeling called hapiness. While some may have difficulty describing it, I consider it a feeling that has the ability to make a person smile.


It's the complete opposite for those who do not become their dreams. Dreams turn to nightmares. Frustrations. It's negatively big. It only makes a person regret his life. This happens when you're contented with dreaming. It doesn't get anyone anywhere.

Dreams are things that we know we can do. You can't say you want to become a singer but you don't have a good voice. Acceptance plays a huge role in dreaming. We must accept we are not capable of all things. If you're naturally inable to do something, then don't aspire to do that something.


If you dream of something you can do, don't wait for the dream to become itself, because that never happens. You have to do it yourself. Goals are achieved through hard work. Dreams only guide us. It's as simple as being in a cave, and you see light at the end. Last time I checked, the light never came to the person inside the cave. You have to approach that light.

The light is your dream. You want to get there, so you'll have to walk or crawl. Caves aren't smooth. You have to work hard. If you don't, you'll be stuck in the darkness. You'll be one of the many, yes, many, who regret what they've done to their lives. Don't wait for that to happen.

Do something about it as soon as, perhaps now.

Dreaming is the only the beginning. It's the easiest part. Living it is the most dificult. And to become your dream, is the best fulfillment of all.

Did David Cook Deserve The Win?

Hi, I'm blogging today to talk about the results of American Idol. So, really,

Did David Cook Deserve The Win?

To be honest with you, I'm not a fan of either one but I know in myself that I wanted Archuleta to win. Again, in all honesty, I do not hate David Cook. I think he's a teriffic performer with a nice voice. He has that rock star capability but he can hit some of the higher notes. I can't deny that, and I can't take that away from him.

I have a bit of a problem with his voice though. I really think he sound like Lifehouse's lead vocals, or maybe hat's just me. I hear a few bands with the same style. I'm not sure what I should call it, but it some kind of "making the throat rough", so when the voice comes out, it's a bit modified.

That's not going to be by any chance a basis for my answer to the question/topic.

I truly believed after watching the top three performance night that Cook would win the title. There was no doubt he was the best performer, and he outmatched the guy with the same name as his. All Cook had to do was ride his momentum and Archuleta would have been done for.

All my beliefs changed after the final performance night.

D.A. came out on stage hungrier than D.C. It didn't show if you just watched them. A balladeer doesn't have the same charisma as a rock star.

If you just watched the Davids, it would show that DC wanted it so much more. DA was just a small guy with a good voice, nothing more. He would raise his hands a bit, and that was all. You can't "feel" Archuleta.

If you listened to them, it would be a different story. David Archuleta, in all his 3 songs was at his best. It's as if the top 3 performance night was so long ago. DA showed up. He showed to the world what an American Idol is supposed to be like. Talented. Determined. Driven. He showed us his best. That's what the show is about.

To be fair with David Cook, I think he's still the better David in terms of talent at this point in time. DA may be young, but that won't cut it.

The better David in the finals?

Archuleta.

David Cook, no matter how teriffic he is, didn't flash before our eyes how magnificent he can be. I heard it from him. He didn't want to do something he's already done before. It's nice to hear that from him. He wanted to try something new. At the finals. That wouldn't work. And it didn't. Really. American Idol is about finding a star, according to Simon, and in the finals, DC didn't shine very well. What the people wanted to see is not a new David Cook. People wanted to see David Cook at his finest, rockin'! I expected him to bring the house down. Instead, he sang a weak song to end his three chances. Bad song choice. It kept us from seeing the David Cook we wanted to see.

Archuleta gave us possibly his best night, while Cook tried a song or two that hindered his magnificent form from landing into our eyes and ears.

What DA did was he improved his style and gave it to the audience. It was a very good performance, excellent actually. He wanted to make sure he'd be the American Idol by doing his best in his style.

DC didn't show up. If there was a fourth song, maybe he'd do Soulja Boy's "Crank That".

For me, Cook did deserve the win, but he doesn't deserve to be called better than Archuleta. While it shows, Cook didn't beat Archie in the finals.

Good thing, when Cook goes on to record songs, he won't be deciding on the songs he'll do. We won't hear him rap. So, it was OK, I guess.

Caring Too Much

Hi! It's me. Again.

Caring Too Much

This is one of the topics that I really have experience in. I think I can't go wrong. But that's just me. Of course, I'm not always right. And of course, I only said that to make people who are included in this topic, well, shut up.

I absolutely have no problem with people who care for others. I actually love 'em, because when a person's having any kind of breakdown, be it emotional or something else and you're there to "catch" them, that's cool. You're being unselfish.

That being said, the title will not really indicate which person I'm going to "take down". In my blog, there's a difference between the people I hate and the people I try to teach a lesson to.

Now, onto the problem. You see, caring too much has its downs, no matter how much people would look up and say to you you're such a kind person. In an exaggerated case, you might even be the toy of the person you care for, after for example, catching that person after a big emotional fall a year ago. "Do this for me, carry this for me, act like a dumbass". Oh sorry, that wasn't an exaggeration. That really happpen(s/ed).

Look. If you think that doesn't happen, look at very young kids. If their parents spoil them too much, they tend to be, well, uhhhhmmm... Spoiled. "Daddy, buy me this. Mommy, carry me! Daddy, let's go to Disneyland! Mommy, let's go to the park!" I hope you see now. There's quite a similarity.

The person cared for too much becomes spoiled, and that's a truth if that person can't appreciate. It's also true if that person, despite being overcared(is there such a word?!) for, did not recover from her/his breakdown. After about a year, that person can't let go. That's a big problem. That's why the person can't appreciate afterall. Because it's ineffective. There are A LOT of other reasons why a person can't appreciate. And, to tell you the truth, most people can't appreciate even if they say they do.

The spoiled person becomes a silent monster. Wow, you must be wondering if I had the right to say that. HOW?!

That person becomes, well, used to the fact that he/she is spoiled. She believes she can never lose, and that she's always the hero(ine). She also believes she's the know-all. Sorry I forgot the "/He" after the she's, it's just too long.

So, for example, a guy cares for a girl so much that after, like I said above, had an emotional breakdown, he "catches" her. After a year, he becomes a toy. So the girl has a rough year after her breakdown, after being left by someone she loved(gee, I don't know, could be a guy.). After a year, the girl hasn't recovered yet. She's still in love with that guy/person. After all the effort the guy did, the girl still can't appreciate.

Up until now, the girl still doesn't know what happened. "Why did he leave me?"

The guy tells her it's as simple as "I just don't love you". The girl thinks, "Unacceptable."

That's the problem with spoiled people. They never accept anything. They think it's all about themselves.

What happens in that example is that she destroys the images of the people she thinks are involved. They always want to win. No matter what. They become the silent monsters I told you. People like that don't directly destroy you. They destroy you by giving to the people your bad side.

They can't accept direct truths that are against them. Like if they're unwanted, if they're unloved. It can't be as simple as that for them. They always need a reason. Those two things are abstract and there's no real explanation.

They can't have everything they want. They can't take that. If they can't have what they want, they talk to everyone else. "What do you think of me? In your opinion, why [insert scenario here]?" If they don't get the answer, they cry and that's when they turn to silent monster mode. When they do that, there's no sign. You won't recognize it.

That's the problem with people who have monster tendencies. You never know if they really are monsters. They may look innocent, arguably beautiful, but then again, you can't judge a book by its cover. The inside may be bad.

That's why you can't care too much. You never know who would turn out to be a monster. You might even end turning them into monsters just because of your saintly trait. It's ironic, but that's how it is.

Just accept it.

Dig Deep

Hi. I'm blogging rapidly because I'll already be going to school on May 26.

Dig Deep

I'm a young guy, 16. I just graduated from high school. Despite being young, I've seen a lot of things.

Corrupt government. Cheaters. Whiners. Dishonest people. Then there's something normal to my age, SCL.

You must be wondering what SCL is.

So
Called
Love

Wow. You must think I'm a hater. Please let me finish.

It's so called because I say it's not true.

I see a lot of people flirt in school, honestly, but it's not a yuck for me. I perfectly have no problem with people who want to tell the world they're in love with somebody through gestures.

Sometimes, young persons have tendencies to say they're already in love, or that they're already taken. Sometimes, you think you're already in love or you're aready being loved by a simple sharing of secrets. Ask one of my friends. I just don't want to mention names. Love as I see it isn't that low. Ask couples everywhere. Almost everyone's married not to their high school sweethearts because they find their true love somewhere else.

I don't know, really, because I've never been in those relationships but I think I'm smart enough to observe. Some might think it's cool to have boyfriends or girlfriends. It's shown in the media. Movies usually feature a guy having a girl even if it's an action or suspense movie. They make it look easy and cool. Friends may even force you to So Called Faill In Love. What happens is people fall in love for others just because it's cool and it's a trend.

I even have a friend who said our group wasn't cool because we didn't court girls or give any of them gifts. ..!..

Getting back, I also see some pairs in school. I also see websites of people who declare their very in love. Again, no problem with that. I just think that if you admire someone, it's not love instantly. Love's not like instant noodles. To admire someone is actually very low.

You admire certain aspects of the person and that person's personality, but you never really love the way that person is. When you admire and you find something not very cool about that person, people tend to be "turned off".

There's also something about mutual understanding. It's when someone admire someone else and it just so happened that both of them admire eachother. It's just two way admiration actually and it's the same thing. They both think it's love and they become temporary "lovers". When one of them does something off the hook and then the other finds out, they break up for a while. When they go back together, it's not as solid and, you know where it goes from there.

Speaking of two way SCL affairs, young people fall for reciprocated infatuation.

Some people also "fall in love" quickly. It's not that easy. I think love is best tested first. Ya know, get through all the difficulties so it's strong in the end. Experience with eachother matters. If it happens all too fast, it also goes down just as fast. Again, love isn't instant noodles.

Others take SCL too seriously that they cry too much for nothing. They think they're hurt but they're not. I don't know, but if some people try to imitate authors and make stories or essays about they SC Loved ones, that's just stupid.

Dig deep first if you think you're in love. Think about it and consider how you really feel. What I have given you might be of help. If you're one of those people above, I hope you'd understand.

In spite of the things I typed, I still know it's not all SCL. Young people can also fall in love. If you know in yourself that what you're feeling is love, go ahead end express yourself. I'm happy for you.

On the other hand, if you now know it's not really love, stop the joke.

Stop kidding yourself. Get a life.

Success

Hi. I'm blogging. Again.

Success

This is actually an issue(if it is) that most people nowadays understand. For convinience, I'll say, it's simply being able to achieve a goal. Here's the thing. Success can be viewed from two different angles.

1. Success, as you yourself sees it and
2. Success, as others see it.

The problem lies in those two, not in defining the word itself(success).

Here's how there are two angles. According to the definition, it's being able to achieve or meet a goal. It's not just you setting goals for yourself. Other people who watch us have expectations too. It becomes their goal for you.

You got that? I hope you did.

Example. You happen to have a goal. Due to the hype of American Idol nowadays, I'll use it.

You're a good singer and you want to know what other people think about your voice because you're not really sure. You say to yourself, "I'm going to audition and I am going to hollywood!". Those people who don't watch the show, going to hollywood is like phase 2. Right there, I guess you've made a goal for yourself.

Your mom, a woman who would like her child to become a sensational recording artist, tells you to make it and she wants you to make the finals. Now she has a goal for you too. We just picked up the two things I enumerated.

After auditioning in your hometown(i.e. Las Vegas), the three judges say yes, say you have a lot of talent and you are going to hollywood. Then they give you the ticket. You and your mom are both happy, as you have just been sent to hollywood. You're pretty much done with your business, but of course, you wouldn't waste an opportunity, right?

Come hollywood week, you get outsung by your peers. So when the results come out, the three judges say you're just not ready for the bigger things ahead. You're happy because your voice was acknowledged and t'was commended, but you just weren't ready.

It was good. Dream done. You made it to hollywood. Your voice was good. You had a chance to be shown on TV. It's time to move on, live out your life before you auditioned for the show. That was good while it lasted, you were thinking while in the elevator going down. Goal accomplished.

Back home, your mom's disappointed at hearing the news. She scolds you for not giving your best. She criticizes you and says you're not a hard worker. Yad-yada.

Even though you've accomplished your goal, you come back to your room with your head down.

You get online on your messenger and a lot of people start talking to you.

"Too bad."

"Oh well."

"There's always next time."

"You could've done better."

"I'm sorry."

Sickening messages of pity, discouraging, you thought. You then realize, they had other plans for you. You know that when you walk through the streets, you're not that cool person who they see on TV anymore. Same old you.

True, some people will acknowledge your accomplisment. Some won't. Of course the negativity of it will affect you more. Hey, if you made it through, maybe everyone might praise me. Not just some.

Having some problems on success, you go to google and you search for success. You come across a blog entitled "Gift of Thought" and you start reading.

Maybe I can help you.

With that example, I can say people think too much of how people think of us that we give too much of ourselves to them. After an achievement, we should just be proud of what we have done. We don't do things for them all the time. Keep your heads up.

It could be the other way around too, because sometimes others expect less than what we have in mind, but you still can't mind them too much. We can't have them tell us, "Well done, that's enough.".

I think that we know in ourselves which is fulfillment and enlightenment. It's our call if we stop or step on the gas.

We can only care for others if they're really affected by what we're doing. We should check if we're stepping on people but not to the extent that they'll be the ones running our lives.

We only get one shot at life. Let's make it ours.

Rant of the Day

Did you watch Game 6 of the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs between the Hornets and the Spurs?!

Horry hit West! A desperation move by the champions. They really want to retain this one. If San Antonio goes on to win this series in New Orleans, game 7, I wouldn't be happy. This is Chris Paul's time. He will knock off the champs. Horry had to make another dirty move after his blow to Steve Nash last year. They had to get Amare and Diaw off the court before they could win on the road. If West won't be 100%, I'd say f*ck you Horry! That would be the 2nd year in a row that your Spurs beat my West teams!!!

I'd have to say that was a f*cked up dirty play! Definitely unnecessary! Get a life old man!

Thanks for reading!

What is Blind?

Hi! I came home just yesterday from Boracay. Right now I just came from driving school. Just had my orientation. Speaking of orientations, I had already gone through mine for the university I'm going to study in.

The topic I'm going to write about might seem uncharacteristic of me, but I want to add flavor to my blog. Isn't it always nice to have someone surprise you?

So, to surprise you, or not...

What is Blind?

First off, let's take it literally. What IS blind? Blind is a word used to describe a person who cannot see. Unfortunate fate. Miserable. Pitiful. For me, I feel bad whenever I see blind persons. I see them play instruments in groups. In front of them is a box with a hole on top so you can place coins in them. It's a heavy feeling to carry. (I do not know if this is right English)

Blind people cannot see, so they are basically unaware of what their surroundings look like.

Figuratively, a blind person is someone unaware of the truth. He is unable to see what is real, unable to see through lies. Unable to see through the clouded thoughts his enemies feed him.

Now, to substitute words. What is blind?

Judging from the first few statements, would you like to try and guess?

Love is blind. Cheezy mayhem. True, but I have dreamed of writing about an abstract aspect of a man's personality. What a perfect topic to begin with. Though without true experience, I would like to share with you a product of my immense imagination and brilliance. While I may have used brilliance to look like it is for self glorification - it is a mere booster of confidence as I go along. (This is new territory for me, and maybe you can either help me do more or stop doing these topics by simply commenting, whether you are on my blogger or multiply.)

Again, love is blind. Whether you have used the dictionary definition or the figurative implication, I really don't care, we'll all arrive at one point.

Actually, true love is blind.

True love cannot see the faults and wrongs of its recipients. You can't truly love and say, "I love you, but I won't love you anymore if you change". Love pushes through even the darkest hour, because when you love someone, you love that person because you just do, not because you are forced to or because you found comfort in that person.

Love is blind when you love somebody and never really care about what he or she does. True love is only true love when it's blind, when you're prepared to accept personalities those below set the standards you once have set.

Love can only feel. It gives it's approval of true love when your heart feels light everytime your receiver responds to you. The heart is an organ inside our body and tot ake it figuratively, it only feels. It is never able to sense the outside of our system.

Figuratively, too, it's the reason why, if we look around, people who are dating eachother aren't always the prefect match. There you have it. Love is blind. That's why love stories have poor people fall in love with rich ones and vice versa. People with different religions fall in love. It doesn't really matter what people say for a love that's blind. There's not always an explanation.
Love is blind. It, too, is magic.

Hannah Montana Steam

Hi! I'm blogging and blogging and blogging. Got home two hours ago from the University(De La Salle University) I'll study in. It was a whole day of non-sense and I expect tomorrow to be no different. When I was in my block, I was really silent. I know I wasn't not like that back in my Senior Year. I miss my old self. I miss that comfort.

However, life goes on and I'll have to adjust for 2 terms. After that, another adjustment. It might seem like I'm complaining, but i do NOT regret that decision.

Hannah Montana Steam

The first time I saw Hannah Montana(a year or so ago) on Disney Channel, I didn't really have anything to say. I didn't care at all. I mean, I was 15 years of age. Why should I like her songs? I have never listened to Miley Cyrus' songs. I just see them on TV when I'm scanning channels.

As time went on though, she goes on to be a super famous singer and her hits become more and more noticeable. The craze has gone through the minds of her audience like plagues that used to wipe out an entire town back in the day. It's like fire feeding off paper and wood to burn a house down.

Then a night came. I was scanning channels and then I hear people talking about Miley Cyrus. It was on The Insider.

I thought, De Javu.

Since when did the mature showbiz guys care about Disney's products?

I saw them make fun of Britney after she got pregnant. Britney, I think, had her share of memories with Disney. I heard them talk about Lindsay Lohan. After her career crashed. I watched them show Vanessa Anne Hudgens' photos. Censored because they were nude.

And just like the three I mentioned, they were talking about another career that is on the brink of downfall. Good thing it stayed there. Here's another star who has kids for her target market. And she risked her career. She really did. How?

She posed like an adult on Vanity Fair.

After typing those sentences, I wasn't thinking De Javu anymore. I was thinking...

Quade Javu. Yes, I made that up.

Miley Cyrus could say she did it because it's a part of growing up. I understand that.

How about her fans? The kids. Newsflash, most of her fans are kids. Isn't she supposed to be a role model? Is Miley thinking her child fans would pose sexily with bedsheets? No, no.

Yes she has freedom but now is not the right time to do that. Kids admire her too much. What a show. It's timing was as bad as it gets. Her career was rising. She had captured the hearts of her child viewers. And then she almost puts it to waste. She's seen it happen to Disney gals. Why let it happen to herself?

I hope we are not looking at one plus quade javu. I hope that doctors have not found a cure for Miley's plague. I hope the firefighters aren't here yet to put out Hannah Monatana's fire.

Why? It would break children's hearts, fragile as they are. I might sound like I'm exaggerating, but... If you're an 8 yr old boy and you're an avid fan of say... Batman, and Batman gets killed by the Joker? Wouldn't that be sad?

One more thing... Is Miley trying to get teenagers' hearts? That isn't gonna happen. As a guy, I can see that Lindsay has a better body than her. And I still think Lindsay's low.

Safe to say, what an Miley is not made for that kind of stuff yet. She also has not considered everything when she did that. She skipped her loving fans while thinking. This is not her time. She is on the rise and she just might have wasted that. She may do that only when she's desperate for fame again. That too might not be far ahead.

I heard the firetruck's already left the station.

Yes, the cure has not been found out, but the doctors seem to be almost there.
