One Night Stand

Hi... I kind of got that writing energy this summer. Expect me to throw in a blog entry probably at least once a week IF I get my brain rolling. Here goes.

One Night Stand

Don't get me wrong here, I mean, probably first thing that comes to your mind is that this topic is going to be sexual. Hmpph. Not really, but I really love how "One Night Stand" fits into my topic.

The president saw himself vowing before thousands of the citizens of the nation he was about to govern. They were howling as they cheered for him. After 7 years, it all seemed like it didn't happen. Those same thousands who cheered have turned into thousands who despised him and criticized him.

So... To start off, a One Night Stand is a sexual affair not done for love but for sexual desires only. In fact, the persons who will be doing the activity of sex have probably met only for the first time and of course, having said that, love is absent, thus there will be no plan for commitment. It's something that only lasts for one night(not literally), and thus has no bearing and fruit.

A one night stand is in fact the perfect embodiement of my topic. Hmmm... My topic is about promises, commitments and agreements that last for only as long as a month after it was stated.

Are you... getting this? Ever been told a secret? Probably... been to a group of people who pledged that there will be no more chaos and diversity?

If you've been through those kinds of things, you'd probably understand the next few sentences.

A lot of things like this are going to keep happening to you. And I don't want you to fall for lies. I don't want you to believe in promises made by people who have no commitment and people who can not stand the longetivity of an oath.

After 16 years of existence, I came up with something that might actually be true: Only a few have the guts to stay commited and loyal to an agreement.

Please, do not deny this. You see it on TV, hear it on the radio and read it on newspapers. The media actually helps you to realize this.

People marry others, after what? 3 months, they divorce. Candidates say I will not be corrupt, and they stay like that for a year maximum. After 6 mere months, you've got people saying "we don't like him" and witnesses sprout of nowhere. Please, oh please.

On the other hand, someone votes, and then the person he votes wins. After issues about corruption, he turns his back on his guy. What's up with that?

People, this is not just a political situation.

Michael trusts Ron and tells him a secret. Ron of course, promises Michael he won't tell anybody. After 3 weeks with a zipped mouth, he suddenly can't contain and he tells Mr. Olaguera, his boss.

Members of a group with a lot of problems cry together, forgives each other and promises to cherish eachother till the end. The next day, they go about their own businesses again.

A guy flirts with a girl, kisses her and tells her "I love you", but then they both decide "we're not fit for eachother".

Now, enough with the situations, I know you got me. We people are not fond of promises, treaties, agreements and such.

We do a lot of things recklessly but please learn. Haven't you realized that everything you haven't thought of turned into waste? Let's stand for something that we know we can actually stand for.

We talk a lot, but we can't walk the walk. We get so indulged sometimes, we think it's real. Think before you act. Life is not a joke, it is real... Yes it is, and something real is supposed to be taken seriously. Never say something you can't do because you'll always end up just disappointing everybody. If ever you decide to do the opposite of that, it has to be done with determination and hard work.

To conclude this relatively short post, I want everybody to know that we must learn how to put value into the things we do. We must put our heart into everything we say or do so we can become committted.

If you can't do that, don't ever promise. Don't ever say you're committed to something. Shut the hell up, lie down. You have a lot of thinking to do to not be like those sex morons.

Thank you.

Gets Into Your Head

Hey everybody! I'm back, and this time I'll try to post regularly. I've been gone for so long, missed me? I've been busy lately, graduated from High School and spent nearly 70 hours playing Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. Cool game. VERY, actually.

I have a lot of topics in my head but as usual, you're only gonna read about one, and it's up next.

Gets Into Your Head

I admit it, vague title. You really don't know where I'm gonna come from. Fortunately for me, I do.

I'm gonna get you warmed up. Think about all the TV shows or movies you loved ever so much, probably even those video games that you spent some time on because you love the story. You might have fallen in love with them.

If you fell in love with the story, I'm pretty sure you fell in love with the a certain character and from there, there are two possibilities. It's either you're just going to admire the character or you're going to try to compare yourself to the character.

Now when you compare, it branches out even more.

1. You are alike and you're going to like the striking similarities or
2. You are not the same, so you're going to try to make yourself like the character.

You must want to ask me why I put those two in bullet form and the other two were just in either or form. Well, we're gonna focus on item number two, so it has to be special.

The personality is so impressive to you that you try to adopt it. How? There are a lot of ways you try to do that, and to simply put it, it degrades your own character in real life. Models or idols are fine, but if they get in to your head, consider your soul lost.

C'mon. Don't think I jumped the gun. I didn't.

SIMPLE, because we have our own character. We have our own lives. If you try bringing a fictional character's own personality to life by sacrificing your own, that's just wrong because if you do that, everything fictional will try to influence your way of thinking and may alter the way you live your life. What happens is you try bringing in the character in real life situations you encounter or face.

Hmmm. Not yet convincing. Game time.

I think we have all encountered some situations in life which question the morality or the correctness of a decision i.e. "Was it right to bet on this thing?", "Was it right to question him?". You know those things, some of them probably about love, or a simple judgement or maybe decision making.

I'll give you a situation. Specimen A (21 yrs of age, female, working), watches TV and comes across a movie which goes like this.

"A girl transfers into school and is a bit confused. She is pretty, but has a weird gesture. She always lick the back side of her spoon when she eats. Other than that, she's perfect. Kind, funny, joyful and gorgeous.

"A boy which belongs to the class beside this girl's own is often teased for not being able to court girls. He then bets with his friends that he can. It just so happened that the gorgeous girl with abnormality(in paragraph 1) passed by so she was the subject of the bet."

You know what happens next right? They both fall in love then girl finds out the bet. TWIST TIME!

"The boy, after getting slapped by the boy, decides he isn't really in love and it was really all because of the bet."

OH MY GOODNESS!! Specimen A bursts into tears and she really admires the girl. She then decides to be like the girl. She then makes herself presentable everytime she goes to work. Now two of her officemates are attracted to Specimen A. Specimen B and C(both male) then seem to be competing. Two of her officemates, Sepecimen D and E(both male) then make a bet. Their terms go like this. Who among Specimen B and C will get the key to Specimen A's heart?

Specimen C dismisses his feelings and decides he only wants to be friends with Specimen A. They become so close, then Specimen B falls in love with Specimen A but then, decides he doesn't want her shit! Specimen A bursts into tears!

So... Specimen A learns about the bet but doesn't know it really and gets mad at Specimens D and E. Pointless anger. She shouldn't even know cause it's not her business. She gets the wrong idea that Specimen B only made his move because of the money though he wasn't involved, in the bet. She then thinks the whole world fell down on her, even though she was completely wrong.

WHY!?

BECAUSE. Specimen A thinks she's the protagonist in the story. She puts herself into the girl at the movie. Got into her head? Think about it.

...

...

So it put a scar on four lives. Good thing this was fictional, eh?

Safe to say, never push yourself into a fictional character's story. It only ruins your life. In real life, we aren't always the protagonist. We aren't always right. We aren't the main characters all the time, there are more people out there, 5 Billion of them, who have their own point of view.

Don't let your sould get lost through identity problems. Stop it from getting into your head.

Thanks for reading!
