15 - ???

Aloha! It’s so good to be back here again. I’ve been doing a lot of stuff lately because… college… you know… I have to play and watch Anime. So I will be making another blog post for you. Speaking of which in case you don’t know, the word “Aloha” both means hello and goodbye at Hawaii. And when I say Aloha it means… goodbye. I’m sorry guys (are there any people even reading this?) But I guess this will be the very last blog entry that I will make.  This is just part for my course and the required entries are fifteen blogs or more but it’s just time consuming. I’m not much of a blog person but I did enjoyed writing blogs. Don’t cry, I know that you guys will miss me (No one reads this blog so who am I talking to?!?! O_o) but sometime in the future, maybe I’ll write a blog entry?

           Anyways, when I also said “Aloha”, I also mean hello. Just in case you don’t know, I hate goodbyes. Saying goodbye like in a conversation is acceptable but in times when you will see them later for a long time or never see them again, I don’t really like saying goodbye. I don’t want a “the end” for me but I want to keep the adventure going with the friends who hurt me at the same time the friends who care (Just kidding, I will rekt them if they hurt me XD). If ever, I never want the adventure to end. Though in school may be a little different. We study to get grades, to get good jobs, to get rich and that’s why we want to end studying fast. That’s different for me. I don’t really care about good grades, good jobs, or good money (Who am I kidding, I need money to live). I care much about the learning. It may not be good to learn but not even doing it right but at least you entertain yourself to do it anyways. It’s like living the experience rather than studying the facts that would lead you to nowhere.

           I will try not to say goodbye to people because those people are the ones I want to share the experiences with. You have to share all the memories while you are still living. I don’t want to keep all the glory with myself.  I think there are some times when you spent too much time with someone that you don’t want them to leave. Eventually all adventures have to end… but that doesn’t mean that you will never see them again. Someday, one day, you may see them again. Sometimes 1% can be as big as 99%.

           I’m sorry for making this blog entry  a little unsatisfactory. I had to hurry to finish this post. The deadline is tomorrow and I have to do some other stuff. I’m just trying to say that you have a choice whether or not to say goodbye. Goodbyes can be as strong as that you may never speak with them again. If ever, find an alternative way to say it. “See you later” or “Aloha” might do it because it makes us committed to interact with them again.

I’m going to post a little something here. Like all my topics, I will put the last question… When will you see them again?

Thank you for reading this blog. ^_^

14 - Who is me? (I am your father, NNOOOOO!!!! Yes son, it’s time that we had, the talk. It all started when I met your mother at the park [20 minutes later] and well, that’s how you were created. NOOOOO!!! Yeah, get rekt noob! NOOOOHOOHOOOHOOOOOOUUUU!!!) Luke cries and Darth Vader wore sun glasses.

That was a weird, yet awesome title. In case you don’t know, that’s reference from “Star Wars” though I added a little mix. Anyways, time to be selfish for this post. I’ve just realized that most posts here do not really define me. I think that last blog post said that. Though the title may be a question, this will really be just about me and what I like.

First off, who am I? Oh, you’ll never know.  My name is invisible!!! I’m being sarcastic here. The clues are already scattered here to know what my name is. Might not be the full name but part of my name. I will not be talking much about my personality or maybe not going to talk about it and I will also not talk about my negativity. As for what I do, I don’t really stay in just once place. I want to try different things and challenges but here are just some of the things that I do often.

I don’t read books much instead I watch Anime. I love watching Anime. The very first Anime I watched is Dragon Ball. It’s still good to watch the fights again especially the movies made in this years. It doesn’t really matter what genre I watch but I have one rule, I don’t watch long episode Animes. If I started something, I tend to watch it ‘till the end. So when I found out about Boku no Pico, that’s when I died (Just kidding, I haven’t watched it, though I am tempted). I don’t think I will be starting to watch Detective Conan. Oh yeah, usually, I cry watching some other episodes of Anime. You can really see the tears going down my face. take a look on Anohana if you'd like.

Of course when there’s Anime, some of them are connected to games. I’ve been playing video games since I was five. The very first digital game I played was “Command and Conquer: Generals” where I loved playing strategic games. Any games are okay for me to play even Barbie games (kidding) since this time; I don’t tend to finish games. I easily get bored. I don’t play LOL or DOTA instead I play my favorite game Dragon Nest. If I hadn’t played Dragon Nest, I wouldn’t have been able to be the way I am now. I usually play as the supporter role so in this game, I am using the class called "Saint".

I love listening to music.  It kind of annoys me if they asked me to lower the volume or just use one part  of the headphone because I wouldn’t really feel the music. Entertained by music helps be do work. I enjoy Anime music better or rock song. I’m not much on the mainstream music much more on something that will get my heart beat stronger or better. If I enjoyed music, then I enjoyed music games. My favorite music game would either be Cytus (if it does not lag) or an arcade game, Maimai. With these music, I usually make AMVs (Anime Music Videos). I love sequencing the scenes in music since I enjoy the music and at the same time i enjoy the movements. Here's an AMV that I made.

I did say that I don’t read books but I write novels. I started writing when I was eleven and somehow, I enjoyed making stories. I have this weird brain where I think a lot of possibilities from other shows and suddenly make my own story. I took up the course of Game Development not because I want to play games but because I want to tell them my stories through games. You can check my friend’s and my Wattpad account here.

What kind of people do I like? I don’t really care. As long as they are nice to me, I am nice to them. “But what kind of girls do you like?” I don’t really care, as long as they are nice to me, I am nice to them. “BUT WHAT KIND OF GIRLS YOU YOU LIKE-LIKE????” You know what, how about we just talk in the comments below. Besides, it’s like anyone is interested in what girls I like XD.

But any who, these are just some of the things that I like. If you want to know more, just comment below and ask a question (Like anyone reads this). Wait a minute, who is you? (I also like to say wrong grammars because it makes people annoyed :3)

13 - A very unrelated topic…

Hey! Would you look at that? That’s the only title that is not a question. I should be proud of myself for making my first title that is not a question. My trademark here is that all my topics are all questions because these are not much intended for me but intended for you. I want to help you guys up there for the people who have the same problems in this blogs. Maybe your perspectives would change, become wiser or change into something better. Any who, what’s the unrelated topic then? From the picture below, you’d guess what it is all about.

            Sorry for this but I’ll try to be religious at the moment. I am not that religious but somehow I feel like I need to write this. People became somehow content that they can live without the aid of Him but that is one reason why some of their personalities become worse. You can see in the news about drugs, theft, rape, violence, and even the conspiracies of other religions yet we still call that they are living? What does it mean to live? From the bible, Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” He lives in us therefore if we follow his commandments, we are to live and dying is the way to gain everlasting life. Other people just survive to do unholy things; they just stopped having faith that He will help them and that they can overcome the challenge in time. With such impatience, they stopped praying.

             Scientifically, He does not exist but logically, even science may not exist. If their perspective is that if something or someone has not been seen or proven, it means that they don’t exist. But ask them this, “If you jumped from the 20^th floor to the 1^st floor, will you survive? How would you know if you haven’t SEEN yourself do it? Someone did that and died but they are not you so how would you know if you can survive if you haven’t seen it yourself?”

           I think I was being sarcastic there but at least you know the logic. If your philosophy professor asked you if He exists, then just say what is above (But you might get punished later on). I’m sorry for being this religious but I just really feel like everybody needs to remember their faith and continue praying for forgiveness and blessings. Pray even though that problems encounter your way, pray even though that death has come to your family, pray if everyone turns against you, pray… because He, at the end, will save you and give you the best blessing that anyone could have, His everlasting Love.

           This is the very first and the only verse that I memorized that I want to share with you guys. John 3:16 “For He who loves the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

12 - You mad brah?

When we saw someone crying, we must always laugh at them. We all know that crying is funny and it’s not for men. We should call them crybabies for crying as adults. Crying is for babies only and adults who crying are funny and babies. Haha! (:3)

           I love crying. That’s right, you can know call me a crybaby because of what I’ve said up there… But hey, crying is good. Of course I don’t want to cry publicly because I don’t want to be laugh at. You know what I mean. It’s like the concept of politeness. Being polite are so rare these days that it is mistaken as flirting (9gag). It’s like crying. Seeing people cry makes them think that they are weak or they will just be laugh upon (TV shows does not apply because we know it’s acting). It’s just that as time goes by, people change their perspectives practically in everything even making the bad as good. You can see in games or Anime that the “dark” element are okay to use but some people have believe that the element is bad because it represents the devil. Though people taking it lightly as a cool element because they changed how they looked at it and somehow, that element became good. That goes the same for crying.

           Guys, it’s okay to cry. I cry every week and you can see how manly I am right now XD. But seriously, crying does not define weakness but it defines your way of showing your feelings. If you didn’t cry, then die. I mean literally cry. Everyone cries at some point of their lives. Crying is a sign to show ones feelings so I don’t see the problem with that. Here are some ways why crying is good:

1.)    Crying find relief.

-          Everyone is aware of this. Obviously, you don’t want to be angry at people and punch their faces, or hit their groins, or do the tombstone, or curse them. You might just find yourself in your own room crying than holding it all in. Sometimes, letting go is the best solution because it will just hurt you by taking everything in you. Sooner, you will realized that your mood will be better after crying and there you will be able to move on (wait what?).

2.)    Crying makes you healthy.

-          It’s like sweating you see (wait what?!). We know that a good sweat helps release bacteria and everything. Crying can also help you lubricate your eyes to keep your eyes from getting cry. When I didn’t cried for a whole month, I tried crying it suddenly it burns my eyes. That’s what I get for being in the computer for so long. When I started it much more regularly (weekly), it didn’t hurt. My eyes are less dry now and healthier.

3.)    Crying is a sign of happiness (WHAT WHAT!?!?!?!?).

-          Okay, this is something I didn’t get myself back then. But when I started shows, I later on realized. I cry because I’m happy how people grow up and finally moved on with their lives like accepting the fact about themselves. You’ll find it out soon that crying makes people happy if you watched “Anohana”. That’s the anime that I always watch to make me cry. This will be great. I’m sure. You will thank me. Trust me. This is going to be great (:3). I even made an AMV (Anime Music Video) out of it.

 Don’t take this the wrong way guys. Crying is very natural and great. If they say that crying is for babies then just tell them that you guys are babies too, you know because you want to feel younger? Pfft. Could you guys give me some anime that will make me cry?

11 - Smoke weeds everyday? Ft. Snoop Dawg (Dog)

I’ll just spread awareness that smoking is bad and stuff. Smoking kills people. I am doing an anti-smoking thing here. Let’s stop smoking now because smoking is harmful. *Yawn* Honestly, everybody here knows that smoking is bad even smokers themselves. If they already know that this is harmful for them, then we should just stop this anti-smoking awareness and just add some places where smoking is prohibited. How about we just let them smoke to places where smoking is available and vice versa then everyone stays happy, right? Besides, we’re missing the good point here. Let’s do the math here…

Human + Smoking = Disease = Paying = Poor = No cure = Death = Less population to feed

In terms, it means that “If a human smokes, they will have some diseases that they will have to pay in order to be cured. By paying, they will be poorer which if they continued to smoke, no cure will be found and they will eventually die. If people die, then the government would have to feed less people. So it’s a good thing so we can have more resources. Even the people in here praising the “No Smoking” sign agrees here (Now I am being dark here and that was just a picture from the Frosh Night by Rampage)

                That’s not the point here. The question is… why do people smoke even though they know it’s bad for their health? If you are in my place, then you would understand. I don’t smoke but I have something in common from them. We are both looking for satisfaction. Do you know that feeling when you got pissed and you want to either bang yourself to the wall or find satisfaction by playing games, watching Anime, listen to music, and other stuff that will not involve fighting with the human

or the nature? I guess that goes the same for people who smoke as they find their satisfaction and probably smoke their problems away.

Let’s change the perspective. Why did they start to smoke? One main problem is that they are pissed with the people around them. Of course if you are offered to smoke, you will get pissed over and over again that you will be smoking later on. What if we were the villains before and now the heroes by telling them to stop smoking? Let’s try reverse engineering. Before we start making a “Stop to smoke campaign”, let’s make a “Is my behavior okay?” campaign. After all, we might be the cause of why they started smoking or in other cases, why they trap themselves into something else. For people who do not to be disturbed, don’t disturb them regardless of the consequences. You might be the cause of the problems they have and they needed time to fix it by themselves or with the helps of others. From my last blog post, I believe that the number one enemy that todays heroes are not humans but the immaturity.

Let’s fix ourselves first, okay?

10 - Be a hero or not?

Yesterday specifically last August 14, 2015, we attended an event called "Heroes for Millennial." We listened to the speakers who talked about heroes from the past and modern heroes. Though I did not listen much at the first part because I was too sleepy (don't ask what I was doing), I did know and understand what we were talking about. Basically it was just some fact about our heroes Jose Rizal, Juan Luna, Gregorio del Pilar, Andres Bonifacio, and the one they pin pointed, Antonio Luna. There is a movie to be released at September 9, 2015 and they showed us a twelve minute preview of the show. The preview seems cool and so as the trailer. Generally we just talked about heroes being forgotten, the misinterpretations in our heroes, what a hero is and other sorts. Like I said I would put more pictures here to make it more attractive and the trailer of the movie so here you guys go.

Visit APC Ram Page for more pictures

Though that is not really what I am concerned of. A question was asked and probably the theme of their event. "Bayan o Sarili?" In English it means country or self. That question is about being a hero or not to be a hero. Seems like an easy question but in my perspective, the question is rather "Why do people choose self rather than country?" Though I heard they answered Bayan, do they really mean it? The answer might have been Bayan but in their hearts it might have been Sarili. One reason that I can think of is immaturity. Let’s take note that helping others even though you don’t have any powers makes you a hero. 

Why do I think that immaturity is the main problem? I think this image would explain the whole thing in fact this might already explain the whole thing. Let’s take a sample. When you see a girl carrying a large sum of weight like books and then you helped, that would be a good thing. But if your friends saw you they’ll be shrieking. On the other hand if you do not help them, they will think how much of a gentleman you are (Sarcasm, but you get my point). Some people just stopped caring because they don’t want to get hurt that’s why some of them get ignorant and turn into support liking the posts rather than doing something towards the main problem. Actually, that also goes the same for me. How about you, will you be the same? You know there are other ways you can do to become a hero and it’s this one. Like what was said in number 4, I am inviting you to watch “Heneral Luna” this September 09, 2015 and by this way, you can consider yourself be called a hero. Let’s help contribute by spreading awareness about heroism and immaturity and that way, we might be heroes in ourselves.

One of the main villains to fight is immaturity, will you be the hero?

9 - Will you pass the ultimate challenge?

Eghit bolgs are feisnhid wcihh mneas we are akesd to do sveen mroe bogls (tuhs the sufeinfrg cnotenius) but the good news is taht we can tinhk of any tpioc now. Like I said broefe, we are akesd to pick tcipos form a list but we can hvae our own tpiocs like this. But now, I can fanilly go arocdncig to paln! BHHHHAHAHWHAHAAAHAHAAAAAHHA!!!

                Antteiton palys a viatl role in our leivs. The fcat is that terhe are two tgnhis that are cnirnotollg our atointetn and that wluod be our cocsnenice and our sub conneccsie.

I konw that my bolg deosn’t get mnay pcuitres besacue tihs bolg is a pocyisgcolhal dissosucin but not much of an iailsrlttuve wnitirg. What I am tyinrg to show you is that aynnoe wuold pbboraly do atnnyhig for attention. Not taht it bhoters be touhgh but does it really mtater? The coevr of the mhigt ctach the atoitnetn of the vweeirs but letar on will hvae a bad rettpuoian for hanivg a poor cnonett. In oerdr to cacth the anitteton of the iidvnaiduls, the ttlie or the ceovr must not be the olny one taht has the focus but aslo the content. You cnonat jsut say taht liikng taht pcirtue will make you lvoe God since that stlil dnedpes on you and not the ptircue. You canont just say taht if you can read this that menas you paessd the ualttmie cglalhene. You caonnt jsut say that you caonnt say ainnhytg that wloud not say sheomitng for syinag nihtong and that thnig is snteiohmg to be siad by stoinhmeg is to say (Now I'm just scrienwg with you).

                Once aaign, I am not frinocg you but I wlil tell you to be smrat aobut tsehe tnghis. Fuocs more on the cenotnt and lkie the ohrets… don't mkae tetils taht dsoen't hvae sinicicgnfae to what yuor ctnnoet is. Bsecaue one, they wlil be ayonend and two, I wlil be aennoyd. But in oethr cesas, mbaye your cnontet will find the rhigt idanuvliids and find the true veewris or rhetar your true love. Now I am being stasracic...

Cterids to this one...

But slitl... can you rlleay utnrendsad tihs? In case you can’t understand, the translation is below…

Eight blogs are finished which means we are asked to do seven more blogs (thus the suffering continues) but the good news is that we can think of any topic now. Like I said before, we are asked to pick topics from a list but we can have our own topics like this. But now, I can finally go according to plan! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (That’s a real evil, hysterical laugh in case you are asking)

                In addition to that, I have decided to troll this post but that isn’t what I wanted to do to you (Of course I did an evil laugh). What I want to talk about is something most of us want but might be really hard to get. You guys have probably encountered links or titles that say something outrageous or something incredibly awesome or unimaginable such as the title “Will you pass the ultimate challenge?” Who would actually fall for that? Obviously, people opening or taking that challenge are idiots for not knowing that the challenge was not the ultimate. Hahaha. Maybe you also have experiences encountering things such as “Like if you love Jesus, ignore if you love Satan” in Facebook posts. I am quite impressed that people are fooled by liking these things even though they know these are hoax. But why do others click like or visit these links or even interact with them even though they know these are hoax? Our conscience is the one telling us to trust our instincts but our sub conscience are the ones giving us the other decisions which can surpass our conscience. That’s what getting your attention.

                Attention plays a vital role in our lives. The fact is that there are two things that are controlling our attention and that would be our conscience and our sub conscience. Mostly, you are the ones controlling your conscience. People would do anything to get attention like this one for instance. I know that a lot of people don’t enjoy reading books much because it’s boring (in my case) and this blog is somehow close to that. Like all the other people, I would also try and do this for once and see how it goes. I know that my blog doesn’t get many pictures because this blog is a psychological discussion but not much of an illustrative writing. What I am trying to show you is that anyone would probably do anything for attention. Not that it bothers be though but does it really matter? The cover of the might catch the attention of the viewers but later on will have a bad reputation for having a poor content. In order to catch the attention of the individuals, the title or the cover must not be the only one that has the focus but also the content. You cannot just say that liking that picture will make you love God since that still depends on you and not the picture. You cannot just say that if you can read this that means you passed the ultimate challenge. You cannot just say that you cannot say anything that would not say something for saying nothing and that thing is something to be said by something is to say (Now I'm just screwing with you).

                Once again, I am not forcing you but I will tell you to be smart about these things. Focus more on the content and like the others… don't make titles that doesn't have significance to what your content is. Because one, they will be annoyed and two, I will be annoyed. But in other cases, maybe your content will find the right individuals and find the true viewers or rather your true love. Now I am being sarcastic...

Credits to this one...

But still... can you really understand this? I think you do now...

8 - Did you enjoy the week?

When it comes to discussing events, I am not really fond of making it. Please forgive me if I did anything poor here since they asked us to write a blog on something…

                SoCSIT (School of Computer Science and Information Technology) week happened at the last week of July specifically from July 28-31. Activities happened like the color run, opening ceremony, seminars, and other sorts. The question is did I enjoy it? I don’t like to be rude but I will have to say that I mildly enjoyed it. Though with these events, I was not able to participate to the other events. I will site the events I have encountered.

                Let’s start from Tuesday! The only thing happened here was the opening ceremony. We had to wait outside at high noon with the scorching sun for the “parade” to start. Many used umbrellas as I did while others went to the classrooms and the mall to do the banner for the parade. Our block shared the banner made by the participants by paying ten pesos to them. When the parade started, I thought that we are going to walk to the streets and in turns out it was just around the school parking lot. The other blocks are laughing because they waited outside for that long but then I think it’s a good thing since it that event protected our skin from burning more. There were only eight of us left to walk around the parking lot so my block mates were kind of mad.

                Good Wednesday or the same Wednesday as we would like to believe. We were informed two weeks before this event that we had to perform anything for 30 seconds. If the judges voted fame, we get nothing. If they voted shame, then we would be drinking something delicious (Sarcasm). We were utterly unprepared and had to improvise. My group mates agreed to do a rap parody and goes like this…

“I broke up with my ex-girl, here’s her numbah.” gave the paper. “Sike! That’s the wrong number!”

1.5 seconds of silence and then suddenly “OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!! OOOOOOOHHHH!!! OOOOOOOHHHHH!!” (Mein Gott they’re late)

                And that lead us to drink a cup of milk mixed with sorts that I can’t explain.

                Thor’s day!!! Finally, it’s a good time to skip class and join the tournament of Mortal Kombat. Bad news, it was cancelled. That’s basically it.

                Pride day!!! Finally this time! It’s a good time to skip class and join the tournament of Mortal Kombat. Bad news (again). You guys knew what happened. But instead of having class, our professors let us have free time for the whole day thus going to the Game Development Seminar where the speakers are staffs from Garena though I can’t really relate since I don’t play their games. But they did say many about the benefits and the guidelines in games. And I was not able to attend the SoCSIT night because I had project that are due midnight that night. This video was the project that we finished and I edited…

                That’s basically what happened to it. I did enjoy it but only mildly. For my fellow APCeans, did you guys enjoy the week?

7 - To be or not to be... alone?

"61. Alone"

Forever alone? I mentioned sometime last time that some people separate from other because they are a misfit. Some don’t want to be along because they think it’s depressing. For me, being alone isn’t all bad in fact it sometimes help you. Alone, if you don’t know (obviously you do), is a state that you don’t join people.

          Though alone, they say is, depressing, why do some people choose to be alone? Some people choose to be along because they feel depressed or sad. They don’t want to cry in front of others and they don’t want to be hurt by the people around them. Sometimes it’s just a  part of them that they fell comfortable without others, they find entertainment through themselves. Sometimes they think that they are already independent and they don’t need immaturities with them. It still feels kind of sad though. You can make more wild guesses why people choose to be alone but I just cited some of the negative things about alone.

               Well if there are some negative concepts about alone then there are some positive ideas too. Because of you being alone, you can find yourself at peace. No one is bothering you and you can practically do whatever you want. Being alone isn’t because you’re sad but it also means you need some space from those you are busy at. If you come back, you’ll get less bored because you missed their joy and laughter. It’s like taking a break and then going back to them at the right time. Maybe being alone helps you find your epiphany and clear your mind.

               I am not saying that you should be alone because of the positive things I cited but it is up to you if you want to be a loner. If you have free time, think twice if you want to take a day off and sleep for the whole day or if you want to be with your friends because you want to take life to the fullest. After all, no man is an island.

               In conclusion, being alone helps us not just mentally but also socially. Like all bad things, this concept can also bring good things like the refreshment of your mind. Be along or not, as long as you feel comfortable you should do it. Take the time to realize what you have done for the time being and may you unlock what you have realized. Do you still believe in forever alone?

6 - Do I belong here?

“145. Write about being a misfit.”

Friends, we all have that. Who doesn’t have friends? Some of you may say that you don’t have friends that you are alone. Don’t be ridiculous, even though you say you don’t have friends there will be that certain few who are your friends. You just don’t befriend them. I don’t categorize real friends and fake friends since one definition of friend is somewhere who is “friendly” to you.

               So you are in a group but do you ever feel like you are the only one who’s different? Do you think that you are the only one with few similarities with others? If you are then you are a misfit. Misfits are people whose behavior or attitude sets them apart from others in an uncomfortably conspicuous way (Google XD). I know what it means but it’s just hard to define though. Misfits are the people who think that they don’t belong where they are but why are some people are misfits or rather why do people think that the person they are with is a misfit?

               First reason that I can think of is that misfits can’t handle the people around them or misfits don’t have the same personality as others. They think that they are better than them for their talent is good and theirs isn’t or they think that their behavior or characteristics does not make them comfortable with others. Would you say that a quiet person who barely speaks at all fits to a group who likes to rumble around and scream? How about a person talented in piano joins a class full of talented violinist? The tendency is that they’d leave the group or stay there and be a misfit. The second reason is that people do not want to be with that person because they feel uncomfortable with that certain person. The cause might be it’s because they are jealous that they bully them, they don’t like their personality and makes way to get them off, or they don’t like the deficiencies the person has.

               The first reason isn’t much of a bad thing because the problem is you only. If you don’t want to feel different then you can always work hard to attain what they have in common. Adjustment is the key to try and be the same with others. As for the second reason, I feel that this really is a bad thing. I have experience being separated from others because of my personality and I know what it’s like to be a misfit. With this reason, you are discriminated. Discrimination is one of the things I hated most. It’s like judging a person without even trying to know what he is capable of. This time it’s the environment itself that is making those people misfits.

               A lot of us are trying to change to gain friends and we don’t want to be different with the others. We want to talk a lot of things and share our common interest. That is why other people are adjusting even though they don’t like it since they can’t change people. But take this, would you really work hard to attain their level and is different bad? Be proud! Being different than the others is what makes you special. I don’t like having a boring life with the same concepts. Having a group with different variety of personalities for me is the best group that anyone can have. Because of this, you have your own special set of skills and maybe share those skills or interests with others. As for the people who are discriminating, I advise you not change and just find another group. The moment you have changed and you were accepted -- wouldn’t you feel sad if they found another one to discriminate on? In my belief, they only chose you because of your usefulness and not because of who you are. I said advice but I am not forcing you.

               It is up to you if you really want to change for yourself. Will you change to be the same with others or will you change your concepts to accept who you are and hope they accept you too?

5 - Will you yolo or YOLO?

"90. Write about something that you wanted very much and perhaps worked long and hard for, but were unable to get. What were your feelings then? What are your feelings about it now?"

From the previous blog I mentioned about doing something else rather than doing the important things first. It's called procrastination which is to delay the things of what you are doing and here I am yet again procrastinating rather than doing the blog which the deadline for the first seven blog posts are due tomorrow. This is one thing I wanted very much but was unable to get. But all of that is about to change when I totally finish the blog posts before tomorrow!

  

      My feelings then were relaxed. I had a lot of time to do it and I didn't want to do it because I didn't have the urge to do so. I only write when I feel like it. It's like doing an assignment. You get more points if you are somehow interested with that certain subject rather than those other subjects and vice versa. Think of this scenario. You are asked to write two essays and those would be any topic that you like and a topic about boring stuff. Which essay do you think you'll get with more points? Get the point?

          Being relaxed were my feelings back then but now, I feel urged. Though it is not recommended that you procrastinate, having less time to do what I need helps me release my adrenaline meaning I am panicking but in reality, I am excited to finish this work. Doing this blog isn't the only thing I worked long and hard for. The stories I publish in Wattpad, the novels I am currently doing but is not actually in Wattpad, and the game I am producing are some of the things I really wanted and worked hard and long for but is unfinished. I am just procrastinating for the right time to do it which will improve the way I do them. Just because you only have less time to do it doesn't mean that you will not be able to do it. You don't have to give up that easily. As long as there's still time, there is still a chance to do it. You still have that persistence to continue. All you have to do is YOLO it!

          You only live once. That's what YOLO means. People think YOLO is a discreet word that they need to think twice if that certain action will make it worse or not. Well I think YOLO is a word challenging us to do stuff that we haven't done. I also say YOLO which means you just need to go with the flow regardless of the outcome and do it -- just YOLO it! This blog that I am doing right now, I am YOLOing it.

        Like the title said, will you yolo it (Think twice and try avoiding it) or will you YOLO it and see what you have accomplished. Who knows, maybe what you did actually becomes beneficial to you… or not but hey, it's better than doing nothing.

4 - Have I forgotten something?

“130. Did you ever forget something really important?”

Yes, I did forget something important but the problem is -- I don’t know if it is important. First minute, I opened the computer and search for the things I needed to search but the moment I opened my web browser I logged in to my Facebook and just do it later or maybe never. Hey, I think you guys have also experience this situation maybe in a different concept. That’s not the point though; the point is our distractions are getting out of hand that we never really do our needs.

Distraction does not give you the full attention of something else. It could either be from a want or from a need. Everyday, we see distractions whether we’re at school, at work or at home. It is a common problem that everyone encounters frequently. Sometimes we just want to wish that we can really focus with our objectives and not forget about our assignments. I wished I was never distracted. But today, I do not wish that I never get distracted. As a matter of fact, I love distractions.

I don’t want to change your concepts that distractions are bad or they will only make your time lessen for the upcoming tasks. I don’t like controlling people (Yeah right, and I wish I was Charles Xavier) because I know that they have their lives and they want to use it to the fullest. But I would like you to put your attention into this saying that “Distractions are beneficial.” And it’s just all in the matter of perspective

I was in the middle of writing an essay about anything for our expository writing course and I didn’t know what to write then. I was doing all sorts of stuff like rolling on my bed or looking at the clock rather than playing, Facebook or anything exciting (no dirty thoughts please) because if one of my parents walks inside the room and saw me playing or doing anything exciting while my assignment is done then they might be like:

“Dhale, are you done with your assignment?”
“Nope.”
“Then what are you doing there?! You are not done with your assignments and you are playing?! You really are obsessed with computers and now you are...”

Or if it was in a different scenario that I said yes:

“Oh so you’re done with your assignments?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“ARE YOU SURE!?!?!?”

I really don’t like people shouting at me and I don’t want repetition much or long discussions unless I enjoyed it. But that’s not the case here. I was mind blocked from doing my essay about anything. I didn’t know which topic was better or which topic will make more impact. So how did I pass through this? Did I just lie down and sleep my way through until my mind finally awoken or something else? It was a matter of faith, trust, and ninja moves and hope that they don’t catch me playing while my assignment was still not done. But it was not much of playing but doing something I enjoy like writing novels. I just continued my story which I haven’t touched for over four months. I woken up when I started and I got really far from where I was when I got bored. Miraculously because of that story, I got some ideas of what I wanted to write for my essay. I was confident that I was able to write anything from something I got distracted at rather than waste my time on the bed.

Maybe distraction is good. We work because we want to achieve that certain thing. We might say that we are fully focused for that objective but there has got to be that percentage where you think the reason for doing the job. We distract ourselves not because we don’t want to work but because we want to remember why we started the tasks or catch some ideas from the experiences we made.

This time, why not try distracting yourself until you get bored and do your objectives first? Take another route that instead of doing your work first you do what you want first. Second things first. With that training, you’ll be learning time management in terms of having less time to do the job.

There’s still one thing I forgot though, what am I supposed to do again?

“It was at this moment that he remembered he forgot to zip his pants.”
