Watching Discovery Channel helps me see trivial but essential stuffs beyond the fog of familiarity. Sometimes even the most petty of things that people so often overlook or just wouldn’t care noticing at all is the key element for a good life. Allow me to quantify. Let’s face it, we have to make a decision almost every second. The way we walk, where to go, what to say, how we talk, to pick up the coin along the street or not. And even big decisions must be done in a snap, we have to decide whether or not to eat an extra-large burger, to submit in a hypnotic state, join an organization or a religious group and would you believe that sometimes people can decide whether or not to feel pain and bleed? And maybe witches have extra power because they believe they can learn and eventually obtain it. Hence, it is like saying that everything we are and everything we feel and do is because of the works of our brain. The power of our brain is more than what any Einsteiner can comprehend. Even Socrates’ reason will be in vain explaining human behavior in relation on how our brain works. Ask every neurologist around for a simpler and more comprehensible explanation on the works of every neuron, chemical, and cells in our brain during decision-making and you will get vague, puzzle-like answers. Nobody can explain it. Decisions are done with the effort of our brain, the chemicals secreted by our body, our attitude towards the subject, and our personality. It is all interrelated, meaning there is no concrete explanation to every human behavior because every behavior manifested by men is subjected to him and not to any other things around him. People who have done a crime knows what they are doing, even the most drunk is still conscious of the things around him. We cannot force anyone to do something against their own will, thus if the alibi of the crime is hypnosis, or drugs, or alcohol, or mental illness, I believe he/she should still be punished for such deviant acts. The human brains works in ways we cannot fully understand. I have read about a cult in Iran where adult and children alike literally puncture themselves with ice picks, knives, and even swords and they claim that it creates no pain. Scientists have examined one member and indeed, the prostaglandin (a pain chemical) secretion is decreased during piercing when he meditates. Another is the art of knocking someone out without even touching the person. Thus called No Touch Knockout. I do not believe in this either but I cannot judge those people who have been knock out by this method. Why do some people feel so little pain? Why are some people knocked out without even touching? While some don’t? That’s because they believe in the concept. What we believe is sometimes more powerful than what we feel. Maybe that is why some hospitals in America are using the revolutionary mind healing to alleviate the suffering of the sick. In conclusion, if you are in the brink of tears because of pain, remember that it is all in our mind. Even the most hurtful of circumstance can be avoided when we keep in mind this simple fact, Brain Has the Power to Drastically Change Your Emotion. Thus the saying mind over emotion. So next time you feel like eating that high-caloric meal, or crying over a stupid person, or feeling depressed of your body image, just remember That Its All In Your Mind.
Darn it!.. It's either pure coincidence or my brother just really wanted to emulate my every action that he has to act well... *shrugs* like a girl, get a boyfriend with the same name as mine, and call each other the same way as we do *twitch*
He never fails to surprise me. I just wish he would never get as far as wearing my panties on. (wait! I get a feeling he already did! darn it!!!!!)
After a day's work I was ready to go home, dress in the most comfy cotton t-shirt, eat my already prepared lunch, and watch some good dvds after. I was feeling pretty good at myself as my student is very attentive and is interested to learn.. thus, smiling at myself, I walked along the busy street of Claveria humming at the sound of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance from my Ipod while holding a cellphone on the other trying to use up everything smart unlimited text can provide. As I drew near the corner, I caught a glimpse of an old man dressed in a rugged t-shirt, with an equally rugged shorts and almost-useless slippers. He was sitting at the corner of an abandoned hotel (which I think is very ironic) having lunch ( i presume coz its already past 12 nn). The sight was beyond anything I can describe or would want to describe.... I never dared take a second glance of him hence I might broke down and say sorry for being such a brat at home (not that he cares)... His lunch consists of a bottled water (one that you knew at first glance that it was refilled) and a junkfood (not the nova/piatos/pringles type but one that you usually see hanging on sari-sari stores). Uhuh... that 1-peso worth of junkfood is the old man's lunch that day. The kind that we used to eat when we we're younger not because it tastes good but because of the freebies inside.. *sigh* It's a heartbreaking sight and one day when I see that man again.. I'll stop by and give him my 5 peso worth of biscuit.. It might not be much but atleast he'll get enough calories to get by even for just that day...
It has been a month since the board exam has passed and I have a lucrative job that only requires my presence and my meager knowledge on English. I have to turn down the other 2 jobs offered to me by ( Merge as a Review Assistant and Meno Gaia as an online English Tutor) because of one common factor. They need me to stay on the job for 6 months... and I can't. I don't think I want to either.
See I'm blessed to have parents working in Japan who are only too eager to have me join them there. and what keeps me here in Davao is the fact that I'm waiting for my license to come which can be totally useless in the end owing to the fact that I will be applying as a care giver as a stepping stone.
I urged mama and papa for ages to allow me to come and work in Japan since I don't need a license anyway. All I have to prove is I have a Japanese blood circulating in my arteries but they won't budge and I don't know exactly the reason why. But i pray I'll be able to bring that darn paper with me for them to see.. I really really do..Ohhhh.. you don't know how much I need it. Its value can beat that of the visa I tell you.. yup! that much!
..Ofcoarse I have to mention here Jayson(yeah him again, I need to plan my future with him in it..otherwise.. it would be a total blur). Jayson and I must marry first before he can fly with me and I'll be darn if he'll agree. I know that guy all too well to expect an approving nod. And his family has a plan on their own for him too so yeah, That's the saddest part. The only consolation is we will be both working in Asia, only he'll be on the western part and I on the eastern part. Crap! This is nuts! Why do people need to work outside the country to earn decent salary?!!! Ohh... This is mad! And i can't do anything.. we need this... **wait!tissue please...
Barely 2 weeks to go before we can finally take a glimpse of that board result and the only thing that keeps my mind off that fact is work..*** and internet! Oh God, please please let me pass! I need this God. And so does Jayson and all my friends and classmates.. Ohh.. I believe everybody does so.... ummmm... just please let me, Jayson. and my friends pass and those that deserve to pass let them pass too. I know I know... I want everyone to pass but I will pray extra extra hard for those close to my heart. The future is a blur. But I'm thankful it isn't dark at all...
Thank you movie In my Life (starring John Lloyd and Sarah) for that super hackneyed ring tone. Remember that annoying sound you hear everytime the couples’ phone ring? Yup! That infamous *coughs..ehem..imitating Sarah’s voice* “baby ko… baby ko.. baby ko….. ” everytime they receive a message or call?
Yup! That’s it! Thank God you still remember... Well... I know its corny and all but I lured Jayson to record his own voice on my phone too. That was ages ago and I never thought how I would look forward to receiving a message just so I can hear his voice calling me even if its just SMART reminding me about my expired unlitext. Never mind Shobe complaining about how unoriginal we are and never mind everybody saying how annoying I am to really wait for the ringtone to finish before flipping open my phone. It’s the only thing that would make me laugh whenever his presence is missing. Try it! Even waking up in the morning at the sound of your boyfriend’s voice would make the morning seem so bright and perfect.:-D
