I recently watched a taiwanese drama called "Dear Mom" one of my favorite quotes was the continual motivation of the quote, "Tomorrow is another day" this is a perfect quote to link with the bible verse i've been studying in Matthew 6:34 and a perfect example for those who might be discouraged of the things that cross our paths from day to day.

Qi Le, who was close to going bankrupt and troubled of his problem, suddenly bumps into An Ching, young and fresh and motivated to catch her dreams. Although she almost got hot coffee spilled her, this did not discourage her and take note she told him while noting that Qi Le was troubled, that Tomorrow is another day!

Back tract 8 years later, she is in his shoes. Her husband is bankrupt, she is divorced, she has no money on her, and she is in the pedestal with her family if not dependent on her then, putting her under pressure into making them believe she is successful solely to prevent them especially her parents, after all she was the perfect and responsible child right? Qi Le returns her words back to her, gives her help and becomes her friend or most importantly someone wanting to be someone more than a friend to her. He was now the successful one, and you reap what you sow right? Goodness or kindness begets kindness and with good works there is always something good in return.

Qi Le also teaches us, that why must we worry about the past when all is a memory a history left behind, you can't change it unless in some oddity you can turn back time. He also teaches us that, if you continue to linger in the past or worry about tomorrow, it would be a waste of your time and thus you made yourself far more stressed.

Similarly, my AP psychology teacher taught me that why worry about the future when it does not exist? Circumstance can affect what happens, and the future is always changing. What could happen tomorrow for example, can be one of many things, as life is ever changing, you can never predict what would happen in the future unless it comes, therefore why stress over something that, "doesn't exist" or "hasn't happened yet"? To simply put, have you ever heard of the saying, "the past is a memory, the present is a gift, the future is a mystery?"

The bible also tells us not to worry about tomorrow because it too is a secret ready to unfold. It says that why must we worry about tomorrow when today has its own share of worries? If you have worries for today doesn't it seem even more burdensome to worry about another day that hasn't happen yet? Think about the "now"!

The lord encourages us that we must not worry about "tomorrow" when it would "worry about itself" and we should "focus" on "today's worries". In fact if we want to be happy and not be discouraged we should not think of our worries and let our god and savior take care of us, they won't leave us in fact they want us to depend on them! They are our anchors or rocks our strength to hold on to and lean on.

Take note on the other worries he encourages us on: we must not worry about others and how strong their faith is or whatever good they are doing, in parallel we too must not worry about the birds or trees or stray animals roaming by or what to wear or what to eat for they are things that does not require too much thought. The answer or solution to them is simple, grab the first thing you see or go with your gut instinct, what is more important is your faith and your soul.

While you per se, hound or criticize someone to not have the same religion as you or having no strong faith as you as well as probably ridiculing them for the wrong things they've done (like i guiltily do) you must also think of yourself or look at yourself. Why worry about someone else's soul and whether or not their soul is saved when you yourself don't know if you are saved. Do you do what you criticize others for? When you scorn someone for not listening to the worship lesson or for not reading the bible and etc, do you actually do what you scorn others for? Do you actually read the bible and understand it?

Sometimes we are all hypocrites, and sometimes that can be ridiculous to find yourself contradicting yourself and your own beliefs. So lets be honest here. Before you judge someone and others, our heavenly father in heaven and savior tells us: do not worry about these things (dogs or trees) because he has a way of giving them their needs - and this can also be used to refute those who claim "if god can find a way to feed these things or sustain nature why are there children starving around the world?" - My answer to that is simple, "there are kind hearted people like red cross or outreach programs who are trying to help the oppressed or needy, right? When Yolanda happen to the PI in 2014, the whole world helped right? How about those who were in danger during the past massive quakes? Or the relief of Hurricane Katrina and the aftershock in Japan creating havoc in its wake and wrecking a nuclear power plant?" Unless you are one of them, then don't be an imbecile who claims that god does not exist simply because you do not see him physically at work, when you yourself can't even help the poor or the hungry. Unlike you, if you aren't already one of them, there are more humble and kind people who are willing to help, and those people themselves, are THE INSTRUMENTS OF GOD. Don't know what that is? They are those people who god uses to deliver his gift, it is the grace and gift of our as well as jesus's salvation and these days it's rare to see kind hearted people like that.

Before you worry of other things with simple solutions, have you even considered if you yourself have been saved? If your soul is clean and perfect enough, touched and cleansed with the spirit and blood of our savior christ jesus? Have you performed good works even the simplest of things, prayed, read your bible, learned humility and asked for forgiveness? Have you recognized who your father and savior is: a friend and master? Have you faithfully served as a servant to him and followed his commandments? If so, have you become one with christ and the father through spirit and faith? Have you found joy with the good news (gospel/written word/bible) with thorough understanding, without question and with faith of its truth and our savior and father in your heart?

If you assert that, "how would you know the bible is true? It's just a book?", then let me tell you this, the bible itself is true because without your faith built upon christ and the good news/gospel, Jesus told us, that our faith in him is futile, useless. Why build a faith on christ but do not believe what the bible says? Its simply hypocritical.

If you on the other hand, say we came from monkeys and also claim from fishes, how can you defend yourself even more? A theory from fishes and monkeys or even platypuses is quite refutable don't you agree? Maybe even humor-worthy. I'd much more believe that aliens made us than that, and that theory is not that far away!

Yes maybe some part of the bible contradicts itself as well, but that's probably because you read but do not read in context or do not fully understand (I wouldn't say you are imcompetent because that is such a strong word, and if you were a fool, would you even read something so complex and confusing as the bible?), you too could be fooled of false doctrines, you could be pulling out verses from the bible but didn't read the other verses before and after that verse as what I've been reviewed upon by my fair share of read of Michael Shank's book, "Muscle and Shovel", and I couldn't agree more. For all we know you could be quoting Shakespeare or Lancelot or even Vice Ganda when truly it could be someone else! I'm not even making these names up, nor am I as stubborn as the characters in Michael's book or close minded for what I believe in, because hey, my friend told me that aliens might have created us, ans that almost had me when she based it on facts.

Also keep in mind, yes the refutable way to say the bible is questionable, is with all its versions and other doctrine's teachings. The truth is, yes the original bible was a compilation of books or scrolls written and inspired by the word of god. It is not some kind cult conspired by oligarchies to scare the public in theory to exercise control in the civilization with fear of god or a supreme deity. Like the famous quote, "We hold these truths as self evident..." like what our forefathers began to say in its famous document in winning our "inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and that "all men are created equal" quotes from the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Yes, we all know it was such a controversy, especially during the time of winning true freedom from whites to colored to men and now also women, it just goes to show that things are not always perfect and thus just proves that laws and documents tend to be flawed or basically not understood in full depth of the creator/author's original intent or meaning, especially with the continual translation of the bible to the point it had possibly lost its meaning, but that doesn't mean it lost its entirety itself. In Revelations it says that anyone who adds or takes away from what is written in the bible let him be damned or cursed. The bible although prone to be flawed when translated from Greek and Hebrew to many other languages, but at the end of the day, it's the closes thing we got from the original, and what other evidence do you monkey (ape)-platypus evolution theorist (evolutionists) got? Yes, it's rocket science my friend, with the technological world advancing and so is the expansion of the field of science, one would claim I'm being old fashioned here, that I am clearly not open minded and that I need to expand my horizon because, "its not two thousand and late" anymore it is the future, in years of time, not only did we accept what was not accustomed in the past like women not having rights, or gay marriage being legal, but we too can probably live in Mars or Pluto in the near future, and that is not that far away.

Yes I may sound like I'm contradicting myself, but drop your criticism for a while and if you claim I am not as open minded and am stubborn, then you should too. Listen to what I have to say first and then argue later because if you really were open minded you would not let your own anger or emotions control you and you would have continued to read until the end. For once be in the neutral side and reflect on both sides, if you think of it, yes both sides have a point, and Science and God is all the only truth we have in explaining why things are so, I am not a hater of science because I find it interesting, but if one claims the bible or religion itself is not perfect, then so can science, because unlike math, math would always have the same answer in the same problem or question while science although there are possibilities too, its not as perfect and everchanging and growing over time.

What people claim "conventional christians" or "traditional believers" to put it simply Old Testament Christians, is a strong label. You dont label people for what they are. Christians or those so called "believers" bare the name of christ, and they do not brag about it (although some of them do) by thinking they are more superior than any other religion, but religion is such a political term.

We (the real faithful christians) or New Testament Christians have a foundation of faith, because without faith in him (Jesus the son and God the father) then what we believe in has to be disregarded as well, ans thats the difference. When people claim that Christians are conservatives with strict rules who are not open minded becsude they believe in the bible and are not as open minded of the idea of "Gay Marriage", you would be surprised. That is partly correct, but not true.

New Testament Christians, or simply, Christians are followers of Christ. They believe Christ is the Immanuel, and that he is the son of God the father, and the bringer of peace. These people are those believers who through belief, were forgiven when Christ was nailed to the cross and carried our sins with him, that it was his blood that cleansed us from our sins. They believe that Christ built the church, he purchased it with his blood, and that he is the head of the church, one church which is his own church, it is the one body with the unity of everyone no matter who or what you are in one house. The bible is the sole foundation of their faith along with God and Christ, and as for those who claim that these people are hypocritical haters, then they are wrong. These people, the New Testament Christians believe that we live in the New Testament, or the current time. We are in the time of Christ, and the fact that, Jesus said he only had two rules when he died in the cross and these rules would take effecr in his church today: love one another and keep my commandments. He simply meant that no matter who you are do not hate one another or treat each other lowly and surely when he said keep his commandments, yes he did implied the 10 commandments: as a guide but because we are under his rule and not Moses, we simply look at it as a guide to perform good to one another and respect God's will, and what he really meant was HIS OWN TEACHINGS ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DOING GOOD and like today, unlike Old Testament Christians, no matter what you are whether you are a Servant or one prefering the same gender, he doesnt condemn you, you have an equal chance to go to heaven one day too, and thats the difference between the old and the New. You can't be mistaken by labeling all christians the same, in fact you treat it as a name as if it was your own and it is of one's belief, however sad that they wear the name, it is by how they are misguided, and again it goes back to how without the full extent of understanding the true meaning of God's Word. They claim that Gay marriage is immoral as they quoted in the Old Testament but in the New, it is abolished under Jesus's law. See how people can take out verses but do not read on to its full extent? Even one should know the Prostitute Jesus's disciples judged on Jesus's feet. Yes they knew the Law Of Moses, that prostitution was immoral, but if they do not do it willingly and want to change, who are they to be damned? Even Jesus knew this and said to them that yes it was true as to what the law says, but he will not condemn her, but as for them, if they are sinless, let they have the honor of condemning her, and that they were not sinless and walked away in shame. Jesus too told the prostitute to remove herself from her former doings and do not sin no more, and that is true forgiveness, and what I am pointing out.

The flaw of evolutionists on the other hand is that their theories have yet to keep being proven by "Science" and if memory and proof serves, why repeatedly confuse (and scare) the young in biology classes that we came from primates with big red butts and platypuses with paddle sized beaks? I don't suppose they already have the answer to which came first, "the CHICKEN or the EGG" because for us, the answer is plain and simple, it's evidently found in Genesis Chapter 1. He said (God) "let there be light and it was so", he created the heavens and the earth, from the beasts that roamed the earth to those that glided in the sky and those that dove and swam in the sea WITH JUST HIM SAYING IT AND IT WAS SO. He created Man from the dust in the ground and it breathed life, and woman from this man's limbs. He created the earth for 6 days and rested on the 7th, this explains why we have 7 days a week, now tell us oh wise genies, why say there is 7 days a week for 4 weeks in a month and 365 days in a year since the beginning of time? Wouldn't you be hypocritical in your answer because it was politically borrowed tradition from our ancestors and therefore inspired by the bible? If one can believe in the supernatural why not in the supreme deity? (Unless your reason is because you are narcissistic and you believe you are a god). If you believe in god, then why not put your faith in him and let him help you out of your worries and ask for wisdom and understanding instead of riches like the wise one, King Solomon?

I read something funny online, it was about Einstein. His professor criticized his faith refuting all the things to discourage and weaken his faith, but just because he doesn't answer your prayer, doesn't mean he isn't listening. Maybe it's because you lack faith or lack the heart of gold, god tests the human heart to see how far it can faithfully go through faith.
Einstein put his professor in his place, saying that although he can't see and touch god physically with faith he does exist, and mind you; while that Professor not only got told off and humiliated by a young adult named Albert Einstein, he did not become blessedly famous to be known as the father of relativity for solving E equals mc square as Einstein was. Yes you can search it online or in facebook.

If you are strong in faith, like Job and Jesus despite the trials that discourage you, you would refuse the devil's temptation and by faith in christ tell him (the devil) to vanish from your sight. If you really are like Job, you'd know that even after you lost everything and even for a moment falter and question your faith, that strong foundation of faith, your heart if it really was like gold, no matter how stomped you are by the bad things or trials put onto you, if you endure you will receive the eternal gift of life which is in heaven.

A heart of gold is like one being put to the test, if your heart was really gold set into the various trials, in this case a fireplace, or simply heat, if it really was gold, it wouldn't melt or falter. If it endures and in fact like real gold, heat would very much make it more refined. Simply put, if you can't endure the heat of trials, no matter how painful and you easily let yourself give up, then your foundation of faith is weak. Therefore it is a given and I hate to break it to you, but you can't be deserving of selfishly getting what you ask for, did you even sincerely ask for it? When you pray do you even pray simply for the joy, thanks and praise? Or do you only do it simply just to pray when you are discouraged or in need of something? This is not ridiculing you or trying to offend you my friend, wouldnt that mean you are just selfish but do not wish to thank him for everything he has given you or blessed you with, since day one? While believing in god and Christ you WILL FACE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. You are in a constant war between Good and Evil, and how you react in these trials and tribulations is what the devil is eager to see, he wants you to squirm and writhe! He wants you to curse god for your belief and unanswered prayers, and this discouragement is how god tests you.

Yes, it is a fact that God is like feeding you to a lion when you are in a pinch, but that doesnt mean he isnt there, remember the story of the young David? How about Daniel? Whenever David was in a pinch God was there, and when he bravely challenged the giant Philistine Goliath, he claimed that why should he be scared when God is in his side? And with his experience of God putting him in a pinch, was all that experience not worth it? That proves the saying, no pain, no gain. That said, God and Jesus is our pillar of strength, and we bear the protection through our shield or armor of faith.

If you are easily discouraged then the devil wins, after all: the "easy way out" and the human desire of "wanting things less painful" is what the devil uses to tempt you with. And God allows him to, to see if you really are strong in faith. If you, a fellow with a heart of gold endures and disregards this discouragement by the devil however, with god, there is nothing to fear (also nothing is impossible) because he is by your side and that fact alone means you win. God is JUST (fair) and he wants to see whether "not being in your side" for a moment would prove your true strong faith in him and when he does, that is when he will help you win.

Who said that believing in him was easy? If it was, everyone should have believed and if faith made you rich you'd probably billionaires by now, rich in faith and in money. But that is not the case, everyone can also believe but not truly believe. Its like saying something but not really meaning it, don't you agree? And that is the biggest trial we are constantly facing everyday. Having faith but not truly believing in his grace is like worshipping the dead and god does not want dead worshippers, that is why he puts you to the test. He wants to see us loving him and praising him and of course serving him, with all our hearts, mind, and soul. He wants us to have an active faith, one that is continually growing with our spirit. He wants us to accept him as our father, master, friend, and savior like Christ Jesus. I am not trying to spread evangelism here (or maybe I am) nor am I trying to convert anyone or trying to get anyone to go to my church although that's part of my mission but not by force or manipulation, its up to you to decide what to do and at the end of the day, we are all simply the children of our heavenly father and like my preacher and fellow brethren and sisters, become a source of inspiration to lead people back to him as the many instruments of god.

You do not have to know every single verse, although that would have arguably made my points stronger. The truth is I can't remember the direct verses in the bible references and take note I only quoted or inserted one verse. A true follower knowledgeable of the gospel would know the deep meaning of these verses as they hold it in their hearts as something most precious. I may not remember the exact verse but i know where to start from and look and what it means because I studied it from someone before and I hold it self evident that through faith I know that I should follow the path (and study the word daily for a stronger faith) that is only or solely right and by the will of the lord.

Just Can't think

What is the difference between Like and Love?

Liking someone and Loving someone although they go hand in hand and sometimes awfully mistaken by many as the same thing, there is an actual different - a big one - between the two. Loving someone is when your happiness depends on the happiness of the person you love, and sometimes, this could be a mutual attraction between both parties. Liking on the other hand, is crushing on a person, or simply liking a person for their admirable qualities. In my previous post, I explained that my friend and I solely debate on physical attractions, and linking to that would be crushes.

There is no denying that crushing is a natural feeling any adolescent or human being would feel in their life time. We have all these crushes we might still remember, sometimes, these are called our first loves. I have a big problem with crushing on guys, but that's not important, they are simply a passing thought any of us would dismiss as "oh that persons cute" but not the deeper level of physical attraction to the point where you actually want them to be your lover or be intimately closer with them.

So back to the difference between like and love. There has only been two guys I had openly expressed to my friends about having a crush on or "like". So let's take a little in depth analysis to this shall we? My first crush, besides the puppy crush i'd have in elementary, and this was seriously one that was long, lasted 5 years. I had a crush on him since Jr. High school, and as I explained to my odd taste, was slender, gentleman-ish, shy, and mysterious. He was cute too, short probably around my height. He graduated a year ago, and my feelings for him simply vanished way before he left when I've met my current crush. Similarly, this guy is mysterious, shy, slender, but really tall. While I mainly hadn't expressed my feelings about guys to my friends, oddly enough i was open about these two guys. And while, the guy I liked for 5 years gave me this butterflies feeling and was my first source of inspirations in all things I did, my other guy just messes with my head. I don't even know the difference between liking and loving anymore. Whenever I do something, I'd think of him, and this time when I was in church we were singing a song that had his name, and then in opening prayer, I started thinking about him. Which is really bad because its getting worst everyday.

I always told myself that I'm okay with liking people, that is crushing on people, using them as my inspiration, but then when its with him, its a whole new situation, if I liked the first guy for 5 years, why did everything change all of a sudden? Why did those 5 years get wasted, and why was this new guy affecting my life as it already is? I've never cried over a guy before, and surely this guy was the first. I get annoyed thinking about liking him, and I'm super awkward whenever I am around him. I'd steal peeks of him when he is not looking, and I just can't bring myself to interact with him without making a total fool of myself in front of him. I can't even focus on my work because all i think about is him. And what makes it worst, is that it just gets worst everyday because i have to deal with seeing him everyday.

We talked online, and he's pretty cool guy, but then i'm just so awkward up front and personal. I just don't know how to interact with him. And whenever I ignore him in class, is what makes it even awkwarder on both our parts. At first it was simply a crush, I like him, and I wanted to start out as friends with him, until it just got worst over the whole year, and I get jealous easily when he talks to other girls, whenever we are around each other inside i'm happy but outside i'm blushing. I get really nervous, and I've never even felt this way to my first crush which was 5 years long.

So love or like? It started out as like, in other words, crushing. And then I realized after all the shit load of messages i've been exchanging with my friend, although I always deny it, its obvious as they say "I love him". But then what if I don't want to love, or at least I'm not ready? What if I am just okay with crushing on that person without expecting him to like me back and I'm just okay with using him as my source of inspiration? I am not even ready to go into a relationship, in fact, if someone asked me out right then and there, or if he does, I don't even know how i'd react. I seriously just don't know, I would be stunned, I would be mind blown, I just don't know how I would react to that. And now that I am almost graduating and nothing is progressing between us, it just keeps getting worst, and I just want it all to stop, but how? Can you train yourself not to fall in love? That's why we fall right? Because we don't intend to, but sometimes something makes us trip and makes us fall into these confusing feelings? My other friend feels the same way, she's so tired of being confused she wished she was a robot, and I wish I was too, because as of now my priority is my future ahead of me, but how can I focus with him plaguing my mind.

It's that crazy little thing called love of course, we don't know when cupid would strike because love moves in mysterious ways, and that is why sometimes we blindly fall in love, and sometimes fall for the wrong people, but sometimes, we too learn from our mistakes, and eventually get used to our feelings.

Physical Attraction

So here's the thing about me. I tend to crush on a lot of cute guys, and my single taste is just a turn off to most people (like people would even like a wallflower like me). So me and my friend have this sort of debate. Girls, what's your view on this? A hot shirtless guy with massive abs and toned muscles or shrimp shy guys, tall, sweet and mysterious? So, me and my friend can both agree on whats hot, I mean we have somewhat a similar taste, but then our internal taste is just way too different and thankfully that's what makes us best of friends. Its such a relief that we can't crush on the same guy. But anyway, so we currently both have our own crushes, and yes we are love sick puppies. And our debate still stands, which is normal for a girl to think about in a man? Or what is the typical physical features a woman should look in a man?

I personally prefer, Asian guys (must be a really bad habit from watching too many k-dramas and anime) not too skinny and not too bulky. Collarbones are really sexy, and shoulder blades.... slender guys with a little meat is fine I guess (and yet I argued to my other guy friend that's its not like i'd eat him when he complained that my crush was super skinny without any meat on him) baby faces but not too babyish, tall, and mysterious. I don't know, its just in my nature to fall for shy mysterious guys.

My friend complains that he doesn't has an ass because *coughs* too skinny, and she on the other hand prefers guys with ass, and i'm just like, gurl do you only look on people's ass? And she'd say, asses are hot, and its part of the survival, and I'm like, it's not like I'd even want to touch it. She likes muscular guys, hot bad boyish guys, sporty, tanned, and all those good stuff average girls fall for.

Then this one time she told me that I needed help from a friend and sends me 6 different pictures of half naked guys, each although smoking sexy and hot, just isn't my type. I mean I acknowledge the fact that they are sexy, hawt, and damn they really have a banging hawt body, but then, something about men with too many muscles frightens me. It feels like a symbolism of dominance, power, abuse, maybe its just me with my past, but there is something with my preference that is innocent and unique. Stereotypically, although not all guys with muscles are like this, guys with masses of muscles tend to be aggressive, and although you'd feel warmer wrapped around with all those corded muscles, I feel the sense of innocence and security with an average body of a man, not that I mean just any kind of body of man or man at that matter, but a slender figure, maybe a little athletic built like a slight tone of biceps, but abs, aren't things i'd want to find in a potential love interest. Finally, my idealism of a guys physical features, is just as I had said, I want to feel warm without someone with a showy body, cuddle with him somewhere with his strong hold, and not just plain muscle.

The Vampire Diaries

So all my life I can't believe I've been living in a hole. I'm kinda probably the type of gal like many who'd sit in a corner and watch Korean dramas for hours with all the fangirling kawaii-ness, kilig, and all those good stuff gushing out of me. My friend's been trying to break me out of the habit and expose me to what typical adolescent teenage girl should watch, and yes you guessed it, it's Vampire Diaries. Team Stefen all the way btw. I mean i'm so into those sexy vampire or werewolf paranormal romance things, chick lit to be exact, and what more with a sexy series such as this?!

So my friend's been getting me into this, and its not even past 10 minutes of the first episode and i'm already hooked. And to all those girls likes them going shirtless all the time, this is the drama for you XD. I just started the first season, 3 episodes per day, and so far so good! My other friend's like, I'm judging you so hard for missing out all these years, but eventually she'd sit besides me and we'd share one earphone, going nuts with all whats happening in the show. Earlier today, we were in class, and we can't help but make inappropriate sounds while the class is going on, and the other students would be looking at us from time to time, and apparently paying close attention to our facial reactions.

So what is this Vampire Diaries you say? To make it simple, its a must watch series, with a large fan base world wide. Its currently, as of now as I type, on Season 6. The story takes place in 2009, a year after Elena's parents death. She had just got over her survival, and now here she is contemplating all the weird shit that's been happening in mystic falls. She's got two hot vampires crushing on her, and ironically enough she's the doppelganger of their solely first love. Now the two vampires have been turned when they were 17, and their story goes years back, Kathrine, the female vampire and object of their love, turned the two brothers in hopes of their forever, but for her own agenda. When Kathrine dies by a fire, comes Elena whose not only shutting out everyone from asking her if everything was alright, having a drug addict-sick puppy (but hawt) of a younger brother to deal with, and a new vampire boyfriend in town with much secrets to tell, her world changes and this is just the beginning.

There is so many things I want to say, I don't even know if my summary was even appropriate, but basically that's the wisp of it, and you just have to watch it to find out too!

Thoughts on Piracy?

Although I agree that piracies threaten media artists and authors of their livelihood, I myself can’t imagine a world without free access to sites featuring downloadable books, music and videos for free. Over the years, technology has advanced, and we too have evolved into a hidden era of pro-piracy. We could freely get what we want with a simple touch of a button, and it’s not surprising how musicians, artists and authors cry out for help especially when we selfishly leech off torrents without paying for the legit thing. This however result into a negative impact on these hard working artists, who solely depend on their “piece of art” for a livelihood, and the last thing they’d want to hear is the lacking percentage of their salary solely because fans prefer to cheat them off by getting it free by illegal means.

However, the world today is slowly accepting piracy, slowly but surely everything we once have to pay for is easily accessible. Sad as it may appear for these hardworking souls, there is no denying the human nature to desire the easier way out of the problem. The world revolves around money, as we can all see it, and without it how else could we find the means to survive? People are getting creative as they steal these artists livelihood to make it easier on our part to access them by giving it to us gift wrapped with the words written FREE on the card they came along with. However nothing in life is free, and thus not all of the things we desire online could be found instantly as we thought. Because we don’t have the means to buy an album or book, or simply we’d prefer to get the save and find easier way out of the situation by illegal means, we rob these artists broke, tearing their zest to continue on to what they love to do, and breed a generation of thieves.

Finally in my opinion, I believe that we have a right to free music, books, and videos solely because these arts aren’t really as essential as food and water. I am not saying that we should make these fine artists penniless for their hard work, but what I’m saying is that, if music and books and videos hadn’t have a price tag, wouldn’t people steal less and resort to the final means of piracy? Provided that the option to support the artists, musicians and authors, it’s a win-win situation for both parties. Regardless, the fact that money is the sole issue here, maybe it’s up to the artists to decide whether they’d make their work of art free of charge, or as is labeled with a price tag. 

Piercings

Its only natural for a lady to get piercings, its a representation of our femininity, or in my case womanhood. Usually a child is given piercings days after birth or while they are young so it isn't painful and guess what in the old days it was needles! Eww, blood... I can't stand the thought of needles poking through me more or less getting a shot! I just got mine yesterday, (wow 17 is pretty old dontcha think?) and I'm starting to regret it. First of all, I can't sleep on my side so expect me to have a visible eye bag. Everytime my ear hits something its painful, and did you know that heavy earrings is just a no no? I mean seriously how can someone wearing like 10 lbs worth of golden hoola hoops on their ears. Just like a milimeter it feels like pulling my head down, and you know mine is still going numb with pain? This morning I accidentally hit it and it flew off and since I don't know how to put the frickin thing my brother did it for me, how unpleasant. I had to stand the pain because it was closing pretty quick, and I keep forgetting its there so when I fall asleep in one of my lapses it just painstakingly ears. 

Oh gosh im rambling again, but any who, short story, my mum who usually find me tomboyish said: you're finally a woman, hence the fact that I've been wearing pearls which I rarely do and usually loathe, but I think I can't get use to it. Anyway, that's all I have for you ~

"For words have the power to change us"

Shout out to all those writers, for the blood and sweat you put just to make wonderful books; to those readers who go blind for sleepless nights trying to finish every series of your favorite books; and to those who just love words whether on twitter, fb or Instagram posts. 

Cassandra Clare once said, and it is quoted in one of her works called "the infernal devices" by Tessa I'm not sure which book Im pretty sure it was clock work prince or clockwork angel that "... For words have the power to change us..." And its true. 

On my 17th birthday a friend of mine gave me a card, simple, cute, and I still keep with me. I'd sit at the corner smile to myself and re-read it with beads of tears on the verge of falling of the slit of my eyes. My friend is quite a bookworm and she always recommend books she knows I would like, the total best friend and she totally know my taste ;) 

So mid semester, I've been reading Cassandra Clare's books, and like she said I would go through a emotional rollercoaster just as she did. Recently I read that line she quoted from the book and oh my gosh >.< its true. I've never realize how books and words changed me, how every imagery and detail managed to capture my senses, how every word leads to a different world.  

I myself am a blooming writer, freelancing and weaving word for word through a page, although I am not confident with my occasional writers block and most of the time I am not satisfied with my work, I understand how writers feel, that it isn't easy. My eyesight lately is gradually taking its toll in heading downhill even glasses isn't enough, I'm gaining weight for laying all day drafting, and occasionally receive headaches just to make the perfect recipe for my works. 

I praise all those writers who made a difference and is making millions, and to those bookworms out there, I praise you!

Keep reading, keep believing, keep imagining for words really do change us all~ 

Summer 2k14

This year had been one of the best, one of the years I would treasure, and one of the years I'm proud to say would stick in my shadow for the rest of my life. Since the last three years I entered high school I always felt locked in my  shell (although this is still true) I realized that  I've open up more especially to my friends. This year, many things happened and I'm surprised it past by as quickly as I had expected it to. There was tears, there were grudges, there were wild experiences, and of course there were sweet moments, and one of the highlights of this year was my, hands down, love life. Yes, I never speak about my love life before not even to my parents, god knows they think i'm a tomboy. But my friends who had teased me, joined my 'kilig' or should i say butterflies in my stomach puppy love crush stage, I had to say, they, despite their annoyingness, were the only ones I could trust. My pixie mom who first gave me my ship name Panine, To my friend enemy who gave me Jemmanuel and thus the spark of my fandom of Jemachu, this was one hell of a year. 

The picture above, like the very first few post I had was our annual World Resort trip, Summer 2k14 kick off, sadly there was too much drama on that day, but all in all (although this a way to late post) was a day well spent. I lost 1 lb for 4 hours worth of sun BBQ, and man am I going to spend the whole summer sun tan whitening! 

Well, that's all I have for you, and thanks for sticking around and reading my crap... may you have a splashing summer! ~
