We are humans. As humans, we feel. When we are happy, we smile, we laugh. When we are sad, we cry. When we hurt, we bleed. And when I bleed, I put a band aid on wherever the wound is. I don’t like seeing the wound, I don’t like seeing the blood. I don’t want to see a reminder of the hurt. So yes, I’m an advocate of putting a band aid on it. No matter how small a wound is, no matter how obstructed from sight it is, put a band aid on it. Doesn’t matter if the wound ... Read more

Follow your pain is the contrast of the famous line follow your bliss. Most of our pains in life ought to tell us something or rather to teach us something. But sometimes, we tend to miss the lessons because pain as path to follow is never ideal. We even tend to do away from it as much as possible. But perhaps, following your pain will lead you into something. The journey may not be as light as following your bliss but surely there is something significant that you may discover as you go along or as you arrive at the ... Read more

Jan Beranek of Greenpeace quoted; “There is always a risk that either the technology or the nuclear materials can fall into the wrong hands”, on the new energy alternative called nuclear fusion which uses water and/or its isotopes as fuel and convert it to an extravagant amount of energy and in turn, power. Wikipedia defines; Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or “fuse”, to form a single heavier nucleus. This is usually accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. Fusion is the process that powers active stars, the ... Read more

Gin Ichimaru is one of my top lister favorite anime character from the series/manga written by Tite Kubo, Bleach. He is the captain of the 3rd Division in the Gotei 13 until he betrays Soul Society, and became a commander of Sōsuke Aizen’s arrancar army. That’s all we know before the final chapters of Arrancar saga. Later we realized that he is a man whose real intent is hidden behind his smiles and in his rarely opened eyes. Professor Severus Snape, on the other hand, is a potion master of Hogwarts, the famous school of sorcery and witchcraft in the Harry Potter series. Envious ... Read more

We are a race capable of great compassion and of great violence.  “Optimus Prime” (Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen) Humans have been born with two specific tendencies, to be good and to be evil. Our freewill has always been challenged with these tendencies. True, sometimes it is easy to fall into temptation and just be as evil as you can be. In facing life’s circumstances, things have always been twice as tough as choosing the right thing and actually doing it. What makes it difficult? Choosing right over wrong? Doing something right over something wrong? The difficulty may arise ... Read more

Feeling too much sometimes make us afraid of what may come next. To feel too much especially for someone makes us vulnerable since it threatens our own protective instinct for our own existence. It makes us aware that one strange person in this entire world manage to matter in our life. It makes us crave for something that wasn’t part of our being, that wasn’t there in the first place, but that something made everything in us insignificant. The shift from our own possessiveness in our lives to that of someone else weakens our individuality.  At some point, we manage ... Read more

I am always thinking how much this building painter is paid of. Was his salary enough for him to take this risk? Painting on top of the building with just a rope tied on his waist is not enough to guarantee his safety. Why did the contractors allow this? Why don’t they provide a safer harness? Nothing terrible happened to the painter but , I believe, we should not wait for that terrible thing to happen before we act. This video was taken June 13 of 2011.

Wow! I don’t read the books so I only found this out when I saw the final installment of Harry Potter Series- Severus Snape is protecting Harry Potter from the very beginning. He is Hogwart’s Potions Master, though he is widely rumoured to covet the Defence Against the Dark Arts post as shown in the first book. Snape is a sinister and malicious teacher who makes frequent snide and disparaging remarks at Harry’s expense. He quickly becomes the primary antagonist of the book, as Harry suspects him of plotting to steal the philosopher’s stone, and of attempting to kill him. ... Read more
