Lost... and Found

Today, I cried.... Once, while I was talking to a friend about getting a Twitter account I remember she said " Twitter is like so stupid! You basically have to tweet all you do.. like you fart, you tweet 'I farted' " Now, although I told her how wrong she was, I couldn't help myself from laughing! I mean, yeah that's what most people now do, just use the social networks in shallower and shallower ways, that those networks lose the meaning they once held "to connect people". And the first sentence in my post probably gave you the same impression. XD But for a feelingless (which by the way, I know isn't a word that exists in the dictionary, yet I believe describes me perfectly that I decided to use it. It just sounds right; I mean "unfeeling", the "right"word just sounds wrong to me! Feelingless has more emotion, you know.. so the next time they ask you where you got a word you feel comfortable using from, you tell them

The END?! TOO SOON!

So today is a very special day! I realized yesterday, while talking to a friend, that two months would have passed since I started my blog by today! My first post was on 10/21/12! Yeah, and there is this small fact that it's 21/12/12 and all.. XP We're not dead are we?! If you don't know what 21/12 is... then you live under a rock, sorry won't explain it.. ;P But if you were one of the millions out there who a couple of years ago got shocked with the fact that you may "scientifically" die so soon, then welcome aboard! I was in 8th grade when I first found out. So, being the obsessed environmentalist I was then (well, I still believe in "Healing the World" like Micheal Jackson put it, but now I am hated for being obsessed with politics.. I mean think of it.. It all has to do with politics doesn't it?!) I took it seriously, because it does make sense if you give it a good thought.. scientifically speaking again. The hilarious part wa

Ha! Tangible Proof!

Woow.. My last post was on 16 November! A whole month without blogging! No wonder I've been weird lately.. =D.. It's not that I haven't been writing.. Just that I found out "blogging" a different experience.. How it is in some sense more an act of "venting" than anything else... ANYHOW! I haven't been busy with SAT's and school only, people! Along with some other stuff in the Student Council, I've been on this fundraising project, (guess I inspired myself.. lol). And it has been just GREAT! Ok, ok.. we're still on it. We actually started the campaign last year as part of the Student Council, but this year, it's only us.. Just a group of volunteers on their own, and it's a whole different experience! That mean more responsibility, but I'm loving every single part of it! What motivated us the most to relaunch the campaign was how much we enjoyed it last year, and how much help we got from everyone. I was especially awed

People Die you know!

Let's start off with newsflash: Vampire Diaries launched a killer fourth season ,   Obama won the elections ,     Harvard increased it's tuition (again!) ,   Israel bombed Gaza ,   and  the last El Classique ended in a 2-2 tie. What were your reactions? Let me guess: Tell me something I don't know, Yeah, go Obama (or not..), Why are they so damn expensive?!, Aha....., Bummer..Can't Barca get good defense and stop counting on Messi only?! Right? Right?! At least I'm close, right?! Oooohkay... So I know I said that I'll talk about some chit-chatty topic this time, but (there's always a "but" isn't there?!) how can I possibly talk about the weather when there are people dying each day because of our unfeeling recklessness? I know this would sound a little too dramatic, but think of it... So today I wake really early and start off a very normal weekend day in which I: Half-heartily do the requested chores Pretend to have some brea

Rebellion.. the unforgivable sin..

Image
Oookay.. so this entire "blogging S.A.T essays" didn't work out. (I can almost sense the relieved faces), because I already finished the exam before yesterday. But either ways, you really don't want me to start rambling about how depressing that was (S.A.T is a nuisance! Ok ok I'll stop now..), so let's start off where we left off.  Let's see.. ah rebellion, that unforgivable sin.. that crime your parents scold you all the time for committing, or that your colleagues at work would never back you up in, or students at school.. etc.. So to rebel, you must have some pretty good reason right? And when you do have that reason, what next? The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.- Albert Camus  Indeed, the biggest threat to an oppressive government is the free mind, free of all prejudices, of all  that nonsense they try fill your mind with of hopelessness and helplessness.

The Big Bad Wolf and A lot of Little Red-hooded People

Now there are seriously A LOT of stuff to write about this topic, but not to waste the poor reader's time, and, well, maintain his or her sanity, I'll try and be as concise as possible. So who's fault is it that the global economy has been declining like crazy in the past decade? Who is it that we should blame for Global Warming or "the lack of ethics" which is now an optimistic expression describing a waaaay worse situation! Who is it who's responsible for all the corruption?! Well, let me tell you the manner you are asking these questions in your mind right now defines which side you're on. Are you trying to find an excuse for every fault you do? Or genuinely trying to solve a problem? You see, to approach such a question as "who's fault it is" you have to look to a ton aspects in society. The actions one person, two, a hundred compared to billions on Earth might be negligible. But one influential person: No. That's why it's alwa

A Bunch of Universal Questions...

Bah! Oh God this is exhausting! I mean seriously! Concentration is like the one thing I can't  get myself to do! And of coarse based on that, I find myself missing out on all this stuff! I mean this is the reason I started this blog anyway: to get some rest from all the buzzing thoughts in my head! So let's get down to business. With the zillion questions facing us in life, we are bound to make A LOT of choices everyday. I mean think of all the questions you get asked for a feakin' cup of coffee! So here's what I'll do. Each day I'll pose one of those "Universal" questions, try and come up with something wise to say, and then leave the judgement to you. And if you didn't buy any of what I just said, Yes I do have my SAT's in less than two weeks, and the essay is freakin' the hell outa me! But all the same, being the optimist I am (or trying to be... nothing works better than inverse psychology... or so I was told XP) I believe that t

The Road Not Taken…. Or Not...

Our lives are nothing but routes to our goals. And it is up to us to choose the right path to what we define as success. This reminds me of one of Robert Frosts' less popular poems but one of my favorites all the same: "The Road Not Taken".   Here it is to remind you all, or introduce it to those who don’t know it (shame on you XP):     Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,  And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden b
