A moving story

When it comes to domestic animals, most of us just treat them as well... PETS. However, some of us may not cherish them as much as others as many find it bothersome to train them, clean them, and feed them. Many of us would prefer to throw them/disown them and even send them away, to be euthanized because you simply can't understand them.

But did you know that you mean the world to them?


Pets are one of a kind, because of their undying love and affection, protection and comfort. So would you bear to leave your pet behind?

Oxymorons

To: No one in particular


If the Dark is an oxymoron of Light,
If a Lie is an oxymoron of the Truth,
If War is an oxymoron of Peace,
If Hate is an oxymoron of Love,
Then You must be an oxymoron of Me.

Regrets

Just a week ago, a lady came knocking on my door. My brother, Jason (who was having his dinner) attended to her while I was somewhere around the house (I can't really remember). After awhile, I came out to see the lady walk away from our door with a disgruntled look on her face. I asked Jason what she was selling and he said that it was a really small bag that was charged at $10 for one.

Obviously it was a rip-off, but soon after he was done with his dinner, he actually ran all the way down to buy the bag from her. Before I could say anything, he told me to he knows what I'm thinking; that I wanted to chide him for wasting money as the only reason why he bought the bag because the lady was pretty-looking, but then, he told me the actual reason as to why he bought the bag.

He felt guilty.


What on Earth did she do to him that made him feel guilty?

Well, I soon found out from him that the lady was selling the bags to collect funds for the victims of the recent hurricane and quake victims. How can he not donate and don't feel guilty about it when it is after all, for a good cause?


I wasn't surprised at what Jason did, because after all, he is that kind of person who believes in doing good for others.


There have been many other occasions where he, despite being extremely tired from work, would help out in completing stuff (won't go into the details), constantly repeating that "If I don't help, who will?" or "we are after all a family. What's the point in hating him when everyone else hates him too?".


I guess the last point really makes sense, be it to our family, friends, etc...


How can we hate someone when they are already hated by everyone else. Wouldn't that make us like everyone else too?


I guess you should know where I'm heading this blog entry to, to my classmates of course. I know this is totally not the right way to 'advertise' our class issues, but I'm not literally saying that this is an issue that is only between us classmates. In fact, it's to everyone else that's been judging everyone else.


Do you remember how we always told ourselves to not judge a book by its cover, yet every time we failed to do so? Take Susan Boyle for example. Everyone clearly thought she was a waste of time, but the moment she opened her mouth, she became a star. And it was only after she proved her worth, that we began reminding ourselves to not judge a book by its cover.


That phrase isn't supposed and should never work as a 'reflecting' phrase that we recite only once things are over. We should never judge a book by its cover, that should be a reminder BEFORE we do anything, be it make decisions or pass judgment.


The same goes to our classmates, or friends, or even strangers. Sometimes, we can't help but make them as the butt of our jokes, but how would you feel if you were them?


I'd like to apologize to these people, because I too have been a fool as I thought that I was no where like them, but I was wrong because everyone was judging me too.


But I'd like to salute these people for their undying determination to stay true to themselves.


Come on people, look at yourself. The main reason why you speak like how you do or dress like how you are, like everyone else is because you are afraid of standing out or being weird.

I don't really think anyone's weird here, because we always term these "outcasts" as weird, but face it. Who's the weird one, that have clones of yourself all over the place? Decency doesn't really come from your dressing, but your character, that's what I think.


Okay, I'm not going to pick a fight with anyone. What I'm trying to say is that everyone is unique in their own special way and they should stay true to themselves. No one needs to change or give anyone else an explanation for their trends and character. That's how the way they are, and we should accept them for who they are. You never know the type of shit they've been through to literally judge them.

I guess CDEV class changed my perception of things.


On the other hand, what should change is people's perspective and judgment of other people. Instead of siding the majority, why not pay a little attention to the minors for a minute eh?


I'm not saying I'm been the innocent one throughout because I'm not, but I'm willing to learn to change my perspective.


So here's an apology to these people, and a rock on to them too, for being awesome and staying true to themselves.


And here's an open invitation to everyone. Let's just stop judging and chill out yeah? I'm up for some picnic, games and jumbled group discussions. Now who's with me?


If we just keep hating everyone, nothing's gonna work.

The Light Up Shirt

So as usual I was surfing Youtube, and I came across this really cool video of a shirt called the 'T-qualizer'. Just watch it:




There's a lot of different versions on the net right now, but I managed to find the 'actual' webiste, or rather the one that started this really cool trend, and they are called the light up shirt.


And though I like the first video better, the original shirts are pretty neat as well!

Turn-table




The Chiller





But still, there are so many awesome designs!










Now me want some T-qualizer too!


Wouldn't it be great to wear one during lecture? Imagining it moving to the lecturer's voice on the mic. Hilarious and distracting!
