:)

I've been thinking a lot these past few days. I often find myself lying in bed, thinking of ways how to get rich. I thought about networking, writing for magazines and newspapers and I thought about opening a booth in the mall. Yeah. I thought about becoming a PSP technician. funny right?

What about you? have you thought of any way to get rich off your own abilities? I can write, but I can't write as good as some of my classmates. I don't know, maybe I'll get better. maybe not today, but someday. 

I should really fix my sister's PSP. But I don't have the right software for it. Looks like I'm off to get it upgraded tomorrow. What? upgrade it myself? I could... but then again, since I'm inexperienced, I might do something stupid and accidentally Brick the PSP. Which will be a bigger problem.

So... whatever. let's eat dinner. I've been hungry for hours.

What NOT to do in class

This list is inspired by Spongebob's essay: "What not to do at a Stop Light". May this porous creature continue to inspire us. 

1. Running into the classroom yelling TROLLLLLLL!!!! IN THE DUNGEON!!  TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!! pausing, and adding "thought you oughtta know" before fainting. Your professor would probably be confused because of the fact that your school doesn't even have a dungeon. Though there are a lot of trolls in the teachers' lounge.

2. Flying US Drones and making them crash into the professor's face. Though it may look like it, your professor's face is not an island and it is never a good idea to land/crash a drone in their face. Not only will they be mad, but they may start war against your country-- I mean your class.

3. Offering your teacher a pack of cigarettes. With the price of of cigarettes these days, professors will most likely refuse your offer for a smoke. the cigarettes will be worth more than their salary anyway. You're better off selling them elsewhere. Besides, I don't think your classmates will be very happy with the cigarette smoke.

4. Answering "love" to all the teachers' questions. I was once told that Love was always the answer. But professors don't agree. So if you're asked "what is the squareroot of 40,000?" answering "Sir, I believe, that the squareroot of 40,000 divided by the speed of sound, times the number of pores in your body is equals to love." will get you thrown out of the classroom and possibly dropped from the class.

5. Cheering your professor. The job of an instructor is quite stressful and is always hard work for them. And sometimes, students like to show their appreciation to their professors by doing kind acts. But cheering your professor while he is trying to discuss the lesson in hand is NOT the answer. As he discusses "Feature writing is blah. blah. blah. blah." And you go "YEAH!!! WOOH!!! GO FEATURE WRITING!!!!! KICK BUSINESS JOURNALISM'S @$$!!!" Again, you will most likely be kicked out of the room.

6. After the Professor finishes describing a really long and hard project that needs to be finished in three weeks, DO NOT FLIP THE TABLE. even worse, DO NOT FLIP YOUR PROFESSOR. His injuries might remind him to fail you in his class.

7. DO NOT PRESS THE "EJECT THE PROF" BUTTON! It's a trap. it may look like some drawing by some bored student, but it's actually real and if pressed may actually eject the prof! hmm... come to think of it, maybe it is a good idea to press it.


I wanted ten items for this post. I can't think of anymore.If you have suggestions, I'd be happy to post them here as add-ons.

Changing Times

Traditions are dying fast. The things we were used to are slowly being replaced by gadgets which tend to make us lazy. A good example of this is the internet.

In the days when our parents were in school, when homework was to be done, the library was their internet. Hours will be spent locked away in that place. Not daring to leave until every question is answered. Today, thirty minutes will be enough to finish a simple homework. You don't even read it. you just copy and paste your homework, you pass it and you pass the class! The rest of your time is wasted socializing with "friends", or so they are called online. Students today are slowly forgetting that to get good grades actually meant spending a shit load of time studying and not just staring at pictures of five British gays.

Another thing, the camera. We have come a long way from the first camera in the world. Which was this big ass thing that only professionals could carry. These days, stupid little girls can take a shit load of their pictures and post them on the internet thinking everyone gives a crap about how much make up they put on their faces. today, cameras are owned by just about anybody and are playing a big role in media because CCTV footage is now being used by more and more establishments and criminals are being caught in action and are identified easily because of it.

Back then, kids would be home by 6pm for the evening prayers. Now, it's just a matter of curfew.... or when they feel like coming home. Sometimes I feel like we're losing our identity along with our traditions and old ways. Although progress is good, I can't help but feel sad knowing that the things I grew up with are going to be considered "obsolete".

I made a promise to myself, that when I become a parent, I'll try my best to make my kid appreciate the old ways. I'll make him read books instead of E-Books. I'll make him learn things and not just depend on Google for everything. I'll make him listen to music that isn't about partying and getting drunk and doing drugs. I'll make him appreciate how life was when I was a kid. I'll try to be the parent that won't let her kid be swallowed up by technology and take for granted the simple joys in life. And lastly, I want him to know that being there for someone, is the best gift you can give a friend.

I want more parents today to understand, that buying expensive gifts for your kid is all well and good, but please try to teach them manners and values. Most kids today don't respect elders and it makes me want to hit them. So parents, please do your jobs.

Where did the love go?

I remember days when just seeing your face made my day.
I remember days when being with you was all I needed.
Now to look at you brings tears to my eyes,
And to be with you meant a silence so awkward it could kill.
Where did the Love Go?

I remember the classes we skipped and how we didn't care.
I remember the laughter we had with the jokes we shared.
Now I wish I stayed in class, and didn't laugh too hard,
For to remember these would bring sadness to my heart.
Where did the Love Go?

I remember the sunsets we watched together.
I remember walking home with you with only the streetlights to guide us.
Now the sunsets I see are the loneliest in my life,
And the streetlights remind me of nothing but your goodbye.
Where did Our Love Go?

Writing About Writing

I am tired of the shit I always write.
Why can't I do anything right?
Friends write better than me everyday,
I am a loser with each passing day.

For the umpteenth time, I pick up a pen,
I put it to paper, and let it dance away,
In it's wake it leaves a trace,
A trace of your ideas, and everything else.

Your hand waltzes with your pen on the paper,
Making visible the ideas deep within you.
The song ends and you look down,
A piece of your soul, preserved on paper,
Which everyone will see forever.

Write the thoughts hiding away,
Give them a chance to fly away.
They may soar and go far,
Or crash in burn into dust.

But just remember, either way
You have shown you are not afraid.
To show your ideas which others could not.
Hey there friend, that is a start.

goals

Took me longer than I would've liked to post. Well, this is it. 2013. A year I thought that would never arrive because I was so sure that zombies were going to kill us all.

But still, we're here. I think it's a bit late to post about the new year, but what the hell. I'll post anyway.

I wanted to post goals for this year, but the thing is... I didn't prepare any goals because I thought I'd be dead by now. But I'll go ahead and post a few goals which I think are relevant.

1. Learn new things. By this, I mean I want to learn to handle things by myself. Be independent if you will. I don't wanna go the rest of my life depending on others.

2. Write more. I probably will, considering the fact that this is our On the Job Training year. But I wanna get better at writing. I don't want to just write stuff...

3. See the world. Okay, This is a little hard to do. I wanna see the world. By that I mean I want to travel, go to new places.

4. Graduate. It's just around the corner. We're getting closer with each passing day. I wanna go up there, end College and start life. I hope I make it.

5. Get Closer to God. I've drifted. I am a sheep who strayed far from the herd. Gotta find a way to restore my faith.

6. Have Fun. Last year, I wasted the first three months just being miserable. This year, I wanna be happy and make up for lost laughter.

7. Smile. This is something I always had trouble doing as a kid and in my early teens. I found that I liked smilling. It kinda does something... something I can't really understand..

8. Take Better Care of pets. I wanna give my pets a better life.

9. Eat. I just realized I was starving myself all through out 2012. Let's eat!

10. Find a hobby. I need a hobby. a distracting hobby.

Hmm... what if... I checked back on this on December 31, 2013? Just to see if I accomplished any of it. Maybe I will.

Well, let's get this year over with!
