likhang isip ng 2007

Mga bilog na prutas,

ginawang palamuti,

hindi kinain,

nabulok.

Kawawang Juan Dela Cruz,

nagpakauto.

Nang dahil sa Feng Shui,

pamilyang Pilipino'y

nagutom.

Maligayang 2007!

A resolution:

Maintain, enjoy, and treasure all the good things that I matter most; learn from and forget all the negative outcomes in the past.

incognito

Have you ever felt being nameless in a party?

Thursday, 14th day of the final month of the year 2006, Math and Computer Science Society Christmas party. I came late. As I sat on an awkward position while staring everyone in room 231a my mind occur something that I can’t make clear. I tried to walk around in CAS building but anxiety brings in my state. I’m thinking why does it happening to me while everybody is in joy and seizing every moment.

Switching back before the party, Mom and I went in a bank to pay taxes. 7/11 is just a walking distance from the bank. My heart beats fast as I share a little joy to the innocent poor children pitying for hunger. Bazaar is the place where I hanged-out for an hour to wait for the party.

Party makes fun and ecstasy to everybody. It is impossible for an individual like me to annoy it. That day, something or someone is missing. I realized that decisions are not yet concluding, decisions can amend for an instant and never change it back again.

Welcome To The Black Parade

After learning of his illness, reflecting on his life, and dealing with all the issues of mortality, the Patient's own mortality is quickly coming to an end. Here the Patient is drifting between life and death, and so death is coming for him in the form of his strongest memory. The Patient's fondest memory is of his father taking him to town as a boy to see a parade ("when I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band"). The Patient's father asks him as a boy "Son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?", perhaps preparing the Patient for his future illness, and asking him if he will have what it takes to mentally overcome it and be an example for others who follow in his footsteps to be strong. The Patient's father also tells him "someday I'll leave you a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to join the Black Parade." This hints that the Patient's father most likely died before the Patient, and will help him join the Black Parade (in other words be there when he dies to help him in the afterlife). The song also shows that the Patient most likely had a very good relationship with his father, since his fondest memory in life occured when he was with his father. This is the opposite of the relationship he has with his mother, which is further detailed in the song Mama.

The Patient passes into a realm of life and death, and sees the Black Parade. The Black Parade seems to take place in the city that he saw the marching band in his youth, only now the city is barren, and more macabre ("the bodies in the street"). He sees the performers of the Black Parade, only they too are more macabre than those of the parade he saw in his youth, and seem to represent emotions and other parts of his life. The Black Parade tell him of "the disappointed faces of your peers", which have no effect on the Patient, as he states he "could not care at all", showing he will no longer let anyone dictate his actions, and hasn't quite repented yet (as he does in Famous Last Words). He still doubts himself ("I'm just a man, I'm not a hero" in reference to his father's question at the beginning of the song). He is still firm in his doubt of the world ("you can try, you'll never break me"). Finally The Black Parade insures him that his "memory will carry on", and though he may be dead and defeated his "weary widow marches on." Thus trying to encourage him that he isn't as evil as he thinks, and that if he joins them what he leaves behind in life will be fine.

The song visually represents the entire story (somewhat) in its music video (one flaw however is that "the patient" has hair, when a cancer patient suffering from chemo would be bald + the character in the album art is bald and paler).

FRIENDSHIP by Lily Bosch

"I've looked a lot at what makes people successful. And I’ve never yet seen a real, big-time successful person who was a lone wolf. Every successful person I’ve know has had a nucleus of people around them who shared their passions, supported their best interests, upheld all the things that were important to them, and wanted them to succeed. Yet people allow themselves to get isolated – either because they’re too busy, or too tired, or depressed. We don’t think much anymore about what a friend is. What do friends do? Well, friends stay in contact, they talk about things that matter to both of them, they’re honest, they’re supportive, they’re willing to give something. It can mean so much when someone who doesn’t have to call does and says, ‘How are you? How’s it going?’ And friends don’t only say, ‘I’m having a hard time at home.’ Sometimes they want somebody to celebrate with, somebody to be excited with. Somebody who will be happy rather than jealous if they get a promotion or a new car or have a baby.”

Dr. Phil’s RX: “Sit down and define what a friend is in your mind. And then, whether it’s a few minutes a day or a few hours a week, make contact. It’s nice to know that there are people out there who are interested in you life. And that’s a great way to initiate friendship: Be interested in someone else’s life. There’s a solid rule in friendship: If you want to have a good friend, you need to be a good friend. Give away what you wish you were getting, and it will come back to you in spades.”
