I'm going on a blind-date. Shizz.
Another reason why my Comm3 prof is OZM. He’s the kind who’s not into conventional activities, at least, when it can’t be helped. For our interpersonal dyadic communication activity, we’ll be having a blind-date.
Oh yeah. Relatively, it’s almost a genuine blind-date. Relative because, although I have no idea who it is I’m going to meet with, it’d just be...

To make things worse: Twilight releases graphic... →
First, literature. Second, the movie/entertainment industry. And now, even the comic book/graphic novel industry is being stained by the mess that is Twilight. I don’t want to bash- I haven’t seen the art, but I sure as hell don’t want to read the story anymore. I’m no hater, but I can’t take anymore of the hype they’re trying to set here. Maybe it’s...

David Lynch Week: Blue Velvet (1986)
brightwalldarkroom:
WHAT YOUR BLUE VELVET COCKTAIL SAYS ABOUT YOU
by Danielle Lee
In addition to being a brilliant, surrealist exploration of American conformity, disease and nuclear family fall-out, David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986) proves an excellent guide to the kind of woman, man or sociopath you are based on what you drink:
Budweiser ”The King of Beers”
You are as American as...

How’s your second sem been so far?
Great! And since it’s a new year, I’ve been quite diligent at chronicling it in my planner/diary. :)) If you don’t mind random insanity, I’d have you browse it! :P

have you watched Sherlock Holmes? :D
No, I haven’t. :D Is this a recommendation? :)) At first, I was very excited to see it, but then, thinking back, I wasn’t really a follower of Sherlock Holmes nor am I happy that he’s going to delve into the supernatural. But if you think it’s worth the watch, I might go and buy a copy. :D
Next please! :D

If you're wondering about SocSci3...
… it’s a course in UP that allows students to watch gay porn and go to motels as part of ‘immersion’. Of course, I was kidding.
It’s a really interesting class I’m taking this sem which tackles gender and sexuality- something that I can’t really explore back in my high school, considering that it’s a rather controversial topic. Not to mention the...

I sure as hell don’t know the answer to the universe, to life, to everything. But I’m positive that it isn’t 42. Anything other than that, you can go ahead and ask.

Going. My mom insists she read her other tales first, before that awesome book you gave her. :D She likes Little Red!
:)) Great. Uhm… I haven’t really perused through the whole thing, so what’s “Little Red”?

Just so you know, I already sent you reference pics. If you have any questions regarding character background, rather, if you have any questions, really, you know what to do. : )

Did you know?
Men 'shake' their legs to relieve tension- and just that. If they do that, there's no other signal being sent except 'I'm restless' or 'I'm nervous'.
Finally cleared up by my OZM teacher in Comm3. : )) Approved by guy classmates.

How to brag (BPS Research Digest) →
psychotherapy:
…Over a hundred undergrads were presented with the script of a conversation between two people - a ‘show-off’ called Avi who boasted about his A-grade in stats exams, and his friend. Crucially, there were four versions of the conversation, with each undergrad participant reading just one version. In two versions, the friend raised the topic of the exam before he either did or did...

I want to go to Intramuros! I haven’t been there in a long time. I want to visit Casa Manila, Lights and Sounds museum (hopefully it still exists), Fort Santiago, and good ol’ Manila, brimming with culture. Binondo, too! I must plan this!
If you’re serious about doing that list of excursions, I’d love to pitch in!

Alleged racist themes in Avatar: something to be... →
When I saw this link over at the Yahoo homepage, just as I logged out of my mail, it came to me as no surprise that something of this nature would eventually come to light or into ‘mainstream consciousness’.
Here again is a debate of whether Avatar is promoting the ‘white messiah ideology’ and the popular movie formula of ‘outsider hero saves the day’....
Is there anyone I can ask to do some fan art?

I don’t know how to, but I have a lot of ideas in mind…
Hrm… what kind of fan art? Maybe I can help :D

i HATE realizations. AMP.
My Comm3 teacher quoted,
“ADVICE IS WHAT WE ASK FOR WHEN WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER BUT WISH WE DIDN’T.”
Major ouch. But I won’t be talking about my OZM Comm3 teacher. Not that he’s not worth tumblr-ing about, but because the most relevant thing to me right now is the quote.
Especially now that it rings true.
To be exact, this is not the first time that this line...

The Prodigal God, Timothy Keller
fishforpeople:
It is hard for us to realize this today, but when Christianity first arose in the world it was not called a religion.
It was the non-religion.
Imagine the neighbors of early Christians asking them about their faith. ”Where’s your temple?” they’d ask. The Christians would reply that they didn’t have a temple. “But how could that be? Where do your priests labor?” The Christians...
