Her.

For the girl I fell
In love through time
I wish you well
And please be fine

Your love was something
I didn't deserve
Maybe I didn't give it all
Just something ahead of the curve

How I only wish
That even once
For a heartbeat
I called you mine

But fate decides
It has other plans
Our troubled minds
Are back from trance

Losing you was
Not only a rejection
I lost a sister
And a best friend

You were my world
And I'm merely a part of yours
You were a chapter in my book
I was merely a line in yours

Due to our faults
It's for the good that we're apart
Cause I'm a chaos to your thoughts
And you're a poison to my heart

Don't Breathe review

          The movie was an effective horror movie since it didn’t relied heavily on jump scares. The camera angle helped a lot putting people at the edge of their seats. The most useful example of the camera angle trick in the movie is when the audience was led to believe that Alex was killed, only to be discovered that it was money (the person who was killed before) all along who was stabbed by the grass cutter, Although Alex died later. He managed to save rocky in time and it is a clever camera trick that gave the movie a great twist and a great experience for the audience. Also the camera angles made the movie realistic as one feels that he/she is really there. 

           Regarding the lens choice standard was used at the first part of the movie where there is an introduction between the characters but the wide angle lenses was used during the intense scenes to add suspense. In regards of the lighting and exposure, underexposure is used throughout creating a great sense of anxiousness and uncomfortableness within the audience and the dark element surrounding the atmosphere was contributed by the underexposure. The amount of light was minimized as the story goes on, especially in the basement scene where it is filmed using night vision. The lighting add suspense once more since the blind man suddenly appears out of nowhere and as the title says itself, their breathing gives them away. The old man appeared out of nowhere so much that it made the viewers ask who really the blind one is and who is the real helpless and handicapped one. The angles of light also kept us wondering who is the one speaking.

            The depth of field focuses sharply on the one speaking or the one character that is in a tight situation. Giving emphasis to one and then a sudden scene where the audience will feel that their heart has stopped. Focusing on one person then on the whole aspect ratio gave a great sense of fear on the audience. An example of a scene that showed a great depth of field is when Alex first entered the house. The camera was sharply focused on him the suddenly the old man came barging in to the hallway as if there was nothing. It gave a sense of suspense since the depth of ratio went along well with the background music. There were few symbols in the movie like they didn’t wear any mask when they break through the house since they all know that the owner is blind. The house also looked as if it was an ordinary old ranch, no one would think that there is 300 grand hiding in it.

            It was a great horror/suspense/thriller so it would not be a question if it left a mark on the audience. In the physiological side, it became harder for the audience to take their eyes off the screen since the adrenaline provided by the movie is intense. The cognitive side is somehow disappointing since the plot twist where a girl is tied up in the basement is not necessary for us since the movie is going on well.  While the movie taught us to be more cautious. There are some scenes or problems that can be avoided if only they thought things through. The behavior meanwhile triggered some emotions within the audience. Some sympathized with the old man while the latter sympathized with the robbers.

            The movie was great overall it has a great cast and a great replay value.

Interstellar

Interstellar is an imaginative movie, but a heavy-handed mix of personal sacrifice and theoretical physics doesn’t leave much room for subtle storytelling (or particularly memorable action). For a film that is rooted in the love between a father and his daughter, Interstellar offers surprisingly cold (and often stiff) drama – albeit drama that is buoyed by high-minded science fiction scenarios and arresting visuals. Nolan relies heavily on lengthy scenes of surface-level exposition, where characters debate or outright explain complicated physics and philosophical ideas, to educate the audience and ruminate on humanity (both good and bad) in the face of death and destruction.

I also appreciated that the “Interstellar” script undertook some major themes about humanity—do you think it’s worth thinking about questions like these: “should I act altruistically or just act to ensure my own survival? Is it okay to lie to give others hoped in a desperate situation? It is best to stay at home and raise a family or better to sacrifice that role of parent to go out and “save the world?” Is there some greater intelligence out there in the universe, or are we all there is? Is Love itself a transcendent reality or is it just an emotional reaction inside us?” And don’t forget that one haunting question that keeps us all up at night: “how can I cross-dimensionally change a watch into a cool Morse code machine?”

Despite a 169 minute runtime, Interstellar never really develops its central heroes beyond anything but static outlines – and Cooper is no exception. Viewers will root for him, and come to understand what he cherishes and believes about humanity, but any major revelations come from what happens to him – not necessarily what he brings to the table or how he evolves through his experiences.

The movie's storytelling masterstroke comes from adherence to principles of relativity: the astronauts perceive time differently depending on where Endurance is, which means that when they go down onto a prospective habitable world, a few minutes there equal weeks or months back on the ship. Meanwhile, on Earth, everyone is aging and losing hope. Under such circumstances, even tedious housekeeping-type exchanges become momentous: one has to think twice before arguing about what to do next, because while the argument is happening, people elsewhere are going grey, or suffering depression from being alone, or withering and dying. Here, more so than in any other Nolan film (and that's saying a lot), time is everything. "I'm an old physicist," Brand tells Cooper early in the film. "I'm afraid of time." Time is something we all fear. There's a ticking clock governing every aspect of existence, from the global to the familial. Every act by every character is an act of defiance, born of a wish to not go gently.

For those who are able to pay attention long enough this movies “profound” message that “we are our own gods” may be a little put out by the end of the film.

God

God is a powerful entity which most of the human race has different interpretation. He is sometimes called Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Jehovah, Elohim and many more. But in the end of the day there is only one god. One who created everything and has the power to take it all back. 

But as a science person there are times that I doubt him because every “miracle” that he makes has a scientific explanation that makes sense. For example the water that produces electricity, if you add sodium chloride a.k.a. salt it will produce electricity enough for a light bulb. But the existence of god himself is impossible to prove making him an entity of make believe. But does any of that matter? God’s existence is based in faith and faith is belief based on the absence of data. The idea of a god gave birth to religion which if used and taught wisely can bring the world to peace. My personal thought on god? If he can bring the world to peace and eternal life then who am I to judge his powers? 

The future is fixed; how one’s life unfolds is a matter of destiny. Agree or Disagree?

              Disagree, for me destiny is far the laziest word mankind has ever created. It is a romantic word yes but besides the romantic excitement it gives, it is a lazy word. First of all, if a certain someone is sure that everything is planned out and that one is idiotic. He/ she may tend to go with the flow of life or just do everything he/she wishes. It may cause chaos since we cannot be sure that, that certain someone will stay good.  Another one is, life would be pointless if everything just unfolds your way. If you dream of being a priest but you are destined to be a lawyer. I don’t see how your happiness can be assured. But you never know what your destiny is. Whether that statement is true or not I completely disagree with it.                

         I feel that we choose our own paths. Everything that happens to us is a result of the choices we have made in life. We make decisions that can affect us for the rest of our lives. If you make poor choices then you will always get poor results. A man is only as good as his tools. If we have destiny what is the purpose of law? What is the purpose of rules? What is the purpose of free will? What is the purpose of our life? What is the purpose of God on creating us? To fulfill our destiny? So why did God created us with the ability to reason to think, to analyze, if I were God will I create a robot? Why? Why not, robots are perfect in fulfilling their destiny they just go what they were programmed. By the way, are we robots? No! We are humans we have a freedom to decide that is why we have rules law commandment because we don’t have a destiny we have a free will, choose e decide.

            

          Man is his own creator; it is with our works and our choices that create our possibilities and our future. We continually deny destiny with technology, each person treads their own path unhindered by the constraints of destiny or a God and each person deserves full credit for all their own actions. To say there is destiny is to say you are a slave.

Respect for self, Respect for others, and responsibility for you actions

With will and intellect we control our actions.  Meaning everything we do, no matter how big or small, starts within. There is a saying that before you love others you should learn to love yourself first. Taking care of yourself first is not a selfish act; you cannot serve from an empty cup. How you respect yourself is also how you should respect others. Which means if you cannot love yourself don’t expect to find the love that is missing within you in other people.

Everyone you meet is an essential part of your life. They will fill in something within you that are empty for a long period of time and is to be filled by the moment you meet them. It is important to respect them no matter how good or bad they treated you. Since not everyone will come to you as a blessing, some will come as the greatest lessons in your life that you will never forget. Nevertheless, respect them anyway, because if you don’t treat them nicely you will be held responsible for your actions that may ruin your relationship not only with that person but everyone around you.

            In the end one must have self respect to have the ability to respect others. Respecting everyone is a good habit because why not? There is no risk for respecting everyone even the rudest people around you. Everyone will be held responsible for their actions and if you treat everyone with respect including yourself you will do just fine

Great love and great achievements involves great risks

There is no sweet victory without crossing the bitter road.  We are responsible for our happiness and the path of being alone is the hardest but the most worth it path. No person recorded in history is number one since day one. Mark Zuckerberg risked the education he has on Harvard and founded facebook; Sylvester Stallone risked of having a small paycheck during the film of rocky but that film made him the star he is to day and J.K. Rowling risked her entire life and career for the first harry potter book even after the numerous rejection letter she received, now She is the first author to be a billionaire. These people are at the top of their field of expertise because they risked something so great that it may jeopardize their whole life. They are what they are today because they believe in something.

We are all afraid to lose something in our lives. It may be an object or a person. If we live in fear of losing these things we will never grow and we will never go out of our comfort zone. Great opportunities lies outside the comfort zone and outside the comfort zone are great risks. If you want to achieve something you must be prepared to lose something or in this case take the risk of losing something so precious. Everything will be worth it in the end. It may be the love of your life or the achievement of a lifetime but I promise you that it won’t be an easy path. Risks are meant to be made.

Pamahiin

Lumaki ako sa isang pamilya na puro mapamahiin. Sabi nila wala naman raw masama kung sumunod ka sa ilang paniniwala pero habang tumatanda ka mas naiisip mo gano ka naapektuhan ng mga yun at gano sila nakakatawa.

Maraming pamahiin ang pilipino lalo na sa pagkain. Kung katulad kita na lumaki ng malapit sa matatanda lalo na sa Lola, malamang naging set of rules na rin ang nga pamahiin na pag di mo nasunod ay buhay ang kapalit. Oo, ganun katindi ang mga Lola natin sa pagsunod ng pamahiin. Kung Hindi naman buhay, kinabukasan mo ang mawawala o kaya mamalasin ka.

Madalas sa isang pamilyang pilipino ang kumain ng sabay sabay pero kahit ang munting salo salo na ito ay di nakaligtas sa mga pamahiin. Kapag nagliligpit na raw ng pagkain tapos nakain ka pa rin, Hindi ka makakapag asawa. Kaya nasanay na kami na tatlong nguya sabay lunok sa pagkain sa takot naming mamatay mag isa.

Sa mga lalaki naman, Hindi dapat palipat lipat ng upuan habang nakain. Dahil dadami raw ang asawa mo. Oo, pag palipat lipat ka ng upuan habang nakain na pepredict ng Lola mo na magiging malandi ka.

Kasama sa pagkain ang mga kubyertos( kutsara at tinidor para sa di nakakaalam) pero Hindi ito nakaligtas sa mga pamahiin natin.
Pag may bumagsak raw na tinidor may darating na lalaki pag kutsara babae. Parang tukso naman minsan kasi nagkakatotoo ng madalas. Pero noong tumanda ako narealize ko na kaya nangyayari yun eh nagtitinda pala kami ng yelo. Hindi nalimitahan sa kutsara't tinidor ang pamahiin. Pag sandok ang nalaglag malaking babae raw, pag kutsilyo masamang tao o kaya kapitbahay na makikiusap makijumper o kaya manghihingi ng ulam. Pag may aalis naman daw ay ikutin ang Plato para hindi maaksidente ang aalis. Kapag may nangyaring masama sa taong yun at di mo inikot Plato mo, kasama yun sa konsensya mo. Oo, ikaw ang may gawa hindi yung mismong may katawan.

Pinakamatinding okasyon para sa pamahiin ay pag may lamay. Kayo man ang naulila o nakikape lang kayo sa kapitbahay dapat sumunod kayo sa pamahiin:

1. Bawal magsuot ng pula- di ko lubos naunawaan ito pero sinunod ko na lang. Naging kalbaryo ko ito dahil puro pula ang damit ko. Tsaka nagtataka ako bakit ang mga Chinese nakapula pag may burol. Pilipino talaga... Pauso ng color coding sa lamay.

2. Bawal maguwi ng kendi mula sa burol- naranasan ko ito dahil nasa ikalimang baitang ako noon ng ibinurol lolo ko. Tapos naguwi ako ng tatlong champi at maxx. Kinabukasan nilagnat ako. Napagalitan pa ko ng Nanay ko. Kahit di raw kendi, basta kahit anong galing sa burol masama. Patunay na may mga taong kahit sumakabilang buhay na eh madamot pa rin.

3. "Magpagpag" - yung pagpag ay pagpunta sa ibang lugar bago umuwi galing lamay para di ka sundan ng kaluluwa. Oo, parang pusang ligaw mo na iiwan sa kung saan ang sumunod sayong kaluluwa. Kaya mainam na mag jollibee pagkatapos pumuntang burol.

4. Bawal bumahing pag patay- kabaliktaran ito ng nauna. Kung doon ay susundan ka ng kaluluwa, pag bumahing ka naman ay ikaw ang susunod sa kaluluwa. Oo, ganun talaga. Pag bumahing ka sa burol ay may ekis na ang pangalan mo Kay kamatayan.

Marami pang pamahiin sa patay pero di ko na iisa isahin. Bahala ka na alamin yun sa sarili mo.

Punta naman tayo sa nunal. Ayun ang isang bagay pa na di pinalampas ng mga matatanda. Bawat nunal sa katawan ay may kahulugan.

Pag may nunal ka sa palad maaaring magnanakaw ka o kaya gastador. Oo, pwede ka makulong sa pagkakaron ng nunal sa palad.

Pag may nunal ka sa paa, layas ka naman daw. Kahit di ka lumalabas ng bahay masyado at ang araw araw mo ay bahay eskwelahan lang basta may nunal ka sa paa, gala ka.

Ang nunal naman sa likod ay ibig sabihin batugan ka. Kahit baluktot na likod mo sa kakatrabaho basta may nunal ka sa likod. Tamad ka.

Pag nunal naman sa balikat ay magdudusa ka sa buong buhay mo. Tipong kahit masaya ka dapat magdusa ka kasi may nunal ka sa balikat.

Tapos Hindi ko rin maintindihan bakit takot na takot ang matatanda mawalan ng swerte. Pag nagsuklay ka sa gabi, mamalasin ka. Pag nag walis ka sa gabi, mamalasin ka. Lalo na pag nag gupit ka ng kuko sa gabi. Mamalasin ka. Kahit yung tipong kulay kahoy na kuko po at singhaba na ng kuko ng agila eh Bawal gupitin. Ipagpaumaga mo na.

Pag semana Santa na lalo kapag biyernes santo ay Bawal ka masugatan dahil di na gagaling. Pag nagkasugat ka ng biyernes Santo ay habang buhay mong dadalhin ang sugat na maiisip mo na sana nag ingat ka na lang. Ayos sa agham ay may natural way ang cells natin para maghilom ang mga sugat pero ayon sa pamahiin hindi uubra ang logic na to kapag biyernes Santo.

Maraming pamahiin sa pilipinas na pipigilan ka gumawa ng ilang bagay. Pero minsan para sayo na lang naman yun eh. Pero hindi ko maintindihan bakit Bawal maligo ng semana Santa. Isang linggo kang Amoy mandirigma at nanlalagkit. May mga research na dapat daw 4 times a week lang tayo maligo. Pero kung nakatira ka sa pilipinas hindi pasok yung logic na yun. Maawa naman kayo sa makakatabi niyo sa jeep, tricycle, sa klase, opisina at kung saan pa.

Bawal din mag ayos bago matulog. Ika nga eh, de bale ng marumi at mabaho kaysa patay

Maraming pamahiin tayong mga pilipino. Kaakibat na ito ng kultura natin. Walang masama sundin ito pero nakikiusap akong maligo kayo araw araw.

Pasensya

Higit na pasensya at pagunawa ang kinakailngan sa mundo ngayon, maraming problema sa mundo na salapi lamang ang solusyon ngunit may mga bagay na higit doon ang kailangan.

Masarap makipagasaran, totoo. 

Mga bagay na kapuna puna o kakaiba sa ating kapwa. Maaaring sa kanyang itsura, karanasan o kaya sa sitwasyon ng tao na yun sa mismong pagkakataon. Pero may nagsabi sa akin noon. "Kung hindi kaya baguhin o ayusin ng isang tao ang iyong pupunahin sa loob ng sampung Segundo, ay wag na wag mo sisitahin ito" mga simpleng salita na may malalim na kahulugan.

Hindi pantay pantay ang kagandahan ng tao. Lalo na sa pinagdaanan. Kaya't di ko lubos maunawaan kung paano naging katatawanan ang pinagdaanan ng isang tao. Halimbawa, may isang taon na ibinuhos ang laahat ng kanyang makakaya sa isang proyekto o adhikain. Dapat ba nating ipamukha ng paulit ulit ito sa taong alam mo na bagsak na bagsak ang kanyang damdamin dahil sa kaganapan?

Eh paano kung mapuno ang tao na ito at biglang sumabog? Edi siya pa ang masama?
