The Kickflip

When you visualize, you materialize.

That is what I have learned from the book entitled, “The Secret”. In a much broader sense, it says that what you want, if you put just the right amount or even more thought into it, it becomes reality. This principle is called the LAW OF ATTRACTION. And I have seen it work because I myself have experienced it.

In my previous blog, Summer Plans, I made mention that I would want to make money… quick. The good thing is that I have found an opportunity and it is very promising. I have this feeling in my gut that I will get something out of it. Oops! Let me rephrase that… I will get a lot out of it!

To back that thought up I made this little check… with a not so little amount!

Summer Plans

To make my summer a little less boring I decided that I should make a plan for myself. There is so much to do in so little time so this would help me keep track of what I need to do. It would be like a checklist for me.

NUMBER 1: Finish FILBAS!

This subject, in my opinion is a curse! This is the only subject I need to finish College. The last one! Lets FINISH THIS!!!

NUMBER 2: Find a way to make quick cash.

I have a cousin who has one of these mobile thingies that he considers a pass time that also helps him make a fair amount of cash. That would be a good place to start off. *CACHING*

NUMBER 3: Fix my room.

Thesis making was the most exhausting part of my college life and it made me unintentionally ignore a few things in my life. One of those things would be my room. Right after the thesis my room looked like Japan (Earthquake & Tsunami incident). But I’m slowly “rebuilding” it by trying to get rid of all the excess paper and dust (sand, if you would consider a large amount). I’m thinking about selling the paper to Tipco (that would mean fulfilling a part of NUMBER 2). I just don’t know if they would accept tracing paper.

NUMBER 4: Make a song. Go to Manila with Jurelle. Record the song.

Ever since I could remember, I have always wanted to play the guitar, sing and make my own song. And since high school I have been doing all that. The only thing now is I have been wanting to record a song in a studio with real recording equipment. Thank God for my best friend, Jurelle. He has friends in Manila that could help us out with that.

NUMBER 5: Buy a Gundam

I want to collect Gundams from the Gundam 00 series. But its not really coming into play because I have been stuck with 3 Gundams since January. I’m hoping this summer I could buy at least 1 to add up to my toy collection.

NUMBER 6: Lose weight.

I have been gaining a lot of weight these past few months and I am not liking the feed back. I am really getting sick of people teasing me about my weight and its time to do something about it. I jog and go on a diet these past few days to get me started. Plus, I don’t feel good about being big anymore. It makes me feel uncomfortable and “unwanted” at times. Well, I got my buddy, Kio, to help me out. TO THE GYM!!!

And last but certainly not the least…

NUMBER 7: Take Em on a date at Italianni’s.

A few months ago, Italianni’s opened up a branch in Marquee Mall. Em and I have been waiting for it to open since last year. But when it opened we didn’t have the money to go on a dinner date… and up until now. I plan on spending some of the money I would get from plan NUMBER 2 on our (proposed) dinner date. Its been a while since we went on a real date and I miss it.

Freedom. Peace. Love. Music.

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with God. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand.

                      Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son? 

                      Student: Yes, sir. 

                      Professor: So, you believe in God? 

                      Student: Absolutely, sir. 

                      Professor: Is God good? 

                      Student: Sure. 

                      Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm? 

                       (Student was silent) 

                      Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good? 

                      Student: Yes. 

                      Professor: Is Satan good? 

                      Student: No. 

                      Professor: Where does Satan come from? 

                      Student: From.. God. 

                      Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? 

                      Student: Yes. 

                      Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct? 

                      Student: Yes. 

                      Professor: So who created evil? 

                       (Student didn’t answer) 

                      Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they? 

                      Student: Yes, sir. 

                      Professor: So, who created them? 

                       (Student had no answer) 

                      Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God? 

                      Student: No, sir. 

                      Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God. 

                      Student: No, sir. 

                      Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter? 

                      Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t. 

                      Professor: Yet you still believe in Him? 

                      Student: Yes. 

                      Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son? 

                      Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith. 

                      Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has. 

                      Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat? 

                      Professor: Yes. 

                      Student: And is there such a thing as Cold? 

                      Professor: Yes. 

                      Student: No, sir, there isn’t. 

                       (The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events) 

                      Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. 

                       (There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre) 

                      Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? 

                      Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness? 

                      Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you? 

                      Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man? 

                      Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed. 

                      Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how? 

                      Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey? 

                      Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do. 

                      Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir? 

                       (The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going) 

                      Student: Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher? 

                       (The class was in uproar) 

                      Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain? 

                       (The class broke out into laughter) 

                      Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures? 

                       (The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable) 

                      Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son. 

                      Student: That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving! 

                       ----------------------------------------------------

Drive

Gavin Rossdale/Wanderlust

I can’t really post anything right now because I’m trying to finish my thesis until this weekend.

So here’s something from my “Thesis Busters” playlist. One of my new favorite songs…

Gavin Rossdale’s Drive from his 2008 album Wanderlust

White Dress

Ben Rector/Into the Morning

White Dress by Ben Rector

The Game! The Cerebral Assassin! The King of Kings! Triple H is freakin’ BACK!!!

And he’s gonna take down the Undertaker on Wrestlemania XXVII!

Its time the winning streak came to an end…

The Hell Week

Man, this week was stressful! All of us (who are doing our theses) were very stressed, tired, exhausted, weakened and whatever feeling that has our bodies taken to the limit with very minimal sleep.

This is because this week was our Endorsement Week. This is the period when we have to show our thesis advisers (ideally) 80% progress of our thesis boards. And if the adviser approves the boards he/she will endorse you and allow you to go on and defend your thesis proposal.

Yesterday (Friday, Feb. 18), it was late in the afternoon, me and my classmates looked pretty normal. The usual look we wore every week. But as the evening came closer, some of us ended up looking like this:

Especially the ones who only had 10 hrs of sleep the whole week.

Nevertheless, all the hard work paid off. All of us got endorsed and everybody was happy.

I want Vader’s! :D

Energy drinks are not good energy sometimes...

"Towards The Realization Of Gundam"

The controversial issue on Japan’s Ministry of Defense pursuing the use of Gundam Mobile Suits.

Lucky Mangabay, your fantasy of having may come true.

He liked it!

Guys! Greyson Chance liked the last two posts I made! I’m having a starstruck moment right now. LoL

A shout out to the boy wonder:

I’m very honored! You just sounded so good that I had to promote you. You amaze me. I wish you all the best and a very successful (I know it already is) tour with Ms. Cosgrove. May you continue to blow people’s minds and ears with your great talent, Greyson. Rock ‘em hard!

The World Taken By Storm

Here’s a quick blog before my thesis project!

There is a boy named Greyson Chance and I saw him on one of my friends’ post on Facebook about 10 minutes ago. Like every other kid on Youtube, he was singing. He sang his original song Waiting Outside The Lines. And not only was he singing but he had this amazing voice the took me by surprise. He was unlike any child singer on Youtube. He didn’t sing “Baby, baby, baby, ooooooooh!”

Damn! This kid is really something. He could go places… which he is because he’s going on tour with Miranda Cosgrove right now. It only sucks that he’s being labeled as “The New Justine Beiber.” If you listen to Greysons song (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN) you would notice that Beiber’s got nothing on this kid. Just a direct comparison, Beiber music is teenager-trying-to-get-laid music. Chance music is inspirational-and-straight-from-the-heart music.

I’m not sure if his song is being played on local radio stations here in the RP but I hope they are. Greyson Chance is an artist that is not going to waste.
