     We are in the world now where the definition of the word “fun” revolves around the sphere of electronic gadgets. Facing the computer and television, non-stop tapping the screen of tablet and cellular phone and killing time with video games, all of these seem to be a daily routine for most kids nowadays. While giving “fun” is the primary feather of all these stuffs, it can cause self-seclusion to them by placing themselves passively in the corner and forget the fun in creating interaction with other people. Sports and other recreational activities seem to be buried now.

Recently, a new craze set in motion that broke the attention of both teenage girls and boys in United States and now it is invading Asian countries including Philippines. They are head over heels not with a hot boy band nor to excessively high-priced gadgets and toys but with loom bands.

My First Soundless Film Experience

     “A story of industry, of individual enterprise – humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness.”  The entire film seems to question if in fact we are achieving that happiness, and the effect industrialization has on our humanity.

     Despite the factor that it lacks sounds, it didn’t make the story less of a masterpiece. The message may not be that conspicuous at first because the dominant voice of the story is comedy. But if you’ll really try to deepen the range of your understanding and interpretation, the story revolves around the negativity brought by the machines of the Industrial Revolution.

     The emergence of machines caused the proliferation of “specialization”, wherein there’s a division of labor and less manpower in the factories. It requires workers to do no stop in their work, even at eating time.

A Guys Who Reads

     And if you’re a certified booklover, bookworm, bookwhore, bookcrastinator or suchlike you call it, you would secure that the person you’re going to share your entire life with share the same passion as yours.

I personally believe that a guy who reads is the greatest turn on ever.

Not only you are entwined in the same language but also he can bring you to places in different spectrum by just talking in the couch or sitting in a bench. You can discuss with him everything under the Aurora Borealis and Luna.

Knowing Yourself is Important

     Ever wonder why some people lose track in their lives? They ended up frustrated. And when they can’t handle too much disappointment because they feel that there’s no way out, they commit suicide.
