I like sunset more than sunrise. It's because I always have the chance to see it
except on rainy seasons. I love watching sunset since it gives me the mood for
contemplating of my actions for the day. For me, it's just so beautiful...
it's simple... we have different tastes among others... one can't always have to
go with the majority... it's just a sense that I happened to like listening to
jpop... and i happen to understand the language... actually, you can easily
remember terms through songs...
anyway, they can ask such questions and i tell them simply that i enjoy
listening to it... and i guess there's nothing wrong to it... ^____^
Isn't it nice to feel you're appreciated by a loved one? Of course, you're given
a compliment that makes you more inspired about life, being a more positive
person. The best one I've got is that what they all (my family and friends) tell
about me: being a wonderful and happy person.
What's yours? Do you consider it of much depth to you? Does it help you know
more of yourself?
Quote by magemasterWell, after all, i
don't really think that it just makes people stupid or what, because it helps
them in developing themselves. Beside, it's really a great help for them to know
that it's never too late to give up on their dreams in life. But on the other
hand.. they're also being used up by the ones who were responsible for these
searches. They're at the same time getting a large benefit for themselves, which
the fans of their programs didn't know. They didn't know that their money were
just somewhat... wasted....
Um, but hey, this is just my opinion for that. ^_^
I don't like talent searches too. And you do have a point there being used up by
those big heads responsible for those stuff. And sometimes, some participants
who got into it don't really have the talent. Yeah I know, most people go for
the face value but it's just sickening voting for their bet who doesn't even
know how to sing well or act or do anything that you can call talent. I know
that this can be means to fulfilling dreams but they're just making it
substandard. And it's all because it's what the audience wants. And after the
contest then what? I guess those promising prizes are so blinding but at least I
am not.
Well I think both those searchers and some audiences don't have the right sense
to do things. I guess they shouldn't call it talent search but "popularity
search"
Quote by Anjhurinsomeone said on this
thread that we don't have the right to choose who is to live or not. then if
that applies in negative (abortion is suppressing one's life..... but i think
it's still okay, since the free will exists), then it should also exist in
positive in those ppl's mind.
by that i mean that the ppl who get their child via science, because of
infertility, aren't right are they, since they make the choice that "this
one spermatozoid and this one ovocyte" are to become one and live. that is
deciding and not letting hazard (or god if you want) do as he please.
on the other end of the rope, i'm totally against what we call in france
"acharnement therapeutique", which is the docs trying by all means to
keep someone alive, even if it's a comatose state, and saying that with the help
of science or with luck that person can still regain consciousness. or denying
someone will to die if he can't enjoy life (like we had a case in france, a guy
around 29 or smthing, who could only express himself by moving his thumb. the
only thing he could do, otherwise he was totally dependant of the needles that
brought nutritive elements to him..... the doc and his mother decide for
euthanasia. and they're sued !! wtf, he did express his will to
die)
???
Truly, those people who sued the doctor and the mother were so unreasonable
because they just don't know what it feels like to be in the shoes of the
patient's relatives. They even weren't there when it happened...
i don't know why there are some people who are against euthanasia although it's
pretty obvious there won't be any chance for the dying patient. Yeah, my
religion teacher says that this is totally wrong but for me, I think it's not.
This is only option left if it's the patient's last request. We sure don't want
our beloved to suffer for all his/her life, right?
Just imagine if you are the unfortunate baby to be aborted. -Horrible.
Suicide. - Unjustifiable....
(But I don't hate those people who thinks suicide is honorable in their culture
so I respect that.)
Murder/Massacre (person/people). - Inhuman.
We can consider ourselves lucky since we got to experience life, let alone pain
and sufferings. But that's the point, life is everything about facing our fears
and not let death be a solution to it.
Taking somebody's life is stealing God's authority over life. Any form of
killing is robbing of someone's right to live and that's why we are commanded of
the sixth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill".
In case of rape issues, the victim has all the unwanted effects after the
incident. But the point is not to make the problem bigger. I know it's totally
unfair but life doesn't end there. Although we quite understood that the baby
will get all the hatred from his mother, but still we have to reconsider that
the baby got nothing to do with it. The mother is hurting her child just because
that child is the product of the painful experience she went through and that
she doesn't desire having that child. And what's worst is resorting to abortion.
This is absoultely wrong. Did the child ever wanted that rape incident to happen
to his/her mother in the first place? No of course not. It doesn't mean that
when you are the victim then she has the right to kill her own baby. The child
is not the object of revenge. Let God give justice to that.
And if ever I myself got involved in this issues, I wouldn't find myself posting
on this thread. Well, just take it for example.
I dunno if you'd agree with me but this is what I believe. Peace!
However, I'm still mushy with the issue about euthanasia. Anyone want to speak
out about this?
Same here. Most especially when I was in grade school, there were many of them
who ruined my life. Something like they befriend you but actually they'll do
evil things to you.
I can always be a little naive, and I do trust people often. But what do I get
in return? Betrayal... they left me alone, took things for granted and they
judged me. I also had a screwed past and I ended up being a cold person. I
always feared interactions and I became anti-social.
However, I realized that the world isn't that too cruel and there's still good
flock left. Recently, I had new friends and I'm happy now that I met them
because they're unlike those screwed minds before. Because of them, I am no
longer afraid and alone and now I'm able to put up a smile on my face always and
fortunately, build up trust once more.
But you have to be careful. It's your decision if you want to open up and trust
him. Time is the right thing for this. You don't have to rush if you don't want
to be burned again.
Anyways, I hope that that guy is sincere with his intentions. We might have been
hurt before but we can learn from it. You migh consider giving him a chance.
Good luck!
You are most like Starfire. A bit clumsy and innocent, you're lucky you have
friends or who knows what would happen to you. You are excessively happy which
sometimes gets on others' nerves. You tend to be too polite for your own good
sometimes which may be depicted as snobbish. You are very nice and compassionate
but you aren't afraid to let others know when you're mad, it is more of a bodily
sign mostly in the eyes. You love light and try to cheer up that one gloomy
person but it is like night and day. You can't help it though. You tend to be a
charity case and try to help others feel less gloomy and inadvertently make it
worse. You are drawn to a certain person and you are a bit...well a tad and a
bit eccentric and odd. But don't worry it's your quirks that people like about
you!
I can't say I totally agree but with being odd and eccentric, I guess so.
Quote by ShiNN84Huh. I care for both. And
I don't look exactly as those aspects. What
matters is if you like it or not, that's all... there can be different
reasons that lead you to like a wallpaper, personally I value both
aspects but in the end I just look at the final result. The wallpaper
has some minor flaws? I am not trashing it if I still like it and if it
has a nice concept. The wallpaper is flawless but is "unoriginal"? I
am
not trashining it if I still like how everything has been executed.
This is my own point of view, of course.
Same here. Concept and technicality must work in harmony. And for the minor flaw
thing, it's normal since this is what art is all about. We can say it's almost perfect, but not absolutely perfect.
Concept is a creation from the mind but the case for originality is very much
needed. Of course, anything new and unique for sure leaves a striking first
impression.
In terms of judging or deeper constructive critcism, quality and details are
very significant factors on an astounding artwork. "Judging" is not an
easy task, by the way. It's not as instant as just taking a glance or two, good
judges narrow it all down. Organization, coordination, effects used, etc. This
is where technicality comes in.
Quote by karaI think both are very
important. The "techincal perfect" walls usually
impress me a bit more though, since it shows the skills and dedication
of the waller. Concept is also important as it shows the creativity of
the waller but good concept that's not backed with good skills will
ruin the wall. In my opinion anyway.
I also agree with kara said about having "good concept but not backed up
with good skills ruins a wall." -A good concept is worthless if it ends up
screwed just because he/she is not equipped with the right skills. It would just
frustrate the artist because he won't be able to share that great idea with others.
But I don't mean being harsh to beginners for I'm not a waller myself. As usual,
there's always an exemption to this category but I guess as time progresses,
their abilities might enhance too if they really dedicate themselves to this
field and with the help of trusted critics.
These two can't be separated. One needs the other to create true art. Well,
this is just what I think.
Quote by kenzukeYeah, to prevent that
wallers depression I just had, I had to be more
active so people would notice me more.. >_< ... I guess that's
what I lacked..
Good luck!!! I
think it's okay for you to undergo depression stuff but don't let those shallow
people bury you down. lol, They're too stupid to notice the "real
thing."
Quote by jakulitoYes, we all love our
country. But the government, who loves that?
Can't agree more. Who would love a government if majority of
the officials(yeah, most of them are alike)
were just using the people for their own greed? Moreover, some of them have
pea-sized brains for doing nothing but dirty politics and corruption.
Quote by JheiracksA few things have
been brought to my attention. First and foremost,
people have been way too damn touchy if someone new brings up an old
topic on a new thread. They are rude and frankly give the rest of us
MT-er’s a bad rap.
I’m asking you guys to think before you
type. The
people on the other side are people just like you and they have feeling
as does everyone else.
Well, i really don't blame them. Or
sometimes, was it the search box? I used the search box for the topic of
"cramming" and said no "results to display". So I brought up
the topic then and then it was closed saying it's similar to the previous
one.
Was it or was it me for typing the wrong keyword? I guess I'll just take time
surfing the forums so that I won't go through this again.
For a girl like me, a soft pair of eyes would always be the first objects of
attraction, that makes my heart stop. Then if that person gives his sweet smile
and it's intended for me, then that's heaven.
Yeah it did scare me! lol. But
were you saying that this woman has kids whom you are friends with? That is
really, err... surprising.
i understood that you had to go through this. Well, it's true what they say,
"Being a teen isn't that easy." It's okay to have this "teen
crush" you were saying, and actually, I also liked men older than me.
Nothing's wrong if you have the hots for her but I guess you just leave it to
your fantasies, it's a good solution for fulfilling your "teen crush."
It will die down some time. You may eventually find someone of which society
will accept. Good luck!
Actually, it's a shame for me for I am a Catholic. I missed so many Sunday
masses already.
i violated the third commandment... *feels guilty* But I
still manage time to pray to Him everyday...
Probably, I just need more spiritual guidance.
This reminds me of my high school years. Projects here, homeworks there, bundle
of tests every other day.
During my senior year in high school, there was a time that I never had any
sleep for almost 24 hours! I had to cram coz I had 3 different projects in line
and the bloody deadline is on the next day! Believe me, that day before the due
date, I had to go to school since I had to take a long test in English, then
when I got home, I had to do the stuff. I stayed up until the next morning and I
did finish all of them. *phew* But what's worst was that it was already around
six in the morning and I can't afford to catch even a nap coz if I did, I still
have to prepare myself for school and for sure I'd be lat.e
Following that incident, for the whole morning, I never felt sleepy at all.
Instead I felt like floating in the air. o.0 Strange as it was, I dunno really
why I felt like that. ^^,
I've gotten used to it. I dunno if you'd agree with me but I just love cramming.
For me, it's some sort of adventure. ^_^
I read the description below it and it was made to sound like the ripper was the
one who had exerted much effort on it. And it said the scan was from mt...
Seriously, what a shameface.
I dunno if this topic had existed already and I think this is anime and manga
related.
I quite understood that most of the people here appreciate Japanese culture. My
aunt told me that Japanese lifestyle isn't that too pleasing, talking about
issues and youth problems in their country. But let's set that aside and discuss
more of the positive side.
For me, the first thing why I had such liking is that because I had Japanese
relatives and I was introduced to their culture ever since I was small kid. Then
came anime, from old school to newbies. I find some anime cool because of kawaii
characters and nice storylines. Same goes with manga. Next on line would be
J-pop and (ramen, yep very much oishii!).
Please don't get me wrong. I am always proud to be me (yep, I am a Filipino and
I love my culture). I think liking other cultural stuff other than your own is
not that bad, right?

How about you guys?
Can't agree more. Talking about impact. I go with sad endings because after watching it, I had long term hangovers.
(seemed like drugs)
