bad naming

Autobots, DISTORT and ROLLOUT!

WTF! Pirated Transformers figures are labelled as "DISTORTED ROBOTS"! (6 words combo >_<). I went to a mall, local cheap stuffs one, called Crystal, and saw this toys displayed on the rack. Gosh! That's the worse name I've ever think of... What's next? Distorbots?

My beloved transformers are having cognitive distortion! God saves us!

Round

When summer passes, autumn comes.

When autumn goes, winter visits.

When winter waves, summer returns once again.


All seasons follow the exact same routine, until...

If the seasons never return, if the night never lights, if the flowers never glow,
If you're trapped in a chaos, for the people jeopardizing the streets because they couldn't see the sun,
If you lost track of your loved ones, and you never see him/her/it(if) again,
If you remained alone, and your screech never be heard by a soul,
If that day ever comes, what would you do?


The doomsday may be a fantasy to you, but I am not worried about that. Life doesn't need an armageddon to remind us that life is short, cherish it. We are capable of making people's life miserable, and that's more than enough to makes the world suffer. Come on, look around us, and ask ourselves, what things around us that we can make it (them) better but we ain't doing so, and what things around us that we are taking it (them) for granted? Be it family, friends, treasures, or feelings. Anything and everything happening on us are a blessing, direct or counter-wise that shapes who we are and where we will be heading towards. For me, life isn't just about Heaven or Hell, what matters now is here, right where we are standing now.

Perception is you and your world, everything within. How you perceive things will mean how you will react upon them. The world may look round, but if your perception is skewed, you shall never see things right. However, if you take things positively, and practice what you believe, that, my friend, will make your world you perceived a much much better place for you and everyone around you. Trust me, the world is gonna be better, if we are willing to paint it so.

May peace be felt in your heart, touch your pride, and set you free.



This world is more than just fuckers. Ha Ha Ha. (wtf...)

Sorry sorry

Something interesting I found now just.

"I will only forgive you once you quit doing that."

If I operate on the sentence, it would mean:
1. I will forgive you.
2. You are doing something I don't like.
3. The forgiveness comes when you stop doing that thing.

Ladies and boys, what does the sentence mean to you?

We love to use the word sorry, sorry, sorry (by super junior... Crapz.) and when's the last time it brings something beneficial to the victim? I still remember my friend said, if sorry got use then no need mata oledi. So, an apologize would mean nothing without a compensation. I realized that once we do something wrong, it's impossible to roll back the tape (like what Nerubian Weaver does) or assume nothing has ever happened. That's a lame excuse. To properly showing a sincere regret, we have to do something in favour for the other party.

I always heard that so and so publicly apologize for what he/she/it has done to the other party, and hoping for forgiveness. Well, like the hong kong dramas (or reality does take place) the husband fucked a woman he shouldn't be fucking and then the wife left and then he knelt down and say sorry x infinity and then the passerby/ke-po/f&f would say forgive the guy and then the wife because pressured by society then said ok then the husband....again. Well, it's funny, to actually sees that a word sorry is misused over and over, and yet people keep buying the bullshit it promises.

Coming back to the sentence ("I will only forgive you once you quit doing that."), what do you feel/think/care about the person who said this? Well, obviously, he/she/it was not hurt enough by what the doer done, since he/she/it offers a pardon(without compensation). That, my friend, is a typical thinking blind spot. If you're offering forgiveness, it shows that you need the opposite party more than he/she/it needs you, and hence he/she/it has the choice for not correcting the mistake.

Be amazed by how man and woman interacts. It's charmingly foolish.

Chance

I used to think that doing things and getting successful just by chance is a mere "effortless" thing and it's intangible, elusive and I tried my best to stay out of the way. I pictured that luck-based activities such as gambling, stock-market investing, etc. is not solid enough as a convincing effort to gain what they want, in this case money.

Well, being me, I used to believe that the traditional saying "Work hard" is the best motto, and hence throughout these years I tried my best to achieve what I think I want, for example, swimming, I tried to swim for many years back but was discouraged by the incident when I was young, my parents sent me to a local swimming class. The very first day the coach just pushed me into the water and I was so scared that I didn't appear in the next swimming lesson. From then onwards I just tell myself that Phillip, you can't swim. I stayed on that condition for many many years until last year finally I embraced myself to learn swimming again, and this time it's fruitful for me personally that I can at least swim a few feet over the water (without walking on the ground, which I used to do).

Thinking back of that moment, I used to wonder of the other kids who can swim. I asked myself, hey, why can they swim? Why can't I? I was confused and what came to my mind was, possibly they're the lucky ones who get a good coach, and possibly they're born with the skills to swim. Yeah, I convinced myself that some people are born smart, and some people are born to prosper throughout their life. Well, that's luck, I guess, that's playing the key to determine what and who we are. In fact, the black swan is talking about luck which determines the success of various deeds.

Is it God that makes miracle?

Come back to my question in its purest essence, is luck everything? Then I realized lately, that is why I blogged this, that luck could be the best thing you'd ever ask in life, but luck can be achieved. Ever heard of "Nothing is Impossible" by Nike? If on this world which God created and willed, that nothing is really impossible, therefore I can say, everything happens with a certain possibility. Every incident happens in a way that we would expected, and in different level of expectation. Let's say, do you expect the sun to rise tomorrow? Yeah, with a near 100% of confidence level. But let's say, how much do you expect your lottery ticket to win the first prize tomorrow? Perhaps 1% would be the most luxurious wish. Yet we still hope it will, and it really may happen too. Hence, if in that case, and I'm trying to say, nothing is impossible, then what is luck?

Work your brain, in simple maths, we learn that if the prediction that when you flip an even coin the probability that you get a head is 50% or 0.5 out of 1, hence the probability that you get two consecutive head is equals to 0.5x0.5=0.25 or 25%. Well, bear this in mind that this is just only a maths equation, but it helps us to understand a theory (i'm branded a philosopher, by the way) that if this thing works, and nothing is impossible, that the more you try something, the lesser the chance you will get consecutive results. Which means the more you try, the lesser the chance that an event will occur continuously.

That's what I've been trying to say, the key to luck is "The more you try, the larger the chance for you to get lucky and achieve something". How often do you try to throw a basketball into the hoop but then you just can't throw it in no matter how many times you've tried? Well, if you're sensible, you might change your posture, technique, or go out and train your physical strength, or find a coach or google it out and encountered this post, well, whatever you do, you try, and that will get you closer to your purpose.

We do things with purpose, and with purpose we try to achieve. If life is all about chance, the closest thing to success is trial I guess.
