Beauty and Madness

Posted by Ime Surrealism

I wonder why beauty is such a want these days? Everywhere you look you'd see commercials and advertisements about products, food, and even technology that can enhance your beauty or make you beautiful. I don't have anything against beautiful people, it's just, the more they advertise and commend beauty, the more pressure they put on those people who doesn't really have what it takes. 


If you look at young people right now, everybody is trying to fit in. Buying expensive clothes, putting make up on, trying to go to the gym and even more. Of course we would want to look presentable, that's already given. Even I want to look presentable in other people's eyes, but isn't making sure that your clean is enough? Why make a big fuss about what outfit to wear, what shoes to match your clothes, what make up to put on, do I wear my hair down or wear it with a ponytail, what cologne to use. Isn't that stressful? Sometimes, when I'm at the mall, I can't help but think how sorry I am for those who tries so hard.

You can't really blame these kids, these people. Sometimes, it's the media's fault for exposing too much beauty to the world. Like, in order for you to win a contest, if you didn't have the talent, then definitely you should have the face that can launch a thousand ships, or something like that. A face that can sell millions. Or if you want to be an actor/actress, you have to have that face that can make people empathize as they watch your shows or movies, if not, you'll end up being a comedienne that tries to have his head held high. Nonetheless, you still get laughed at. 

I'm not sure if its just me.. or maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just pressured, exhausted. Trying to fit in. Even if I know I'm far from that...

Paradox of Life

Posted by Ime Surrealism

At church today, our pastor read to us the Paradox of Life. The irony of what's going on with the world. It really is a shame sometime. The world has offered too many things we tend to forget those simple things. Some of my favorite lines were:


"We have bigger houses and smaller families: It even applies to me. I've always dreamt of having a big house and big family before, but as time change and economy is not being all that great. I guess having a big house and small family is enough. Right now, when one family is being established, if its not a family of 4, then for sure, it's a family of 3. Parents and a kid or Parents and 2 kids. If you cross that line, you sure will have problems in the future. 

More knowledge, but less judgment: I have learned a lot from the technoloy that we have. Learned how things work, how these things come to life and almost everything that you can possibly think of there will definitely, if not a scientific explanation, then for sure theory and reason. And yet there's too little judgement in this world. 

More medicine, but less wellness: We keep looking for medicines to cure illness, but with one medicine discovered, more diseases are being revealed twice the number of medicines developed. Where is wellness now? People forget about their health. Even I forget about my health. 

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values: People are now rich and famous, but most of them are boastful and cares less. Overpowered elites and under estimating the masses. Need I say more?

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often: Talking with non sense with pride, making stories and even lie too much. There's too much hate in this world, there's hate between nation, war between friends, hate between companies, between race, between gender, between color. And love is but a little spark trying to survive the winds blown by hate.

We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less: And I think this one is self explanatory. Don't you think?

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods, and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete."

Yes, indeed these are the time. The paradox of our life.

Lie Awake

Posted by Ime Surrealism

Last night was a blur, I know my body was so tired but as much as I want to sleep. I couldn't. My head was hurting so much, I couldn't endure it. But my body just won't shut down. Lying awake, I remember some things from the past. The regrets and the humiliation. I wondered.


I can hear people speaking at the back of my head. Whispering, chanting and singing. My mind was all messed up. Thinking about what had happened before made me realize that I missed out on a lot of things. There were decision made that I didn't thought of. Loosing people even if I didn't really want to. Telling people secrets that I wasn't suppose to share. Had a lot of wrong turns, wrong moves and wrong decisions. 

I lie awake or was I lying awake? Or was lying? 

Sigh. I couldn't even figure out what's up with me.  *sighs heavily*

My Choi

Posted by Ime Surrealism

Ok, So I got nothing to do awhile ago. And my dog Choi, being the cutest thing ever and someone who never fails to cheer me up, decided to go inside this blue pale. Obviously he can't fit and I have no idea how he managed to get his self in there. @_@ But when I found him in there, I started to laugh my ass off and had to take a picture of him. Of course for remembrance. Look how kawaii he is. H4ckz0rs!! :p

Stop

Posted by Ime Surrealism

I have come to realize that Internet has taken much of my time these days. I figured that if I'm going to make myself a better person. I need to start now. Take all the addiction away and start anew.

Today, I enrolled myself for a gym program. Make myself healthy for a change. I've been sick lately, and I don't like it. Also, I've started to study about Photoshop. It really amazes me that there are millions of people who are very talented,creative and exceptional.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to go to my dentist to have my teeth cleaned. I might have braces put on.

But I'll keep updating my blog. :)

Ciao~
