The Love Doctor?

I'm pretty sure there are several people out there who wonder why is it that everybody have love problems while they don't. Its not as if I don't have any problems in my life right now, but when it comes to this certain aspect, it seems as though I don't have anything to say--or complain or agonize over.
Its actually pretty funny for me, really. I mean, people ask me what they should do if ever the love-of-their-life (or maybe just like-of-their-life) suddenly gives them the cold shoulder. I don't know if they notice this but I actually tell them the same thing each and every time. I just paraphrase it so that it'll look like I have a brand new idea to share with them. But what's really funny is when I tell them all the bad things of what might really happen afterwards and then they start believing all the things I have told them! They'll punch and scowl and glare at me first of course, since I've just voiced out their "greatest fear", but after that, they agonize all the more, start crying if ever the need arises, sulk and sit in the shadows all the day and just stare into space as if they've just lost the very meaning of their life (which might actually be the case for them at the moment). Not only that, but they'll start thinking that my suggestion of what may happen is a known fact that is already set in gold.
See how 'powerful' I am?
Its very easy to plant doubts in a broken--no, lets say battered--heart. You start saying the bad things and they'll immediately disregard the good things that made them enter the relationship in the first place. You'll say that their girlfriend/boyfriend is such a pain in the rear for actually hurting them, and they'll forget the person they 'fell in love' with whom they've been willing to protect and keep no matter what right from the start.
I'm no expert in this kind of matter. It takes a lot of experience for you to be credible in this field, and it that aspect, I must say I'm a complete amateur. All I ever had anyway was crushes that just never last. But it doesn't mean that I'm asking for something greater than that. Well, maybe I do sometimes, but when I really think about it, I realize I don't really want to have one. Maybe its out of envy that's why I also want to have a crush-of-my-life, but other than that, I don't really think I'm looking for that someone out of love.
Maybe the reason why people approach me when they have problems is because I'm sympathetic. I'm not an advice machine since I often give the crappiest ones that never really work and I'm not definitely compassionate since I don't really approach that person's girlfriend/boyfriend/crush and beat the hell out of them for hurting my friend. I'm completely unreliable when it comes to those two. But when you want a nice, long and logical conversation regarding your relationship, that's where I come in. I don't know why I try to fuse logic with something that is completely different from it, but I do it all the time. Sometimes its because it just sounds right coming from a reasonable explanation and sometimes I just want to be plain cynical.
Either way, its really funny to feel like a 'Love Doctor'. But would it still be funny when I'm the one I'm diagnosing?

Insecurity and Jealousy

It is understandable that you will/might get intimidated with people who have higher grades than you do. They are, after all, freaks of nature who probably share the same ancestry with Einstein therefore they could imagine otherworldly things like how to construct and assemble the perfect time machine which could also pass through different dimensions and cross the other worlds present in the universe. But anyway, these people are still human, so we don't have to worry. But when they start speaking about the cosmos and its connection with every living individual, try changing the topic as soon as possible.
But even if you get intimidated by these people, you don't have to attack them every chance you can do it. Especially when these people aren't doing anything to you and they are just their pretty normal self. I mean, they're just doing what they've been doing for the past years! They aren't gloating and flaunting their intelligence to the people around them!! So people who attack these 'geniuses' should stop whatever they're doing. They're producing nothing. They're just showing the whole world their insecurity about the topic!! Not only that but they are showing others that they are pea-green with jealousy with these people who receive higher grades than they do.
And drawing pathetic cartoons just to prove their insecurity and jealousy is just too immature!! I mean, HELLO!?!?! People who work hard in school would become peasants in the future while those who don't work hard in school would become successful!?!? Where did they get that idea? Are they nuts or are they just too desperate to overcome this insecurity of theirs!?!?!
Well, I only have one thing to say to them: GROW UP!!!!

The Ungrateful Ones

Pretend you're in this kind of situation:
you're in class, doing an extra hard seatwork that would really make your brain shrink and dry and shrivel up, and its obvious that the persons around you are also having a difficult time figuring out how to solve the given problem. Then suddenly, inspiration hits you and you start solving the problem in the most logical way--for you--until you come up with an answer. Eureka!! You solved it! You got an answer! But you start rechecking your work in case there was something wrong with it. Hmm, seems ok to you. Then the person beside you, who obviously noticed your sudden enthusiasm to the killer-problem, leans over and peers at your notes and looks at you with big puppy-dog-can-I-borrow-your-notes? a.k.a Can-I-copy-your-answer? Expression. Being the ever generous person, you happily lend your notes to that person with matching explanation of how you arrived at such a certain answer. That person listens, copies your work then smiles afterwards, happy that she, too, finally had an answer.
the time for the checking has arrived. You're somewhat confident of your work so you just sit back as you watch your teacher solve the problem on the board. Unfortunately, something absolutely wrong happened. Dreadfully, you watch your teacher encircle an answer much more different than yours and you belatedly realize that your solution was the wrong solution. Normally, at this time, you start talking to yourself, muttering things about why should you study this thing when you just absolutely hate it and stuff. Then as you tried stopping your hand from placing a big X-mark on your paper, the person beside you, the one who copied your notes, turns to you and looks at you warily. Without even a hint of gratefulness, she tells you in a deadpan voice that you were wrong in solving the problem that's why she had a low score for the seatwork. Ok, you try looking guilty and sympathetic and sorry when deep inside you want to hack her head off!!
so here are your choices in terms of how would you react given the situation above:
A.) you apologize, say your a real klutz in physics anyway and just bite your tongue and take out all your anger to your overstuffed, overly large teddy bear who only had one eye left due to all the punches and kicks you have bestowed on it.
B.) no comment, no reaction. Its not your fault, really. And its just better if you give her the cold shoulder. At least no one gets hurt physically....Right?
C.)follow the statement above: hack her head off!! the nerve of that b****!! You already helped her and she thanks you by blaming you of letting her get a low mark!?
I don't really understand why some people are like the person-who's-beside-you. I mean, hello? You already gave something to them and they return your generosity by shoving to your face that you're really stupid and how could you think of a solution like that when its completely off the wall!? they are so immature and stupid and childish and most of all, UNGRATEFUL!! people who're like this should be persecuted and sent to the guillotine!! Down with them!! Eliminate them from the face of the earth!! Those scumbags!!

(Note to reader: If ever the situation above happens to you, the best way to avoid this problem is to feign ignorance and lie through your teeth that you absolutely have no idea how to solve the problem and why don't she just mind her own business and use her brain for once in her life.)

Shut it!

I'm not really opposed to homosexuality. I'm even treating it as a common thing already because of how prevalent it is in my school. However, what will you do if a friend of yours just keeps on yapping about how this other girl does this things just to get her attention which makes her think that the other girl must have a crush on her because the other girl is treating her like 'someone special' and you're just so damn tired of hearing all of those things but you can't actually tell your friend to shut up or else because she'll get hurt if you do it?
its pretty funny how some people twist things around so that they won't come out as the desperate ones. Its also funny that they keep on beating around the bush when you already know what they're gonna say but you still find sweet torture in seeing them all shy and uncertain of how they're gonna say that thing they want to say. And its incredibly funny how they always try to deny the truth when awhile ago they're already stating the facts that they like that person.
the whole thing's actually fine with me, but I can't very much relate if the object of my friend's desire is also a girl. I mean, hello? I also have the same physique as her crush: I have boobs and a butt and a face and arms and hands and feet and hair....You know, I also possess those things, too. And the fact that her crush doesn't actually look like a guy only make things weirder for me.
now, pretend you're in my shoes......what're you gonna do?

Somebody To Love

by Queen

Can anybody find me somebody to love

Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?

Yeah
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love ?

(He works hard)
Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Ooh somebody - ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright - he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Japanese Animation

When people found out that you are an anime fanatic, their immediate reaction is: "Yuck! talaga?? BAKIT??" and then you're stuck between admitting your true love for anime or denying what you've said by cracking up some lame excuse like, 'Ay, Hindi. matagal na yun. Hindi na ako mahilig ngayon.'
What's up with people and their "discrimination" towards anime fans? Its not as if anime fanatics are lower than them already just because they fall in love with characters who only exist in paper!! And so what if they love to draw anime all the time, sing Japanese songs in the bathroom and speak and write in Japanese due to anime influence? Are they any different to those people who adores superstars/the girls/boy next door and sighs and daydreams and doodles in their notebooks with glazed eyes the names of their million crushes in the planet? THEY ARE NOT!! They bloody well are not so people should damn well stop considering anime fanatics as immature and childish persons!!!

Ms. Dependent

Why can't people do something on their own? Why do they have to be so utterly, annoyingly, hopelessly dependent? I'm excluding babies, toddlers and elderly, of course, but what about adults--and teenagers?
Its really so frustrating when people come up to you to say, "Hey, let's do our project.", then you will all sit down to start it, then you will realize after 10 minutes that they are just sitting there, looking expectantly at you as if you're commander of their battalion who's aboard the next ship being dispatched to the war zone. Hello? Do they still need others to tell them what to do? Why can't they figure it out for themselves!? Where's the bloody adventure in their lives, for crying out loud!!! They are so annoying that I really want to bite them if ever they do that to me one more time. I'm not their leader in the first place! And don't they ever use their brains?!?
I can't really believe how they manage to survive grade school and high school with that kind of attitude. I can't believe how they also managed to get away from it. I can't believe that other "sensible" and "independent" people are also letting them do it.
Most of all, I can't believe they have still plans to go to college.

Peer Pressure

There are different kinds of peer pressure, but what I would want to focus right now is the kind of peer pressure wherein the victim doesn't really have any choice but to obey or else. Bullying, although very prevalent in whatever school you are in, is obviously a very unhealthy activity for the one who's doing the bullying and the one being bullied. The mere thought of it is not very likeable either, so why do people still do it? I mean, HELLO!?!? What do you get by forcing other people to do what you want??? To look "cool" and "hip" and "popular"?? OH, PLEASE. If you have an IQ average which consists of only 1 unit, I think u have sufficient reason to stoop so low to this kind of attitude. Not to mention that maybe you also have huge personal insecurity issues. And aren't those bullies aware that they are not only increasing their negative popularity to the crowd, but they're also decreasing their brains' activity, therefore letting their IQ average drop below 0? And don't they realize that the person they've bullied might retaliate dangerously? Seriously, if those people do not want others whispering behind their backs and backstabbing them, then they should stop their bullying sessions pronto!

The Church and the Bible

it is actually very hard to understand the Bible using the context of the world today. there are a lot of contradictions and confusions that people, especially the youth, are experiencing, and unfortunately, the Church isn't much of a big help. i mean, there are a lot of priests who're ineffective when they are sharing the Word of God, especially in their homilies, therefore the people are having a hard time understanding AND applying the teachings of Christ. they don't actually give a simple example of how we could actually imitate Christ's way, and most of the time, they just keep droning on and on about their own experiences(or other people's) on some things, which is actually very far from the day's Bible scripture. sometimes its even worse--they just read a page long summary of something and expect the crowd to understand what they've said. i'm not blaming all the priests existing in the world, but i just hope that the Church will really monitor their 'messengers of God's word' in such a way that those 'messengers' would bring the people closer to God.
i'm not only frustrated with the priests, but also with the Bible itself. i'm not really challenging God's supremacy or anything, but frankly, the things written in the Bible seems a bit illogical and impractical in our world today. for example: its really stupid of you if you give everything that you have to your neighbors. i'm not saying that its not good to share, but what if those people you call neighbors take advantage of your kindness? you still give them everything you have, believing that there will be a much, much better reward in the end anyway even if you're now just living in scraps because you actually gave your all to everyone? and there's also the irony in the Bible saying that we should be humble and consider ourselves 'unworthy' so that in the end we will be the ones who're on the top, but we should also be proud of ourselves as God's children, and we should always value ourselves, our possessions, talents, capabilities, etc.... and all those things. so which should we follow?? the former or the latter? and don't you think it is also a bit selfish of us if we think of how we could actually be at the top, higher than everybody else? how we always strive to be higher than those people who're unfaithful to God?
and what's with those mortal sins? anger, pride, lust, envy, gluttony, covetousness, sloth..... does this mean that if we ever get lazy, we're already comitting a sin? that it is wrong to compare ourselves to other people?
so my real questions are these: what is God's true message to us as His children? and how can we be worthy of this title?
