Playing Reality Assumption
I thought that PlayStation is a playground type where a player can interact with visual reality.
Yes, I am not joking, I really did thought of PlayStation as a virtual reality playground, a playground with obstacles. It started when I was in elementary school, I think we the class is waiting for the next subject or was it recess? I really didn't remember clearly but we had free time, so we do what usually we do when the teacher is not around yet, we talked to each other about TV Shows, toys, etc. I had this one classmate went to the house of my other classmate and he was talking excitedly what he did on our classmate's house. He said that it was really fun and his tone shows it. The two are talking about how fun it is to play in Jurassic Park, a game with obstacles, games like those. They said they're going to do it again.
It sounded to me as a very physical activity, so I thought that what they're playing is some sort of obstacle course or a playground where you can interact with virtual reality. It really had my curiosity but I never bothered to ask what is a PlayStation. For about two years or so, until I began my tertiary education that is what I think of PlayStation. I assumed that it is the fact and never bothered to learn more about it. I let my personal assumptions make the fact. And that is not the way it should be.
Camera-Ready Copy Dream and Objective
I was starting to get really bored again since two of my main objectives are on a slow pace (except for my two pet projects of course, a fragrance business and an online hub for a niche). I didn't the job I am applying for and I was informed that I need to take prerequisite courses for me to pursue my higher degree.
I can really feel the boredom coming in again, I want to go out to somehow repel it but I can't since I have no money. Unlike from where I came from, you need money to enjoy things here and cast boredom away. So that night I was just there sitting on the bed, drinking coffee while reading a book. Then I began to think about how the author can easily and comfortably dig through the books of a national library and national archives. I wonder if I can do that to. We'll see.
Then there's this article in the book about the 19th century restaurants that are still intact today, albeit with a different name, the history of a food and its connection to the culture. It's a wonder to think that these findings can be found somewhere in the library or the archives, one just need to have determination to dive through the documents. Because of that thinking, I eventually have an idea to write a book. Ideas came to me, like I should write a book about a native plant from my hometown or maybe I should write how can the general public use the nutrition from indigenous food or ingredients, or maybe a historical view of a particular group of food. So I did some research online and found out that I can submit my manuscript to a publishing house.
But before that I should practice more to improve my writing, as my writing is not that good to be an author of a book yet. I'll get there, to write as a decent author, not the best but a good author. I'm thinking of starting this en devour late next year as I am focusing on my two projects. I know that it's going to be challenging but I'm determined try it, to do it.
Revolution Negation
Scandals involving politicians are everywhere!
News of politicians squandering the nation's money is not new, but in today's time where news can spread quickly and where people's minds are more aware of the events (thanks to internet) this has become a big deal. With billions of the citizen's hard-earned money being stolen by the very people who should be helping them, it's hard not to feel infuriated.
With these problems, some even suggested of a revolution.We cannot blame them if they want a revolution, after all these revelations of corruption, emotions are running high! Now it made me think why do they want revolution? Are they serious? Revolution.
Revolution according to the Webster's Dictionary it is "usually violent attempt by many people to end the rule of one government and start a new one." So these people want a violent action to replace the government. But by whom?
There are different factions wanting to rule over the state, to have that seat of power. If a revolution should happen, these factions will take that opportunity to carry out their interests. This may cause into further crisis, chaos will be the rule of the day. The country will be thrown in confusion and unity will weaken. This moment of weakness may be taken advantage of other foreign nations to intrude our sovereignty. Events like won't benefit in the long run, one thing is certain that it is its citizens who will take the full effect of the problem. The people is not ready for a revolution.
I believe that in order for a better and lasting result we should strive for a change in society itself. The way we live our everyday lives, on how we do culturally and on how we think, these are the things we should look into. We must make ourselves want to change! For how is it any better if the government has changed but the society remains the same.
However I do not reject the idea of a revolution, it has come to me that I should not throw away ideas as it may become a possibility and a reality. A revolution is to be made when the other side is turning deaf on reason. Preparedness is also to be taken account, a good support from people of ALL walks particularly from the higher class. They will at all cost protect their interest, if they are not on the revolutionary side they will be a big trouble as they will likely throw support against the movement. A sudden revolution can only mean failure.
For as long as the means for changing the society and the culture of the people are not exhausted, we should always take this road as it will be better than that of a revolution. The change of society is better than the change of the ruler. A good society will bear an optimal government. We must not tire of fighting for the improvement in society and culture of the people.
