God Bless the World

A man that is fed up with pop culture, is sick and tired of the iGeneration and hates the idiot-box-dependent world so much that he wants to kill anyone who is a slave to it. I recently watched this movie and me and my Nokia 1208 could totally relate with Frank, the main character.

I agree with almost all of Frank's point specially the one's mentioned below:

No one has a real conversation anymore.

A group of friends couldn't hangout without anyone looking down on their phones.

The youth always has this need to record everything, they can't be contented with just being at the moment.

An 8 year old kid should NOT be given an iPhone or a Blackberry.

Every 16 year old spoiled brat should die 

This is not a deep heart-crunching life-changing movie. Some Nicholas-Sparks-novel-turned-movie-lover might even say that this is a nonsense movie. Vampire and Zombies would probably love this movie due to the abundance of blood and killing. But imo, the movie shows how ALL of us are victims of what we see on TV. Victims of what the different forms of media is trying to make us think. Frank is a victim of the boobtube too because he thought he was saving this William Hung Wannabe(WHW) from humiliation, what he didnt know is that WHW loves any kind of attention he could get. And with him knowing that, he lost his faith in humanity (to quote a famous 9gag line) and went on a killing spree with his AK9. 

If I am going to meet him in real life, I would probably go with him on his saving the civilization mission like this teenage girl he met. I could see my self in the character of Roxy, only with less cooler taste in music.

Nah, my hands wont be drenched with blood soon but I just wish for something better. I know this is one sign of ageing, when you think that the current generation SUCKS. 

Ok, enough for trying to make you believe I am a hipster. Your wifi capable phone is ringing, you might want to answer it while I blow your head off. =P

Lost

Sound like this girl is lost. But come to think of it, a person who doesn't have a destination could never be lost but sailing without a harbor in mind is tiring. 

I am tired of floating around without a clue where should I go. The lack of post in this blog is an evidence. It means there is nothing happening in my life that I feel is worth sharing. I feel like I have this larger than life spirit that is just waiting to take off but something is preventing it to soar. 

If I am going to summarize my passion to three things they are finance, health and traveling. But my job is nowhere near those three, what a tragedy. Ok, so maybe the reason why I am doing diverted things from my passion is because I do not set goals.. err, destination. Fine. So let me create concrete aspirations.

FINANCE
I am going to be a billionaire with passive income by the age of 35.
I am going to have my own house by the age of 30.
I am going to straighten up my finances before I reach 26. 

HEALTH

I am going to get serious with yoga and I am going to work out at least one a week.
I am going to have abs before this year ends.
I am going to share health and wellness knowledge with other people.

TRAVELING
I am going to go to a different country at least once a year.
I am going to go to a new place within the Philippines at least twice a year.
I am going to aim for a travel job.

There you go. I know, I know. These goals are quite vague but at least now I have goals to aim for instead of just swimming with the current of life. I am reclaiming my dreams. Yes. 

Oh, and I might have to change that description on my blog as I am not lost anymore.

 

Kalayaan 2012

Kagabi ay nakatanggap ako ng email mula sa isang employer sa Doha, Qatar. May job opening sa posisyon ng Desktop Support Specialist sa kumpanyang Halian na nakabase sa bansa na mura ang langis. Nang mabasa ko ang email na ito ay minessage ko agad ang tito ko na kasalukuyang nakatira at nagtatrabaho sa Qatar. Naexcite din siya kaya tinawagan niya pa ako at niresearch pa nila ng tita ko ang kumpanyang Halian. 

Pag-asa. Nakalagay kasi sa job description na magiinstall sa mga desktop. Naalala ko ang trabaho ko sa Land Bank. Naisip ko na baka sakaling sa trabahong ito ay magkaron ulit ako ng chansang makapagbyahe byahe. O kaya kung mataas ang sweldo ko ay magkaron ako ng sapat na pera para makapamasyal sa Europe kasi yun talaga ang pangarap ko sa buhay. Ang malibot ang buong mundo.

Naisip ko din na seryosohin na ang pagaapply ng migration sa New Zealand. Balak ko nga na mag-aral para sa IELTS exam at makapasa bago matapos ang taong ito at kumuha ng Masteral ng IT sa La Salle sa 2013.

Kaso sa pagkakandarapa kong makaalis ng bansa ay natisod ako sa isang blog entry mula sa mas bata kong sarili. Saktong dalawang taon na ang nakakalipas ay naisulat ko ito:

June 12, 2010

At kahit marumi na ang pangmasang imahen ni Sharon Cuneta at pati na rin ni KC Concepcion. Tama nga naman, dahil kagaya ng kaligayahan, ang kalayaan ay para sa lahat ng mga taong pumipili dito. 

Alam naman nating lahat na alipin tayo ng iba't ibang ehemplo ng lipunan pero nasa sa atin kung pipiliin ba nating tayuan ng DMCI homes ang ating mga puntod o umalpas sa kamangmangan at kahirapan na ipinamana sa atin ng nakaraan henerasyon.

Hindi ko alam kung saan nangggaling yung mga ideya ko sa huling paragraph. Kung paanong ang paghahanap ng trabaho sa ibang bansa ay napunta sa DMCI homes pero ang alam ko, panalo talaga dapat si Pacquiao laban kay Bradley.
