I just finish reading this book called "the curious incident of the dog in the night time" by Mark Haddon and there's this one particular chapter that totally blew me off. The conceptualization of the chapter was just superb. i know it's not right to believe in this kinds of things but it just blew me away. And it's kinda scary in a way.
Before anything else the guy on the book who wrote this is a "special" kid. He's 15 i think and he has psychiatric disorder. anywayz read the book it's good..
"People believe in God because the world is very complicated and they think it is very unlikely that anything as complicated as a flying squirrel or the human eye or a brain could happen by chance. But they should think logically and if they thought logically they would see that they can only ask this question because it has already happened and they exist. And there are billions of planets where there is no life, but there is no one on those planets with brains to notice. And it is like if everyone in the world was tossing coins eventually someone would get 5,698 heads in a row and they would think they were very special. But they wouldn't be because there would be millions of people who didn't get 5,698 heads.
And there is life on earth because of an accident. But it is a very special kinf of accident. And for this accident to happen in this special way, there have to be 3 conditions. And these are
1. Things have to make copies of themselves (this is called Replication)
2. They have to mae small mistakes when they do this (this is called Mutation)
3. These mistakes have to be the same in their copies (this is called Heritability)
And these conditions are very rare, but they are possible, and they cause life. And it just happens. But it doesn't have to end up with rhinoceroses and human beings and whales. It could end up with anything.
And for exa,ple, some people say how can an eye happen by accident? Because an eye has to evolve from something else very like and eye and it doesn't just happen because of a genetic mistake, and what is the use of half an eye? But half an eye is very useful because half an eye means that an animal can see half of an animal that wants to eat it and get out of the way quick enough, and the animal that is eaten won't have babies because it is dead. And 1% of an eye is better then no eye.
And people believe in God think God has put human beings on the earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. Or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal"

It's gonna be my birthday a couple of weeks from now. And i'm thinking this is my last 2 weeks being a teenager. To be honest.. i'm a little freaked-out by the whole growing up thing. maybe because the inevitability of being old and "dying" gives me this despondent feeling that i can never take away from myself. But when i think about the people around me that cares for me, it goes away.. I just tell myself "Hey, you're not alone.." and i would feel better..
Growing up doesn't necessarily means "bad news".. it's just a step.. a recreational area where you can grow up and become a man or a woman you want to be and start having responsibilities of your own. Which sucks and kinda great in a way. cause you can do stuff that you can't do when you're a teenager..
Growing up in the Philippines all my life then suddenly move here in the states was a little bit "shaky" for me.. when i was putting my life all together suddenly i had to start again from the beginning and build myself here all over. i guess the change of environment helped me realize all this predicament in my life.
Sometimes i wish that someone will just hug me and say "Everything is gonna be ok.. "that there's no reason to be afraid in life, that the world will be a better place to live in..
I believe every human being reading this blog somehow can relate to what i'm feeling right now.. it's like the last days of your highschool.. that bittersweet feeling that no one understands but everyone can relate to..
I guess the questions thats been bothering me is,
what will happen in the future??..
What will happen to the world??..
Where would i travel??..
Will i ever get married??..
How many childrens will I have??..
Am I gonna find my "soulmate"??..
I guess all of this questions will be answered eventually..
After all.. Everthing worthwhile takes time...

and if you feel the way i feel..
.
.
.
.
.
... don't worry...
.
.
.
.
.
.
"you're not alone"...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"everything is gonna be ok"...

This song is Brilliant.. So beautiful and says so much in so little words. It is so beautiful and if more people were to think about what this song meant, then the world would probably be just 1% better...
Snow Patrol- Chasing Cars
We'll do it all Everything On our own
We don't need Anything Or anyone
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know How to say How I feel
Those three words Are said too much They're not enough
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads
I need your grace To remind me To find my own
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life
"All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see "
I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

i haven't updated this blog for ages.. i'll just write some random stuff thats been going on in my mind lately..
Decisions...
Our lives are filled with decisions.. Decisions that will either make us or brakes us. Decisions we have a minute, an hour, a year or even a second to think about. The truth is no one's gonna decide for us. We decide for ourselves and whatever our decisions will be... Stick to it! no regrets! Just keep living..
Ok so sometimes even though best of us make rushed decisions, bad decisions. Descisions we pretty much know we're gonna regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean maybe not regret regret because atleast we know we put ourselves out there.. still something inside us decides to do a crazy thing, thing we know probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yeah, we do it anyway...
What im saying is "we ripped what we saw". What comes around goes around..
One way or another our karma believe us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind. One way or another our karma will always find us. And the truth is... we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor. No matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma it follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about karma its not unfair, it's not unexpected, it just evens the score... And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma that bite us in the ass.
Well it goes without saying.. we do it anyway...

My name is John and iam 19 years old and i know that im still young and still have a lot to learn in this life. This past few weeks have been very hard on me. i dont know why, i really dont.. Physically and emotionally i've been "down" lately, and it got me thinking of some personal stuff thats been going in my life. so im typing here trying to express myself. i guess i just want to share whats been going on in my mind lately.. and the questions that needs answers to define me as a person, which i need to go on with my life.. "LIFE".. what is life?? WHY ARE WE HERE??..
I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you want them, there's a measure of a successful life then some would say i'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointment. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won't be sunny and when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair. REMEMBER..... "it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars and that star can lead you back home.." So don't be afraid to make mistakes , stumble and fall, cuz most of the time THE GREATEST REWARD COMES FROM THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THE MOST. Maybe you'll get everything you wished for. Maybe you'll get more than you could ever imagine. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long... and in the end...... "The journey is the destination.."
