I'll be sleeping tonight with the window of my room facing the moon open hoping for a good miracle to happen when I wake up. I'm nearly loosing faith of everything.

[dealwithexchan]

i think "take a hike" is like the funniest response to someone. like dude just get outta here. and go experience the wonder of nature for a bit

[dealwithexchan]

We are not selfish by nature.

This is a lie, encouraged by those who do selfish things, to absolve themselves of the shame that stems from choosing to act selfishly.

They know that their actions are aberrant, but to acknowledge that their aberrancy is voluntary would be to admit that they are monstrous by choice.

To admit that they could, if they wished, atone and make amends.

Isn't it easier then to say, "this is in my nature", than to bare your throat and put yourself at the mercy of those you've wronged, knowing you deserve to face their pain?

It is not in your nature to be cruel. It is not in your nature to be selfish. You are Good- we are all Good- and that is what makes it all so much worse.

The Last of the Starks: My Rusted Thoughts

Just as so many of the HoTD fans and GoT fans who are enraged that after 172 years – the Irone Throne will be owned by the Starks. Well, given that I have watched the Game of Thrones like 3 times now already I think it is safe for me to share my notions as to why Bran the Broken deserves the throne.

Of course, given also the fact that George R.R. Martin said that the person who should win and own the throne will always be a Stark, and I, too, know as many of you are feeling engrossed why did not Jon Snow got the throne. Yeah, he was a bastard, later known as a half Targaryen and Stark.

Then, here’s what I am going to tell you. It is a bit fucked up that the showrunners and the writers let Jon killed Dany. But we are just getting to my main point. It was really bad that they let Jon kills her, it did not come to that, it would be good to assume what you and I were thinking.

Why do the Starks most deserve to win the game?

As far as it is crystal-clear to us, the Starks had shown no interest in ruling the Seven Kingdoms, even Ned Stark did not wish her daughter Sansa to be promised to Jeoffrey, it was King Robert who proposed it.

Now, this all goes down to the idea that the Starks never wanted anything “why do I say so?” it is very clear each of the Stark only want from the very beginning of the show, like Ned only wants to serve the realm good, but ended up losing his head for it. Or you could see Sansa only wanting to be a queen, which she got in the end, or Arya only wanting to be a fighter. Putting these thoughts into one make the Starks the purest and honorable family in Westeros. They never wished anything but risked almost of their lives for being loyal and honorable, but as the saying goes on: “Leave one wolf alive, and the sheep are never safe.” Arya proved that when she avenged the Red Wedding.

Moreso, I have seen so many people never wanting Bran sitting on the Irone Throne, not that there is Irone Throne anymore since Drogon melted it to the ground. But since Bran is king now, it is only fair not to be sad about the ending of the GoT.

The total arguments I have read about Jon not being King, and Bran being King is a massive topic to be talked about, and if you actually see the real thought of this betrayal (the writers did to us) it does not give us the proper ending we deserve for each of the character. Just like how they did no justice to Jon Snow, I mean, what is the main reason he was resurrected and did not end up being king? All the more reason why we have to see and learn his real identity and expect him to be king but ended up nothing? Perhaps Ygrette was always right. “You know nothing, Jon Snow.” The showrunners really gave us so many thoughts about Jon being the king, as to how the Red Woman portrayed him as Prince who was Promised. BUT ENDED UP WITH NOTHING BUT EXILE!

Where this all boils down? The Song of Ice and Fire, was it? The great houses of Starks and the Targaryens. I mean I would really give all I could to be in this show to watch Jeoffrey clawing to his mouth as he dies or go to the Sept of Baelor and tell Margaery to never go there so she could not die. HAHA,

What I just want to say is that, in every show we watch and grown attached with are hard to forget. Sometimes there are other characters whom we know bad in the show but still support them because they “got the power”.

Just as any of you would like to know. I stand with the Starks. The North Remembers.

I am rooting for that to happen. I really want to become a very good speaker ✨

Showering love and care to all of my friends out there. Know that you are never forgotten or abondoned, always know that you have family and friends who you can talk to if you ever feel down. Ily💜

Dear, exanejinreallife!

TODAY WAS THE WORST...

'Yung nakakuha nung wooden riffle ko is cute and nag refuse s'ya to give back my riffle but I agreed kasi cute naman s'ya, ehe~.

After my ROTC training, I did some unwinding walking to a friend of my friend at his place in upper comcent. We parted goodbyes, and I waited for my college mates for a meeting at MSU grandstand.

After that, while walking home; I was caught up by the rain. Oh, btw, that photo was my foot fanning around like a tale of a peacock while I was busy contacting my co-maj friend that I'm bored waiting up there.

All in all? I was a total flower vase. You know what I mean? If you don't, I feel boring discussing what does that mean. Go review what type of figurative language is that. Bye. Xiao... Oh, di mo alam meaning ng "Xiao"? Pakamatay ka na. Xiexie... XD

Globalization and Civilization: How Globalized and Civilized Am I.

It’s hard making the day works each day, yet somehow it is survivable. For me, at least this week I have been doing my research regarding my assignments about history. Since history is one of the major foundations of my field study (Social Studies); I cannot help but wonder how civilization changed us, how the progress made everything we are now in 21st century.

Since civilization and globalization are the words that are most talked about in trends and issues (one of my courses), I have been thinking and making outlines how did these two aesthetic words changed me.

I mean I am not globalized, at least before, but now I cannot attest to that. LOL

The topic globalization means being globalized, and civilization mean being civilized, at least for me AGAIN.

We are going to talk about that two, referring to myself in this blog. First, “being globalized” is a very educational terms to say to a 21st century citizen like me; to us “youth” we prefer the term “gen z”, that word has a deeper meaning and as I am sure you are familiar with. In Filipinos, specifically me who writes this blog prefers the term “bagets”. “This blogging thing is nakaka-bagets. O djevuuh?”

That is one of the wording samples “being globalized” means for me. We see how language and communication evolves. How a hard-to-understand word can be easily or even HARDLY understood.

Civilization, “being civilized. How do I describe “being civilized” referring only to myself?

Ask Taylor Swift that.

Now I would like to take you back to my childhood and share some memory that my dad I shared.

When I was a kid. We used to attend weddings, relative weddings of course. Every time we were going to attend a wedding, my father would always require us to wear something (not totally a thing” that at least connect to our family traditions. I do not understand the concept and idea of it, but I just did my father told me, so each time we go to a wedding we just do that. The purpose of that family tradition we do is supposed to be untold, and I am sharing it here not the full story because it is forsaken to be shared-the full details.

To what that memory connects to “being civilized”?

To this day, and for the days that are to come. We don’t have to wear that rather we just need to cite the words that are needed. We can now use that in some other occasions or in our daily lives because it is in wording now.

You see the power of being civilized? If before, things are hard and complicated. In this modern time things are easier.

If in any case, civilized and globalized, or civilization and globalization changed me or changed people. Yes, it does.

In my case, I was changed because I evolve, we evolve as do communication.

Never said anything to me-

“There’s this beautiful moment in the beginning of a friendship where these people have no idea that one day they’ll hate each other.”

- Taylor Swift // folklore: long pond session

There's nothing more painful than seeing your friends slowly becoming your enemies. The person you used to laugh with has become a person you have to cut off your life.

And even it's necessary, it still sometimes hurt it had to end on that situation.

[dealwithexchan]

"As I grow older I'm learning that not everything is worth a reaction and that sometimes convenience should come before happiness.

I learned that it's okay to want to sleep early and withdraw from the party or family event because you have to wake up early tomorrow.

I realized that people are different and when they do or say something mean it is just a reflection of who they are not who am I. I realized that nothing is ever black or white and that most of the time we live in the grey. Sometimes we stay silent just because we want to add nothing more and not because we are defeated. I realized that closures are self made and not something people do because sometimes one has to move on without a proper apology anyway.

I learned that strength does not mean toughness. It means allowing yourself to be kind everyday while knowing that kindness is often not well perceived.

Getting older sets us free from many things that tortured us for years. It is like ridding yourself from every trauma you had. Not because you get wiser but because the older you get the less you care about others and the more you fall in love with how amazing you are and how far you've come."

Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Tonight we begin again. Red (my version) is out now.

The Untamed (that tamed me).

This drama has made me realize things, the love of pure that starts from being friends. The care shown by Wangji and Weiying with each other means a lot to me. And I learnt from it so much.

The show simply gives us the glimps of acceptance that everything is under control so long as there is care and love. Both the main characters Lan Wan Ji and Wei Wu Xian proved it.

I think of all the conclusions that I can't put through words. It only means that this show teaches the watchers to not be afraid of the obstacles and struggles they face. It may just be a challenge for you. Remember that you're not alone, you have friends and someone out there cares the most that you could ever imagine.

I'll never forget this show, I'll always remember it.🇨🇳⛩️💜

[dealwithexchan]

Love this drama.💜

“He had a aura of smooth moonlight”. And sometimes, he wasn’t mentioned directly as “Lan Wangi is coming” but describes the appearance to guess “dressed in snowy robs, wide sleeves and forehead ribbons flapping in the wind” . But Wei Wuxian phrased this as

“Mourning clothes”.
