Violence: I hate it.....

Bombing, crimes, violence, robbing, killings.... etc...

Its really devastating to hear any news about this sort of events....

The worst part is "its everywhere"....

I hate it so much... I wanted to be a "superhero" like-a-superwoman-bitch-kicking-bad-guys-asses..... hahaha... I could even picture out a smoking-hot-costume for it...

more like this....



Except I don't have that great body.... lol
Going back to senses... My point is, I know there is a way to stop violence and that is to understand the root of it...It always start in the keyword "hatred" once you let this rule over then anything can happen.

If you're a cartoon-superhero-fanatic then you know for a fact that the reason why all the villain start because of "revenge"... I guess what I'm trying to say is that anyone can be a victim of it...

So I want to encourage everyone to dress like Megan Fox if you have that hot body... lol

Kidding...

Make sure not to entertain any thoughts of hate... Cause it will make an evil out of you.... remember "too much of anything is bad enough"....


So, let's all make love instead.... (that didn't sound right... but you know what I meant.... lol)

First Vid



I'm trying youtube once more....
So I made this video and I choose the song "first love" sung by Jessa Zaragoza to be the background music its the English version of the original composition by Utada Hikaru...

Written on the description, I made this video to inspire others to keep their faith in love...I know, as the "V" day is nearly approaching some still have the weariness in their hearts while others are ecstatically waiting for "the one" to come along.

I know for a fact that love will always be there to find you.You may not realize it yet but sometimes the love you've been looking for was just in-front of you or for some who thought they already had it and yet still wounded...

Love comes when you least expect it to be or it came but you lost the opportunity to let him/her know your feelings for them....

Keep the faith...

For there will always be reason behind it..."Now" may not be the perfect time for both of you but You will know... "the right time" when everything fall into place....

C-A-P-R-I-C-O-R-N...... "the goat"


Capricorn Characteristics and Capricorn Personality

The first time you meet a Capricorn they may appear aloof, but what they really are, is cautious. Their interests are in art, theater, music, and in their own career. Usually they are drawn to people who are intellectually stimulating and they seek a partner who will fit into their realm of life. They prefer to discuss serious subjects, however, will always be there to listen to a problem.

People born under the Capricorn Sign appreciate luxury, although, Capricorns don't like splurging to make an impression. They feel that money is a serious issue that spells out security.

A Person with the Capricorn Sign tend to be dominating and are not easy to win over. They also expect to be pursued and not be the pursuers. If you're going on a date with this zodiac, make sure you're prompt. If you say you'll be there at a certain time, be there. They are intolerant to people who say something and do something else. If you have a tendency to let your emotions rule you, then you may want to keep looking

For someone else, since the Capricorn Astrology can come across as cool and reserved. As they take a common sense approach in almost everything they do, it will be included in their relationship. Capricorns want to be cherished, honored, loved and respected. In return, passion will run deep and you will have a loving lasting relationship.

---- This is the closest description of my personality among all the Capricorn-personality-astrologers could ever define....


Have you heard about Ophiuchus?


Park Kunkle, an Astronomer who was interviewed in NBC said the addition of Ophiuchus on the Zodiac is because of the Earth's alignment to the sun has changed position over 3,000 years ago. Astronomers have decided it has to be rearranged today.

I, on the other-hand was born on the 14th of February. I used to be the most unique, the loyal and the most friendly sign among the stars "the water bearer" the "peculiar one"... "the Aquarius"...

Not until, today... but putting my frustration aside I googled Ophiuchus for a while and the name itself scared the crap-out-of-me....

"The 13th sign Ophiuchus - The serpent holder"... the serpent holder?

Isn't a "serpent" was the representation of Satan in the bible!?....


but,

Actually, its one of the 48 constellation described by Ptolemy. Astrologers said they did not included it on the zodiac because they were concerned for the sun travels around Ophiuchus was for only 19 days. It is also considered the only constellation patterned after a man. Strangely, Ophiuchus also represents Imhotep which was according to Egyptian 3rd Dynasty he was second in command under Pharoah Djoser who believed to be the replica of Joseph, "the dreamer" in the bible.

Hmmm...... Therefore,

My Analysis of this fact perhaps Joseph had save Egypt from the depths of famine at the time which may represent the "serpent" and Joseph carrying the serpent to protect humankind.... Thus, identifying him with Ophiuchus....

Such an interesting fact for a bizarre name... ^_^

How to Confront Someone Who's Giving You the Silent Treatment



by Krystle C., Jack Herrick, Ben Rubenstein, et. al



1. Make sure you're not just being paranoid. Sometimes, it's not about you at all. Perhaps he or she is being quiet because someone in his or her family is ill, or is having personal problems. In this case, you shouldn't take it personally. Perhaps back off a little and leave some space. Or not: withdrawing from friends can be a feature of depression, so reaching out may be exactly what your friend needs. But, if you notice that this person is only acting quietly towards you, and not towards others, for an extended period of time, then you may have reason to be concerned.

2. Test the waters with a sense of humor. If the person is just in a bad mood (maybe because of something you did, maybe not) you might be able to lighten the mood with a little bit of playfulness.

3. Examine if this is a pattern. Has this person done this before? Does s/he try to control or "punish" you in other ways? If so, ask yourself whether this is a relationship you want to maintain. See How to Recognize a Manipulative or Controlling Relationship.

4. Question your own behavior. When did the silent treatment start? What happened that day, or in the days just before the behavior changed? Could you have done or said something insensitive? Did something change? Try to understand what could set off the silence. Narrow it down to a few possibilities and try to think of ways you can fix the situation.

5. Rehearse what you're going to say. You want to have one conversation and then feel like you said what you needed to say, so plan it ahead of time. It's easy to get nervous and/or defensive, or to come off the wrong way, if you aren't prepared. Close your eyes and imagine you're alone with this person and say out loud what you want to say. Listen to the way you make your statement, and adjust your tone if need be.

6. Speak in private. Speak to the person when you're alone and are unlikely to be interrupted.

7. Begin by apologizing if you believe you did something to offend or hurt the person, even if you're not sure what it is. Say something like "I'm so sorry if I've done or said something stupid to you."

8. Say that you value the friendship. E.g. "I've really enjoyed spending time/working with you." or "Please help me out here, because I appreciate your friendship so much."

9. Honestly express how this makes you feel. The cold shoulder is painful to the recipient (you). Let this person know that you do sincerely want to work things through, but if that's not going to happen in the near future, you may not continue "volunteering" to be frozen out. Example: "It really hurts that you're shutting me out, and I wish you would talk to me so we could put this behind us. The reality is that I think about this so much that I can't study or even sleep, so if this continues much longer, I'm going to need to stop waiting and just assume that you do not want to be friends anymore. I don't want to do that, which is why I'm telling you now."

10. Be open to whatever s/he has to say. Let him or her know that if there's a problem, you're all ears. It's important to know why s/he is giving you the silent treatment, and s/he probably feels that you deserve this treatment. Moreover, people want to know you understand what you are apologizing for. Paraphrase, make educated guesses: "and that made you feel sad?", and use stories to reach mutual understanding.

11. Offer to walk away. After all, a silent treatment indicates that he or she no longer wants to speak with you for whatever reason. If you have tried to discover the problem, but s/he won't share or discuss the reason, there's not much else you can do. At this point, ask directly, "So you just don't want to work this out? You don't want to talk to me or be friends any more?" If the answer is yes, s/he wants you to leave him or her alone, then do so. If s/he says no, or not really, or I'm not sure, then say something like "Okay, well, since you're not ready yet, take some more time. I'm here whenever you feel ready to talk again. I really like being friends and hope we can work this out, but I'll leave it to you to reach out when you're ready to be friends again. I'll be there." Leave the burden of calling or initiating contact to them, so that they can have the space and time that they need.

12. Pay attention to your tone. If you did do something to start this, you want to make sure your tone doesn't indicate that you think s/he is being overly sensitive or is acting stupidly. S/he, after all, may feel hurt in some way, and a snide or patronizing tone will only make things worse between you.

13. Try only once. This can be the hardest part - after you have apologized and attempted to understand what is going on, you have done your part. Now, it is up to the other person to step up and begin communicating with you. If s/he does not, that is his/her decision. You cannot fix this without cooperation from him/her.

14. Pat yourself on the back. Confronting someone takes courage, and you've handled it as best and as maturely as you could! No matter what the final outcome is, you faced up to a problem squarely, made your best effort to resolve it, and accepted the result.

Your objective should not be to accuse him/her, or even to defend yourself - rather, it should be to let the person know that
(1) you didn't mean to offend or insult,
(2) you've tried to understand his or her point of view,
(3) if there is a need to address something with you, you agree to hear him or her out fully, and
(4) if s/he wants to keep the reasons to him or herself, and end your friendship, you'll respect his or her wishes.

If you make the person feel pressured to tell you what's on his or her mind, or if you offer guilt or more coldness in return, you might reinforce the behavior and miss a chance to save the relationship.

Keep in mind that no one can be obligated to speak to you. Everyone has the right not to speak to anyone they like. If someone else has made that choice and chooses not to reconsider, your role becomes finding a way to accept that. At some point, it's no longer about the other person. It's now about you finding the maturity to let it be.
If you're not sure whether it's the silent treatment, try asking more generically, "You've been a bit quiet lately. Is anything wrong?"

Don't feel guilty for failing as a mind reader. You can do your best to understand why this person no longer wants to associate with you, but for him or her to clam up and expect you to figure things out on your own is unrealistic, and exhibits poor communication skills.

If s/he keeps giving you the silent treatment every time your relationship hits a bump in the road, and you've made it clear that you're receptive to hearing his/her perspective, then maybe the relationship is better off silent. One who seems to relish nursing a grudge makes for a difficult friend; in the end, friendships are supposed to be a refuge from the storms of life.

If this friend is causing storms in your life on a fairly regular basis, it's not something you should "get used to" or put up with. It's something you should nip in the bud early, or accept the fact that you may just need to find friends who are supportive, kind, and communicative instead.

If this is happening on a regular basis, it can be a form of emotional abuse. In an abusive relationship, even if you do everything "right," you will never be able to stop the abuse completely.

Consult with friends to confirm your perception about this, and ask them if they feel it might just be paranoia on your part.

Boys Over Flowers Quotes

Some of the quotes I collected over the net....



I just can't get enough of this Korean Drama Series....
I'm lovin' Jan Di and Jun Pyo.... ^_^





“It’s not too late. It would only take one word, if you said that you like me…”
– Jun Pyo


I like you. No matter how hard I try not to like you, no matter how hard I try to erase you… my efforts are so fruitless to the extent that I get angered by it.”
– Jan Di

“Throw away your misconception that all good girls want nice guys.”
– Ga Eul

“You’re not afraid of anything in this world, but when you see a bug you start quivering in fear. Rather than having a single finger broken on your girlfriend, you’re an idiot that thinks it would be better if all your ribs were broken instead. You don’t even know the difference between pride and privacy. You’re so stupid you swear your always right even though you completely mess up every saying in the book. You hate kids but you want to take your son to go see the stars.
You want to become a good father. You’re a lonely but affectionate person. That’s exactly who you are. Say it… my name.”
– Jan Di

“The moment I see your face, it feels like bugs are crawling all over my body” – Jan Di

“I can’t promise her anything now. I can’t tell her I’ll always make her laugh, that I’ll make her happy or to trust in me. Being the son of someone like that, being a member of that kind of family — I hate it enough myself so how must she feel? She would of have hated everything she went through already.”
– Jun Pyo

“Just because you were born male, doesn’t automatically make you a man. Becoming stronger from losing, yielding even though it is unfair, running away even though it’s shameful, overcoming self confidence over time, that’s how one becomes a real man.”
– Grandma / Head Maid

“I don’t know when it started either. But now, I can’t be without you.”
– Ji Hoo

“I’d thought that it might be better to send her to you rather than stay with her when I make things so difficult for her. I didn’t even want to imagine it, but if I had to, I thought the other person must be you, that you were the only one it could be. But still, I can’t do it.”
– Jun Pyo

“This time I realized that you and I are from different worlds. We met as though in a dream, but now it’s time for us to return to our own worlds.”
– Jan Di

“Children… when in front of what they really want, they don’t hesitate. If they lose it, they know they’ll start crying.” – Ga Eul
“After meeting you, there’s only been one thing I wish for — for you to be happy and not cry anymore. I’m afraid that after tomorrow, you won’t be able to smile again.”
– Ji Hoo

“There’s already someone I love. She’s the first in my life and for the rest of my life, she’ll be the only one. You still want to marry me?” – Jun Pyo

I like you. No matter how hard I try not to like you, no matter how hard I try to erase you… my efforts are so fruitless to the extent that I get angered by it.”
– Jan Di


“If everything can be settled by the word sorry, then why would law and police exist?” – Ji Hoo

”I stepped back as a friend — I gave up because she was my friend’s girlfriend. I gave you a chance up till the end. I’m not going to hold back anymore.” – Ji Hoo

“I haven’t lost to you and I am not running away either. You’re the worst person I’ve ever met. I’m leaving because I don’t wish to connect the ones I love to you. I’m just sorry that I can’t save the one person I love the most from you.”
– Jan Di

“If it were me, I’d spend the time looking for my soulmate — although I’m not even sure stuff like that exists.”
– Yi Jung

“Guys don’t do things for no reason in front of the girl they like. There’s always a reason. I’m speaking from experience, so you can trust me.”
– Ji Hoo

“It’s not too late. It would only take one word, if you said that you like me…”
– Jun Pyo

“Good shoes take you to good places”
- Seo Hyun

“Yeah, I’m a woman. Can’t a commoner be a woman too? My family, my looks and my brains suck, I know. Even if you didn’t point it out so clearly, I already know. Got it, punk?”
– Jan Di

“I hope you will change your thinking that commoners’ pride can be bought with money. People’s hearts can’t be bought either. You don’t know that, do you? But he knows that now.”
– Jan Di

“I don’t know anything about him. But I know how special you are to him. He looks so sad to me, but there are times when he smiles, warmly enough to melt the heart of anyone who sees. You’re the only one who can make him smile. If you leave like this, he may not smile again.”
– Jan Di

”If you two break up, I’m going to feel so wronged I’ll die. So if you want to split up, you have to report to me and get my approval.”
– Jae Kyung

-“You do this every time. Whenever I try to get closer, you trample my heart like it’s nothing. Do I still mean so little to you?”
– Jun Pyo

“I came to find your heart. I didn’t lose it on purpose.”
– Jan Di

“If the person you love is suffering because of you, can you let her go?”
– Ji Hoo

“One, I don’t mess with nice girls. Two, I don’t mess with foolish girls. Three, I absolutely don’t mess with girls connected with my friends. You know all three apply to you, don’t you? My answer is no.”
– Yi Jung

“It’s not a dream. If it were, it wouldn’t have been so painful. After sending you off, I realized that I’d done nothing all this time. When I came to my senses, you were on the plane. So it’s not a dream. Because you’re in front of me now.”
– Ji Hoo

“Can you hear me? While you’ve been away, I’ve thought of you every day — but why do I only remember us fighting? Still, isn’t it odd? I only remember us fighting and getting mad all the time, but when I think about you, I laugh. You’re okay, right? When are you going to come back and fight with me?”
– Jan Di

“Idiot. Stupid. Double-digit-IQ dummy. How could I do that when you were captured? I’d rather get all my ribs broken than let them damage one of your fingers. But still, why did you rush in when I was letting them beat the hell out of me? What if something happened?”
– Jun Pyo
