I'm trying my best not to inherit my fathers anger

Image
Before anything, let me get one thing straight. I love my father, he puts food on the table, he works hard and is probably the funniest person I know. That said. He has a toxic temper. I don't know where it comes from but he has this inane itch deep inside him that any chance he can be angry he takes it and I know it for a fact. Sometimes when he gets angry at me because of something I did, I can't do anything else to avoid his anger.  If I apologize, he'd stare angrily at me and he'll tell me I'm not genuinely sorry.  If I become confused of why he's angry (because sometimes the things he gets angry about is incredibly small and petty i.e shouting at his whole family to disconnect from the wifi rather than asking nicely or just sounding urgent but not mad) he'd tell me I'm acting dumb or I am dumb or have no brains (sometimes he'll say that directly to me). And If I try to explain that I did nothing wrong he'd sarcastically tell me that I'm

Generation Z Doesn't Know They Rule The World

Image
Generation Z is a weird generation because it is a generation without direction or goal but for some reason they are in charge of what Millennials and Boomers see and no one wants to admit that that’s what actually happening. But let’s talk about Gen Z babies first and what I mean about not having actual goals, what I mean is that they Gen Z-ers doesn’t know what they want because they are the first generation to be free from handed down responsibility. Baby Boomers created everything from the ground up because they and the generation before them came from a time of war and discourse and they didn’t have time to be individuals as they were trying to fix the world then Millennials had to upgrade the world they inherited from the Baby Boomers, they had to enhance technology and every way of life and basically created a free blanks slate for the next generation. Which is what happened to Gen Z, they have been given so much freedom, they are the generation that can become almost anyt

How The RC Commercial Knew How To Go Viral

There's a new advertisement from RC Cola and I need you to sit down for this. And if you've already seen it, you can collect a blanket and some coffee from the back to recover from what you've just experienced. A couple of days ago (from the time I'm writing this blog), RC Cola Philippines released a new advertisement, the commercial's contents are as follows: A young man wearing a school uniform comes home from school, he bursts into their kitchen where his mother is preparing dinner.  The young man is crying, his mother asks what's wrong and the young man asks his mother if he's adopted.  His mother is confused as to where all of this was coming from, the young man tells her that his classmates are bullying him and teasing him for being adopted, his mother denies this of course but the young man shouts as he demands the truth, he takes off his uniform and bend down on the dining table and exclaims: "Ma, ipaliwanag mo bakit ako may apat na baso sa liko

How I learned to live with myself by watching BoJack Horseman

Image
I've just recently started watching BoJack Horseman and it made me feel to many things that I need to write something. BoJack Horseman is an animated series about a horse who used to be a popular sitcom star but is now an alcoholic and washed up celebrity who suffers from depression but tries to suppress it by being a hindrance on the few wacky characters who still try to put up with him. This show about a cartoon talking horse has made me understand my point of view of depression, anxiety, self-doubt and everything in between. But the greatest realization I have had from it is that "It is your fault". People can hurt you, events can damage you and it will make you cynical, sad or traumatized but everything depends on how you take it and what you do with it. It is one of the harshest things I've ever realized about depression, I was mad it at first because it can't always be your fault right?  You can have neglecting parents that will cause you to aspire to be a c

Alto's Odyssey: The Most Relaxing Game Ever

Image
Angry Bird teaches projection and precise calculation, Temple Run keeps your guard and teaches you how to think on your feet and Plant Vs Zombies gives you tangible stakes and a great soundtrack to play to. Now, Take all of those elements, put them in one game and you'll get Alto's Odyssey. Alto's Odyssey (Available in both Android and iOs) is an endless, runner, side scroller-game about a sledder named Alto. You spend the whole game sledding through mountains, desserts and vines while dealing with obstacles such as jumping over chasms, avoiding giant rocks, riding walls and escaping pesky lemurs all while going through different kinds of beautiful and captivating "Biomes" or weather conditions such as blizzards, desserts, rainforests and storms. As action packed and fast paced as this game may be due to how I describe it, Alto's Odyssey is one of the only games that keeps coming back to my phone. Even though my phone is already warning me that there's too

HOW TO MAKE A JOKE IN 5 STEPS

Image
Are you easily frightened? Because I am.   I remember this one time when I was going home and it was midnight. I went inside my house and it was so dark and so creepy, when suddenly, our dog started barking at me. I said "Shhh! Please stop, Shhh! Or you'll wake the neighbors" But then I noticed that our dog wasn't barking at ME...but at something behind me. So, I turned around and there I saw an old man, his face was pale, he was wearing a worn out suit   and he had no legs...he was floating. And in a low and raspy voice the old man said. "Hey...you don't have a dog" And I shouted. "Oh My Gosh You're right! I don't have a dog" I turned around but when I did...the dog was gone. THAT'S when I got scared. THAT . was one of the most tolerable jokes I've ever written. I've always liked making people laugh (if you don't then get a heart), I've always been the class clown, the punching bag and the receiving end of mine and

I don't know if this was a memory or a dream

WARNING:  The writing you're about to read  may contain content that are  too  SPOOOOOOOKY   I'm writing this 2 hours after midnight right now...so 2 am. While my brother is sleeping soundly and loudly on his bed I'm wide awake typing away at my laptop because when I was trying to fall asleep myself, I remembered something, a very old memory. I knew it was a very old memory because I remember being at that place in time as a child, but what made me toss and turn and eventually sit up and write this was that the fact that I couldn't remember for the life of me if the event that I remembered was an old memory that actually happened... or a dream that wasn't real. Has that ever happened to you? Think. Seriously. Think HARD. An event that you can remember by detail, where you were, who was with you, what you were doing but the only thing bothering you about remembering it is not being sure if it was a real memory or just a dream. Before I analyze it any further I'll
