This TV show just perfected the afterlife

I finally know the answer to the question that has been asked since the dawn of man or at least since Greek philosophers have been making people think about stuff. ("Plato", f**king nerd). The question in question is: "What happens when we die?". The answer is: It's on Netflix in the form of a series called: "The Good Place". For those who don't know, 'The Good Place' is a hit American comedy-fantasy series created by Michael Schur, It aired between 2018 to 2020 on NBC. (⚠️SPOILER WARING⚠️: For those who haven't watched 'The Good Place') The show revolves around 4 humans who've died and went onto the "Good Place" or so they think, they soon find out that they're actually in the "Bad Place" and they've actually been partnered together by a demon in a perfectly designed experimental 'hell' so that they can torture and make each other miserable for eternity. But to th...

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

Image
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...
