Let Not the Beast Trump

Sometimes, I just don't know where Trump is coming from. Where his views came from and why does he think the rest of the world is out to get America. Instead of helping people understand, love and protect each other, his mission is to destroy every fabric of cultural tolerance and understanding in humankind. 

It challenges my belief system, it makes me wonder if I was right to be loving instead of hating, makes me think that I am looking Evil right in the eye...in the form of a picture or through the lens of a camera. 

But if it is an indication, it shows that the world still needs much help. That there is a large number of people, not just in the United States, but all around the world, that chooses hate over love. Our work on this planet is being undone by a man who views the world, his allies, as potential threat and enemy. His rhetoric is almost unbelievable when you listen to him talk or have a quick look at his Twitter account. 

It makes Christians wonder why God had placed such a man on earth or in the White House, and Buddhist think that meditation, perhaps, may not do much to help disenchanted people. 

Or maybe it is our chance to see WHY these people chose him. There MUST be a reason. I always try to see two sides of the fence before picking one and I've tried to see his side. And I feel like I have always picked one, instead. There are too many reasons to distance myself from people like Trump, although I am possibly working with people who think like him, and they call it patriotism. 

It is not wrong to be patriotic but it is wrong to say you want to destroy people. That's bullying and things that the mafia and thugs would do. And aren't we over that era yet? Or is he trying to bring back the Mafia days? I just don't know. It dwindles down on my belief that there are more good people out there than bad ones. 

But to feel that way only indicates that we have lost...and we don't want people like Trump to feel like they're triumph. If they were cocky before, imagine after they feel like they've won the war. Just imagine. I hope the world will return to as much normalcy as possible after this beast is removed from the White House. I can't, personally, wait for it to happen, if not for peace-loving Americans, then for human beings all around the world.

R.I.P. to Another Shining Star : Kim Jonghyun

Generally speaking, I DO listen to a little bit of Kpop, not always, but when I do, I am almost always enraptured by the countless melodic compositions and ballads. My favorite Korean singer, to this very day, remains to be Sung Si Kyung and Shinhwa. I've also listened to TVXQ, Super Junior, ZE;A and many others. I sometimes search up Girls Generation because I like how the girls' long limbs are almost always so coordinated, they look like clockwork. But that was maybe the problem...the clockwork. Kim Jonghyun, a member of Shinee, took his own life this week, days shy of Christmas and a brand new year. It tears at my heart a little, the same way it did when I found out Chester Bennington ended his own. Shining stars on our planet, blessed with emotional breath so deep that their emotions would often seep out of their skins and spread across the sea of tens of thousands of fans during their concerts and live performances. Even without being in their presence, their songs a...

Never Thought I's Say This But...

...for the sheer number of years that I've spent with my head clouded with hangovers, I really never thought I'd say that I hate the feeling. Finally opened the bottle of white wine my former neighbor gave me before we left the old home and had it while watching a show. It was a nice feeling. But I hated the feeling the next day. The anxiety. The shakiness. The uncertainty. The headache. The inability to string my thoughts together. There were moments when I sat down with my eyes closed, wondering to myself how I did this before. Not for years, but for more than a decade. For more than 10 years, I often woke up with a clouded head. It's coming to 2 years since I've decided to turn the tables around. There are days when I still drink with friends, myself and with neighbors. I would, however, say that it has become more of a social obligation than anything else. I enjoy the short few hours of bravado and excitement and then wake up the next day with my head splitt...

Be Yourself, everyone else is already taken – Oscar Wilde

Of all the quotes that I go through on a daily basis, I think this one struck too close to the heart.  I think the 'trying to be someone else' syndrome is more common amongst girls and ladies than boys or men. That is because society and the media feeds girls with the image of how we should be, how slim we should persevere to be, the type of love we should expect from our other half, the kind of kids we should have, the kind of life we should expect when we love those around us....etc. In today's society, it's even more worrying and suffice to say that I have become thankful that I do not have daughters. If I did, I would have to spend considerable time and effort to assure them that not everyone have to be like the Olsen twins and that Paris Hilton does NOT have a perfect life. And no, you should not turn yourself into one of the Kardashians to be popular amongst your friends. I think of all the things that I wished my parents taught me as I was growing up is this...
