opinions…i have nothing more to say

     An opinion is neither right nor wrong. It could be used in both negative or positive natures, it just comes down to how one says it. The perception, however, is objective. That is when it can make or break your mood and it is also when your audience stands up to applaud for you or decide to attack you with a sledgehammer and beat you to death. Everyone has a right to an opinion.

     I learned a tough lesson today. The harshest opinion you can ever hear is not from your enemies or the people who slap horns on your head. Indeed, it is from the people nearest to you and know you the most. They are the people who have the most potential to hit your hidden bull’s-eye (still think it’s so well hidden eh? =)) The sad thing about it is the fact that you’re still reeling from the blow, they launch another attack on you, then you can’t react anymore.

     Reality’s harsh and you can’t always win ‘em all with your award winning sunny smile. The smartest move to make is acceptance, then just let it slide, forget about it and move on. If it isn’t pathetically obvious yet, i have just been the target of someone’s (respected still) opinion. 

So what does this smart-ass little weedy-pie do?

‘Sright folks, accept and forget.  I also contemplated on that opinion and made my own!!! HA!!! SYKES!!!

Reality TV: The Pleasurable Form of Brain Zapping.

     Have you ever tried to watch reality tv shows?  Coz if you haven’t you might as well call yourself a hypocrite. I myself, watch this show on MTV called Laguna Beach wherein the cast is a bunch of effing high-privileged California kids dealing and wrapped up in their own personal drama to care and to boot. But honestly though, it gives for a good study about human behavior…those who deem to disagree, i do not mind their opinions for it is theirs. (",) I don’t really give a ess anymore…pffft…

   No offense but i’ve known quite a lot of people to be hooked up to this fad called "Pinoy Big Brother". Not that i have anything against the show or anything, but honestly, what does it show us? A bunch of people stuck inside a house with weekly assignments claiming that this is what happens to "real people"? Slogan itself is kinda shady…"Ang teleserye ng totoong buhay" YEAH RIGHT!!! If they want the real teleserye ng buhay, why don’t they get them camera crews and have them man the impoverished areas around the metro eh? Let ‘em see how the "real people" cope in the "real world" with the daunting assignment to just survive for everyday of their lives. You don’t see them constantly complaining while all they have is a carboard box to shelter their very heads and some scraps left over for them to eat?

     Unlike the ones in tv where they are in this house with sweet accomodations providing for their whims and they even have a pool…and they call themselves "stuck"? And they still give raps about how hard it is to deal inside the house? JEEZ… It blinds the society more about what really happens to them and what they should be more concerned about. It’s like, by watching this, people just get deeper in their different phases of denial.

  Yes, TV is just an outlet, a distraction, a deviation from your everyday activities for you to be able to relax and take your mind off of stuff, but it influences us in a way we can’t even begin to realize, in a lot of ways too. I can’t blame people for watching these kinds of shows, hell, i know i effing do! (just not THAT, though)  but please, maybe we can all try a little avoidance of too much comparison of their lives and ours and raise the fact that we have very different lives from these characters we see from tv and the circumstances we may face may not always arise the same way as theirs…
