You listen to me.

I rarely take offense for what you say and do but sometimes you'll have to watch yourself.

I don't appreciate being talked to as if I'm some shitty beggar; i see you treat them better at times.

Sometimes, it's just too much.

25 random things... ^^_

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I write poems and short stories to collect my thoughts. I don't usually show them to people though. They're like my personal archives.

2. I like early sci-fi (e.g. "They Shall Have Stars" and "Earthman Come Home " by James Blush) and various other novels an short stories.

3. I got kicked out of AdMU after my second year. I thought life would suck after that, but I guess I'm happier now.

4. I'm trying to learn Bikolnon Philosophy. I got interested in it after seeing the way it views things and I'm using it as a foundation to my own.

5. I don't like big bodies of water. There's a chance I might suddenly panic when I'm in one. I can swim though. I think it has something to do with a jellyfish incident back when i was a kid.

6. I like green. Seriously. Asking me if I do should not even count as a valid proposition.

7. I tend to describe people using "auras". Some people like it, some people don't. I think i started doing this in high school. Probably compensation since i'm bad at describing people physically.

8. I usually sleep around 1-2am. I usually use the post midnight period to sort of meditate and think about stuff. Apparently, I can't sleep witha  confused head.

9. I'm interested in Asian Languages. I'm currently studying Japanese and starting to feel Thai a bit.

10. I have very weird fetishes, usually defined by a theme. Abstaining for now though.

11. I used to collect gemstones, semi-precious rocks, gundams and dinosaur models when i was a kid. Most of them are gone now though. My old "toy room" has been... eliminated.

12. When I was taking arnis PE, i actually disliked it (i dunno why i even chose it in the first place) but i guess now it's one of the central activities in my life. 

13. I'm a bigtime Starcraft addict and i usually only play blizzard games unless i really find a game awesome (e.g. Sins of a Solar Empire).

14. I don't like cats, but I have a horde of them following me in the dorm. They like me for some reason.

15. I play with my ballpen or the end of my shirt when i'm really nervous.

16. I advocate the use of proper Philippine english and native philosophies. I think they're better suited to us and we shouldn't be ashamed of them.

17. I'm a mild sado-masochist.

18. I read and reread novels over and over again. People have pointed that out to me but I find that reading something again when you're in a different situation can give you surprising insights.

19. I have  very limited taste in music and I will not download individual songs. I only get things from the net when they're packaged into an album or discography. I don't like a messy set.

20. Past experiences have led me into being emotionally limited internally and the opposite externally.

21. I'm not a talented guy, I admit that, but I usually solve things through perseverance and conviction.

22. I used to have orange brown hair.

23. I can't seem to stay angry for long no matter what's been done to me. At most i can have a sustained kill-focus perspective on you.

24. I used to play futsal and i still play badminton. Maybe I'll do them again this summer. I find that they help my cardio (i hav every weak cardio).

25. I tend to perform better at things when i face stronger competition. It's weird, but i guess that activates things within me.

The Observer (the Five)

Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.

How to Get Along with Me

• Be independent, not clingy.
• Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
• I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
• Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
• Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
• If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
• don't come on like a bulldozer.
• Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

What I Like About Being a Five

• standing back and viewing life objectively
• coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
• my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
• not being caught up in material possessions and status
• being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a Five

• being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
• feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
• being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
• watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

Fives as Children Often

• spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
• have a few special friends rather than many
• are very bright and curious and do well in school
• have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
• watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
• assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
• are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
• feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

Fives as Parents

• are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
• are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
• may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
• may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

insights on something.

dimmest light,

shining brightly even

through the darkest night.

terrible beauty,

revealing true fears and 

leading through the shadows.

light as bright as

darkness is dark.

brightest light,

blinding fiercely even

during the day's height.

thrilling liberty,

to reach for the false end

of unending rainbows.  

light as bright as

darkness is dark.

lies hurt less when you're the one saying them.

really really pissed off.

i hope i misunderstood.

Suggestions?

It's philo week next week and i want to attend three talks. Thing is, i don't think i can actually go to all of them so I wonder which ones sound good to you? (Just IM me or put it here, whatever.)

1. Phenomenology of Destiny

2. Filipinization: the Myth of the Philippine Nation

3. Language and the Social Environment
