The Christmas Series: The One

Christmas
Have you ever noticed that when you look too hard for something, you don't seem to get any closer to finding it? But when you relax, you'll find it in the place it was supposed to be in? I guess that's the same with looking for your "the one". They'll just appear in the right place at the right time.



They'll come when you least expect it. You might find them at a parking lot or an antique shop. It could happen when your  8, 18, or even 80. The one could be anywhere anytime.  "the one" isn't like a fairytale where everything will just fit perfectly like a glove. There will be challenges but it doesn't mean it won't be magical too. 

The Christmas Series: Number Two

2 days to go til Christmas


Before you get any ideas, no I am not talking about poop.

Well of course, I'd be lying if I say I didn't get the idea of writing about poop for today's thanksgiving. Imagine paragraphs and paragraphs about the mechanics of pooping and how it has contributed to everyday life and society in ways unimaginable. Man, I could go on about it forever. Tempting. Almost wrote about it, but no.

There are a lot of more important things to talk about, say, pizza

But no, I'm not talking about pizza either, since it has nothing to do with the number two (which isn't poop, I repeat, NOT POOP). As much as I love pizza and could write about it for as long as I live, I can't. Tempting, but no. 

(Interested about pizza? Read what my friend Beryl has to say about it in thanksgiving #4 http://geekychiquitas.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-christmas-series-my-4-kinds-of-love.html?m=1)

So what's today's thanksgiving then, you ask?

Well let's try something cheesier than pizza today.

Peace.



But come on, you know me, I don't really like corny mushy stuff and I'm not going to talk about how I'm thankful for world peace and love and friendship makes the world a better place with butterflies and rainbows in the sky. Ech. Let me just throw up for a second.

No, not my thing, sorry.

Instead, I'd like to talk about how I'm thankful about peace in a different and more interesting way (hopefully) 

Let's start with a little trivia. Did you know that somewhere sometime in the 1900s, the peace symbol was first used during World War II as a symbol of victory? The Allied powers mostly used this v symbol to express their happiness after winning the war. It's become such a powerful symbol during that time; it also became a symbol that unified them as allies.

I find it quite funny and ironic how this sign used to be a celebration of the winning in a war, whereas today it has become a symbol of friendship and peace. A symbol that not just discourages war, but condemns it. So there will be no war victories here, since war is pretty much wrong in so many levels when peace is ever present in the world. There will just be a victory for peace in humanity.


I'm really thankful of the peace symbol. 

I'm thankful that the word peace is symbolically portrayed through the gesture of the index finger and middle finger raised together and parted while the other fingers are clenched, like doing the letter V sign or number 2. 

I love how the symbol is used by people today as a pose during pictures. I love seeing people take selfies with their two fingers up in the air. I know some people think that this is very jeje (), but I love seeing people with friends and families interacting everyday through this symbol.

What once was a symbol of victory in a war is now a universal symbol that means peace. Isn't that awesome? How you could just raise two fingers in the air to anyone in the world as you smile with your teeth out, without worrying if it could be negatively interpreted because everyone in the world knows what you mean. It's a very powerful symbol that connects people all over the world, and I think that without the peace symbol, wacky photos just wouldn't be the same, don't you agree?

So being the peace loving person I am, I will never be hesitant or afraid to be judged in using the peace sign. It has become a part of our culture and natural human behavior so shouldn't we be proud and embrace it? 



Oh and before I end, I think it's time to mention the hippies who made the peace symbol very popular that losers like us copied them and made it mainstream. 

You rock guys.



(I guess I did become cheesy there but come on..... I'm talking about peace and it's Christmas, bitches! Can't help to be even a little mushier than usual)

Share the peace everyone, especially this Christmas season! :)

Make peace not war yo! ✌

The Christmas Series: 3 is The Magic Number

Christmas
   Have you ever noticed that in books and movies, the number three seems to pop up all the time? I don't know why and I won't even try to find out. Try to think of all the books you've read and all the movies you've watched. The number three will always be there. For example, the Harry Potter Series there are three main characters: Harry, Hermione, and Ron. There are the three powerful objects: the Elder Wand, the stone that can bring the dead back to life, and the Invisibility Cloak. In Greek mythology, the number three seems to be everpresent. The Three Fates, The Three Furies, The Big Three, The Three-headed dog whose name, if I'm not mistaken, is Cerberus. Even in the Percy Jackson Series, only three people normally go on quests.
   
   If you're not yet convinced, here's more:
   The Three Musketeers:
   The Three Little Pigs:



   Goldilocks and The Three Bears:
   The Three Stooges:
The Three Blind Mice:
   The Three Wise Men:

There is also a saying:

Now, I do hope that I have enough examples for you to see the significance of the number three in books and movies.

I am thankful for the number three itself because without it, we would miss out on a lot of amazing books and movies. Of course, the number three isn't found in just books and movies but also in places like The Three Sisters in Australia.

   I cannot even begin to imagine what it would be like if there were Five Musketeers or six main characters in the Harry Potter Series. I think that three is just right, especially in adventure books, two would suggest a romantic theme, one could turn boring, four and above would be too many and might become confusing, but three is just right, at least, in my opinion.

The Christmas Series: My 4 Kinds of Love for 4 Cheese Pizza

4 days to go

If you don't love pizza, then we can't be friends.

Seriously. 

(Haha!)

My love for pizza is definitely indescribable. I love pizza so much that I can eat it everyday in every meal. I can eat pizza like there's no tomorrow. Pizza is like the love of my life. 

Speaking of love, I can even compare my love for pizza with the four kinds of love.

The Christmas Series: My Love for Food and the 5 Second Rule

5 second rule


Oh wait, what's that? You've never heard of the 5 second rule???

Gasp.

Well, there's no other way to explain the 5 second rule aside from painting a hypothetical scenario which I'm sure everyone has done, despite not knowing what the 5 second rule even is.

Because I know you all do it. *snickers*

Okay, so take a 5 second moment (see what I did there lol) right there to indulge yourself into the thoughts of your favorite food. It could be anything from spaghetti to macaroni to pizza to chicken to chips or fries. For me it will always be fries. 


Then imagine a plate full of that heaven sent food miraculously appearing in front of you. You lean in, sniff the appetizing oh-so-glorious smell in the air (it's close to the smell of victory), see the hot oily greasy temptation sensation beautiful obra maestra sitting in front of you, and now you feel your mouth water. Your hand shoots straight to the plate about to take a piece, and you're almost there, the piece of fries is about to make its first contact with your quivering mouth, when BAM! It slips right out of your lazy fingertips and falls to the floor.

You look left and right, up and down, as if checking if anyone is watching. And before you count to 5, you quickly pick it up and eat it.

Guilty?

Or proud?

Here's a little secret. (Well not a secret anymore obv)

The Christmas Series: The Six Basic Expressions

6 basic expressions
The six basic expressions are:
1. Happiness


2. Sadness


3. Surprise

4. Fear
5. Disgust

6. Anger


It's kinda obvious why I am thankful for these six basic emotions but I'm gonna explain anyway. These emotions are used everyday by everyone, and I know that there are a lot of other emotions, but I believe that these are the most well-known out of them all. Without these emotions, we would become infinitely robot-like and I'm pretty sure we don't need that (well most of us). 


These emotions are the root for a lot of other emotions and if we didn't have these emotions, would there be any other emotions? These emotions are all linked to one another, even the opposing emotions like happiness and sadness. To truly appreciate happiness, we must first feel the greatest sadness that we have known, and to truly understand sadness we need to feel the greatest happiness in this world. Anger leads to happiness and relief when all that anger has gone away.



I don't want to live in a world without these emotions. They are the reasons why we aren't machines (aside from being made of flesh and blood) and I hope that we can all learn to appreciate these emotions even the negative ones.

-AUDS :) :( :O

The Christmas Series: 8am classes, please love me

8am classes

Because really, who loves 8am classes?

Nobody, right? So for this blog post I just wanna list down all the reasons (and now you'll know this will be fast because really how many reasons could there be? Lol I'm kidding but yes this will be short I promise and now I'm rambling again sorry) why I am thankful for 8am classes.

I Just realized recently that I haven't had any 8am classes since last school year, term 3. While there are no complaints in my department whatsoever with regards to my no-8am-classes schedule for the past two terms, I'd like to somehow maybe justify that 8am classes could be a good thing too.

Shocker huh? 

But jokes aside (was there a joke??? Ha-ha. Not funny...) 8am classes have done a lot of good to me too.

And it's only now that I haven't had an 8am class in a long time that I realize how much 8am classes have changed my life for the better (to some extent).

Absence makes the heart grow fonder they say. 
Ha. Ha. Ha. Really.
