Wondering why I still wake up in the middle of midnight like this? Me too! I fell like I get the surge of energy wuuwuwu perhaps it's because of the nappy that I took before. Well, since I'm still awake and haven't felt sleepy yet, why don't I post sth here? Ikr I'm a genius.
Let's start it.
This is a story about me being a foolish back then.
Idk what was into me but I suddenly took my BlackBerry this morning and charged it. After it was fully charged, I clicked the BBM icon and scrolled thru names there and opened the history chat one by one. I also clicked the message icon and did the same thing as well. Then I realized sth.
I realized how mean I was (or am).
I mean I pushed the people that probably loved and cared about me away and I just waited for the one who had hurt me to come back. Ikr such a fool!
Now I feel so bad about them. I do really want to apologize for being a diva alike, but Idk how huhu
However, indeed reading old conversations could bring the smile, the tears, and the anger again. It works just like a time machine.Too bad that "time machine" cannot be used to change the past.
well well well, look who regrets everything now? yeay me!

Chocolate and Happiness
Chocolate and Happiness
Let
us forget the famous proverb “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” How if we
make the new one? “A bite of chocolate a day keeps the wrinkle away.” We
definitely need that new proverb. Since a long time ago, chocolate has been
related to bring happiness for those who eat it. When people feel so sad, what
do they eat? Chocolate! What do they feel after they grab and then eat
chocolate? Happy, is not it?
Actually, this phenomenon can be proven
scientifically. Due to some researches done by professionals, chocolate is
proven containing phenethylamine that
can trigger endorphin to be released. Endorphin itself is the hormone produced
by our body when we feel happy. With the help of endorphin, we can feel much
more relax and also control our emotion better. Researchers also said that the
reaction produced after eating chocolate is the same with the feeling we get
when we are in love. Besides that, in 1996 researchers found that chocolate
also contains anandamide that can activate
brain receptor just like weed does. No wonder whenever we eat chocolate, we get
our mood back instantly. However, the chocolates distributed in markets nowadays
contain less chocolate and more sugar which makes the benefits cannot really be
felt. Moreover in America, milk chocolates contain only 10 percents of liquor
chocolate where it should be 30 percents.
Despite the
scientific facts about chocolate and its relation with happiness above, the
other reason why it can bring happiness to people because most of the time, we
are happy after eating chocolate because of the person who gives it to us not
because of the chocolate itself. Mostly it is given by the ones that care and
love us, for example our crush, as a symbol to show love. This makes us happy
because we feel like we are special and adored. However it is just my silly
assumption according to what I have ever felt.
Celebrities with Anxiety Disorders
Celebrities with Anxiety Disorders
Try to type on Google “celebrities with anxiety disorder”
then tell me what you feel after reading some articles given there. Mind
blowing, is not it? Celebrities from Barbra Streisand to Emma Stone are listed
to have various kind of anxiety disorders. Indeed it is really shocking to know
the fact that rich and famous celebrities and other well-known people like them
are struggling so much to deal with their anxiety. We always think that their
lifes are amazingly flawless with fame, money, and luxuries arround them. With
things like that, we assume that they can get anything they want easily.
However do you know that Angelina Jolie suffers from a
great self-insecurity? She
never feels satisfied with herself and what she has achieved. She keeps saying
that she is not pretty enough, she has not been a good actress until now, and
she has not given real contribution to society. In fact, she has accomplished
all of the things above. Rumor said that it is because of the tight competition
in Hollywood which makes her to be like that. Also do you know that David
Beckham, the very famous and highly respected English footballer, has sort of
OCD to insist on things have to be in even numbers? When he finds out that
things that he has are not in order that he wants, he will throw or add things to
make sure that they are in even numbers. By the way, who knows that Hugh Laurie
actually suffered from a mild depression while filming “House”? It went the
same too to Heath Ledger who could not detach from his role as Joker in “The
Dark Knight” the second film in Christopher
Nolan's Batman trilogy.
It made him suffered from several depressions before he decided to commit
suicide due to alcohol and drug reason. They are just a few examples of
celebrities who deal with anxiety.
However, quoted from calmclinic.com, there is something we can learn from those
celebrities. They are not shamed to tell their “problems” to others so that
they can seek for help to control their anxiety disorders. People with anxiety
sometimes get shamed, become introvert, and refuse to tell their problems to
their close ones or to the experts. It could be dangerous because even a light
depression can lead you to do stupid thing, such as committing suicide.
Taking Chance
Taking Chance
Who says that movie should
have conflict in it? Taking chance will show you how a simple and flat movie
could bring you into tears. This movie tells a story of a marine named Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl who escorted the body of marine
name PFC Chance Phelps that died in the Iraq war. This movie starred by Kevin
Beacon, the one who has played in many outstanding movies, such as a few good man, x-man, footloose, and
many more. This movie was premiered on HBO on February 21st, 2009 after it was
selected to be shown at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
It tells a story of Colonel Strobl, a behind the
desk-type of marine that never participated in any wars. One day, he took an offer
to escort the dead body of PFC Chance Phelps to his hometown. He said yes to
that offer because PFC Phelps came from the same hometown as he did while in
fact he did it because he felt guilty to see many marines who died in wars
while he was living in comfortable life with his family. After he discussed
this offer with his wife, he then went to Dover Port Mortuary to get some
instructions before doing his duty. One of the most important instructions was
that he had to bring PFC Phelps’ personal stuffs with him no matter what. Off
he went to the airport to escort Phelps’ body. Along with the road, Americans
gave many salutes to the fallen marine, PFC Chance Phelps, in many ways. For
example, a flight attendant gave Colonel Strobl a crucifix, later on he
realized that it was not meant for him, it was given by her to honor Phelps.
These small yet touching scenes are the reasons why viewers get so emotionally
attached with this movie.
Through this movie, we are shown how Americans do
really salute their heroes no matter who they were. It is really touching to
see another side of Americans that we have never seen before. Most of the time
we are only shown how individualistic Americans are, how apathetic they are,
and how careless they are to their surrounding, but this movie does the
opposite of it. We can see soft-hearted Americans who united together as a
nation to grieve the fallen body of PFC Phelps, even they did not know him
personally, but they knew that this guy had made USA proud.
