Rescue Me

-
Completed 13 Reasons Why and then started to read Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick wasn't a good idea.

Now, I am in a way down low kind of feeling.

Add the fact that it's my lolo's 2nd death anniversary today.
Take me out of this darkness. Hug me tight and tell me that everything will be alright.

    That show and the book it was based on is just one trigger after another. When I feel that way, I just watch sad Thai commercials on YouTube until the heaviness is out of my system.

    I'm sorry about your grandfather. Hope you start to feel better.

      coz they're really good at making commercials that make u cry a river. a 10-minute video packs quite a punch

    I haven't personally watched the show, but I have a lot of students who have. It has become a joke in the classroom; whenever someone says something mean to someone else, they respond, "I am going to add that to my reasons."

    It seems to me however, that a show that glorifies suicide is reckless and irresponsible. I was listening to a podcast not too long ago where they mentioned that in the past, whenever a popular novel or song comes out that seems to paint suicide in a positive, self righteous way, there is an actual spike in recorded suicides around that same time period. I hate to think about how many teens or even older people who are already suicidal are watching that program and being pushed over the edge.

    After typing this, found this article linking suicide in popular culture to actual suicides: http://www.columbia.edu/itc/hs/medical/bioethics/nyspi/material/MediaContagionAndSuicide.pdf

      I saw this on Facebook (which depending on where you lean could mean it's true or completely made up) that the creators of the show met with suicide experts so they can handle the matter delicately and not cause a spike in more cases. In the end, they did the complete opposite. :O what the hell right?

    Remember your Lolo when he was in his happiest and I think that's best way to remember him. That's what I do when my grandparents' (on both sides) death anniversary arrive.

    I have not read those books. I'll check them out at the library when i get the chance.

      It's a YA book about a teenager plannin to commit suicide. I had to stop reading it for the time being coz of what I had been feeling while reading it. Hahaha. But seriously I had to stop myself. I was still reading a few pages until my tablet died on me.

    Minsan yang ang downside kapag malayo ka sa family mo. Iba pa din kasi ang comfort nga family iba din ang sa friend

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

-
Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....
