I don't smoke cigarettes even now. First of all, its an expensive addiction., and you will save tons of money if you don't smoke. There are physical benefits as well if you don't smoke. Your family would be healthy and won't be affected by second-hand smoking and live improve quality life. Some social benefits are when you walk to restaurants and need not worry to go outside and smoke between courses, and you don't have to worry if your date gets annoyed of smoking or not.

Blog assignment # 18

The Walking Dead is the best show I have ever seen. The show is about humans trying to survive in a world full of flesh-eating "walkers" after a zombie apocalypse. Watching this show kinda helps me conquer my fear of horror movies and zombies, and my nightmares won't matter to me anymore because I think of it as if I'm in the show. My family watch it with me as well, so every scare scene won't be a big deal to me. One thing I admire about this show is how everyone acts, they play their role so well and it makes the show more intense, thrilling, more exciting even going to the restroom would be a delay.

On the night of November 1, 1999, my friends and I decided to take a trip at the cemetery which is 5 blocks away from our hood, and spend the night hunting ghost, dead guys, and whatnot.

Assignment # 13 Online Scams and Schemes

I haven't experienced any type of scams ever that's because I avoid it all the time. There are many hackers, con artist, scammers who are taking advantage of the Information Age and they will never stop. Everyday they victimize countless people, everyday someone else's life gets screwed and no ones doing anything about it. The best thing to do is to avoid these kinds of dilemma. Don't trust any websites whatsoever if you doubt its legitimacy, never post any of your financial information like credit card numbers, social security, etc. no matter how tempting otherwise suffer the years of your stupidity's ramifications. I tried taking those online quizzes before and at the end of every quiz what they do is ask some personal questions and if you don't answer it you won't have the permission to take the next one. So right away I sense something bad, and so I just stopped. So should you! Everyone!

Assignment # 10 Happiest place on Earth

My happiest place on Earth is at home. On the roof. In midnight, where I look at the stars and see how they shine for me. The priceless beauty of it all makes me wonder how beautiful the creator of the heavens, if they only exist. Shooting stars passing by like a you see in the movie scene, airplanes silently passes by, and sometimes you see geese migrating from one country to another. When midnight strikes, I grabbed my six string and start to play a melody. And words come along, and make a song out of it. Then I smile, and my whole world just stops. And I hear this profound silence, its like I hear the voice of God. And it is the best feeling you can ever have in a lifetime.

If I was stranded in an island, or anywhere I go, a knife is a good thing to have. You can defend yourself to anyone, you can kill any creatures you see, make a boat out of it, open coconuts if there's any.

I'd bring a piano with me and compose songs. The serenity of the ocean, the sound of the waves, the wind that blows like voices; you never know when inspiration might strike.

I can never live without a paper and pen. Writing is a habit of mine, write down words when knowledge strikes: its the only memory I can leave to this world.

Assignment #3 Expertise

Everyone of us is unique and know something that most people don't. Me, I know a lot about tennis. I grew up playing with my parents every morning and never stopped playing until now. If you don't anything about tennis, it wouldn't hurt if you try.

I play tennis because I believe its a healthy daily exercise. But for the most part, tennis makes me smart. It helps a part of my brain called cerebrum to develop more and more everyday. It teaches me to control my muscles and smash the ball low or high, soft or with force. And the more you play it, the more you get good at it and next thing you know, youre pro.

Assignment # 1 My Last Summer

I don't know how to describe how my summer went last June. To whoever who might read this, I'll let you decide.

Last school year I stopped for a year and I went travelling. I went to most parts of East Asia namely India, China, and the Philippines. For nine months or so, I toured all over the world seeking for enlightenment, inner peace, and live this world from the perspective of my heart.

When I arrived in India, I visited my old buddy's house. We had libation moments gladly because it was legal to drink and lit a few cigars as we poured along. We had laughter and conversations we never did for a very long time. By the morning, we did a little charity on the street. Gladly offered free food with a little money to old women that are starving and half-dead men playing banjos calling Buddha to end their suffering.

I toured in India for pleasure but I never found it. The people I met, the homeless children on the street, the river filled with human trash crushed my soul and killed my existence. If I could just carry the world over my shoulders, if I could just wave my wand and diminish each and every suffering that exist, but sadly, how can I ? how can we? On the way home, inside my car I cried. Cursing the gods, "why them?" Why not me ? What have I done to deserve freedom, education, friends, and money?  In America we throw away food, televisions, phones and talk crap out of each other while a father, a mother, a child in the streets of Mumbai can't eat anything, never had a minute to sit and watch television his whole life, and got no friends to talk over the phone.I lived in this world for eighteen years and its the very first time I had an epiphany so great and deep that scarred me for the rest of my life.

A week after, I hopped on a plane bound to the Philippines, my hometown. Born and raised as a filipino, yet both my parents never speaks the national language and passed down the belief to me and my older sister that English is the language of success. Growing up being fed respect for academics and the pursuit of higher education was a treason against my heart, my beliefs, and my unparalleled life path. Arriving home again brings back memories that I never can erase, although I tried. My childhood friends never seem to changed, the public highway across our house that use to be my playground  is still full of dust and traffic and polluted with noise. Everyday, I wake up and the first thing I do is to look in the window with a sigh. Everything I see hurt me and if only there's no such thing as human necessity, I'd give my all.

Learning a lot by staying in the Philippines for months,  I still crave for satisfaction. Packed toiletries, clothing, and set my financial resources, and by sunrise my journey began again. China! The place you don't want to miss. Chinese gives you respect, love, and hospitality you can never imagine. They can make you wish to be a Chinese yourself. For short amount of time, I still managed to study religion. The topic that everyone close to my heart always fight over. The monks I met talks deep, kept my gears running like solving a puzzle that takes one minute before you get it. Lectures about happiness, love, inner peace, wisdom and knowledge sounded like music to my ears. They comforted me with words, they inspired me by gaze, they loved and cared for me without a sound.

A stranger taught me a fable that I will never forget. A story about the dog and the water dog. A poor hungry dog traveled far in quest of a meat for his supper and obtained a very fine shoulder of mutton. Happy and on his way home, he passed on a bridged casting an eye beneath and found another dog with the other half of the shoulder of the mutton. He made a sudden spring and snatch at the new temptation; in doing so which he slipped of the bridge, found no dog in the water but himself, and lost his meat at the same time in the passing stream. The fable goes like this : So those who plan dishonest gains, Oft have their labor for their pains, and go, like him whom you've read, greedy yet supper-less to bed.

In life, we seek for a connection. Either a stranger passing by, a lover, a friend. The moment you find that connection, you feel again. I wept and torn myself on my way to California, but when I saw the whole picture, that connection put me back together so easily.

I can't find the right words to describe my last summer, but I guarantee you, it was life-affirming.
