      When that I was and little tiny boy

        With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

      A foolish thing was but a toy,

         For the rain it raineth every day.

     But when I came to man's estate,

        With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

     'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate,

        For the rain it raineth every day.

     But when I came, alas, to wive,

        With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

     By swaggering could I never thrive,

        For the rain it raineth every day.

     But when I came unto my beds,

        With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

     With tosspots still had drunken heads,

        For the rain it reaineth every day.

     A great while ago the world begun,

        [With] hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

     But that's all one, our play is done,

        And we'll strive to please you every day.

Being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn't force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. It does come. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast. I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything!

So, dear sir, Ican't give you any advice but this: to go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows; at its source you will find the answer to the question of wether you must create.

     "Yes, but the theater of the Baroque period was more than an art from. It was the most commonly employed symbol of the time."

     "A symbol of what?"

     "Of life, Sophie. I don't know  how many time during the seventeenth century it was said that 'Life is a theater.'..."

In this world, artists are joyous. Unpredictablility is the life of their paintings, their music, their novels. They delight in events not forecasted, happenings without explanation, retrospective.

Art Inspires everything around us. It inspires the writer to write their inner most thinking, writing the unthinkable, the impressive, the future and the past. From that, it inspires other people too. Engineers use the inspiration of art to make breath-taking buildings of the future. Musicians use inspiration to make love songs, rock, and other genres that may inspire other people. Even the cavemen use the art of nature to draw beautiful painting with their tools with spectacular disbelief. It’s the inspiration that help art and our future to be brighter.

Art evolves in various ways, taking one idea to another and to even greater heights. Back to the original writers of this harmonious poetries and scholastic painters, most of them wishes if their very piece can be seen further to the future, which they were. The evolution of art is one of the things that really make the very first people to be recognized today and maybe further to the future.

 Art is life. It is one of the very meanings of life, our existence. It is art that makes us, for the artistic way of nature shaped us to fit in this very society and makes us more beautiful and brighter as we were before. The art of life is beautiful, but most of us take it for granted, a shameful truth that stabs the heart of the heart of many. We only have a hundred year, maybe, in this world, but I am glad I turned out to be one of the people who stop and appreciate what we have and loving it day after day.

An Inconvinient truth: Red Blue and Yellow

Life is Colorful

Ever since I was a kid, a kindergarten I suppose, the teachers around me taught me that the three primary color of, well, colors were Red, Blue, and, Yellow. I grew up knowing that. It really makes sense though that If you add Yellow and Blue you will get Green; Yellow and Red will get Orange; Red and Blue will get Violet. Everything were all good until we learned about Lights and Pigments in Physics.

Now I am no Artist but I believe deep inside my heart that RYB are the three primary colors I tell you what. Because of that assumption I had a little argument with my Physics teacher, and in that day I had learned something that changed my point of view. She said that Red, Blue, and Yellow WERE the primary colors, then I was like"huh?". She said that Scientifically, Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan are the real color pigments combination. I was like NO FREAKING WAY! I did not ask more for the Internet would provide. I checked it out in Google and found out that it was Isaac Newton who was the guy who first invented the color wheel chart. I found out that "Newton published a color wheel to show the geometric relationship between these primaries" (Wikipedia) but Newton was "unaware of the differences between additive and subtractive color mixing"(Wikipedia), so his kind of wrong.

Then I learned more, Light has another primary color too! She taught us that the three primary colors of light were  Red, Green, and Blue. Because of that, I was like "OH! that's is why when I check out the contrast in the TV it says RED BLUE and GREEN!". Further more, I learned that the presence of all light is White and the absence of lights is Black for I thought once that they were in their own colors. Also, we can combine the Primary Light colors to Primary Pigments! WOAH!! FREAKING AWESOME!! I don't know why I get excited with colors but just wow. Let me give you a couple of example. Magenta (Blue and Red) light is combined with Yellow (Red and Green) pigment gives Red for Yellow pigment absorbs Blue and there is no Green. Magenta (Blue and Red) light is combined with Cyan (Blue and Green) pigment gives Blue for Cyan pigment absorbs Red and there is no Blue.

Physics is Fun. Yes, the calculation part is as hard as HELL and the Labs are as enjoyable as HEAVEN. This Senior year I am taking Chem and Physics cause I came in this school late forcing me to take Bio in Junior year. Well I don't have to take Physics though but I want to feel the feeling what a Physics student can feel, and it was a great run. Do I have regrets for the ups and downs in Physics? No, having a great teacher, awesome class, and awesome Labs is like living in a moment. I only have a few days left but I have the feeling that the Primary Colors of my life is just getting started.

Joe's Blog

Even though that was short (as if you were trying) connecting the dots is one of the thing about the class that has given me or us a big impact toward the advancement of our human brain along with the others such as adjacent possible, TED, challenging the status quo, big claims, and more. All of the things that we have learn in this class has really changed me and probably you. Our perception around the things around us has now increased in such a level that it would have made our ancestors proud, if they are still alive though. Connecting the dots is an awesome idea. I hope that once we all walk out from this school, this idea and others, not just the things that we learned in humanities, will stay intact to our brain and lead us to our bright future. And if you, Joe, would have an offspring, I hope that you will show him or her the things that has helped us through the years.

Addie's Blog

Your back and forth conversation with Mr. Allen was pretty amusing. I had the same thought as you when that question showed up. I mean, that question was like asking me "which came first? The Chicken or The Egg" kind of thing. But when one focus on the background of the question, one might notice that people are starting to be more dependent to the computer as the computer becomes more advance. It feels like the biological human brain and the mechanical computer are proportional. If one increases the other decreases. Although that thought is scary, the people around us starts to unravel the way they think as if the computer is programing us! We want everything fast now. Human perception toward this kind of question will say that humans programed the computer for the fact that the computer will not be born if there was no human. But like I said, If we look upon the big picture around us, we are now so dependent to the computer that our brain might not function very well without the presence of it. I know that the absence of the computer will affect me in some various ways. But who programs who? That might be a challenge for our 21st century thinkers, which is us.

Best of the Week: One step

Had one of this bad boys back then?

It was friday, FRIDAY, I went down on friday coming home with a surprise. I came inside the house feeling that it was just going to be another usual friday afternoon when suddenly, I saw a laptop on the top of the billiard pool. I was like WOOOAH! giggity. It was slick, thin, black, and beautiful. I did not know what to tell my parents, but none the less, I was thankful. I opened the laptop with amazement, it was like the curtain was rising up getting the show started. A flick of the power button and it said hi to me. "Well GOOD AFTERNOON to you mister Michael Angelo M. Pareja, what a pleasant day today isn't it?" said the laptop. In my amazement, I said, "Oh dear laptop of mine, art thou the best thing that has gazed upon my breathing soul. I kiss thee with glee my fellow love." By that time I called her, LiSA, short for Laptop is SO AWESOME. But deep inside my happy face, My Superego was saying that there is something wrong. The first thing that came inside my brain was the book The Shallows. It feels like everything that I learned in the book were diving into my head. But, I know how to handle it though, so it did not bother me that much. What a great day that was. Now that I have my own laptop, I can do my Webassign, Listverse, Blogger, Hulu, and if there is time Failblog and memebase wherever and whenever I want.

Best of the week: Dreams, dreams, dreams...

Tuesday, I guess, in Psychology class, we talked about the brain specifically the power of sleep. Our teacher kept on going and going about the brain and as the usual, my senioritis was just pulling me down.  And then we started talking about dreams. She said that dreams happen when the brain starts to pick up the things that happened to you that day and then the brain starts to make sense to it. For example, today you played Pokemon, you went driving, you kicked a dog, and you kissed the toilet seat. Now, the brain will all mash them all together and make a story using those things that happened to you. The dream might look like this "You were playing Pokemon while driving on the street when suddenly a dog goes in front of your car. You went out of your car and started kicking the dog because you are late for a date with the toilet seat yearning to be kissed by it" yeah, something like that. We also talked about the fact that we can control our own dreams. A study in Harvard(?) said that, if you kept on looking at the clock every hour and said the time continuously and consciously, then you would somehow check out the clock while you are dreaming, and by that, you can manipulate your dream! It has not happened to me yet, but maybe it will happen tonight. Isn't it awesome? Manipulating dream would be like being God for once in a while. But I guess that I should be careful to what I wish for, right?

Captured thought: Making videos go viral to spread information

Yup, you are right for the fact that people tends to get popular with the feedback, even though most of the comments are death threat. But, just by this song, we can see the power of youtube. This adjacent possible is so strong that it can make a person noticeable around the world. But I hope that someday, people would think before they speak.

Connection: Lit Circle Books

ADJACENT POSSIBLE, adjacent possible,  adjacent possible is a door where one could use and go to many places with the help of its imagination- if one tries. That is one of Addie's main point in her book/reading. What's the connection between her reading and mine? I have lots and lots of adjacent possible, too much that its making our brain overflow- too much is not a great thing though.

Yes I have no grudge against the adjacent possible, Heaven's no, it's just that I hate the people who over use it. Over using something is not a good thing ya' know. Like what I wrote, or Mr. Carr wrote, people are getting dumber as we rely more and more to our Internet. Addie's blog also talks about the other mediums, but in The Shallows? Those other mediums becomes either obsolete or slowly inherited by the internet, forcing the adjacent possible in those mediums to go into the void too. The Television (We can now search movies on Demand, browse the Net, and others! Furthermore, you don't even have to buy a T.V., you can just watch it in your computer, thanks to the Internet), News (Yahoo NEWS, The Chicago Tribune, Time Magazine,etc. they are in the computer now! We can now bomb the printing company, thanks to the Internet), radio (you can check out the live broadcast in your computer without the hassle to buy a radio, thanks to the internet), and books (Kindle is pretty bad*ss, you can go to links, surf the net, check out your e-mail, facebook, buy stuff in e-bay, WOAH WOAH WOAH wait a minute, its not a book anymore huh? thanks to the Internet) are some of the mediums that the internet has slowly, but surely, being taken away. When we combine everything, it is but a big pile of distraction, but, is there any ANY possibility that they are all in one big present? The Internet man, the internet. But how do we work with this medium is a thing that we must change. Others work with this adjacent possible in a good way, like Addie pointed out in her blog, people in Egypt congregate using the Net. I'm proud of them, I'm proud of them.

If I read her book deeper, I would have written more. But, even though that the old adjacent possible starts to rot away, new ones are emerging. But please, If anyone/someone/all of us/you are so suck up in the internet, go! GO! and grasp the other adjacent possible that this world, mother nature, can give you. There are a lot of them, also, you would also get inspiration- inspiration is (maybe) one of the mean of adjacent possible.

Captured Thought: OOOOH! that's why

Go find it dude

"...If you would make me choose between the internet or the book, I will choose the book", why in God's name would he say that? I mean, the Internet has a vast amount of knowledge that was once unreachable by any man in the world! A book is so darn boring that I can't even stand sitting on my chair with a book on my hand, bright lights that surround me, and a distracted brain not knowing the big claims of the author- BECAUSE IT IS SOOO BOORING! Then comes a book name The Shallows: What the Hell is the Internet doing to our BRAIN. It made me think twice about the things that I appreciate toward the Internet, and, his answer.

The Shallows  by Nicholas Carr is a novel about how the internet affects our cognitive thinking and how it affect our plastic/physical brain itself. In the reading, he explained how we rely more on the fact that we use the Internet, Google, as a "becoming" primary source of knowledge more than our precious biological brain of ours. A useless brain is a dumb brain! To be honest, I use Google whenever I want to know a question in webassign rather than using the book to gather information. The thing that I notice is that, whenever I find the answer in the Net, for some reason, I would forget the answer or it's concept- The concept is what we are really looking for in Physics, which I am lacking of. I head to a different question and then search then next question then search then next question then search, AND THEN, when I finish my webassign I would get an A, but, did I learn something... No. Yes, yes, yes, I get an A to my webassing, but, at the day of the test, for some (not) MAGICAL reason, I sometimes (ALWAYS) get a low B- I am guilty in charge. But when I read a book, it totally helps man! When I was in Bio, even a half of an hour reading the book gave me a straight A! GEEZUS. Nicholas Carr explained that, when we kept on using our brain (exercising the brain) the brain becomes sharper and smarter, like what the book is helping our brain- it forces the brain to work out and be focus.

Another thing about the internet is that distractions around it. Nicholas Carr also explained that in the book; The fact that multimedia distracts us when we read an article in the Net takes us away from our reading, from our gathering of  knowledge/ideas. He post different quotes of psychologists in the book that made experiments involving people reading without and with multimedia/distraction. In the course of the experiment, people with multimedia moves away to the topic that they were assigned to, they some times click to links that, sometimes, doesn't have any relevance to the topic- other than that, some of the were checking out their  e-mail, facebook, skyping, but, a small percent in the group totally gets into the topic (which has a chance to counter the fact that multimedia really is a distraction). Furthermore, rather than moving away to our reading, we now read in a different way than we used to- we now read in an F pattern rather than reading in a linear way, from left to right. F is for fast but also fail. We read from left to right in the beginning, and then, we skim down and pretend that we now know what we have read. What the Hell was that man! Use your darn brain for God sake. I started to not learn anything when I read in that fashion, specially when I combine the multimedia and the "F" reading pattern.

I think that he was right, Internet really is somewhat of a bad thing. Books keep us concentrated, more Yes, it takes us away from our custom learning and makes us dumb with it's "distractions", but every light casts a shadow, there are good stuff that the internet gives us too ya' know? Like mails, entertainments, and more- it makes our life a little easier. Yeah, what else, oh yeah, let us use the technology wisely my young Jedi... wisely.

The Shallows (Juggler's Brain, On the Bouyancyof IQ scores, The Church of Googles)

Google founders (Larry Page, Sergey Brin & me) 

In the reading, it talks about how we read a book versus the way we read (skim) on the articles in the Net- In the book, we read in a traditional way (deep reading) in a line pattern, but, when we read an article in the Net we read in an F pattern, reading from left to right then looks down. It also talks about the Hyperlinks and how it distracts us when we are reading an article for we tend to “curiously” tap on that link to , well, learn more stuff, but, it takes us away from our reading.  In the Google chapter, it has blown me away when just these two ambitious guys started to make something out of something, and with that, they wanted to change the world by making the world’s biggest library or center of ideas. But, the best part is when they were trying to make the world’s first A.I. which is another big leap for mankind (that’s two now, well that’s three, the other one was when I was born).

“’The ultimate search engine is something as smart as people- or smarter’” (172) is one of the quotes in the book that gives us a mental glimpse of what the 22^nd century looks like (I bet).  Google is going to set another leap to the future as they are/might make the first ever real live A.I. to whom we could converse with,  to play with (maybe some green thoughts), and specially to take over the stuff that we don’t like to be in (family reunions, I guess). The good thing about it is that, we can now extend our scientific intelligence by putting these A.I. to places that we cannot be (e.g.  Mars, Ocean depths, volcanoes, places where man has not stepped on). Well it’s not just about science you know, we can have a social interaction with them and may replace dogs as Man’s (woman’s) best friend. As Fusoya in Final Fantasy 4 says it “Light casts darkness…” what I mean is that there are bad stuff that might happen when we have this A.I. running around the streets. They might have an attitude and could hurt people, If they ran out of batteries, short circuits, they may take over our jobs,  or they might even take over the world- But I guess that those things may not happen, if we are careful.

It matters: "The King of Egypt"

"There can be miracles when you believe..."

Open your computer, television, radio, and you eyes! A revolution is happening right around the corner, and you should be concerned. The first time that I heard the news was in the class. The news about the Egyptian people trying to take down the king and changing the rules. It is time for change and time to challenge the status quo!

A lot of people are trying to break off the government under Hosni Mubarak. But first things first, who the heck is Hosni Mubarak. His real name is Muḥammad Ḥusnī Sayyid Mubārak, Hosni Mubarak for short. He was born in May 4 1928, currently the President of Egypt, and the 4th person to become the President of Egypt. What else, oh, people also tried to assassinate this guys for six times! Six freaking times! But why? Well maybe because he has been sitting there for thirty years, so the Egyptians stood up to change the president and start new government. But HOW? by the power of Internet. By using different social networking sites, people manage to bring up people and make a stance against the government. It wasn't easy though, it was a long process but it was all worth it.

Then comes the day when the revolution start. It started with few people rallying around the area, then came hundreds, then thousands, and before the night peaked in there were more. The police are trying to keep them in order, but they are starting to fail. People around the world starts to recognize the problem that is happening there. So what? Well, if the Egyptian government starts to crumble down, then the other nations in the middle east that are having the same problem might stand up too- changing the government. Whoa, what a wake up call huh?

But I have a feeling that there will be another problem that is lurking around the corner- The increase of Terrorism or War. Let me explain; Barrack Obama is helping the people in Egypt to change their government right? So there will/might be two things that would happen to America if the Government or some people in Egypt get pissed to our interference to them. First, If the people lose against their government, then they might shift their anger to America because America might have not given sufficient help ti change their country. It will lead to terrorism if that would happen. The Second one is a big BIG problem, WAR that might lead to World War three. The American government is helping the rebels right? What does the Egyptian Government thinks about that huh? They are PISSED OFF! American Government shouldn't be interfering them (But there must be some American citizen in Egypt, so I guess we have our reasons) they should be minding their own business. So if the Egyptian Government destroys the rebels, then they might fight fight America for helping the rebels. Then If that happens, then it would be a great opportunity for China, Russia, North Korea, and other communist country to destroy the The Great Pinnacle of Democracy! But there is a small chance that THAT might happen. Of course the Egyptian Government has to rebuilt their country and maybe move on, or DEFEAT AMERICA AND DESTROY THE WORLD! NUCLEAR WAR RULES!! I keed.

But for me, I guess freedom is the best thing that a person could ever have. A freedom that no one can ever be touch. A freedom for you and for me. I hope for the best to what will ever happens to Egypt and Godspeed.

Metacognition: "Backtrack" semester one.

Amazing things happen when people learn, experience, and understand "something" or "anything" that could really increase, not just your intelligence, but your whole "YOU". Isn't it amazing to learn what makes that picture, it's meaning, or purpose? You won't see it if you are just an average person. But if you study the first semester in Humanities, there will be a more sense of what that picture is.

When I was a kid, I hated paintings. I just didn't get them. Whenever we had field-trip into an art museum, I groan. I kept on saying "can we just go to the zoo?", but my teacher(s) simply smiles at me. Whenever I was in the museum with my teacher, classmates, and my mom I always go to the picture with more colors- well it wasn't just me but my classmate also agreed with me. There were some exceptions to what I hate about a or a painting back then: I loved to look at pictures with more actions in it. Of course every single one of my classmates liked it too. Sculptures were (and still are) cool too. Pictures with really no meanings about it (example- pictures with scribbled lines) were like the worst- but I was wrong.

During the first quarter of Humanities, it's more of studying what or how imagination and creativity works. It was really amazing. Because of imagination and creativity, my writings became more "elastic" (can't think of a word, but something totally close to that). For example, whenever I write a blog I tend to write more than I used to because I know now how to add more sentences using the first sentence just by being creative to what I say. Sometimes I tend to be humorous to what I write just to increase the numbers of words that  I could write in my blog. Because of creativity, I used my past and present thinking to what a reader's wants and don't to enjoy a reading in a blog, essay, etc. Likewise, every single darn person in this world hates reading a paper, blog, NEWSPAPER that has a lot of BIG paragraphs. People just hate that- maybe 80%. So sometimes I just make some (not all) of my writings into smaller paragraphs. When I make an essay that has three or more big paragraphs, I try to make it entertaining for the reader to read (like I said above). Furthermore, I like to add pictures in my blogs to make it more "FUN" and awesome at the same time. And that is what I got from learning creativity. Imagine that.

Now let us look toward the second quarter- Philosophy. Well this is one of the subjects that I am weak to. I call it a "wall". It is not a bad subject though, I mean there are no bad subjects at all, but there are only bad students in learning in some subjects- like me. I am bad in that subject because I tend to get bored to the long lectures about philosophy. I think it is because I am more interested to what will happen to the main character than the philosophers itself. But even though I missed some of the names of the philosophers in the book, I still do remember most of the teachings they gave. For example "do not always make conclusions", "We are not the final cause", "I think therefore I am", "Religious Philosophy", "Dualism", "Thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis", etc. Philosophy also influenced the way I write. Now I kind of understand more what I write and therefore I could add more to what my essay is. In other words philosophy gave me the "adjacent possible". It unlocked open doors and got me into them.

Remember the scribbled lines? Yeah, I kind of get it now. I feel like there is a dance in that picture. I guess the artist imagined that he or she was dancing with the flow of creativity, and also, he used his philosophy to what people thinks of when they see this painting.
