I was looking for news on Pinoy politics....

and this is the headline: Anne Curtis felt disrespected.

First of all, Really??? That's what's in the news now? That's what people are interested to read and find out?

Secondly, are you fucking kidding me? So she had a "wardrobe malfunction", people took photos and it went viral. She's crying on national TV and expecting people to "respect" her privacy? Why dance and shake your ass with just a tiny thingy to cover what you don't want to be seen?

She's saying things like she should have been respected more and people should have not made the photo viral. Here comes the "entitlement" complex most of these people have. "I should have been treated better, they should have not done this to me, blah blah blah..."

Woman, you shouldn't have been dancing with just a bikini!! 'nuff said!!!

WTF again???



WTF? What the hell is wrong with these people? When's the cover-up gonna stop? When are they gonna accept that celibacy is evolutionary and naturally wrong? They tell the priests that they should not be having sex with a woman but it is ok when those goddammed priests molest children? Woman -bad, kids -not so much??? That is just fucked up.

Quantum State, Parallel Universe

I finished watching FlashForward and the next day there's this article about quantum state.

In the series, when Dominic Monaghan's character first came out, he was explaining quantum state to a lady (they ended up sleeping together, of course). It reminded me of Michael Crichton's Timeline. I first learned about the topic (Quantum Mechanics, Parallel Universe) there and after reading I did what I always do when I don't understand something -I researched it. For some reason, I was aware of the concept but if you ask me to explain then, I wouldn't be able to.

So now, the quantum state (simply put -to be in two places at the same time) is in the news again. Being in state of "existing" and "not existing".. I'm here and I'm also not here. Mind-boggling, eh? But it really, really sounds so exciting.

FlashForward mentioned something about MWI - Many World Interpretations or Parallel Universe. According to this article in addition to the world we are aware of directly, there are many other similar worlds which exist in parallel at the same space and time. Since every possible outcome of every event defines or exists in its own "history" or "world". In layman's terms, there is a very large—perhaps infinite[9]—number of universes, and everything that could possibly have happened in our past, but didn't, has occurred in the past of some other universe or universes.

It's tempting to say and think that every other decisions we didn't choose to make, we have already taken in some other "worlds" and has now had a different outcome. It's an interesting and a very seductive idea to think about especially if you're having a very crappy day in "this world".

Should we really forget?

Rounding my usual reading lists, I found this post.

I keep thinking that I've already read about this before, even seen it. After a few google searches to confirm my thought, alas I was wrong. I was thinking about another drug, Propanolol. I remembered it because I was kinda torn about the issue.

Should you forget the bad memories or should you hold on to it to make you stronger?

The article mentioned about traumatic experiences which can impede a person's day-to-day activities. If I've been in a car accident or a rape victim and it had left me emotionally disabled or something, maybe I can consider taking the drug.

I said I'm torn.. I haven't had any traumatic experience- yet. But I've had pain that just won't stop to the point where I considered stopping the pain -physically (why is it so hard for me to say 'suicide'?)... So if the pill can help me forget the experience, hence the pain, why not take it? But in my case there's no particular experience to forget, it's a collection of bad memories (I think).. So I should target those memories and forget? (sounds a bit like "Paycheck")

Then again, I believe we are all but the sum of our experiences. It makes us who we are. So why erase a memory?

I am not making any sense and if I'm trying to convince myself, it's not working...

The Pope issued an "apology" for all the abuse their priests have done. "Truly Sorry" that's the caption MSNBC used. Really?? It's been happening for decades in most parts of the Catholic world and only now do they apologize?
