I stress a lot about choosing one path. I live in a world of possibilities, so choosing only one and dedicating myself to it fully scares me incredibly. Feeling trapped is a nightmare even if I’m doing something I genuinely enjoy. I always need a way out.
I’m full of contradictions like being horribly lonely but wanting to go home whenever I’m hanging out with people.
Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty, and each action will be meaningless. Truth and confidence are the roots of happiness.

six word story (via perrfectly)
When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.

BatFriends v SuperCritics - The Dawn of Cinematic Experience
For a couple of years now, social networks have changed the way we do things. From shopping decisions, making friends, and establishing memories; social networks provided us with solutions not even possible 10 years ago. One of which is having a global consensus on relevant issues with our peers.
I’ll cut the 'deep intro bull' short: Right now, people are torn whether or not 'Batman V Superman' sucked. Although, to be honest, the boat is 60-70%, in favor of those who say that it's pretty much a GOOD film.
GAH!
Before you light up your torch and pitchforks with your hateful "The writing was sloppy" "Critics say it was a horrible film" "The only good thing was Batfleck" "It was boring af" comments and swore me off with witchcraft and heresy, lemme say this first:
Those things are also very true*.
*Up to debate. Currently, the critics from Rotten Tomatoes ranked it at 29%, whilst audience score is at 73%. Your call on who to listen.
BatFriends v SuperCritics
Movie critics have been poised as the dominant authority as to whether or not a movie is 'worth' watching. It helps us, the casual movie-goers, become smarter consumers of the art. They have been a shining beacon for us, as they guide us to avoid 'rotten'(pun intended) movies with their wit and eloquent writing.
Their only flaw is that most people find them as 'gods' of the movie industry, and a bad review will break a movie apart even before premier date.
SuperCritics - geddit?
I consider this as a flaw as being 'dependent' on them distorts our cinema experience. Seeing an 11% rating on Divergent: Allegiant will make you think twice about watching this movie. For some, it may save them a few bucks. However, fans of the series and YA addicts will be frightened and be alienated(pun intended) by the sight of a sub-par score. This, in turn, may affect how the general audiences view the movie, and it might create a stigma "This movie has horrible reviews, so it might be truly horrible."
Social networks, on the other hand, provide an alternative source of information. Social networks changed the paradigm of entertainment, and we barely even noticed it. It was once quoted that social networks will be the digital 'water-cooler' of the next generation. We are no longer just the passive recipient, but also the active participant of information.How often have you discovered movies, TV shows, YouTube channels, fan pages, and spoilers via your social circle? We're you also intrigued by 'Heneral Luna' because of the social network buzz they created a year ago?
Although, the information generated and shared to us by social networks is not of the purest form, and is highly preferential. What might be a great movie for your nerdy friends might not be as well accepted by your girly friends.
What does this say to us? Why is that the audience score is so far from the critic score? Why is it that the official movie critics have a very different view of the movie in contrasts to the fans? Did we watch a different movie?
Love it or hate it, there's a reason why the word 'preference' is among my favorite words. It's like me saying "I love black coffee, but I'm not forcing you to love it as well."
TL;DR - Take everything with a grain of salt. Movie reviews from critics and friends can be very biased. The best way to enjoy a movie is to just enjoy the goddamn movie because everybody has their own preference.
My take on Batman V Superman
Guess what: I'm the niche market that BvS was aiming for, and I really loved the movie. It reminds me more of the gritty, twisted, and dark world of Watchmen, made by the same director. He's no Kubrick or Hitchcock, but you get what you expect from Snyder. Personally,
I enjoyed almost 5 hours (I watched it twice) of fantasy provided by Snyder and company, given I loved the easter eggs (how timely it's Easter now).The movie has its apparent flaws that most people will complain about, namely pacing, writing, and consistency.
My rating would be: 34/43
In the end, does it really matter what they all say? Does it matter what I say? Now if you let these 'reviews' rob you of your experience, it's up to you. If you let your friends dictate that the movie sucked, it's up to you too. When I was a kid, nobody give a damn about reviews from critics and friends. We just watched what was out there (I recall I even watched twilight ffs) and had a great time.
Watch it for the sake of the cinematic experience, if you're looking for some.
My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.

Make New Rules (inspired by Seth Godin)
“It's essentially impossible to become successful or well off doing a job that is described and measured by someone else.”
Sooner or later, your role can be automated, outsourced, or even removed. But if you can be someone with potential, with talent, or with priceless value, people will look for you and take care of you. Be an asset by being ambitious.
The only way for humanity (or at least, your company) to evolve is through making new rules that no one can compete with.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

A brutal facepalm for social media
Sometimes people post something so stupid in social media that it deserves a brutal and epic face palm.
A face palm so brutal that it would crush your skull. Then the fragments of your now crushed skull will puncture your brain so that it bleed to death and stop functioning; all for the effort of saving your sanity (and prevent the loss of IQ).
I don’t mind playing dumb just for fun, but some people say and believe crap that’s out of this world. It’s amazing how gullible we can get (especially that I like to troll people) but sometimes it’s a super WTF moment. My head hurts with the echo of my brain asking ‘WHY?’

Rant
2 things I am personally ranting now: 1. When asking for a favor, you have no right to demand, especially if its for free. People would need to sacrifice their own time and effort to help you, and that's enough to be demanded for. I can do stuff for free, but I am not obliged to do it asap. I'll decline if I can't do it within your timeline(so better damn have a timeline rather than pressuring me with demands that are timeless). 2. Don't do any favors or good deeds for free if you're gonna ask something in return(a favor) in the near future. Having zero 'utang na loob' genes is not a crime. If you're gonna do good or do something because of responsibility, I have no obligation to repay you or reciprocate your favor, unless we agreed to have such or I personally stated that I owe you one. If you redeem me by saying " wala yun", I'll acknowledge it seriously. /rant #Personal

Punch a hole right in the face of the frontier of innovation. Never settle for flying high, but rather, flying beyond what is high. You'll never know what you could reach until it's your last dying breath. Everyday is a new day for reinvention and exploration.

Some people just make a mark in your soul, that for whatever reason, you will never forget them till the end of your days. Thank you awesome people
