I suggest that the phenomenological perspective - because its basis is philosophical idealism - encourages people to seek change through the way they think, instead of providing them with means by which they can change what they or others are doing. Theoretical de-reification, a possible consequence of this perspective, is not enough. There must be a practical de-reification - an actual overthrow of social relations through praxis.

Been thinking a lot recently about my uncle, who's my art mentor, and how he told me that I'm doing a lot better artistically than he was at my age. I didn't think that could be possible, because he'd done so much work with his art (zines, publications, etc) than I currently have, but I'm starting to think that the circumstances we were/are in doesn't determine my ability/worth, and that there's no way we could have the same experiences at all. Maybe my own experiences and the way they shape my art are just as valid as his, and the fact that we're different is a good thing. Different times, different practice, different circumstances, different results. Neither actually objectively better than the other, but maybe mine is best for me, and something along those lines is what he was trying to say?

Welcome to Mika in Memes 2k19 !

[Spiderman Meme] - My online and offline identities are pretty similar (as I do say so myself and based on my friends opinions), hence the identical Spiderman meme. I am both shy and awkward but outgoing and friendly whether on the keyboard or off the keyboard. I’m still the same person all throughout! I talk about the same things (school, music, the environment, K-pop, theater, etc.), express the same ways (of course minus the saying: “GHDGJSFSJH” and the like as it is physically impossible to say, but I do express them through my tone of voice and exclamations), and share the same memes!

[Kanye West Meme] - This shows one example of my personality being both an introvert and extrovert. According to the Myers-Briggs personality types, I can fluctuate between being an INFP and ENFJ, and looking at the percentages between introversion and extraversion, they are almost a 50/50! My preferences vary depending on my mood and also, I do love having both introvert and extrovert qualities and doing things each would do!

positivity ratio, 11:1

at the end of my caring for the self project, i felt happy/satisfied knowing that i helped other people and at the same time helped myself

 a few of the things i did were helping my sister with her homework, giving my mom a hug and a kiss, helping my friend by carrying his things, etc 

this whole activity made me take note of the actions i do in a day, whether im spending my time being productive, being kind to others and if im not doing either of those thing. i became more of aware of my daily habits, and the way i speak and talk to people, if im even making a good impact or being the best version of myself 

it made me much happier/satisfied in the end knowing that i probably made a positive impact to someone’s day and that i, myself can continue to be more aware of the actions i do and words i say

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the verdict:

i realized that most people nowadays may not be aware of the way they act and how that affects other people and their own lives. we can be caught up with our own responsibilities and work that we forget to be kind to our family, our friends, and the people around us

it is nice to take a step back, relax and then come back and live everyday to the best of our abilities, knowing how we are living our lives can affect others. this in return reduces inner conflict and external conflict w others and makes us happier people. we can let go of our pride, our laziness and rest from our tiredness so that we will be able to live more positive lives. doing good, being open and being social all together will help us grow into better people little by little, everyday, in every way.

I do this with the power of my abot-kaya, until I can say to myself: “Buo na ngayon ang loob ko. Sa abot ng aking makakaya, ito na ang gagawin ko”
