15 - Wishes

"If you had three wishes, what would they be?"

If I had three wishes what would they be? Hmmmm.... first is that I wish I was always lucky. Who wouldn't want to right? Think about it. What would happen if you we're always lucky? Everything would suddenly be right in front of you. If you're hungry, someone would just suddenly come in front of you and give you gourmet food. All the women would fall in love you. You'll always get the job you wanted. Everyone will be praising you. You'd always win the lotto. You could even be the president of the world! The possibilities are endless if your always lucky my friend! Just think about it. Look at how many good things would happen to you. YOU ARE THAT LUCKY!

My second wish would be to have the ability to have control over jizz. Once again, think about it. Controlling somebody's jizz. You'll just go, "jizz your pants!" and that person would suddenly wet himself/herself. You could even use it for self defense! Imagine your robber uncontrollably jizzing himself. He won't have the energy to even runaway. You could turn the tables around, you're gonna be the one robbing him! Oh the possibilities! What if superheroes and supervillains were also real and you're was controlling jizz. You'll be unstoppable! You'll be stronger than any other superhero or supervillain. Beating the hulk would be as easy as opening an egg! Just imagine it, the hulk jizzing himself and then slowly turning back to human. Not only that, every girl would want to be with you. That I don't need to explain.

My last wish which is kinda cliche but is still wise is to wish for more wishes. I don't need to explain this one anymore. It's pretty self-explanatory as to why I want 3 more wishes.

14 - A letter to me

"Write something nice about yourself"

I've always degraded myself in front of others, telling them I'm not good at anything. I'm just a simple man trying to live a life. Eventhough some people tell me that I'm good, I always tell them the opposite. Always neglecting their compliment. Telling that I'm a nobody, trying to be somebody. This time, just this time, I'm going to praise myself just for fun maybe. I'm gonna do it by  writing a letter to myself.

Dear JC,

Don't you ever degrade yourself man. You are one of the most awesome guy I've ever met. You volunteered as an usher to almost every event during college week and the school of multimedia arts week. Because of you, all the events were successful! Almost every event went smoothly because of you. Thank you for that! We are very great full to have someone as awesome you! We're really sorry though that we weren't able to watch you're dance during the APC Dance Company Blockbuster Concert. You really wanted us to go to that event so we called support you and the whole front act. You kept on telling us to go but we still didn't go and we're really sorry about. If it makes you feel better, we've watched the video of your dance. Might we say, YOU ARE AN AMAZING DANCER! With all those crazy pop and lock moves, the head isolation, the fluidity of your dance! Not only are you an awesome person, you're also a very good dancer! We also watched your float presentation, might we say that you guys where the best we've seen. The moves we're just amazing! It was like watching a fight scene straight from the video game! It was that awesome! You guys should have won! Even your float should've won! Although it was small, the detail and the meaning behind stood out from the rest! You guys should really have won! I guess that's all we can say for now. Just remember, you are an amazing person, don't change! We love you that way.

Sincerely yours,
Your imagination

13 - Bad Combination

"What was it like to get glasses or braces"

Have you ever worn braces before? How about glasses? How about both at the same time? Back in my high school days I wore them at the same time. It's one of the worst combination ever! I looked like a total nerd who'll never get a girlfriend. The humiliation I got at first was degrading but during the long run, people got used to it.

I got sidetracked a bit there, let's talk about what it feels like to have braces on first. For the first 3 days it's going to hurt like hell! It hurts so bad that you can't even talk properly. Not only that you can't even eat properly. The food you love eating, like chicken, bacon, freaking spaghetti, you're gonna have a really hard time eating them. The only food I ate was soup, I even had to drink it using a straw! It's that bad! Especially for me since my tooth was totally crooked. My teeth were alternating. Inside, out, inside, out, inside, out. It was literally ugly to look at. There's this weird feeling once you get braces on. Especially for the first time, it feels like you want to remove a really big debri in your mouth. Even after the 3 day agony, there's still the times where the rubber band holding the metal would suddenly snap. I had to spend a whole day wearing a broken brace. Also, I have a tip, don't eat really hard food. Like candy, popcorn, apple. Don't eat those as is. You have to grind them or something. Just make it less hard. Trust me, if you don't your gonna accidentally remove one of the brace from your mouth, and the feeling you get if that happens suck!

Glasses on the other hand are awesome! These puppies are a blessing for those with bad eyesight. Well duh, it's pretty self explanatory. Anyway, for those who never had to wear glasses, the feeling is like this. Imagine your watching a 240P video in youtube but the quality is much more suckier than that. Imagine that as your eyesight. Then once you put on your glasses in becomes 1080P. HD MOFO's! That's what it feels like! It's like being blessed a thousand times. The feeling is amazing! Seeing things in crystal clear and in high definition! It's like upgrading your small black and white TV to a full HD 1080P Plasma Screen TV!

12 - Inspirational Peeps

"Who is the person alive today that you would most like to meet and talk to? Why? What would you like to
ask?"

Just this once, I'm going to break the rules. There are actually three persons that I admire the most who's still alive today. The three of them made a great impact on who I am today. Even though they don't know me directly, they we're still able to help and inspire me through the things they do.

Let's start with number three. He played as the common bank clerk who transforms into a manic witty superhero named The Mask in the 1994 movie entitled, "The Mask". He also played as the ever great pretender, Count Olaf in the 2004 movie called "A Series of Unfortunate Events. He also played the cold and heartless furry green recluse name Grinch. You've probably already guessed who it is now. If not, dammit man. The clues I gave are already a giveaway. Just go and google it! Back to my topic. The person that I'm talking about is non other than Jim Carrey himself. The reason is because, if you've noticed by the clues I gave, this guy is an amazing actor! He was able to act as a man who acts like other people. He was able to portray the character he's playing properly. Especially the movie "The Mask" Compared to "The Mask 2", Jim portrayed the mask better than the 2nd "The Mask" He was able to capture almost all the mannerisms of the character he's portraying. Especially in the movie, A series if unfortunate events, where he played the character who could act  out a lot of other characters. That right there is amazing.

Number 2 would be the guy who jumps from building to building like spiderman. He does his own death defying stunts just to make the movie as accurate and as believable as possible.Another reason why I idolize him is because he choreographs all his own fight scenes in all of his movie. Not only that he also created his own fighting style called the drunken master which he also made a movie about. This guy is just simply amazing. He's like one of those really hard to find gems. He's just one of a kind.

The last one in my list, can swim. He can surf, play soccer, play the drums, he can even go fishing. I know you've noticed that these are things that normal people would do. What separates this last one from us is that this dude that I'm talking does not have any limbs. OMG right? This guy is one of the most inspirational man on earth, inspiring people that eventhough he was made as such, he overcame the difficulties with it. He used it to his advantage. He shared his life story to many about not giving up. Now he has become a great inspiration to us. His name is Nick Vujicic. He was bullied since he was kid. He even tried committing suicide once but his mother convinced him not to. She told him to look more on the positive things instead of the negative ones. As a result he became an inspiration to millions of people. Now he is married and he has a child. Can you believe that? A limbless man getting married and having kids, he even became an inspiration to many. I could somewhat relate to him because back in highschool, I've always been bullied. Always, but then I said to myself, no more! This has to stop! So I stood up for myself from then on and right now I'm on top!

11 - Summer Plans

"My plans for the summer"

Ahhhh.... Summer time. The time almost every student has been waiting for. It's the time where all the students would have 2 months of free time. No more annoying teachers, no more stressful homework's, no more brain squeezing quizzes, no more nose bleeding long tests. However, students are not the only ones benefiting during summer break. Parents have been waiting for summer time as well. No more tuition fees to pay, no more low grades that would annoy the crap out of them, no more waking up very early just to drop their kids to school, and most of all, no more allowance to give.

2 Months of free time. What to do during that long period of time? Last summer, I did nothing. I just became a potato couch for the whole 2 months. Just watching TV, wasting my time playing CODMW2 for countless hours, and sleeping like a bear hibernating. This year, I've decided that I won't waste my time doing worthless shiznitz. I'm going to make this summer worth while.

The first thing on my list would be to create my first legit digipainting. I've always been fascinated at those realistic and creative digipaintings. I've always wanted to re-create the things I've always imagined and I must, they're pretty awesome in my imagination. All I need to do now is work on my skills in digipainting.  Since I'm a Multimedia Arts student, learning how to digipaint would help me a lot for my upcoming digipainting subject. There's a reason why I picked digipainting instead of the traditional art where you use atual paint. The reason is pretty simple and actually kinda wise. The reason why I picked digipainting is because of these 3 main reasons: It's not messy, It's fast, and the last one, CONTROL Z MOFO'S! In traditional you have to mix paint and all that. It consumes a lot of time. Digipainting on the other is the opposite of that.

The next thing on my list would be to make an action video with my cousins. I have loved making videos since I was a kid, even up to now, I still love making videos. The feeling I get every time I shoot make an awesome video is cannot be explained. It's like that feeling you get when you've done something amazing. Since I've been watching a lot of action movies lately, I decided on making a short action film myself. Complete with stealth kills like in Assassins Creed, Parkour exhibition like in District B-13 Ultimatum, and fast paced fist fights like in the movie IP Man.

After accomplishing those two main goals of mine, I'll be continuing being productive for the remaining weeks. I'll be polishing my skills in soccer. I'll further improve my skills in parkour since that is one of my favorite extreme sport ever! I'll also be improving my skills in photography. That would greatly help me in my future subjects in college.

That is how I'll most likely spend my whole summer. Improving my skills to become a better person. But Judging  but the number of goals I typed, I'm definitely going to be a couch potato again. I'm gonna do what I did last summer, nothing. Just kidding! I wanna be productive this summer. I'm not going to waste my time doing nothing again.

10 - PARKOUR

"I always wanted to"

You're walking alone in a street you're not familiar with. Not a single soul was seen walking in the street you're currently walking on. Moments later you feel like someone is following you. You stop for awhile trying to figure if what you're feeling is true. After a few seconds you start walking again but this time, you look at your surroundings trying to figure out which way leads to a faster escape. While you're thinking of a path you suddenly hear a sound. You stopped and tried listening to it better just to clarify if what you're hearing is true. The footsteps suddenly became louder and faster as you tried listening to it. You start walking faster and faster just like the footsteps you're hearing. As you move faster and faster, the number of steps you hear increases more and more. You looked behind you and to your surprise 5 thugs are trying to chase you! You start running faster, you followed the path where the alley leads you. Unfortunately, you ran into a dead end. You look back and you see 5 men running towards you. You looked around the area to see if there's any way out. 50 feet walls surround you. They're coming closer and closer. You need to find a way to escape. 

As they came closer you suddenly remembered what your parkour trainer taught you. You traced a path that would most likely result in you escaping the 5 men trying to chase. You analyze the situation. You realize that there is now way to escape the area unless you get past the five men. You don't have any knowledge in fighting but you knew how to do parkour. As they came near to you, your heart starts beating faster. Your adrenaline increases. You saw a man going near the side of the wall. You ran towards the him. You jumped towards the side of the 50 foot wall and started doing a horizontal wall run. One, two, three long steps at the wall and then you land safely on floor. You saw a fire escape ladder which was hanging 8 feet away from the ground. You ran towards it. You jumped, kicked the side of the wall, and grabbed onto to the ladder. You climbed up and up and up until you reach the rooftop. You looked down and saw the men having trouble getting the ladder down. You spat on them and ran away. Jumping from building tops to building tops, losing them from sight. You runaway safely and unscathed.

District B13 Ultimatum Chase scene

I've always wanted to do stuff like that. Jumping from building top to another building top. Precision jumping from rail to another rail. Cat leaping from wall to another wall. Wall running from a wall and then cat leaping to another wall. Stuff that David Belle, Sébastien Foucan, and Jackie Chan does.

For the readers who does not know what parkour is, parkour is moving from point A to point B the quickest way possible using only your body and your sorroundings. The trick of parkour is to use as little wasted movement while going past an obstacle. Just like the video you saw. David Belle moved from one building to another without even going to the first floor. Parkour should not be confused with Freerunning though. Free running includes tricks and flips when moving from point A to point B. Tricking and flipping isn't really necessary. It would most like slow the runner down in someway.

Freerunning

Parkour 

Ever since I was a kid, I've always been interested in watching death defying stunts. I'd even pretend that I'm actually doing them; jumping from one curb to another "like" a boss! One morning, while I was talking about how Jackie leaps from one obstacle to another with style, my friend told me that he what Jackie Chan is doing is called parkour. After that, I searched for it on youtube and found a lot about it. I watched tutorial videos and whatnot, and then I would try doing them. As of now I am able to do cat leaps, horizontal and vertical wall runs, precision jumps, and vaults, but its still wasn't enough. My friend then told me that his brother is actually the founder of Parkour Philippines (PKPH). Unfortunately his brother was too busy to teach the both of us so me and my friend decided on practicing ourselves. Up to now we're still training and we're still noobs at. We're still stuck with cat leaps, precision jumps, wall runs, and vaults. But hey, at least we're active and productive not a couch potato.

9 - A Poem

Death

Death is inevitable
No one is born to live forever
We can never avoid death, nor can we run away from it
The only thing we can do is to embrace it and live with it

My uncle, the closest uncle that I've ever had
The uncle that would take care of me when my parents left for a party
The uncle that would make me laugh like Chewbacca on steroids whenever I'm down and under
Was diagnosed with cancer

As I saw him clinging on to his last breath
On the door there was knocking, it was death
He came to collect what was never his
Life, that's just the way it is

During his burial, I took a last glimpse of him
But it wasn't my uncle that I saw
It was my father taking his place in the coffin
I was left in fear and awe

I tried my best not to cry
As I see my father's image lying inside the coffin of my uncle who died
I tried my best to tell myself that it's my uncle who died and not my father
I even tried concealing myself beside our tall and fat drawer

But alas, my best did not suffice
My father went to me and asked me what was wrong
I did not want him to know what I was really thinking during that time alone
I did not know how to respond him so I had no choice but to cry and point at my dead uncle's coffin

You're gonna die
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
We are all gonna die
But one thing I learned is that we should never let that thought "we are all gonna die" hinder us from living our life to the fullest

Let's all remember
Let's all imprint this in our mind
We only have one life to live
Let's make each and every single moment count
