To me, the mind is a concept that human beings are used to describe the driver of thought. It does not exist, neither in material form nor in energy form. Therefore, chemical reaction cannot occur in the mind. If a chemical reaction is absent, then drugs could certainly not affect the mind. Then why the countless drugs coming out every day to cure “mental” health problems?
Before I answer that question, I will prematurely conclude that such drugs does not 100% guarantee a cure. If I’m to bluntly speculate, no drug existing or that has existed could ever guarantee a 100% cure because the reaction is not mathematically accurate. If you think about it carefully, can a medicine produce a chemical reaction and completely eradicate the misbehaving organism within your body? Drugs are tested in the basis of statistics. With hypotheses, scientists would perform an experiment and observe the effect, but never quantize the reaction between matters to the zero limit.
To avoid further argument, I will assume that a subnormal behavior exist and is defined to be a behavior which is not usual to the majority population. Such behavior is considered a mental health illness. When we say mental, it directly pertains to the mind. Many drugs are out to further minimize the abnormalities. How can this be possible when I previously stated that the mind cannot foster chemical reaction? The drugs do not affect the mind, rather they affect the nerves.
The nerves are the only explanation why a human being does certain things. It’s not the mind. The nerves are the ones driving the thoughts and actions. A combination of nerve state is a function. If we have countless numbers of nerves, you take countless combinations of those would give countless number of functions. A function would consist of a frame of thought or action, so a set of function could trigger a thought, actiong, or emotion. That’s the only way I can tell how medicine affect the normality of a behavior. It could either trigger the nerves to add more combination if it is lacking or turn off a combination if it has turned on a function that is usually off on a normal human.
So, is there such thing as a mind? I always carelessly use the word, but I am going to deny its existence.
It’s very rare to find an actor with superb acting skills. My taste in films often does not agree with the public. I have no background in films, but I’m pretty firm in my belief of what a good film comprises of. My choice in watching a movie or a serial is greatly influenced by the cast. If my taste in a piece is unusual, I think that my taste in actors is more unusual. My favorite actor of all time is Jason Lee. Not so many elite moviegoers would even have him in their top-100.
I never compare actors to decide whether I like them or not. The uniqueness is a factor in deciding whether an artist is worthy of my time. Being natural onscreen is another. Yang Dong Geun is an actor of such degree. For starters, Yang is a Korean actor who starred in “Fighter In The Wind”, “Ruler Of Your Own World”, “Dr. Kkang” and “I Am Saem”.
Yang Dong Geun has a unique acting skills. His bipolar style can make you frown and make you laugh out loud the next second. His appearance typecasts his roles, but he can play any and he has proven that in “I Am Saem”. His actions shows as if he’s suppressing his emotions and ready to explode which makes you anticipate for something. I’ve always had this feeling in every project he’s made.
At first glance, an audience wouldn’t want to appoint their time in watching Yang Dong Geun’s work because at first impression, he looks like a joke. I’ve experienced that, but once you enter his realm, you’ll find one of the better actors you’ll ever encounter.
I’m so excited for this Korean film to come out on torrent (oopps!) Starring the two of my most favored actors — Joe O-dagiri (Shinobi) and Lee Na Young (Somebody Special), I have to see the film. The big screen release is early October, so a subtitled DVD quality should be out early next year. This will be another tear-jerker and depressing movie, but it’s the substance that matters including the excellent acting that I will be expecting from the two. This will be the second O-dagiri piece I’ll be seeing and it’s been a while since Lee made a project. If you want to know why I’m expecting the best of this, check the stream below.
Hali kayo magsilapit kahit na po ilang saglit pakinggan nyo itong awit na hindi na mauulit.
Yesterday was a disaster for me. Fortunately, I worked it out finally. I started the day without opening all possible ways to access the router in case of changes. When the ISP executed the changes, I forgot to prepare the IP block for the router and I was unable to access it to perform the changes. So I ran to the nearest Radio Shack to purchase serial cable. Now that I was able to access the router, I implemented the changes — except for one line. The whole office did not have internet access until later in the afternoon when we were able to identify the problem.
Today, I received my new digital camera from Nikon — the DSLR model D40. I had to pay a wee more than a usual compact digital cameras, but so far after taking a few snaps of Lexie’s 1st birthday (official celebration) I’m impressed. To the curious ones, I spent $385 for it from NewEgg. I’m not no more than an amateur when it comes to photography. Owning this gadget may indulge me into the craft a tad… just a tad. So here’s my early observation of the camera and my thoughts toward the possibilities.
Unlike your ultrahandy compact digital cameras, the user uses an optical viewfinder to take photos with DSLRs. I find it better this way because you become more intimate with the subject and the camera is steadier. Also with the D40 (and most DSLR), I can take snap after snap easily because of the speedy shutter speed. So moments are better preserved.
I will be practicing these coming days to familiarize with the new gadget so that I can publish share-worthy photos here.
After eight hours of downtime, I found out that the site was down. The site went down at 12:32:44 and I realized it was down at 8:32:56PM I hardly access the website when I’m at work that’s why I wasn’t given urgent notice of the situation. I failed to change my alert notice for Hotmail, so again I did not receive the notice of suspension from my host. So what happened?
My other domain which I’ve been planning to resurrect was hacked because of my negligence towards it. I did not pay attention to the site and without knowing, the scripts running in it were compromised. Because the script showed the path and other critical information of the server, the intruder was able to upload his phishing scripts. Luckily, a concerned netizen reported the phishing activity to my host and my host immediately acted on the situation that caused temporary lockdown of the whole account. As you may know, only one account hosts all my domains, so a series circuit is always at play.
I’ve had a few encounter with my site being locked down without me knowing instantly. It’s not because of incapability in my host’s part. They inform me instantly. It’s on my part that’s slacking. I need to device an instant notification system if my site goes down without having to use a SmartPhone. And for that, you may want to stay tuned because you may be able to use it in the future.
I’ve been looking for a decent digital copy of this song. If you or anyone you know has a copy, I would be very grateful to you… Found it myself :)
Words by Jess Santiago
Si Lina ay isang magandang dalaga
Panggabi sa isang pabrika ng tela
Sumapi sa unyon, sumama sa welga
Biglang nagkagulo, nawala si Lina
Nang muling makita’y hubad at patay na
Halina, halina
Damitan ang bangkay
At sa ating puso’y
Hayaang humimlay si Lina
Isang magsasaka si Pedrong Pilapil
Walang kaulayaw kundi ang bukirin
Ngunit isang araw, may biglang dumating
Ang saka ni Pedro’y kanilang inangkin
Tumutol si Pedro at siya ay binaril
Halina, halina
At sa ating puso’y
Hayaang maghasik
Ng punla si Pedrong Pilapil
Sina Aling Maria’y doon nakatira
Sa tabi ng isang bundok ng basura
Ngunit isang araw, binuldoser sila
Sapagkat darating ang mga turista
Nawalan ng bahay ang isang pamilya
Halina, halina
At sa ating puso’y
Ipagtayo ng tahanan
Sina Aling Maria
