Holiday Hopeful!

'sup Tranq-ers?

Yeah, school's on a holiday break! Finally, a time of peace and ease of mind, as I don't have to study everyday anymore :P. The holiday's quite long, just about 12 days from now of pure relaxing and loafing around!!!

Well, I've got a lot to do this holiday, and I'll make sure I'll use every minute of it for fun! I'm gonna start with sports tomorrow, and just let my friends take me elsewhere ~_~
I have a very important task to make this holiday, that's trying to meet someone i haven't made in person before. Hope that it'll all go smoothly, and i will make an evenly important decision then.

That's all I can say now. School's out, enjoy it!

God Bless You!

New Account, Updates

Hey Tranq-ers.

Guess what, I have a google account now! I was so confused on how to export this blog to my gmail account, but then i decided to just add another author. Damn, that was simple.

Well, it's been a while since I last updated this blog. And it strikes as funny to me that I am almost always update my blog when I have an exam tomorrow. Well, can't deny that since SMAK 5 has its students take exams every day. Without Tuesday if we're lucky. So, it's very hard for me to keep updating as I'm not that extroverted anyways. Nevertheless, I'll keep my spirits up to write new posts :D

So, I'm a high school senior now. It's so fun being the top of the hierarchy! I mean, not to bully all those juniors, but you get that wow-he's-older-than-me-so-i-haveta-respect-him vibe. That's great! But the exams aren't. I mean, even Faraday would be pissed off if he had to do Chemistry exams every week!

Well, I wouldn't go on complaining coz it wouldn't be interesting for you guys to read rite? I've got math exam tomorrow, so I hope I'll get perfect marks! Oh, and we're going to have a school choir competition next wednesday. Hope we can synchronize our voices in time for the competition! Let us be the winner! God bless you all!

Going to Sydney!

Hello tranq-ers. It seems it have been quite some time since i last wrote on this blog.
Well, you have to blame my laziness for that, and also because i dunno what to write anyway.

So, i passed the eleventh grade. Yay. NOT. Time is quickly catching up on me, and decisions have to be made immediately. I want everything to be simple and stagnant, but life sometimes is a bitch.

Now is a crossroad. I am currently confused whether to study abroad or continue in Penabur. It have it's own advantages to study abroad, like living alone and refresh my adventurous sense, but i want to be in Penabur to stay with my friends. To put it simply, the current situation is like a bird at its first time flight off its nest. Whatever decision i made, it will definitely have an impact in my social life.

I may not be able to see my friends again. When I came back to Jakarta from studying abroad, I'm afraid they'll probably be sombong and ignorant. I don't want to leave my friends, at least not now. But, we all must end up getting separated in order to reach our dreams, right?

So, always dillema inside my mind. Hate it, love it, ignore it, whatever it is, it will come out eventually.

oh yeah, i'm planning to go to Sydney this 5th July. If all goes well, I'll be able to see the campus I'm going to study next October :D

The essence of mind-reading ~_~

Hey Tranq-ers. Kebetulan lagi gak ada kerjaan (or activity whatsoever)
So i'm gonna write XD

I am going to talk about mind reading. It's just an activity i like to do if I don't know something about people, coz they don't wanna talk about it. But, the truth is, I could already know what they're thinking about. Interesting, eh?

Well, there are many ways to interpret how you read other people's minds. But, I believe, in my own experience, that many things affect how I read people's mind, which is:

1. You have to get to know the person you're talking to first. If you know his/her characteristics first, it's easier for you to interpret his/her mind behaviour, resulting in, well, you could predict what they're thinking!
2. This kind of mind reading is quite special, not everybody can do it in my experience, and it IS NOT (baca: TIDAK) 100% accurate, so there is a possibility that what you're reading IS NOT what the truth.
3. Mind-reading is about perception, so if you don't have quite high *feeling* skills, well, you can't.
4. Mind reading is connected to Clairvoyance.

So, what is Clairvoyance. Clairvoyance (from 17th century French with clair meaning "clear" and voyance meaning "visibility") is the apparent ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through means other than the known human senses a form of extra-sensory perception. A person said to have the ability of clairvoyance is referred to as a clairvoyant ("one who sees clear").

You have to know, that mind reading is highly contradictional. Some people say that mind reading is just taking guesses, while some really believe the potential of mind reading. I, for one, am both scientific and skeptical. I believe that the brain is a very mysterious organ, in which scientist haven't yet found it's full potential.

There are many ways on how you draw information from people, object, and else. There are:

Clairsentience (feeling/touching)

In the field of parapsychology, clairsentience is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means of feeling. The word is from the French clair, “clear,” + sentience, “feeling,” and is ultimately derived from the Latin clarus, “clear,” + sentiens, derived from sentire, “to feel”.

In addition to parapsychology, the term also plays a role in some religions. For example: clairsentience is one of the six human special functions mentioned or recorded in Buddhism. It is an ability that can be obtained at advanced meditation level. Generally the term refers to a person who can feel the vibration of other people. There are many different degrees of clairsentience ranging from the perception of diseases of other people to the thoughts or emotions of other people. The ability differs from third eye in that this kind of ability cannot have a vivid picture in the mind. Instead, a very vivid feeling can form.

Psychometry is related to clairsentience. The word stems from psyche and metric, which means "to measure with the mind".

Clairaudience (hearing/listening)

In the field of parapsychology, clairaudience [from late 17th century French clair (clear) & audience (hearing)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires information by paranormal auditory means. It is often considered to be a form of clairvoyance.^[20] Clairaudience is essentially the ability to hear in a paranormal manner, as opposed to paranormal seeing (clairvoyance) and feeling (clairsentience). Clairaudient people have psi-mediated hearing. Clairaudience may refer not to actual perception of sound, but may instead indicate impressions of the "inner mental ear" similar to the way many people think words without having auditory impressions. But it may also refer to actual perception of sounds such as voices, tones, or noises which are not apparent to other humans or to recording equipment. For instance, a clairaudient person might claim to hear the voices or thoughts of the spirits of persons who are deceased. Clairaudience may be positively distinguished from the voices heard by the mentally ill when it reveals information unavailable to the clairaudient person by normal means (including cold reading or other magic tricks), and thus may be termed "psychic" or paranormal.

Clairalience (smelling)

In the field of parapsychology, clairalience [presumably from late 17th century French clair (clear) & alience (smelling)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means of smelling.^[21]

Claircognizance (knowing)

In the field of parapsychology, claircognizance [presumably from late 17th century French clair (clear) & cognizance (< ME cognisaunce < OFr conoissance, knowledge)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means of intrinsic knowledge. It is the ability to know something without knowing how or why you know it.

Clairgustance (tasting)

In the field of parapsychology, clairgustance is defined as a form of extra-sensory perception that allegedly allows one to taste a substance without putting anything in one's mouth. It is claimed that those who possess this ability are able to perceive the essence of a substance from the spiritual or ethereal realms through taste.

Confused? Well, it is confusing. Yet, by reading above. I could make the conclusion that I am Clairsentience. I am a very feeling person, and sometimes I know the personality of a person just merely by catching glimpse of his/her face. That's something, even though I study biology to an extent, that I couldn't explain.

The world is very interesting. Figures, coz the One who made it is VERY, VERY, INTERESTING. Thanks God, Your creation is simply OUTSTANDING!

Mid-semester Mess Up

Hey... Karena dibilang seseorang gw harus rajin" ngeblog, yah udah deh..

Quicky

Well I haven't had enough time (or desire) to write some new posts. Sorry I've been very busy, or lazy. It's quite the same hahaha.

Well, I would just make some quick minor updates bout my life:
1. I haven't taken the driver's license XD
2. I'm considering going to Canada ~_~
3. I'm having my mid-semester report card tomorrow X_X
4. I won the NMGBC without studying fufufu @_@

Well, that's about some of the topics i would like to talk about if i have time. There are also a lot more topics, yet i do not feel it necessary to be included, at least for now.

Till then~

Recovery feels so good.. if it is not only a mear illusion.

Hey guys. Got the feeling to write again. hahahaa

I understand now that philosophy is really quite peculiar. It made me think more about my life, and the purposes within it. The thirst to want to know more really dwells in me. I had practiced some of the knowledge in real life, and guess what, it works!

Today I'm just gonna discuss some of the mind-altering methods I learned. One of them is= the magic of smiling :).

Wait! Don't go like, "Pffff! What's this bullshit?". I'm not kid around, and just gonna say that it's true. Want proof?

First, when you're feeling down, try to smile. Doesn't it feel quite better when you smile? Well, the body works in mysterious ways (The one that created body itself was God, and don't argue with me that God's ways are sometimes quite mysterious either). If you were to smile, you could actually feel good. The body remembers your pattern of actions, and well, when is the most likely time for you to smile? When you FEEL good, right?

So, by smiling, we actually make our self feel a lot better. It's like mending the wound from inside. Peculiar, but it works. How our body works is very, very interesting. Actually, for me, learning this also build my religious values. I am able to admire how wonderful God's creation, thus worshiping Him more.

Ah my Lord, what great creation have you made that is I.

Impenetrable Barrier

Hi guys. It seems I have been caught with my assignments and stuffs. It really is a busy life.

I just want to say a couple of stuff here.

Do you know the four emotions? It is based on bodily humor, e.g. blood, bile, etc. There are Sanguine, Melancholic, Choleric,Phlegmatic. Sanguine is the people person, they work great in society. Melancholic is the sensitive type, they are very sensitive and emotional. Choleric is the leadership type, which sometimes could act very bossy. Phlegmatic is the "natural" type, yet mysterious and kinda make a barrier so that not everyone can get to know them better.

So, what am I? I guess I could describe myself as the Phlegmatic-Melancholic type, yet Phlegmatic dominates more. That's why it's weird, considering Phlegmatic and Melancholic has different personalities.

Some people that haven't gotten in touch with me for a long time could say I have changed. Yet, they do not know what my real personality is. Even I have problems deciphering it. That's why, if I asked someone by how have I changed, they also have problems to set it into words.

I could say that I am complex. Not everyone can understand me. That's why, sometimes they just got bounced back from my barrier. I have multiple layers of Barriers. People who have hard time to get through, often given up on trying. However, true friend never give up.

I guess this post is very confusing to read. This post represent how my mind's going through right now, confused and quite tired.

I will try at my very best to keep my friendship. However, if they have already given up, I could always try harder next time. Maybe it's my fault my Barrier's impenetrable.

Plus minus 3 jam menuju hari H

Well, kira" ada 3 jam menuju hari H.

hari H apa? Ultah gw tuh.... hwhwhw....

Masi bingung mau ngapain/gimana mau nerima ini. I mean, I'm 17 now. Greater oppurtinity followed by much greater responsibility. Banyak yang ngomong "Ciee yang ultah besok!", but I'm not sure how to answer. Do I look forward to it? Well, let's see.

Ini bakal menjadi ultah gw pertama kali yang ko" gw gak ada semua. FYI, i have 3 elder brothers. The fact that they are all abroad makes me draw a line which I have to accomplish too. It's something I have to accomplish.

Makanya, ultah ini ngingetin gw atas tanggung jawab gw, juga sama semua yang gw alamin dalam '08. Memang, tahun yang satu ini betul" membuat IMPACT sama gw. Yah, gw jadi sdikit merenung apa aja yang telah membuat gw berubah. Dan dari waktu itu juga membuat gw jadi ada perspektif baru ttg hidup.

Yah, gw sendiri masih bingung gw pengen apa. Jujur aja, gw expect nothing (kecuali ada yg mw beliin laptop? Hehehe). Tapi, gw betul" respect apa aja yang diberikan ^^)

well, sampe sini dulu deh. Masi mau merenung mau ngapain. hehehe

God Bless U!
Yours sincerely

Marco~

Catch Up.

Yah, sampai saat ini sekolah masi lumayan, belom ada yang bener" nyebelin. Gw harap sekolah gak terlalu menyita hidup gw yang "tranquilizing" ini =P.

Banyak rencana baru yang pengen gw raih. salah satunya adalah work out! Moga" aja bantal yang gw bawa tiap hari bisa hilang :D (Gonna miss it though~)
