Oh surREAL!

Hi. I'm Fei, and these are just a collection of random thoughts and creations from my wandering mind. :) After all, everything in this life dose feel Oh surREAL! ;)

Ika-26 ng Pebrero, 2017 Mula sa isang nakakapagod na namang linggo sa paaralan, sa wakas, wikend na. Makakapagpahinga na ulit ako. At sa wikend na ito, ibang pahinga ang gagawin ko. Pahingang hindi nakakulob sa apat na sulok ng aking kwarto, kung ‘di pahinga sa isang malayong lugar kasama ang pamilya ko. Tara na sa Bataan! Sa wakas! Ajenda sa araw na ito: ·          Gumising nang maaga, kailangan bago mag ikapito ng umaga ay nakaalis na ng bahay. ·          10am – kailangan ay nasa Sinagtala na sa Orani, Bataan para sa maagang selebrasyon ng kaarawan ni Tito Danny ·          11am-11:30am – oras ng kain at kwentuhan bago mag-ikot sa lugar ·          11:30-2pm – oras ng pag-iikot at paliligo sa mga pool (maaaring pumili kung ano man ang gustong unahin) ·          2pm – umahon na at magbanlaw ·          3pm-6pm—oras muli ng kwentuhan at pag-iikot hanggang lumubog ang araw ·          6:30pm—uwian na J Sinagtala.

There are deceptions all around society: from the actress that promised there was no surgery involved in her youthful face at the age of 50 to the politician that said he will rid the country of drugs in 6 months. There is always deceit present. But when we look at society nowadays, like the scenes in The Breakfast Club, we can assume that people actually like being deceived. People like being deceived through the formation of stereotypes in society—putting people into boxes of supposed facts that society perceives to be appropriate and true. Things are not always as they seem; same goes with people, especially when you look at them through the eyes of society. Stereotyping is deceit, and when the time comes an individual rejects

Encountering Emmanuel Levinas and his Philosophy of the Face in class made three striking realizations come into mind: First, a person’s face will always be a person’s face. Emotions may trigger certain contortions on it, but it will always be a person’s face. It will always serve as a frontline to his identity. The expressive eyes, the lopsided smile, the wrinkles, the scars, the blemishes—all of it him. Even though people are taught to look beyond the physical aspects of an individual, there will always be a sliver of realization that what you actually see is what you actually get. A person’s face will always be a person’s face. People aren’t just dolls with switchable heads—putting on a new one when you’ve already gotten bored of the old one. People have their own irreplaceable, unique, and individual faces—irreplaceable, unique, and individual identities. Second, the eyes aren’t the windows to the soul, the face is. The eyes are very expressive, People can tell a lo
