Tips Bago Magpakamatay


Suicide
(Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the act of terminating one's own life.

Ngayong umaga, nag-online ako sa YM, and may nakita akong di kanais nais na bagay (larawan). Kaya ito naisipan kong ilagay ang mga malulupit na tips ni Pareng Bob Ong para sa mga tulad nyong ginagawang paraan ang suicide:

TIPS PARA SA LIGTAS, MAGINHAWA, AT DI MALILIMUTANG PAMAMAALAM.

1. Bago ang lahat, alamin muna ang tamang dahilan sa pagsu-suicide. Kung ang problema mo lamang ay dahil sa wala kang pera o iniwan kang minamahal mo, hindi ka dapat magpakatiwakal. Ang mundo ay tambak ng mga tao na pwede mong mahalin at ang pera ay pwede mong kitain, kaya hindi ka dapat mawalan ng pag-asa. Ang pagkitil sa sariling buhay ay KARAPATAN LAMANG ng mga taong gumagamit ng cellphone at nakikipagkwentuhan sa loob ng sinehan.

2. Kung desidido ka na sa gagawin mong pagpapakamatay at sa tingin mo meron kang tamang dahilan para gawin ito, ang susunod mong hakbang ayang pagpili ng PARAAN NG PAGPAPAKAMATAY. Ang mga popular naparaan ay ang pagbibigti, pag-inom ng lason, pagtalon sa riles ng tren, pagbaril sa ulo (o sa puso kung wala ka ng ulo pero buhay ka pa din) at paglaslas ng pulso. Ang mga jologs naman na paraan ay ang pagtalon sa EDSA at pagpigil ng hininga. Tandaan, maari kang mabuhay pag nagkamali ka sa pagsasagawa ng mga nabanggit, kaya pumili lamang ng isa na HIYANG sa 'yo. Bukod dyan, marami rin sa mga paraang ito ang MAKALAT at NAKAKA-PANGIT. Dyahe naman kung pagtitinginan ng mga tao yung mukha mo sa ataul tapos mukha kang dehydrated na langaw.

3. Sumulat ng suicide note. Ito ang exciting. Dito pwede mong sisihin lahat ng tao at wala silang magagawa. Sabihin mo na hindi mo gustong tapusin ang buhay mo kaso lang bad trip silang lahat. Pero wag din kakalimutang humingi ng tawad sa bandang huli para mas cool pag ginawa ni Carlo J. Caparas ang buhay mo. At tandaan, IMPORTANTE ANG SUICIDE NOTE para malaman ng mga tao na nagpakamatay ka nga at hindi na-murder. Sa ganitong paraan, maiiwasan ng PNP ang pagkuha sa kalye ng kahit sinong tambay bilang suspect.

4. Pumili ng THEME SONG. Banggitin ang iyong special request sa suicide note. Ipagbilin na pagtugtugin ito sa prusisyon ng iyong libing. IWASAN ang mga kanta ng Salbakuta. DAPAT MEDYO MELLOW at MEANINGFUL...tulad ng mga kanta ng Sexbomb.

5. Isulat ng MAAYOS ang suicide note. PRINT. Iwasang magbura. Gumamit ng scented stationary at #1 mongol pencil. Lagdaan. Wag gumamit ng sticker. Ilagay ang suicide note sa MADALING MAKITA. IDIKIT SA NOO.

6. PLANUHIN ANG ISUSUOT. Tandaan, minsan ka lang mamamatay, kaya dapat memorable ang get-up. Pumili ng mga telang di umuurong o

makati

sa katawan. Magbaon ng dalawang pares pampalit pag pinagpawisan ka.

7. Kumuha ng de-kalidad na ataul. Maganda ang kulay puti dahil malamig at kumportable kahit tag-init. Huwag magtipid. Mas makakamura kung bibili ng cable ready kesa magpapalit pa balang araw.

8. Pumili ng magandang pwesto sa sementeryo. Ang puntod ng mga taong ipinanganak sa year of the rat, dragon, rabbit, snake, tiger, chicken, pork, at beef ay dapat nakaharap sa Fiesta Carnival. Ang mga ipinanganak sa ibang taon ay dapat i-cremate at gawing foot powder para gumaan ang pasok ng pera.

9. Itaon ang araw ng libing sa unang dalawang linggo ng buwan o di kaya'y huling dalawang linggo para gumaan ang pasok ng pera.

10.Kung meron ka ng NBI, at police clearance, affidavit of loss, voter's ID, promissory note, original copy of birth certificate, at urine sample, pwede mo ng isagawa ang kalugod-lugod na gawain. Siguraduhin lang na di ka mababalita sa tabloid katabi ng mga article tungkol sa kabayong tatlo ang ulo, at sirenang namataan sa Manila Bay.

Social Experiment


People's behavior in groups is fascinating and frequently disturbing. As soon as humans are bunched together in groups we start to do odd things: copy other members of our group, favour members of own group over others, look for a leader to worship and fight other groups.

But think about the types of groups you belong to, and you'll realize they differ dramatically. Some groups are more like soldiers in the same unit or friends who have known each other from childhood. Long-standing, tight-knit, protecting each other. Perhaps it's not surprising people in these groups radically change their behaviour, preferring members of their own group over others in many ways.

Other groups, though, are much looser. Supporters of a large sports club, for example, or work colleagues only together on a project for a few months or even a group of people in an art gallery appreciating a painting.

It seems impossible that people stood together for only 30 seconds to look at a painting can be said to form a group in any measurable way. Surely it's too fleeting, too ephemeral?

They believed it was possible for a group, along with its attendant prejudices, to form at the drop of a hat. In fact they thought a group could form even when there was no face-to-face contact between members, none of the people knew each other and their 'group' behaviour had no practical consequences. In other words they had absolutely nothing to gain (or lose) from this barely existent group.

Reference : Tajfel

Agree ako. Simple lang naman yan, for me a person's identity only has meaning in relation to others. I can only know myself through my relations with others. The more immature I am, the more I restrict my 'in' group and favour them over the larger 'out' group. As I grow and mature, and become (I hope) more secure in my identity, the more I can feel safe to enlarge my 'in' group to include more and more of what I would previously have regarded as the 'out' group I would 'need' to avoid rejection from others. Reading this made me realize that now seems so quite obvious. When faced with uncertainty over a certain choice i have to make, i look upon the choices others made in a similar condition, parang kung ano ang uso, kung anong meron ang mga kasama ko, dun na din ako.

Well I guess the desire to join a group is just that: a desire. It isn't the result of thinking about possibilities or rewards or consciously/subconsciously deciding what is best for them. We feel better if we are part of a large, successful group. We enjoy when the members of the group are happy and (shamefully) we enjoy when members of "them" suffer. All the other stuff is merely a consequence of this.

Schmetterling

Im back at blogging. Why Schmetterling? Well basically i love butterflies, and it gave me the idea for my new blog. Why back at blogging? Basically to practice my English. Gusto ko talaga mahasa ang pagsasalita ko ng English, or kahit sa pagttype lang. Ahahaha! Okay naman kahit taglish diba?

Germany has a very unique belief about butterflies. As butterflies can often be found hovering about milk pails or butter churns, they have become associated with witches trying to steal the cream.


The German word for butterfly is "Schmetterling", which is actually derived for the Czech word "Smetana" which means "cream".

We are all small and appear to be the same(like the catapillar), but as we grow older our true beauty shows (like the butterfly). Like a butterfly, we are all different, and beautiful in our own way. In the Christian religion, the metamorphosis a butterfly undergoes is symbolic of the spiritual evolution all Christains go through. In ancient mythology, the butterfly stands for wisdom and everlating knowledge.

Right now I'm really loving this quote, and gusto kong idedicate to sa mga taong walang alam kundi tignan ang ginagawa ng ibang tao.


"You laugh at me because i am different, I laugh at you because your all the same."
