Limits And Boundaries

If people finally accomplish the so-called freedom then watch out because you're gonna get shot. Never ask questions like "Why the fish did you shoot me?!" because they'll end up saying "It's freedom bebeh" and shoot you multiple of times. You die.

R.I.P.

I grew tired when I go blog walking around. People say stuff like this is my blog I can do whatever I want, curse or swear or post up humiliating pictures of others, I don't care this is my blog, my diary, my territory, if you don't like what I write click the red cross button, you don't have the right to tell me off because this blog is mine bla bla bla bla and the list is endless.

Give me a break. Seriously, grow up and face the fact that you can write whatever you want but there are limits you know.

Readers, true or not?

THE PEARL: Kino's Epic Failure

I read some of The Pearl today. Can't be helped that it's required for our SPM. (-__-)

I want to complain, so before that, let me warn you. Don't read if you haven't read the book. Major spoilers ahead. But if you insist, I simply cannot stop you.


---

I DESPISE KINO!!! OMG! AND I HAVE GOOD REASONS FOR NOT LIKING HIM EVEN ONE BIT!!!

First of all, he is a moron. And because of his stupidity, his family had to go through many hardships that's not even worth for a stupid pearl. (Yes, the pearl's also a moron. But it's not alive so Kino's the moron here)

Kino is the wimpiest character I have ever read. He is so stupid that I even wonder why Steinbeck (you know, The Pearl's writer and why on earth I bother remembering his name) managed to pass this story to his editor (if he even had an editor). His character, I'll give him one star over a hundred (I'm already sympathizing).

#1 He is an indecisive protagonist. Doesn't stand on his own decision and only follows what other people say.

'He would not come,' the people in the yard said.
'He would not come,' the people in the door said, and the thought got into Kino.

'The doctor would not come,' Kino said to Juana

Dammit! Your son got stung by a scorpion, for god's sake!! Your wife told you to get a doctor! Go get it! OMG! You are so stupid!! And don't say such a negative reply! At least, tell your dear wife that you guys will go to the doctor, if you already registered in your head that the doctor's not coming! Don't let your wife point it out first. God! Aren't you a man?!

#2 He tries to look cool by hurting himself. EPIC FAIL.

"Then, without warning, he struck the gate a crushing blow with his fist. He looked down in wonder at his split knuckles and at the blood that flowed down between his fingers."

Moron, if you are so pissed off, do something relaxing like shouting on the beach. Don't add the burden of treating another wounded person to your wife. She already had Coyotito to worry.


Starting from this point, I stopped reading it. The rest's extracts are taken from the novel summary.


#3 He stupidly announced the pearl he had in possession by screaming loudly.

"Kino is immensely happy about both the pearl and Coyotito and yells loudly enough that he attracts the attention of the other oyster divers, who race toward his canoe."

OMG! I am speechless on what to say! That's probably the stupidest act he could pull off. If he didn't yell like some stupid brat, then the bad people wouldn't be after them!

#4 He got tricked TWICE by an equally stupid doctor.

"The doctor visits Kino and Juana and tricks them into allowing him to treat Coyotito even though Kino knows that Coyotito is already cured; in fact what the doctor has done is to make Coyotito sick so that the doctor can then cure the baby and get paid more."

WHAT THE FISH?! YOU KNEW THAT THAT DOCTOR'S NASTY AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED. HE REFUSED TO TREAT COYOTITO AND HE DESPISE YOUR RACE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! YET YOU LET HIM CURE YOUR ALREADY CURED SON!? @$#@^$$^%$&*&)^(_(*_p&^*e(e(^&)^*%^w$e&%^(!#$@fgh$#

"The doctor offers to keep the pearl for Kino, and Kino refuses the request, but the doctor tricks Kino into revealing where Kino has hidden the pearl."

(-___-)

Once a moron, always a moron.

#5 He's stubborn, in a completely stupid way.

"Juana senses that the pearl is evil and begs Kino to throw the pearl back into the sea, but Kino refuses, believing still that the pearl will give them better lives than they have."

Don't ever doubt a woman's instinct. But morons always do.

#6 He doesn't know how to assess a human life's value.

"Later, Juana rises in the dark, takes the pearl from the hut, and goes to the beach. Kino follows her and catches up with her at the beach just as she is ready to throw the pearl into the water. He hits her and saves the pearl from going into the water."

OMG!! What's more important to you?! YOUR WIFE OR THAT DAMN PEARL?! And you hit her so hard that she was out cold!!? DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO THAT?! JUANA! YOU SHOULD JUST LEAVE THAT GUY! HE'S NO GENTLEMAN!

#7 He is surprisingly ignorant.

"Kino continues to believe that the pearl is not something evil but instead offers a more promising future for him and his family."

OK, let me get this clear for you. You were attacked in your hut, then you got attacked on the beach, then you woke up with a corpse beside you, then your hut, your only dwelling place got on fire. YOU SHOULD JUST REALIZE THAT THE PEARL IS EVIL! DON'T YOU KNOW?! IT'S OMEN! O-M-E-N!!! OMG! JUST LISTEN TO YOUR WOMAN DAMMIT!

#8 He wants to look badass by launching a killing spree

"The trackers arrive at the spring and make camp for the night. Kino, realizing that the trackers will discover them in the morning, vows to attack the trackers before the trackers attack he and his family. As he moves more closely to the trackers' campfire, one of the trackers who is keeping watch aims his gun toward where he has heard a cry in the night and fires his gun; Kino jumps on the tracker and kills him with his knife. Kino grabs the dead tracker's gun and shoots a second tracker. The third tracker scrambles away from Kino, but Kino shoots and kills this tracker as well. He then notices how quiet the night is. This quiet is punctured by the sounds of Juana's crying; Coyotito has been killed by the watcher's gunfire."

You weren't just a mere moron. But a sinful one. Don't make stupid vows that will get you regretting later. Especially vows of massacre. And your son's already dead by the way.

#9 He doesn't learn that banana growing twice is bad omen and history does repeat itself.

"He cocks his arm and throws the pearl as far out into the sea as he can; it sinks to the sandy bottom among the water plants."

I wouldn't be surprised if someone as moronic as Kino finds the pearl and repeats everything. At least, you gotta move on and sell the pearl and start a new life.

In conclusion, Kino's failure is on an epic scale.
John Steinbeck, you got OWNED.

A Good Kid Should Celebrate

Yay! Golden Holiday Sejarah, finished! I am so proud, 'cause I worked so hard for three days straight to finish this not-so-thick module. So far, I only did the sejarah one, and never touch other. But, rest assured! At least I am done with this troublesome module.

Hehe.. so you don't believe? I shall provide you with concrete proofs!

This is the cover page for the history module (Note that my name was blackened for privacy purpose). So simple, right? And so white and plain that I thought I will never touch it again.

This below is the very first page.

Above: What handwriting?

Yes, don't complain. My handwriting is always special and different from others. Okay, now I'm bragging.

For these three tormenting days, my right hand had suffered so much to write. In the end, my handwriting became inclined to the right side and more inclined and what do we say, Italic, yap. The alphabets of a word also became connected and cursive. (That's because I wanted to finish it fast and furious)

This is the last page. Well, can't say last though. It's the second last page, because I forgot to flip till the end when I started capturing it.

Bwahahaha! The 77th page. Got something you wanna say? >:)
Look how much my handwriting differed from the first page.

What is an accomplishment without celebration? Thus, I shall celebrate by rereading my favourite mangas!

Oh yeah, so far so good. But no! A big brother who had just regained his temporarily lost freedom, he gave me his junks!

My room had no place for it... so my bed took over... (ignore my messy bed please)

and lastly, happy news~


IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR 2010 SPM CANDIDATES: We can take 12 subjects next year!! Be happy 'kay? :)
here's the link to this happy news

Beauty In The Past

Beauty is part of us. You bet, who doesn't care about his appearance?

Since long, long time ago, humans are always chasing beauty. But, beauty? Does every era have the same opinion about beauty?

People of the past have weird definition of beauty. I cannot completely digress that sentence though. People in the 16th century thought Mona Lisa is the most beautiful woman on earth.

Look at this, and think deeply. What do you think about this woman called Mona Lisa? Is she beautiful?

Err.. no offense but.. I don't really think she is that beautiful. I mean, she has maggi-styled hair, doesn't have eyebrows, her face is plump, and she is.. er.. kind of.. fat.... She is ugly, absolutely. Oops! I said that. (Please don't attack me with flames saying that I don't know artistic value!)

But many say she is beautiful. I cannot understand that.

Hmmm... if you still think Mona Lisa is a praised beauty, read next.

In Heian Era, typical Japanese beauty was required to have small, pouty mouth (mulut muncung, typical expression when you are not satisfied with something or someone). Also, narrow eyes (mata sepet), small, thin nose, and round apple cheeks (equivalent to chubby) are also other requirements to be called a beauty in that era.

And what disgusts me is, Heian women used heavy rice powder to paint their faces and necks white. Oh god... that was so disgusting... the texture of the rice powder must be the same as bedak sejuk. I shivered at that thought...

Above: This one is beautiful, in a frightening way...

And that's not enough, they blackened their teeth with some black paint, in order to emphasize their white complexion.

$&^ #$@!)*aweasdgfgjglssafjdasd NOO!! Eww..

Oh yeah, I forgot. Heian women shaved off their eyebrows. So basically they didn't have eyebrows and draw their own.

Actually, I wanted to write more, but night is getting old already. So that's it. As of the ending, if the current us is saying beauty in the past is actually ugly, then the future generations might as well think the beauty in this current era is actually ugly.

I hope you get what I mean, it's somewhat complicated to say. Haha (-_-")

Well then, I guess natural beauty is still the best!
