Life Updates:
How my August has been? It's been pretty mundane. You know, that usual day to day activities of an unemployed person. However, I tried to insert a little bit of physical exercises in between: when I wake up in the morning, before I sleep in the evening, and sometimes when I'm alone at home. Also, in the middle of this month, I tried cutting off sugar, fats, and meat as much as I can, because of what I thought a gallstone attack, or is it? Anyway, I'm back on my usual diet, except I'm planning to never eat pork and to really cut off sugar (as much as I can) *fingers crossed* because as much as I don't want to admit, I have a sweet tooth! There I said it. I've been lying all these years telling people and even myself that I enjoy savoury foods more than sweet. Wow, now that's an unsolicited confession right there. Also I've finished 2 books in this month, which was both Colleen Hoover's and which I'm very proud of because it's been a while since I last read a novel, although I never stopped reading, I read webtoons regularly, and sometimes blogs and articles from National Geographic. Another thing, me and my family have been watching this chinese drama on ptv channel! I particularly don't like watching tv nowadays because 1st, I hate filipino teleseryes, it's either about infidelity or about even more serious problems where all they say are just nasty words you don't wanna ever hear again and again, and 2nd because it's a waste of time and energy. But this chinese drama titled "Jimao" or "Feather Flies to the Sky" starting to grow on me and wouldn't want to skip an episode. I usually hate tagalog subbed shows, but I like this one. Since I don't have a job yet, I'm trying my best to make my day a bit more productive by reading, drafting blog posts that no one likes to read, applying for a job, and fixing my almost 10 year old netbook, which I haven't gotten to fix yet. It's actually stressing me out! I don't like the feeling of leaving something unfixed. It even get through in my dreams, or should I say nightmare. Music: Know.

It's old news but it's new to me. Guess what? It's just a random video that I came across while browsing through my youtube home feed, and it's about HOMUNCULUS! From Wikipedia A homunculus (/hoʊˈmʌŋkjʊləs/; Latin for "little person") is a representation of a small human being. Popularized in sixteenth-century alchemy and nineteenth-century fiction, it has historically referred to the creation of a miniature, fully formed human. The concept has roots in preformationism as well as earlier folklore and alchemic traditions. I don't know if it's real or fake but all I know is that it's freaking crazy! I don't know if y'all are already familiar with it but this guy on youtube attempted to create a homuculus by injecting I don't know whose sperm it was from into a chicken egg. Yes, a chicken egg. He sand papered the egg shell to thin it out a little bit so he could insert the syringe into the shell without cracking it and then he taped it up and wrapped it and stored it in a cool and dark place. Days or weeks later, he cracked the egg open and voila an allegedly homunculus came out! It doesn't look anything like human or chick. It looks disgusting! But it moves like it's real. Some says it's edited, some tries to do it and got the same result. I don't know which is true but I just want to share it here with you how crazy people can get. Imagine, messing up with a sperm and chicken egg. Another thing I've learned was about Schizophrenia. I didn't know before much about it. Actually, I think I was misinformed about it. I thought it was about insanity. I thought it was another term for being crazy. After researching about it, I felt so ashamed of myself to be thinking that way for a long time. Until now, I don't know everything about it but I've learned that people suffering from it are struggling so much. They can't recognize what's real from not during the attacks. Some experiencing hallucinations and delusions. I've watched a bunch of videos on youtube about what it feels like to live with Schizophrenia and I was so freaked out by the fact that someone has to live with it or not. Some says they can hear voices inside their heads telling them to do bad things and they're struggling to fight those voices because they know it's bad and they were wondering why those voices were telling them to it anyway. Some says it's like you're in a coffee shop where a bunch of people are talking but instead of conversations they can hear voices saying "you're stupid" and nasty things. Then there's this little girl who is seeing lots of hallucinations and one of it is Seven. Seven because she literally can see the number 7 moving and talking like it's no big deal. Then this woman who can see a clown like the one on IT. She said she was scared when she saw it. I MEAN THAT'S REALLY SCARY! She also can see a knife stabbing her on the face. She basically can see creepy things. I was wondering, what if those people who can see "ghosts" are not really seeing it but actually suffering from a similar condition or it's the other way around. I don't mean to sound so ignorant or to offend anyone it was an honest thought. Anyway, I hope society will become more aware of different mental illnesses and be mindful of other people who might be suffering from those. Those people living with Schizophrenia, sometimes, aren't aware that they are inflicting harm to themselves, so they need more people who are well-educated about their condition to help them deal with it. I salute them for being brave and for choosing to live with it notwithstanding the struggle! That's all for the month of August. See you a next time!
