Malayang Pagsulat. Escriba Libremente. Hi, my name is Asseya. Currently residing in Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat. Some people call this province scary, but I live here, anyway. I love tumblr so much and I know you do, too. So lets start tumbling together. :)

 

Top 10 strangest phenomena of the mind

1. Deja vu

Deja vu is an experience of having seen or experienced a new situation previously. It feels like if the event has already happened before. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of paradox or bizarre. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a constant feeling that it really has happened in the past.

2. Deja Vecu

Deja vecu is what most people experience when they think they are having a deja vu. Deja vu is when one has a feeling that he has seen something before, whereas deja vecu is an experience of having seen an event before, but with great detail as to recognize the smells and sounds. This also is usually accompanied by a very strong sense of knowledge about what will happen next.

3. Deja senti

Deja senti is a phenomenon of having already felt something. The phrase “I have felt it before” perfectly captures deja senti. It is only a mental phenomenon and seldom remains in our memory later. Many epileptic patients often experience deja senti.

4. Deja Visite

Deja visite is a less common experience and includes an unexplained knowledge of a new place. For example, you may know the location around you (a new city or a landscape) although you have never been there before.

5. Jamais Vu

Jamais Vu describes a familiar situation that we do not recognize. It is often considered to be the opposite phenomenon of deja vu. The observer does not recognize the situation although it is known that he has experienced it before.

6. Presque Vu

Presque Vu is very similar to the feeling in the “tip of the tongue”. When someone is ready to say something but his brain gets stuck and a word does not come out.

7. L’esprit de l’escalier

L’esprit de l’escalier is when a smart thought comes to you when it is too late.

8. Capgras Delusion

Capgras Delusion is a phenomenon when a person believes that a close friend or a family member has been replaced with an identically looking one. This illusion is often met in people with schizophrenia.

9. Fregoli Delusion

Fregoli Delusion is a rare brain phenomenon which makes a person believe that different people are the same person in various disguises.

10. Prosopagnosia

Prosopagnosia is a phenomenon in which a person is unable to recognize faces of people or objects he knows. People who have this disorder are usually able to use the other senses to identify individuals, such as the person’s perfume, the sound of his voice or his hairstyle.

To Teens Who Think Love is Everything

Hey! I’m pretty sure you hate being reprimanded. You may think older people just don’t get you, that they’re trying to pry too much in your life. You probably take a lot of crap from your parents or other family members, and I know hearing it from a stranger makes it absurd.  I can’t promise to take it easy on you, but I’ll try to be as “cool” as possible.

I’m writing this because I’ve recently heard this story about a 13-year-old taking camp on his 15-year-old boyfriend’s apartment because she apparently had had enough of her parents’ scolding. She was gone for three days. Her mother went to the guy’s apartment and started lashing about, but the girl was nowhere to be seen. Turns out, she was hiding somewhere in the rooms (beats me how her mother didn’t find her), and her mind was set—she wanted to live with her boyfriend. Because she ‘loved’ him more than her family.

You see, love is blinding. Or the idea of it anyway. If someone tells you “I love you”, you’d feel elated, especially when you like the person saying those words. No matter your age, when you have that certain warm feeling inside when you hear sweet nothings, you’d probably have only one explanation for it: LOVE.

That’s where the trouble sets in. What is love, really? How can you be sure if you really love a person? 

When I was your age, I was more like a kid than a teenager. I may have been a late-bloomer. Sure I had crushes, and I’ve had the “falling-for-you” and “unrequited-love-oh-I’m-unlucky” phases. The only difference was that before, I had fun being a kid and didn’t have deeper problems other than getting 79 in our Filipino subject. Oh if I could only let you hear and see our playful conversations and compare it to what you have now. I see you kids (yeah, you’re still kids for me) anywhere and all I hear in your convo is how much you adore your boyfriends, how heartbroken you are because your crush has someone else, what you should do to get someone interested (“should I use more makeup??”). It makes my head pound like crazy. I mean, seriously?

Let me tell you about love. It’s not only rainbows and butterflies. Oftentimes, you and your loved one will disagree on stuff, and you have to work out your differences if you want to last. There is no real reason for loving someone. Some people can attest that love is like a striking force and there aren’t any words or physical attributes that will make you realize that it has stricken you. It just comes. Love, more than inspiration, will be like your guide to the future—it will shape your decisions. You do not take advantage of each other, but instead help each other become the best. Remember the verse from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

I am not a Christian, but this verse perfectly describes what I can tell you. Love can wait.

I don’t want to be self-righteous, but I will ask you, are you sure you really want to meddle with the world of love and the chaos that comes with it? You know, as much as we put this L-word in the highest pedestal, it isn’t everything. Love won’t pay the bills, money will. Love can never solve arguments, effort and understanding will. Love will not give you high grades, studying will.

I’m not saying you can’t have boyfriends or girlfriends, if you’re really into that sort of stuff. What I’m telling you is that you should think twice before making decisions this early. There are too many years for you to enjoy and waste if you want. Why insist on being in love when you can go for uncomplicated things like crushes? Being a kid entitles you to have lesser problems than adults have, and trust me, you would not want to have problems of 20 somethings. Leave it to the adults to have wrinkles and fine lines on their faces. Wait until you’re older, okay? I can relate to you, maybe more than your parents can because I have once been your age few years back. Right now I’d trade a day of my 21 years to be a teenager again if someone would offer it to me. It’s fun being a teen. Let love in only when you have had enough of crushes. Waste no tears in heartbreaks because your young heart can only take so much scars.

Being a teen an opportunity given by God that you should cherish because you only get to be one for a few years of your life. Live, laugh and love like a normal kid can.

“I want my personal life to be personal, and it’s not fucking true. And I don’t care if you’re talking about things that are true, you’re still talking about my personal life. How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were fucking, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?”

ehey. It’s been so long since I have written anything on any medium. Guess I’m just a little out of it. Okay, maybe a lot. There’s something big and bad bothering me lately. How will I be able to tell some people that I ‘m fed up with their pressure on me? They’re killing me and yet they still push me over the edge some more.
Tough point: I AM NOT AS GOOD AS YOU WANT ME TO BE.
So please, just give me some space.
