Last Minute Reaction Paper sucks!

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:36:58 GMT

I just want to share with you my reaction paper on our major subject Psychopathology. The movie we've watched is "Beautiful mind" (i forgot the director).. Actually, we were not able to finish watching it in our class hours but luckily, i had the chance to watch it on You tube. It's a nice movie, very dramatic i guess.. And if you haven't seen this movie, you'll miss half of your life hehe..

BEAUTIFUL MIND

John Nash, an incomparable math genius student from Princeton University who definitely amazed the minds of people he meets. For me, he is an extraordinary person having a broad and an odd imagination as well. Unfortunately, he suffers from a mental illness called schizophrenia which he doesn’t even know himself. His friends find him weird or likely a nerd, but still they try to make friends with him. Nash tried to communicate and interact with them but in the end, it’s like there’s something that bothers him, some kind of paranoia that leads him to stay away and find himself alone and unconsciously creating things that aren’t really there (hallucination) and believing things that aren’t really true (delusion). Like for example, an imaginary friend which is known to be Charles (his room mate) and Charles’ niece. It’s odd but I strongly believe that all the things kept from his subconscious mind releases through Charles and other delusions his mind creates.

As years passes without knowing that he has such mental illness, Nash have invented some kind of Mathematical formula (equilibrium) which become popular and it startled me. He graduated and become a professor in Mathematics and romantically involved with his hard working student named Alicia and they even got married. But his illness turned out to be worse than I thought; his delusions become rigorous and more uncontrollable by his mind. He even believed that he’s been hired to work to the government to break codes. His other delusional product named Parcher, keeps on haunting him to work and to work which have caused him so much stress that made the symptoms worse. He keeps on believing that there’s a conspiracy, a mission by the government that will lead him to honor, but all of these are only in his mind.

From that moment, Great John Forbes Nash Jr. turned out to be a Paranoid Schizophrenic. Lucky for him to have a wife like Alicia who cared for him and didn’t leave him in the middle of crisis. She didn’t give up his husband and continued helping him to recover, even though they experienced a lot of trials. She almost lost her faith but still she believed in Nash that he will overcome such disease. I really admire her bravery, and I think every woman in our society should look up to her.

Nash continued his medication and deal with his delusional state. And it made me wonder, because according to my belief, “real mentally abnormal person doesn’t even know that he/she is not normal”. But in Nash’s case, how come he realized that he’s suffering from this illness and he can even stay away from his delusions? I don’t know but all I know are risks that may happen if you pay no attention to this illness. Without medication and therapy, they are unable to function in the real world. If they fall victim to severe hallucinations and delusions, they can be a danger to themselves and those around them.

Schizophrenia usually develops gradually, although onset can be sudden. These were the symptoms that Nash have: Confusion, Inability to make decisions, Hallucinations, doesn’t eat regularly and lack of sleep, Delusions, Nervousness, Indifference to the opinions of others, A tendency to argue A conviction that he is better than others, or that people are out to get him. Fortunately, he was able to cop with his Paranoia and lived a simple life, he even got the Nobel Prize he ever wanted because of his genuine mind.

Until now, the causes of schizophrenia are still under debate. A chemical imbalance in the brain seems to play a role, but the reason for the imbalance remains unclear. Hopefully, medical professionals and Psychiatrists were able to diagnose such disease. There is no cure, but the disorder can be controlled with medications and severe attacks may require hospitalization. So people must have faith in work of Science and especially to God.

FOR HIM..

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 01:18:32 GMT

These lyric poem is dedicated to someone i'll never forget, someone who gave life to me, someone i loved and someone
i treasure for the rest of my life..

FIRST LOVE

Love is as strange as the imprints of the mind
It's been a year since i left you but it still haunts me now..
Are you happy of what you really are?
You've been too selfish and drowned by your desperate life..

You are the one who made me feel so insecure
You should have chosen the right decision earlier..
Yes, you are the one who made me feel like I'm hanging on a thread of time,
unknowingly when will you ever return..

You were my first insanity, my first love..
I shouldn't have seen your pretending face from the start..

For Him Song..

You woke me up by your silence
You can't fake the pain you feel
I can see you're almost dying

Now promises seems so far away
I can't take what pain you feel
And our love is almost dying

Look at me,
and see beyond what's beautiful in me
Look at us,
Oh when will you ever learn?
We're running out of time..

Oh love, set it free.. Come back for me
And I'll guarantee, YOU'LL BE SAFE WITH ME..
No, i can't wait forever, i won't wait forever
Won't you come back for me..

Father and I

Great MoyMoyPalaboy, superstar.. - from moymoypalaboyproductions.com

MANILA, Philippines—The latest YouTube sensation is not a singer in the usual sense, but two Pinoy lip-synching siblings, whose uproarious antics have earned them fans worldwide, including Peter Cetera of the famous 1970s group, Chicago.

The novelty music video act that is Moymoy Palaboy debuted on the Internet in February 2007, purely on a whim. “Trip lang, gusto lang naming makita sarili namin sa YouTube,” says James Ronald Obeso, a.k.a. Moymoy.

Since then, it has a garnered a total of 7.12 million hits for 22 uploaded videos.

Shy bro, not!

At first, James had difficulty convincing Rodfill, his younger brother, who was very shy. But when Rodfill finally said yes, deciding to wear a bushy wig to hide his identity, the act proved to be a rib-tickling bombshell waiting to explode.

Using a Sony Ericsson W810i cell phone with a 2-megapixel camera — and with Rodfill editing the footage on an HP laptop — the first Moymoy Palaboy video, ‘N Sync’s “Dirty Pop,” featured only James.

Response to the next videos was phenomenal. Netizens couldn’t resist the way the boys put a twist to lip-synching, a refreshing update on the art of theatrical spoof. Giving their work a natural, raw appeal was the fact that the video was shot in austere surroundings, the cramped living room of their Pasay City apartment, with their aunt (“Mama Auntie”) casually wandering in and out of the frame.

So far, the most-watched Moymoy video is the brothers’ versions of the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe,” currently with more than 2 million hits. The rest are not far behind, viewed by the hundreds of thousands. Rodfill says they have upgraded from camera phone to a Nokia N73; and that he now edits on a new Acer laptop.

James notes that there are currently 7,400 subscribers to Moymoy’s YouTube account; these are the ones who spread the word. But who really are the guys behind Momoy Palaboy?

James, who turns 25 on July 17, was the male lead vocalist in a cover band, Passionista, which regularly performs here and abroad. James has been to Japan and Malaysia with the band, which is due to leave next week for a stint in Singapore. He opted not to join this time around, because Moymoy Palaboy has just been offered two hot gigs on cable and free TV.

Rodfill, 22, describes himself as “a nerd, the researcher” who loves to play computer games and tinker with electronic gadgets.

The brothers went to the same public elementary and high schools in Pasay where they were born. For college, they attended the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. James, a Broadcacting major, dropped out to find a job and help his mother, who was stricken with breast cancer. (She died in 2006.) Rodfill finished a Business Management course and now works as an in-house sales rep in PLDT.

Fastfood roots

Before becoming a band singer, James sweated it out as a fast food attendant. One day he auditioned for ABS-CBN’s “Star in a Million” singing contest, running into Christian Bautista and asking him for directions. The way James narrates how he fared sounds as funny as any Moymoy video: “Binigyan ako ng card , number 3 raw ako. Pina-line up kami… nung tinatawag na isa-isa…1, 2, biglang lumaktaw, 4 agad. Hindi ako natawag. Kailangan pala du’n pogi ka…”

James may look as ordinary as the neighborhood bums in Pasay, but it’s the least of his worries now. Moymoy Palaboy has crossed over to mainstream television, joining GMA 7’s “Bubble Gang” where it reprises its gags in the segment, “Iyo Tube.” It is also set to have its own short segments on MTV Philippines.

GMA and MTV wanted Moymoy so bad, they both offered the duo a talent management contract. The two giant networks are now Moymoy’s management partners.

Invitations to guest on other TV stations have been turned down, for now, to preserve the mystique and cult appeal of a music-driven act whose real voices are not heard.

The brothers are overwhelmed by the diversity of fans who regularly communicate with them on the Net. “Maraming taga-Mexico, meron din sa Colombia, UK, US lalo na sa California, at Canada,” says James.

Just last Saturday, he adds, an American member of the audience at Bedrock, where Passionista was playing, approached James and said his brother was a “big fan.” He introduced himself as John Cetera, and said his brother was Peter Cetera of the 1970s pop-rock group Chicago (who, it turned out, was also in town, incognito).

The Obeso brothers have added several communication lines because the fans have been engaging in discussions on the following social-networking sites: Multiply, Facebook, MySpace and Friendster. “Napilitan kami, kasi ‘pag Ginoogle mo ang Moymoy Palaboy, maglalabasan sa mga sites na yan,” says Rodfill.

How do they choose which song to spoof? “Depende sa trip,” James replies. “At kung ano ang gusto ng tao,” Rodfill adds. “Yung ‘Low’ at Soulja Boy, request ng fans.”

As Moymoy Palaboy breaches its 15-minute brush with fame, the brothers are nonchalant about the prospects of getting rich. “Kung ano kami dati, ganito pa rin naman kami,” Rodfill says. “Basta ako,” James quips, “nakahubad pa rin sa kanto.”
