"Life in Stop Motion."

I always wondered if we could run our lives in frames. As if we were a game running on some low-end laptop. Or some video lagging due to bad graphics cards. What if we could stop on a frame so we could change the things that could've been the cause of what's happening today?

Maybe. Just maybe.

 I've written this because I have been editing our advertisement (which is kinda creative, in stop motion, duh) and it's been kinda fun so far. What's not fun is that we need to submit this on or before Saturday. IT'S RUSH TIME.

But let's focus on our topic -- what if life were altered by constant pauses, turning each vision into frames, and slowly we see how things change. One by one. Imagine a clay model moving through each frame -- slowly, some details of that clay model are modified, changed and positioned differently. In each frame, there's a scenery. In the whole clip of all those frames; they tell a story.

Timelapses may tell the growth of something as time goes by. But that is not stop motion. Stop motion has the word "stop" signaling that it is made up of a bunch of pauses and stops, and once these frames and stops are connected to each other, they form stop motion.

 If life was in stop motion, each scenery could mean a thing.

 Maybe if we had stop motion, we would have more time to make decisions and not pick the wrong choice? Maybe, we could have given ourselves a better life. Maybe we wouldn't make the world living hell as it already is...

What if life was in stop motion?

discombobulated. *2018 year review 👏👏*

Image
Right here is a picture of me sitting down on the floor missing the bench for sitting, missing its sole purpose. Discombobulated. adjective  // upsetting feeling; confusion. No, I didn't think of a deep word just to make the whole thread seem fancy and all. Besides, it has become one of my favorite words since it basically just defines me, and to what I feel today. As I'm writing the thoughts of my mind while waiting for the reply of someone I care about, I perhaps just wrote this piece for the sake of extracting what bothers me in my mind right now. It has been quite a ride this year. No, not because I cut me and my old friend's means of communication and ending up with a thin-yet-sophistical-chance of actually feeling happy, well, as it looks like it does. Geez, when will they ever make the next part of this movie? This has been in my head for the rest of 2018. Happiness? I wouldn't know. I would watch all the MCU movies within a week and I could...

My Last Love Letter.

ft. a lot of noteable people, but mostly, you. ready your tears, I guess? 😅 Sorry I couldn't write you a real letter this time, bud. My schedule is too tight for me to plug you in. I'll make it up to you for the rest of the school year, I promise. Yet, you owe me. A meetup, a video call, and an ice cream. Or maybe never mind, I'm sure you wouldn't make the same effort I keep on doing, so, carry on. But I won't go there. I won't.. I am so, so, sorry ☹ I was the reason why you lost most of your friends within a blink of an eye. It's my fault. Trust me, we'll make a way to keep you close to people you could trust. Your friends will be there for you, I promise... They got your back while I'm not the one who's around for you. I too, am sorry for not trying to have your back despite you losing your friends. I didn't know what to do. To be honest, I didn't know that time if I should still love you but as it turned out that night, I w...

Iskolar ng Bayan.

Ngayon ay lumalaban! Well, as they quote it in here. This university is huge! (literally) There's literally places for you to walk to, heck, why take the jeep when you could go for the long walk? That's my workout, well, now. Kaya siguro napapansin nila mama na napayat na ako. Hey! It's been a while since I wrote something about myself. Yes, I know summer is over and all that shit — pero you got to move on. I quote Captain America on it too, " the world is in our hands, " so ayon, we got to do something about it. Sorry! Sabog ako habang tinatype ko to. I have 2 projects due next week, too. So, what's up with me these days? Why haven't I been writing for 9 months? Well, it was clearly nothing. Clearly , as I would like to say about it, to be honest. With that being said, this is how I became an Isko, which made me be the man who I am, today. Let's get started. August 2018. I was curious about the courses that my classmates and friends wou...
