So, imma try this QuickPress out~

If this blog is meant to be cold, as it’s winter in Korea in Seoul right now… what’s going to happen once spring thaws out?? And summer?

Advocate on Sociology

“You’ve got a SMILE that could light up this whole town~” – from “You Belong With Me ”

“Can you see the fishies in the air? Must’ve been a flying fish – ie~!” – remake of a section from “Today was a Fairytale”

— Both are songs by Taylor Swift, popular teen composer and singer. —

Sociology - the science of society, social institutions, and social relationships; specifically : the systematic study of the development, structure, interaction, and collective behavior of organized groups of human beings

This is a new word that I learned yesterday —

Here are my thoughts…

In order for a relationship to work, it must go in both directions. This is why when one has some strong affection towards the other, s/he strives to communicate to the other because they want to verify that they do have a relationship.

And from this principle, we can deduce that communication is one of the key factors in relationships, because this is really the only way for both individuals/groups to verify with each other.

I’d say I do have an interest in Sociology, which is so-called applied Psychology. And the act of organizing and describing subjects by purity goes on…

My experience goes back to when I used to live at the dorm at GSIS in middles school, where I rather randomly met and talked to another dormmate’s mom, who so happened to tell me that she was a sociology professor. I had no idea at all what that meant, as much as my curious mind pondered around the definition, even after she described it ever so breifly yet nonchalantly…

Experience is everything.

Just like how Phyiscs is applied Math,

our Future is our applied History.

2nd mvmt.: Vivaldi’s Summer

“The repose of his tired limbs is disturbed
By the fear of the lightning and fiery thunder,
And by a furious swarm of flies and wasps.”

There is one part of the 1st vln music that sticks in my head.

It’s in the second phrase where the first violins come in each time before the Presto accompaniment. It’s where the slurred noters end in the high B flat and C I think 2 times each, and those single note cadences just shimmer with glowing light all the way through my spine, brain stem, and to my frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes~ <3!

Revision: It’s in 6:30 – 7 in the video. The soloist however puts in some rather unneccessary ornaments in between the sustained notes…

Here’s a video as a visual.

Wonderful piece.

A lesson

e.mahler — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:04:58 +0000

It’s simple. It’s not really that hard to manage your time.

Cut out any distractions.

Be realistic and know the repercussions of your activities before you sleep. There’s only really 24 hours a day, minus the optimum 6-7 hrs o/sleep we should all get to ensure our teenage bodies and minds.

It helps to write a To DO list in a sticky note so that you orgainze what you have to do.

- And try and concentrate on what you really want to do right now in order to avoid sleep deprivation.

Last advice to myself? Regain concentration by posting my initiative and plans on my awesome blog.

DONE. I did it!

Post Script: Think of someone else living somewhere where the weather is warmer… in the same shoes as you who is actually DOING WORK.

A less metaphorical post

Help me out, guys, will you?

Ever felt this feeling…

when I get back from school after pulling an all-nighter the previous night, on a Sunday night, like a typical Korean…

where it feels like I am satisfied with all I need and everything that I’m doing

and there is this kind of awesome feeling sprinkled with sweets and spices~ …

I feel like jotting down and describing my thoughts, and gently expressing myself…

ANALYSIS from the perspective of the one who’s just experienced this:

I finished my Science Lab in the morning and at school, successfully handed it in to my teacher While thinking about my next period class, Spanish, I was getting all stressed out cuz I thought we wouldn’t do anything interesting and the class would just be a pain in the butt and making my tired day more exhausting…

…but the class turned out quite enjoyable! Thank you so much, Ms. S~! Well, everything was quite happy except for my constant need to get up for tissue and blow substances out of my nose…! I got through math, which was annoying the heck out of me.

And, of course, lunch was just spectacular cuz it reminded of my sick (as in having a cold) appetite. It was so great to talk to many people I had the honor of talking to today~!

After school, I and two of my colleagues in music rehearsed the clarinet quintet for the first time! That, plus sitting at front desk in orchestra rehearsal gave me a very rewarding feeling~~!

Events that can happen just during one day can add up to make your day. That was the case of mine. But to also touch on the underlying mood of the character, I felt rather jubilant and energetic today, especially during math… this is always the case the day after an all-nighter – quite ironic, but it was something I’d discovered about myself some ages ago.

However, once you continue those nights for more than two or three times, the fine line is crossed and the body suffers its toll exponentially.

Isn’t it just SO fascinating… how

life acts in different ways by juggling its googolplex number of possibilities and uncertainties to produce what it has to offer to us every day?

NO, certainly not when it’s dawning on you like a nightmare or a horror movie…

but just take the time to let it sink in… Think about a day where things just felt like they’re coming into place to complete some kind of undefined, superimposed puzzle. It’s so comforting… satisfying… and pleasant~… yet at the same time, we know that success and hope will only follow when we give it all we’ve got, give it our best shot, into our dreams and goals. Cuz, think about it, what more do they expect?

And yet again, we know we can make it, someday.

Escape Route

e.mahler — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 12:24:00 +0000

These are the times when people tend to look for escape routes… out of a lack of someone, something, or somewhere because life doesn’t always flex or bend around for us to suit all of our needs, as much as we would love to see happen…

On a psychological approach through the biological level of analysis, it seems as if our neurons are producing a lot of serotonin because of the lack of something we truly care for inside, and it is giving us changes in emotion and mood. Also, Acetylcholine, because memory is involved in what we are thinking about. Dopamine, because thoughts are related to our voluntary movement. And Norepinephrine because it’s all related to our sympathetic nervous system, part of our autonomoic nervous system.

Oh, I think I just felt my temporal lobe because it can’t handle all my emotions! But my frontal lobe is backing me up like always to keep my memory safe.

In order to be analyze myself in more depth, I think my cortisol and melatonin levels are rising because I’m having some stress because of my cold and my body is going to need a lot of sleep.

For those of you in my psychology class, I just applied psych in my blog! Now, I can’t wait to take my… wait for it… mid-term psych exam~~! …NOT

Coming soon…

3 times 9 = 27

e.mahler — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 04:59:28 +0000

My first post after the notorious ‘Catch the Fish” post touches on math, philosophy, and of course, whatever YOU, the reader, connects with. Face it: almost every genre in both prose and poetry seeks to communicate to the AUDIENCE, for whatever reason it may be: to inform, engage, entertain, trick, lie, persuade… Because NOTE: writers and authors only gain recognition for how their AUDIENCE perceives their writing, not just by themselves. Welcome to the world of social networks where relationships between your peers, family, neighbors, those around you are as important as your dreams and what you do every day in life.

Sorry for the long introduction…

well here I guess I just made the tone of this blog entry that of guilt and asking for forgiveness.. HAHA~!

So, any of my peers or yours would agree to the answer to this simple math question. 3*9 = 27. Don’t worry. I won’t bore you. There’s so much more to this.

i <3 this photo~!

27 is 3 cubed. Now, children, I hope you know that by now. Again, no worries, because I don’t consider you, the reader, ignorant. But if you DID NOT know this… well go back to middle school.

27 divided by 9 is 3. Amazing! Now, this proves that in the arena of math, when a number is multiplied to another, then divided by the product, produces the exact same result. Not when imaginary numbers, limits, calculus, or transcendental variables are involved! NO, I’m not a math nerd or a fanatic, so you can take down your shields. I just like sounding smart and saying TRANSCENDENTAL VARIABLES *another NOTE: check out Chopin’s TRANSCENDENTAL ETUDES and watch the pianist’s arms go crazy!… simply put, it’s hard. as hard as Paganini’s 24 Caprices and Concertos for the violin.

I just <3 music~!

Now, closer to the point, yet off at a tangent. This is the number of countries in the world as I’ve learned back in 6th grade: 1 9 3. and two of these three individual numbers, 9 and 3, are the same as the two of the four from the equation that this post is all about! 3*9 = 27!!!!! Not if the two Koreas unite again… actually, I take that back because N.Korea being a douche trying to blame who started the Yeongpyong incident on S.Korea… I’m beginning to get nervous about what Kim Jong-Il is gonna do… Everyone TAKE COVER!!

NOW to the point… As You Wish-

Dream come true~!

If anyone can guess right what is significant about the date 3/27, I’ll give you a prize.

3/27!

NO, I’m not giving away the year, that would be like slitting my wrists for leeches and lampreys to suck all my blood, and I would be left bloodless. But, I will still manage to survive because I am.. wait for it… AWESOME! …

NO, it’s not a fraud. I’m not that kind of guy who drops responsibility of my actions or words. You have my word.

By the way, I kinda really like that date and it sort of stays on my mind. I can’t wait for it to come… under some set of circumstances…

PLZ COMMENT!!

Catch the fish

e.mahler — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 17:10:54 +0000

Hi, all. I am reviving my old wordpress blog from 8th grade so that I can organize my life and thoughts, and then tell the most interesting, awesome, and… wait for it… LEGNEDARY stories I have to tell.

I’m not the best at inside stories and metaphors, but I will try my best. This is to get all your brains stimulated and worked out, because face it, just like how you need to utilize all your muscles in your body, you have to train your brain since it’s the most fundamental organ that governs our soul, psyche, morality, psychology, or, simply put, the way we LIVE (OR, survive and bushhack our way through the meaning of life).

Fishermen in Manila~

Everyone getting their bait ready? I feel hungry for a fish.

ENJOY~

Theo, after leaving his dear, homely place where he lived a long time with the teacher of his craft, changes his social name to De Roth for the purpose of avoiding executive capture. He starts spending his life living in an unclean place with unhealthy weather conditions, owing to a landlord called Florian. He takes the job of a public letter writer at Freyborg, careful to hide his truthful identity defining his actions. Later, he pours out all he has to say about what happened to Florian and his children, which is taken as acceptance and an excuse for an invitation to stay at his offered lodging. Florian admits back that everyone living around him including himself are guilty of wrongdoings, and that they scorn Cabbaras, the chief minister. He also appeals to him as someone who forces people to become uneasy, because his presence saved Theo once again from getting caught by a few inquirers. I am interested in how the outsiders that don’t know about the place called Freyborg are scared of Florian. The people who have the honor of being his children are careful not to alter their loyalty to their master. One of them told Theo that he would die for Florian if he was allowed to have a little self pride over him. When the inquirers who were sent by Cabbaras came, all Florian said was simply ‘What do you want?’, and that seemed to scare their bones to death with Cabbaras no longer important to their lives. This first made me think that Florian was an evil leader who was up to no good with his unwilling followers, but as I read about Theo’s thoughts of receiving help and acceptance in his point of view as the main character, I foreshadow that he will stand his ground powerfully against Cabbaras, the greedy seeker of power, like Anton did for his printing press.
