All in the eye. :D

Dear Cherry Pies, :))

"Pick a star on a dark horizon"

     When I was in class yesterday and the day before, all we did was open up with our opinions and play games. Our teacher lets us pick one thing that describes us and each of us should explain why we chose that certain thing. Some picked, laptop, guitar, mp3 player, a box and other things. I picked a pencil. You know why I chose pencil? Well, maybe you could guess it. I picked pencil because it has an eraser at the top of it and the tip for writing.  I'm obviously a type of person that erases the bad memories of the past and moves on. I like to write the things I want to do in the future. I don't want decisions that doesn't gives me two options. And most of all, I want to stay young, wild and free because now a days, teens are using pens and kids are mostly using pencils. I want to stay carefree and just like a kid, imagine all the fantasy creatures surrounding me. This activity that my teacher organized for us, is an activity which creates the feeling of each of us to feel confident in sharing your ideas and showing your true self. This isn't the only activity that my teacher did for us. There were activities that let us tell what we want in the future, what attitudes we don't like in our classmates and of course our personalities. I found the first day, shy at first because I didn't still got the time to feel confident enough but as the day passes, me and my classmates became close to each other and we got to know each other pretty well. What I like about our class is that we aren't afraid anymore to show to everyone who we really are because we already accepted them. We played games together with our adviser like truth or dare and laugh together. There was this game where we, all should have enough strength and of course "teamwork". It was a kind of game where we should put our fist together at the middle and our adviser would put like 6 notebooks. Then our teacher would tell us to turn around, squat, stand up and walk together. The goal of this game was to concentrate on the notebooks and not let them fall. This also acquires strength and leadership. Of all the 3 groups, we, group 2, won. I was always competitive and I was really screaming on one member to concentrate and not look on the others because it was in him where the sides were strong. Our group members were all cooperating so well. Then our teacher said to turn our fists into one finger only and that was more challenging which was more fun! The group 3 fell apart on the fist thingies and the group 1 fell on the first finger only which gave us the road to victory! We were really jumping with joy and I was really proud and thankful to my fellow members because we got to have +10. Wooot! So the lesson in this is when you know each other very well, you got to know what they are good at and what they are bad at. If each of you gets to know everyone, then they got to trust the leader in a group and thus the teamwork will begin. :)
     See this picture? ----> What do you see in it? Yes, you see a red ink splattered on a good white sheet. This lesson came from my dad in lunch time. He was always scolding our working student because she was always doing these uncertain things. My dad told him not to look at the bad effect of scolding that causes her heart to break but to see what scolding really is. Scolding doesn't mean to hurt one's feelings, it is for them to realize what mistakes they had done. We don't have to see scolding as an insult but rather a lesson that we must learn and apply. We, humans, always see one tiny, dirty, bad spot on a certain person and forgets that that person is thoughtful, kind and approachable. Just like this picture. We noticed first that red ink rather than the wide, white sheet background. We always notice the bad things rather than the good things and the perfect reasons, then the next thing for us to do is to misjudge, which is always wrong... Just for example, vampires, ghosts and zombies. We see them as a threat when they only sees us as a meal. A part of them has the ability to do good things too. Just like us, eating meet, fish, chicken and so on, we don't only focus on eating too right? And how about villains and bad people? Would they even exist if at first, they weren't misjudged, cheated, felt pain or hatred? Folks, we shouldn't only focus on the negative side of a person but also on their postive side. It doesn't always matter how much bad things they have created but it matters most on how many people they have touched and appreciated.

Tom Hiddleston once said "Every Villain is a hero in his own mind". I think the movie "Monster Vs. Aliens" really does a great job of depicting this lesson. Because Monsters Vs. Aliens is a story where people that causes almost chaos in town and gets to scare people has to save the world from an alien invasion. This movie describes the second lesson of this article magnificently. On the last part, the monsters were congratulated on a job well done mission by their commander. Not only by their commander but also to the people who have misjudged them. They were all sorry for what they have been saying and starting from that day on, they accepted them in the community. On the contrary, one should never judge a person's identity. Get to know them first before you whisper into someone's ear, because maybe someday you'd want them to sign in your autographs.
