Dear You...

(I've made this into a video! Click  here. ) quora.com I don't know you. I don't know your history. I don't know your background. I don't know your beliefs and principles that you hold in your life. Thus, I am not eligible at all to judge you. I am not perfect either. We all make mistakes. We are all improving in life. In life, things are constantly out of hands. Sometimes we feel that we have little to no control in our lives. And that is partially true, depending on your perspective. So, when we make mistakes, or at least what is deemed as mistakes, we will tend to either blame ourselves, or blame others. Or even both. Blame ourselves for not knowing. Blame ourselves for not trying to do what's right Blame ourselves for not doing what's right. Blame ourselves for not resisting ourselves to do what's wrong. Then, Blame our parents for not raising us right. Blame our friends for taking us to the wrong alley. Blame our surrounding...

"Mind Your Own Business" Is Not Relevant Anymore

Image
"Sony released a new trailer for 'Detroit: become Human' at the Paris Games Week 2017. It pictures a father, Todd, and daughter, Alice, that live with their android, Kara. We soon find out that Todd is abusive. Alice even gets tragically killed by her father because the android did not intervene. But then we are shown what would happen if Kara decided to step in. The amount of choice is astounding. Kara could do anything from physically or verbally defend Alice, trying to escape the house and more. Let's hope that this trailer is a good reflection of the game to come." - Zoomin Games, 31 Oct. Kara. vg247.com You should see the video on Facebook. It shook me. Mainly because Kara is a reflection of all of us. Kara is us, when we see someone clearly in problem, but are scared to help. Kara is us, when we see something devastating in front of us, but we choose not to do anything. Kara is us, when we have the choice to turn things around, bu...

What Does It Mean to Make Love?

Image
Sexual entertainment is norm now. We can't hide nor deny it. Every song will have at least 1 line as a sexual reference. Every movie or other types of visual entertainment will potray the supposely intimate scene graphically. Every novel will also attempt to make the readers visualize the scene. Every dance is not a dance without some sexy moves. As a result, we walk around like a human on the outside, but unconciously preying on others like an animal on the inside. Our brains send cues to arouse ourselves. It can be what you see, hear, feel or think. Then it is up to us to take action. Just let it be? Stare? Jerk off behind the computer? Find a hooker? Demand by force? Once or twice, it is inevitable. But what happen today is that these arousals keep coming, every time, everywhere, in every way. It is too much to the point that just 'letting it be' is not an option anymore. So we will cope. And our coping mechanisms will be different. Also considering, our...

If She Says No, It's A No

Image
Sexual assaults are quite different from other types of assaults. They are defined not exactly by the magnitude of damage, but rather the consent of both parties. And this consent must happen before, mutually. Everyone loves sex and wants to have one. But that does not justify you to be entitled on a person's body, demanding things that she was not ready for or declined to, and even worse, manipulating how she should feel about it. Saying no should be simple, and accepting 'no' as an answer should be simple, and they should stay simple. If one says no, it's a no. Even if it is just a slight hand touch. Simple rules, everyone. I know, you just want to have fun. That girl just needs a little bit of convincing. A little bit of touching, she'll get hot. A little bit more, she'll feel the fun. Right? But sex is more than just a mere fun act. Sex is one of the ways you bond with your partner, and grow your love together. It is out of love and fondness...

Are Muslim Women Forced To Wear Hijab?

Image
pinterest.com When a Muslim woman decides to wear hijab, she either gets celebrated or banned. When a Muslim woman decides not to wear hijab, she... Wait, it's actually the same. Depending on your culture, place and ethics, choosing both have their own perks and consequences. So... are Muslim women forced to wear hijab? I am not going to talk about statements from Quran and hadiths (Prophet Muhammad's sayings). I am not an expert in that field. I am just going to talk a field which I believe everyone (at least, claims to be) is an expert in. Logic. Firstly, if you define 'forced', as if, if you don't do it right now, something bad will happen to you IMMEDIATELY, it is true. Like maybe if someone puts a gun in your head, and say, "Scream 'I love Charlie Puth' or I'll shoot you, that's obviously forcing, and that is absolutely wrong. So, if you say Muslim women are forced to wear hijab, by ISLAM, it is not accurate. It's no...

I Want A Degree... And A Husband... Together!

Image
istockphoto.com Come on. I know you, at least low-key, want it. Don't give me that stupid and judging look. Why can't I? Can't I study and get married at the same time? Can't I get a good degree, and a decent husband, together? I know that while you are working hard on your papers and classes, rushing for club activities, scoring on every subjects, at the very same time, you would have inside your phones thousands of virtual things to look at, of your beloved singers, entertainers, athletes or God-knows-whoever-else, online and offline, performing and not, even properly dressed and the opposite. Maybe. And you would spend every single valuable free time that you have to watch them, and engage with them, and imagining things to do with them. That is just about celebrity-crush. What about your 'crush' crush? Maybe you don't deal with them like you deal with your celebrity crush, but still, it is a big deal. Your heart pounds when you meet th...

"Should I Depend On A Man?"

Image
(I've made this into a video!  Click here. ) Girls, what are your motivation to study hard, get a job and be independent? So you don't have to depend on any man in your life? At first, I do agree with this. I mean, I am a girl too. But I've been thinking, 1) Can we really do everything by ourselves? Like, being totally independent to others? 2) Is it wrong for a girl to ask for a man's help? Is it wrong that I like it when someone help me? 3) So do I have to really study hard, get a job and be independent, just to prove that I don't need to depend to men in my life? Again, when we go through this statement, we know that it is not 100% right, eventhough it is totally not 100% wrong. And it is just as equally important to study the wrong ones, just like we embrace and cherish the right ones. "So, what IS wrong with it?" Reminder: All of these are my own personal opinions. You are free to agree and disagree, and I am more than happy if ...
