29. Wikipedia: Studies indicate that at the beginning of the 20th century, premarital sex increased, and with it, petting behavior in the 1920s and 1930s. By the postwar period, necking and petting became accepted behavior as long as the partners were dating. - After so many years of Filipino struggle for independence, no change of such significance ever occurred in history. That's unfair.
30. Psychology should be funny. Imagine Freud's male audience when he told them they unconsciously wanted to make out with their mothers when they were kids. I know: "F*ck you Freud!"
31. Good news is: I'm going home tomorrow. Bad news is: yeah, I'm going home.

It's Better When Random V
17. Music: Chris Carrabba inspires metacognition. Ten points.
18. Music: Justin Bieber is basically for infatuated lassies, bitches, gay men, douchebags, and perhaps idiots. Tolerable when feeling gay or stupid. Probably three points. Clarification: there's nothing wrong with feeling gay or stupid.
19. Girls: One type in particular is the type A douchemagnet. They appear confident and caring but they are actually insecure. The confidence (or overconfidence to be more specific) is used to mask the insecurities and feelings of inferiority while the caring attitude is a way to exercise dominance, for example, a girl telling her boyfriend to eat lemon grass to treat his bad breath in the most caring and loving way possible. She can be very manipulative and she thinks (in a sinister way) that she is doing a great job manipulating her boyfriend (because she thinks she is ten points ahead in IQ) but actually, the control is well balanced because douches are interestingly gifted with girl-manipulation powers (Douche: Hah! We aren't called douchebags for no reason, jerks!). Generally, these relationships would either 1. end up after a few weeks, days, or hours, with the girl getting nothing (seriously, you think there's something to get?) but winning because she got saved from a douchebag and becomes available for another douchebag, 2. end up after a few years - the girl stripped from head to toe figuratively and literally, and 3. I prefer to delay the third ending. She will make boyfriends equal to her IQ (hey wait for the third ending). That's average, so the count could reach 115. Or at least 85. Unfortunately, that means there is a staggering number of douches alive and polluting the planet with condoms (third ending coming). Under careful examination, this actually disputes the theory of natural selection, proving with obvious evidence that morons not only succeed in the survival of the fittest but actually outnumber the geniuses. Anyway, (this is the third ending youv'e been waiting) this type of girl will usually end up tending her children equal to ten percent of her past boyfriends (because in the same manner that bastards forget to remove their condoms after having sex, they also are vulnerable to forgetting to wear any before doing it) plus her husband who apparently is a douche. That's one hell of a life you live for being a douchemagnet.
20. Music: Secondhand Serenade. I think they're perverts. Might as well call them a softcore porn band. And I think they're corny. They're a softcore porn band, not Kenny Rogers or Moffats for heaven's sake! Anyway, I give them a generous 4.
21. Science: Aspartame doesn't give you cancer. Guava seeds don't grow in your stomach unless you eat more than fifteen kilos a day. Zombies don't exist. Filipino Psychology is a course not fit to be studied by thinking individuals. Hey there's an army of ants on my bed!
22. Quotations: Just because you have a head on your shoulders doesn't mean you know how to use it.
23. Quotations: I've been thinking of you day and night.
24. Psy 102: Forget fitness. Men don't have sex for reproduction or for preserving his genes. They can't care less about that. They want sex. Period.
25. Psy 102: Sperm cells are biologically cheap to produce. I quoted that from the damn test paper. There's got to be some misunderstanding there waiting to be discovered by brilliant minds. Just because it's biologically cheap to produce doesn't actually mean it's cheap. Knowing the cost of everything but the value of nothing is pathetic. It's not cheap. It's just produced in large quantities and at a very fast rate. Fast enough for a man to create a dynasty if he gets really serious in doing it. Men spend nutrients to produce those microscopic tadpoles too. They're not just some stupid long-tailed cells accidentally manufactured from mixed sweat and sebum. Semen's got fructose. It's rich in protein according to one tabloid I've read and it's good for the skin. It's like your multivitamins and it saved us from becoming coagulated blood. Let's give it some credit.
26. Psy 102: I wonder what would happen if sperm cells aren't produced in millions. What if instead of making millions of them, only one giant sperm cell is produced every month. Something as big as the egg cell. Or maybe bigger. Imagine if all the protein and cholesterol spent in producing tablespoons of sperm cells and semen is used to create a single megasperm cell capable of superhuman feats. A monstrous one. A battle sperm cell. Able to survive the direst conditions of the female reproductive tract. Immune to low pH mucus or the most badass spermicide. Ultrafast swimming mechanism and laser-shooting eyes to break even the thickest condom. There's got to be a reason why nature wanted millions of sperm cells and not one gigaspermzilla. Perhaps because they look cute and millions of them swimming is no less beautiful to watch than rainbows. It would be interesting to know more opinions. What's the advantage of millions of microscopic sperm cells over a single asskicking superdupermegagigaspermzilla designed for utter destruction?
27. I believe this laptop computer's keyboard is sensitive. He didn't have to beat it.
28. Something's memorable about this semester. Our team composed of an effecient consolidator, fine researchers, and extraordinarily splendid facilitator successfully accomplished the impossible work of making a research paper. The overnight "project-making" was cool. Overnights are generally cool, really. I had lots of fun. Good conversations, plenty of laughs, tons of nonsense. I think some more would be really nice. My instructor's a real genius for pulling such hopeless creatures (muhaha!) together. Well, that was good. And I doubt if I didn't enjoy it well while it lasted. What made it more special is the knowledge that it might be the last. Oh well. At least it left a good taste, though the taste may soon fade in time as well. God bless you, Philippines.

11. I need a w3x map that is capable of sustaining my interest. That's a call for all wicked coders.
12. Three effective ways to deal with your inferiority complex: A. Go find a congregation and believe that you've transcended your old rotting self and has become a son of God. B. Try to make as many conversations as you can revolving around other people's imperfections. C. Convince your stupid listeners you're not judging anybody.
13. Number twelve should make you feel better (and holier).
14. Side effects include somniloquy.
15. Sometimes, you might just continue your criticizing-spree during sleep. Now that's damn serious.
16. I was looking forward to the end of this semester. But after all the exams and the sleepless nights spent in writing ever-delayed psych papers, the drama of a student's "third-year-first-sem" life ends like an addictive RPG - void of thrill and purpose. Oh, I'm itching for some pressure. And more opportunities for mediocrity and procrastination.

It's Better When Random III
8. If I say I'm not a hypocrite then maybe I'm a great hypocrite after all, so I decided I'd rather say I'm a hypocrite, but not too much - just enough to enjoy and not to hurt (that's quite impressive according to my scale).
9. And so I remember some of the few people I know who don't think they are hypocrites.
10. And maybe it's not just the hole that makes the doughnut a doughnut but the whole. That's something I learned from the Gestaltists perhaps. The whole is more than the sum of it's parts? I guess it makes a lot of things more meaningful than how we see them.

6. I don't hold anything against Christ and I somehow find Christianity fine. It's the "Christians" I dislike.
7. I will still love you in the morning. And in the morning after that. And every morning that I am lucky enough to wake up and tell you I love you and show you that I really do.

1. It's a little frustrating how a lot of smart girls lack the looks and many pretty ones lack the wits.
2. It's amazing how emotions give people sudden boosts in the brain just to express beautiful (or not-so-beautiful) things in beautiful (or, well, !@#$*) words.
3. Too bad many stories start in the climax (of ecstatic nights) and end up just after the exposition starts.
4. In physical strength, men are superior.
We are well aware of the exceptions though.
5. Why do so many girls prefer the form over the substance?

Why Weed is Good (perhaps?)

I'm not trying to endorse cannabis, but I've had enough of the marijuana issue. You see, that happens when your instructor tells you you've got to quit (really), and the internet says you've got to have tons of it (wow). I know of some really cool places on earth where people start consuming weed as kids. I guess that's a pretty good reason not to believe my instructor. Actually, I wasn't too convinced. Finally, I checked Wikipedia to see what modern science has got to say. Now read.
Cannabis has psychoactive and physiological effects when consumed. The minimum amount of THC required to have a perceptible psychoactive effect is about 10 micrograms per kilogram of body weight.[51] Aside from a subjective change in perception and, most notably, mood, the most common short-term physical and neurological effects include increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, impairment of short-term episodic memory, working memory, psychomotor coordination, and concentration.[52] Long-term effects are less clear.[53][54]
The numbers tell you it's from Wikipedia. That's for the effects. The impairment of memory doesn't seem too attractive - kids, you need the best memory you could possibly have; you don't have to smoke weed to have a bad one. It is however, a short-term effect. And I hope it really is.
Give me credit for reading this much to inform you you're doing just fine smoking weed. Well, if you're in doubt,read it yourself.
I don't want to talk much about cannabinoids (I don't think many stoned users are a bit interested). Save your brain, that's a helpful friend you got in marijuana. They help in delaying advancements of brain diseases like Alzheimer's. Furthermore, studies show that marijuana could also delay the development of cancer (if you call it development) by triggering the death gene in cancerous cells. Amazing.
Now you have it. Just don't get caught. And don't be sorry if ever...:P
Triangular Theory of Love

The triangular theory of love is a theory of love developed by psychologist Robert Sternberg. The theory characterizes love within the context of interpersonal relationships by three different components:
Passion - The addictive component; sexual in nature; 100% = nirvana.
Commitment - Boring component, nonetheless very effective in holding relationships together.
Intimacy - Wholesome component; most of the time used to justify passion.
I think, there could be more precise definitions. Perhaps memory failure. Transience or bias. Never mind.XD
