Some psychologists believe that it is quite illogical why a lot of people (like me) love to watch horror movies. It’s against what Psychology concepts tell us– that most people enjoy having pleasant feelings and horror movies definitely DO NOT give us pleasant feelings at all.

Dr. Norman Holland, a certified psychologist tells us that the enigma beneath the popularity of horror films stems from the fact that we get pleasure from unpleasurable things. He introduces the concept of fictionality and actuality. Fictionality means that we do not act in response to a stimuli while actuality is the opposite. The fictionality of the movie elicits pleasure for us. The knowledge that whatever happens in the movie, may all the characters die and deteriorate, don’t actually have any effect on us is the root cause of our pleasure.

Me, I just like the thrill of being scared. Its fun and it offers a sense of break from the bleak world. Maybe I just find my environment amazingly safe, dull–boring that’s why I seek some other stimuli.

In the past, wearing glasses was considered to be unattractive and this apparel is actually considered to be the brainiac symbol. Let’s face it, when you see eyeglasses, words like intelligent, nerd, and geek are the first words you’ll ever think of. I wear glasses, no offense taken. But, gone were those days now even red envelope are fashionable.

At present, eyeglasses are now considered a fashion item. Even people who don’t have eye problems have a pair or two with them. Of course, glasses are only fashionable if you know how to match them with your clothes, the shape of your face, and your hairstyle.

Would it be too much to say that even Harry Potter had a hand in the popularity of glasses? Well, to be specific, he really popularized those round glasses. And for a second there, I thought it fashionable to have a scar in the forehead.

Well, anyway, truth be told, glasses are really fashionable. They can accentuate a person’s facial features in great lengths. And of course, can emphasize the eyes and nose.

Some people don’t know how to understand human error. This is probably because they think that everyone is supposed to be as great as them. They initially put themselves as the standards and they think that whatever they could do, everyone can also do. This thinking leads them to overestimate everybody else which often times leads to a lot of disappointments.

Understanding human error entails that one has to recognize that humans are just humans after all. They can make mistakes. This then leads to the acceptance that humans are not robots and sometimes, we need more than instructions to effectively work. For instance, we constantly need to feel happy and motivated. Because we understand that humans can make mistakes, we must also be clearheaded, not hot-headed. It’s not like anger’s gonna make things any better, anyway, right?

Understanding human error also entails the understanding that error is an error. What can’t break us will only make us stronger. As the saying goes, because we’re humans, we learn from our mistakes. Let’s charge every error to experience.

A lot of shirts are left hanging inside closets for long times.  This is probably from a traumatic experience of mismatching the colors and patterns of shirts and neckties. It is true that a great look can be ruined by a mismatched shirt and necktie. To avoid a humbling and embarrassing moment in your life, you sshould learn to match the colors and patterns of your shirts with your neckties. Matching the color of your necktie with your shirt can be an easy task but this skill requires knowledge on which colors and patterns look good together.

The easiest task in mixing and matching your wardrobe is your white shirt. It is a given fact that a white shirt is just like a canvass– it can emphasize the beauty and elegance of your necktie. The good thing about white shirts is that it goes with just about any color and pattern of necktie there is. Even outrageous neckties look great when paired with a white shirt.

Sandara Park was once called the “Krung-krung” of the Philippines and I still don’t know what it means but I’m pretty sure its not a very good alias. From trying her luck as an actress and singer in the Philippines, she came back to her home country, Korea, to be a singer as a member of YG’s hip-hop girl group 2NE1.

Sandara, otherwise known as Dara, can attribute her success to the great publicity YG has concocted for her. YG Entertainment launched the group as the girl version of the famous Korean hip-hop boy group Big Bang.

In fairness to Dara, she also did her part as an artist. Compared to the Korean who barely knew English launched by ABS-CBN, Dara is now a better performer in terms of singing and dancing. Of course, it cannot be denied that the other 2NE1 members have more powerful voices and are better dancers. But, let’s give it to Dara, she’s trying to keep up and she’s really doing great.

To Dara, keep up the good work. We hope to see more from you soon. Shine on, girl!

Life is like flying a kite and having a portable phone batteries, you need to wait for that strong gust of wind if you want to soar high.  A wise man will also know when to pull the string to keep the kite soaring. He will know when to let the wind pull the string to soar even higher but still keeping control by firmly holding on to the string.

When an opportunity presents itself before you, grab it. It might never come again. And when you are up in the air, keep flying and never lose a moment. Remember that the higher you go, the harder you fall when you make a mistake.

Wait for things to unfold before you act. Never rush things because things will unfold at their own pace. When you get the drift of life, let it bring you to places but do not let yourself be caught in the moment. Always keep control because in the end, you are the wheel of your life.

Even the best laid out plans fail without proper timing.

A lot of people don’t like the taste of ginger. In fact, most people would pick out ginger from their food to avoid eating it. But those people like Chef or Head Cook Jobs are not included in the list;

Ginger, though its very unappealing, is actually a very healthy food. For singers, it can be a very helpful tool because it has been said to have a voice restoration benefit.

In history, ginger has actually been known to be an effective preventive measure against colds and coughs. It has a relieving property which soothes the throat.

Just to clear things, ginger can never make your voice louder. It can only relieve your swollen throat which in return, restores your voice back to normal.

To harness the benefits of ginger, always remember that the fresh ones are more potent than those processed ones bought from stores. But you might also sample the variety of ginger products available at the grocery store such as ginger candies and ginger tea.

I am a proud graduate of a prestigious school. And I’m sure my parents are also proud of me. But coming from a poor family, I had great responsibilities to fill after graduation. Sad to say, I am disappointed at myself and I think I have disappointed my family as well.

I am currently employed and I’m receiving just enough to make my ends meet. I am relieved that my family do not require me to give money every month. They know that as much as I wanted to help with the bills, I can’t really give financial help. This is a frustration for me because I want to help them so bad. I knew that going to college was expensive but still they did everything so that I can study in a great school. What’s more frustrating is knowing that other people who are less skilled are actually earning more than I am and hence able to afford Old Gringo Boots.

These frustrations are biting at my gut sometimes but it also serves as my motivation to move forward and do well.

If you’re a singer, then your greatest asset would be your voice. It is then important that you know how to take good care and preserve your beautiful voice for singing.

There are a lot of things a singer must and must not do in order to preserve her voice. In taking care of your voice, you must be able to read any signs that your voice is in peril to be able to counterattack or to stop whatever it is that you are doing that is actually affecting the quality of your voice.

For your voice to function at its optimal level, your vocal folds must be moist. Always remember to drink at least 6 waters a day to ensure hydration. Also, avoid substances that actually dry you out such as caffeine, chocolate and alcohol. You can still consume these things but be sure that you compensate them with enough water.

First things first. People must understand that mental stress is a part of living. We experience stress because we have concerns in our lives and of course, because we keep ourselves busy with life.

To release mental stress, you must always remember that you are in control. Be in charge of your thoughts, check your emotions, monitor your schedule, your environment and your behavior towards problems.

Well, one thing’s for certain. To release stress, aside from the things mentioned above, you must learn how to relax. Exercise a little, do some meditations, play some, laugh sometimes, smile a lot, enjoy life. Yes, you have to pay the bills and other concerns but you must remember that these things should not take control of your life.

Take the reins and manage your life.
