In her shoes
Imagine yourself a target of street harassment, who's the one to blame? Is the victim responsible for the crime or is it the criminal who broke the moral laws before breaking the country laws?
Stop blaming the victim..
Stop blaming the victim..

A very Otaku post - Naruto
Anime, is Japanese cartoon. It has a different style and different architecture from normal cartoons. I really love watching different anime series and movies, not to mention drawing anime and writing stories.
One of the series I like to watch is Naruto, a series that talks about shinobi (Ninjas) living in the hidden village of Konoha in the country of fire. The main character is Naruto Uzumaki, a young shinobi who has a nine tailed monster fox sealed in him (The kyuubi - Kurama).
Naruto had a very hard and lonely childhood in Konoha, where all the adults there saw him as a monster and a threat to their lives, he was rejected and treated badly from those who don't know him. He was also a naughty unreliable child and caused lots of troubles, along with being lazy at the shinobi academy.
Naruto was willing to be acknowledged by everyone, and to become a hokage (the villages head and leader) one day, although he wasn't respected or accepted in the village. The one who acknowledged him first was his teacher, Iruka Umino. He believed in him despite the fact that Iruka-sensie's parents were killed by the Kyuubi sealed in Naruto. Iruka-sensie and Naruto had a father-son relationship, and this relationship is what pushed Naruto to work hard to be acknowledged by everyone and to fulfill his dream of being a hokage.
What I really liked about Naruto's character was the fact that he never gave up his dreams although he was rejected and hated by everyone. And what is really more beautiful is the fact that he was able to get stronger and turned into one of the village's heroes and was acknowledged by all of his sensies and senpais and nakamas. Also he finally had real bonds with his friends and changed the lives of so many people he encountered, even some enemies changed hearts because of him.
It's one of the remarkable anime series, ignoring all of the faults in it like the extreme number of flashbacks and some really boring fillers among the episodes, and some problems with the drawings and the animation.

26 days left
Clocks are ticking, more pages are being removed from my calendar... The future is getting nearer everyday.
Lots of days have passed in my short life as a mortal on earth; happy days, sad days, good days, unfortunate ones... Lots of memories that are fading in my memory and others that can never be forgotten. People come and go, some stay for a long time, others just pass by, some are forgotten, others are deeply preserved in my mind, others are in my heart, and they always leave a mark, either a positive or a negative one. I change along the path, and it's impossible for me to remain the same person all along. The only one who never changes is God, He's my only company that never leaves or changes at any stage.
I looked at the calender, counted the days before that day... A day that will be sad, and will never be erased from my heart, with people who stayed for long and left a deep mark in me, a positive one... But what's the difference? This ain't the first time I ever have a day like that, and leave a place where I shared memories with people I love, also I lost many loved ones already; so why am I that sad this time??
Sadness really made me not welling to work, afraid of the future, afraid of losing them again.. I have to overcome this feeling and do my best, but it's not as simple to be done as to be said. Being down and having negative feelings are annoying and stop one's progress and will to live... "Future is gonna be tough" is the only thought I have in my mind now.
Tough, not only for leaving this stage and leaving colleagues and friends I love, but also for many things; my career choice, my family, my parents, my marriage, my education, my dreams... Lots of troubles seem far away, yet, very close.. As if you know you are falling into a trap, but there is no way you can avoid it. Even if I believed that life is a game, I sometimes take games seriously...

Never growing up
Anybody listened to Avril Lavgine's new song: Here's for never growing up?
I just listened to it, and it's cool, but the problem is it made me feel so bad. I'm somehow not a very social person, but I do appreciate my friends and love them. Lately, I'm in a bad condition but never really talked about it to anyone, pretending to be strong and all. That doesn't mean that it wasn't noticeable or something, one of my close friends told me that I don't seem to be okay these days..
These days, college takes most of my time that I isolated myself from the world, I don't even talk to my friends and stopped participating in outside activities and even staying away from my own family. I also don't laugh much or try to enjoy anything with anyone, and I'm no longer interested in politics or society. I don't know why I'm doing this tho, and it's stupid I know, but it's what is happening.
The song Avril sang, Here's for never growing up, talks about friendship, which really made me feel bad for not contacting my friends lately, the thing that bothers me.. I feel sad because I no longer talk with them, and stay alone most of the time. The only ones I meet are my college friends, which are close to me too, but I usually meet them to only work on our graduation project or attend something at college.
The state I left myself in made me really unable to work or to be productive, and maybe even made me lose my feelings and start to be a colder person. But sometimes it makes me want to cry a lot and sleep a lot..
This might be because I don't talk about it? I know now it's on my personal blog but actually since random people who don't know me read it, it feels like I'm screaming but without being heard. It may be because I don't want to bother my friends with the silly problems I face, they have their own after all and they have their own issues, and I'm not a cry baby to come everyday telling them about my problems and annoy them.. But it can also be because it's my last year and I'll be no longer able to see most of my college friends.. After giving it a deeper thought, it's all these reasons combined, plus the fact that I'm losing my self confidence and my strength.. plus me not being able to communicate well with people around me most of the time.
All I need to be sure of is: My friends won't hate me for this, and they won't stop being my friends just because I stopped talking to them lately.. because it seems like I'm already losing my closest friend no matter how much effort I'm putting to keep this friendship alive... What a mess!
I just need to tell my friends.. Here's for not growing up!

What to do..
It can happen that you face a situation when you feel words failing you and you can't say anything suitable for the situation. You fail to tell what's going on your mind and what you feel in your heart.. You just fail to communicate with others..
It's even worse when you are dealing with someone dear to you, like a sibling, a parent, a son, a daughter, a friend, a crush, a spouse.. You have those feelings which you find hard to translate into understandable language. And when you realize that the words you used aren't suitable, it's already too late to change what was said. It's a problem that can hurt people's feelings and can put you in the worse situations, and may cause you loosing the ones you love..
What in the world can be done to get red of this problem? Words are not really my best friend.. and I'm sick of not being able to say what I feel or think.. I don't want it to be late to say what's in my heart.
I love those who are close to me, I love my family and friends and I care about them more than caring about myself. I don't know how they feel when I fail to tell them, may be sometimes they think I don't care at all and I act selfish. But in fact, I don't want them to be sad, I hate seeing them suffering, I want to lift their spirits and I want them to be happy... I just don't know what to do to show them..
It's a flaw among my flaws, a flaw that I really hate...
