creative journal entry #1 by J https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g for perdev class, as always en-us 2018-03-03 09:04:04 UTC 2026-03-16 01:03:42 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. Is there a ‘center’ or a central theme in your timeline and life? If you will give a title for your timeline what would it be and why? nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g/wish/237664465 I'll talk about life in general
I encourage everyone and anyone who sees this padlet to watch this

life is random, life is anything you want it to be. We both have free will and don't. All our decisions are written in stone and isn't. Life is both determined and isn't. THIS UNCERTAINTY IS WHAT MAKES LIFE INTERESTING (at least for me). It can be both beautiful and ugly (sometimes even at the same time). It can be both easy and difficult. No matter what life you are living, might it be good or bad, you might as well enjoy the ride.

this video shows how people triumphed at school but flunked in life and people that flunked in school, in turn, triumphed in life. This shows how life can be undecided (but if you think of it things are decided - see video below)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjeKiIa7XEk&t=35s
but that is the magic of life, an illusion, that we are free. there is a part in the film "the prestige" (2008)

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"."

The quote shows how we (could) know the truth but choose not to
"it is a reality we suppress. We know it but we do not acknowledge it"
- from a book called "how to deal with adversity

but dear reader please do not treat my words as truth. this is how i see the life as of now and we all know that views, beliefs, and even values change over time

If i were to make a title for my timeline, the title will be "A Series of Events"
If there is a theme in my life, I wouldn't know.

I wouldn't want to know

What were the thoughts, feelings and actions that you experienced? nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g/wish/237665991 one turning point that stands out is when I started to have empathy. I started thinking of how other people feel. 
I don't quite notice the subtle changes that happen throughout my life (at least for now)]]> 2018-03-03 09:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g/wish/237665991 3. Who are/were the most significant people in your life? How did they influence you? nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g/wish/237666486 In my opinion, significant people are people that change us (even a tiny bit) or people who make an impact in our lives whether that impact be good or bad.
One person that stands out is my aunt. She made life fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6USqt3HztA
She showed me her outer democritus while hiding her inner heraclitus

She influenced me by being kindhearted and being a weirdo (in a good way)

What would you change or add, if you could? How would each of these changes or additions affect your life, or even change its present course? nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g/wish/237667750 As of now i wouldn't change anything.
If i could add anything it would be experiences (good ones)
The experiences wouldn't have to be grande (but if it could be possible I'd leave my life now, and just travel around the world. I want to see people and meet places)
I wanna see good films and hate the ones that made it because i ... there is this quote from "Midnight in Paris" that could probably sum up how i feel when i see a good or even great film

Gil: Would you read it?
Ernest Hemingway: Your novel?
Gil: Yeah, it's about 400 pages long, and I'm just looking for an opinion.
Ernest Hemingway: My opinion is I hate it.
Gil: Well you haven't even read it yet.
Ernest Hemingway: If it's bad, I'll hate it because I hate bad writing, and if it's good, I'll be envious and hate all the more. You don't want the opinion of another writer.

but in all honesty I'm not envious of great filmmakers, in all reality I appreciate what they make. They make works of art.
i am getting of track

If my life were to change for these additions, life wouldn't really change that much for other people. things that matter to me don't matter for some people - things that matter to some people don't matter to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkoML0_FiV4

People have their own lives to care about. My life shouldn't be the center of anyone's focus. I am merely a passerby in anyone's life even in your life

I don't really care if these additions happen what matters is my chase for happiness but in all reality i don't know what to do if i get what i want
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFQPEkczYc
here John Koenig shows the german word "Zielshcmerz" which is the dread of getting what you want. In life (at least for some), life is a rising action and ends in a rising action never truly getting what they want in life but, again also at least, some people do get what they want in life they've gone through the climax already and are already going through the falling action then the ending. If you think about it, if and when you do get what you want in life it's downhill from there.

But remember Life is not a film
maybe
maybe not
it could be
right?
it should be?
it would be, if only...
it could be.

have you ever had one of those experiences where your life imitates film?
have you ever watched a film that imitates life?

What do you expect your future timeline will be? nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito https://padlet.com/nilalangawakongkontihabanggumagawanito/4bhjuq03fg8g/wish/237672347 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcjfi8oNQY8
