I forgo tv since a really long time ago.
But here are some documentaries I've watched which will provide some insights to my current view of the world - a world of advertisements, consumerism, development (on a side of the world), and poverty (on the other side).
These can be life changing documentaries. (It will at least make you think of certain issues in a different way) Ready for a challenge? haha :P
(Actually, I just want you to watch it! hahaha. yes, I've succeeded in being silly again. Actually, I'm just trying to be funny, please laugh! )

Metta - Loving Kindness
Do if you wish as I do - just take 10 minutes off from running your daily chores or to another meeting - close your eyes and contemplate upon the words below while appreciating the music.
This is. Always a reminder. To me.
Metta Sutta
This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.
Wishing: In gladness and in saftey,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be at ease!
Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in any state.
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon another.
Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings:
Radiating kindness over the entire world
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and ill-will.
Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this recollection.
This is said to be the sublime abiding.
By not holding to fixed views,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
Being freed from all sense desires,
Is not born again into this world.
I wish that, you - my friend, my teacher, my parents, my siblings, my acquaintance, or just anyone that I don't know of yet - to be well, and to be happy.

Old self, new self, no self?
Reading up my old blog cheered me up :)
(I blame my brother for bringing this up, but I thank him for reminding me of this old side of me.)
Haha. I used to....
While studying Physics, memorize all the Newtonian laws construct a whole bunch of my own laws.. like:
Hypothesis: The more you study, the less life you get.
Methods of Proving:
1) Hold a mirror
2) Look at yourself and convince yourself that those things on your table makes you happy sulk
Conclusion: The more you study, the less life you get.
(I think I still dislike forced learning even though my siblings deeply believe that I'm a nerd and a bookworm.)
Do funky posts like a step-by-step manual on:
Receive & collect testimonials such as these:
