Since so many things had happened in just a short time, I think it'd be better if I elaborate the ideas and thoughts that linger still in my brain in here.
The first thing that came to my mind is my Nintendo DS (Double Screen). It's tar black, it's shaped like a wide rectangular prism with chamfered edges similar that of an iPod or a Macbook, and it plays games on two screens with a touch screen on the bottom, in which I can do innumerable actions using a stylus, depending on what type of game I'm playing. Currently I have a game where you operate people as a surgeon, a modern Nintendo version of Tetris, a game with a wide collection of silly mini-games incorporated in to it, and a dog-adopting simulation game, called Nintendogs. well, I wouldn't talk much about this so I'll keep it laconic. Earlier at 5 am I finally have permission from my brother to bring it to school because I haven't played it since Monday due to work that keeps on stacking and ostensibly ceaseless. I played it in the car, and I also played it before homeroom time. It's the newest array of gaming gear I have in my shortly decaying arsenal of game gadgets, being the ever-striving video game addict I always was.
The second thing that happened today was a university fair. This time they have representatives of universities across the Land of Uncle Sam, America. They didn't have representatives from prestigious and sought-after universities along the lines of Berkeley and Stanford and Harved and Yale, perhaps universities that are slightly inferior to them. Well I wouldn't mind because personally I have a rather thin academic financial pocket, and on top of that, my uncle highly recommended me to do my undergraduate studies in UI, University of Indonesia, and then I may then study abroad, with the exception if I successfully obtain a scholarship, so I may as well be a wee bit more focused and serious as I strive through the academic "Cave of Trials" that is the International Baccalaureate. There were some pretty fancy brochures that was as informative as it is aesthetically appealing. I am to do a major on business because I have an interest specifically in the gaming business. Rather, my passion, but not really my vocation yet.
Another idea I came across today in Biblical Studies was the idea that if all the universal constants of the scientific world were deviated by just an infinitesimal fraction of a decimal, it would be impossible for planets to form and universes expand. It has been discovered that all those constants and numbers are somewhat 'fine-tuned', as if they all combine together to create a perfect orchestra of life as we see it now. Astrophysicists and other scientific thinkers have mostly come to the same conclusion that there must be divine intervention in which the universe was created, one that made the Big Bang happen, although most of them are still either atheists or agnostics.
The third thing I came across was of feeling and emotion, which I studied in TOK. We delved into the topic by experimenting on how would it be if people were emotionless. It seems that all people do have emotion, it's just that occasionally they don't want to show it because of a fair number of reasons. There are words for different types of feelings; but then, there are feelings that you just can't put into words. Exhibit A: in a golf course, say, hole 5, you strike the ball with your wood and the divot is detached. Somewhere along the motion of the projectile, that is, the golf ball, ignoring almost all rules of projectile motion, A bird, say, a crow, happens to get it in its mouth in midair. Now the first thing you do is to shout and chase after that bird, but then it lowers down and drops the ball; and so the ball rolls inside the green and the bird just helped you to score a hole in one. Now try to figure out what kind of emotion/feeling would result at an aftermath.
The last idea I wish to dilate is of the different religions of this world. For example, take the more common ones; Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Shintoism or even Scientology. I once had a thought that resurfaced just today: the what-ifs of the awaited and so-called "Last Day." What if the Islam version was true? What if the Christian version was come true (hence the very offensive phrase of "Judgement Day is coming, look busy")? What if the Hindu or Buddhit version was true and really going to happen? People could debate on this single topic that can be expanded and narrowed infinite times in an uncountable number of years, but the always simple solution is to stick to what we truly believe and have faith in.
I am very sorry for the fact that I cannot review on anything for this week; I have a rather big physics lab report and it's due tomorrow (*snorts on my never-receding procrastinating habit) so enjoy some more pictures while you're at it.
....aaaaand I'm all finished for this week, I do hope that I'll get to talk more, if there is less work next week.
Cheerio.
