Tsokolate

"A chocolate inspired rant."

First of all, i thought of this music video of as "hehe, it's spanish." And then I realized, i didn't understand anything except for "corazon." Since the music video is entitled as Chocolate, first thing that came to my mind was: 

Charlie and the chocolate factory (this includes the parody movie Epic Movie); 

Charlie and the chocolate factory is about a poor boy named Charlie. His father works in a toothpaste factory. At the same phase of the toothpaste factory, there lies Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The factory was abandoned - firing all of the employees - because of the owner's personal preferences. Charlie's grandfather worked directly at the chocolate factory and he was one of the fired employees. One day, Willy announced to the public that he distributed 5 golden tickets to random chocolates that were produced in his company. Those who will luckily find the golden tickets can have an access to Willy's factory. Also, a grand prize awaits for the lucky person. And so, four golden tickets have been found. The four golden ticket holders were gluttonous, spoiled and impolite, competitive and boastful, and an aggressive know-it-all children. Then the fifth ticket was found in Russia, belonging to a rich kid. Charlie who has lost all hope bought a chocolate to compensate his negative emotions. While eating the chocolate, the media announced that the fifth ticket was a bluff. Charlie then found the golden ticket inside the chocolate he was holding. 
During the tour, the children thought of Willy Wonka as a weird person. Then they found out that the factory was operated by mini persons called Oompa-Loompas. The children were so excited inside the factory that they found themselves in trouble. The gluttonous kid fell into the river of chocolates. The spoiled and impolite kid was thrown away by trained squirrels. The competitive and boastful kid inflated and her skin turned blue when she ate the experimental chewing gum. The aggressive know-it-all child shrunk down. Charlie then was the only one who was left. He won the grand prize - being the next heir to the factory. Willy Wonka then awarded the prize to Charlie but with one condition - he cannot bring his family to the factory. Charlie refused the offer then left the factory.
Charlie then came to knew the past of Willy Wonka. Willy was a son of a dentist thus forbids him to eat candy. He then left home. After a few years, returning with success, he found his home completely abandoned - his family left him. This explains why Willy Wonka was weird and in solitude. Charlie then convinced Willy to find his father. Then they found him. Willy's father was in track of his life. Then they reunited. Willy then allowed Charlie's family to move with him in the factory. 


"This one has a different story."

second, nutella; 
"Nutella is like food from heaven above."


then the local sweets I used to eat when I was a kid.
"This one is called Pastillas. A local sweet made from carabao milk. But back in our home place, this one is called Adong."

Journey to the Center of the Earth

"Drawn by David Wyatt"

Given this piece of art, the first thing that came to my mind was the movie: Journey to the Center of the Earth. Although it also reminds of the anime One Piece, I am more knowledgeable in the movie I chose rather than the anime, so I picked the movie instead.

Journey to the center of the earth is about a young boy - son of a volcanologist - who found himself in the center of the earth - of course, as the title states it. The other protagonist - I forgot his name - is also a volcanologist, the uncle of the boy. When the boy was dropped off his uncle's place, her mom gave him a box full of his father's stuffs. The uncle then found a book that belonged to his brother. His brother was missing for ten years. After they found the book, the journey to the center of the earth - a novel with some notes made by his brother - they packed their bags and left. They followed the notes inside the book. They found themselves in a volcano crater. There, they found gems and diamonds, and encountered a lot of creatures - including extinct dinosaurs. They have discovered that within the center of the earth, another earth existed. More like an earthception - earth within the earth. Then they found the volcanologists' body. He was dead because of suffocation. They found another note that they must leave the place within a few hours because if they won't they will die too. To make the story short, they created a mini boat and used the volcanoes pressure - combining very cold water to boiling lava - to escape the volcano. When they managed to escape, they destroyed a farm. They gave the farm owner a diamond to compensate the destruction they have made. And so, they became rich. At the movie epilogue, the boy found another book about the lost city Atlantis.


At first I thought that this movie was for kids. But when you try to unveil roots of the film, you will discover something else. I thought the the book was just a made up for the movie, but it seems to be, the movie was based from the book. Because of the experience the movie gave me - I watched it in 3D - I became interested in 3D movies. The movie was shot for 3D so the visuals was admirable. I am looking forward for the sequel - Journey to the Mysterious Island. I will watch it also in 3D.

INSPIRATION to CATASTROPHE


Have you ever been so in love that it left you bleeding on the floor? Well, I have been. Am I bitter? Absolutely. I am hurt. Of course, who wouldn't get hurt after a rejection. Who wouldn't want to push a person in a railroad when someone rejected you? Whenever I see a couple walking around holding hands and doing that PDA thing, I just have this urge to stab them to death. Yes, for sometimes I am a psychopath. Whenever I hear a love song, it's as if my ears want to explode and all I could emit are negative vibes. But I am not here to discuss about bitterness that love brought me.
Recently, being "friend zone" has been a trend. But tracing back to it's roots, friend zone originated from the sitcom friends aired in 1994. Friend zone is a pop culture that has a one sided love. The person is in love with the other, while the other person does not love that person back. It's pretty entertaining when it becomes a meme but it's pitiful once it is applied in someone's life - like mine. Here is a sample of how being friend zoned works:

"I don't know how to put it."

For me, I believe that other girls friend zone guys because they still has benefits with them. But for some, they friend zone them because it is the only kind of love they can give - love for friends. But be grateful if you were friend zoned. Because they still want to have a relationship with you - that is only friends. Some has been zoned in a different dimension.

The most common "other zone" is brother zone:


Cousin zone:

Mom zone (for girls):


Momo Zone?!?!?!
"I can't even.. -__- "

Other Zone:
"That does it, I'm leaving."

Others say that if you were put in the friend zone, you can never get out. We'll I guess if we have the courage to break through that zone, we can break free. Or, we just have to move on and be contented. Remember that nobody dies a virgin because life fucks us all. These things are only part of what we encounter half way through comfort. We will meet a lot of persons, experience all kinds of things and be happy with our lives. We are still young so we should not give up. But just in case we got friend zone again, we should do this:



"Lol. I'm just kidding. Don't ever do that."


And here is a bonus video of a friend zone song:

Letterhead

We were asked to make a letterhead. If I were to have my own company, my letter head would look like this:
