Batman Begins and on human relations

yesterday i waited for a text from Ais because we planned the night before to watch a movie at megamall. but she didn't text and i didn't text (i think she was waiting for my text too hehe). then Ina texted if i wanted to go out because she was bored, i said i was bored myself and we planned to meet up. an hour later we were at Megamall where i got something i planned on buying then we had dinner and caught Batman Begins at Podium. i would have liked the movie more if Batman wasn't too destructive (meaning: destroying things along the way to save the city. examples: destructing the guardhouse, the roads, concrete walls of the buildings of Gotham City). by the time Gotham City was saved, the city was already 3/4 destroyed! HAHA! then there was my migraine. since i only had a few hours of sleep because i stayed up all night until 3am, there was the attack of my killer migraine. i had a splitting headache that i wanted to chop my head off and remain painless. but of course, that would be stupid because the reason why it's going to be painless is because I'M ALREADY DEAD! but aside from the silly minor details, it was great.

then we stayed for three hours at Starbucks TALKING. again. when it was time to leave i was quite surprised that it was already 10pm! we got there at 7pm and time just flew like that. when i got home my headache was worse. i wanted to throw up and came to the point when i wanted to cry (it hurt that much!!!). so what i did was i just showered and then when i got to the room i switched off all the lights. i fell asleep after that. i hate migraines but i should know better than to leave my travel container of Excedrin pillls to take the pain away. but then again, i started hating Excedrin after finding out how much caffeine a pill actually contains (too many, i tell you). caffeine content is too high that it would really take the pain away but you'd get nauseous side effects after. so i took Pontsan 500 last night. downside was that it didn't work as fast as Excedrin so when i hit the pillows, i was still in pain.

plus, my whole family is in the province. they'll be back later but i was pretty much alone last night. i hate it when i'm alone when i don't feel well. heeh.

you know how forgetful i am? one of the reasons why Ina and i met up again was for me to return the CDs i borrowed because her ipod is empty now. she accidentally deleted all her playlists. but guess what? I FORGOT THEM! HAHAHA! so we're going to meet up again because her ipod is lonely. hurray for me, though. she lent me more CDs and what i like the most is the Chillout Session cd she lent me. yeyyy! now i'll get my trance/euphoric music fix that i've been waiting for a long time.

Fete dela Musique later. i'm going with a bunch of my school friends. lets not hope it rains because last year was a disaster.

and i'll be bringing migraine medication along, just in case.

yesterday i realized that human relations are so complicated. like there are a billion people in the world-- different personalities, interests, lives, backgrounds, and ideals. it's hard to find someone with the same wavelength and someone you'd actually understand. people aren't like robots that we can actually program their personalities according to our likings. people don't have the sets of codes that would actually help you fix whatever's wrong with them because the flaws are neverending and sometimes undetectable.

if there's one thing in life i understand, it's that people are so different that you can't expect them NOT TO CHANGE and you can't expect EVERYONE TO LIKE YOU all time. humans will continue to hurt humans whether intentional or unintentional. humans will continue to not understand some people. example? lets call two people PERSON #1 and PERSON #2. for PERSON #1, his idea of happiness is being a constant dean's lister and succeeding in academics. for PERSON #2, it is the little things that makes him happy like splashing his barefeet into puddles of mud, dancing in the rain, reading good books, or simply living life to the fullest. i don't mean to point out that PERSON #1 does not have a goal of living life to the fullest. it's just that he's more focused on the more serious details of his life. while some people may scowl in annoyance because PERSON #1 is always serious, they label him as "the geek, the nerd, and the bookworm". but why don't they stop and think that maybe these are the things that make him happy? he feels most contented by achieving academic excellence, locking himself up in a room and read... and that he just might be contented by the introvert that he is?

for PERSON #2, those who belong to the group of "the geek, the nerd, the book" might scowl in disgust on PERSON #2 because they think that PERSON #2 is lesser of a person than them because he doesn't get good grades, spend hours in the library, or is responsible enough to achieve in academics. they might think that he will never go far because he's a "happy, go lucky" type of person. but did they stop and think that he must have different ideals and that these are the things that make him truely happy? to be carefree and not play by the rules?

you see, people are different that way. but one thing's not going away (that's for sure)-- it is our ability to judge people from what we see in the outside. maybe we should give people who have different ideals a chance because we can't expect people to act the same way as we do just because we think what we're doing is right.

i met one person in my past who wanted me to act according according to the things he believed in. he may not have directly imposed it but it was evident that from the viewpoint he had.

in all relationships: friendship, girl-boy relationship, and family relationship, i believe that it is most important to not impose too much on a person and give her/him sets of instructions on what to be and how to act because every person has the right for personal growth. no matter how committed we are to our loved ones (whether friends, family, or "loved one"), we should still have room to be ourselves... to test the murky waters and learn to swim beyond the set boundaries set to us by our counterparts. one day we will truely surprise ourselves that we could do better than what we believed we could do and that, i believe, is priceless.

human relations are complicated aren't they? but they need not stay that way if we only make room for new ideas and breakaway from our old ideals. it is by truely accepting and understanding a person that we come to embrace "humanity". by definition in dictionaries, it means:

The condition or quality of being human.

disclaimer: i am not imposing my thoughts regarding human relations on you because this is just me.
