7 - Caraphernelia






Pierce the Veil. Ever heard of them? I'm sure some of you know them. It's a hardcore rock band. It's basically a "scream-o" because there's a lot of screaming in their music. Some of you might not like it because you might think it's "just noise", but it's not. You'll appreciate hardcore music if you really listen to it. Sometimes it's not about the music, but the message of the song. Every music have stories, I'm sure. I don't think that you'd be able to write a music without a story behind it. Anyway, I just want to share the story behind their song Caraphernelia.

 

Caraphernelia. Obviously, it came from the word "paraphernalia", which means personal stuff. The vocalist's ex-girlfriend's name is Cara. When they broke up, a lot of his ex-girlfriend's stuff was left in his house and it kept reminding him of her and it made him miss her. Thus, making it hard for him to move on. So he wrote this music. That's what inspired him to write the song and the song title.

 My point is, it's the thought that counts. Which means, you will still appreciate it regardless of how good or bad they sound if you really listen to the music.

15 - Anti-Smoking Campaign

  Why are cigarettes legal? That is the question that ran in my head so many times, to be honest. I'm curious as to why they are legal and marijuana is not.  I'm just really curious because think about it: Marijuana doesn't really kill people, but cigarettes do. Marijuana is addictive, but so are cigarettes. Marijuana can cure sickness, but cigarettes don't. I'm not trying to say that marijuana is good and that it should be legal, no. My point is, shouldn't it also be illegal? I think it threatens people's health more than marijuana. Cigarettes are deadly. I think cigarettes should be illegal because not only it affects the smoker, but also other people who likes to keep themselves healthy, like me. I'm not smoking for a reason and that is to keep myself healthy, but how could I if people around me are smoking?  Second-hand smoking is even more dangerous than first-hand. Smokers exhale it, then other people would inhale it. I hate to be blunt, but ...

2 - Island Hopping (Part 2)

The next morning, we (my cousins and I) went to the seashore to take a stroll. As we were walking, we came across an old friend who just got back from the sea from fishing. And that old friend happens to own a motor boat. So we decided to hire the boat and go to Tres Reyes Islands: Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltazar Islands. We were supposed to visit the three islands but we don't have much time left because we were supposed to leave at 12nn and it was around 8 AM when we decided to go on a trip. Our parents didn't even want us to go because for one: it was time to pack up and go home and two; it's dangerous because the waves there are big and there are sharks. But us, being stubborn kids , we still went on. We almost didn't fit in the boat. But we managed to "balance" it. In the middle of the boat ride, we found out that there was a hole on the boat. Good thing, it's not that big. Whew! Tres Reyes Islands (L-R: Melchor, Gaspar, Baltazar Island) Mel...
