True Love

As paradoxical as that might be: I love my still-didn't-come children, too much to the point that I won't bring them to this shitty world!

“If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life of meaninglessness” – Adam Khoo

I came across another email forwarded to me about millionaires' success stories, this one was special. The guy is really brilliant and when I read more about him I got really impressed, and thus I'm sharing his inspiring autobiography and tips with you.

This is his official website: http://www.adam-khoo.com

I'm here for you

Talk to me endlessly, I'll always be listening
Speak out your thoughts of him, I'll never get bored
I wont say that I can feel you because it's way more than I can percieve, but I will surely try and I will certainly understand
I know it's not easy and I know days are gonna be hard for you, and death can form a confusion for sure
I'll be there around you, or a phone-call away, you're not alone
For I know how it feels both ways, to lose someone and feel too bad about it, talk to ppl who're just not interested, or  have someone caring to talk to about it for hours, daily, endlessly.
I know I'm bad with words, and I also know I suck when it comes to cheering ppl up, I simply lose my tongue, but I hope my presence will be somewhat helpful.
My friend, my best friend, I'm here for you

This World Cup

I'm not a football fan I have to say.
And since I'm not a fan of any team, when this whole world cup thing started I decided to pick up a friend each match and cheer for their favorite team with them, not because I care for the world cup not at all, but just for the fun of it.
First it started with Argentina for Fawzi, I had Argentina flags drawn on my cheeks by sweet Misho :) I enjoyed watching the match, I also knew Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona (who happened to look like my friend Joseph).


Then I cheered for Japan for Gerdo, I also enjoyed this one, and Honda certainly kicked ass.. But most of all I enjoyed watching the funny face and body expressions that players had during the match, and I also learned a fact about Netherlands I was ignorant enough not to already know :)

Then it was Iyya's turn with Germany when they played with England and achieved their fabulous win, I kept cheering for them till they lost their match in front of Spain, so I ended up cheering for Netherlands last night.
From the last few matches I knew Manuel Neuer (GER), Thomas Meuller (GER), Mesut Oezil (GER), Lukas Podolski (GER), Miroslav Klose (GER), Arjen Robben (NED) and David Villa (ESP).

*ra22asni ya gada3*

The match that I enjoyed the most was Germany vs. Argentina, it was both exciting and weird as a former hypocrite Argentina fan -as if-.. Then I celebrated Germany's 4-0 win with my fav DJ Tiesto playing at Beirut, that full-day trip resembled some fun and exciting memories!


I enjoyed world cup 2010 in my own way, looking forward for 2014's. I'll be cheering for Germany for sure ;)

My Definitions

Life: An obligatory test where you never was given the choice whether to have it or not, and you fail big time if you quit. Nevertheless, it's a recorded tape, playing over and over again, all of what will happen has already happened, all of what happened will repeat endlessly in the bounds of Time. All the people yet to come already exist in a form I haven't yet discovered the words to describe. How do I know? I don't.

Traditional Marriage: A corrupted concept, an employment of special agreement conditions in the contract, and most people's concern is to be the employer rather than the employee.

Love: The ultimate motive of all. The sweet insanity that makes you accomplish and do things you never thought you were capable of doing. The enjoyable coffee-break of life.

Normal: Lexical: Conforming with or constituting a norm or standard.
In other words: What characterises the majority, a word to describe the most common behaviour, what's accepted by others!
Logical: Limits defined by others for you to be like them.

Real Personality: Never existed never will. A personality is just a representation of the unrevealed. A representation can never be real.

Mind: An instrument. Created mainly for thinking and applying taught logic - if used -, and can become very fatal and destructive to its owner, due to the fact that it can take over its owner; by misleading them to identify themselves with it (the mind), and thus identifying themselves with their thoughts, and not being able to stop thinking (because they think they are the mind, while in fact they have the mind).
"I think therefore I exist" is another false theory given by someone who's strongly identified with his mind.

Evolution: A mere common theory, never passed to proven science.

Happiness: The symptom that appears when one locks up the mind, stops thinking and starts feeling with all given senses; usually followed by depression drivin by the mind survival instinctual behavior of intense thinking to overcome what it has missed.

Temporal

It's so funny how sometimes you may want or wish to have something so bad that you would give up a lot to have, and after a while (regardless of how long it is) you would lose every interest in it to the point that makes you feel silly and stupid you wanted it in the first place.
Makes me lose interest in anything I currently want when I think of this fact, it's all temporal..

[Edit]: And vice versa!!!

Subliminal Messages

The world is invaded by subliminal messages and in fact they're becoming even more exposed and clear that they are no longer subliminal.
Our minds are getting re-programmed and we're not aware of that (well some of us are). We do things that we think we want to do them. we think we are free to do them while in fact we are programmed to get attracted to them and love them.

First, I'll explain the concept of subliminal messages.

The Concept
A subliminal message is any piece of information which is sent beyond the limit of human perception. However the subliminal messages still get processed by your sub-conscious mind. In this way changes can be made without your pre-existing self beliefs getting in the way.
Subliminal messages effect is subject to the perceiver state of mind, current beliefs, willingness, the more your current desires/beliefs/state-of-mind is compatible with the message content, the faster it will take effect. Subliminal messages effect is similar to the placebo effect, they influence you to act on a certain way by altering your thoughts, wants and desires.

We receive information subliminally all day from a range of sources from media, and advertising, but also from simple day to day life - there is always too much going on around us for our conscious mind to act on it all - so your subconscious mind filters through it and you are only aware of the information you need at the time. For example if you hear your name mentioned across a noisy room you tune into that conversation, this is because you were listening all along on the edge of your perception. Subliminal messages simply take advantage of the fact that your mind can process information you are not aware of.
Subliminal messages can be injected in all types of media (images, audio, video, games... etc.) and can also appear in many other different forms.

Types
Images: Subliminal messages can be injected into images either as semi transparent text or another image that can be hardly recognised by the concious mind, but still processed subconsciously.
Audio: Subliminal messages can be implanted in audio in so many several ways like backmasking, while backmasking remains a very debatable subject, and of course you can pretend anything played backward mean anything you want since it's almost very ambiguous, but the fact remains that backmasked messages will pass through your hearing senses directly to your subconscious mind without the filtration of the conscious mind, whatever that message may appear to be - wether it was intentionally injected in the audio or it just unintentionally sounds so when played backwards. afterall it's not a matter of intention, it's a matter of what our minds receive.
Video: Injecting a single image frame in between let's say a 32 FPS video will not be obvious consciously to the perceiver, however the mind will process it subconsciously, this is used to implant brands and logos in videos to make the perceiver familiar with this logo. Another application of video subliminal messages is inserting an unusual frame (like a girl with 3 hands for example) into an ad video, people will not notice the single frame, however the ad will still draw their attention because there's something "unusual" there.
Other forms: Messages can be sent to the subconscious mind in other various forms, ill set an example I have read but i'm not really sure of it's accuracy - I'm just mentioning it to explain the technique: Volkswagen cars logo is said to be transformed into the Nazi sign when spun at a certain speed (which is what car wheels usually do).

Sex Sells
Subliminal messages is widely used in ads, mainly relating a certain product with sex will subconsciously make the ppl want this product more because they think it will make them feel good, even Disney implants sex messages into kids movie! YES Disney!! Subliminal advertising has been banned in US.

Those are some few examples, you can find more here:

Feel the curves, indeed.

Looks like flight attendants like large towers!


If this part wasn't so important, it wud have been cropped or photoshopped! or it was photoshopped to appear this way..

This one is so blatant that it's not even subliminal!


She's already willing, ready and holding it open. Will you buy this mouse?

Seems like little mermaid likes large towers too

Here are some music backmasking examples - I'm not pretty sure of the accuracy of this information, but Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces backmasked message is quite obvious and clear.

So enough with the examples you can google them anytime and find millions.

Who Cares?
Now, you may say: at the end, if chosing to eat from McDonalds will make me feel good (whatever the reason behind that is I'm not interested to know) then who cares, who cares if I really love McDonalds or I was just externally-influenced to chose it over BurgerKing for example..
Yes, you may be right.. but here's the thing, what will make you feel good is the "chosing" part, the eating part is something totally separate, let's say that when I'm hungry I will chose McDonalds over BurgerKing because I merely think "i'm lovin' it" although I don't really do, and because again it's related to sex pleasure and indeed, sex sells.
P.S. I'm not even implying that BurgerKing doesn't use subliminal messages too, I simply don't know.

To Be Continued
Ok I guess this post is getting too long and I still haven't reached the point where i'm actually pissed off, this all was an introduction of the concept... to be continued.
