good 100 minutes

well if you are observant, you would know that if i ever share YouTube videos, they would be mostly songs and occasional some random ones that can relate to the current blog post topic. i rarely show someone's awesome piece from YouTube and what not.

however, with that said, today is different and is one of the rare times where i will introduce to you a really good piece of YouTube video production. it is a 100-minutes movie done by the user Corridor Digital titled "Sync". this is a sci-fi story and i would say the storyline is really well crafted and detailed. the ending is great and the build up is pretty decent. only drawback is that character development could have been better. 

trust me, it will be a hundred minute well spent. this user uploads about one to two videos per month and their specialty is mainly special effects. so yeah, enjoy it or you can save the URL and watch it when you have a straight 100 minutes of time.

560 to 99

well if you see here, this is like the 100th post of the blog now. haha but yeah.. it shouldn't be. actually, the blog just went through a great change. from the original 560 posts, i have deleted most of old posts to 99 now. this is the 100th. well, don't be shocked or sad. it is just yet another time where i think ditching the past is good and those were the posts where the titles were the same. all were "_____". lol.. so stupid, come to think of it.

too bad for those who just know me and found this place. you cannot really stalk me through here. this is the second time i do such a major crap on this blog. this blog was created in 2007 i think.. in 2010 i did a revamp that is bigger than this. of course, i deleted posts that time as well. today is the second time, hopefully the last.

chances

mistakes. we have all made them and we will be making numerous more in time to come anyway. nonetheless, the knee-jerk reaction when one realizes he/she has made a mistake would be apologizing. otherwise, after certain prompting, he/she would as well.

well, the main point i would like to highlight today is about giving them the chances. to begin off, personally i find those who apologize for the sake of doing so to get by quickly deserve to be smack in the face. if you do not intend to be sincere, don't bother trying. if you are, show so. for a start, yeah if you are insulted or what not, make sure you feel right about the aggravator's apology before moving on.

so moving on, here is the part where it gets tricky. people are all about second chances and of course i totally agree to that, no matter how big a mistake it is. however, as human beings, we have something called empathy and would at times go beyond second chances. a third, a fourth, a fifth chance.. so on and so forth. so how many chances would we have to give before we say that it is enough and here is where forgiving should stop.

personally, i realise i do so in relation to how close the person is to me and how bad the mistake is. these two factors are taken together no mutually exclusive. not sure about you all but i find that after some time and numerous chances given, the same old apology seemed less meaningful and sincere no matter how the opposing party put it. when one apologizes, i take it as a call to change after knowing he/she was definitely in the wrong. so if it is repetitive, what do the past apologies actually mean?

haha okay this entire issue is just a food for thought.
