The Up's.

Sometimes, i contemplate what enthical, and very intelligent and though provoking topics to discuss. However, i end up ranting about my uber boring life. I shalt do that today too, but with some interesting topics.


TODAY:
did way too much shopping. lol. thank you kiewu. i successfully spent more than $230 just because you so easily tempted me by taking initiative to look at NUM. ((: hahaha. rarhs. i bought a pair of havaianas. and then we went to shop MORE. bought another CK tee, bought some funny Giodarno tee. and bought a bag, a shirt for my dad from G2000, bought a FCUK tee. lol. thanks kiewu. i'm BROKE. ((:


THOUGHT PROVOKING:
ever wondered how does deja vu actually occur? i mean, do you even know if it HAS really happened before? or why does it even happen? or wait, base question. do you even know what IS Deja Vu? hmmmm. although people dont find wikipedia credible, i have found out that it is in some aspect. lets see the information provided:

"The experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself).
The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past. Déjà vu has been described as "remembering the future."
The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% of people report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. It has been extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience in laboratory settings, therefore making it a subject of few empirical studies. Recently, researchers have found ways to recreate this sensation using hypnosis."



interesting. what i find appalling is that research is actually done by using artifical methods such as HYPNOSIS? isnt this ethically incorrect? i mean, obviously we cant carry out an experiment on a RAT for the test of deja vu, but we are being used as the guinea pigs? i'm not claiming that using rats or other creatues is right. thats a seperate issue. but, simply, deja vu is a thing that is quite special. why are we making something so special become so ordinary? maybe i'm not pertaining to the point, not driving it home strongly, but i find this whole things queer.

anyways, i'm sure all of us have experienced deja vu. its not uncommon. (: alrights. i shall end off here.
GOING BACK TO QUEENSWAY TOMORROW!! ((:
