no! please no!

The thought that the world will end scares me; well I think all of us do. It’s a “fact” that we must all know and I think, also admit. Honestly, I don’t wanna give my own version of ending the world, but for the sake of giving an example, I’d like the end of the world to be something caused by water, I don’t like explosions, fires, earthquake and falling buildings. I want the end of the world to be calm (as if that’s possible). Maybe just like in Noah’s Arc, where it rained 40days and 40nights; so it’ll put the entire city underwater. I know my example is kinda lame; I just don’t like the idea of ending the world, I get too stressed just by thinking about it. I hope I got my answer right for the first question.

Movies today sort of depict reality, but they tend to over do it that’s why people say what happens in movies stays in the movies, but what really movies are made up of, are just reflections of what’s happening around us now. I think Technology will be one of big causes of the end of the world. We keep on complaining that God hates us ‘cause of the weather and catastrophes, but we humans and the technology we brought to this world are the primary cause of it. For example, Global Warming (if worsen, I do believe that this may also cause the end of the world), today we keep on experiencing this weird sudden change of climate and extreme heat, if our ozone layers’ state worsen by the intense emission of CFCs, then maybe sunlight will be our greatest fear, ‘cause there’ll be nothing protecting us from the harmful rays; the earth will lose it’s shield from foreign objects from outer space. Our technology harms the environment, which leads to global warming, if we start now and innovate on things that will help and fix the situation right now, we might actually prevent the end of the world (I think haha).

So my blog is a bit short. I’m just not comfortable with the topic, I don’t want the world to end. Let’s all save mother earth J

we are all normal

I found this article about these human mutations - Cyclopia, Tree Man, Mermaid Syndrome, Werewolf Syndrome, Gigantism and Dwarfism.


FIND THE ARTICLE HERE


So the first one is Cylopia - a birth defect of having only one eye, because during pregnancy, doesn’t allow the orbits of the eyes to separate into two cavities. According to the article chances of survival for the infant is little. This is the first time I heard about this "mutation" maybe because not many survived when born :(


Next is Tree Man. Okay now I heard about this one and saw it on Ripley's believe it or not I think. It's a rare case of this man growing huge warts and his hands and feet looks like tree branches. The said cause of this disease is HPV virus that can either cause cancer or grow warts on skin. I feel bad for the guy, 'cause I'm sure he didn't get to have a normal life because of this "mutation"


Third, Mermaid and Werewolf Syndrome, like the Tree Man, I've also heard about this one, where the feet is under-developed and wasn't able to separate at infancy, which makes the legs looks like a mermaid's tail. Now a days for someone to have this "mutation", doctors are now able to operate and separate the legs, but the patient has to go under therapy to somehow have a normale life :) The Werewolf Syndrome I also saw this in Ripley's, when someone grows a substantial amount of hair all over the body which eventually resembles a werewolf. This is also caused by a birth defect.


Gigantism and Dwarfism. By the name itself we already know what time of mutation are these. First is Gigantism, where someone grows EXTREMELY in height, oh yeah! talk about reaching for the skies haha.  Last is Dwarfism, where can be described as person that is less than 4 feet 10 inches tall. Oh a Filipino holds the record for the shortest man alive lol I just have to share that :)


Despite these abnormalities, differences we are all normal in the eyes of God, there's a reason and purpose why these things are happening, it's just up to us to find out and understand and not to judge someone by the cover.
