the non-perks of working for cheating studentsto writer,most photocopies that u sent me dont match the books that you used in the work cited page,and some of them dont even related to my essay topic. Can you plsease send me the copies of the sources taht you used and shown on the work cited page.Secondly, the essay you sent me doesnt follow the MLA format. For the cited work , u must put (author name, page no) after the sentences that you used.I have put the instruction clearly when i order it...would you please send me a complete version asap.Thank you.dear customer,
you think the books don't match the photocopies because you've been reading the CHAPTER TITLE. they are not directly related to the topic, because i used them only to support some points made in your topic.
YES, they are in MLA format. i am sure because i used an online bibliography maker. i'm only guilty of not citing the work in the essay itself.
if you're so particular about your article, why didn't you cite your own sources as you were writing it? you gave me a half-assed 4-page essay to edit with lots of information that had no footnotes or citations whatsoever. and you expect me to find sources about things you've already written! if you're so OC about it, why didnt you just do your homework yourself?!
and one more thing, AYUS-AYUSIN MO MUNA GRAMMAR MO BAGO KA MAGREKLAMO SA'KIN AH!

oh man, i'm really taking my comm theories to heart. :)) my favorite so far has been theodor adorno's culture industry which has further fueled my obsession with Fight Club and Into The Wild-esque beliefs and concepts. strange, lots of people think they agree with Tyler Durden and Christopher McCandless, but really, people (or people i know) just like capitalism more.
but the society's clingy-ness to commodified and industrialized products and ideas are not what i'm going to complain about today :3 it'll be about how i know lots of people and fans of Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (of Twilight fame) so much that they are almost bugging them to get together for real. what the fuck? and no, its not that i like Michael Angarano (Kstew's current boyfriend) more or whatever. i dont even like Twilight that much. and i sure as hell dont care about the cast. i'm just thinking about how these fans are soooo into Bella/Edward that they're forgetting that Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are real people. with preferences. with personal lives beyond the fictional characters they represent. so what if they look that good together? its just not fair that its like their audience is forcing them to make their characters real. besides, how do these fans think Kristen Stewart, Michael Angarano and Rob Pattinson would feel???
M.A : oh, kristen, how am i going to keep you? i dont quite have that rugged, vampire-y charm rob posesses, and people probably dont even remember Sky High.
K.S : babe babe, its okay; i only use my bedroom eyes with rob so i can satisfy all my adoring fans. our almost-kiss in the mtv movie awards was just to hype up New Moon, and i only gave him my shoestring bracelet and backpack as a publicity stunt.
R.P : *awkwaaaard* dude, michael, i'm really sorry for all the weirdness this saga is causing. but give it a few more years, you know, maybe all this shit'll die down. uhhh, i hope you can take it 'til then though...*awkwaaaard*
dont you think all that pressure and scrutiny from these fans who look into the tiniest things are affecting their personal lives?? :| i mean these actors are being almost dehumanized now! i mean, how much do you really need to be involved with their life? they're just trying to do their jobs as performers. why dont you bug your friends who have good chemisty but are with different people to get together while you're at it? would you do that to your friends, who are close to you? no? but its similar! see, slaves of the culture industry and the mass ornament dont care about that- they care about their needs as a consumer! they think of these actors as commodities because they're not friends or are related with them! how sad is that? we are such docile sheep of capitalism. whew, okay. rant over.
this culture industrialized world has left me in despair and more cynical than ever!! :(

hmmn, so i'm tumblr-hopping, and i chanced upon one of my highschool batchmate's tumblrs. lots of pictures of the things she own, places she's been to; a shutterbug and photography enthusiast. but as i went through page after page after page of her tumblr, i got less and less impressed by her belongings and memories. i mean, its no offense to her who takes really good pictures, but it made me really appreciate the bare necessities. though, i think i am the only one i know who's closest to pulling a Christopher McCandless and letting go of everything and living a life in nature with only survival things. i really can handle life without all the clutter. i mean, i look at her pictures and i think 'my god, so you cant survive without all that shit?' these things we busy ourselves with having and wanting to have, its all really...not the point of life. but maybe its just that i'm just easily satisfied with what i can have while exposed to people who want to and can have everything they want. i'm sure lots of these things they own are to appreciate culture and art, which is nice, i think, but really, isnt it weird to think that now art and culture are exclusive to who can afford it- when its supposed to capture life for everyone?. material things may make life easier and prettier, but if you're looking to really live life- having lots of nifty shit isnt the way to go.
at this point in my life i can still be an ingrate and complain about the things i cant have. but srsly, compared to other "more fortunate" friends of mine, i still consider myself lucky i'm closer to that "naivety" siegfried kracauer describes. it is true- capitalism, efficiency- they kinda make us less human doesnt it?
dear friend, from what i see from your blogs...everything you like is ... commodified. :|

when i hear stories like that, i try really hard to pretend its not really happening. i just think its too much. too sad. i feel it shouldnt happen to people, not especially to people i know and are close to me. it breaks my heart to have witnessed everything, even if i never worried that it would happen. maybe i over-idealized it. :|
i understand it more now; i guess the proximity of an event to your life really makes it more... real.
too bad ignoring something wont make it go away. :(

sigh.
kubo tite (pronounced taito, okey?) has disappointed me again with his deus ex machinas in bleach!
at around the 360th chapter it seems like all the soul society captains are winning against the espadas, coz they've all bankai'd and their respective opponents have been drawn with the shocked, fearful eyes with dilated pupils.
but i've just finished reading the 364th chapter and WTF?? apparently the appearance of wonderweiss, aizen's child sidekick means that all the other espada will be revived from what looked like inescapable death. and right after the strip where aizen's, gin's and tousen's smug faces are shown,
the vaizards suddenly show up from out of nowhere. i mean, WHERE THE HELL IS ALL THIS BULLSHIT COMING FROM?!?!
the ridiculous arcs Bleach is constantly pulled into is starting to show kubo's poor control of his story, in my opinion. of course i probably havent read enough long-winded shonen mangas for my opinion to be reliable. but seriously, deus ex machinas are clearly being abused already!! tite, it's really getting old.
add to my frustration are some inexplicable characters and character development. liiiiike, how did ichigo get his superhypermega bankai mode, why is yammy suddenly the strongest espada, what's up with rukia and sado's weird power fluctuations? and why is orihime still alive?? she only ever shows two emotions: fear and wistfulness. srsly, is she only being kept alive because of her jugs? :| i really think tite should kill off one of protagonists by now, it'll somehow save bleach from its absurdity.
i'm glad i dont watch the anime though, i find the animation off-putting and apparently, according to forums, the fillers are getting really annoying and are actually being incorporated in the main storyline.
but no matter how weird Bleach gets, i dont know how i always,
without fail, read it at the end of every week. its the perfect example of what my com100 prof says about habits; it can lead to a paralyzing comfort without us knowing!
D:
oh nooo... i cant quit you, bleach. huhuhu.

here's a fun fact about me: (i think) i'm an agnostic. no, this is not something i picked up just recently. i've been wondering about why i've never held mass or any religious tradition as important concepts to prioritize in terms of faith since i was in...hmm, about 4th grade i guess. i thought then that it was wrong to "doubt" like that so i tried to think that these rituals we do as catholics are really as important as my elders told me. but i never really did brush off that thought completely. and everytime i asked people assume that its something extreme and would suddenly preach to me like i'm someone in need of saving. i mean i understand that it'll somehow be defending the faith, but i'm not denying the existence of God, i'm just asking questions about our RELIGION! :|
i think it was sometime in highschool that i found a term for my 'belief', or lack thereof... this term called agnosticism. google defines an agnostic as "someone who claims that they do not know or are unable to know whether God exists". and that doesnt apply to me, HAHA. it's just that the term is near to what my opinion on faith is. i mean i believe in a God, or a primordial being, i just dont.. get these practices that are 'required' for this faith to be valid. isnt living a good life and having a good spiritual relationship with this supreme being enough? religion is like the middle man in this relationship, and humans who are capable of error run it, so like, why not cut off the middle man and focus on a purer relationship with God/Supreme Being? plus there're always these lines drawn between catholicism and other religions, and i think that you dont have to believe in the catholic God to be considered good or something. i grew up in a very catholic family and school and culture, so the belief of the existence of God was hardwired into me since birth, it's probably why the faith stuck[, or i dont know, i still wonder about how would my belief be if i didnt get conditioned into believing in God? would i be an atheist then?] XD . i was thinking that with all the stuff religion tries to teach us, the main point is to love and help and do good things. you'd actually accomplish that if you're not going to mass all the time, i'm just saying. i'm not even sure if the catholic vision of the afterlife is what we're gonna encounter so why bank everything on one belief, one doctrine? the bottomline of believing in a God to me, is not to worship a deity or anything, but to keep our moral toes in line. and other religions probably have the same goal. in all honesty i've lived most of life [since my realization] with karma as my primary spiritual guide. i find that its simple, and does the job of being a good person without being stuck-up or anything.
so i acknowledge that i might just want to customize my faith in a way that its convenient for me. maybe i just dont like mass or religious ceremonies. maybe i'm just rationalizing. maybe i just have a weak conviction. i acknowledge that. but i'm not sure yet. XD i mean i do believe in what i think of religion, but all this Theo121 (YES, natividad is working her magic on me) is making me do a double-take. a part of me wants a chance to believe fully again, in the Church and her teachings, because i might know too little about my faith to decide about what i dont believe in. too soon. but i havent heard the right words to make me snap out of this agnosticism (if i need to). i havent found anyone to explain to me without seeming too preachy. i want someone who has been where i am or something, someone who knows what i need to hear. [my parents were never helpful, when i told them that i believe in God but not in religion, they shook their heads and said that i cant believe in God without believing in religion. WTF?!] :| anyway, there, i'm just saying i believe that all we really need is love, i think doing good is just the perfect way to thank and exalt God/Supreme Being. I'm calling Him God because that's what they told me His name was when i was a kid, but you know, He could be someone else. and i may need help, so i need someone to convince me if you think i need convincing! :-S
LOL HAHA I AM SOOOO INCOHERENT =)) blaaaaah.
