Hehe. I had to. I actually really like this song. Actually, I like most of Miley's songs. I don't watch, I listen.
If real trains were exactly like toy trains, I would ride it forever. Here's the difference: A toy train is super cool - especially with its tiny sounds, shiny lights, and awesome clean smoke. A real train is well, real. You lose your balance every now and then when the train starts and stops for some unknown reason. It's loud outside, it feels clogged inside, and there are real people who have no manners...and smell. I have only ridden a modern train. In my country, I have only rode it once or twice. Here's why: By comparison to other countries; order, cleanliness and discipline values are in extreme low.
This should be a fair warning to those who want to ride the train in the Philippines. Take care of your belongings, learn self defense, and be sure to know how to push people out of the way without it bothering your conscience. You may only offend at least 2 people, and they will do it to you too anyway. Not to bring a damper in my society, but this is a fair judgment. Now for the cool part. Has anyone ever ridden trains in Singapore? Sure every now and then you'd have to stand, but their discipline, order, and cleanliness is really amazing. The only thing that's a bit off is maybe the noise of chatter (which is rare) and the smell of armpits. Yes, men have extreme problems in deodorizing their underarms. You know who you are. Somehow, I am amused. Slap (3:45,) close to a punch. Well, everything is good to watch....but very slowly. Barbaric right? I researched a little about quill pens. I think I've used it at least twice or thrice in my life. There was a time when I was interested in calligraphy and wanted to try different types of pens, even the "ancient" ones. Pretty soon I found out my mother was also into calligraphy in her early days. The best part was that she saved most of her pens, and still had some of the old viable ink. I've been using modern calligraphy pens for quite some time now, but I still wondered how people could think of using an animal part as a common tool. I mean, sure cavemens with animal skin as clothes and such and such, but typically all for survival. So why bird feathers of all things to use everyday? Because they were pretty that's why. Nah. Although primarily, bird feathers are just pretty, the tip of a bird feather can be cut and shaped into a very effective writing tool. Humans weren't as barbaric as I thought back then. Quill pens were made from feathers of birds that were used for eating. Perhaps there were a few instances that humans would pluck a few feathers for emergency cases? How evil. Can you imagine if someone would just pluck all of your hair off and let you go? If quill pens fancy your interest, make sure they are purchased in a "no-cruelty quill pen shop." Yes, there is such a thing. "Why Film Photos Are Better Than Digital" | Day 14 | 100 Day Prompt Challenge | Photograph4/23/2014 Ever since the creation of digital films, millions of pictures are taken all over the world in just a day, maybe even just a matter of hours.
Like all other things, an increase in quantity doesn't necessarily mean an increase in quality. Many pictures no longer hold the true value of the subject. The younger generation have come up with an undeniable amount of trends that give shame to the world of photography. Let me put it this way, search this in Google images: #photograph. Now, keep scrolling. Notice that the value of the photos depreciate as you scroll away. The quantity of the results shown is great, but the quality...meh. Among quality and quantity, a few shots from film gives the photographer a limited chance to get the perfect photo so more effort is put in each one. As for digital photos, if you have a memory of even 1 GB, hundreds to maybe a thousand pictures can be taken. Anyone wouldn't think of any shot as waste because it can be deleted, or there's just enough space to get a "better" shot. In the digital world, nothing is permanent. Upload photos, save the files, etc.; when electricity dies, the digital world dies along with it. Film photos however, once developed, although occupies physical space, has its proper sentiments. It can last to even more than a hundred years if taken care of. Have you ever saved a file that's more than 5-7 years old? Do you remember exactly what they look like?
