I bet you have heard of the product "Abilify." It is to "cure" bipolar disorder. Definition of bipolar: having two different ideas; having two completely different opinions, attitudes, or natures. Well, ABILIFY being a medicine, the cure to bipolar disorder should cure bipolar right? But guess what? It cures bipolar disorder but brings out another kind of sickness in you.
Side effects: Dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, excess saliva/drooling, blurred vision, weight gain, drowsiness and constipation may occur.
Would you give up your indecisiveness for all those sickness listed above ?
Think about it, trouble in deciding what mood you wanna be in, in place of dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting ... I even find typing the side effects a pain in my butt. Would you rather give up your real emotions to be always tired ? to be always constipated ? Between constipated and indecisiveness of what mood you should be in, which would it be ?
I would choose to be bipolar. && that's just me.
One more popular prescription: Yaz. If people were not that horny and needed [emphasis on NEED] to have sex with everyone and every second, then there would not be the need of creation of the birth control pills. Birth control pills commonly used by people that are not married. Why? you ask. Simply because people need sex like how they need water. Apparently and sadly, it is a fact even though it is merely based on my observation.
Side effects: Well, it has way too many for me to type it out. So here is the link: http://www.drugs.com/sfx/yaz-side-effects.html
So a person would rather have sex, take birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, and risk more sicknesses upon oneself, when the only prevention to pregnancy is abstinence. That statement right there makes no sense to me. Does it to you ?
Common sense meets culture shock.

Bygone buried deep : 2009
JANUARY 2009 --]
Pondering on the thought that nightmare has just begun for me. The eighth month of torture in a new surrounding that might be my new home. Spent the New Year missing out on all the fun with my closest buddies back ex-home. This supposedly new home was not all that bad, other than the fact that this is not where I spent most of my life growing up. Despite all these silent torture, I know everything that happens has a reason; God has a purpose for my life. I pray && silently hope that the missing pieces would finally fit in the picture.
FEBRUARY 2009 --]
The month of love. I did celebrate Valentine's Day, with two people I do not really fancy much at all. Well, I finally realize they do not fit in my puzzle which I call FUTURE. [But of course it happened a few months after].
MARCH - AUGUST 2009 --]
Finishing my first school as tortured as life could be. Then, comes summer break which was not any better than the first summer I spent here in my new home, in spite that I had not make much new friends. Living like a bird pet, caged in singing the song of freedom. The happiest I have been since I moved here was getting a car; SWEET SWEET FREEDOM. My second year in Central High School actually started pretty awesome. Social life blossomed since the first football game. Dual enrollment in PHCC definitely helped water my social life. Life was finally not bitter and sour.
SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER 2009 --]
Mesmerized with the simple thought of being in love with DECA. These last few months, I dedicated it to DECA; preparing for competition which I placed second in the Principles of Finance event in Districts and placed fourth in the DECA Quiz Bowl event in States. The biggest opportunity was rained upon me when Mr. Ortiz offered me the Store Manager Position. Leaving the year 2009 with a purpose and finally feeling that I do belong somewhere, DECA. Thank you Mr. Ortiz and Mrs. Gordon for this extremely awesome experience in DECA. Thanks to Michelle Venezia for mentoring me, thanks to Wendy that always been best pal, thanks to Dyana Yusniza for having me as your soulmate. These were the few people that made 2009 a surviveable year for me. Not forgetting helping me becoming the President of CHS DECA. I will not disappoint you CHS DECA; this I promise you.
