Gaia's Tragedy, 2

F. Still a story post, move on if you dislike this style of writing. --- Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in space... The trio continues on with their adventure to the Messier Galaxy... What surprises will spook them in their journey? As Nemesis slowly exits the Sol System, the ship transitions to its hyperjump phase, jumping towards a bright star, named Jumino. Found by an cosmologist in 2050, it would be one of the key experiment zone for humankind... The construction of a Dyson Sphere. "And if you look towards your left, you will see a big pile of mess leftover by the E.E.C.C, or the Experimental Energy Collection Corp." "The disaster of the Dyson Sphere. Legend says that-" "Now Larry, don't you dare bring up your 'beast of the abyss' myth again. This is humankind first attempt to construct something as large as the Sun. It's perfectly normal to make mistakes... Don't you think so too, Miss Gaia?" Gaia stares at the rui...

Gaia's Tragedy, 1

E. I'm bored and I don't think anyone is going to read blogs any longer so I decided to write some stuff. Blogs discussing stuff will be back on next week lol if anyone reads this. --- Year 2077 Venus. Once thought inhabitable by the sapiens of Earth, now terra-formed into a habitable planets with cities hovering above the volcanic plains of Venus. Earth has long established contact with several alien groups from other galaxies, and now Venus, also known as the third home of the humans, turns into a stop for weary interstellar travelers. In the bar, many stop by to enjoy alcohol made with exotic goods, and to share stories while adventuring out in the vastness of space. One corner of the bar is such, filled with tales of tragedy and triumphs, hosted by an man named Larry. Larry Perkins. My crew and I got off the starship Nemesis after a long trip to the Andromeda galaxy, liberating planets claimed by rebels and exploring unknown worlds. Many of us wanted to rest, and m...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Keeping a Weekly Blog Helps Me Improve Myself

!nuf si golb. Welcome back to another blog post my friends. The god have spoken and we don't get a free topic this week. So today, we're going to talk about how keeping a weekly blog helps me improve myself. "Oh look, something positive for once." Yes, yes very funny. Well lets jump into it, shall we? For most people, me included, we can all agree that we don't actually do the blogs "weekly". Perhaps the lack of time or just the simple procrastination made us that way, but I'm sure that we all don't really do blogs on time. I myself started doing blogs on time after the exams simply because I was focusing on studying.  The blogs themselves are fun to do. They allow us to explore more topics,  be it by reading another person's blog, or maybe looking up some information just to write your own. It helps you practice writing , preparing yourself for the English exams coming in the future so you don't get stuck looking on a ...

Free Topic (literally)

Literally. #justiceforweimin Welcome back to the middle of the week, folks. "wait wait.... middle of the week? Nani?" Since I didn't really prepare anything thorough this time, today we're going to actually talk about Free Topic. "Weird... but go on." Freedom. It's something that everyone wants, right? Be it from slavery, endless stress working or confinement. But, is too much freedom actually bad? Let's look at it from a point of view we all can share, especially to those doing blogs as ordered  requested by Puan Monica, our English teacher. Personally, I find free topics easy to do. It's fun sharing and discussing topics that aren't well known by others, such as the previously discussed Negativity Bias , or the history of the Princess of Paleontology, Mary Annings. It gives me and others who like to write a chance to flex their creative muscles, to introduce a topic to others, or to share their fantasies through sto...
