Mafe's L-I-F-E

Today is the birthday of my one and only Father, the King in my heart. He’s my number one fan. Someday, I’ll meet my prince who is like my father who treats me as a princess. Figuratively. 

Happy 54th birthday to my loving father! We miss you! Thank you for everything. 

Wondering about my title post? Well, it’s about Big Bang’s latest song. It’s been released about 2 weeks ago. Monster MV has now reached a monstrous 10 million views on Youtube. 

Some would ask if I do understand the song. My heart understands it by listening to the beat and the emotions of the voices. My mind is able to process it by the English translations. Now, I would say YES! I believe that music is a universal language. We have our own taste of music but generally we all love music. 

On to the music video, it is really a monstrous music video. Personally, I always love how Big Bang’s music videos are conceptualized. I have my own interpretation of their Monster’s MV concept.

The five members of Big Bang are monsters in their own ways.

G-dragon

He is a devil here with one horn. He was once told by some netizens that he is the one who is a bad one in their group and a bad influence in relation to his weed incident. One horn signifies that he knows that he has a devil side and he’s not perfect. He is a normal person who commits mistakes just like us and each one has a devil side. Aside from the devil costume, he has a so called mushroom hair covering his eyes. It was like he wants to avoid the judging eyes of people but he can’t because he choose to face them courageously and prove to everyone that he’s not a monster as what they think he is.

TOP

A vampire. Vampires do not age. TOP is a 10 year old boy trapped in a body of a 24 year old man. This man acts as a charismatic man when performing but when not he’s back to his kid self. With that well-sculpted face, this man looks forever young. Some thinks he’s snob and has a cold attitude but in reality he’s not. 

DAESUNG

A werewolf. Behind that well built body is a soft heart of a smiling angel. He may look so strong but in reality he is hurting and keeping it to his self. He once thought of suicide in order to escape. I think some thought that he’s like a superman thinking he is not hurting so some netizens keeps on bashing him.

SEUNGRI

A mad scientist. I really have no idea on what character Seungri is trying to portray in the MV. I’ve read in one of the comments on YT that he’s like a mad scientist and I was convinced. haha Kidding aside, this maknae talks a lot. He sometimes don’t know when not to talk. He is like a scientist who wants to discover new things. He’s not afraid even in a young age. Even if people would criticize his new discoveries, he’ll still want to share it. Some doesn’t appreciate this attitude of him. Some thinks he’s Mr. Know It All.

TAEYANG

A bull. Well  with that Mickey Mouse hair, I think he’s a bull. With that sculptured body, he’s physically strong and some would think he’s aggressive just like a bull.  But he’s the opposite. He never had a girlfriend (as what he claims). He just needs to be known better and discover his great passion in life. So girls don’t be afraid of him. haha

MYSELF

Well, I’m not part of the MV. I am my own monster (not a specific one). My weak personality is killing me. I have a lot of fears but I’m overcoming it with the help of God. I always utter this when I feel afraid, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.” 

The line that hit my heart in the song Monster: 

Everyone may look at me with judging eyes, but what really hurts is the fact that you have become a part of that ‘everyone

What hurts most is being judged, but it becomes more worst when someone that you thought will be on your side when everyone judged you became part of that everyone. 

We may not be monsters in real life but we do have a monstrous attitude in each one of us. We can overcome it and become better. Choose to be a better person. People be careful and always give a person a benefit of a doubt. You may know the story, but not the whole story. You may know what happened, but you’ll never know what he/she’s been through. Don’t ever judge. Simply remember the Golden Rule. 

To end this post, here’s the music video of Big Bang’s Monster composed by G-Dragon. 

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a personal text post here on Tumblr. I even ignore updating my micro blogging account, Twitter. I think I’m not that much a fan of social networking sites. In terms of updating, I still prefer updating my Twitter account than my Facebook account. Twitter gives me more the feeling of freedom in posting unlike Facebook. 

Hey friends, I’m still alive. Busy with work and loving life. My mind is on set today for a blog update. Not lazy today. Oh yesssss. 

I’m fond of taking random photos that could remind me of what happened to me on that specific day. Love taking pictures of non-living things than taking selcas!

On my first ever salary, I treated my mom a simple lunch in KFC. I’ve been bugging her to eat somewhere else but she wants KFC! 

The feeling of having my first salary can’t be explained by words. I actually want to save all my money. haha But it feels good to be able to share my earned money to my parents and brother. My mom cooked spaghetti, ginataang bilo-bilo and menudo as thanksgiving. I also bought a whole roasted chicken.

Things I bought on my first salary. I returned my Goody Bun Spiral and have it exchanged for Spin Pins.

My 2nd shoes that I bought since I’ve started working. Some of my duty paraphernalia with my ID. 

My patient’s mom gave this to me before her daughter was discharged. Simple yet memorable. Priceless.

I’m learning to appreciate everything in my life whether it’s good, bad, ugly, unfair, sadness, happiness, NAME IT. As a 21 years old, I still feel that I’m not that matured enough. I still have LOT of things TO LEARN and TO EXPERIENCE. 

I’ve been so thankful to God that I’m so blessed. I’m working in a tertiary hospital. I have lots of lovely people in my life. I was able to surpass a my-world-broke-into-pieces phase. I’ve learned a lot from that phase of my life. I’m very much thankful because I know He has good plans for me. My most powerful chant is my prayers. My faith to Him makes me stronger as day passes by. 

Hope don’t expect. Trust Him.

God bless.
