music in movies

figurativeme @figurativeme (1089) • Philippines 5 Mar 11

I watched the third sequel of Bourne Identity for the nth time this morning and once again I got amazed at what music can do to enhance the movie. I love the music background of this movie (though I didn't catch the title of the...

grandepagh Music is one of the most basic senses that man has. We hear sound inside our mother's womb before we are born. Sonic engrams are created in our minds while we are in the womb, so we respond emotionally to specific sounds later in life (to learn more about...

shopping when low

figurativeme @figurativeme (1089) • Philippines 21 Dec 10

Read an article on fashion which says that people tend to shop more when they are on their lows. Could be true as clothes, shoes and accessories would make us feel good particularly when we need a booster from our mood. Do you...

mood booster

megamatt I think that there is something about that. People are going to buy things to help bring up their mood. Therefore they might go shopping to help lift their spirits. Really that can be a bad thing. We can overspend a bit and then regret it later. Shopping is...

I assume that we have times in a day that we don't like most. But there must be times in a day, too, that we like most. I realized this today. I passed by a laboratory to pick up a specimen analysis on my way to work. It was...

We all have idiosyncrasies whether we are aware of it or not. Mine is that I could not eat when somebody is reading newspaper. I would wait until the person folds the paper and put it somewhere I could not see. Even then, I could...

being poor

figurativeme @figurativeme (1089) • Philippines 13 Dec 10

I don't mean to sound cynic, however, I have actually lost my desire (or perhaps I'm just in 'denial') of marriage. I mean, what's the point in it other than the legalization of things? These days, there are no longer anything...

laydee I think there's some truth to this one. I have seen my relatives and friends go from being a 'happy' person to a not-so-happy person when they grow older. Though the change isn't that extreme. I guess it comes with the lack of hormones. Just like when we women...
