48 Laws of Power (grabbed this from foofy's blog)
Law 1
Never Outshine the Master
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
Law 2
Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies
Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
Law 3
Conceal your Intentions
Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelope them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.
Law 4
Always Say Less than Necessary
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
Law 5
So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard it with your Life
Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once you slip, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them.
Law 6
Court Attention at all Cost
Everything is judged by its appearance; what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious, than the bland and timid masses.
Law 7
Get others to do the Work for you, but Always Take the Credit
Use the wisdom, knowledge, and legwork of other people to further your own cause. Not only will such assistance save you valuable time and energy, it will give you a godlike aura of efficiency and speed. In the end your helpers will be forgotten and you will be remembered. Never do yourself what others can do for you.
Law 8
Make other People come to you – use Bait if Necessary
When you force the other person to act, you are the one in control. It is always better to make your opponent come to you, abandoning his own plans in the process. Lure him with fabulous gains – then attack. You hold the cards.
Law 9
Win through your Actions, Never through Argument
Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.
Law 10
Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky
You can die from someone else’s misery – emotional states are as infectious as disease. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.
Law 11
Learn to Keep People Dependent on You
To maintain your independence you must always be needed and wanted. The more you are relied on, the more freedom you have. Make people depend on you for their happiness and prosperity and you have nothing to fear. Never teach them enough so that they can do without you.
Law 12
Use Selective Honesty and Generosity to Disarm your Victim
One sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of dishonest ones. Open-hearted gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most suspicious people. Once your selective honesty opens a hole in their armor, you can deceive and manipulate them at will. A timely gift – a Trojan horse – will serve the same purpose.
Law 13
When Asking for Help, Appeal to People’s Self-Interest,
Never to their Mercy or Gratitude
If you need to turn to an ally for help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance and good deeds. He will find a way to ignore you. Instead, uncover something in your request, or in your alliance with him, that will benefit him, and emphasize it out of all proportion. He will respond enthusiastically when he sees something to be gained for himself.
Law 14
Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy
Knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead. Better still: Play the spy yourself. In polite social encounters, learn to probe. Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions. There is no occasion that is not an opportunity for artful spying.
Law 15
Crush your Enemy Totally
All great leaders since Moses have known that a feared enemy must be crushed completely. (Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.) If one ember is left alight, no matter how dimly it smolders, a fire will eventually break out. More is lost through stopping halfway than through total annihilation: The enemy will recover, and will seek revenge. Crush him, not only in body but in spirit.
Law 16
Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor
Too much circulation makes the price go down: The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear. If you are already established in a group, temporary withdrawal from it will make you more talked about, even more admired. You must learn when to leave. Create value through scarcity.
Law 17
Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability
Humans are creatures of habit with an insatiable need to see familiarity in other people’s actions. Your predictability gives them a sense of control. Turn the tables: Be deliberately unpredictable. Behavior that seems to have no consistency or purpose will keep them off-balance, and they will wear themselves out trying to explain your moves. Taken to an extreme, this strategy can intimidate and terrorize.
Law 18
Do Not Build Fortresses to Protect Yourself – Isolation is Dangerous
The world is dangerous and enemies are everywhere – everyone has to protect themselves. A fortress seems the safest. But isolation exposes you to more dangers than it protects you from – it cuts you off from valuable information, it makes you conspicuous and an easy target. Better to circulate among people find allies, mingle. You are shielded from your enemies by the crowd.
Law 19
Know Who You’re Dealing with – Do Not Offend the Wrong Person
There are many different kinds of people in the world, and you can never assume that everyone will react to your strategies in the same way. Deceive or outmaneuver some people and they will spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge. They are wolves in lambs’ clothing. Choose your victims and opponents carefully, then – never offend or deceive the wrong person.
Law 20
Do Not Commit to Anyone
It is the fool who always rushes to take sides. Do not commit to any side or cause but yourself. By maintaining your independence, you become the master of others – playing people against one another, making them pursue you.
Law 21
Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker – Seem Dumber than your Mark
No one likes feeling stupider than the next persons. The trick, is to make your victims feel smart – and not just smart, but smarter than you are. Once convinced of this, they will never suspect that you may have ulterior motives.
Law 22
Use the Surrender Tactic: Transform Weakness into Power
When you are weaker, never fight for honor’s sake; choose surrender instead. Surrender gives you time to recover, time to torment and irritate your conqueror, time to wait for his power to wane. Do not give him the satisfaction of fighting and defeating you – surrender first. By turning the other check you infuriate and unsettle him. Make surrender a tool of power.
Law 23
Concentrate Your Forces
Conserve your forces and energies by keeping them concentrated at their strongest point. You gain more by finding a rich mine and mining it deeper, than by flitting from one shallow mine to another – intensity defeats extensity every time. When looking for sources of power to elevate you, find the one key patron, the fat cow who will give you milk for a long time to come.
Law 24
Play the Perfect Courtier
The perfect courtier thrives in a world where everything revolves around power and political dexterity. He has mastered the art of indirection; he flatters, yields to superiors, and asserts power over others in the mot oblique and graceful manner. Learn and apply the laws of courtiership and there will be no limit to how far you can rise in the court.
Law 25
Re-Create Yourself
Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define if for you. Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.
Law 26
Keep Your Hands Clean
You must seem a paragon of civility and efficiency: Your hands are never soiled by mistakes and nasty deeds. Maintain such a spotless appearance by using others as scapegoats and cat’s-paws to disguise your involvement.
Law 27
Play on People’s Need to Believe to Create a Cultlike Following
People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something. Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow. Keep your words vague but full of promise; emphasize enthusiasm over rationality and clear thinking. Give your new disciples rituals to perform, ask them to make sacrifices on your behalf. In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power.
Law 28
Enter Action with Boldness
If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.
Law 29
Plan All the Way to the End
The ending is everything. Plan all the way to it, taking into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twists of fortune that might reverse your hard work and give the glory to others. By planning to the end you will not be overwhelmed by circumstances and you will know when to stop. Gently guide fortune and help determine the future by thinking far ahead.
Law 30
Make your Accomplishments Seem Effortless
Your actions must seem natural and executed with ease. All the toil and practice that go into them, and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed. When you act, act effortlessly, as if you could do much more. Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work – it only raises questions. Teach no one your tricks or they will be used against you.
Law 31
Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards you Deal
The best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the other person a choice: Your victims feel they are in control, but are actually your puppets. Give people options that come out in your favor whichever one they choose. Force them to make choices between the lesser of two evils, both of which serve your purpose. Put them on the horns of a dilemma: They are gored wherever they turn.
Law 32
Play to People’s Fantasies
The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes for disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert: Everyone flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses.
Law 33
Discover Each Man’s Thumbscrew
Everyone has a weakness, a gap in the castle wall. That weakness is usual y an insecurity, an uncontrollable emotion or need; it can also be a small secret pleasure. Either way, once found, it is a thumbscrew you can turn to your advantage.
Law 34
Be Royal in your Own Fashion: Act like a King to be treated like one
The way you carry yourself will often determine how you are treated; In the long run, appearing vulgar or common will make people disrespect you. For a king respects himself and inspires the same sentiment in others. By acting regally and confident of your powers, you make yourself seem destined to wear a crown.
Law 35
Master the Art of Timing
Never seem to be in a hurry – hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.
Law 36
Disdain Things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best Revenge
By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. The more attention you pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it. It is sometimes best to leave things alone. If there is something you want but cannot have, show contempt for it. The less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem.
Law 37
Create Compelling Spectacles
Striking imagery and grand symbolic gestures create the aura of power – everyone responds to them. Stage spectacles for those around you, then full of arresting visuals and radiant symbols that heighten your presence. Dazzled by appearances, no one will notice what you are really doing.
Law 38
Think as you like but Behave like others
If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.
Law 39
Stir up Waters to Catch Fish
Anger and emotion are strategically counterproductive. You must always stay calm and objective. But if you can make your enemies angry while staying calm yourself, you gain a decided advantage. Put your enemies off-balance: Find the chink in their vanity through which you can rattle them and you hold the strings.
Law 40
Despise the Free Lunch
What is offered for free is dangerous – it usually involves either a trick or a hidden obligation. What has worth is worth paying for. By paying your own way you stay clear of gratitude, guilt, and deceit. It is also often wise to pay the full price – there is no cutting corners with excellence. Be lavish with your money and keep it circulating, for generosity is a sign and a magnet for power.
Law 41
Avoid Stepping into a Great Man’s Shoes
What happens first always appears better and more original than what comes after. If you succeed a great man or have a famous parent, you will have to accomplish double their achievements to outshine them. Do not get lost in their shadow, or stuck in a past not of your own making: Establish your own name and identity by changing course. Slay the overbearing father, disparage his legacy, and gain power by shining in your own way.
Law 42
Strike the Shepherd and the Sheep will Scatter
Trouble can often be traced to a single strong individual – the stirrer, the arrogant underling, the poisoned of goodwill. If you allow such people room to operate, others will succumb to their influence. Do not wait for the troubles they cause to multiply, do not try to negotiate with them – they are irredeemable. Neutralize their influence by isolating or banishing them. Strike at the source of the trouble and the sheep will scatter.
Law 43
Work on the Hearts and Minds of Others
Coercion creates a reaction that will eventually work against you. You must seduce others into wanting to move in your direction. A person you have seduced becomes your loyal pawn. And the way to seduce others is to operate on their individual psychologies and weaknesses. Soften up the resistant by working on their emotions, playing on what they hold dear and what they fear. Ignore the hearts and minds of others and they will grow to hate you.
Law 44
Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect
The mirror reflects reality, but it is also the perfect tool for deception: When you mirror your enemies, doing exactly as they do, they cannot figure out your strategy. The Mirror Effect mocks and humiliates them, making them overreact. By holding up a mirror to their psyches, you seduce them with the illusion that you share their values; by holding up a mirror to their actions, you teach them a lesson. Few can resist the power of Mirror Effect.
Law 45
Preach the Need for Change, but Never Reform too much at Once
Everyone understands the need for change in the abstract, but on the day-to-day level people are creatures of habit. Too much innovation is traumatic, and will lead to revolt. If you are new to a position of power, or an outsider trying to build a power base, make a show of respecting the old way of doing things. If change is necessary, make it feel like a gentle improvement on the past.
Law 46
Never appear too Perfect
Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. Envy creates silent enemies. It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.
Law 47
Do not go Past the Mark you Aimed for; In Victory, Learn when to Stop
The moment of victory is often the moment of greatest peril. In the heat of victory, arrogance and overconfidence can push you past the goal you had aimed for, and by going too far, you make more enemies than you defeat. Do not allow success to go to your head. There is no substitute for strategy and careful planning. Set a goal, and when you reach it, stop.
Law 48
Assume Formlessness
By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack. Instead of taking a form for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself adaptable and on the move. Accept the fact that nothing is certain and no law is fixed. The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water; never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything changes.

some rapper crushes... (add them to my list of faves.)
the man on top is chingy. i love "one call away" and "holiday inn" because i simply like his distinct style and his voice, of course. he's not as hot as the the next guy, T.I. hehe:) omg! i love his smile! and his greatest song, for me, so far, would be "whatever you like." i just like him! sexy.
the next man, pharell williams, has to be on my faves list! you could just tell he's got the brains. looks too! hehe:) for me, his best songs would be "beautiful" and ah... there's just plenty... his style(musica and fashion), his taste level is just... amazing, maybe even revolutionary. he has accomplished so much. i like him.
i liked their music waaay back... since a few years ago but i have not yet grown tired of them. hehe:) to me, they continue to impress and amaze.:)
disclaimer: this list is not exclusive since there are more rappers i like. but purely for their talent. the only difference these guys have is that they look so damn good! to me at least... i wish i could see them! maybe i might pee my pants... haha!
bite me!
ciao!

these are a few of my favorite things: mark ryden
my latest discovery is mark ryder. omg! i love his works. here are some of his work---
(gamay ra ang pix kay gitamad kog upload uie! pero sure lang, daghan ayos!)
mark ryden's works are surreal, cute and morbid, and intricate. i think it is a lot like alice in wonderland meets pop culture. he makes album covers (michael jackson, ringo star, etc.) and his interpretations of teletubies and some famous actors. it's hard to describe so to see more of his work, try to see http://www.wondertoonel.com/
"Well, I have to admit I don't really paint
my paintings; a Magic Monkey does. He
comes to my studio late at night, when it's
very quiet. Mysterious things happen late at
night when most people are asleep. I help
the magic monkey, but he does most of the
work. My job is to get him to show up. I've
been learning just what that takes. He is
very particular. The right frame of mind is
important; I have to switch my brain from
linear, logical thinking to creative, free
feeling. If I start to think too much, then it's
time for a nap or perhaps build a fort out of
blankets with my son. Things have to flow
from a place that is more subconscious and
uninhibited. When you believe and have
faith things will flow. You can really feel it.
It's like magic. The monkey comes tapping
at the door, we get the paint and brushes
out of the treasure chest and we have a
great time making art."
Mark Ryden, October, 1999
suck on that!
i hate that when i write something, i end up writing about feelings and realizations and other personal regurgitated crap. if i were a stranger, i would not even read my blog because its just some silly girl whining about the stupid things in her life.
maybe my life is stupid and i should just die. but then i want my death to count, or to mean something. right? like sylvia plath or virginia wolfe. so no, death is not an option yet. there is a time for everything. i want my death to mean something.
i had this friend who took her life and i realized so much when she died. when people asked what was going through her mind or what could have made her kill herself, i thought to myself that one big reason is not a requisite of suicide. sometimes people to decide to die. when they do, their death need not be sensationalized or viewed in a negative light. we just need to get the message, or the lesson life was trying to teach us through her death. maybe that was her purpose- to die by suicide so that i/you/we could learn or realize something.
since i don't really know where all this is going, what my purpose is, or if i will die by my hands, i should at least ensure or make an effort that this life does not go to waste. i hope that this life is well-lived or fruitful. i'd like to die knowing that i did something right; that i touched a life, and that i made a difference or gave happiness (even if it did not come easily to me).
perhaps with this blog, or this repository of thougts, feelings and other shtuff, i hope to find myself and my purpose. i need not have an audience, although maybe it would be nice to have someone watch you die. (that's the kind of thing movies and stories are made of.)
maybe i'll read the entries one day and see me die, by and by; entry by entry. but then again, death is the essence of life and we start dying the moment we are born. i apologize to the audience for the depressing and boring, sometimes stupid and morbid content of this page. but then again, i need not say sorry to anyone! i dont need to explain myself to you! you dont like what youre reading? then stop!
bite me!

today, i---
---realized that i haves strong feelings of dislike towards an aunt. whatever. she's the destroyer of lives, of families. i feel bad that she's physically sick and she's probably quite lonely and that she's slowly losing her grip on reality. but whatever. i have childhood scars because of her! forgive and forget? forgive? yeah. forget? malamang hindi! besides, i can always harbor hate for her, even if i have forgiven her. (in the same manner that you hate the bithc next to your recent ex.)
---realized that i truly am a bitter angry person. i just joke, smile and laugh a lot. i choose to be "happy" that's why. but whatever. its so hard to be truly happy, but at least this way i get some taste of it. it's much easier to pretend to be happy than to actually be happy. the battle between doing what is right and what makes you happy is hard. its torture. to the world you must appear happy. whatever.
---realized that to soak in anger feels so good. i hardly acknowledge anger because the world does not want to the "nega vibes." whatever. (like you cant get mad just because it makes them feel awkward...) but when i get angry, i love the rush. yung nanginginig ka na sa galit. sarap ng rush... i have not been violent for such a long time. its been years since i destroyed something out of anger. i have tried to train myself not to be violent or angry. because the world does not want, nor need, anger or violence.
---realized how different i am from my brother. perhaps you could even say we have irreconcilable differences. i especially like how he seems to blame me (or other) people for everything bad that happens. and yes, he also likes my sarcasm.
---realized how madonna's old songs and the "fame" official soundtrack takes me to a shining shimmering splendid place full of colorful feathers and men dressed as women.
---need to study for the last exam of my first semester in lawskool. i am already expecting a failing grade. but i'd still like to be able to answer. m still counting on the possibility that God might decide to make me pass. hehe:D so ciao! i just needed to vent, so i can go back to my old happy self! haha!

i saw tropic thunder!
after jack black said he would still do the movie even though ben stiller would not pay him his normal asking price, i had to see tropic thunder... and i'm just a huge fan of robert downey jr. and he plays "the dude, playin' the dude playin' another dude."
i liked the movie because:
1. i am a fan of funny movies which do not require much thought.
2. the cast? awesome actors. (funny, and convincing.) you could forget the actors (even though they're quite famous and had distinct acting trademarks or styles) and just focus on the characters they're playing.
3. the script? good. i liked it, because even though it was supposed to be a comedy, the script was not incredibly stupid... on the contrary, it was rather smart. i mean, some things they sarcastically poked fun at were serious stuff. the script, for me, was surprisingly original and fresh.
4. the special effects were good. i forgot it was supposed to be on a small budget. the setting was mostly in an asian rain forest. the explosions were realistic, big and grand.
5. the make-up was amazing! it took me a while to recognize tom cruise, who i did not expect would be funny. hehe:) and robert downey jr looked so different and convincing.
6. the comedic timing? i liked it. it was not boring, unlike most spoofs. the action scenes, jokes, fun/funny parts were equally distributed throughout the film. besides, its a combination of action and comedy, how can you go awfully wrong?
i'd give this movie 5 cases of beer! i liked it. so watch it and tell me what you think. :D
bite me.

rage, rage agains the dying of the light -dylan thomas
i actually spent the day online. hehe:) i talked to my friend.
2pac: musta law school?
ally_vosia: tough.
2pac: c madam treasurer?
ally_vosia: makes me wanna slit my wrists and sprinkle the wounds with salt.
2pac: mag suicide na lang, poetic pa..hehehehe
what ever. right now, i'm feeling so tired and desperate and sick of the whole thing. i know its going to be worth the sacrifice and the effort, the blood, sweat and tears, and the process of dying everyday. why should i subject myself to this kind of pain for four more years? why should i restrain myself from being the wanderlust (use of the word may be inappropriate, but i wanna use it.) happy go lucky alcoholic that i thought myself to be? when the end is not guaranteed... and i am not sure if i will finally know happiness with what i achieve... and if i actually achieve anything... what ever.
the funny thing is, even though law school taught me different ways of dying, and is slowly killing me, i still do not see myself stop or quit.
is this the right decision? is this really for me? i guess i'll have to make it mine.
bite me!

ah, yes...
this is another avenue for me to:
- conquer the world with non-sense
- complain about the rest of you
- spread nega vibes by whining and ranting
- (hopefully) extract poetry from angst
- make it seem like life is so much more interesting than it actually is
- talk about boys, friends and gossip
- others
so bite me.
