Let me share some quotes today

I was really going to post about a quote from Gerard Butler, my favorite Phantom. You know, Gerry, he is sexy, deep and he exudes that Phantom charisma in him even when he is not playing the part anymore. This ever elusive bachelor (swoon) convinced a lot of POTO fans that even without proper voice lesson training, a really talented guy who can dramatize his darkness and passion with charm and flair in front of the audience can land the most complicated character ever to grace the theater/movies. If you could listen to his raw vocal performance in YouTube for the Phantom of the Opera then you will understand what I am talking about. 

But yes, I was looking for Gerry's quote however, I came across an article praising Joaquin Phoenix's The Joker performance. I haven't seen the film yet, but I am a fan of Joaquin ever since Gladiator. The review talks about paradigm shifts on anti-hero becoming more understood, and even justified in his dark behavior. Anyways, this is the quote that I was looking for, imagine this was delivered with lots of passion and intensity by Joaquin.

Anyways, I was gathering some materials for this post that I come across this sentence

The society's failure to nurture a healthy masculine

Yeah, that...

Also I include this in my 2-decade research: the toxic masculinity

Why do we forget that men are also suffering? I want to deep dive into this pool too, but one at a time.

Also, who wasn't surprised by the big announcement of the philanthropic couple billionaire Melinda and Bill Gates. It must be difficult to go on their separate ways after 27 years together, but of course, there is a system in their relationship where Bill gets to do what he wants from time to time, now I am thinking about Melinda. Was she also allowed to do what Bill does? Does Melinda want to have extra affairs too? If the other one does it, does it follow that the other must do it too, for the sake of equality? What if the behavior of the other is not the same as that of partner? Will we call it equality too?

Well, those are very personal questions and we don't really know what their set-up as a couple is/was, so we have to respect their privacy. But one quote really caught my attention, it was an interview with Melinda about her own foundation for women empowerment.

Okay, now time for self-reflection as we enter another new moon cycle.

Laters again my dear readers.

Okay, I feel like I need to clarify this post

The books I am talking about are the books that I have been collecting and researching and printing on my own because it is hard to find these titles in the bookstores nowadays

I have actually formally subscribed to Scribd bec this website has a lot of books that I need right now

And these books, though hard to find in bookstores and libraries online can be found in Scribd, so I don't mind the monthly fees, as long as I get my hands into hard-to-find titles

And what I mean by new books being given to me, it is the feeling that I get when I have these printed copies bound in our local bookbinding shop

The staff in this bookbinding shop are very helpful and they really do a great job

So far, I have five books bound in our local bookbinding shop

I have more than 30 titles that I am planning to have printed and bound within this year

So, seriously, this is the kilig factor ^^

I have mentioned before that I am committing myself to 2-decades research, yes and this right now is the materials gathering phase. And boy, do I have a lot of materials!

I need to sort them out actually, so I have to update my book list from time to time

So far, the rough titles of my research topic are as follows

(1) Divine Feminine ~ I have titles by the great Joseph Campbell and Karen Tate

(1.5) Lifestyle of women in antiquity and early civilizations ~ Stephanie Lynn Budin, Judith Weingarten

(2) Eleusinian Mysteries ~ I have titles from Carol Pearson, Jean Shinoda Balen

(3) Histories of Sexuality ~ Of course its Michel Foucault, and then Stephen Garton

(4) Plutonians ~ From the perspective of Astrology in Psychoanalysis

(5) Hades Moon ~ Same as above

(6) Psychoanalysis ~ Jung, Freud and Jacques Lacan

These are my titles so far and I have to add some more but I am busy right now so I will update this when I have time

I just really want to make it clear that these books are my treasures right now

Don't Tell 'Em | Jeremih (cover by Lorde)

Rhythm is a dancer, I need a companion
Oh, I guess that must be you
Body like the summer, you're like no other
Don't you tell 'em what we do

Don't tell 'em, don't tell 'em
