The film “GATTACA” was set in a futuristic mode, where genetic engineering in humans is being applied. Through this, Vincent (Hawke) was permitted to copy the total genetic identity of Jerome (Law), so that he could apply in a space corporation. His own genetic identity would not allow him to fulfill his dream to reach space because he has some illnesses that hinder him to do so. That is why transferring and copying the genetic makeup from other individual is of great help for him.
The movie has highlighted developments of genetic engineering, particularly in the medical field and forensics. Having this “breakthrough” will benefit a lot of people, especially with those in-born diseases. In addition, solving crime will be in a fast-pace since new techniques are available in tracing the genetic identity of a suspect. However, it will not be an easy task introducing this in recent times because we still consider some societal factors, like human ethics and religious beliefs and practices, and these concerns should not be neglected. It may be a cure to solve genetic diseases and in alleviating human discrimination, but it will take years, perhaps a hundred years, before humanity will accept this “breakthrough.”

11 painful things..

from an sms also... just want to share these "things" because some of them are truly painful, as far as my experience to some of these is concerned... you may have already through with these, but sometimes, when you accidentally or intentionally recall some of these, you find urself in tears, you feel guilty, and you regret some things that should have and should have not done or said... but i guess, its just part of what we call, "human nature".

1. bringing back the feeling youve learned to forget
2. reminiscing the good times
3. trying to hide what youre really feeling.
4. loving someone who loves another.
5. having a commitment with someone that you know wouldnt last.
6. fighting back the love youre feeling.
7. loving a person too much.
8. right love at the wrong time.
9. taking risk to fall in love again.
10. accepting that it was never meant to be.
11. what if...

at the end of day, we contemplate that it could have resulted on this or that way, but the truth is, what we have given up might be good on our part... sooner or later, we realize that some things may not be for us... as a saying goes "some good things may not last long".... rock on!!!

error me...

in my 1st post, dated may30, it should be "i find it", and not "i found it". i guess i forgot to edit it... my apologies to all... Rock on!!!

the beginning...

building my own blog site, other than in friendster and multiply, was just a new platform for me to do. perhaps, it did not get my "consciousness" at first simply because i found it as a writing exercise, and im already fed up with those stuffs. but i realize, what's wrong with writing anything that interests. TMTH, i think... but whenever i browse all my academic papers, especially those that earned some credits, i do realize that i could be a blog writer... so im coming up with these cool ideas that im planning to put into my domain... and hopefully i could make them truly rewarding...

at this stage, im lovin' my blog site... rock on!!!
