🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️
-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
You look at the bizarre, fleeting narratives of your sleeping mind and wonder: Are they meaningless neurological static, divine messages, or mere echoes of the day?
Sigmund Freud cuts through the mystery. He makes a radical claim: dreams are not nonsense, but the "royal road" to understanding the unconscious mind—a coded language of desire, conflict, and repressed childhood memories.
This book is not a simple dream dictionary; it is the foundational manifesto of psychoanalysis. It argues that to ignore your dreams is to ignore the most truthful, unfiltered part of yourself. Here is the core of Freud's revolutionary theory.
We are all actors on a stage, but our conscious mind is merely the performer in the spotlight.
The true director—the unconscious—works frantically backstage, censoring and reshaping unacceptable scripts. A dream begins with unconscious wishes, often rooted in infantile sexuality and aggression, that are too disturbing for the conscious mind to entertain.
The "dream-work" is the unconscious director's ingenious process of disguise. It uses symbolism, condensation (merging multiple ideas into one image), displacement (shifting emotional focus to trivial details), and secondary revision (polishing the dream into a coherent story upon waking) to veil the true meaning.
Thus, the apparent nonsense of the dream—the "manifest content"—is a carefully censored facade. The interpreter's task is to peel back these layers through free association, guiding the dreamer to uncover the hidden "latent content," the true, unsettling wish the dream fulfills.
For Freud, even the most terrifying nightmare is a fulfillment of a wish, often a wish for punishment. He famously analyzed his own "Irma's injection" dream to demonstrate this, revealing it as a complex tapestry of professional anxiety, guilt, and a desire to be exonerated.
Freud placed childhood experience and the family drama at the center of this psychic theater. He introduced the world to the Oedipus complex, proposing that the core, repressed wish for a young child is the unconscious desire for the opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same-sex parent.
This unresolved conflict, he argued, becomes the primary source material for the symbolic language of our adult dreams. In his view, seemingly innocent dream images—a house representing the body, a king and queen representing parents, elongated objects as phallic symbols—are all part of this universal, psychosexual cipher.
In essence, The Interpretation of Dreams did more than explain nightly visions; it declared that we are not the masters of our own minds. It proposed that our most rational selves are perpetually negotiated with a hidden, irrational underworld of primal drives.
The book's seismic power is in its foundational assertion: to understand yourself, you must learn to interpret the cryptic, urgent messages you send yourself in the dark.

The source audio (Flac ) is very important factor for a higher sound quality ,
before uploading ...Flac is compressed without any loss in quality or loss of any original audio data.
Even compressed by youtube , the quality will remain much higher than say an mp3 file.

Text No.102 OSU – The Discipline That Remains
There comes a point on the Kyokushin path where words lose their meaning.
Explanations fall short.
Motivation disappears.
What remains is Osu.
Osu is not a greeting.
It is not tradition for tradition’s sake.
It is a pedagogical tool for personal development, forged through discipline and repetition and show Respect.
In Japanese, Osu is written with two kanji:
押忍 (Osu)
• 押 (Oshi) – to push, to press forward
• 忍 (Shinobu) – to endure, to persevere, to tolerate pain
Together, they mean:
To push through endurance.
To continue despite pain, pressure, and discomfort.
This is the essence of Osu no Seishin.
Osu teaches us to give our best when conditions are not ideal.
When the body hurts.
When the mind resists.
When quitting would be easier.
In Kyokushin, we do not stop because something is uncomfortable.
We stop only when the task is completed.
Osu is not aggression.
It is self-control under pressure.
When we say Osu, we accept responsibility without complaint.
We acknowledge difficulty without negotiation.
We commit to effort without needing encouragement and show respect.

Antro Solo.
The Antro Solo is a three seat gas-electric hybrid prototype made entirely out of carbon fiber.
This material choice allowed the graphic designers to lower the weight of the vehicle to a measly 270kg. This also allowed them to achieve phenomenal fuel efficiency and a pretty decent top speed of 87mph.
All of this is impressive enough, but the Solo’s designers were not content to stop there.
In order to maximize the efficiency of the vehicle, the designers installed solar panels on the roof. These solar panels store energy in the car’s batteries which can be used for short 15-25km trips.
If there hasn’t been enough sun to power the batteries, each passenger’s seat comes equipped with pedals that can power the vehicles generator.
If you are by yourself, or everyone gets tired, the car can switch to its small combustion engine that is capable of running on petrol or ethanol.
The prototype was shown at the Budapest Museum of Transport. It was set to go into production in 2012, and was expected to cost around $20,000 dollars.

On this day in 1977, the Sex Pistols single “Pretty Vacant” re-entered the Australian charts at #74 (December 19)
The punk anthem peaked at #52 in Australia, and went all the way to #6 in the UK.
Rotten was at his belligerent best, snarling the disaffected lyrics over Paul Cook’s urgent, driving beat, and Steve Jones’ simple, raw riff, (which Glenn Matlock said he was inspired to write by the ABBA song “SOS”!)
“Pretty Vacant” was third of the Sex Pistols first three singles which went on to become punk anthems, after “Anarchy in the UK” and “God Save The Queen”….
