My thoughts to S4

Ok, so, a few days ago I was brushing my teeth one evening and this thought came into my head. I hope my explanations make any sense: So, I read about some people thinking about the Mind Palace and that you can not control your dreams or things like that with it. That is mostly correct. The Mind Palace is a memory technique. You can remember things but not influence things with it. However, many people, like my father, can control dreams. This has nothing to do with the Mind Palcae but with other techniques I will not explain here because that would take to long. What I want to say is, that Sherlock could control TAB with ease. I have done such things myself (without taking drugs first;)). So, all in all S probably controled TAB with ease. However, I thing when we look at s4 as a continuing of TAB, we notice, that S thinks, that this is reality and not a dream, so he is not in control at this moment but his subconsciousness, I call it, “the brain“. So, when we see S4 as continuing of TAB, the Fall is the part were it goes over or back (whatever theory you like most) to the reality his brain created (because he is still in a coma from drugs or from the shoot, whatever you like). Now, I read a few days ago, that there was an ARG in the Sherlock Holmes Fandom, that said, that every character knew he or she was just a character in a novel except of SH himself. Nobody could tell him that this all is not real & it all ended only when SH found out, that this was all not real. Until then it all repeated and repeated or so I understood it. Now I think, that S4 is this ARG created from Sherlocks brain. So every character would know that he or she was created from Sˋs brain excluded S himself and only when he realises that he is captured in his own dream world, that he starts to wake up. Until then it all repeats and repeats, or better said, his brain plays the storys he already lived through with only little changes matching things he still does not understand. So, now I want to take a look at Eurus, or like I like to call her E = emotions. I already wrote something to her and her meaning, and i wonˋt go into her too much now. Just a little bit, so you can follow my next few thoughts.I think she represents Sˋs emotions, which he has hidden deep in his brain, behind a glas prison in a highly hidden place. As we know, the glas is know away and she moves free in Sˋs dream. Flirts with John & shoots him, is panicked in a plane, has suicidal thoughts and does everything to get an emotion out of people but mostly S. However, more to her in a few more lines, but first… … imagine S. Just shoot or deep in drugs and he is know in a hospital, in a coma. So, in his brain is everything in red. Panic! We are dying! That is all the brain can think. To calm down and get his job done (healing in any way possible) and not get too much choas and get in shock, the brain starts to create a little dream world of itˋs own.In it he can calm down, get a few answers and all is ok. He starts to recreate the adventures with John, like explained. TST beginns, and all is ok. First, the brain has to follow the previous story, aka TAB and get it a good enough continuing story to be realistic, then he kills of his problems (Mary), who is in his way to get John. Oh, very emotional reaction, donˋt you think? And that is the part were Eurus starts to come. First, the place Mary dies is in an aquarium, a place full of water, and I read somewhere, that Water means emotions. And emotions means Eurus. So here is already Eurus. Not really noticable, but when you know that Eurus is emotions, this means, here is the point E starts to come out of her long time prison. Also, there are sharks. We know sharks represents CAM. CAM = evil (Mirror to M.) And for S, Emotions are evil. They influence his thinking and are not helpfull, so… it would match that his brain would kill Mary in an aquarium full of sharks. However, sharks could also represent Mary in this moment, which the brain conects with Evil. (And I think sharks were easier for Mofftis to get to than spiders in an aquarium ;)) Then there is E who meets J in a bus and later texts with him. She is the flirter part of S. She does what he does not dare. And J responses, a hope S has. He hopes that J will react positive to his flirting and hates life with Mary. Then we have TLD with dear Faith. this episode is the brains solution to Johnˋs reaction. After killing Mary of, the brain came to the conclusion, that John would probably not be too happy about it. So a solution has to be created. What helped in the past? Get S into danger! And this is what happens. I also think that the change of Culvertonˋs killing technique (from poisoning to suffocation) is a sudden move, so I think, S had an attack in real life and the brain symbolised it to this. Also we have dear Faith here. The Frist time we meet Eurus, and she is suicidal. Of course, I mean, who wouldnˋt be, when you are very emotional and your love of your life does not want you! However, S stops her (very rational) and they go out together. During that time we see that those two understand each other very good. They could work together (the brain and the heart). She only vanishes as S tells here that suicide is not the sollution and he has an attack. This attack can be seen as an emotional overflow and so he breaks down, or he has an attack in real life and has to be very drugged after that, so his brain creates something it knows. The tipical world of too much drugs. Also, did you notice that nobody but S sees Faith, even through she stands right next to him. She is not hidden but nobody sees her. Emotions of S are not visible. Now we come to TFP! Yay! So, TFP is all about Eurus aka emotions. You could say that she thinks that after everything is ok with J, Eurus has enough of playing the little parts and wants to have all the attention now. Or how I also like to see it, S canˋt handle his emotions anymore, now that the glas is away. It all starts with Eurus the Therapist shooting John. This is the first sign of Sˋs emotions going crazy. Like a dream does the scenery of TFP start in Mycrofts home and we get an easy explanation for the shoot. There are many possibilities why the brain makes it that simple. Maybe it did not want to get too emotional (get Eurus back into her prison) or it was his best idea. After that we have many such jumps. Maybe to test S if he would notice or to show him (and us) that something is wrong. Eurus is, during her game, all about testing everyone and mostly S of his emotional state and so maybe is the brain about logic. A little though I came up with at this point, was that maybe the little girl on the plane is maybe Sˋs brain who does not know how to handle everything that happens. S is dying and the brain, his emotions, he himself does not know how to handle everything and he canˋt contact his surrounding world, the real world. But that was just me, thinking a little bit too much. One thing I came also up to was that Mycroft told S about the East Wind in such a bad way that as a child S was of course scared of it. Also we know that Mycroft is the one to tell S all the time to control his emotions („itˋs not an advantage“). Maybe Mycroft told S these stories and later made fun of S because of his emotional behaviour. That would explain, why S calls his emotions Eurus and why he hit them in the first place, and why he has to revisite his childhood home to find Eurus and accept her (hug her). After that he can handle J and Rosie better and Lestradeˋs „good man“ comment is the brains way of saying that that (combination of emotions and Sˋs logic) is the best way. Now he can be a good man. From this point onwards we can witness how S learns to handle his emotions (plays with her in harmony). Also, S is called grown up, compared to Mycroft, after he accepts his emotions. It is a siblings way to show of when you do something better and your parents tell you that infront of your sibling. So if Mycroft really is the reason that S hids his emotions, then being called grown up infront of Mycroft after he accepts his emotions is „show of“ from the brains part. (Right now I see S doing a little victory dance) However, the brain is not all mean to M. We can see that in the scene, were S and E play violin together and his parents and M are there. Sˋs mother touches Mˋs knee. A sign for many things but also for encouragement. Maybe encouragement to start to learn and accept his own emotions? Also, during TFP we see M very vulnerable. He shows many emotions. I think it is the brains way of mocking M but also of learning himself. If the person who taught you not to feel, shows emotions,then you can accept your own emotions better. S can accept his own problems, emotions and errors better, if M has them too and shows them too. Now, I told you at the beginning, that I think this whole season is an adaptation of the ARG. So, what happens, if you told the whole story? You have to start again. And here I take a short look at the twitter accounts. For the twitter accounts TFP never happened, so maybe TST and TLD never happenend, too. I donˋt know and I have to say, that one big counter point for this is, that Rosie lives with John and S and Mary is dead. However, maybe the brain just started from the end of TLD anew? I have to say, Iˋm not sure myself, that the accounts are real or not, so I canˋt go there very deep. However, if they are real, I think, they mean, that S is still in a coma, because Rosie is mostly forgotten. I mean, which parent gives his child away for 24/7? They have holidays or go on cases and never once do they take her with them. She is always with someone else. And I also think that is a sign for being in Sˋs dream and not so much in Jˋs, because a father would include his child in things or mention here more and someone who never was a father and is not so much interested in children like S would totally forget a child. So, this is what I have to say to twitter, for now (oooh, threat). And now, for the end, I want to tell you all, what I think will happen in TLS! YAY! So, I think that at the beginning we get something disturbing like in S4. And after time it gets worse, so that at some point S notices that something is wrong. Maybe he also starts to hear voices from the real world, which doesnˋt make sense for him. Then he will maybe talk to J about it all, and because S has noticed it, J as the brain tells him the truth and together they find a way so he can wake up, like jumping again or so. And after he wakes, the real J is there for him. And they hunt down Mary. For those who think the whole sh.t started as Mary has shot him, can imagine, that S tells J the truth. Or S has to stop Mary from killing J and after that, at the end, we get a kiss, or hug or whatever you guys prefer! Now I am at the end of my thoughts and I hope you could follow me and understand this whole mountain of sh.t. Probably everyone has now noticed that English is not my native language, so donˋt hit me for it. If someone wrote that already, please tell me. I really would love to read more. Now, I will tack a few people who may be interested to read this, but of course everyone is allowed to tell me what they think! @impossibleleaf @inevitably-johnlocked

[justhinerossbuebo-blog]

Just like every typical girl, I wanted to have a debut party like how everyone else does. Those 18 roses, 18 gifts, 18 treasures, and many other 18 things that you can include. But then, we have to face the reality. It’s too expensive. So, what’s the alternative? Of course, another travel. 2017 is a hiking year. Now, I want to start my travel on a beach.

UNDERSTANDING MASASA

Unlike any other beach, Masasa is not that popular among people. But when some famous travelers and travel bloggers started to feature it, the people suddenly grew. I can’t blame them because Masasa is a very beautiful beach.

HOW TO GET THERE

1. MANILA TO ANILAO PORT

You have two options.

a. ) Van – Since we’re a group of 12, we consider renting a van. If you have a bigger group, I suggest that you rent a van. Just maximize the space so you can lower down the cost. If you choose this, you’ll be dropping off at the Anilao Port. If you’re staying overnight, there is an overnight parking fee that costs Php 200 to Php 300.

b.) Bus – from Cubao, take a bus going to Batangas or Calabarzon and drop off at Batangas Grand Terminal. After that, you’ll be taking a jeep going to Anilao Port.

Tip: Buy food at the Bauan Market so you can have a lot of choices to choose from. Cook it in the transient house that you’re staying. The prices are just the same in Manila. 

2. BOAT TRANSFER  – At the Anilao Port, you’ll be paying Php 30 for the environmental fee. It takes 2 hours just for us to board in the boat since there are like 6 boats and per boat has a maximum capacity of 80 persons. The most frustrating part is the fact that the sun was so bright. Hindi ka pa man naliligo, sunog ka na. It takes 45 mins to 1 hour to get to Tingloy Port.

Tips: There’s a boat that will take you directly to Masasa but the travel time is longer. Also, there’s a private boat if you want to get there immediately. The downside, it costs Php 3500 for just 15 persons only

3. TRICYCLE TO TRANSIENT HOUSE – Take a tricycle and drop off at your transient house.

WHERE TO STAY

You also have two options here.

Main Beach – You’ll be staying at one of the kubos there but the electricity would be from 12 noon to 12 midnight only.

Or

You’ll stay in a little bit far transient BUT, everything is included.

We stayed at Samboy and Emz Transient House. Below are the things included in the transient.

P300/head 2D1N for a group of 4pax pataas

% LEGIT

DAY 1

Our meet up is at Shaw Mall. We were supposed to depart at 5 am but since it’s Filipino time, we depart at around 6 am.

We get to our transient house at around 2 pm. Every one of us is starving because we didn’t eat breakfast. My parents immediately prepare our lunch while the rest of the group were resting, some are even sleeping, because of too much exhaustion caused by travel time.

We had our lunch at 4 pm where we had a boodle fight. After the picture taking and all, everyone is quiet. Galit galit muna. Lamon kung lamon.

Kuya eric (the caretaker of the house) told us that we have a choice if we wanted to go to the beach or not, because at 6 pm every one should be in the transient. And since, we’re excited GRADUATING students, we still go. And guess what, we had the chance to witness the breathtaking sunset.

By 6 pm, we’re already in our transient. My parents, my aunt, and my uncles are already drinking while singing in videoke. I wanted to join but my friends want otherwise. Instead, we went to the beach and watch the stars.This is also the time, that we had our chit-chat momets.

Day 2

We woke up by 5:30 am because we will be doing the highlight of this tour. ISLAND HOPPING AND SNORKELING. The boatman brought us to Sepoc Island.

Sepoc Island is perfect for soul-searching. It’s quiet, calm, and the view is magnificent.

After that, our boatmen took us in the middle of the sea where we can do our snorkeling. At first, I feel nervous because we’re in the middle of the sea and I’m having a hard time using the snorkel. But then, the moment that you found out how to use it, and when you see the corals and fishes underneath your feet, you just want to stay there. Even my mom, who has a fear in the sea, enjoyed the snorkeling activity. We’re also supposed to go to another island but the wave is big so the boatmen didn’t allow us. Also, we don’t have much time.

After snorkeling, we had our chance to dip in the Masasa Beach. My friends tried to bury me. There were like “kung may galit kayo, pagkakataon niyo na ito”

Masasa beach is so amazing. Everyone of us enjoyed our stay. But then we have to say Goodbye.

REMINDERS:

LEAVE NO TRACE – Masasa Beach is a gem. It is our sole responsibility to take care of it. There are garbages thrown in different areas. Another reason why I chose a far transient is that I wanna make sure that we’re not harming the beach.

Buy aqua shoes – There are some parts of the beach that is rocky. Especially in Sepoc Island. Buy aqua shoes to lessen the injury.

Bring action cam – so you can have a video of snorkeling event.

Bring waterproof case and dry bag – for your gadgets

Buy souvenirs at Anilao Port – there’s 20 to 40 pesos difference if you buy in Anilao port rather than Masasa. Also, there are a lot of choices. There are also food delicacies like sapsap and pastillas available.

Eat Batangas Goto – it’s delicious and it’s different from the one that we’re serving in Manila. Buy water – their water is different from the one in Manila. But rest assured it’s safe. This is just applicable if you have a sensitive tummy.

Do not let fear consume you -a lot of my peers are afraid to come with us because of the thing like “graduating students kami”. They just missed the fun and enjoyment. The same thing with snorkeling. I admit I was hesitant at first but I went there to try new experience and to conquer my fear (if I had one).

LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTPRINTS. TAKE NOTHING BUT MEMORIES.
