FIRST HAND, SECOND-HAND, THIRD HAND, NOTIONS, SCIENCE, THEORIES, SUPERSTITIONS, AND THE LIKE

I am quite aware of how each one of us has been programmed on how we should behave on certain occasions, events and goings-on in our daily lives.  But we have different age groupings, and generations.  And as far as I can reach out,  my mind can only go as far as the 1900s.  Beyond that could be another futile exercise to learn from history which I suppose could or might hinder your own progressive thinking.

Sure, we have read stories about this and that, his' and hers', as well as them and theirs'.  History does baffle. And thinking about the future is almost unnecessary since we got into thinking that it has always been planned all along.  Like there was no way of knowing with certainty what comes next unless someone, some collective, some corporate entity made it its sole purpose to reach an objective or a goal, by hook or by crook.  

The first hand idea these days has fallen into the hands of the corporate world.  I meant that somehow, there is no way of knowing anymore which one made it first.  it's just like asking "the music, or the lyrics?"

COMMUNITY ADAPTATION, FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND THE PRESSING MEDIA

As of this writing, I am currently both in a state of pressure and a little euphoric, for lack of  better term or grammatical usage.  I also am overwhelmed by this online possibilities, and how some things could either be understood and could be misconstrued.  How one could easily forgot how this is practiced and as to why it should be so and continue to be so.

And because of the blessing of technology, we get to know each other thoroughly. How one could easily judge or misjudge someone's behavior by not communicating with each other.  The city in which I reside in is known to be the Land of Promise.

STRUCTURES AND THE BUILDINGS' DESIGN CULTURE

I always or did hear about this notion in the practice of the profession in architecture the trademarks and identity of a certain design.  The notion by which an architect would be known for.  One example is Zaha Hadid's.

Say one sees a new built structure somewhere some place, and as you watch and observe how it's done closely, one can say that thought "hey, where did I see that building before" Or something like saying "hey, that sure do look familiar:  Like hmmmm deja vu.
