Why do people dream? Can these dreams affect our being? Do these dreams come to reality? If you happen to have a nightmare, do you want to fall asleep again? If you see Freddy in your dreams... how would you wake up?

After more than 2 1/2 decades, Freddy Krueger struck again in the remake of this timeless horror film entitled "Nightmare on Elm Street"

1984 version

OVERVIEW by Wikipedia:

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1984 American slasher film directed and written by Wes Craven, and the first film of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film features Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Robert Englund, and Johnny Depp in his feature film debut. Set in the fictional Midwestern town of Springwood, Ohio, the plot revolves around several teenagers who, if they fall asleep, will be killed by Fred Krueger in their dreams, thus causing their deaths in reality. The teenagers are unaware of the cause of this strange phenomenon, but their parents hold a dark secret from long ago.

Craven produced A Nightmare on Elm Street on an estimated budget of just $1.8 million, a sum the film earned back during its first week. An instant commercial success, the film's total United States box office gross is $25.5 million. A Nightmare on Elm Street was met with rave critical reviews and went on to make a very significant impact on the horror genre, spawning a franchise consisting of a line of sequels, a television series, a crossover with Friday the 13th, a remake, and various other works of imitation.

The film is credited with carrying on many tropes found in low-budget horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, originating in John Carpenter's 1978 horror film Halloween, including the morality play that revolves around sexual promiscuity in teenagers resulting in their eventual (usually graphic) death, leading to the term "slasher film". Critics and film historians argue that the film's premise is the question of the distinction between dreams and reality, which is manifested in the film through the teenagers' dreams and their realities. Critics today praise the film's ability to transgress "the boundaries between the imaginary and real", toying with audience perceptions.

2010 version

By Wikipedia:

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 2010 American slasher film directed by Samuel Bayer, and written by Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer. The film stars Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker and Kellan Lutz. It is a remake of Wes Craven's 1984 film of the same name and the ninth Nightmare film in total, produced by Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes, it is designed to reboot the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film centers around a group of teenagers being stalked and murdered in their dreams by a man named Freddy Krueger, ultimately discovering they all share a common link from their childhood that is making them targets for Freddy.

A Nightmare on Elm Street was originally going to follow the same design as Platinum Dunes' other remake, Friday the 13th, with the writers taking what they thought were the best elements from each of the films and creating a single storyline with them. Eventually, they decided to use Craven's original storyline, and try to create a scarier film. That being, they decided to remove the one-line quipping Freddy, who had become less scary and more comical over the years, and bring him back to a darker nature; this included developing the character as a true child molester, something that Craven wanted to do originally in 1984 but changed to a child killer instead. The decision was also made to bring Freddy's physical appearance closer to that of an actual burn victim, and the use of computer-generated imagery was used in certain sections of Haley's face to further assist in that vision. A Nightmare on Elm Street was primarily filmed in Illinois because of the positive experience the producers of Platinum Dunes had when filming other films in the same area.

Robert Englund, who portrayed Freddy in the previous eight films, voiced his support of the remake and the casting of Haley in the role of Freddy. A Nightmare on Elm Street was officially released in North America on April 30, 2010, and later released in foreign markets on May 8, 2010. The film was met with primarily negative reviews from film critics, as well as audience members who scored the film a "C-plus". Regardless, A

Nightmare on Elm Street broke the record for midnight openings for a horror film. The film has brought in over $63 million at the domestic box office, and over $115 million worldwide.

OLD FREDDY - Robert Englund

NEW FREDDY - Jackie Earle Haley

My son, KURT who will be turning 13 this year already watched the latest version in DVD last Saturday and I saw it too. I seem to remember that so famous stripe long sleeves shirt of Freddy but I already forgot the story. I am just reminiscent of those good old days in high school.

before and now

This is how we looked together when my AYA was only 3 years old. Her facial expression resembled mine but actually she's prettier than me.

And this is how we are now. She's a lot more beautiful and lovely. She has grown to be a fine young lady though sometimes we have different points of view and disagree to some issues concerning school and other teenage activities.

In this modern fast-paced environment, the things which were considered luxuries before are regarded as needs of today's generation. Children of this digital age are learning and adopting quicker than the elders adjusting to the present society.

The new trends like mobile phones, music players, computer and other gadgets are affecting my concern to understand the young people's mind like my AYA. I keep comparing myself from her especially when I was her age. I'm the eldest daughter and she is my firstborn so, I seem to expect too much from her but I guess it's not right to put my shoes on her. The problem is not "generation gap" but diversity of opinions and behavior. If communication remains consistent and positive then we will both accept our own individuality.

Sometimes, it's better for parents to give children the chance to prove their point than to force them to do anything beyond their means. Authority is still in our hands. We just have to open our minds to a wider horizon... a new perspective. We cannot bring them to the world we used to live in, instead try to live with them in this quite strange lifestyle.

macular degeneration

noreply@blogger.com (marri) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:34:00 +0000

My eyesight has never been that good. I remember during my primary school years, I used to occupy the front seat because I could hardly read the lessons written on the blackboard. At first, I was reluctant to have my eyes checked and I just felt uncomfortable wearing eyeglasses. I never realized that it would lead to a more serious condition.

From then on, I had no other choice but to use corrective glasses and contact lenses. I was hopeful that my vision would get better, but the worst happened and now that I'm on my early 40's, I'm even more afraid to lose my sight.

Based on my earlier diagnosis and eye exams, I have a left lazy eye and my right eye suffers from high myopia and high astigmatism. I have visited several eye specialists and they have the same findings. One ophthalmologist even told me that my eyes easily age and that the cause of this condition maybe congenital in nature. I had that scar in my retina upon birth. There is a possibility of retinal detachment if not properly treated. But for now, I think I have this so called macular degeneration.

WHAT IS MACULAR DEGENERATION?

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in Americans over the age of 60. It is estimated that 10 million Americans will experience this age-related visual impairment during their retirement years.

Macular degeneration is a disorder of the retina, the light-sensitive inner lining of the back of the eye. The macula is a small, central portion of the retina which is necessary for sharp, "straight ahead" vision needed for reading, driving a car or recognizing faces.

There are a number of abnormalities associated with the term "age-related macular degeneration." They range from mild changes with no decrease in vision to abnormalities severe enough to result in the loss of all "straight ahead" vision.

Macular degeneration does not cause total blindness because the remaining and undamaged parts of the retina around the macula continue to provide "side" vision.

There are two main types of macular degeneration, "dry" and "wet," both are discussed in the next section.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

Aging causes the cells in the retina to become less efficient. Ultimately, deposits called drusen appear under the retina and can be seen during an eye examination and on photographs of the retina . A few small drusen may cause no decrease in vision (photo 1). However, if too many large drusen develop, vision will decrease (photo 2). Vision may also be affected when there are disturbances in the layer of cells below the retina called the retinal pigment epithelium. These two types of changes are known as "dry" and "wet" macular degeneration. Dry is the most common form and currently, there are no known treatments for dry AMD.

I am not yet seeing an ophthalmologist now but I have plans for another series of eye exams and extensive consultation.

maintenance

noreply@blogger.com (marri) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:11:00 +0000

Because of these products, I feel flawless again. I am moisturized from head to foot. No more itchiness and good bye dryness. I don't have to take any antihistamine drug to stop or control the severe allergic symptoms.

Thanks to I Derma Skin Clinic located at Suite 908 Medical Arts Tower, The Medical City, Ortigas Ave., Pasig City and to Dra Irma G. Tan-Nunez, my sleepless nights are over. I thought there is no treatment to this chronic condition. I tried to follow the advise of another dermatologist to use any ordinary mild soap and lotion but the relief is temporary and the symptoms just keep coming back. I also tried to drink herbal tea to detoxify hoping that I would feel better. Then I realized that the only answer to my problem is : maintenance.

So I follow the instruction religiously and I do hope the attack will be lessened or totally eradicate the symptoms.

Colloidal Oatmeal Soap - use as daily soap for bathing
Oatmeal Bath Oil - apply 2 times a day before drying with towel
Oatmeal Moisturizing Lotion - apply 2 times a day after bathing
Clobetasol with SSA (salicylic acid) - apply 2-3 times a d day over lesions

So far, my ritual is effective and my fingers are resting for the moment... no more scratching please! I just hope this will continue for a long period or if possible, leave me for good.
