Now that I have resolved this bafflement, I feel listless towards other bafflements. Must find a solution for being unconfused.

Good afternoon, blog. Have you seen your pencils yet? Not yet? We'll keep searching.
For the meantime, let me tell you about my experiment.

You see, I have this bafflement. I've been pondering over this confusion for quite a long time. So just recently, I decided to conduct an experiment that would help me confirm or reject any observations I may have or may have not misconstrued. Pardon the vagueness.

Case #1:
I read a fiction novel that is closely related to my bemusement.
Results & Reaction: I was not completely comfortable with the notions brought to life in the book.
Possible Implication: I am not who I thought I was. (Oh yes, keep the cheese coming)

Case #2:
I read a nonfiction book about it. It was a well-conducted research regarding my subject of bemusement.
Results & Reaction: The possibility is always there, but as of now, it's not.
Possible Implication: Repeat possible implication #1.

Case #3:
I watched films that would, in some way, test the veracity of my hypotheses.
Results & Reaction: I was not completely comfortable (nor amused) with the nature of the notions brought to life in these films.
Possible Implication: It is safe to say that my previous hypotheses are all false.

Case #4:
I stepped out of my laboratory (geeky room) and conducted a social experiment in campus, which happened by chance (unplanned yet it yielded interesting results).
Results & Reaction: Expected reaction should have been - shock, frisson, elation. Real reaction: flat, indifferent, empty.
Possible Implication: We could conclude, for the meantime, that previous self-imposed theories were false. They were merely quick and misguided assumptions. Thus, you are free to walk away from this messy rigmarole. Live with a smile. You are freed from this experiment.

Cheers.
