Filipinoes are known to have the longest celebration of Christmas, there is no home without a parol nor decorative lights. Voices of carollers across the streets . But this tradition is slowly fading and our love for Christmas is disappearing. What's happening today is that we as a generation given our adiction to gadgets especially social media I come to ask what is happening to us. It's already Christmas season yet we are so distant to it. Modern practices has ripped away our beloved traditions. Our favorite holiday is so near, let's bring back the joy , the Christmas cheer. Let's put down our phones and interact .Let's bring back the Christmas glory.

Let us open our eyes  " A proper woman must be dainty and the image of beauty. ", " A true man should be the epitome of strength and power." These might be some of the common sayings that you are hearing in the walls of our society, these words are a disgrace to the creation of our God. He created men and women equally there was no greater being, it was meant that we live together as one, but society's walls are getting higher and higher, harder to reach, harder to get into. As a child told that we should be what we want to be,but as we grew older our eyes were opened and we realized that there are specific roles that we need to fit into to be accepted in society. If you are a man you should become a police officer a fireman, or a president if you wish, as a woman you should limit yourself to being trained with the responsibilities of a wife or going into a job that requires being you like a model, florist, or a nurse, you are not encouraged to be a member...

They are a breath of fresh air in a day full of stress, little rays of sunshine to brighten up your day, their cute little smiles, their innocent little minds, sparkle of curiosity in their eyes, this is truly what makes children gems of a family. But what is the real reason we are pleased with children? In this world we are so busy being stressed and thinking that we need to be more mature, more adult like but if we think about it, these things only make us sader, they only make us wonder why life has become so hard now that we are growing up. And by this reason we look back to our childhood, the times that we were free to roam around, to experience things without worrying about anyone's comments because back then we didnt really care, back then we only wanted to do what made us happy so that is what we did. And even now the little children in us comes out every once and a while.  And these memories are what i believe to be the reason why we love children, they remind u...

a-pple, ba-na-na, carr-ot, da-ddy, e-le-phant. these are a few of the first words we learn to read. letter by letter, syllable by syllable, the baby steps of reading. now reading is getting harder and harder, because as we progress our thirst for knowledge gets wider. But most of the children nowadays lack the ability of being able to read and this is a problem that needs attention and needs a solution. We were taught how you read mainly because it is the first step in learning, it is the second page in the book of education, next to writing. Because of this  as a young child we were judged based on our ability to read specially in the English language. As we grew up we passed stages of reading books like, learning materials, fairytales and now the most recent obsession of many, Wattpad stories. And this is the best part of reading, it gets more complex as we grow older. That is what makes reading so beneficial to all of us. Reading adjust to our needs and because of this e...

        As a millenial it is expected that technology or gadgets already has a huge role in our lives. We spend almost all of our free time looking or scrolling on our phones or playing online games on the computer. The mindset that we have is that we can already socialize by what we are doing but we are not, and this is the real problem.       Nowadays it is easy to communicate with others because in just a text message they can respond, in just a press of a button we can see each other through video call. But what we don't realize is that this is actually hurting our social life with our friends and especially with our family.        It is evident that some of our parents are not pleased that we are on our gadgets all the time because we forget to spend time with our family. Imagine a scenario in which you need emotional help but everyone is too busy looking down on their gadgets to notice that you are already hurting,won't y...

"We gave our all, we battled with all our might, the battle is done and now we will witness the sun rise. The war is done and we have achieved peace." These are the things running through my mind as we finished the 2nd Periodical test and now we are enjoying the week long semestral break. This 2nd Grading I have learned about tags and how each one affects the way your webpage will come out. Experienced making webpages through various activities and I am proud to say that i have really learned from them. But challenges are inevitable, as a student you must learn to face them or crack under pressure while dealing with them. My personal challenges this grading was coping up with missed lessons and every students problem time management. This grading I participated in many extracurricular activities which has led me to miss out on some if not most of my classes during my practices. With that being the case i had to reach out to my teachers and classmates and ask them w...

Change... This is the only permanent thing in this world, it is inevitable so no one can stop it. It can be good change or bad change the result will be based on your choices. But what if what is at stake among our choices is the unity and peace of our world.? This month we are celebrating the UN celebration with the theme. "Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal respect for human rights and dignity." This theme can be explained in a simple way, that we humans should work hand in hand to reach the places who are not involved who until now is suffering the problem with poverty and equality, and we should build our respect for each and everyone so no one gets hurt. A perfect world what a dream it might be. But our dream can change into reality how?  What we need is change and we need to start it now.
