Resiliency is not always a good thing

Filipinos are known for being resilient. After calamities hit the Philippines, they still manage to smile. It is very rare to see someone smiling in the middle of the flood to wave to the camera, how hard life is but still smile. I saw how fast they recover on situations like those.

It's been a good thing for the resiliency of Filipinos but I am afraid that they will just pass what happened and stay at it is. According to Shakira Sison, "The problem with our resilience is the speed by which we transform trauma into acceptance. Instead of solving problems, we simply cope or wait for the problem to pass." We are showing that we can't do anything about it. Is it really true? Why not making a goal to overcome it? Be strong enough to gamble in order to make things to the right path. You may fail, you can change strategies but never your goal. Be positive in a way that we think we can do it. Have determination. Problems may pass but if you do nothing, it will always repeat the past - makes it a cycle.

As what I have learned on our ESP subject, to act like a person, after you saw what is the mistake, it is our obligation to fix it. Smiling maybe the solution for hard times, but working is the best. Make things work and don't give up. Just don't accept but also fight and be strong.

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivered his 3rd State of the Nation Address in around three thousand law makers and guests at the Batasang Pambansa, Monday, July 23, 2018.

Breaking the traditional way of highlighting the previous year accomplishments, the iron-fist leader, Mr. President, focused on his genuine desire for change. Recapitulating from the first and second SONA of the President, his Drug War Campaign was the first on his list. He made a special emphasis reiterating that he would always want to stop the dangerous effects of it which can possibly destroy human lives which later gave critics and bashers negative feedback for literally disregarded human rights. According to the President, "The love of money is corrosive." that is why his campaign aga

First Quarter ICT Experience

From the short meetings we had in our Grade 10 ICT, I've learned a lot. From the history of internet, blogs to the techniques in searching.We also made our own blog and articles. Also, the difference between search engines and web browsers and techniques in searching that I didn't even thought it would work. I also encounter many website that I didn't even give importance to but now it is a big help. Before, I want to have a lesson which doesn't need to memorize but to understand it by applying on your own. And now, I'm a Grade 10 student, I thought it was that easy. Hard in the sense that I am not used to make articles because I am bad at grammars and my vocabularies are not that widen that I would ask others to translate the words for me.There are many requirements given and I have lack of time to do it since I am not that aware about the issues and understand well the themes.

Being on trend doesn't make you cool but being healthy does

Nowadays, people are fond of buying on fast food chains, on-trends and on what they saw on social medias just to fit or to be in to this society we have. Do these things make us cool? They say that our population are getting higher but the crops that are harvested are still the same. People always think that farming are only for poor. We get our food from them.
