A ripple in my reflection

With my brows tied in a knot, quill at hand, my mind flying through out the window, I have come to realize that life has something more to it. With the new discoveries in myself that I have unfolded, I have yet to face another challenge in my life.

An Iris-Message

At the break of dawn, a swift breeze swept across my face, enveloping me in a tight embrace. And as the sun rose from its sleep, a rainbow magnificently thrive the world, showering everything in its beautiful shower of pixie dust. It illuminated beauty, power, confidence. It nearly overwhelmed me when a brisk light blinded me. It was swift, fast like the running wind.

Sparks City

The world has come to face the vast dominance of technology in its domain. And yet, the new change has drowned the stars to full content into dark oblivion, eradicating their eminent existence.
Sparks City has yet to replace the world with it's flashy glamour. . .

True Calling

And so the world was full of trickery. Cruel as it is unjust, who could have predicted the chaos, and likely to be of trojan war, the world could turn out to be?
Where the brisk sun cuts through the horizon, where the sky meets the earth, I've come to witness the majestic birth of a hero yet to be discovered of his firm belief that education is the first step in achieving your long visioned dreams.
In my sufficient existence over the years, one soul stood against the growing dilemma of not attending your classes.

Its a bird! Its a plane! No its SUPER-BESTFRIEND!

Who would you call if problems get in your way and gets up to your height and that they almost drown you? Do you call for Superman or for Batman?

Well as for me, superheroes such as them doesn't exist in my world of fantasies. I have my friends to be the knight and shining armor that you meet in the stories you read or the superhumans that you look up to in the movies and in the comic magazines. I'm with them everyday. So with that, I feel very safe not to mind that I'm crowded with friends. But to be more specific with this superhero thing, I have one hero best friend in mind.

And with every single breath that I take everyday, she's there to make it the best. She's there to catch my every fall, every tear that is shed form the corner of my eyes, every hair that falls from the top of my head. She's the support that I need to continue on with my fragile life. She gives a patient ear to everything that I have to say. Even if it bores her to death. But hey, she's my superhuman and she can withstand anything including my boring and nonsense emotional break downs. She bears the heart of a lion, and she bears a pure heart of gold. She's always there to help me around, always there to kiss my wounds.

She's amazing. She's the tone that makes my laugh, the lines that draws my smile. Without her, I wouldn't be this happy with my life. Jennica Prudencio is simply my hero, because everyday, she makes me happy and she makes me feel good that no one ever made me feel. And that is all that I need to keep on going.

She's no bird, no plane, and she's definitely not Superman. She's Jennica Prudencio, my super-bestfriend.

Words Not Dared Spoken

Streets have grown to be silent of the country's innate language. What ever happened to using our "Wikang Filipino"? Are we not ,Filipino men, required to speak our dialect? Confused as already am, what's the use of our "Wikang Filipino"?
Language is a form of communication wherein two people can comprehend clearly, without obscurity, what each other is trying to imply. The world maybe facing now the change of growth in technology but does that mean that our language has to go with the flow too?
"Wikang Filipino" is what makes us Filipinos, Filipinos. It is what makes us who we are and defines us what we are. We, Filipinos, are known for our language throughout the globe. But with the rapid growth of change, is it necessary for us to neglect the fact that Filipino is our language? I mean does it require also for it to change?
Yes, we may have any form of communication we want, but what about out "Wikang Filipino"? Are we not to use it still?
I'm a concerned Filipino saying that change is very much evident. This "Buwan ng Wika", let's fight for what we believe in. And through the fire we must.
Wikang Filipino wants to be free.

Footprints on the Sand

I've always saw the world in its ideal state. Life may has its flaws but it never ceases to let you taste the better side of it. Mistakes happen to those who are human. Consequences takes their toll where you need to realize that life is life. No ore. No less.

As far as I have come to this great expedition of my life, I was afraid of making mistakes. But along the way, I have grown to see that there is more to life than just the circumstances at hand.

Reminiscing back, I've gathered up a lot of things along the way. I was formaly introduced to blog and get myself immediately engrossed on the new hobby. And now I am a certified Blogger Addict.

One of the many things I've learned is to honestly correct myself of my grammar on the posts I publish online. In line with this statement, the blog served s an outlet for my thoughts that way back before, I never tend to share to the public.

Moreover, focusing on our subject ICT which is held liable for the oppurtunity we had to make our blog, browsing back, for the past few days we've learned about the term blog which is excerpted from the words web and log or on deeper understanding, blog is a portmanteau that means a combination of two words.

Problems are inevitable. They come and go but they never stay for that long until you learn the lesson you need in your life. One problem I can cite is that of composing the content of my blog. With this notation circulating in my mind, I'd start to gather data for my blog together with very able aid of my faithful companion; the dictionary.

Truly inevitable as they all are, problems are there to let you see for what life is really all about.

Moving on, I will continue on leaving footprints on the sand. And maybe someday, I'd reminisce back to these days and laugh at how childish I've been.

Par for the Course

Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III, President of the Republic of the Philippines, delivered his third State of the Nation Address last July 23, 2012 at the Session hall of the House of representatives, Batasan Pambansa Complex, Quezon City.

             Attendees were more preoccupied in showing off their luxurious fabrics on the red carpet, putting on a fashion show, rather than to be there for the President’s speech. Almost all males in attendance in Batasan Pambansa wore their best weaved barong. Party list representative Teddy Casiño had the words “Presyo Ibaba” printed on his barong and claimed the red carpet to be his while on the other hand, former President Fidel V. Ramos wore toned gray clothing with a wide grin printed on his face.

             The President’s speech was delivered in Filipino in its entirety which lasted for one hour and twenty-seven minutes. And according to ANC’s Tony Velasquez, it was the longest SONA in the fifteen years he has been covering the event. In delivering his speech, Aquino was interrupted applause 120 times with the longest one lasting for thirty seconds for his endorsement of Responsible Parenthood wherein he touched the subject about the Reproductive Heath bill which some sectors find still controversial and a delicate issue to ponder on.

In his SONA, PNoy also said that whenever he comes face to face with someone and give him a profound gratitude for his undying help for the less fortunate, he just responds; You made this happen. So in his State of the Nation Address, PNoy showed his humble side wherein he didn’t take full credit for the progress that we now taste.

We can’t fully state that we are in productivity but progress is under way. Like PNoy quoted in his address; “From what we are experiencing today, it is clear: you succeeded. You are the well the wellspring of change. You said: it is possible.” Change is possible for anyone who believes in it and takes hold of it as a firm foundation for Nation Building.

At the end of the day, my expectances of the President’s capabilities have grown to a wider perimeter. With his third State of the Nation Address in play in thought, stakes have taken height and the Filipino men would want every word of his SONA to be reckoned with in reality.

And with that pondering on our minds, there’d come a day that there will be no more kid without food on his plate.

Got food on your plate?

"Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw itong Ihain."

Don’t you just love to eat? Children have grown to the habit of being engrossed in the world of indulged sweets that they seem to forget that what they’re taking in is not always that nutritious. We can’t escape the fact that we used to be kids running around with no hint of thought to what is going around our little environment. Now that we do, reminiscing back to the old days, don’t you think that it’s only fair to let our children be what they are? To let them eat their luxury and to indulge themselves in their world of chocolates and candies?

             Amongst the odds today, the mere are getting sickly by the minute wherein their bodies are lacking of ample energy to do their daily tasks. Now, in celebration to this year’s Nutrition-Month, on the month of July, individuals of every age are accounted for being involved in the activities held in the very four walls of their school.  Simply these activities will serve as a wakeup call for those students sleeping in class with degrading nutritional status. Digging deeper with this notion, as of today, seven out of ten young Filipino citizens at the ages of four to seven have been proven to be overweight and are in dire need of excessive exercise for a healthier and wealthier lifestyle.

          One thing I can say to mommies out there, if your son or daughter is indulged in the guilty pleasure of chocolates ad candies, make vegetables a whole lot of fun. Make them snacks that says; “I’m yummy and I’m also healthy!” so come one, come all! It is never too late to turn away from your cravings. I’m not saying that you totally give up on your chocolates, but I’m here stating that with these indulged sweets whole way through, life is too short to live it shortly. Sweets may be that good, but life is better if you live it the way it should be.

           Expand your options. Make life a better living.

Chasing Pavements

Dear President Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III,

                  Greetings to you sir! The republic has yet spoken, and so they have. Some time ago, we have come to the conclusion of putting you up as the brain of the embodiment of our country. 

Many Presidents have been elected time after time, and still i haven't seen any change. Frankly, what I mean is that, our country still endures the dirty clutches of poverty. And what I would like to see under your administration, sir is change and immediate actions unto these circumstances.

                   I don't mean to prod on such a delicate and complex issue, sir, but here's what I'm saying sir; in order for the growth of our economic status, our country's economic status, I would prefer you sir to clean the government itself free from the filthy hands of insignificant Lords that graft and corrupt on such unnoticed circumstances on the wealth of our country, so to speak, to lessen the what we call our fall, our flaw; which is poverty.

                  I've seen many Presidents before you try but they seem to be incapable of such change. So now, we're already on the year 2012 which means new hope and which also means you sir, our firm foundation of hope for the change we cling to. 

                 Change is not that possible if not for you, sir. The country have chosen you to lead them. And in the midst of all of this upheavals, we'll rise up to the affair and there will be no more kid in any or every vicinity, without  food on his plate.

                                                                                                            With all respect;

                                                                                                            Patrick Jan Raquel Reyes
