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.
