'Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true' Perhaps some of you could totally relate to that lyrics from one of Sam Smith’s songs. Lucky are those who couldn’t. I mean… Can we switch lives even just for a day? 😆 Unrequited love is one of the saddest feelings that someone could ever feel. When you like someone, of course you wanted that person to like you back. Unfortunately, life doesn't play that way. Most of the time the person that you like doesn't like you. There are also some instances that you don't like the person who likes you. So, it's even.  When you like someone you would sometimes daydream about them. You would imagine your future with them. Sometimes you fantasize about the two of you dating. Then without you even realizing it, you think of them more often than you should. You want to avoid thinking about them, but your thoughts always navigate back to them. When the thoughts of them start bothering you, or when you start to

What if you had a superpower, what would it be and why? If I had a superpower it would be that with just a click of a finger I could easily mute people. Especially when I don’t like what they’re saying, I disagree with their opinion or if they keep on speaking senseless things. As I grow older, I realized how silence is so important in one’s mental health. I don’t like to hear people scream. I hate to hear people complain. I don’t want to be surrounded with unnecessary noises. Because my brain is already loud and chaotic, so as much as possible I want a peaceful sorrounding. Mainly the reason why I want to have a kind of superpower that could mute people. Nowadays, I can’t stand hearing people gossip. I hate it when people talk about other people like they really know the other person so well. I don’t like that they could easily speak on other person’s behalf and put words on other people’s mouth. It’s as if they really had the opportunity to enter someone’s head and they were able to

Heraclitus once said, "Change is the only constant in life." I don't know whether it's a good or a bad thing, but one thing is for sure, it is the truth. So, how do you deal with sudden change that happen in your life especially if it is a drastic one? Change is an inevitable part of life. At times we don't see it coming. We fear change because of the uncertainties that lie behind it. We fear change because we only want to settle with what is already familiar to us. We are afraid to try and experiment because we are afraid that we won't get to experience the same things twice.  One of the things that I learned in this life is that it is true what they say, "nothing in this world is permanent." If you are not a believer of that, just look at how this covid-19 pandemic has turned the life of many to a complete 360°. Change could be scary at times. Who would want to deal with changes? As much as possible we want everything we have now to be permanent, p

M. Mother. One word six letters with only one meaning, and that is unconditional love. They already love us the moment they feel us in their womb. They love us even though at times we aren't deserving of their love. And they continue to love us even at times we don't give them the love that they're supposed to receive. They love us despite our shortcomings. They love us even though we don't give them the proper credit on why we are born in this world. They don't stop loving us despite the mistakes that we make. Sometimes they love us more than they love themselves. We know that they are going to love us no matter what.  O. Opportunity. That's what every mother gave us. They gave us the opportunity to be born and experience the life that we have. Even though they weren't sure how we're gonna be as a child, they were willing to take a risk and raised us in the best way that they can. And at times, we tend to take it for granted. They gave us the opportuni

On Monday, May 9, we are going to cast our vote for our chosen candidates for the 2022 National Election. We are going decide who are going to be the next President, Vice President, Senators, Governor, Vice Governor, Mayor, Vice Mayor, City Councilors, Members of the House of Representatives (from district and party-list groups) and Members of provincial boards. Some have already decided who they're going to vote while some are still weighing things.  In choosing a good leader, what are your considerations? What are your deciding factors in choosing your candidate/s? For me a good leader is someone who has the credibility to to lead people. He/She should already have experience/s when it comes to leadership. He/She should be trustworthy and should be open to tell the public what we're suppose to know. No need to sugarcoat things. We deserve to know what is happening to the nation. To be a good leader, you must be willing to listen to the concerns of other people. You must be wi
