The Season of Giving and Sharing
Extravagant cars, big houses, cabinets of clothes, pairs of shoes, cellphones, DSLR's. We are showered with bountiful blessings. We are receiving more than just enough of what we need with each passing day. We are very luck that we can satisfy our daily needs. Very luck to eat three or more than three times a day. Very lucky to wear different clothes everyday. Very lucky to sleep in comfy bed On the other hand, our fellow citizens in Visayas are still in the state of shock from the wrath of Typhoon Yolanda which hit them recently. The question now is, what have you done to show your affection to your fellow brothers and sisters there?
The season of giving and sharing is fast-approaching. Isn't the timing just exact? I hope this would serve as an excuse for you to be generous on this Christmas day. The true essence of Christmas is not on how many gifts we will be able to receive but on the number of times we are able to put a smile on other people's face and made them happy. It is about how the spark of love in our hearts can stay ignited despite of the cold weather this season is bringing. It is on how we are able to let the typhoon victims feel the presence of God and His hope that will keep them breathing.
In this Christmas season, you are to celebrate it with your family and maybe even relatives. You are to eat delicious food together. You are to receive gifts which cost more than a dollar. You are to be happy in this Christmas season yet have you ever wondered how will our fellow citizens, the typhoon victims are able to celebrate Christmas? Some lost their families. Some lost their homes. Most of them have to food to eat nor water to drink. It is not yet too late to make a move. Let us share what we have for it is better to give than to receive. Let us continue being affectionate to our fellow brothers and sisters.

When Climate Changes..
We are suffering from a phenomena which certainly can cause a huge impact on Earth as well as on the people living in it. This threat is non other than the Climate Change. Global warming is the gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans. This is a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. If this will not be put into an end in the soonest possible time, extinction of life on Earth would become possible.
The causes are many of which the main culprit is the increase in the greenhouse gases that is produced by burning fossil fuel and deforestation, thus intensifying the greenhouse effect leading to global warming. The four main contributors of the greenhouse effect are, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone. Some regions may be wet with rain and some areas will suffer drought due to global warming. The climatic changes happen due to global warming. Seasonal changes are unpredictable unexpected thunderstorms might result as mentioned earlier.
The excessive emissions of chlorofluorocarbons or CFC's is the main reason of the sudden abnormality of the climate so we must prevent using or even producing them. Remember that the effects of Global Warming can blow us all up. So are we not supposed to be standing up now and explore the world before it will be gone? But wait, how about the place where the next generation will be living in? Let us not be selfish. Let us think not only for ourselves but for the good of everybody. Let us stop Climate Change. Plant a tree.
Seeking the Equality of Lifestyle
Our world was created with beauty and perfection by God. he created land to equalize the water part of the Earth. He created human beings to be stewards of His creations. Likewise, He created light to subdue the darkness. We were created by God in His own image and likeness.
In the eyes of the Lord, we are all equal. No rich. no poor. All beautiful. no ugly. Each of us was spared with gifts and talents. Eliminate those social, academic and political classes. We are all people with the same mental capabilities sharing resources equally. Discarding the gaps among people enforces the stability of the bonds we can make together. This stability reduces the chances of bringing up unfavorable things. A world where the rich challenges the poor or the strong challenges the weak is undesired and should be vanished. Isn't it better if we seek the life style where everybody is equal so everybody would also have equal opportunities in making our dreams come true?
Whether you are pretty, gay, lesbian, dark, poop, weak, helpless, short, loveless, we all have equal rights. We have all the right to fight for what we believe that is true. We all have equal chances of proving our worth in this world.
The Power of the English Language
You may be wondering why in every places you go, signs are in English. Why in every instructions, it's always translated in English. Why in every schools or universities they teach their students the English language. Why most international movies and books are written and have copies of it in English. Too many questions asked yet just one simple answer. The English language is our universal language.
Different bodies of water surrounds and separates places in the globe but the English language serves as a bridge between the gaps of these places. Through the English language we are able to cross places around the world. It makes nations build closer relationships despite of the differences in national language, cultures, traditions, beliefs, races, color and many more. Imagine yourself unable to speak. Isn't it hard for you to communicate with others? To express how much you truly feel inside? Same as through when we don't have a universal language. It's like we are deprived from our freedom of speech. Why? It's because when we don't have this English language and learn it people aren't able to understand other people. The world will be in a total chaos. English is also a factor affecting each person's living. English is what makes a man a successful one. English is what makes a country a progressive one. English is what makes people build a stronger grasp of each other's hands.
So whether you want to learn English or not, it is still a must for you to do so. Because through the English language you are able to understand you subjects at school. If you are able to understand then you are able to excel at these subjects. if you are able to excel at these subjects then you are able to choose a course you want and finish college. if you are able to graduate then you are able to get a job which will lead you to a brighter tomorrow. Through the English language, you are able to make your dreams come true.
