Make a Better Place For You and For Me…

Poverty still continuously attacks to each and everyone at these present times. As an effect, each one experiences financial crisis. Others can’t fully sustain their needs because they don’t have enough money. Some can’t eat three times a day that results to hunger. Others are unemployed and can’t find a job which is supposedly their source to earn something. Some also do not have enough earnings for their living. There are also some cases of people who experience poverty because they were bankrupted. We see some street children and beggars who ask for some money or food to the people that they see. Many of our unfortunate fellows live in squatter areas or some just live and sleep beside the streets. As I reflect on these things, I really pity these people so much. How come the government can’t afford a better economy in order to lessen this kind of problem that this country is experiencing. I hope someday, as time comes, these people may somehow uplift themselves from these situations and have a better living.

We really know that Poverty is one of the most common problems that our country is facing. I’m so concerned with our fellow brothers and sisters here in the country who are undergoing this kind of problem. Others say that Corruption is one of the most common causes of this kind of crisis. Aside from this, some other causes that may lead to this are unemployment and illiteracy. I know other people strive hard in order to have earnings for their living. But sometimes this is not yet enough to sustain their needs. Others sacrifice and go abroad in order to find an opportunity for a better living for their families. I know that these issues are not yet solved by the government. Some people have their perception that they become poorer as time comes because also of the poor governance that this country is encountering. Sometimes, others refer to the size of the population. The more children in the family are, the more difficult will that family can manage the needs of each members. But others disagree on it and suggest that there will be no poverty problems when in terms to population unless the government knows how to manage a country and make it productive even there’s a high number of population.

As I ask my self, when can all of these problems be solved? When can all of the people here in this world will somehow be relieved and can recover from all of these difficult situations? I’ll always wait for the answers and solutions to arise. But I also think that the solutions to these can start in our hands. I think we must not be too much dependent to other people who can work out for this. I think we must strive hard and move on. We must lend a helping hand and share one’s help to each other. We can also have a charity wherein we can do something for the benefit of others who are in need. Based in the Bible, since before, majority of the people are poor that’s why Jesus chose also to be poor in order to help them and show his great kindness to them. I always believe that God grants us blessings in life and entrusts these to us because He knows that we will not just use it for our own but also for the sake of the people who are in need. I hope all of us can have a time to reflect on these matters. Let’s close our eyes for a while and feel how blessed are we while others are experiencing too much crisis in their lives. You can really feel conscience to this and I hope that we can perform what we must do in order to help those who are in need. Through this, I’m hoping for a brighter future here in this country and in the whole world. Someday, we can make this world free of poverty and be a better place for you, for me, and for all of us.

I hope that we can gain some realizations as we realize a lot of things here in the society.

Let’s lend a helping hand for a brighter future.

May God bless us all!

Security in Need!

In these times of crisis when in terms in order and unity around the country, we do really need always a tight security in our lives. Bomb scares, terror attacks, unexpected riots and wars are usually the threats to the society. Mostly people became doubtful and uneasy that may lead to chaos around the community. Through these situations, I usually ask my self, when can these scary situations subside? What are the things that people must do in order to attain peace and unity around the whole country?

A hectic security in each part of the country is very important. The government must continuously develop this in order to protect the civilians from any harm that terror attacks can bring. Also, we should be careful in the places we go in order to protect ourselves from any unexpected situations. As much as possible, we should always be at ease in any times that we undergo and feel into our self that we are always safe. Mostly, public and private places provide security guard(s) in order to ensure the safety of each and everyone and also to protect the building or other properties. At these times, I think we should avoid unknown places and as much as possible, we should always ask for a companion so that we can always feel secured wherever we go.

All of us aim for a better security in all the places that we go. Even in our home, no matter where you live, we should always ensure our securities in order to feel safe and be at ease. In going to either public or private places, we should be protective always and avoid going home late. But in these times, I hope that all of us should remember of the only thing that can give solution to these threatening problems around the society. We must always remember to unite and establish peace with one another. No matter how different we are from each other, we should always have respect to our fellows. We should always be one in promoting peace in our country and in the whole world. In promoting what we want, we should do it in a peaceful way in order for us to be secured always. And most of all, we should always pray to God and be one in giving solutions to the problems that our world is facing when in terms to security. If one can reflect from these situations that we’re facing and have dialogue with each other, I think someday we can always be at ease and feel secured always in the times of our lives. As these doubts and threats to security will someday subside and peace will be established, there is a big hope in promoting peace for the benefit of our future.

Always remember, “When dialogue begins, war ends.”

That’s all and I wish each and everyone a secured and peaceful life always! May God grant us protection always in all the times of our life! Take care always!

Movie Marathon

Well, well, well, this is now my third blog. I couldn’t ever imagine that I have already written thousands or may be millions of words in order to give spice and meanings to the blogs that I’m creating. But through these efforts, I so flattered that I’m appreciated. So in this introduction, I would like to thank all of the people who read and gave compliments to my blogs, especially to Ma’am Lei and my groupmates. Through these, I will be more inspired in sharing my own insights in the given topic.

Movie is a one of a kind drama. It is not just an ordinary drama similar to the novels we commonly watch in the television, but it’s an extraordinary one. Lots of expenses were gathered in order to have a production that will suit the taste of its viewers. A lot of members in the crew are working hard in order to achieve a fantastic and blockbuster production. As much as possible, award-winning, famous, attracting and appealing actors and actresses were starred in order to catch more its viewers. As the technology progresses, not only real people can be the star in the film. Sometimes, animated popular characters or even animals can also have a leading role. Mostly, it is started with trailers shown in the television or posters in the malls in order to persuade people and convince them that they will have a fruitful viewing as they support the film. These trailers sometimes contain some twists that can make people more interested and curious in order convince them more to watch the film. Also, some movies, especially the ones that became a blockbuster, sometimes come up with a sequel as its crew is inspired from the support that they’ve got from people and fans. As much as they do, they decide to give it another part to continue the success they have undergone. Yes, a movie’s popularity and charisma is very important because it is the key in order to make it a big hit.

But in spite of these, do we realize if we can get something valuable in the movies that we’re watching. Yes, you watch a movie because that’s what interests you, but do you ever think that it can lead you either learning a lot of things or giving you a bad influence? Before movies were shown to the public, it is first rated by the MTRCB according to the themes established in the film. It is always done because some movies have themes that are not suitable for young audiences like X-rated movies. A-rated movies stand out the most because themes of this kind of movie may be educational, spiritual or meaningful for family, children and the youth. I hope that as we watch movies, especially to us minors, we should always have someone who is elder to who will somehow serve as a guide in watching a film. That’s why Parental Guidance is always recommended. I hope also that we can always have our own understandings and find values to the themes of the movies that we’re watching. Even though the theme of the movie is somehow negative, we should always have the sense in distinguishing right from wrong.

According to our Humanity teacher, movie is also a form of art. It also expresses creativity and emotions through acting. It may come into different genres like drama (light or heavy), romance, comedy, horror, horror-comedy, fantasy, tragedy, action and a whole lot more. Choosing and having a theme for a movie is very important because that’s what covers it. Its theme is one way also to let you distinguish the type of movie that you’re interested to watch. No matter how different the movies are, what matters most is its form of expression and the interaction and communication it brings with other people.

Talking about me, I’m not really a moviegoer. I just love talking things about it as I share my deeper understandings into it. I just prefer on watching novels or telesersyes in the television rather than going to the movie house and watch blockbuster films. It also come up into my mind that I don’t usually watch movies because it can be shown in the television someday or I can buy my own copy of a DVD. Some reasons also that makes me afraid to watch a movie in cinemas are bomb scare and this recent Influenza A(H1N1) virus. But if watching a movie is really required or if it will be a fruitful one as I go along with my friends, I can do some. What matters for me most is that whether I watch movies in cinemas or in my house, the most important thing that is always present to me is on how it interests me, how I can relate myself into it, and the values that I can pick up from it.

Wow! I think I wrote a marathon of paragraphs which matches to the title! Hahaha! But what matters most is on how I expressed these and how you would react with it. So come and share your comments in this blog that I’ve made. You are free to express also your self about your insights in my blog. Thank you very much to all of you and may God bless us always! Take care! :-)

Mother Knows Best!

Wow! I was so struck with the story by Ben Carson and Gregg Lewis that I’ve read. That story was given to all of us in the class and was expected for us to read. At first, I was trying to get the gist of the story as I look at the title (by the way, the title of the story is, “A Mother’s Answer”), but it was hard for me to explain directly what it is all about so I started reading it. The title sounds interesting, I thought it was a story about a mother’s greatness, but I was wrong. It does not really talks about it but rather, it has a main point that all of us as sons and daughters will realize more about our dear mothers. It talks about how wonderful our moms are that even though we couldn’t understand her at first but in the end, we will realize that all of her doings is for our sake in reaching the achievements we want to have in life.

In emphasizing the given theme, I want to talk about the wonders of our dear mothers. Every Mother’s Day, I always write a blog in my Multiply site (http://daveericcute.multiply.com) and express to each and everyone how lucky are we for having our own mothers. I also express my gratitude to my dear mother for all her sacrifices, concerns, support, care, and love that she continuously gives to me, as her only child. Our dear mothers are one of the two greatest and most precious gifts that God has given to all of us since the first day that we have our lives here on earth. She has a great role in nurturing us as we grow and mature. She always wants the best for us and always performs things that can lead us to the right path of our journey. She is our guide and a great companion in which we can always consult. Whatever happens, she’s always there to guide and help us in order to sustain our needs. She’s always our number one fan who always supports us in every moment of our lives. She always works hard and tries her best for the benefit of the family. Indeed, we should always have the responsibility to always love her with all our hearts. We must always learn to thank her always for all the things she offers to us. We must always respect and obey her to let her feel that the things that she’s working hard for us are appreciated whole-heartedly. As her child, we should show and let her feel these because through all of these things, she’s one of the two best persons that we should be proud of in our lives. Aside from this, let’s not forget also to give gratitude and pay tribute to our dear Mother Mary for She is our most gracious mother given to us by His son, Jesus Christ and the mother of all.

Through these, I’m so thankful to God that I’m so blessed to have my mother. I will return and show to her the love that she always have for me and cherish this with all my heart. I couldn’t ask for more because she’s always present in my life, giving light and courage whatever I may encounter. She’s my inspiration in life because through her, I know that I can be able to soar up high to reach the success that I’m waiting for in my life with the help of her encouragement, support, guidance and love that she always gives to me.

Let’s give all our dear mothers a warm round of applause!

Thanks for reading and may God bless us all!

I also want to share to all of you the blog that I created specially for our dear mothers last Mother’s Day:

Every Mother Deserves A Happy Day!

A Mother's Day Tribute (May 10, 2009)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the great Moms out there! I really thank God so much for giving us this day, a day to pay tribute for all the care and love that our dear mothers have given to us. It’s now the time to reward her by making her day very special and let her feel our great love for her. As her sons and daughters, let’s be grateful to her and make her proud for all the things she have sustain us. Let’s pay tribute to her by being our mother. No matter how simple or elegant our celebration is, what matters most is by thanking her and letting her feel that she is precious to us. Most of all let her give the love that her heart wants to feel from us. Our mothers are always there as to accompany us as we grow up. She sacrifices for our sake in order to be successful in life. She is one of the two most important gifts that God has given to us. All she wants for us is to guide us as we walk the path of our lives. She always raises us up high to reach and touch the sky. She’s one of our two secrets of success in life. Through this, we must realize of how she really loves her in spite of trials. Think that this day is wrapped in a gift in order to give her a delightful surprise, a surprise that will let her feel that she is very special to us, and a surprise that will continuously love her so much! Thank you very much my dear Mom, I love you so much! May God grant all our great Mothers good health always and more blessings to come into their lives. Aside from this, let’s not forget also to give gratitude and pay tribute to our dear Mother Mary! You’re such a wonderful and mother! Take care always! God bless!
