LOVE. It’s when you feel such deep affection, interest and pleasure in something or to someone. 

 

Love can be felt in many ways.  

 

Love for family, friends and the people that surrounds you. 

 

Love for the things that you want to do and what you’ve been doing. 

 

However, most of the people, usually millennials, thought that love is when you feel attracted to someone. 

 

They want to feel loved by a person.  

 

They never thought about those people who loves them. They just want to have someone they love that also loves them. 

 

This sad truth will always be neglected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Us, humans, tend to misinterpret the problems and rough moments that we’re facing and we might encounter. If ever our problems would come right after the other one, we would immediately think that;

 

“Did I do something wrong that I deserve this punishment?”

 

“Why does it has to be me every time?”

 

We never take these problems positively. We forgot to fight and we always gave up easily.

 

Today, can be the day, to start believing in ourselves, to stand tall and continue living.

 

Living this life, living in here requires a person to be brave and tough because just like an earthquake, we can never tell when a problem would come. Life is not just about being happy all the time. It is like a roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs. We should just be prepared to what might happen.

 

Everything in our world today is possible. Just bear those because the best is yet to come. 

 

Life is too short to waste it by acting like you are the most unluckiest, the most miserable person. I am not saying that it is bad to be miserable, my point is, don’t be miserable for the rest of your life.

 

This is not the end of your story. Learn to fight and be the hope, the inspiration of those people who are suffering.

 

I can say that, we are creating our own negative feelings. We tend to make false conclusions because of our thoughts, the “what ifs”, and “maybes”.

 

Sometimes, these conclusions lead us to be depressed, to be a suicidal person, and etc.

 

This is not the way our life should be. We should be positive, we should trust in ourselves, we should stand tall to continue living.

The said landslide happened last September 20, 2018. Many people lost their love ones because of this disaster.

The huge landslide in Naga City, Cebu, has left at least 56 dead, the police said on Tuesday, September 25, or 5 days after the disaster.

In its latest update on Tuesday, the Naga City Police Station said the figure rose from the 49 deaths reported on Monday, September 24. At least 10 injured persons have been rescued in the ongoing operation.

The police said the September 20 landslide, which was triggered by days of heavy rain, “completely covered” more or less 24 houses in barangays Tinaan and Naalad in Naga City.

The landslide in Naga City came just 5 days after the massive landslide in the mining town of Itogon, Benguet, which was triggered by Typhoon Ompong (Mangkhut). The landslide in Itogon left at least 50 people dead.

Let’s pray for the safety of the survivors and that they will go all through these hardships.

The remake of the famous Meteor Garden has been appreciated by many people. It’s been 15 years since the Philippines got struck by the Meteor Garden fever from which we apparently never recovered and we will probably be still stuck in this fever forever since there will be a new version of this.

 

The Chinese remake of Meteor Garden has been aired recently in ABS-CBN. Many Filipinos are waiting or rushing to go home just to watch the drama, especially the millennial.

 

 

The pilot episode of the new “Meteor Garden” enjoyed a national TV rating of 21.4%, winning against “Wowowin,” which only registered 15.4%, according to data from Kantar Media.

 

Filipinos will once again follow the life of the feisty Shancai, a girl from a family who runs a delivery service of meals cooked by her mother to make ends meet and stands up to the notorious group of rich, brilliant, young men who always get their way in the university she is attending.

 

She will become a target of the F4 and is subjected to every horrible bullying tactic they can employ to make her quit school. However, one of the boys, Huaze Lei takes an interest in her and comes to be her white knight during times she is unable to defend herself. But at the same time, their leader, Daoming Si, falls for the unyielding heroine and starts to appreciate her strong-willed nature.

 

The 2018 iteration of the Taiwanese series is bannered this time around by Chinese stars such as Shen Yue as Dong Shancai, the main character of the series. The boys, meanwhile, are played by Dylan Wang as Daoming Si, the main love interest of Shancai; Darren Cheng as Huaze Lei; Connor Leong as Fang Meizuo; and Ceasar Wu as Ximen Yan.

 

Let’s not miss this opportunity to watch the drama. We might need to wait again for 15 years just to watch another remake of this drama. Let’s support Meteor Garden and be stuck in this fever together.

The start of September also means that Christmas is just around the corner. It can’t be denied that the thought of Christmas, as well as the sights and sounds of the holiday season, can help lift our moods.

For children, especially, Christmas lights and decor as well as carols cheer them up like no toy ever could. Like children too, we all look forward to receiving gifts. I find it a fun and exciting adventure to pick gifts for my family and friends. Even if it’s just September, I already look forward to making lists, imagining the parties I will be attending, and of course, planning the noche buena.

In the spirit of giving, we also offer ourselves the chance to change for the better and make new commitments to work on our goals for the coming year. And while we go shopping for the perfect gift, we cannot help but feel warm inside and get into a good mood as our favorite Christmas songs surround the air with cheer.

Again, whenever September comes, while other cold countries it signifies the start of near autumn and fall, in the Philippines, it is the start of the blowing of the “amihan” (our version of seabreeze) where the climate literally starts to change and the wind starts to blow a bit colder smears especially in the morning. This feeling somehow has become a year-after-year Filipino tradition.

If September comes, that means Jose Mari Chan is also coming to town.

Jose Mari Chan is a Filipino-Chinese singer, songwriter and businessman in the sugar industry. He is known for his bestselling album titled “Christmas in Our Hearts” released in 1990 under Universal Records.

A few weeks after his album debuted in the local market, it attained a “triple platinum” status granted by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry.

In 2006, the same organization awarded it a Double Diamond certification for selling more than 600,000 copies nationwide.

Chan is considered the “Father of Philippine Christmas Music” for his iconic Christmas songs under the album.

Some of its most famous tracks are “Christmas in Our Hearts,” “A Perfect Christmas,” “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Give Me Your Heart for Christmas” and “Mary’s Boy Child,” among others.

 

These are some things that Filipinos do when September comes. People also believes that Philippines’ Christmas celebration is the longest and merriest in the world. It is a time for family, for sharing, for giving, and a time for food, fun, and friendship. Let’s spend our Christmas together.

Every September, we celebrate the Nativity of Mary. In this case of saints, the Church commemorates their date of death, with Saint John the Baptist and Virgin Mary as the few whose birth dates are commemorated. The reason for this is found in the singular mission each had in salvation history, but traditionally also because these alone were holy in their very birth.

The Birth of Blessed Virgin Mary

HISTORY

The earliest document commemorating this feast comes from a hymn written in the sixth century. The feast may have originated somewhere in Syria or Palestine in the beginning of the sixth century, when after the Council of Ephesus, the cult of the Mother of God was greatly intensified, especially in Syria.

The first liturgical commemoration is connected with the sixth century dedication of the Basilica Sanctae Mariae ubi nata est, now called the Church of St. Anne in Jerusalem. The original church built, in the fifth century, was a Marian basilica erected on the spot known as the shepherd’s pool and thought to have been the home of Mary’s parents. In the seventh century, the feast was celebrated by the Byzantines as the feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since the story of Mary’s Nativity is known only from apocryphal sources, the Latin Church was slower in adopting this festival. At Rome the Feast began to be kept toward the end of the 7th century, brought there by Eastern monks.

 

Celebrating Virgin Mary’s nativity is an important day for us, Christians, because if Virgin Mary wasn’t born that day, then Jesus Christ won’t be born also and He won’t be able to save us from our sins. To show how grateful and thankful we are, our Church decided to start this feast. We never regretted doing this because Virgin Mary is one of the most important person in the salvation history. She deserves to be recognized for what she did and her sacrifices. Let’s celebrate altogether the day when the mother of Jesus Christ was born.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLESSED VIRGIN MARY!

I spend my summer this year at the famous Camotes Island.

We visited some places like the following:

Camp Wagi

Tulang Diyot

Timubo Cave

Lake Danao

Even if my stay in there is not that long, I appreciated how beautiful that island is. It may not be the most beautiful island but it can surely make you say “wow”.

I highly recommend this island for family bonding because this place is really wonderful. It won’t be a waste of time visiting this island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a site where we can sign for a petition about your worries for your community or even for the world, the Change.org.

 

 

 

I signed a petition in there about animals being abused because as I have observed, people nowadays are being too abusive to animals which is not a right thing to do. To prevent this kind of doing, let’s protect each other. Sign for this petition to keep our animals away from danger. Let’s treat them as humans. 

 

 

Let’s serve as the voice of those who can’t speak. Let’s stop animal abuse and cruelty. Let’s make our planet a planet where equality reigns.
