A Phenomenal Woman, with a Genuine Beauty

            “Actually God made us to share and have differences. The difference is that men think that the faster way to go to a point is to go straight, and women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go through the curves and fixing every curl.” This statement was the winning answer of Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza during the 2008 Miss Universe competition. She was asked the question “Do you believe men or women have it easier in life” and answered it with grace and confidence. This month we celebrate the national women’s month. This month we talk about empowered women and how they empower and inspire others.



Over the decade, we saw phenomenal women graced in their own field of interest. Many women made history in sports, politics, academics, and many more. Some of the notable women’s are Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, Angela Merkel of Germany, Kamala Harris of the United States of America, and our very own Pia Wurtzbach, Catriona Gray, and Hidilyn Diaz. They all exceled in their own field and once again proving that they are worthy in the eyes of the society. A woman as empowered has characteristic that shows that they are worthy to inspire and make a change in our community. They also have a feature that tells every one of us that they are woman who inspires fellow woman to be brave and daring in life. Over the years, we have seen countless discrimination and harassment towards women, and this month we want them to know that woman can lead; woman can inspire others, woman can touch others’ lives and most importantly women has made an impact to our society. Women over the years have improved and made their selves worthy in their respective fields, worthy in the eyes of the people, and most importantly, worthy of freedom. We try to end gender discrimination and sexual harassment in our world; we have been battling misogyny and sexism, and now it is time that we must respect each other for the betterment of our world and community.



We have reach an era, where we should respect everyone in our community. Respecting one another is a trait that we all should have. Ending gender based discrimination and sexual harassment, empowering women, and inspiring them to be empowered are the priorities during this women’s month celebration. Women have fought long and hard to achieve what is important for them, and what is right for them. So in this month we vowed to become better citizen and must respect each other as a worthy citizen of our country.

January 1, 2020, we were very happy to open a new year, many kids are jumping, and rejoicing everywhere and a lot of us are very excited for new chapter in our lives.

  We start our year with a bang. Fireworks are blasting in our skies, people are cheering “Happy New Year” some are jumping, and some are praying to give us a beautiful year. As January 1 passes by we can see a lot of post in social media with the captions “New Year, New Me”, “Changing this New Year”, and “Entering the year, with a new me”. We Filipinos are known for having the grandest celebrations when it comes to New Year, Christmas, and even Fiesta’s. 2021 is truly a blast for all of us, and opening a new chapter of our lives is a cheerful part for all of us.             A new chapter to our lives must be a joyful feeling but it has the feeling of being anxious on what this year has stored for us.

Environment for all

As we grow older, we change. Just like our environment, it also changes. As time passes by our environment slowly degrades, we can see this before the pandemic. Before the pandemic people are littering, burning plastics, not following the proper waste segregation, and many more. As we went on lockdown, we have to stay in our homes, which resulted in the healing of our earth. Due to the lockdown we experiences some news that our earth is slowly going back to its original form, and being clean and green again. As we see small changes, we must continue this to see big changes. As a citizen, we must do everything that we can to make it good again.               There are many steps in protecting our environment, I narrowed it down to two simple ones but I consider this very helpful. First, we must know ourselves, ask yourself “Am I making the earth better or I make it worse?” As we get to know ourselves, we slowly learn the thing...
