“Why The Philippines is the Best place to Grow Old” Growing old is not nice. In fact, it is ugly. Your face will start to have wrinkles. Your eyesight will be blurred. And you will be weak as ever. Oftentimes, aging is looked down upon as something to be dreaded. That is why in some progressive countries, the working class must send their old parents into hospitals and nursing homes. Not because they want to, but for reason that they are too busy to take care of their old folks. They only see these senior citizens on holidays. Not a good sight to see especially when you know that you are soon going to be a golden-ager. If you are old and you want to live a happy life, then I suggest you go to the Philippines. The Philippines has a huge emphasis on family. To the Filipinos, family always comes first. Everything else is 2nd priority. In this country, the older family members are still viewed as a key part of the family… regardless of age. In this nation, the younger people...

In a few days from now, it’s going to be Father’s Day. All of us will be honoring our father and celebrating & thanking them for all the good things they have given us. But what is the definition of being a Father really? Are they meant to be providers? Is having the tag name “Man of the House” gives them the sole authority to be the only disciplinarian in the family? Can anybody be a father even if they don’t bear any biological offspring? The definition of a Father is not only traditional and one dimensional. Through the years, a Father figure has evolved in multiple ways. But the only thing that remains the same is a Father’s love for his children. A Father who will Sacrifice everything (even up to his last breath) to give anything for their kids. We have heard a lot of stories about why a Father become a Hero to their sons and daughters. Each one unique and special especially if it comes from you or your own family. Well, I got one of my own. And this person is ...

Everywhere I look, I see Filipinos leaving our country for greener pastures. Some for temporary work, some for good. I don’t blame them, there are not enough pastures that go around here anyway. Some locals despise our country. To them, they think that staying and living in a foreign country gives them the right to be more superior than the ones they left behind. Little did they know that their blood of being a Filipino still runs in their veins. Why is it some Filipinos hate our country? Did our country do something bad to them to made them act that way? Did they lose hope and have given up on our motherland? To my fellow Filipinos, please, in any circumstance, don’t ever lose hope to the country where you were born in. There is so much beauty in the Philippines. We people just tend to forget it. We sometimes ignore what is in front of us. Why do we have to travel to different countries, when we have 7,641 amazing and captivating islands to choose from? The problem is ...

“Why hanging out with Kids will make your Life more Happier” Whether you have kids of your own or not, you have to agree that kids are probably the most beautiful creatures ever made in this world. Just looking at their cute faces is enough to make your heart melt. Their smile and laughter can brighten any dark and gloomy kingdom. And most important of all, they are full of energy and positivity in life. Through the course of my entire life, I managed to encounter a lot of kids from different walks of life. They were not mine, but I don’t mind because we share a common bond and enthusiasm with endless play and adventures. These kids eventually have now all grown up and matured. They have their own life now as we speak. But that’s all fine with me because I will forever cherish the time that we had when they were little. It’s a pleasant feeling that both parties benefited from each other. Learning from these juveniles gave me a brighter outlook on life. While I (in return) w...
