Mumbles of each clock

"Tick-tock, tick, tick-tock"

With each passing time I seem to keep hearing the sounds of the past mumbling at me. From each tick made from the movement of the clock, it looks to be addressing my past mistakes that I regret more than anything in my life.

11:35 is the time, I'm still awake despite sleeping everyday around 9 o'clock. Before the clock hit 12, I started reflecting on my journeys this year. It seemed that almost everything I did this year, I'm deeply regretting this very minute. For being someone who didn't spend their time wisely, for never spending much time with my friend who transferred, for never socializing with enough people, I seem to regret it all.

Whilst reflecting on the things I did this year the clock finally hit 12, the silent environment turned into a party. The empty streets were filled and packed with joy, from kids and people celebrating the new year. The moment I saw their bright smiles was the same time I saw a glimmer of hope. I realized that a new year isn't a date for people to regret every choice they did the past years.

Instead it's a new door opening a beginning to a path towards a better future. It shows that instead of dwelling on things that we can't change, we should focus on the new chance given to us to create a new year filled with decisions that we can look back on the following years. Decisions that'll make us smile and be proud of how far we've come as a person.

Not only a woman, I'm more than that

"You are only a woman. You have NO rights!", Only a woman?ONLY? This is the sad reality that most women still experience nowadays. Hurtful words that pierce through their hearts like it's made out of paper, disregarding any rights or proof of all of their efforts because they're 'only' a "powerless" gender seen to almost all. They're often taken advantage of because of everyone's thoughts that women are powerless and will never have enough courage to speak the truth; that's how some completely hideous people see women. They see them as toys and dolls that are made 'exclusively' for men and the society to play with. Do we really want to keep living in this harsh reality where women are seen as tools for pleasure? Thankfully there have been many laws implemented protecting the rights of women and protecting them against violence. Such as RA 8353 or The Anti-Rape Law of 1997 and RA 11313 or Safe Spaces Act. RA 8353 (The Ant...

Greenery for everybody

Greenery keeps the world pretty. As we approach the month of the environment, many activities and programs are to follow it. That's why as a student I wanted to do my part and contribute to the preservation of our green environment. Some things may seem small and simple at first but when we collect all of these tiny pieces and glue them together it can turn into something big. Exactly like turning off the lights when they're not in use, it does not only limit the use of electricity but also lessens the contribution of people to light pollution. Walking instead of riding motorcycles when the places you want to go to is close. Is a simple yet helpful thing for our environment, it does not only benefit you but also the people that surrounds you. Because it helps you burn fat and also lessen the amount of air pollution released into the earth. Another way I helped in keeping our environment clean is by simply throwing trash in the right place. Because any trash that's just t...
