Marami ang nagsasabi na talagang grabe na ang mga kabataan ngayon. Sinasabi nila na noon, tuloy pa rin ang klase sa kabila ng anumang kalamidad. Sa kabilang banda, sinasabi rin nila na mas mahina ang mental health ng mga kabataan ngayon kumpara sa kanila noon. Maarte, mahina, reklamador—ilan lamang iyan sa mga masasakit na salitang ibinabato nila sa mga kabataang katulad ko.
          	
          	I just want to say that comparing generations and speaking negatively will not lead to national progress. You may have borne your struggles the strongest, but that does not mean it applies to everyone. Right now, it is a good thing we have the freedom to speak and to fight for our rights. This is unlike before, when there was a stigma in discussing such issues of great importance.
          	
          	And no, we are not overreacting. We speak and fight, and that is what helps our world to grow. I hope that even if you cannot understand us, kindness will still prevail in the words you utter.
          	
          	We speak not for weakness, but for reform. The world needs speakers of realization, not followers of silence.

Good morning, lovelies! 
          
          Let us all be safe from the upcoming typhoon. Maging handa po tayo sa anumang oras, at huwag natin kalimutan ang magdasal palagi. I know for sure, God will save us from this calamity.

We witnessed the impact of Bagyong Tino last week, kaya medyo kinakabahan na ulit dahil may bagyo na naman paparating. Signal no. 1 sa amin dito, pero hindi pa rin talaga kampante sa posibleng mangyayari. 
            
            Dinaan kami ng lindol, ng low pressure, at ng bagyo. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pahiwatig ng lahat ng ito. Pero ang alam ko lang ay may dahilan. There is always a reason for everything. 
            
            On the other hand, the calamities also serve as a reminder for us to not forget the people who governed our country into poverty—destroying our mother nature for their own gain, and spending the money that was supposed to be for the betterment of our country on their own luxurious lives. This is an example of greed. I hope they will receive the karma, not just from us, but also from God.

Anger? Of course it's needed. When burning up, there's a reason. 
          It might just be history, that changes the world too. 
          But this is not anger, but feces. 
          What is anger you know? 
          Pretending it's anger and killing real anger. A lot of people, with no number to get tired of. 
          You're not only killing me. We're used to stepping on poop. 
          I get angry at the pent-up anger towards evil. 
          
          BTS - UGH!

Never judge a person based on what you have seen and on what he or she has shown to you. Hindi natin alam ang lahat ng pinagdadaanan nila sa kabila ng lahat ng pinapakita at nakikita natin sa kanila. Kagaya ko ay hindi ko rin alam ang lahat ng tungkol sa ‘yo, at ganoon na rin kayo sa akin. I might act like the world is as gentle as the wind, or I am as tough as the stone, but you will never know deeply inside—on what I am holding for so long. It was just easy for us to bully a person, humiliate, or even cancel them because when we think of it, we will never be in the same position as them, so we will never experience it—hindi natin iyon mararanasan, at wala tayo sa kanilang posisyon para masaktan. Those are not true. We are deceived by our own ignorance. 
          
          I hope we will learn how to be kind and gentle to others. Sa ganiyang mga paraan lamang maiisip ng isang tao na nirerespeto natin siya at handa tayong makinig sa pagkakamali niya at sa mga bagay na nais niyang baguhin para sa atin at para sa sariling pagkamit ng kabutihan. 
          
          May we never be the reason for their pain, struggles, and death.

@Floreserenity Kindness is not something that is innate, but it is something that should be worked hard for.

I Stand Against Corruption. 
          
          As a writer and a philosophy student, it was hard to remain silent in times of this situation; it was hard to keep my eyes blind to the shadows of lies and from the ignorance I found in darkness. Corruption has been one of the greatest problems our country is facing. If we are not going to voice out, if we ourselves are not going to participate in this situation, this problem will never die. And by that, evil people are still going to serve and feed us with their fake words and actions that go against their true principles. 
          
          I see the result of corruption. I see it from the news and from the people around me, especially from my family. My mom had to work even when she’s not feeling well because one absence leads to cutting off from her salary as an office clerk. On the other hand, my father is a pedicab driver, and he also works even when he is not feeling well. My older brother, at the same time, also had to work overtime and even on weekends to increase his salary a bit. They worked hardly and decently—only to find out that these corrupt and criminal government officials were the ones that were not. What made me furious is that they stole the money from the tax the people worked hard to earn. 
          
          I stand against corruption because I believe every evil individual should be held accountable for their wrongdoings and face the proper consequences, including imprisonment when necessary. Allowing them to be free from the punishment could lead to normalization that it is okay to steal, it is okay to hurt people, it is okay to kill people. This normalization leads to suffering, especially to us as ordinary citizens. We should not be blind to the things we already knew and seen. We should not be voiceless, especially when calling out these corrupt individuals. We should stand together in this.

Good morning, lovely people!
          
          I read all the R-18 chapters of my stories and noticed that I had made a huge mistake in filtering my words, especially in some parts where I replaced explicit words with something I thought would be better to read—not too erotic, not too dirty. However, it was too much; I used the word "femininity" as a replacement for the female private part. As per my research, even if I tried to argue that I used that word to make it less inappropriate, it still resulted in an error.
          
          Femininity has various meanings; it is not about our private parts. This could lead to confusion for some readers. I hold myself accountable for my mistake and will try to edit it as immediately as I can. Thank you po.
