Awaiting for Full Bloom

 

            We live in a world where every single person is unique. We all have something about us that is different. All of us have our own story to tell; a story of who we are and who we want to be, and this is the beginning of my story…

I am like a rose with thorns. Once just a little seed, a little baby; innocent and pure. That grew and became a sapling, a child full of energy and enthusiasm. And now, a rosebud, thriving to become a full bloom flower.

I am classic and versatile, I can standout but I can also easily fit in and work well with others. I always strive for the best and take comfort in tradition. I may have a tough and fierce façade yet I am extremely caring and passionate. I can defend myself whenever people pick on me and want to take me down. My thorns signify my dark side and sometimes my prickly attitude. Nonetheless, this is my shield and protection. Therefore, I should be handled with utmost care and respect.

Just like a rose, I also need love, care and healthy amounts of attention. I crave sunlight for happiness and water for nurturing. As long as there is someone loving and supporting me, I will continue to grow more each day, hoping that someday I will blossom and shine to be the best version of myself.

Until then, I will surround myself with people who offer more sunlight into my life; and stay focused on improving and nurturing myself. In my own time, I will blossom to be so much more than what I expect to be. I am Pearl Therese and I will continue to thrive and live my life as an individual in a world full of other individuals, all beautiful and none the same.

The Duterte Regime

September 9, 2020 Dear President, As a concerned youth and citizen of the Philippines, I am writing to address the difficulties and struggles that our nation is experiencing due to the current crisis and to apprise and condemn the missteps and errors occurred amid the global pandemic under your jurisdiction.   As the COVID-19 pandemic started to invade our country, we had high hopes that you would be on top of everything and that you would respond to this situation immediately and efficiently, but sadly, you did not. You did not prioritize the current crisis nor the lives of your people. Instead, you prioritized to silence the dissent of your countrymen by implementing the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the shutdown of ABS-CBN that affected the livelihood of 11,000 Filipino families and the white sand project in Manila Bay that claims to help Filipinos’ mental health.  These actions are not necessarily needed in the midst of a pandemic.  We, Filipinos never wanted militarism ...

A Step Towards National Resilience

                       Every year, the Philippines face devastating losses caused by natural disasters including catastrophic typhoons, tremendous earthquakes and other hazards coupled with their associated consequences that have massive impacts on the nation's communities, economy, infrastructure and environment. As of the moment, the Philippines, as well as other countries, continue to battle the challenges and struggles brought by the novel Coronavirus.                   The current COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for the Philippines to devote more effort to anticipatory governance, notably through well-established and cooperative emergency management and reconstruction and development of future-proof policies and legislation that serves both current needs and longer-term aspirations of Filipino citizens.            ...

Here's to 2021!

            The world welcomed 2020 with positivity and joy but little did we know it would be a year full of uncertainties and surprises, achievements and failures, and everything else no one asked for. Priorities changed, plans got cancelled. Anxieties and negativities prevailed. Despite all those trying times and hardships that everyone faced, I choose to be grateful. Grateful because we survived 2020 and for that, I want all of us to pat ourselves on the back for getting through these tribulations and adversities.           Now, it’s time to turn the page and leave the past well behind. It’s time to let go of bad energy, negative thoughts and whatever habits that hinders us to flourish and grow. Let us all create a space for everything that we desire. We have a fresh start ahead of us, so be ready to grow, heal and upgrade in every area of our life. Together let us be optimistic about the journey that awaits us this 20...
