The Essence of Family Day


Last Sunday, on January 26, 2020, the Asian College of Technology celebrated ACT Tribal Family Day with the theme "stronger families, stronger Asianista community". An awesome day in which your family members and your friends are all tied to one another. It was a great day and it expressed the importance of having harmonious and united with your family. Bood related or not.

That day was a blast as I had spent the day with the people whom I have had familial feelings as I consider my friends to be my sisters. The family day had a tribal theme in which it links to the ancestors of the Filipinos. Long before the Spaniards colonized the Philippines, Filipinos way of education at that time was surviving and the young Filipino children's teacher was their parents or an elder in their tribe. This creates a bond between a child and a parent and invoked a bond between the two. And as our school decided to make the theme tribal, I thought of our ancestors who had deep strong bonds with their family and how they treasure these bonds. It made me think of the essence of such events. It rekindles and gives time to develop a bond between a child/children with their parents. It also rouses a deeper bond with your friends and classmates and teachers. 

The family day helps and gives chance to the children to bond with their parents who have lesser time or always busy with their work, to have quality time with their kids and makes the children feel loved and have the attention of their parents. The family day also helps the parents in realizing that work should not be their number one priority but the happiness of their child instead. And I am so happy that schools celebrate and enthusiastically support this kind of event. 

Our family day went smoothly and as exciting as I saw every grade level put their whole in their performances to their very best. All of their performance was amazing and spectacular. The grade 10 won the contest and it was a great ending for the seniors who had four consecutive wins as it will be our very last family day here in Asian College of Technology.

Generosity and Self-preservation

Photo by Jeanille Cogtas                      I agree to this quote when it said "I want to give light but not like the candle". It is like saying that you can give but do not give too much or you will forget leaving some for yourself.  Every one of us must know how to put limitations on some stuffs when it comes to giving. Although it may look like you are being stingy or you're unwilling to give and people might think of it negatively. But it is also important to remind ourselves that this person or people we care shouldn't be place at the center of our lives. We should also think of what they thought of us and how important are we to them because it would be disappointing to know that the level of importance that the person has on us is different from how we imagined. This is also where we apply, "Generosity and self-preservation should be allowed together". At least we wouldn't be disappointed whe...

The Confession

The Confession A young adolescent man named Michael created a letter to his mother. In the letter, he revealed that he was gay. He also said that no one trained or taught him to be gay and being homosexual doesn’t mean being evil and sick. That living in San Francisco was a breath of fresh air as people in there don’t consider sexuality a measure of the worth of being human. My thoughts on Michael’s letters is that he didn’t have it easy growing up being gay. He was disdained for who he was. Revulsion, shame, and disbelief. Micheal had the experience that while growing up. And for fear of being rejected, it took Michael to finally revealed to his mother that he was gay.  Sometimes life is not fair for people. Sometimes we will never know what will hit us and discrimination against LGBT people is commonplace. Gay, lesbian or bisexual people are 10 times more likely to experience discrimination based on  sexual orientation  than heterosexual people. Mistr...

Incidents in Greek Mythology

Judgement of Paris In the famous judgement of Paris, Paris chose Aphrodite who offered him the most beautiful woman to be his wife, disregarding Athena and Hera's offers which are power, military glory and wisdom. Paris was a foolish man and he was thought of as a philanderer. He was foolish for choosing beauty over power and wisdom. And what made it so much worse is, is the fact that Helen is already married to King Menelaus. Paris should have known that, after all Helen's beauty is widespread and the talk-of-the-town and being married to a king is a plus to that. And yet he still did it without thinking of the consequences that might happen. He didn't think that by involving himself to the goddesses' silliness, he could cause problems or initiate one. He didn't think that by having Helen as his wife, it would ensued a 10 long year war that killed thousand of people. All he was thinking at that time was that he can have the most beautiful woman to be his wife...
