The Environmental Catastrophe

            During the time of our parents and grandparent , it was easier to know when the summer and rainy seasons, or when the cool and hot seasons started and ended in the Philippines. But today in our generation it is difficult to identify when or where the summer or the rainy seasons would be. This could be one of the attributes to a worldwide phenomenon called Global Warming.

             Global Warming is the increase of the earth's temperature due to build up of gases in the atmosphere. This warming has become unpredictable and severe. With global warming comes more floods, droughts, storms, and extreme temperatures, where never sure what the climate is the next month or even the next week brings. In the country, global warming means that even if its summer, rains and sometimes typhoon occur, there will be shorter cool months, and the rainy/hot seasons will be longer or even shorter. Global warming and changing weather patterns will be stressful to people, animals, plants, and the environment. Climate change is also connected to the above topic, it is the alteration in our weather patterns caused by global warming.

             It's true that we are really experiencing an ecological catastrophe, we may prevent or even lessen its effect if we will just unite as one. I know it's not that easy to be united but in our own simple ways we can help in lessening the effect of this ecological catastrophe. We can reduce using plastics, its better if we can avoid using plastic bags, we must follow the 3r, or the REDUSE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. We can also kept even small candy wrappers we see, and even some crumbled  papers on the streets. By reducing the usage of plastics and  Styrofoam we can help a lot. We can help in each simple ways.

Romeo and Juliet: A Humorous Ending­

             The ending of Romeo and Juliet base on Shakespeare's original play  is a tragic love story. For some Filipinos it's not a play, maybe because some of us wants to have a humorous ending or even a whole humorous play just like what we always watch in the teleseryes such as the movies of Mr. Rodolfo Vera Quizon also known as "Mang Dolphy" . But what if there will be a very big twist in the play? What if it’s a humorous ending instead of a tragic one? What will you choose?

                       Friar Laurence give a sleeping poison to Juliet, while Romeo is hiding from the peoples of Verona. Juliet tell her parents that she will marry Paris. On the night before her wedding, she drink the sleeping poison. On her wedding day, her parents just found her died on her room. Romeo didn’t  receive the letter stating that Juliet is just sleeping and will wait for him. On Juliet's tomb, Romeo just found her died, not even knowing that Juliet is just sleeping. Romeo get his dagger, on the time that he is ready to kill himself, Juliet wakes up. Before the dagger reach Romeo's breast, Juliet wakes up and hug him very tight. The lovers take their time discussing what really happened. Romeo tell Juliet that she is a transgender/gay and he really love Paris, that she is just using Juliet for him to be close to Paris. And Juliet tell Romeo that she is a lesbian, she loves Rosaline very much, that she only uses Romeo for him to have idea how to court and to be very close to Rosaline. They decided to tell their parents about that thing, instead of scolding them, their parents just laugh on them. Their parents just accept them and they live happy forever.

              Imagine the play is like that, what would you choose? If you will ask me, I will choose the old and the original version of the play. For me nothing bets the original one.

Romeo and Juliet: A Happy Ending

         The ending of Romeo and Juliet base on Shakespeare's original play  is a tragic love story. For some Filipinos it's not a play, maybe because we always want to have a happy ending like in the fairy tales such as snow white, sleeping beauty, Cinderella and many more. But what if there will be a big twist in the play? What if it’s a happy ending instead of a tragic one? What will you choose?     
          Friar Laurence give a sleeping poison to Juliet, while Romeo is hiding from the peoples of Verona. Juliet tell her parents that she will marry Paris. On the night before her wedding, she drink the sleeping poison. On her wedding day, her parents just found her died on her room. Romeo didn’t  receive the letter stating that Juliet is just sleeping and will wait for him. On Juliet's tomb, Romeo just found her died, not even knowing that Juliet is just sleeping. Romeo get his dagger, on the time that he is ready to kill himself, Juliet wakes up. Before the dagger reach Romeo's breast, Juliet wakes up and hug him very tight. The lovers take their time discussing what really happened. They decided to go far away from Verona, and live happily ever after.             
             For me, the tragic ending of the play is still better, the best I mean. Maybe we just have different taste in choosing the best ending of the play, I can't do any for that, we just  have to agree in each and every one of us.

A Family Like What I Have is a Blessing From Above. =)

             Family as what defined at wikipedia is " In human context, a family  is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence. In most societies it is the principal institution for the socialization of children. Anthropologists most generally classify family organization as matricidal ; conjugal  and consanguinity in which parents and children co-reside with other members of one parent's family".But for me, a family is not just compose of parents and children. It includes love and care of each and every member to one another. But there are times simple complication or miscommunication leads to fall outs.
             A small, simple but happy family that is what my family is. I am contented with my family. For me,my family is the only one that will accept me for who I am and will not be ashamed of what I am. Families aren’t easy to join. Their like an exclusive country club where membership makes impossible demands and the dues for an outsider are exorbitant. 

              The bond that links your true family is not of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.Having a family like mine is one of the most precious thing I ever had. And they are one of the reason for what and why who I am now.
