Wit's Dark Matter

  I am caught in a web of ambiguity and existential torment, while some people confidently set their courses. The idea of committing to a certain vocation or life path appears ludicrous, comparable to practicing self-delusion. The gnawing sense of emptiness inside is made worse by the anxiety of not having a clear vision for the future, which clings to me like a shadow. I struggle with the depressing idea that life lacks meaning or purpose fundamentally amid this huge sea of uncertainty. When we realize how pointless our existence is, pursuing our own aspirations and objectives becomes pointless. It seems as though we are unimportant beings lost in an uncaring universe, doomed to vanish into oblivion without leaving a permanent mark. When faced with this gap of the existential, I take comfort in the idea that the voyage itself has a certain charm. I can choose my own course in the midst of the confusion and absurdity, led by ephemeral passions and joyous moments. I choose to vi...

Embracing change may be a frightening task, especially as I approach my junior high school graduation. It can seem like a scary concept due to the ambiguity, hazards, and potential criticism involved with venturing into the unknown. I frequently let other people's judgments hold me back from making the essential initial move toward change. The feeling of intimidation is further made worse by the fear of vulnerability. But deep inside, I understand that change has the potential to bring about new liberties and limitless opportunities. Starting a change is not an easy endeavor, and maintaining the effort as it progresses can be equally difficult. Nothing truly valuable, it is claimed, comes easily. If change were comfortable, everyone would welcome it without hesitation. Change is necessary despite the difficulty, though. Sometimes, when we have aspirations of changing the world, we lose sight of the fact that real change starts within. It calls for us to have confidence in our own...

  Mother's Day is a great holiday recognizing and celebrating all the wonderful mothers in the world. It provides us with a moving opportunity to reflect on the immense love and sacrifices our moms have made for us. My mother constantly puts the needs of our family first, and she is the epitome of strength and resilience. I honestly feel that without her unending love and guidance, I would not be the person I am today. She has made numerous sacrifices on our sake. My mind was filled to the brim with thoughts of the sacrifices mother made for my brothers and myself as I thought about this Mother's Day. Let's strive to be the best versions of ourselves as we observe Mother's Day in addition to honoring the sacrifices and love made for us. May we recognize the immense influence our mothers have had and continue to have on us and strive to make them proud in every part of our lives. Reference: Why do we get bags under our eyes?

       Dirty hands, wrinkled shirts, sore feet, and a body covered with sweat. All of us may have experienced this, but nothing ever comes close to our laborers, the "Manggagawang Pilipino".    Did you ever wonder how these hardworking people just barely put something on their tables? They are living in a hand to mouth existence. Paycheck to paycheck, insufficient money and resources for basic needs, and works over 8 hours a day. Something that isn't fair and unacceptable in my point of view.     If we take a look at the month of May, there is a day for laborers, a day which serves the purpose of ensuring fair rights for Filipino Workers. The celebration constantly uplifts the privileges of our laborers and acknowledges their unending contributions in economic development. Despite their big roles in economic growth, they are the one that sits at the bottom rank of paycheck values. Although the efforts of the government are present, it lacks focus ...

     In the past 3 quarters of the academic year, only one remained constant, lies. It has always been a part of life, and it will always be. There are a lot of people who're scared to hear and know what the truth is. It is really scary, but what scares me the most is that it speaks for itself.    3 quarters of studying in the last grade level of junior highschool. It was tough, I can say that I am getting better at facing the challenges thrown at me. This quarter, the lessons in Edukasyon Sa Pagpapakatao gave a huge impact on my life and views. It carved "Maging Makadiyos, Maging Makabansa, Maging Makakalikasan, Magpkatao at Magpakatotoo" on my heart and soul. Something that was really amazing and life-changing.   In the remainder of the school year, I will continue my constant truth. I will side for what is right, ang fight for those who are abused with lies.Achievements and Money can buy happiness, but it can't buy dignity and respect of the people....

Cuaresma or Holy Week is just day offs from school. In my own perspective, it was just an ordinary break from the world. A rest that I can enjoy throughout the span of the celebration. A week to spend time with relatives, family, and friends. A week away from academic works and stress. A week of relaxing and travelling places. A literal break, but was it? While most of us are enjoy the 6-day vacation by visiting churches, going to beaches, travelling to places, attending holy week activities, or by just simply sleeping, there I am, staring at a blank document. Finding the motivation to finish my backlogs, assignments, and projects given by our dear teachers. There I am creating reports while recalling lessons from the past. There I am making reviewers for the upcoming quarterly tests. There I am fighting with the demons that prevents me from doing work. There I am facing the demons whom I followed in the past weeks, the demons that caused my backlogs. Although holy week is a break, it ...
