Season of Love

The virgin birth of Jesus is the belief that Jesus was conceived in the womb of his mother Mary through the Holy Spirit without the agency of a human father and born while Mary was still a virgin. The day when our savior was born, is now called Christmas Day.

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus and reflect on them. Jesus brought a new religion based on love and the vision of a God who is full of compassion and forgiveness. A vision of doing everything with a positive mindset and from a place of love.

Month of December is the month of Christmas. Winds getting colder, gifts wrapped, decorated houses, excitement of children. These are what we see when Christmas is coming. Amidst the delicious foods, sweat drinks, lovely songs, friends and relatives we would come across this season, do we really have the sight of the true meaning of Christmas?. Christmas is the day when a child was born on winter night, bed that was made by hays and animal foods, our saviour, Jesus Christ. He thought us the true meaning of love. Christmas, the word itself shows faith, forgiveness, and acceptance. So for me, the true essence of Christmas is Jesus himself. Jesus for me is love. We are living in this world because of the love of the savior. We feel happiness because of love. We feel excitement because of love. We know that the word love is powerful. It has the ability to change someone. And for me, the greatest love of all is love Jesus Christ showed to us.

Christmas is the day when the atmosphere is full of love. The day when our surrounding is free to hatreds. They day when we can do all what we want. And the day when the savior, Jesus Christ was born who taught us all what is real, genuine and unconditional love is.

Christmas is near.Let's continue decorating houses, wrapping gifts, meeting friends, and giving time to our family. Because the day will come when the best gift, best friend and real family who is wrapped in our heart will visit our houses and will see the beauty of our decorations. Yes, Jesus Christ will come. And yes, Christmas is near!

Fair-and-Square

          Blood,sweat,tears,struggles and fear. It's all sorrounding the atmosphere. There are crimes, injustices, abuses and hatreds. Children being abused, women being raped, men getting beaten, LGBTQ's being withered away, everyone hating each other.

          Imagine a world without discrimanation, judgements and hatreds. A world we can call free. A world full of love, respect, acceptance and happiness. A world that is filled with people who know the meaning of equality. Imagine the world where people are equal, people with the same mental capabilities sharing lands and resources equally. Is it really possible? or it will only be just an imagination?

          Since the day we were born, we were free. Since the day when we were inside the womb of our mother, we already have rights. It is the right to live. Everyone of us have the right to live but we don't have the right to not let a man or woman live, or to ruin the life of these innocent people. Now, we all know that God made us equally. No one is higher and lower. Every rights we have are the same. But still, there are those people who destroy other people. Envy and pride are reasons why abuses and injustices are happening. These people just need love and comfort. Because I know that love can change anyone. We just need to respect and love each other.

Katarungang Di Nakakamit

          Ang pag-aasawa ay isang bagay ngunit ang pag-aanak ay isang panibagong malaking hamon. Sa siyam na buwan na pagdadalawang tao ng isang ina, nakakaranas siya at nakakaharap ng maraming pagsubok. Sakit sa katawan, tiyan, ulo at marami pa. At dahil sa pagmamahal nila sa kanilang magiging anak, ginagawa niya ang lahat para maiwasang ipunta ang kaniyang anak sa kapahamakan. Pero alam nating lahat na hindi lahat ng ina ay pinapahalagahan ang kanilang anak. Kapag hindi nila ito tanggap, pinapa abot nila ito at ito rin ang magiging sanhi ng kamatayan  ng bata.

          Lahat tayo ay may emosiyon. Nakadarama tayong lahat ng lungkot, saya, galit, at iba pa. Kaya lahat ng tao ay kinakailangang mapahalagahan at makadarama ng pagmamahal. Kung nasasaktan ang mga may edad, pano na sa mga bata? Alam nating lahat na maraming mga bata ang naaabuso at nakadarama ng depresyon. Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit may teenage pregnancy na nagaganap. Maraming mga pangarap ang napupunta sa kawalan. Maraming kasiyahan ang napupunta sa kalungkutan. At maraming mga buhay ang nawawala. Alam  natin na ang mga bata ay hindi pa gaanong mature. Kaya minsan, hindi nila alam ang kanilang mga ginagawa. Hindi nila napapansin na lumalapit na sila sa kapahamakan. May ginawang batas ang pamahalaan na para sa seguridad ng mga babae't babata. Ito ang rason kung bakit lumiliit na ang nangyayaring pang-aabuso sa mga bata. Pero hindi parin nawawala ang mga taong patuloy na nag-aabuso sa mga kabataan. Kaya nawawala ang sinasabing "Katarungan".

          Ang lahat ng tao ay may puso't damdamin. Mayaman man o mahirap, babae man o lalake, matatanda man o mga bata. Nakadarama lahat tayo ng lungkot at alam nating lahat na ang kalungkutan ay nakatutungo sa depresiyon. Kaya, lahat tayo ay magmahalan at magrespetuhan para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Lalo na sa mga kabataan. Sabi nga ni Jose Rizal, "Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan".
