In Spite of Appearance

I. TITLE: Indigenous People: Ating Kababayan ating Isalba, Pinoy ako, Katutubo ka, Tayo'y Iisa. II. BACKGROUND : The Philippines is considered as an archipelagic country, meaning that the Philippines consists of many islands and mountain ranges, we're also known to be rich in natural resources. The Philippines is also rich with its cultures that our ancestors passed through generation by generation. Indigenous people have been contributing to our economy and society, as they embody our culture, preserve our past practices and enriches our country's history. They are distanced from modern society, they're living in remote areas where they are unreachable and can't be contacted.  The problem is some organizations/officials plan to come up with projects that build infrastructure/establishments in remote areas for development and upgrading, in those areas where the indigenous people live, occupying and invading the space of the Indigenous people ignoring th...

I'm a self-conscious person, I want to look pleasant and presentable to anyone's eye. I found confidence and composure in styling myself, I spent hours thinking about what clothes should I wear, and I prefer to be called an overdresser than a "baduy or jologs". Styling up boosts my self-confidence; I care about what will I look like not in someone's opinion, and as long as my choice of clothes is comfy and neat, it builds my confidence to walk around without thinking about others' thoughts.   Styling makes me more appreciative of myself and my character. Clothes tell a story about me, it represents my attitude and character. Dressing smart is important for your confidence and sense of self-empowerment, it shows how you care and think about your appearance. The type of clothing might not only influence the way others perceive a person, and how people perceive themselves, but could influence decision-making in important ways through its influence on processing s...

When I met Cupcake, I was overwhelmed by her cuteness and fluffiness  her breed was a Bichon Frise , and I'm amazed by he r personality as an introverted and friendly dog because she is so nice and shows affection, she plays with every person in our house, and she only barks when she's excited or when left alone and what I really like about her is she is playful and energetic every day. She likes being the center of attention and often plays with the kids inside. I love her energy because I know that it matches mine, every time we interact she welcomes me with her paws and tongue, and she loves licking faces and jumping on their arms 'cause she likes to be carried. The other part of Cupcake that I like is her fur which makes her fluffy and squishy, which triggers me to carry, hug, and kiss her. Sadly, Cupcake is not our dog or owned by us, she's owned by someone that is related to us, and she only visits here occasionally because her home is far from ours. As I describ...

Music communicates in either vocal or instrumental sounds with form, melody, rhythm, harmony, tone, and expression of emotions to convey a message and idea. Music helps me in so many ways, especially when I'm feeling alone or happy, it lightens up my mood and energy, it was the cloud-nine moment. Music is a different kind of language that only the soul understands, a sound that is not irritating or annoying, my preferred noise, I live in every sound it makes. When I close my eyes, the feeling it gives is like you're floating in the air, I just have to feel it and listen. It's addictive in a good way where it will just let me listen to it repeatedly and get the nice sensation, some say that music is a medicine, well if that's true, I've been using it for the rest of my life. Kidding aside music plays a special role in my life, because every time my mood and feelings change, music makes me feel safe and calm, it's like someone is patting me on my back and comforti...
