SHARE the day of Christmas with LOVE

   Christmas is already near. We could already feel its presence by its cool breeze making us hug ourselves every morning with a jacket. Still, knowing us, we feel excited about Christmas because of? Of course, of the gifts, outings, celebrations, long week vacation, new outfits and a lot more. I think most of us already forgot the true reason why we need to prepare for this occasion. Or maybe, we’ve forgot its true essence.

  God had given us his only son, Jesus, and was given birth by Virgin Mary. And this 25^th of December is the day when Jesus Christ was born, the day of Christmas. So is this the only occasion? No, because it is just the start. The true essence is in the climax. Jesus lived here with us showing his deep and selfless love for us by means of sacrifices and he also made sharing on the words of God. Is it still hard to think of the essence of Christmas through that sentence?

  Well to make it shorter, Christmas is all about giving love and sharing blessings. Christmas is not about pure happiness on your own house with a lot of food prepared or getting out and go to different places. Christmas is not just about receiving and receiving gifts or buying new, original and signature clothes. Instead, Christmas is about giving love with others not just with the family but also sharing love with the poor or even your neighbor may do. Love can also be expressed by forgiving people who made you cry or by asking forgiveness to those people whom you’ve hurt. Love can also be expressed by simply accepting others whole heartedly. Christmas is also about sharing, sharing blessings like your food, clothes and many more. Sharing and loving like what Jesus did will make you much happier than those previous days filled with anger, judgments and hatreds.

  Try to make a change for this year’s celebration of Christmas. That instead of doing again things that you used to do what if make it more memorable for you. Believe me, it may not be that easy but if you really want to feel that God is with you, make your Christmas the most out of it.

EQUALITY: A difference is not the basis

  We were born with different skin color, different races, different perspectives or different beliefs, religion and cultures and etc. But then are these differences among all of us is really the thing why we couldn't attain total equality? or it is because also of us people making it harder to unite and be as one? 

   We are too judgmental. FACT. but we are not that totally perfect people to judge others. FACT. we are gifted with the eye to see people's worth, right, and opportunity equally. But we're doing it the opposite way. We use this pair to see people unfairly. We use them to judge though we couldn't even scan ourselves first before doing so. 

                Equal rights. Children, women, marginalized section, LGBT must also be given the chance to be free. free from insult hypercritical eyes, abuse, discrimination and also violence. Equal rights. Meaning even though you’re old or young, rich or poor, or whatever gender you are in we deserve to be respected.  Equal rights. It is because we’re created in the same way as God did with others. Equal rights. It is because we have these so called human rights. Treat others in a right way and in the way that they deserve.

              Equal opportunity is also giving equal treatment to all. It is by giving them chances to prove to us their capabilities even though they have disabilities, what is their gender, race, religion or nationality. We couldn’t just judge someone else by its sexuality or physical aspect it is on what they can do. For instance, in hiring employees, disregard their sex and think of their capacities. What if the woman is better than the man? What if members of LGBT community like gay is more deserving of that position than the guy? A difference is not the basis.

                We all deserve to be treated right. We all need equal rights and equal opportunities. So what can we do? All we need to do is to respect and to be respected, to love and to be loved, accept and to be accepted. Despite of our differences, in God we are all equal.

MGA BATA'Y HUWAG PABAYAN, WASTONG PAG-AARUGA'T PAGKALINGA ANG KAILANGAN

   Ang daming pangarap ang tumatakbo sa isipan at imahinasyon ng isang musmos na bata. Na  parang gusto nitong maabot ang tuktok ng tagumpay. Gusto rin niyang magtagumpay at kailangan rin niyang magtagumpay. Halos hindi na nga mabilang kung minsan ang kanilang mga hangarin. maging isang modelo't disiplinado na maaari ring kilalanin ng iba at magsilbing inspirasyon sa kapuwa nila. ngunit ano nga ba ang nararapat nating gawin upang sila'y matulungan sa kanilang mga minimithi?

   Mula sa pagmamahalang umusbong sa puso ng isang lalaki at babae hanggang sa bumuo sila ng sarili nilang kubo't nabiyayaan ng anak. Dito nagsimula ang lahat. Sa pamilya ang uang paaaralan ng mga baat. Sa pamilya natututo silang makihalubilo, magmahal, disiplinahin ang sarili, guamalang, umunawa at magmalasakit. Ito ay upang maituwid ang isang bata sa kaniyang daang tatahakin.

   Responsibilidad ng magulang na gawin at iapaunawa sa mga bata ang mga ito. Kaya naman ay nararapat na sila'y matiyaga at mapag-aruga sa kanilang mga anak. Kailanagn nilang alagaan at palakihing mabuti ang mga bata. suportahan sila sa kung ano ang nais nila sa buhay.

   Sa mga ibang magulang kasi ngayon, kinakalimutan na nila ang kanilang tungkulin sa pamilya lalo na sa kanilang mga anak. Napapabayaan ang kanilang mga anak kaya naman hindi na normal ang kanilang paglaki. May mga bata na ngayong nagsasakripisyo na sana ay mga magulang ang dapat na gumawa. Na imbis na mag-aral ay sila na ang kumakayod na mga magulang rin sana ang gumagawa. At labag ito batas. nawawalan na sila ng karapatan paar mag-aral na siya lamang sisusi sa kanilang minimithing tagumpay. may mga bata ring napabayaan na lamang sa lansangan dahil hindi pa handa ang kanilang mga magulang sa naiatang na responsibilidad  kaya hindi nila mgampanan. Resulta nito? Mga batang naglalako, pakalat-kalat, naimpluwensiyahn na ng droga o kaya'y nasa kondisyon na ng malnutrisyon. hindi lang ang mga ito kundi marami pa. marami pang mga hindi magandang nangyayari sa mga kabataan na siyang tinuturing ng lipunan na susi sa pagkamit natin sa magandang kinabukasan.

  Kung isa kang magulang sa henerasyong ito o sa mga nauan pa, huwag mag-atubiling gawin ang  itinakdang tungkulin. dapat ay may tama tayong pag-aaruga sa ating mga anak o kung may mabuti kang puso ay kahit na tumulong man lang sa mga iabang bata kahit hindi na kapamilya. magkaroon rin dapat tayo ng pagpapahalaga sa kanilang pagkabuhay sa mundo. tulungan at alagaan sila sa pinakamabuting paraan. at huwag sana tayong mapapagod na mahalin sila dahil sarili nilang kinabukasan ang isinasakatuparan.
