Born to be a Hero!

Who would think that the next national hero was born 17 years ago?

June 19, 1994, the day that will mark the history, why? Because I was born on this day. The next national hero of the Philippines is born. It may sound funny for most of you but let’s accept and face it. It was a stormy morning in Calamba, Laguna, where our current national hero was born also. Don’t you think it’s just a coincident? No, because this is what God wants to happen. A child that will follow the footsteps of Dr. Jose Rizal should be born on the day when Rizal was born also. 

Rizal and I have many similarities. Not only we were both born in Calamba at exactly the same date. Like Rizal, I am also a scholar of the most prestige school here in the country. I may not be the most excellent student but I’m striving to be the best for myself. We both have a very strong faith to God. I believe that God should be first before anyone else. Then, after God the family will be next. Both of us love our family so much to the point that we will sacrifice ourselves for them. But like Rizal, I also aim to help with the best of my ability my fellow countrymen.

My high school friends used to tease me “Dr. Feel”. Then I said, why are you calling me that way? They answered because I am always helping those people who need advice in their life. They said that I always know what is best to do in a particular situation. Almost all people I’ve helped always say that I am their hero, I am their savior. So in this way I became a hero for them. Even though it’s not like as big as Dr. Jose Rizal  achievement but I am proud to say that I change lives in my own little ways. I am born to be a hero and I believe that everyone of us is like me. We may not be as best as Dr. Jose Rizal, but in our own little way we became hero for others. Yes, God gave this life because we have a purpose to be fulfilled. Dr. Jose Rizal purpose is to help us free from the colonizer. My purpose is to help who is in need. Like what the De La Salle Canlubang gave me. Again let’s live like a Hero and be part of our own history. J 

FREE WRITING

Hello, this is my 2nd blog! Yay! Can't believe that i'm enjoying writing blog! :)

Free writing activity is so much fun. It gives me the courage to tell all what I feel in the paper. We all know that guys are so much secretive. As much as possible we don’t want other people knows our secret. But because of this activity all my hard and good feelings were brought outside my mind and my heart. The activity was divided into two parts. The first part is we are given 5 minutes to write anything that is in our mind. This part is I like the most, why? Because it opens me, myself, who am I as human being, what I’m thinking in a particular moment. This gives the writer all the freedom that he wants in writing anything or most of us calling “random thoughts”. The second part is also quite good. We were given a topic/question and we need to write something about that in 5 minutes. The question is “what are we going to do in weekends?”. This part, I felt more the pressure because I believe that most of us will be doing limited things on our weekend. That’s why there are only little things that we will be writing on the paper. But all in all the activity captured our skills in thinking and writing. It’s part of discovering  ourselves as we discover new things and insights. 

NET-putation

           One  of the most popular today most especially to teens are social networking sites. No doubt that we Filipino’s are so addicted to this site.  As of 2011, Philippines named social networking capital of the world. This is not shocking because when we open our internet, the first thing that we will open is the forever favorite facebook. Facebook just started about 7 years ago but it is really a big hit. Because of this it became a big part of our life. It can make us popular but we should be aware that with a fame at anytime we can lose it. Because of the popularity of this site many people put their personal information and sometimes we post something that we shouldn’t have posted. We should be smart in using these sites because maybe in the future time it will destroy our solid identity.

         Have you tried to google your name? If you haven’t then I suggest as early as now you should try it. So that you can check if your identity is still good or bad. Why is it important to check? It’s because internet is just everywhere, anyone can use it, even you don’t know them they can google your name. internet is now part of our life. That’s why its very important to us to have a good NET-putation meaning net reputation. I personally tried it and I’m very nervous because this is the first time I’m doing it. I had a sign of relief that up to now I still have a good reputation. I suggest that you should be try it also. This will help you to protect yourself and maintain a good image on the internet.
