What You Saw Is What You Reap
Taken for Granted
THE END.

It’s exhausting being a student, for it acquire great responsibility ---- obligations that sharpens ones skills and mind, enhance ones personality and create a strong and wise men ---- a normal student like me may find it hard to do some extra-curricular tasks and be involved to other organizations actively participating in school-related activities and all; I do not consider joining and participating to some ORG or clubs important.

The news lasted for almost couple of weeks; all I’ve seen and heard from the news were all about the complaints by the thousands of Filipinos begging for help pleading to others to offer them some helping hands for they need support for everything.
Gigantic logs hit the houses that caused for it to be destroyed, foul odor came from unfound bodies buried under the muds, lacking of food supplies, potable water, and not enough space suitable for people to stay, dress and many more ---- common things that people from affected areas suffers.

Due to the existence of media their demand were heard all over the continent. Making many people empathized and sympathized to their agony, I wonder, why some people need to vulgarize and announce the things that they’ve done in order to ease the suffering of others, why don’t they help silently and purely and

    These world-renowned events in our country are just bits of pieces of sand in the Sahara desert compared to the plentiful crimes, committed here, only here, in the Philippines. If we are to count every fraud, every Filipino suffering, every lie committed by government officials, every cent corrupted by the government, every billions of money added to their bank accounts, every Filipino dying (take note, not all are because of natural causes), every family grieving, every shattered dreams of each citizen, every student disappearing, every right violated... the list is endless! We would not be able to count at all. It was devastating, frustrating to hope for a better future here in this nation.…

    No one can blame them if they reacted that way; after all, the media reported it as if changes would take effect the next day.

It's not unknown to anyone in the Philippines that the biggest chunk of recruitment, hiring, and employment in the country comes from the BPO sector; and just thinking that it would be stopped, the Filipino people can more or less already get a picture of how the economy would fair given the sudden increase of the unemployment rate.…

    A king was touring his kingdom on his elephant. Suddenly he stopped in front of a shop in the market and said to his minister, "I don't know why, but I want to hang the owner of this shop." The minister was shocked. But before he could ask the king why, the king had moved on. The next day, the minister went to that shop dressed as one of the locals to see the shopkeeper. He casually asked him how his business was faring. The shopkeeper, a sandalwood merchant, reported sadly that he had hardly any customer. People would come to his shop, smell the sandalwood and then go away. They would even praise the quality of the sandalwood but rarely buy anything. His only hope was that the king would die soon. Then there would be a huge demand for sandalwood for performing his last rites. As he was the only sandalwood merchant around, he was sure the king's death would mean a windfall.…

    I, for one, am not from Cagayan de Oro. On the night of December 16, few hours before Sendong hit the city and took the lives of many, my blockmates and I were busy and on the roll having our Christmas Party at one of the fancy resto-bars in CDO. We were all then having fun, laughing at each others’ jokes, singing and dancing, eating and chatting about random things, unwrapping Christmas presents. Outside, the rain was furiously becoming stronger every minute. And little did we know that few hours from that moment of merriment, a deluge in the form of Sendong will strike, like a thief in the night, and will change the lives of many.…
