Presence, not Presents

-

 



In the Philippines, as we enter September we already feel the cold breeze of December, and as we near the final month of 2021, we feel the warm welcome of our towns people begin to decorate and chant Christmas songs to signify the beginning of the holiday seasons

 

Hearing the word "Christmas", the first thing that comes to my mind is a festive pine tree decorated with shining balls, artificial stars and with presents filled below it, well this must be the thought of most people, but we should remember that we celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December because it was the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, he  is worshipped as the “Messiah” and he saved the entire world from our sins. Even though it is mainly celebrated by Christians throughout the world, it is still one of the most enjoyed festivities in the world.

 

Christmas has always been an occasion I’ve always been looking forward to every year, and it’s not because of the gifts but because it is one of the days where I get to see every member of our family celebrating together.

Birds singing melodies, branches crackling and leaves rustling, settling down in the balcony sipping lukewarm white coffee watching the flaming sphere rise, this is my ideal morning to start a great day. Oh, my bad! I haven’t introduced myself yet, the name’s Ryan Matthew Reyes Vera Cruz, you may call me Matt or Ram, I am currently 15 years old, I am my hobbies are playing video games with my friends and the boys and listening to music, my favorite color is orange, because it reminds me of the bright burning passion of hope that the sun brings, and it inspires me to ignite as bright.  We just scratched the surface, there is much more to learn about me! I am not going to lie, but I am awful at socializing with random people, that’s why I tend to get nervous and forget what I am saying, I love to learn and study topics about science and computers, I find them very interesting! I am not really that good in arithmetic equations and speaking in tagalog, but I will always try to do my ...

  September 15, 2021 Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte Malacañang Palace,  San Miguel, Manila Dear President Duterte,                          A lovely day to you sir president, I am sending you this letter because I want to tell you how grateful I am to be a Filipino citizen in your term of presidency, I also want to express my issues and concerns during your term as the Philippine president.           First thing’s first, I am pleased that your War on Drugs is turning out quite well, even though the drugs in the country isn’t fully gone, your administration still did quite well, but you should know that violent isn’t always the best choice in winning wars, this war is no exception, instead of guns and blood, you could also conduct guidance programs that aims to alter the perceptions of reality of drug addicts for the better.       ...

Well, we are approaching the end of another quarter, I am still not ready to say goodbye to grade 10, since I've never fully embraced its contents and enjoyabilities just yet, Its going to suck since there is only one more quarter left but on the bright side, Face-to-Face will get implemented on the start of the final quarter, so I am very much excited to see some familiar faces for almost 3 years. This quarter might be one of the most memorable ones in my opinion, not only because the topics presented and discussed this time were one of my favorites, but also because this quarter was as fruitful of juicy knowledge as ever.  This quarter was hands down magnificent. Science presenting my favorite branch which is biology, I personally just adore studying the plants, animals or even humans like ourselves. English being the most fruitful subject, because our main topic this quarter was creating essays with critical analysis, this promoted my critical thinking and when writing essays I ...
