What's A Bird Without Its Wings?

-

What's a bird without its wings? could it fly like the others? will it be able to keep up with its flock-mates? Is it able to soar as high, or even dream of reaching new heights? A simple yet resounding answer for these grave questions are a no. A bird stripped from its wings is a prisoner of its own, restricted from its flight, further derogating the value of its existence A wingless bird is very comparable to that of a person who is forcefully restrained from freedom, they can hardly fight for their natural rights and even struggle in living a normal life. Filipinos under the colony of several abusive countries were exactly on this situation.

Living as a Filipino in these timelines were immensely abused, they were slaves, they were treated like dogs, they were oppressed by the grueling dictators, their potentials and rights were suppressed by the race-bias authorities, their voice were never heard because the Filipinos weren't even the main decision makers of their own territory. To say that this was gruesome and horrifying would be an understatement, it was more of hell on Earth. Because of these shameful acts, the uniformity of Filipinos were reinforced, forming rebel alliances that plot to bash the aviary that keeps us from our flight to greatness. At June 12 1898, our brave Filipino heroes managed to free us from the chains of the Spaniards, this date was known to be the Independence Day of the Philippines.


Where would we be right now if we were still under the rule of abusive foreigners? would we be able to go to school? would we be able to live in a fair society? would we be able to express our thoughts and beliefs? are we even allowed to dream at all? The answers to these questions are vague and as the future remains unfathomable we should keep our footings steady, and at all times pledge our loyalty and ourselves to our Motherland.

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 ...

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 ...
