Blue or Green?

It’s not about colors. Neither is it a choice between Ateneo De Manila University and De La Salle University; Globe or Smart nor what-have-you. However, if you’re smart enough, you’d find ways to keep the globe blue and green. And as smart as the Green Archers are, they probably understand the difference between bow shooting an eagle as to that of ‘ball shooting’ against a Blue Eagle. How they settle their rivalry should be limited to that of the latter…
Rightfully, this is about the green movement that will keep the blue flowing so to speak. Green represents nature whereas blue represents the body of water that comprises 3/4th‘s of the globe. There is a perfect reason as to why the ratio between the Earth’s land and water.
Nowadays, when we say “think green”, we think of the environment. Thinking of it though varies from just limiting it to thoughts as doing something about it would be significant. It means being considerate of its sustenance and quite certain ours.
Given a choice, I’d go green. It would be for everybody including that of “blue’s” sake. No need for an elaboration as to how one can go as green. Also, it’s how “blue” can sustain its affluence for “green’s” nourishment. Nevertheless, we don’t want to feel blue just because we lack the natural resources for a refreshing existence.

Stop The Hate

And spread the love... I could have used “Spread The Love” for a title and the “stop the hate” for an onset instead... However, nowadays, a more intriguing issue leaning on negativity stirs a more engaging traction; when subject is abject. “Vilify and it goes viral; praise and it (apparently) goes to waste...” Also, I could have just merged the two as it should be; given that when you stop the hate, it should correspond with spreading the love. But then, what’s rampant along today’s society is how people would rather pay attention to other people’s “negative attributes” to conjure up prodding against those being maligned instead of focusing on (their) fine qualities that merit compliments. For some, they forego of the possibility of being labeled as “humble brags” which similarly get misinterpreted (probably out of envy) and turn into critical imputations from others. Thus, they turn into the opposite as critics instead and express something else against anyone/thing from

Rain, Rain, Go Away. Walang Pasok Anyway

“Walang pasok” might as well be for “wala ng (puma)pasok na pag-unawa” among us... Suspension of classes during this rainy/typhoon season here in Baguio and Benguet has been a constant issue. Both are under separate government units. Thus, its respective local government’s discretion on such weather-concerning decision is rather sought, apparently for all the “authority and liability” aspect’s worth. One major concern however is that, there seems to be a discrepancy on the two governing bodies’ jurisdictions along the inclement weather’s path (and radius), geographically within a common “area of responsibility” which raises these concerns: Baguio is in Benguet What if a student happens to be a resident of, say, La Trinidad but studies in Baguio or vice versa... Do we have to rely (every time) on their discretion? How about considerations leaning towards common sense which could affect one’s academic performance (isn’t that ironic) ... will it be taken against the stud

Uncles and Aunties of Baguio: Who We Are is Who We Were

While it’s true that it was patterned from, as well as inspired by the far more reaching “Titos and Titas of Manila” Facebook group which apparently has been conceptualized from its recently implied premise, “ Uncles and Aunties of Baguio “ on the other hand was initially thought of and created for the purpose of a more nonchalant acceptance given its commonplace exclusivity other than reliving the good old times as an acknowledgment of the difference from any other generation. Come to think of it, the connotation behind “Tito/Tita of (what place) ” as currently referred to doesn’t actually have “that sweet” forethought. It’s almost leaning towards “that sourness” caught between “nagmumurang kamatis” and being “may asim pa” ... Imagine (say) one in his 40s at a party among a bunch most likely half his age “leveling” with the young ones still yet courteously addressed as “Tito” (not to mention, that’s with ”po” and ”opo” )... However, not to appear defensive and at the same ti
