Pati ba naman sa rice may CORRUPTION pa rin?!

As a Filipino, I know that there is a problem with the production of rice in our country. What I don't understand is, how can an agricultural country be even experiencing rice shortage? Do we not plan enough for our future? Do we always think about what's for today?" and not "what's for tomorrow?"

(Taking that issue aside) Okay, let's say that we already have rice shortage because we couldn't do anything about it.
The government issued NFA rice to the barangays for it to be easily sold at a lower price. (Right?) How come there isn't any store here selling for the said NFA rice issued by the government? Is it not for the less fortunate people, for them to buy rice at a lower price? Bakit po ang hindi naman naghihirap ang nakikinabang sa NFA rice na dapat talaga sa mahihirap. Hindi ko po sinasabing ang NFA rice ay issued for the poor only, sinasabi ko lang po na kung sana nasusunod yung talagang programa noong NFA rice maayos sana ang takbo ng lahat. Dito po sa barangay namin ay may issuance din po ng NFA rice pero hindi po sila nagtitinda sa barangay. Take a guess kung saan napupunta yung mga bigas.
If you thought about the barangay staff, then you got the right answer.
Ang ginagawa po nila ay binebenta po nila yung NFA rice sa mga sari-sari store. (of course they sell it there with interest) Bakit po yung talagang nangangailangan ang hindi nakikinabang sa mga ganitong programa ng gobyerno?
I personally don't think that this isn't right. Knowing the people of the Philippines today, we are very self-centered people.We always think about our benefits and not the benefits of others.

As we can see, corruption doesn't only happen in the higher parts of our government. So before we start naming people who we think are corrupt, let's start with thinking about ourselves first. If we are such sinless people, then we may accuse but since we have our own sins that we committed, I don't think we have even the right to accuse. (Please don't tell me about us having freedom of speech)

Am I supposed to be happy?

Last year I joined this text messaging clan. Of course at first it was boring because I don't know anyone there with my cousin as an exception. (we seem to do everything together) But as the time passed by, I became close to the other members of this clan. I liked sending them group messages just to let them all know what I'm doing at that moment.

These past few weeks after the last day of classes, I realized that it became part of my routine and completely ruined my schedule. My grades have gotten lower and I wasted so much money. Yesterday I wanted to quit that text messaging clan and live a normal life just like what I had before. So I started my plan. I went to the store loaded up my sim for a one-day-text-and-call load. I just wanted it for one day because all I'm going to do is send them all a message that I wanted to quit the clan for no reason whatsoever. Then I started sending them all my message. For one whole night I had peace and I was actually celebrating because finally I've quitted it.

The next morning someone called me on my cell and asked me if I was new to the clan. I was shocked because I just quitted that clan last night. So I told the caller that I actually was a new former member of the clan. So he said sorry and we chatted for a while then we hung up.

Later on the day I was text messaged by the co-founder of this so-called clan. I immediately replied and said,"You must have sent me a wrong message because I just quitted this clan." Then after that another message popped up and it contained the message that he doesn't want me to quit. So I asked for a reason. His reply was like no I'm not allowing you to quit. Then I said to myself," Should I be happy because someone actually didn't want me to go yet? or should I feel bad because there's still this clan that I feel I'm obliged to text everyday?

Up to now, I still don't know if I'm gonna be happy or sad but I don't feel attached to this clan anymore. I think I'll just wait for the perfect moment and I will cut my ties with it.

dancing is my hobby

Unfortunately I was one of the chosen people to dance on my cousin's debut celebration. I don't know if I'm gonna mess it up good or it would actually look nice. Yep! Dancing is my hobby but hobbies don't really mean that they're talents. Right?

Anyway, I have this huge responsibility of not to mess up my cousin's 18th birthday party because it is also partly a celebration of mine. Only more attention is drawn to her and I couldn't invite my friends over because it's her party. It's not like I don't want to be in that party, it's just that many things have come up unexpectedly because of it. For those issues, you don't want to ask me about it.

we lack love...

Well, I don't know if you feel the same way as I do. I'm a 16-year-old blogger but I think that we lack love for our country. We aren't proud to tell our nationality, we don't think our country has hope, and we focus on our liabilities. What makes you think that we're going to survive with such behavior?

Do we honestly believe that there is hope for people who do not have hope?

I personally believe that HOPE is for the people who believe. Anyway, I find it hard to believe that what was once a great country became a slave of other foreign lands. I know that at some point in time we will have our downfalls, but don't you think that we've been down here too long and we can't manage to climb our way up just like we should?


We tend to blame others for our problems. We seem to complain about everything. Whenever we see litter scattered everywhere, we blame the government about not doing anything for the environment, when we see poor people begging on the streets, we blame again the government because they don't do anything about poverty, when we see the roads all cracking up because of poor maintenance, we blame the government because we don't see where our taxes go but did it ever occur to us to blame ourselves for not being disciplined citizens of our land? Did we ever think about what good we might be for our country? Did we ever think about the help we could bring to our country? Do we think that we deserve to be successful when all we think about is "what's in it for me?"? Our selfishness brings us down.

I'm not taking sides because I know that both the government and us, its people, have our own faults that we have to consider.

There's this other issue that hurts my feelings as a Filipino citizen. Remember when all the graduating high school students are supposed to take NCAE? Most of the students who took it were advised to take vocational courses instead of pursuing their dreams so as to save money for the parents. I don't think that idea is good. I have nothing against vocational graduates but the act of hindering the young people to pursue their dreams is just like giving them hope and when they come for it you take it all away.

Another thing, why do we prefer to work abroad when we could work for our country? We need many teachers here and yet we prefer to work for others. We need doctors, yet they're gone because they've become nurses already. Why do we become slaves of money? Do we not get enough?

Do we not like to think about what we would be 5 years from now rather than what do we need to fix 5 years from now?

I'm me, and you're you... right?

I'm kinda new here so my first post is this. Well recently I wanted to have a blog for a change (Because I'm the type who still writes "Dear Diary, blah blah blah" he he). Anyway, I wanted to share my thoughts and maybe, just maybe, I might be of any help to others.

Well I just dropped in to tell my blog about that. (Oh Minnie? hehe) Well I forgot to tell my future readers (if there's gonna be any) that my blog would contain inside jokes that you might not understand such as that Minnie-thing there. That's all for now.
