Just Thinking Aloud

It's already 1:53AM and yet I'm not yet asleep. I'm having a hard time sleeping because of all the problems that I must face tomorrow - Calculus exam, Lab reports, and reportings. Aside from those things, another issue bothering me right now is the State of the Nation Address that is going to be delivered tomorrow by PGMA. I'm quite curious with what the SONA will be this year.

Being a teenager, I'm not usually interested with such things. We are usually more concerned on activities being a teenager such as playing DOTA, online games, bar hopping, malling, and all other teenage stuff and activities and we tend to spend our time more on our peers or "barkadas". We, the Filipino youth usually don't give a damn to the present situation of our country. I would usually hear from young adults the expression - "wala nang pagasa ang pilipinas, magaabroad na lng ako!(the Philippines doesn't have any hope, I'm just gonna work and live abroad!"). Even with all these mentalities in our society somehow I realized that as a future adult citizen of our nation being a teenager is not a hindrance in becoming a "fully functional" and "beneficial" citizen of the Philippines. We, the Filipino Youth, can do something for our country despite our age and our position. There are a lot of things we could do for our country.(Note: I'm gonna write something about many simple things that we could do)

If we just open our eyes to the reality. Everything you see in this world is superficial. Don't let yourself be blinded by the riches of other nations. Don't let yourself be fooled by what you see on TV. Be critical. Don't be selfish. Observe, see for yourself. There is hope I tell you. If you think there's none then you're only thinking for the benefit of yourself.

I know I could do something for my country. Sharing my thoughts and insights on this blog is just one and it's just a small task and I hope the Filipino Youth could learn from this blog. I'm not only expecting the youth to learn I'm also expecting that everything good here will be inculcated to the young minds that will shape our country's future.

Filipino Youth speak up.. Share your thoughts and insights on this blog.. I will be grateful with your comments and criticisms..

Thank You..
