Live and Let Live: My Stand on Self- Righteousness

I'm pretty sure you know what this is. So, here's my next contribution.

I now have a column name: From My Beautiful Mind

This article talks about religion, and how I think some people can just be too judgmental because they follow their religion's standards and practices.

I've met people who are atheists [especially now that I'm working at a language center, where I meet Koreans, Taiwanese and Japanese], but they just live life fearing authorities and have lived half of their lives following the rules. It's just amazing how they do that when they don't believe in an omnipotent One.

These people do not have a God, but I think I respect them more than self-righteous individuals. I just think that it's better to be silent than to keep on protesting and telling others how good your religion and practices are compared to the rest because at the end of the day, no one wins over a debate on religion. We just need to have a little respect for each other.

So Proud of My Little Cousins!

This issue was supposed to come out on a Sunday but because it didn't seem like news if it had been published for more than 2 weeks, the people working for the paper may have thought of publishing it today. Then, I bought 4 copies to be given to my aunts and uncles in Cebu. Plus, a copy for the Mayor of Alegria, Cebu.

I made this article because I was so proud of my cousins although they didn't win first place. The fact that they were able to participate in an event like that made and still makes me so proud of them!

Amidst the Blur and Fuss

So here goes my contribution again. I made a post to stupidly tell you that it's the 2nd to be posted and that I personally like this article. I made if from the heart and I hope that other persons might be inspired as well. 

I don't know. Maybe I'm just so dramatic but I like it when I sincerely get comments such as touching their lives or becoming an inspiration to somebody else, et cetera. 

Do I want to be popular? 

I'll honestly tell you I do, but in a positive way. I'd like to be known as a person who lived her life changing other people's perceptions about life in general. I don't know but if given a chance, I'd like to have a column someday. I don't know what that may be [or what I might just be talking about in that column] but I'm up for anything so long as it's for the common good.

I sound like a politician but I don't want to be one. It runs in the blood but not in my own. Haha. Anyway, enough of this! I just like to share my happiness to all of you.

I might be writing maybe every after 2 weeks or so because I'm a little busy right now. So, grab your Sunday copies of Panay News.

By the way, I also have a friend who writes so well at Panay News. We used to be schoolmates in nursing school before.

His name is Jofer Serapio and you can find more about his 'deepest thoughts' at www.joferserapio.tumblr.com.

Step by Step: Another Contribution

Panay News

I had always wanted to be a part of a writing institution. Even when I was in elementary, I had always wanted to be a part of the Mariale, the official publication of our school. I liked looking at my name published on paper. What I do next is let my grandpa see my published articles because he had always wanted to be a journalist but was not able to due to financial reasons. So, I take on this path hoping that I might make my grandpa VERY VERY proud of me someday.

Simply put, I want to be a part of a local or national news paper, but I'm not telling you that Panay News actually hired me. I was lucky enough to have had my article published as a contribution. 

I was so happy when I knew and I immediately asked my mom to buy me two copies of Panay News. Some of you may say that I'm a little bit over reacting, but I'm very happy. I feel like floating on cloud nine! So here it goes. My contribution. I might continue writing more and I hope they'd like my outputs so I can see my face on paper often. Haha.
