Finding OK in BrOKen: 3-Minute Blogs for Change

What would you feel if the world sees you in a distinct way? Some of you may take it positively but how if they see you whom a person does not deserve to accompany and to be treated respectfully, what would you do? Bullying and Discrimination are now a vast and uncontrollable crime in our world's new era. History to present these are happening, wherein, in our history women are being discriminated by men through treating them just women of their lives, for pleasures and power. And also people with special disabilities are not just being bullied or discriminated but they are being condemned to die. In this new era, the lawmaking bodies proclaimed a law stating the right of every individual to avoid discrimination and bullying against one another but then the implementation of these laws is not that strong. From now, people are freely discriminating and bullying someone through their gender (especially the LGBTQ+ community), physical disabilities, and status in life, religi...

Photography is not just taking pictures for the purpose of recreation or to have something we post on our social media accounts. As PicsArt implies ”Picture is Art” an art that a photographer can create from any genre, still life, street photography, documentary, landscape, nude, portrait, using a particular style–point of view, choice of lens, type of lighting, color or black and white for deeper purposes. The world is being polluted by photographs, as we surf the internet we see a different kinds of pictures for different purposes. Some are for the advertisement of any services and products, some are just for fun- sharing pictures of what they do every day, sharing pictures showing their cool body and it is a fact that they use also photographs to kill someone’s image, bullying and to blackmail, and for porn. I believe that there is a deeper essence of having photography in our lives, I believe that Heavenly Father gave us this for the purpose of sharing the beauty of li...

September 23, I worked with the missionaries to share the Gospel with my best friend's family, the experience is so good… while the elders are teaching, my best friend's mom asked a question that really caught my feelings and attention, the question goes like exactly the title of this article.  I really see and feel the interest of this mother to attend the church with her whole family and how I wish that my parents have also this kind of mindset. While they are discussing I was just smiling and thinking deeply for an answer to that question and it came to my knowledge that I must be the one or the tool so that my family will attend the church with me. My family status is complicated I don’t even know if we are family, I said that because I define family as a group of people who are living together progressively with love, respect, humility, and spiritually. So this is indeed a big challenge for me, I am just a teenager and the third child of the family but here I am tryi...

Everyone can teach, everyone is being called to teach but then just a few of us are chosen. What are your qualities then or mark as a teacher or formally future teacher for you to say that you are the chosen one for the job? What can you contribute to the teaching industry to help the students pursue their study? Or what can you sow in this industry so that people has something to reap? To be a teacher is somewhat indurated because this is next to parenthood which is very crucial responsibility wherein you are going to raise not just one but many. As a student in almost thirteen years, I observed that there is a two kind of a teacher; the teacher who loves their designated subjects to teach and a teacher who loves her/his students. Let’s talk about the two, the first mentioned loves a perfect class a perfect student, he/she likes that everyone of the class must understand the topics given by him/her and if they don’t they are being scolded physically, being embarrassed a...

Have you met a valiant leader? Since then Duterte when he’s still one of the candidates for the presidency and now he is already the president, his face is every day on media like an advertisement because of the way he expresses himself; a brutal, inhumane way of talking but I like it how he straight things out. I am wondering why Duterte wins the race for the presidency with a total vote of 15 million+ besides rumors and judgments. Because of that I browse the internet about him and I read a good article by an OFW Filipina, she wrote that Davao City is one of the peaceful cities worldwide because of the leadership of Mr. Rudy Duterte. She describes Duterte as a simple man wearing a polo shirt, slacks and leather shoes navigating the city around without noticing that it was him. He doesn't want just to stay in his office doing paper works, he stands fearless and walks manful to stave off crimes. And it is one of the trivia that only Davao City and the United State...

I feel grateful in my inner core to be your speaker for the second time. First of all, I wanna greet all of you a good morning! The topic that was given to me by the president, is about “How attending the sacrament every Sunday helped you in your daily life?” To start my talk let me share with you some chapters of mine; when I was in first and second-year high school I sometimes go to church if I feel too and if someone invites me. I love reading books one is the Bible, I sometimes argue with my friends about the Bible and about their beliefs and my understanding until such time they question me; how could you say that you don’t even attend Sunday services? And then they invited me to come to attend with us to understand the words of God. I tried to attend the church, it was good and yeah I can say that the church helped me but there is something missing that my heart is searching for. At first, the pulling force of the church was good but when I’ve gone through it the force was ...
