Davao City is in Mindanao and it’s a region that gets to experience typhoons. But never as strong as the ones that affect the region of Luzon who is within the typhoon belt.
Rains fall and areas become flooded. How heavy the rain fell and how flooded the areas became during the typhoon that struck Davao however was something that they have never experienced. Thus, they weren’t really prepared for the worst to come.
Now that the tragedy has passed, many have lost the possessions they’ve worked hard to have and worst, they have lost the ones they love.
I mourn with those who have lost all and I hope and pray that they eventually get to pick up what’s left of what they have. Everyone should pitch in a hand to help, even in the smallest gestures make a big difference.

Life is one big struggle. Whoever says otherwise is wrong or just haven’t lived.
For every little thing you do, you have to make a decision. Life is full of problems simply waiting to be solved. You may already know this but it’s something that simply needs to be said over and over again.
When you wake up, you struggle to decide what to eat or whether to eat breakfast at all. Waking up in the first place is already a struggle in itself because you have to decide whether you want to wake up or to continue sleeping.
There are a lot of choices to be made. To live is to struggle.

There are just some things in this lifetime that are better left in the dark. Can we really help it though?
People say that curiosity killed the cat but cats have nine lives. I take this expression to mean that curiosity has killed the cat over and over again and it never died. We never really learn when not to sate our curiosity when we’re really better off not knowing.
Today I got curious why they would ever produce a part 2 of the Hangover movie. I was curious how it would turn out so I watched it. And let me tell you that I could have gone on life better without having watched the film.
Some things are just too much for us to know. And it could be some secret that could either save or condemn the world.

Haven’t you ever wondered why school never taught us how to speak?
I mean yes, we were taught words. How to communicate. How to use them. But we were never really taught how to effectively use words to express our thoughts clearly and eloquently.
You may contradict my statement but it’s true. The first thing we learn as a child is how to speak yet even in school no one teaches us how to think correctly.
I’m sure that many of you contradict yourself most of the time. Personally I envy those who can organize their thoughts eloquently. I only wished that school also taught us how to think and communicate clearly.

I couldn’t help but feel bad for the people living around the area where the massive amount of fish carcasses are, sayang yung home speakers.
Apart from the fact that fishing industry in the area has been greatly affected, the people living around it have to suffer with the smell. Reportedly, the smell of dead fish could cause several health discomforts. It could trigger asthma and could cause skin itching.
Although there is the option of evacuation, I doubt that many of them will have somewhere else to go. It looked like most of the residents around the area have lived there all their lives.
I can only hope and pray that things will get better.

It’s nice to indulge in relaxation sometimes and temporarily forget about all the stressful things in life.
Oftentimes there’s just too much to think about. In order to survive in this world, if you’re living alone, you have to worry about the following things: having a job, paying bills, paying obligatory dues to society/government, food budget, clothing budget, and if you have a family, family budget.
The biggest stress of all is maintaining all these things each and everyday for the rest of your life.
Sometimes a temporary sanctuary to temporarily forget all these worries is a nice reprieve from life. Try some time to visit anxiety drug treatment centers.

Everyone has dreams and not everyone gets to succeed in realizing that dream. Recently however, I’ve had the chance to watch Justin Bieber’s movie, Never Say Never.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a big fan of his. I was however, very much intrigued by the fact that they’ve made a movie about him. I was expecting it to be dull; just your typical sensationalized pop star movie. It turned out I was wrong.
The movie was actually quite inspiring. Justin Bieber’s road to fame wasn’t actually an instant one. He worked really hard on it. He was just a kid who dreamt big. But because he was willing to work for it, he succeeded.
One of the biggest factors that can help you realize your dream is believing in yourself. And if you do, then there’s no stopping you from succeeding.

Fiction to me is just one of the most amazing thing that the human race has ever indulged in. To write fiction, to read fiction, and to experience the worlds that fiction can weave is just an irreplaceable experience.
With fiction comes no boundaries; everything that you can think of or have ever imagined is fair game. There can be wizards and witches; the land of magic. Superheroes who can fly, become invisible, and all the ever impossible powers that these fictional characters can posses. Myths of history that come to life in films.
Whether in a book or in a movie, the land of fiction is certainly one world that I would forever like to indulge in, you know the one with golden hot tub covers. It provides a temporary sanctuary for people to forget the stress in life for a moment and enjoy a happy world.

Recently, I’ve read a book given to me as a gift last Christmas. Totally different from what I love like medical stories that has something to do with medical scrubs. It was a book written by Kresley Cole and for me, it was really just refreshing.
To read biographies and real life stories is amazing because you get to know and experience another person’s life and even perhaps learn a thing or two from their past mistakes. But to read literary fiction is simply mind blowing. Instead of appreciating a person’s story, you get to experience a whole different world where things that we’ve only heard existed on myths.
Kresley Cole’s book is a wonderful romance book that is also imbued with fantastic adventure and action. It’s a world of Norse mythology that is combined with the modern world and it was really a fantastic read.

It is generally believed that women are the most prone to experience mood swings because of the monthly cramps that they get to experience. I however have experienced first hand proof that men are just as equally prone to suffer mood swings as women are. They love nike inflict wrestling shoes
There are a lot of things that can certainly cause one person to experience a mood swing. But the most common cause is being physically distressed or uncomfortable.
You might not be consciously aware that you are physically distressed, but mood swings are actually signals that the body sends to the brain to make you aware that you have distressed it.
Notice how a person tends to be grouchy for the entire day if he/she did not get enough sleep on the night before.
The best remedy for avoiding mood swings is to take proper care of your body. Although you may feel fine, it finds other ways of protesting like giving you mood swings
