Labanan ng Diskriminasyon (ENGLISH: Fighting Discrimination)

Source: https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/577727458445482310/

        In today's society, we are faced with the so-called "Discrimination". People to other people for different looks, feelings of others, and work of others. Feeling the negativity thrown by other people, then they perish and have no motivation to do the things they can do. Discrimination does not end, it has no end. But other people are fighting through discrimination and trying to get rid of it. Even when people are fighting for what is right, they are still discriminated against in the eyes of society. Which is why it has to stop because there are people who have the ability to do things, even with the flaws they notice.

        Now, there are many different ways to prevent or fully stop discrimination from our society. The most important thing to stop discrimination is by showing respect towards other people, especially in a working or crowded environment. People may look different and may stand out in a workplace or in a crowded place, but showing those kinds of people the respect they need, then they wouldn't be thinking of negative things while working or doing their tasks and accomplishing their goals in life. If people are still being discriminated by other people, then they should seek help and support to know that their goals are more important to think about.

        Another way of avoiding discrimination is the way we speak to other people. Of course, people are often talking about different topics, but try to avoid discussing about topics that can be offensive towards different culture or different races. In the way we talk about things also affects our way of showing respect to those people, if we are not being careful. If you don't want to offend people, then don't bring up topics that does so.

      And lastly, showing yourself that you are really different and knowing that everybody else is also different. People are discriminating other people, but those kinds of people are also discriminating those who are trying to discriminate others. We are different in who we are and there is no need to discriminate others if you are already being discriminated. Knowing this, will create a big picture and it will overcome the fear and negative thoughts that we are different and not the same.

  Even with these ways of avoiding and stopping discrimination, there are still ways that it would be coming back within society. People have their own reasons to discriminate by other people, but why are they even doing it in the first place? Were they told by adults that they should be saying these things to other people of different culture and race? Because that usually the reason behind the younger generation have a tendency to discriminate people of different looks, race and culture. But with time and thinking about it, we all know that we are the same yet so different. We may have our flaws, but we are all children of God and he does not want anyone to feel down with how they look and act, they are who they are.

Labanan ang Diskriminasyon

        Sa lipunan ngayon, nahaharap tayo sa tinatawag na "Diskriminasyon". Ang mga tao sa ibang tao para sa iba't ibang hitsura, pakiramdam ng iba, at pagtatrabaho ng iba. Sa pakiramdam ng negatibiti na itinapon ng ibang tao, pagkatapos ay mapahamak sila at walang pagganyak na gawin ang mga bagay na kaya nilang gawin. Ang diskriminasyon ay hindi nagtatapos, wala itong katapusan. Ngunit ang ibang mga tao ay nakikipaglaban sa pamamagitan ng diskriminasyon at sinisikap na mawala ito. Kahit na ang mga tao ay nakikipaglaban para sa kung ano ang tama, dinidiskriminasyon pa rin sila sa paningin ng lipunan. Alin ang dahilan kung bakit kailangang ihinto dahil may mga tao na may kakayahang gumawa ng mga bagay, kahit na sa kanilang napansin na mga bahid.

        Ngayon, maraming iba't ibang mga paraan upang maiwasan o ganap na ihinto ang diskriminasyon mula sa ating lipunan. Ang pinakamahalagang bagay upang ihinto ang diskriminasyon ay sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng paggalang sa ibang tao, lalo na sa isang nagtatrabaho o masikip na kapaligiran. Ang mga tao ay maaaring magmukhang kakaiba at maaaring makilala sa isang lugar ng trabaho o sa isang masikip na lugar, ngunit ipinapakita sa mga uri ng mga tao ang paggalang na kailangan nila, kung gayon hindi nila iisipin ang mga negatibong bagay habang nagtatrabaho o ginagawa ang kanilang mga gawain at ginampanan ang kanilang mga layunin sa buhay . Kung ang mga tao ay dinidiskriminahan pa ng ibang mga tao, dapat silang humingi ng tulong at suporta upang malaman na ang kanilang mga layunin ay mas mahalagang pag-isipan.

        Ang isa pang paraan ng pag-iwas sa diskriminasyon ay ang paraan ng pagsasalita natin sa ibang tao. Siyempre, madalas na pinag-uusapan ng mga tao ang iba't ibang mga paksa, ngunit subukang iwasang talakayin ang tungkol sa mga paksa na maaaring makasakit sa iba`t ibang kultura o iba`t ibang lahi. Sa paraan ng pag-uusap tungkol sa mga bagay ay nakakaapekto rin sa ating paraan ng pagpapakita ng respeto sa mga taong iyon, kung hindi tayo nag-iingat. Kung hindi mo nais na mapahamak ang mga tao, pagkatapos ay huwag maglabas ng mga paksang ginagawa ito.

     At panghuli, ipinapakita sa iyong sarili na ikaw ay talagang naiiba at alam na ang lahat ay iba rin. Ang mga tao ay nakikilala ang iba pang mga tao, ngunit ang mga uri ng mga tao ay din ang diskriminasyon sa mga taong sumusubok na makilala ang iba. Magkakaiba kami sa kung sino kami at hindi na kailangan na makilala ang iba kung ikaw ay nai-diskriminasyon na. Ang pagkakaalam nito, lilikha ng isang malaking larawan at malalampasan nito ang takot at negatibong kaisipan na magkakaiba tayo at hindi magkapareho.

        Kahit na sa mga ganitong paraan ng pag-iwas at pagtigil sa diskriminasyon, may mga paraan pa rin na babalik ito sa loob ng lipunan. Ang mga tao ay may kani-kanilang mga kadahilanan upang makilala ang ibang tao, ngunit bakit pa nila ginagawa ito sa una? Sinabi ba sa kanila ng mga may sapat na gulang na dapat nilang sabihin ang mga bagay na ito sa ibang mga tao na may iba't ibang kultura at lahi? Sapagkat kadalasan iyon ang dahilan sa likod ng nakababatang henerasyon ay may kaugaliang makilala ang mga tao ng iba't ibang hitsura, lahi at kultura. Ngunit sa oras at pag-iisip tungkol dito, alam nating lahat na pareho tayo ngunit magkakaiba. Maaari tayong magkaroon ng ating mga kapintasan, ngunit lahat tayo ay mga anak ng Diyos at hindi niya nais na kahit sino man ay mapahamak sa kanilang hitsura at pagkilos, sila ang mga ito.

Growing Families #ASIANISTASCONNECTEDBYHEART

 #ASIANISTASCONNECTEDBYHEART

        Family is what brings us all together and keeps on growing as the years go by. We stick together and always together, forever and ever, until the day we reach the skies of heaven. Of course, This is what I really feel about this picture, especially the part of where my family is growing and becoming a part in our lives to have. This was a family portrait of my 2nd older sister's wedding with her husband, also known as my brother-in-law.

        The reason why I have this picture is because it means a lot to me and my sister to have a family of her own, along with my niece. This means that part of my family is growing and starting new lives with the ones that they love. Now, my sister is now living in Sweden with my brother-in-law and niece, and I am missing her, but she wouldn't leave our side because she is always there for us, even if she is not physically with us.

Fashion Is Art!


        Fashion is very popular, around the world. They can be worn with different clothing and different styles. It is an aesthetic to many people, shows an expression of self-confidence to the people who are wearing them, and it also shows a beauty of art. However, when it comes to fashion, we can't forget about the fashion designing.

        Fashion designing is an aesthetic, design, and form of a piece of clothing. It is what gives fashion a a sense of beauty and people will enjoy wearing them. People who do fashion designing need inspiration to make their designs come to life and goes well with certain aesthetics that pleases the designer and maker of the outfit.


        My design is rather simple yet aesthetically-pleasing that meets the eye. I enjoy the looks of galaxy and starry night aesthetics. When I look at them, they always form beautiful color shades of blue and purple, they can be seen within painting and other forms of medium, from what I have been seeing a lot. That is the kind of aesthetic I have went with for my design. A lot of inspiration of different galaxy-themed clothing and artworks has come to mind when coming up with this kind of design.

        Why did I choose a galaxy aesthetic? Because the galaxy is a big, empty space that has yet to been by many. They provide a sense of mystery and learning to be done. And when there is a big, empty space, it creates a big canvas for designers and artists alike.

Ang Kamalayan ng Diskriminasyon


Angel Down by Lady Gaga

I confess I am lost
In the age of the social
On our knees, take a test
To be lovin' and grateful

Shots were fired on the street
By the church where we used to meet
Angel down, angel down
But the people just stood around

I'm a believer, it's a trial
Foolish and weaker, oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down
I'm a believer, it's chaos
Where are our leaders? Oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down

Doesn't everyone belong
In the arms of the sacred?
Why do we pretend we're wrong?
Has our young courage faded?

Shots were fired on the street
By the church where we used to meet
Angel down, angel down
Why do people just stand around?

I'm a believer, it's a trial
Foolish and weaker, oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down
I'm a believer, it's chaos
Where are our leaders? Oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

I'm a believer, it's a trial
Foolish and weaker, oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down
I'm a believer, it's chaos
Where are our leaders? Oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down

Save that angel
Catch that angel
Save that angel
Catch that angel
Save that angel
Catch that angel
Save that angel
Catch that angel
Catch that angel

P.S. "Doesn't everyone belong In the arms of the sacred?

Sa lipunan ngayon, ang mga tao ay kilala sa diskriminasyon sa ibang mga tao sa pagiging kaiba sa kanilang sarili. Ngunit nang pakinggan ko ang kantang iyon at napagtanto na nilikha tayo ng Diyos upang maipanganak sa mundong ito, mayroon man tayong mga kapintasan o wala. Ang dahilan kung bakit pinili ko ang linyang iyon sa kanta ay dahil bakit dinidiskrimina ng mga tao ang ibang tao dahil lamang sa pagiging iba? Hindi ba tayo pareho lang at walang perpekto? Bakit ang mga tao ay nakikilala pa rin ang iba kung pareho sila? Naniniwala ako na lahat tayo ay pareho at magkakasama tayo sa Diyos mula noong binigyan niya tayo ng buhay sa mundong ito, mayroon man tayong mga kapintasan o wala.

Lucio San Pedro: His Filipino Composer Life in a Nutshell

    Music is for everyone and listened to by many. We listen to music for many reasons, but the most common reasons are trying to get away from negative problems that are happening in negative parts of the world, controlling our own moods and emotions, relieving the stress that we feel from doing something for such a long time, and many more. However, there are different groups with their own preference of music that they want to listen to because there are different types of music. Which is why, there are different composers that play different kinds of music.

    A composer is someone who creates music with the use of any instrument to their liking, hoping to create a melody and a good rhythm that they can make a tune out of and be heard by many. Basically, they are known as the authors of music, in those terms. Now, there are many different composers, but I have chosen one Filipino Contemporary Composer. They are known for the musical style of symphonic music, band, vocal, choral, music-theater, chamber, and movie music. He goes by the name Lucio San Pedro.

    Lucio San Pedro is not only a Filipino Composer, but he is also a teacher. He came from a family where the family line are known for their musical roots and San Pedro began his time with music at an early age.

    Shown below is a presentation of Lucio San Pedro, of what his life was in a nutshell, through this graphic organizer:

Created by Hanna Joan H. Alusin (a.k.a ME!)

    With someone like Lucio San Pedro, there are those who are aspiring to become composers themselves and make their own music that would make everyone feel in peace and relieved, even if they are in a good or a bad mood. With their own kind of music, the listeners would be able to enjoy it for entertainment and relief, just like what Lucio San Pedro did with his compositions that would touch the hearts and souls of Filipinos that listen to his music.
