Post-It Reaction: The State Of The Nation Address 2018

The president has released another bombardment of statements in the form of the SONA, The State of The Nation Address. Once again, I am here to share my thoughts and opinions on what our dear president has said during the said event. There are a lot of good points that he has said and I would just like to give a reaction. The biggest statement that he has said that everyone is talking about is "Your concern is human rights, my concern is human lives." Now, what he said was right and wrong. Right in the sense that he actually cares about human lives but wrong in the sense that he doesn't care about human rights. He needs to focus on these both, as him actually not giving a damn about human rights is actually damaging his and the country's reputation. The most ear-catching moment was when I heard that he wants to create a new department, called the Department of Disaster Management, which is for me, an amazing idea. Think of this, a department that actuallt helps out ...

Dreams Maketh Futures

Dreams. These are the things we hope to achieve, the person as we hope to become. These dreams of ours are what drive us to achieve what we want in life. Dreams are kinda like the schematics, the paths, the guides that can make our futures brighter. Your dreams can make your future.

Should The New Year Change You?

"New Year, New Me." A trend (I like to call it a trend) that circulates the world, the web; basically everywhere whenever the start of a new year comes around. People say that they'll change a part of themselves, but I've noticed that only some people do that change. This is the equivalent of the New Year's Resolution. The only difference of this and the NYR is that a miniscule amount of people keep their "New Year, New Me" promises, while none actually complete their Resolution. I don't hate on this trend, but it's kinda just an excuse for someone to do something productive or to be productive and responsible in general. Now, about my title. Should we only let the New Year change us? Is the New Year the only time we can change ourselves? Why not change yourself now, instead of waiting for the new year to come? I'm sure that the long time frame of waiting will be more than enough for you to change yourself. Again, not saying that I hate N...
