Reflection - Sinigang

 Sinigang

by: Aubrey J. Villaceran


I've learned to be resilient and go over any obstacles that come your way. Everyone has experienced it because it is a part of life, yet some prefer to refer to it as a problem rather than a challenge. I like to refer to it as a challenge since everything we go through in life is there for a reason; perhaps it will teach us something or prepare us for something. The difficulties we'll face are few, and I had faith that once we get through them, delicious success would be waiting for us, and we'd be able to lead tranquil, content lives.

 

I discovered that everybody is just like Sinigang. Each of us is unique because of the variety of traits and qualities that make up who we are. Similar to how different vegetables are added to a Sinigang depending on who would eat it, we have attributes that we do not like and we adjust based on what we believe will improve us. It seems as though we are creating the perfect recipe for ourselves. Finally, we shall all find someone who will adore us for who we are because we exactly match their preferences, like Sinigang with a variety of vegetables.

Reflection - The Visitation of the Gods

  The Visitation of the Gods by: Gilda Cordero-Fernando The short narrative explores the reality of the demise of Filipino idealism in public school administration. It demonstrates the challenges of maintaining motivation and enthusiasm in raising the country's educational standards. It draws attention to the officers' inspections, which serve as judges of the teachers' and schools' ratings for efficacy.   The narrative also demonstrates how the exercise can be used as a tool to discipline disobedience by giving the most challenging and tough assignments to the teachers and students who are least popular. The tale also reveals the competitive mindset of the Filipinos. One's efforts to advance personally and professionally might occasionally be interpreted as a threat to another man's position or authority. It would probably be perceived as "showing off" instead. Unfortunately, the conflicting interests affect more than just the parties directly involve...

Reflection - Footnote to Youth

 Footnote to Youth by: Jose Garcia Villa Footnote to youth focuses on the possibility of teen marriage. This story focuses on the most prevalent issue facing young people today: love. Being in love involves many aspects of life that we should keep in mind. Many people should think twice before getting married young since, given everything that has been happening in our society, we can come to regret it. Marriage is a holy rite that should only be performed by two individuals who have seen their love blossom.   Dodong, who is seventeen, and Teang wanted to be married and start a family at a young age because they were so much in love. Because I thought that Dodong's father understood his thoughts and had consented to the marriage, I could state that Dodong's parents also wed young. Raising their families is a commonality among these three generations. Despite being cliche, I enjoy the narrative and how it ended since it portrays one of the pressing societal concerns facing our ...

Reflection - Dead Stars

  Dead Stars by: Paz Marquez-Benitez It was so enticing to me in a way that aligned with how I value time that I have learned a lesson here. It has appeal because of the figurative depiction of time. It uses metaphorical language in such a way that some individuals can actually understand what it is saying. It portrays Alfredo Salazar's situation, where he was an elderly man yet engaged to be married. Don Julian, Alfredo's father, said it as they were speaking with Carmen, Alfredo's sister.   This tale teaches us the value of time and the repercussions of wasting it. Additionally, it teaches us that time is more valuable than anything else in the world. In the end, time itself will be used to accumulate memories and experiences that will shape human personality for all of time.
