how blasé so many young people are over the declaration of Martial Law down south.
When Ondoy ravaged our country, tumblr was literally inundated with posts about it. It seemed as if every one with photoshop on their computer was in a race with every other user on who could make the most number of cute posters with images of floods plastered all over them.
Now with this event that has the potential to harm exponentially more people than any storm upon our shores ever could, so many remain unaffected. It seems there are those who don’t realize how much bigger the real world is compared to their tiny sheltered bubble.
In the years to come, let them be the ones to explain to their children why did nothing when their country needed them most.
Apathy is nothing else but the tacit approval for the status quo.
5 hours agononsense ang mga tunay na maganda. Kung maganda ka, maganda ka. Tapos ang usapan.
Pag ang tao nag sabi lang ng particular na aspeto na maganda sayo, they’re being polite and trying to be all nice and positive. A kind way of saying “oh but hey! look see! because of your awesome (insert characteristic here) , you’re not entirely off-putting and unattractive.”
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Their intentions are good after all.
Just don’t let it get to your head, always stay humble. Wag ka mayabang at wag ka feeling. Consolation prize lang un. Subjective ang pagiging first based sa quality ng competition. To put it another way, everyone gets a medal at the special olympics.

I have a giant (1 KG) bag of M&M’s. It’s the last survivor of the many many care packages I received after Ondoy made me very poor.
Should I open it now or wait for a special occasion?
23 hours agoSince alot of people are posting theirs, sasali ako. :)
I haven’t posted Spaceporn in awhile so here’s the Iris Nebula. That image is not an artist’s rendering, it’s an actual photo taken by the Hubble Telescope.
Wow.
