        All of us wants to go anywhere- tour around the world, but behind it, we have reasons why we want to go to that place and often times what we want to do is influenced by our inspiration.

        Everyday, I get inspired to go to school, inspired to study so that I will succeed. These are all because of my family. They are my hero that is why I want to repay them by being a good sister and a good daughter. I considered them as my Modern Day Hero because they serve as my energy and good model everyday. They serve as my guiding star in order to reach my goal/ mission in life. Because of them, I am still here. I am what I am now. My parents always work hard to be able for me and my sister to have a good life. They sustain our needs. They always let me feel how much they love me, and I am thankful for that. My sister always understand me, she helps me, always there for me- in sorrow and in happiness. We are only two, and I really love her.

        I do love my family that's why I tried my best to please them, because my family is my treasure.

P-Noy's SONA ( 2011 )

        The President's SONA is often a hyped event and media- driven. It does not make it false when there is a deliberate attempt to focus attention on one speech, year after year, every last Monday of July in the same plenary hall of Congress.

        President Benigno " Noynoy" Aquino used his anti- wang- wang policy as the focal point of his State of the Nation Address. He said that this has become the symbol of change, not just in our streets, but even in our social mindset. P- Noy then recounted some of the Administration's triumphs. Just like the self- rated hunger went down 5.4 percent, increasing energy investors, metric tons in just a year and generating 1.4 million jobs in 2010. In his 53- minute speech, P- Noy also reiterated the corrupt officials, he said that he does take the fight against corruption personally, as should every Filipino. Because of these things happening, he appointed former Supreme Court Justice Conchita Carpio- Morales as the new Ombudsman. He ended his SONA by encouraging Filipino's to put a stop to negativism and crab mentality.

        The President's SONA is really unique because he delivered it through Filipino language. But still, many were disappointed because he didn't say something about the laborers, about the things that every Filipino wanted to hear. They said that there are things that are more important, that he must prioritize first.

        So, let's just wait and see if one day he can see and do something about it.
