A good vacation is something you can reward yourself after stressful days in work and in school or after working hard and achieving your goals.

A Dream That Landed

By: Fiona Carusca

I was dreaming to work up in the sky,

Flying so high as high as an airplane.

But I realized I dreamt way too high,

All those hopes crashed and felt a million pain.

I've always wanted to wear that white shirt,

Launch a plane and let it dance in the air.

But mom sees me in whitest white scrub suit,

Attending tons of patients, giving care.

Up up and away is my little dream,

But then I guess that it will never be.

Seeing and enjoying those little beam,

All the bright places

A story about two broken souls wandering around in search of happiness. This movie talks about how people with the brightest smiles carry the heaviest of burdens. How they try so hard to fix other people, yet they can't even fix themselves. They try to hide in their masks, the reality about who they really are. Because for them, being vulnerable makes them weak, makes them lose control of who they really are. It's just sad, that the people close to you doesn't even recognize that you are suffering. Sometimes when we are surrounded by our loved ones, we feel the loneliest.

This movie showed what society can do to a person just because he's not ordinary. When we try to be ourselves, we get judged and criticized for allowing our inner self to be exposed. We are so scared to be labeled as the freak of society. That's why we try so hard to be part of what's common to avoid the criticism of others. May this movie teach everyone a lesson about the effects of our own actions and that mental health is not a joke that we should be taking lightly.

Altruism is the unselfish acts of prioritizing the well-being of others and disregarding the well-being of oneself without the expectations of acquiring something in return. 

“I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.” (Khalil Gibran)

Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet uses metaphor and poetry to describe a spiritual journey towards wisdom and moral life. In this short line, Gibran describes the process of learning to be more compassionate through altruism. 

Initially, when he awakened, Gibran was not sure why he must serve; he just knew that it was his duty. When he began to serve life altruistically, it became his greatest source of happiness and contentment. His act of altruism turned into a kind of enlightened self-interest, but Gibran arrived at the belief only because he practiced altruism: altruism is not something that he can learn from books or through rational calculations. He had to transform himself through service before he can live by enlightened self-interest.

My parents have always reminded me to be kind with everyone even when they cannot or would not reciprocate our actions. They believe no good deeds go unheard. That we will be rewarded in life and perhaps it will grant us immense happiness and peace. 

They also reminded me of one other thing, the return need not be from the same person for whom we did something but it can be from any other person or in some other form and when we do something good to someone; we should never do it with expectations of getting something in return. We must do it whole-heartedly, for that reason, what we would feel after serving would be peace and happiness.  

There is a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”

I was there when James and Nadine are still starting. When they're still friends , the bond that they had with each other. I don't really ship a loveteam not until JADINE happened . From the start I really want them to in a relationship not just on screen but also off screen and I'm positive that this wish of mine will come true .The day James announced to the whole araneta that she loves Nadine made me the happiest fangirl ever , imagine years of waiting and it finally happened . And now look how far they are now❤. But something unexpected happened, they broke up. The reel-to-real couple decided to part ways recently. I never thought Jadine' break up affects me so much. Si much than that being the strong lady that she is, Nadine took this as an opportunity to explore her individuality and proved to us that she is indeed an independent woman.

Let's dig deeper as to why Nadine is truly inspiring:  

A woman of substance. Nadine Lustre has been in the industry for over a decade now, and with every project, she never fails to stun and deliver, but what makes her even more inspiring is her determination to use her stardom to good causes. She uses her platform to raise numerous advocacies, such as anti-plastic and mental health awareness campaigns.  She recently joined The Rainbow Warrior’s Ship It Back tour, a global campaign aiming to minimize the production of single-use plastic. She is truly not just a pretty face!

LadyBoss. There's no stopping this goal-driven woman to venture into the business world. She launched her own line of beauty cosmetics and made a buzz the moment it was announced. Her love for the beach is evident in the project, with a motif related to crystals and the sea. It was a huge success, and according to her, she will try to improve and release more of it soon. Itching to get your hands on it, too? 

Feisty and fearless. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. With eyes always on you as a public figure, every move can make hell break loose. Still, Nadine prefers to be a no-holds-barred kind of girl, but she carefully chooses her fights. Her fiery statements about intrigues being thrown at her are what wows us. Even Daniel Padilla complimented her for being unapologetic. He said in a Gandang Gabi Vice segment: “Gusto kong sabihin kay Nadine na ang rock and roll niya rin. Fearless na babae, at alam niya kung ano gusto niya." We stan a palaban! 

Multifaceted. Dubbed as the Multimedia Princess, it is known that Nadine is a versatile artist. Having started out as a singer, she also surprised us with her sultry dancing skills and effective acting chops. She made her film debut on Diary ng Panget, and from then on, she became one of the most in-demand actresses. Her recent movie Ulan is a romantic drama film that tells the story of Maya and her quest for true love.

While she is busy making a name for herself in the film industry, she can also juggle her career as a singer, having released a song with Careless Music Manila, a recording label spearheaded by James Reid and Bret Jackson. This girl is literally everywhere, and we want more of her!

She embraces body positivity. Overcoming your insecurities is quite a feat, especially when you’re famous like Nadine. Known for being morena, she openly tells the public how she once gets so affected when people tell her she is not fair enough. Because of such statements, she became dead set on having fairer skin, just to fit in a society that considers white skin as more beautiful. Soon enough, Nadine realizes that such notions have got to end.

After years of trying to fit on everyone’s standard of beauty, Nadine decided to finally love her morena skin, inspiring all bronze-skinned ladies out there to celebrate the complexion they are born with.

A breadwinner. Aside from being an artist, a singer and an entrepreneur, Nadine is also a breadwinner. At the age of 7, she started doing kid variety shows to support her family. She was exposed to show business at an early age, but she did not mind at all, since she was happy with what she was doing.

Being the eldest to three younger siblings, Nadine nonchalantly accepted the challenge of being one of the providers for their family. She made an effort to put family first above everything else, even herself. An independent woman’s love for those close to her is truly inspiring.
