Slut-shaming is a way of criticizing people, especially women or girls who perceived to violated the expectations about their appearance and behavior relating to sexual issues. Thus, people should understand that women are their own kind of people who live in this cruel world. Who they are, is what they are and that is something that should stuck in people`s mind.

The way they act on how they dress or behave does not define them names that should be called because they are also human who feel emotions and can be sensitive about this kind of matter making them flinch just by hearing or remembering those words. Words can be hurtful most of the time.

Women are not easy and they would not do anything just because people said so. Women are empowered and strong even if words can pin down their heart and mind they are strong enough to keep fighting on. 

In the world of body shaming and slutshaming,

In the nation known for rape and molestation

In the city filled with lusty eyes and hidden fantasies

What`s more challenging to win more as a “ woman “ ?

Prompt #1

she pick up her clothes from the bed and strode to the bathroom. She came out wearing a red square dress with puffy sleeve and a red pumps matching her make-up with a smoky eyes and a nude lipstick. she lift her chin up, chest out and stand tall marching out from her apartment.

The suns shine brightly even with the warm breeze she parades the walkway as if she is in a Paris fashion week but she quiver as eyes starting to goggle upon her.

Cyberbullying; or better known as cyber harassment, is an action wherein one person is using the means of the social media platform to spread the hurtful words, actions and posts to its victim. It could be anybody: your classmate, teacher, friend, or even you. Everybody is susceptible to be involved in a potential case of cyberbullying. Either you are the bullied, or you can be the bully. No one is safe from this world of technology and advancement. There already exist different laws and movements today that all have the same goal: to end cyberbullying and punish the responsible in doing these crimes.

In every case of bullying, it doesn’t matter if it’s verbal, physical, or emotional, there are always two kinds of people when faced as a witness in this situation: someone who has the courage to stop the bullying and a bystander.

Out of those two people, which one are you? Are you that someone who has the ability to stop the impending bullying? Or are you that someone who can’t have the courage in their hearts and watch as one of their schoolmates or neighbors get bullied? Perhaps you spread the information about the rampant cases of bullying but can’t even bat an eye on the victim?

If you are the person being depicted on the second and third questions stated, then that means that you are against the act of bullying but you simply do not know what to do, but there is still a way in order for you to stop being a bystander and do big changes for your community, neighbor, and yourself. 

Hello! Kumusta! First things first, I want to introduce myself to all of you, my name is Niel Jan Cruz Espinosa, but you can call me Niel, I am 17 years old, single and ready to mingle...CHAROOOT! HAHAHAH.

I am a grade 12 student from University of Perpetual Help and was taking a STEM strand. Over the years, my hobby and my stress reliever is making and creating some calligraphy art, It helps me a lot coping up with stress and I really enjoy doing those arts.

When talking about music, I really really love listening to R&B/Soul type of music, because those type of music are very relaxing and very pleasing in my ears, I listen to those songs when I'm sad to make me happy, and also when I miss someone else, I will imagine that I'm with him/her listening together with that song. Some artist that I really admire because of their genre is DANIEL CAESAR, KAASH PAIGE, and many more.

I think I will end this activity by leaving a qoute that really inspire me to continue and not giving up in life;

her brown orbs scan through every word on the hundred year old page. fingers delicately graze upon the brittle back of the book then closing it after a satisfied hum. placing it back to its shelf seemed dreading yet she continues her search through the aisles. taking slow strides in the midst of a thousand doorways to new worlds, her eyes linger for the longest time in between dusty edges.

somehow she always finds herself at peace when visiting second hand bookstores. the nostalgic feel just hits home. steps come to a halt and a familiar name comes to sight.

taking le petit prince to adore its worn out glory, she couldn’t help but stifle a grin. she flips through the pages to relive the journey she once ventured. now falling into the rabbit’s hole all over again. leaning against the wood while propping her foot behind the other, now immersed in her own little euphoria.

the door’s chimes jingle to which brings her back to reality. she reaches a movie ticket from her wallet to serve as her usual bookmark whilst making her way to the counter. soft smiles and wrinkled eyes were exchanged.

8:17 AM, she checks her phone. ah, everything is falling into place as it’s meant to be so it means.

her arms cradle the book as she steps out into the morning rays. she basks under the warmth of a fresh spring. with the sun, she thinks, i feel most alive. continuing her morning stroll, she sees cats playing under the shade of a cafe, three men putting up a poster of dead poets society for its show tonight, and an old record playing ma l'amore no from someone's window.

she is always reminded to take notice of the little things in life and make something out of them. although young, she learns to fall in love even in the mundane trinkets and scenarios. her little encounters make her yearn for more.

Lesson 3 : Evolution of Media

"Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing."

-Philip K. Dick-

A typical 18 years old colleen who aspire to be an engineer someday. The one who loves reading books or a  bibliophile  as they say. She loves having her time mostly by reading and watching different series in Netflix such as FRIENDS, The 100,Lucifer,Suits and How to get away with murder. 

Some may say that she`s a self-centered person, an attention seeker and so much more but do these words is what she really is?. Others may say that she`s bubbly, playful and an optimistic. Though, others can describe us in what they see and know but she is just a typical teenager who simply tried to ignored all of the negative things about her as long as she know who she is in and out. 

She is the type of person who seeks the things that are good and bad and analyzing what to change and how to cope with it. She usually gets motivation and inspiration from the books that is all about self-help such as The Secret, Atomic Habits, Getting things done and more. She always try to see the positive of being a human being that it is natural to always be down and emotional. That`s life but then always try to make the best of it.
