ako mismo

Ako Mismo. Si Brent Mismo.

I saw this advocacy ad in TV one time and then wham; I fell in love with its advocacy. As a matter of fact, I am writing this blog in response to that call and as a completion of a promise I attested to the group as I become a member.

AKO MISMO.

Sounds cheesy for some, but really; to ask, how many of us entertained the thought that that “hey, nothings really gonna happen with this current dilemma” The truth is, there really is no problem, not even DESPAIR, a Filipino can’t surpass. A nation of a handful dialects, of tribes and varied religions; but did that tear as apart? Nothing! Not even a super typhoon or a gigantic upheaval of Pinatubo did make a Filipino turn aback his trail. For how many times did fellow Filipinos die for the love of mother land? For what that Ninoy’s undaunted words, “the Filipino is worth dying for” are proudly printed in our five hundred bill. Tapos, ngayon, basta basta na lang tayo titiklop? Pardon my words but ****ina na lang talaga.

It’s true that we pretty have a lot of share of tribulations, but why is it so romanticized over our feats? The truth is; we are pretty much better off now than we were. Opportunities abound, freedom comes with birth. So what’s the fussing for?

Economically, we are not better, but we are not bad. Politically, we are not that humble anymore under this globe we share. Educationally, we are exceptional in many of a few aspects. But sadly, why is it that every one thinks that we are doomed.

Oh common, Uncle Sam is in recession, the Queen Elizabeth’s experiencing it too; so why despair? The sun will shine tomorrow, why fuss today? Hopeless people are hopeless. And to add, masyado lang mga duwag to face life.

I once come about an idea in Riders Digest, the author said, “since childhood, for how many times did we think that we are doomed and our situation is hopeless; and then wake up the next day okay?” True enough, the world revolves.

Kaya sana lang, you, after reading this, think twice…
Remember Vincent Peale’s philosophy, “the thought dictates the deed”

I know my voice is nothing but a minute shout in a crowd, but I will never ever let despair run over my perspective in life. Mangangarap at mangangarap ako hanggat hindi ko naaabot ang mga pangarap na ito. Cheesy di ba? But to tell you, every man and woman written in the pages of history books, every person whose epitaphs are shouting that “here lays a person who lived a life worth living”, all of this guys started with a dream. They worked for it, and in the end earned more than the dreams they made.

Sa ngayon, simple akong estudyante. Bukas, I know I’ll be someone kasi panghahawakan ko kung ano man ang meron ako ngayon, kung ano man ang environment ko ngayon.

Ako Mismo, si Brent Mismo, aayusin ang direksyon ng buhany nya para in that way, maliit man, makatulong na magkadireksyon ang super love kong mother land.

I have always been proud of my tan, my eyes, my accent… kasi Filipino ako. And I will never get tired of loving who I am, what I am. Kikilos ako, ako mismo.
