What is writing?

We all have our opinions on what writing is all about. Some may see it as an advantage to their life and some may see it the other way around. Some people may like it as a way to express their emotions but others would talk about it rather than having a pen and paper or a computer. I, personally, do not like writing. I am the type of person who would rather talk about it than have a diary or a blog to talk about my feelings. But sometimes, it may be good to rather write it down to keep things more private.

Come to think of it, writing is actually important. Some may not see it but I see the importance. It is a way to help ourselves express our emotion through words. Some of us may even have blogs that are private or diaries where no one can see them because maybe the words are too harsh or maybe because the story is just too personal that the writer would rather write it down than talk about it to his/her peers. Another reason why writing is important because it may be another form of communication. There are circumstances where our loved ones are on the other side of the Earth. There are only two ways to communicate: one is thru the internet and the second one is thru writing. Internet can always be a problem due to the connection from one country to the other. Writing on the other hand will only be a problem because of the delay of sending of letters to each other especially if the two people are far away from each other. But we can see that writing is important because we are able to communicate with our loved ones on the other side of the Earth.

There are many more pros of writing but the most important for me was the form of communication and a way to express what we feel. Even though I am not the type of person who likes to write, maybe because it's of my grammar, I still find a way to finish something that I have started on. And I still find a way to learn to love writing. 

Overpopulation in the Philippines

In each country, there are tons of social issues. Over in the Philippines, social issues keep on coming. Recently, there has been an issue on plagiarism, RH Bill, disrespect on police officers and a lot more. But the issue that stood out is overpopulation in the country. For Philippines is not only overpopulated mainly by Filipinos but also of different nationalities. Maybe the cause of overpopulation is because of the Koreans, Chinese, Americans and the Middle East. But yet again, it is not assured because they might be staying in the Philippines for only about a month or a year. 

There are a lot of reasons as to why the Philippines is overpopulated. One reason, or I was able to think of, is Pre-Marital Sex. We learn from the Bible that sex before marriage is a sin and yet a lot of people do it. Some happens accidentally but some do it on purpose. Another cause of overpopulation is unprotected sex. Maybe one of the reasons as to why people do it is mainly just because of pleasure. Come to think of it, I ask myself 'why do they do it when they know that it could actually lead to something bad?' This is a cause of overpopulation because the child born was just mainly an accident. These couples did not want to have a child in the first place and that one child is a big contribution to the country's population. Another main cause that hit me the most is those families on the poverty level still manage to get a child when they already have fiver or even more to take care of. They keep on making children when they know themselves that they are only limited to a number.

This issue does not only happen in the Philippines but also in other countries. Overpopulation is not good because this pulls down the economy of the country in a way that imagine spending for a big family when you can actually gain a lot for yourself. Not to sound selfish but if a person wants a family, do it out of love and not mainly for pleasure because it affects the whole country.
