Take your time...


                “Take your time...eto ata ‘yung trending sa kanila ngayon...” said Ms. Kris Aquino in one of her tv show when she was asked why her paintings are still not in place.She said that the people she ask to frame those paintings are as just taking their time to design and finish their job, not hurrying for anything. This was also the thing we wanted to hear from our parents when we ask them if we can go to a party or form our professors when we need to comply to their requirements. Take your time ...all the time that you need...but life is too short. Then we should live your life to the fullest now. But if it was the nuclear bomb and wars that scares people back then, what would terrify us nowadays?

                Probably it was natural disasters, things that no creature would be able to stop. No high technology can ever determine the exact path it would go. No great wall or expensive infrastructure can withstand its immeasurable power. When it was nature that started acting to you, there is no way you won’t be affected. In the Philippines, several natural calamities was bombarded to us by mother nature. Thousands of lives were lost and millions of assets were destroyed. It was heart warming to see that many are donating and volunteering to serve the Yolanda victims and the earthquake victims last year. It was like we are going back to where we started when humans are just looking for food in the surrounding and was very vulnerable to all disasters. Back then they have no modern technologies that may help them to survive these calamities. And as much as we like to take our time for everything, we just can’t. We have to keep moving and reflect for some moments o still check if we are still living in the world we used to know.
