“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones.”

-Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg lambasted the world leaders at the UN Summit for their inactivity towards the issue on climate change that caused a disappointment to the young people. In a striking speech, she called on to world leaders regarding the urgent need to stop the effects of climate change.

“We’ll be watching you,” she started. “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you!”

Thunberg’s eyes become teary as she proceeded to criticize what she saw as the lack of response by world leaders to combat climate change. “People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!”

The teen activist presented more than 30 years of scientific evidence indicating the implications of a relentlessly global warming, and conveyed condemnation to officials who understood the facts, yet still done nothing. She told the leaders around the world that they are still not yet mature enough to tell the people about the real current situation of the world regarding the climate change.

Thunberg ended her speech and gave a warning to world leaders. “You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not,” she said with evident disappointment and determination.

This speech is not just for world leaders but for everyone. It is just a shame that the people whose work is to lead are the ones who are leading its people to a wrong path. The fact is that the home for a lot of species is coming to an end if people do not do something. Do people not realize what word would be formed if the last letter of the word “Earth” was placed first? Every change do not just start with a realization because realization without action is nothing.

Maglakbay habang nabubuhay upang ang buhay ay hindi maging matamlay.

Isa sa mga paboritong puntahan o pasyalan sa Pilipinas ay ang Pangasinan lalo na sa panahon ng tag-init na kung saan ay maraming matatagpuang magagandang tanawin at isa na ang Bolinao. Ang pagkakaalam ng iba ay puro lamang dagat ang mapupuntahan ngunit lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami na may matatagpuan ding kuweba sa lugar na iyon, ang Enchanted Cave. Ang Enchanted Cave ay isa sa mga nakatagong yaman na maipagmamalaki ng Pangasinan.

Sa pagpasok sa Enchanted Cave ay may mga taong masasayang sumasalubong sa mga bisita na may magandang pagbati at ngiti sa kanilang mga mukha. Kinakailangan munang magbayad ng mga bisita ng entrance fee bago makapasok at makapaglibot-libot upang mapanatili ang kalinisan at kagandahan ng lugar. Unang papasok sa isipan ng mga tao kapag narinig ang Enchanted Cave ay isang kuweba, ngunit ang lugar na ito ay malawak. Mayroon ding makikita na mga hayop na nakatutuwang panoorin lalo na ang mga unggoy na nagpapalipat-lipat ng puwesto.

Kailangan munang maglakad bago marating ang kuweba at habang patungo sa kuweba ay mayroong gabay na sumasama sa mga bisita at mga babala na nakapaskil. Sa pagbaba sa kuweba ay kailangang ingatan ang ulo upang hindi mauntog. Madulas din ang daanan kaya dapat maglakad nang maingat o dahan-dahan. Pagkadating sa kuweba ay mamangha ang mga tao sa linis at linaw ng tubig. Malalim ito kung kaya’t hindi hinihikayat ang mga taong hindi marunong lumangoy na lumusob sa tubig nang walang suporta gaya ng life vest. Mahirap makakuha ng mga litrato lalo na kung ang lahat ay nasa tubig at walang kukuha ng litrato. May paliguan din sa Enchanted Cave ngunit kailangan munang mag-igib ng tubig mula sa poso.

Maaari ring magpahinga sa Punta Riviera Resort sapagkat ito ay ilang minutong biyahe lamang mula sa Enchanted Cave. Kung nabitin sa paglalangoy sa kuweba ay maari itong ituloy sa resort dahil may swimming pool at dagat dito. Maganda rin dito at madaming aktibidad na puwedeng gawin. Buong puso ang pagtanggap ng mga empleyado sa mga bisita. Makapagpapahinga ang mga tao nang maayos sapagkat ang mga silid ay malawak at malinis. Ang mga kama o tulugan naman ay malambot kaya kumportable ang mga tao at makatutulog nang mahimbing.

Masayang mamasyal na kasama ang pamilya, kaibigan o mga taong malapit sa puso ng isang indibidwal. Marami pang magandang pasyalan sa Pangasinan at marami pang nakatagong yaman na hindi pa nadidiskubre. Sa pagbisita rito at kahit sa ibang lugar, laging tandaan at isabuhay ang responsable paglalakbay upang makabuo ng hindi malilimutang mga alaala na habang buhay na dadalhin.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
