What I Ought Not to Be

              "Who really am I?"..This might be one of the trickiest questions. We are all unsure of who really we are and it takes much self evaluation just to answer such question.

              I'm that kind of a person who credits privacy; but for goodness' sake, i can relate few words about myself.
              My social life is not that complex. I’m somewhat intimidated whenever I’m with others’ company. I sometimes feel that I’m out of place though I try to orient myself in such situation. My weak communication skill has made me not to speak much. That makes me silent most of the time.
              I’m not a studious person. My laziness always overpowers my necessity to study. I seldom participate in class discussions because I don’t have much idea to share. Also, my timidity adds to this dilemma.
              I don’t think a class instructor has ever become familiar with me because I don’t have the guts to stand out during classes. In our English class, I don’t dare to recite for I’m afraid of committing grammatical errors in speaking the English language. With that, I always wish i were good in English speaking.
             These things are just a part of me. Nevertheless, these constitute much of the other side of my being. I always wanted to overcome my shortcomings which I’ve just stated in order to bring whatever best there is in me. 

Placards of Problematic Issues

                If you are planning to visit the Vargas museum you would probably see this scene before you enter the museum:

If you’re thinking that these are directional signs, well you might as well think again. These what you “think” directional signs are actually works of UP students expressing their ideas about some issues in a form of art. These signs or placards displayed outside the Vargas museum depict the stories of our nation in a different perspective. Each has a significant story that lead the viewer of these placards to question the political issues in our country. Now with problematic issues rising from left and right there is no way to combat these things but to express their existence to the public. And one way to express them is by using arts as a medium as shown above.

                Here are some placards that may attract your attention:

Shows the conflict between Presdent Aquino’s plans and the Rights of our native Filipinos

The representation of people who wants to change the country; the message they want to spread.

How we are secretly controlled by other nations.

Begging peace for our country is like saying it to other nation’s ass.

 And the injustice of freedom of speech.
