A Letter to Mr. H.G. Wells (I have questions...)

 Dear Mr. Herbert George Wells, I am writing to you from the year 2023—still earlier compared to the future you imagined set in the year 802701 of your book, The Time Machine—but humanity has exponentially improved and revolutionized since the time of The Time Machine's publishing in 1895. It has been a wicked, wild, yet whimsically remarkable ride for humanity since then. I have three important questions, each unique and probably mind-boggling for you, but I have faith in your great mind to wholly understand that these questions have come from a mind of a twenty year old girl from the year 2023 addressing to the Father of Science Fiction himself. This could be another plot for your next novel, Breaking the Fourth Wall: Questions From a Girl From 2023. Question one, as an enthusiast and a significant figure in the field of science would you take the place of the Time Traveler in your novel, The Time Machine, and have your own go with the adventures of discovering what the future

My View on Martin Heidegger's "Question Concerning Technology"

Image
I stand with Martin Heidegger's claim that we are all swallowed or shackled by technology. Since the dawn of humanity, when we evolve —technology also evolves with us. Technological advancements through generations have brought about our inquisition on what truly is meaningful in our lives. Think of the real world like a never-ending series of Netflix's Black Mirror; the dangers brought by technological advancements will forever exist. Nevertheless, the recipe for chaos will not be complete without the inevitable errors of human actions and thoughts. But why make errors and mistakes, when these technologies should have had the purpose of making life easier? That is where we all have fell short with our understanding. Personally, I have struggled to learn from a good old friend called "discipline". I could also say that love, prayer, stability, conversatio, obedience, humility, stewardship, hospitality, and a sense of community can help me pull my life together; but

Isabella's Journal

━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━ ✿ ━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━ Introduction to Literary Genres               Critiquing papers kick-started my awesome semester with creative nonfiction, and I absolutely appreciated this chance of talking about important real-life matters. I was not a master of format and structure, but I truly liked how timely issues were discussed in our essays. Critiquing somebody else’s essay, Francine Abueva’s to be exact, about the Pandemic in the Philippines gave me much insight about her own thoughts about the issue at hand. Her essay opened my mind to more information apart from my own about this topic. Thanks to her optimism, I felt optimistic about the future ahead. To conclude this reflective essay, I would like to say that reading somebody else’s thoughts about issues is actually refreshing. I would never think of certain things the same way as I did when I only regarded my own understandings of such topics. This world is all about brainstorming our ideas to create a better one

The Era of Healing

 The Covid-19 pandemic has been severely challenging the Philippines and its economy in ways unexpected. The nation had been seeking for a relief from all the toxicity caused by the virus that was sinking into the very roots of the country’s soul, and has now finally been offered a light of hope in terms of the possibility of eliminating the virus with the potential help of different vaccines. Sinovac and Astrazeneca are two of the vaccines imported within Philippines by the legal permission and supervision of the nation’s president, Rodrigo Duterte. Sinovac, also known as CoronaVac, is an inactivated Covid19 vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech, according to BBC. According to the Mint, another vaccine that has been created in hopes of it potentially defeating the virus is Astrazeneca, which had also been approved by the European Medicines Agency and the World Health Organization, based on a global clinic program involving 23, 000 participants. The people of the nation have finally bee

We Survived 2020, In 2021 We’ll Still Hold On

     Oyez, Oyez, Oyez! The already rigorous tide cannot be changed, therefore we must swim against the waves of despair for the duration of these grueling and arduous times. Not a soul was ever prepared for the health crisis that overshadowed all of our plans and dreams which have been doomed since the beginning of this gobbledygook lockdown. Nonsense, did I just say? How insufferable was I to have fingers that could type such obnoxiousness in this testimony of my advice to the general public whom are currently reading this per se, genteel treatise. Let me unwrap my statements of support in a fashion that majority of my beloved addressees would reasonably be au fait with.      Welcome to the 21st century, a time where everybody desperately wants to be a social media influencer and where people spend about an hour sitting on the toilet with their smartphones held tight in their grasp. Humanity has already been stuck in a trance with the internet and technology even before the Coronaviru
