Practice the right to choose right

By Gil delos Santos

The upcoming national polls pop an idea in my head about the people's biggest right to choose. It is the occasion when everyone becomes the loudest in expressing their right in response to who to choose in the seat for public office.

Far from that scene - in the quieter everyday life, most of you tend not to practice that right to choose right to work on your advantage. You are surrounded by opportunities if your consciousness is up...yet you always catch yourself trapped in between situations that limits the healthy mindset to exercise uncompelled right to choose until it's too late. 

Life as you make it, you create your own options. Your heart dictates your mind what to choose between what you have previously created in your subconscious mind. Make it a conscious effort in your process of option-making. Be clear and straightforward to your conscious self to choose being smart than by being stupid. Like, by not by clinging to a wrong belief or superstition or Feng-shui. Be attached to the realities that offer contrast to fairytales.

Most desperate minds believe that they are out of choice, that they don't have other choice why they end up with something unfortunate or have fallen into a wrong person or have done imprudent moves. Silly! You create your own choices. What you only need to do is to practice your right to choose RIGHT over CONVENIENCE. 

Legend:
RIGHT - reality
CONVENIENCE - fairytale 

In your option-making process, it is not always easy to create the right choice. It is a product of hard work, right intention, and time machinery in full consciousness - the basic requirements that no shortcut is possible.

To make it easier: 

being insecure
being envious
being obsessed
being stupid
being stubborn
being negative

are all product of individual choices. Choose right than convenience. Choose reality than fairytale. Practice that right to choose right to become friends with mighty might. Right?

WALKING THE IGBARAS CIRCUIT FOR 3-DAYS + 1

By Gil delos Santos IGBARAS is a third class municipality in the South-western part of Iloilo province known to be one of the hiker's favorite destinations as they are blessed with waterfalls, caves, climbing rocks, beautiful mountain ridges which the popular Mount Napulak belongs to, and locals with notable genuine hospitality. We initiated the hike from Barangay Igcabugao which we had to pass through a community of mountain residents as we ascend to our first Mountain, Napulak. I had absorbed a good load of happy innocent vibe connecting to the children before starting the proper mountain journey. These kids have physically grown from the time I last saw them in my previous visits. At the same time, the reconnection naturally streamed down and effortlessly grown too. That's a good "pabaon" - their innocent smiles and timid but genuine thank you for the little present I have for them. Getting to Mount Napulak once again is a mix of happy and little concer...

Be free

Be free Self-betrayal is imprisoning ourself in the cells of envy believing that we are hell special to deserve the world's importance by seeking validation from recruited flying monkeys than be accountable to our misery brought by wrong decisions.  Be our own source of happiness. No one's responsible for it but ourselves. Give no scapegoats. No one is perfect but we can be perfect with intentions to let go and let be with no ssshht. Public proud appearances could  be a reverse happy projection by a sad inner self. Seeking validation is an abyss for an unreachable self discontent. Be truthful with our own truth and give no blame to others for our own missed target.  Rest restless souls. Don't let our silence speak misery. Hope we find peace in our quiet solace.

Local's Perspective on The Proposed Boracay Bridge

By: Gil delos Santos WHAT HOPE IS LEFT FOR BORACAY? Boracay is its people. Boracay is its community. Boracay is its natural treasures. It's dark how the future of sustainability and community for Boracay look like. Let's be part of the light for hope.  THEN As a kid born and raised in Manocmanoc, the Manocmanoc Beach was our everyday playground. Great memories! The sense of ownership that we have for our playgrounds gives us the privilege of entitlement that we feel it is our home. It was a pride each time to warmly welcome visitors to share our space with them. NOW We feel strangers to our old playgrounds. We cannot access them anymore 40 years later. We have not imagined that it wasn't owned by the community. The provincial government installed a cargo port in the Western side of Manocmanoc Beach preventing the natural sand movements and we lost the sandbar that is being formed every habagat season — which we used to call "Recudo". Recudo is gone forever!!  We a...
