Better life with books and iced coffee

the added expectation from others for you to continue to strive hard because they have already set this standard for you to reach creates a much more problematic situation since it will now be hard to let go of that type of life that caused you fatigue. Now, it will always seem like the lyrics in the song, we will never be satisfied with an average life. We will do whatever it takes, whatever it may be, such as losing the chance to meet friends, feeling the need to run away, and having thoughts of involving ourselves with bad activities is still not enough to make us realize that we are doing too much.

Success is not something you can achieve by planning this heavily scheduled life. You do not need to be great at every single subject in school to ensure this bright future ahead. If you try to perform perfectly in every single subject, you will never really know what subjects you truly excel in or what are the subjects you truly like. Perfection cannot be garnered at all, so instead of trying to aim for perfection, just try to notice what are the things you do well in so you can have a basis on what type of future you would want and love to have. Then there’s failure, it is only feared because people are scared to make mistakes. The fact that they feel this way is because of how judgmental our society is. People feel like they are being watched, in which one small move can cause the destruction of their

In today’s generation we witnessed drastic changes and innovations when it comes to our favorite drink coffee, may it be iced or simply the classic one our hot brew coffee. People from younger generations like me who is a Gen Z loves caffeine simply because it makes me alive. To gather some points, I’ve interviewed my fellow students here in SLSPI on their thoughts and deliberations on why they love coffee, but before that, I also personally love coffee because it stimulates my body in being active, especially in being a student leader.

My classmate, Ayen Jamilla Ileto from Grade 10 St. John, loves to drink coffee. She said, “People who know me well know how much I enjoy coffee, and they complain that I drink far too much at times. This is because coffee helps me get in a good mood. I enjoy drinking coffee while studying because it helps me focus, it is therapeutic for me, and I enjoy the aroma of coffee. I feel less tired when I drink coffee, and I can sometimes start my day productively with coffee.” whole reputation. Yet we must learn to realize that the opinion of others should not affect our journey in life and failure can just be seen as a stepping stone to a bright and beautiful future.

I’ve also interviewed Christian Luis Salvador a grade 11 STEM 3 student.

It’s never too late to change this type of mindset. It is all right to do well and set priorities when it comes to academics, but it will never be alright to let academics destroy you. One thing that we should always put in mind is that our academic performances don’t define our personalities nor our intelligence. It defines our efforts, now one cannot do well with this said effort if our state in life is not well itself. A constant reminder should be set that we should always put our well-being first because you will not even for a moment do great at something when you are weary or in fatigue. Just like the lyrics of the song: “It’s my prob lem if I wanna pack up and run away. It’s my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway” because it is in fact our problem if we have thoughts about doing this since this will not slip our minds for a second if we stop pressuring ourselves too much to continuously be great at every single thing we do. Per fection creates confusion and indeci sion, and failure is not something to be feared because you can always learn more in failure than you do in success.

“The main reason why I enjoy coffee because it tastes good and it helps me keep up at night when I need to do some work that’s due the next day or when I need the energy to boost to deal with people”, Christian stated. Coffee is a staple even if you’re still a student may it be a reason for energy or the good smell of the coffee beans which is mostly why coffee lovers enjoy coffee.

I’ve also noticed that in our class we bring instant coffee because hot water is easily accessible. Coffee isn’t just a staple for today’s generation but also in the past. Students like us lack sleep because of our hectic schedules which blunder our sleeping schedule and change our body clock that’s why we enjoy coffee to keep us awake into doing the task that we want to accomplish. Here in SLSPI, I can conclude that the reason why students love to drink coffee may be iced or hot for it makes us less tired and alive into doing our responsibilities as students.

Today, let’s tackle about a sea. The West Philippine Sea or South China Sea.

This vast glistening water filled with liquid gold has been causing years of dispute between the Philippines and China. The body of water has a lot of minerals. Is home to large amounts of fishes great for harvesting. Has tons of coral reefs in the depths. These resources are the reason why there isn’t simply an end to who actually owns the sea.

This sea is legally owned by the Philippines on paper. It was signed multiple years ago, even when looking at some maps and globes, the sea is called “West Philippine Sea”, Yet, this sea also lies within the South China Sea causing them to defend it as theirs. This dispute has been going on for years because nobody can seem to give up the mountain of luxuries you can gain alongside owning the body of water.

The vast blue waters is a great fish resource. It is home to a diverse amount of fishes great for harvesting and selling. Fish is a huge part of Asian Cuisine since with it being an easy harvest due to the multiple bodies of water located here in Asia, some Asians prefer fish instead of pork and beef. Fish can be quite versatile as some can be eaten raw hence sushi. Also, the meat of fish is not the only thing you can benefit from them; some fishes have eggs that are very expensive yet are bought by humans to be consumed due to the health benefits gained from it.

The minerals found in this body of water can be extremely beneficial to humans. Our body needs a lot of nutrients to function properly. With that, this can be found within the waters itself. Multiple products are shown to us as something that we should buy since it has a lot of minerals garnered from the depths of the sea. The minerals we need are mostly taken from the bodies of water and are turned into products we can safely use

The coral reefs that lie at the bottom of the sea helps lessen storm erosions and helps with the recreation of different fishes. This diverse ecosystem is home to multiple fishes which help them survive different tragedies and calamities causing their population to maintain. As their populations maintain, the harvesting is not affected ∞ the worry just keeps rolling in. Coral reefs can also be a great source of food and medicine

All of these benefits have been the cause of tension towards who actually owns the sea. Since who in their right mind can easily give up something where you can gain a lot of benefits from? The
