"Don't say anything online that you wouldn't want plastered on a billboard with your face on it."

 
    As a social media user, we must be all aware that we are responsible and accountable for what we post, share, and comment on social media sites. As the quote says we shouldn't just say anything online. It's a reminder that we should be careful of what we post online because everyone can see it and you might not be able to delete it even if you want to.

The Gift of Free Will

Most of us believe or somehow has the thought that a “God” exists, And I personally believe that there is really a God that exist. This world, everything, starting from the smallest things up to the biggest ones wouldn’t be made meticulously by any chance without the touch of a creator. One of the greatest gifts the God gave us was free will—freedom to choose what actions we will do. He gave us the right to choose what we want to be, and what we want to do.

Because of our free will and the freedom to choose our decisions, we tend to be selfish, and abusive that leads to evil decisions. Free will is the product of freedom. It is actually our natural mindset, to think for ourselves first before anyone, and so we do things that we think that is good for us. Greed runs in our veins, and that is why we suffer consequences when we do evil things. People often question god’s existence because of evil, they ask “if god exist why is he allowing this to happen, why am I suffering?” For me, He allows this to happen so that we can able to see his goodness more. We learn and realize things as these happens to us. Good and evil are interdependent to each other, there will be no evil if there is no good. Complete goodness can only be acquired if there is no free will, it is like you’re only going to do what is being told to you.

Generally speaking, Evil exists because of us, because of our selfish desires. And we must realize and be thankful that God gave us the right to choose what we want to do and not be forced to be someone who we don’t want to be, even though he created us. He granted us sonship and not ownership. God and evil co-exist but we humans are the reason why evil lingers in this once beautiful and divine world.

All about Me

    Hello, I'm Justine Jay P. Dacocos, 16 years old from Cabuyao, Laguna. Born on the 28th of September 2001. Music has always been part of my life. When I was young, I always listened to music, and try to sing them, so my mother encouraged me to take vocal lessons, so I took course on it for two years. Then I learned how to play the guitar and (basic) bass in our church when I was 12 and been playing up until now. I don't have any specific genre that I like because I can go listen to hype rap/hip hop until to the saddest and slow songs, depends on the mood haha.

I also know how to do stuffs in the computer. I do digital arts, like digital painting, but I somehow stopped because my graphic tablet has some issues with my laptop so... also I edit films, photos, etc. I edited our short film when I was in Grade 9 and 10. The video below is our short film when I was in Grade 10, (I really wanted to appear in the film even if I can just be a passerby but I got too indulged in directing so I didn't appear haha).

.

    I have 3 siblings, I am the eldest son and yes I'm the only boy lol. I've always been thankful for my hard working parents so I try my best to be a responsible son to them.

I have many friends, and I like hanging out with them. I like making new friends but I have a hard time approaching first so I remain quiet until they approach me and start talking. I'm that one friend that if I really get close with you and if you call at any time I would go at you and talk to you. 

They are my church mates and I've been with them for 9 years and I'm grateful to have them. My set of close friends in my church are all older than me, some are working, and some are college students, yea I am the youngest and I'm glad that I have brothers and sisters that I can depend on when I experience some things that I still don't know about.
