Hi! If you are here it’s because you want to know a bit more about me, so I better introduce myself! I’m Jar-el! born on the beautiful place, the Philippines!
When I was young, I am truly amazed and excited whenever I see an airplane flying up there with the white fluffy clouds, a ship sailing on the very clear, blue sea, and even jeepneys and buses around the noisy streets of Manila. With that, I’ve always promised myself that someday, I’ll be able to ride those.
Surprisingly, with the age of 16, yes I am still sweet as 16! I was able to ride my dreams already. I’ve saw the beautiful lands right below me the moment I flew up, I was able to feel the cold and relaxing breeze along the sea and waits to meet the horizon, and also what I loved the most, I was able to ride jeepneys, buses or any public transportations ALONE! I am proud of it, I think I am already independent.
Today, I’ve witnessed the different situations that is currently happening in my country, my every day travel to school has shown me some of the poorest areas of my beloved Philippines; the slums and the congested areas. Sadly, people from other countries see this only. They seems to see only the shadows of our country’s masterpieces. It saddens me that, they see it ugly, they see it messy, but I found the people’s smiles which I think is one of the best views I’ve ever seen. That makes the Philippines unique.
As a Humanities and Social Sciences Student, I’ve always want to do something for my country. With my low age, I wanted to somehow promote my country’s beauty in some little ways. And I see that blogging could be a good platform to promote not only the tourism of my nation, but also, the hidden treasures that only some know.
I hope you will enjoy your moment here! Welcome to the Philippines!
