Photo Exhibit

We were told by our professor to drop by at the STC lobby to see the launching of the photo exhibit entitled "Mindanao War" and "Lansad 2". I wasn't able to drop by because I made some assignments for the other subjects. Honestly I also forgot to drop by, to think that I am obliged to go there. I wasn't able to join the launching at the STC lobby yet I saw the pictures on the following day. It was displayed at the old library.

The title alone tells us about the war that was happened last August. The photos were so unique and I so love how the pictures were being captured. It was perfect. :)


But then, it was so ironic to see those people in the photos. The victims suffered a lot, and I felt really sad about it due to the fact that they have no food to eat, no shelter to stay and no clothes for them to wear. As what my mother always tell me, "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE". In this case, they didn't choose to become victims of those rebels. Those kids who crave for toys didn't choose to feel that way. The children didn't choose to have a poverty way of life, they didn't choose their parents. Of course, who could choose a parent?no one. And I realized that we should be thankful on what we really have, to be contented on what we can reach for now, hope and strive hard to have a better one for the future. It is not bad to have an ambition but at least, be contented on what you have right now and be thankful from above because there are a lot of people who are thirsting for just a cup of juice and a slice of bread.
