Duterte Suspends Abrogation of Visiting Forces Agreement

Wazzup Pilipinas!

PH suspends abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) upon the instructions of President Duterte.

The US didn't call the bluff. Philippines folds. US wins the pot.

Our foreign policy mirrors pretty much everything this administration exemplies, discombobulation.

Why the change of heart? The govt was fuming mad months ago on this and now it gets suspended. Laban, bawi!

Laban laban bawi bawi, iyak na bato, wala na talagang pag asa us visa mo, di bale sarap naman ng buhay mo. Yan ang resulta ng desisyong hindi pinag-isipan. As usual.

Nakakatawa itong complete indecision from MALALAcañan pero still a better news because it supports PH sovereignty versus that politically and ill-motivated anti-terror bill.

Natauhan si PRRD? He should realize that the US cannot be threatened! We need them especially during trying times.

According to SFA Locsin the suspension of the termination of the VFA was brought about by recent development around the world especially in the Asian region. Duterte finally realized that terminating VFA is a bad decision and will not benefit our country. Another thing was, he finally realized that Bato is not worth dying for as he was hybernating during our trying times.

...in light of political developments.. as if this will go away after 6 months, now it becomes obvious who needs who more even after the macho posturing and bravado of our political-defense leaders, urong sulong talaga tayo.

So it's duterte who blinks first, US  calls your bluff, and whose on the loosing end in the bargaining table than the Philippines, please be informed in case your not aware US is 1st in superpower countries and pH is third world country, as such should behave as one. Make no mistake US has only friendly compassion on us and still continue to send covid aid despite VFA cancellation. Trump just shrug off his shoulders and this saved a lot of money. But the suspension is for 6 months only and extendible for another 6 months - looks like though has clipped it's wings but still has ego left and raises head up high, as if awaiting for Trump to open its fold for a prodigal son return. No way, if you want US support you have to earn it. Duterte just playing pure and simple game of diplomatic immaturity. It's a no no to diplomatic protocols not unless abrogation was a result of our unforseen domestic statutory errors like what is now pending in the supreme court the Senate questioning the validity of the abrogation without Senate concurrence. The duterte admin is on a balancing act between his bff and US support which we badly need now but China is not in a situation to extend as it has pretty tight financial future with expected corporate exodus of china-base foreign firms leaving China for other stable and healthy neighboring environs. In terms of foreign policy formulation duterte is worst ever and this suspension is just the tip of the iceberg of his face saving remedy. From here I'll adopt a wait and see attitude for his admin next move.

Haaay. Ang gobyernong walang paninindigan. Nagmumukha tuloy katawa tawa. Kung di pala kaya panindigan, sana di nalang nag termintae ng VFA. Stupid.

Malamang heto script ng mga DDS "Ang tibay talaga ni Tatay Digong, biruin nyo sinuka na nya tas kinain ulit para lang  maisalba ang VFA sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at Amerika, love na love ka namin talaga Tatay Digong!"

It's all because we have the most immature and so sensitive president.. He made our country a big joke! Who's laughing now??

You will probably be travelling to different places all which present their own sets of challenges. If you use a laptop, you need to understand that it may run out of charge and hence establish what to do when this happens. You may also travel to remote locations where there is no internet connection meaning you will need to find substitute alternatives. If you are a keen person, you will explore some of the challenges that are faced by individuals that do this kind of work and prepare yourself in advance. In my opinion, you can never be prepared enough for the many challenges and distractions that are likely to come your way. But this does not mean that it is impossible to manage your writing habit as you ravel. There are actually working ways that have been used by many individuals over the years. Below, are some of the most useable tips that you can use to ensure that you keep creating content even as you travel.


Determine and define your major goal

This has always been a great challenge for many writers who embark on a variety of trips. They fail to establish their overall writing goal prior to setting off on their trips. Goal setting is one of the most important skills that you need to develop as a writer in any niche. You need to establish your writing goals way in advance and then work at breaking it down into actionable tasks. For example, if you need to write a journal article, break it down into smaller tasks like research and drafting. Ensure that you set a good schedule on when you are going to get these done. Determine the amount of time that you will have on your hands and divide it among all your tasks. When you have all the tasks well-laid out before you start your travels, you will be able to come up with a good schedule that you will use to ensure that you meet all your objectives during the trip.

Come up with a good schedule

Since you already know the things that you need to get done and you have divided them up into actionable tasks, it is quite easy for you to create a working timetable. Look at all the things that you need to get done and spread them out based on your available time as well the number of activities that you will be taking part in during your trip. Like in all other cases, it is always important to create a schedule and ensure that you can adhere to it. For example, never go to the swimming pool at the hotel when you are supposed to be writing your paper. Ensure that your schedule is favourable and easy to follow and do your level best to avoid things that may prevent you from meeting your writing goals. Travelling is a fun activity and you may get carried away by the many tempting sceneries and activities that you will find. It is thus important to develop a good amount of discipline that will allow you to stick to your schedule no matter how challenging.

Get tips from professional writing companies

In some circumstances, even the best writers face some challenges getting their work done. This is because writing is a challenging task that may consume a great amount of time and mental energy especially where a poor approach is taken by the writer. As you travel, you may find some difficulties getting your work done on time due to some distractions or challenges along the way that may render you incapable of writing. What would you do in such a situation? For example, you may lose your laptop as you travel or you may be in an area where connection is very poor and yet you need to get your paper submitted. In such impossible situations, it is only reasonable to get help from professional companies such as Peachy Essay. This is a great and internationally recognized company that can help you with all your writing needs. Not only do they offer solutions to the most difficult writing jobs, they can also help you get your work done on time hence allowing you to enjoy your trips without ever having to worry about getting work done. Remember there are also some aspects about writing that you may find challenging and such a company can save you a huge amount of time if you ask for their help. They can also offer you some great guidelines on how to write great content under stringent timelines which would go a long way in helping you write as you travel.

Always be prepared and carry everything that you need

A writer and his tools of trade should always be inseparable. Always make sure that you plan your trips in advance and get everything that you need. In case you are going to areas where you are not sure about the availability of good internet, ensure that you have a backup device or plan prior to travelling. If you are not sure about the charge of the device that you are going to use for your writing, have a backup ready and packed. It is also very important to prepare for the worst and ensure that you have alternatives in case anything goes wrong. As a writer, all this depends on you. For example, in cases where you are not using your laptop to do the writing, you can use pen and paper and later type it out. Although it may mean that you are not able to travel light, it is always important to ensure that you will be able to write when you need to and in case anything goes wrong. Always plan in advance and ensure that your plans are all actionable to avoid any form of inconvenience. For example, you can conduct research on a given topic and download any resources that you will need before embarking on your journey if you want to make sure that lack of internet does not fully disrupt your writing habit as you travel.

Be disciplined and highly present

This is probably the most important tip for anyone who wants to travel and write. As much as you create a schedule, it is important to develop a sense of discipline and do what you are supposed to without failure. If you are supposed to be writing, do not go and explore that hill that you saw on your way to the hotel! Write and do it with a passion. It is hard for most of us but with discipline, not impossible. Ensure that your attention is in the right place at the right time no matter how difficult it becomes. Writing and travelling at the same time is not easy but it is a habit that you need to feed. Strictly adhere to your schedule and do it out of love for writing. Do not treat it as a job, rather treat it as a hobby and you may be surprised by the outcome.

It is not easy to sit down and write when you could be doing other fun activities. As one travels, you come across a wide range of new and beautiful things that you need to explore and understand. It is however possible to manage your writing habit even as you travel. The above mentioned tips offer some great ways through which you can ensure that constantly create new content even as you travel. The most important part is to establish your goals and ensure that you work towards attaining them no matter the challenges that you come across.

The Best Ways to Spend Your Birthday

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There are good and bad moments in our lives. Bad phases are painful whereas good phases are not only beautiful but are celebrated as well. Parents celebrate when a child is born to them. This celebration turns into “Birthday” for a child, that is celebrated on that specific date and month when that child was born. Every one of us fanaticizes our birthday celebrations. During earlier birthdays of our childhood, we have parents, siblings, and relatives around us. As we grow, there is an addition of our friends and further in mature age sometimes our colleagues may also join us. Here in this schismatic narrative blog, we will discuss some best way to celebrate your birthday:

Plan but don’t over plan

Planning your birthday is a good step, but getting too much obsessed with planning is not a good deal. Most of us start planning their birthday before a month. They look for so many online ideas regarding themes, venue, invitation cards, and many more that choosing any of them becomes hard. Nothing in this world is perfect and so are we and are plans. Therefore, stay calm and think of a simple and easy plan for your birthday.

Make a budget

The best way for a successful birthday party is to make a complete budget for all the expenses of your event. It includes your expenses for food, drinks, music, venue, decorations, etc. You must not spend your money on unnecessary things. The priceless fun and gathering of your loved ones are enough to make your day memorable. Thus, you must spend much time in enjoyment during birthday instead of spending a huge amount of money to the organizer or wasting on useless luxuries and items.

Choose a venue

The venue of your birthday could be your home or outside, in a location that is most accessible to all your guests. At home, your noise of music might annoy your neighbors. It also becomes hectic when it comes to cleaning of the birthday mess after the event. However, celebrating it at home is economical and more suitable due to the current situation due to COVID-19. If you still, manage to celebrate outside.

Inviting your friends and relatives

Throwing a birthday for many unnecessary people may sometimes become very annoying. Some people are always looking forward to ruining your happiness. You have to make a list of your closest and loved ones for invitation other than your family (as they are already there). This helps to avoid any kind of embarrassment and mishaps during the function and you can celebrate it to the fullest.

Theme

Whether a birthday party or a wedding event, nowadays, selecting a theme for any event has become the topmost priority. You must choose the one that best suits your budget. It shows your taste and adds to the glory of the event. You must decorate your theme ideas one day earlier. Otherwise, you may be short of time the next day and cannot accomplish your other necessary tasks in time.

Buying everything a day earlier

You should buy every item of your grocery and decoration items just a day before your birthday. Buying them on the same day may cause stress, which will not allow you to celebrate your birthday well.
Fun games

Fun games during a birthday party are one of the interesting activities that every guest enjoys. You can check online, very economical ideas for fun games like musical chairs.



Gifts opening Activities

Birthday brings gifts along with it. Your guests might bring according to their financial standards. You may open the gifts of those who want their gifts to be opened before everyone. This is also an interesting activity for your birthday

Time management

This is one of the most important things to be followed to make your event successful. On the beautiful day of your birthday, you must start your day with punctuality. You must remind your guest to be punctual as well. The event should be started on time. All the fun, music, and games should be accomplished in time. Prolonging any item may not only create an atmosphere of boredom but many of the necessary tasks might remain incomplete.
Although we all want our birthday to be the most memorable and successful if for some reason we may not celebrate according to our ways, we must not be disheartened. We must let go of small errors and enjoy fully as that is our special day.
