Sex adventures for single women could be a problem

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Sex is excitingly dangerous (adventure) if taken outside the context of marriage. Sodomy (same-sex) is the leading transmission means for HIV-AIDS in the world by 70% to 90%, followed by fornication (sex before marriage) and adulterous sexual intercourse. Dangerous sex activities are not a necessity to human survival or to greater happiness. The converse is instead true.

It's either we keep tolerating these 'normalized' practices and we'd end up in a degenerate society....or begin tolerating an antiquated mentality and we'll never see some progress in society.

Progress is fine, but we could end up like ancient Rome if y'all keep normalizing everything.

It's not even antiquated. We believe in change, but if we're talking about fundamentally changing here, it's a slow burn process.

If you keep changing and changing it will remain incosistent until society falls apart.

We need something to hold onto. Delaying gratification leads to anything than failure.

It's not always warm and fuzzies and "do what you want and makes you happy" There are some things beyond sex, money and power. The one that actually lasts for a lifetime, and it requires a lot.

We COULD be better, as a society we could make it better by overcoming our failure and short comings as an individual. B that we're changing our state collectively.

Society doesnt see it both ways (equal perception of man and woman). This issue is only juicy if it is about a woman knowing what she wants and going after it. You dont see reactions (like the guy’s above) or articles about men and their whorehouses now do we? or articles about men (or boys) looking for hookups? and if promiscuity is the problem of ancient Rome or Pompeii; then why hasnt the world burnt up in flames yet? Prostitution is the oldest trade in the book. Men have been patronizing it since time immemorial.

Bottom line, if a woman is single, responsible in her ‘adventures’, and if that is what she wants; thats fine. If she feels like it's taking over her life, then it becomes a problem. But that is her problem. not everyone elses. 

If you're single, go ahead and enjoy the heck out if it. Things to be cautious about:

- a lot of men lie about their relationship status (kunwari single)

- please have yourself checked on a quarterly basis since you're very active. Free testing in Love Yourself Inc clinics.

- be careful with Covid since it's still pandemic

- birth control (condoms is really important but you can add pills or whatnot since condoms is not 100% effective)

- don't be shy in asking health and sexual activities/history of your partners. (Kahit wag mo na tandaan pangalan, importante safe. Haha. Charot.)

- if first time meeting someone lalo na gabi, inform someone. Take pic of the car or license plate if you must. Para if mawala ka at least may suspect agad.

PHLPost landscapes historic Manila Central Post Office Building

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) landscapes the historic Manila Central Post Office Building, transforming its public space into a vibrant, eco-friendly and sustainable government center.

PHLPost said that the greening of the Post Office building helps connect its employees and the public with nature and raises environmental consciousness and appreciation.

The presence of green spaces can enhance the health and wellbeing of people working in cities.

It somehow relieves anxiety, level of stress and improves creativity and productivity.

The Manila Central Post Office Building has been declared an “Important Cultural Property” by the National Museum. It is still considered the grandest building and most prominent landmark and tourist attraction in the City of Manila.

This neo-classical building was inaugurated in 1931, known then as the “Bureau of Posts” which was designed by the famous Filipino architect Juan Arellano. The Post Office Building was built as a modern colonial architecture, an example of a perfect neo-classical monument.

Aside from the Manila Central Post Office Building, Arellano also designed the Manila Metropolitan Theater and the old legislative building (National Museum).

Urban green spaces can also help reduce pollution and improve air quality.

New Directions Digital Art 2021: Negros

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Negros Season of Culture is an initiative to showcase the artistry of Negros Occidental. A province in the central Philippines, Negros Occidental has produced an incredible amount of artists that have enjoyed critical as well as commercial success at home and abroad. In celebration of the National Commission of the Culture and the Arts’s National Arts Month, the NSC is proud to showcase three amazing young artists from Negros Occidental.

These three artists are featured by the Negros Season of Culture as they discover, explore, and even pioneer areas in art and design during one of the largest global pandemics in history.

Faye Abantao, Daryl Feril, and Christoph Sagemuller have more in common than being Negrenses. These three artists graduated within years of each other from La Consolacion College in Bacolod City, the capital city of Negros Occidental. They are young, dynamic artists who, due to their schooling, have a grounded foundation in the fine arts but have branched out, experimented with, and are now using new and exciting media for their art. They are also the farthest thing from the stereotype of the starving artist.

Abantao, Feril, and Sagemuller are successful both critically and commercially. They each have several exhibitions under their belts. Their art pieces and designs command interest not just from private collectors but from Fortune 500 companies. They represent a new wave of artists from a place that has always celebrated and supported the arts.

They are also at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the current Information Age and the nascent Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Internet is used as a source for research as well as ways to communicate with people all over the world. Digital tools, virtual and real, are used to create pieces of art for commercial and aesthetic pursuits. Their reach covers the entire country to as far as South Korea and the United States of America, a feat that one argues could have only been possible for three young artists who just graduated from a local provincial college in the Age of the Internet. 

Digital Art defies limitations traditional art has in its reach. A global pandemic may close galleries and museums and limit patrons, buyers, and art lovers from enjoying or buying artwork. However, an artist whose work is in virtual space does not share those limitations.

The prevalence of digital tools in people’s phones and computers, the ease with which they can be used has given rise to not only a new generation of artists but a new kind of artist. An artist who may not have ever even seen a tube of oil paint or an actual paintbrush, one whose portfolio exists entirely in the cloud, one whose studio and gallery are located in a hard drive somewhere. Just as charcoal had given way to paints, there is a new medium and artists who are making use of it.

Abantao, Feril, and Sagemuller are the first of many who personify the new direction that art and the artists are shaping themselves into in this new millennium. They speak a whole new language, one that is an amalgamation of traditional and the digital. Their works are unmistakable international in scope and appeal yet undeniably Negrense at heart.

One could say, it is a change of the seasons.
