Some of us are what Joker calls as "schemers", people who plan ahead checking now and then that their plans are on track and will be able to attain their target in the desired time. During family reunions in my younger years, i would receive cash gifts from every aunt, uncle, and grand parents. During those years, I would be planning ahead on buying toy or a game right after our family reunion. So, for those short span of years, I'm content with my life(or so I thought). As the years passed, and I grew older(just like everybody does), those gifts disappeared one by one, slowly but surely. During those times, disappointment crept in. The feeling of an empty pocket after a reunion was devastating for a kid like me. As an elementary kid, it felt like the world was being unfair to me.

Enter highschool. Well, guess what? This little fool didn't learn. I still planned ahead of everything. At my young age, I was already making a plan of how my whole life ahead of me would run. I was on my sophomore years(about the age of 13), If all went well, I'll be graduating a 4-yr degree course with the young age of 19 and have hopefully landed a job before I turn 20. Nice plan eh? Unfortunately, none of it, ever happened. I'm already 21 and is still in college. So, what went wrong?

As I look back to the events that happened, I realized that, everything happens with a purpose. This purpose is there, it's just that we don't realize it yet. How could I say these things? As I was a kid, there are a lot of things that I did not understand, or should I say, declined to understand. As I grew both in age, maturity and experience in life. I found out how basic those principles were, and seeing my younger classmates today, they seem to be unable to comprehend, yet. But they sure will.

Now, back to the subject. Why do we have have to face disappointments?Is it a necessity? Or is it a lesson that everybody needs to learn? Many of us find the answer to this question the hard way. There was a quote in an anime series I watched. It says,

"Your arrogance leads to despair."

Now, why arrogance? We people try to always plan ahead, thinking that everything will go according to the plan. What we do not realize is that there so many things that could go wrong. So many things that may affect our plan: finance, events in our life, relationships, change of location, stability of the nation and many more. The list can go on and on.

If we love to plan ahead, we should also learn how to have a plan B. A backup a plan. Or should we rather call it a reaction, a defense mechanism. When we fall back to square one. A time when we have to start from scratch. Some call this preparedness, adaptation. We should learn how to adapt to scenarios depending on what life throws to us. In the end, it boils down to one question, are you prepared?

Many critics say that the previous election has been a big leap for our country. It was our first ever automated elections. Many of the people believe that the the new process helped provided a truthful and accurate count of the votes. But some still believe that it was another workaround to fool the people.



On the other hand, I would say that even with the mishaps here and there, it was still an overall success. Many commentators as well mentioned that the automation process was a sign of change for our country. Coincidentally, the candidate who won the presidency advocated 'PAGBABAGO' or change. Great! But isn't this what everybody promises and longs for? Then what is change? What kind of change should we be searching for? And if we find it, will this satisfy our urge?

There is a saying, "that the only constant thing is change".

If we really think about it, change certainly is everywhere. From clothing, food, technology, fashion, policies, diplomacy, territories. Even our landscape, the world is in a constant battle with change. Did you know that even glass 'flows'? Glass? Yes, glass flows. Although it's very slow at the moment is measured by the thousands of an inch, it still flows(I'm not kidding, you can Google it if you want). It flows so slow that it would take thousands of years before the human eye could spot the difference. Technological advances in for the past half century has been astounding, some even say that it was an explosion of new ideas that the human race has even imagined.

So, now, we have proof that change is everywhere. If change is constant, then why are we still searching for change? Most of the time, we say that we want the world to change. Why do we need it to change? Can we force the world to change? Or should we initiate change from within us?

If we look back to our Socials classes and ask what is the basic unit of society, we get back to the family. My point is that if we want everything around us to change, shouldn't we start within the most basic? The family. Which includes us as individuals.

Now, most of the politicians advocate change, most of us as well. The real deal here is what kind of change are we supposed to long for? Are we just content that there is just a change from our normal cycle of everyday life? Shouldn't look for change for the betterment of not only of ourselves, our family and the community? Or we are just selfishly thinking about what changed would benefit ourselves?

A lot of people out there are blaming everybody else for their current situation, but have we even had tried thinking that our current situation is caused by the choices that we have made or not made? I can't quite remember who, but I could clearly remember what she said,

"Our life is the result of an accumulation of all the choices we made".

For me, that statement would be applicable only for those people who are capable of making a choice. For me, everybody(except from infants, people who are in a comma, people who were acutely mentally impaired since born, and others that we know of) can make a decision, a decision to change either for better or for worse.

We are the authors of the book of our lives, change is naturally within us. Our life alone is a long line of constant change. It's constant, it's inevitable. So what choice kind of change are we heading in to?
