Thoughts of Change

The odds are great when it comes to a small person like me–trying to make any impact in my country, when I barely can do something for my local community. I always wondered how a little unimportant voice could be heard by people around him, or eventually by the world until I realized one thing that not only I have noted, but also by thousand of other youths from South East Asia.

There are times when it takes more people in line with your concerns and interests to be heard by others. Yet it takes even more people to get people of higher authority help you out with your concerns and interests. But, it takes even more people, actually, everyone to achieve something, that we here are trying to achieve, which is change. Positive change to be exact, change that would please not only the majority, but all of the people.

The day we’ve all said Yes to change marks a big day for all the people in South East Asia, a step that means progress and enhancement in our region because we are in charge, the said future of the planet and of our respective countries, we, the youth of the South East.

It’s always special to note events that are driven by the younger people of the ages like ours, because whatever we do comes from the heart, and is as much as possible not manipulated by the brainwashing of politicians and the elderly people of our respective nations. The Youth of today looks dedicated for change, not only within the national walls we live in, but in our region, and eventually in the world, but how do we achieve this?

For me, what I care most about is ourselves, how we change ourselves, our lifestyle, our attitude and how we look at life and the people around us. We can’t move on and change the face of the world, when we can’t change our very own unique worlds that we live in. Problems are everywhere, even within your direct family, and if you can’t cope with them, how will you cope and carry the load of the world?

I care most about how the young ones look at themselves, what they are thinking about the future, and what they want for their future. I think, the best step forward to insert positive change in our present day communities is by informing the generation even younger than ours about it and getting them involved in activities for change.

I’m not saying that we’re not in the need of the guidance of elderly people, like the World Leaders that come together this Youth Engagement Summit, but I guess it’s time that we’ll get a first hand experience about how to deal with change and make it really happen.

Because if we’ll never do, if we’ll never truly understand the meaning, importance and purpose of introducing positive change in our countries, then there’s no really essence and importance to saying YES to change.

Let’s all start by changing ourselves, before we point at other people. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll get step closer at a peaceful and greener world.

Youth Engagement Summit 2009

This coming November will be the South East Asian Youth Engagement Summit in K.L. Read what kind of change Filipino Teens want for South East Asia and their country.

A while ago, I received an email from someone who is working for the South East Asian Youth Movement. Being a teen site, of which objective has been to promote change in the Filipino Youth, we’re proudly to inform you that we’re supporting the said event, and are encouraging all of you to take part in this coming South East Asian Youth Engagement summit to be held this coming November.

The objective might not show, but Pinoy Teens has always been the site with the objective to promote change to the Filipino Youth, while at the same time providing entertainment and topics in line with the interest of the Filipino Youth. It has been much entertainment these past weeks, so, along with the YES 2009 summit, we’ll be emphasizing the real essence of our existence and strengthen our promotion for change in the Philippines and in the South East Asian Youth Community.

We at Pinoy Teens look forward to a youth that is enlightened by the mistakes that our elderly citizen have committed, so that we won’t repeat them. We aim to have every children in South East Asia to be educated. We hope that peace will finally enter the hearts of every citizen of our region. Personally, I’d like to be enlightened by the mistakes of others. I want to live a simple life, having less so that more people can have more. I want to live a life that makes other people live their lives more easier.

What kind of change do you want for your country? For yourself? For South East Asia?
