A BEAUTIFUL DISASTER
Taal Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines. Located in the province of Batangas which is not far from the capital city Manila.
The beauty of Taal Volcano captured the heart of the people not only from the Philippines but also around the world. Taal is also known as "a lake within a lake" from which is the volcano is within a lake and the crater itself is also a lake. For the past decades, Taal was silent from its last eruption which was in 1977. Just like Taal Volcano everyone that surrounds it is silent and making Taal a tourist spot from its unique form and beautiful scenery. Everything is going well until the silence broke.
Last January 12, 2020, the sleeping volcano awakened without a warning. The beautiful scenery turned into a disaster. From the day of the awakening, Taal Volcano changes the place from where smiles and laughter are formed into sorrow and sadness. Many of the residents lost their way of living, belongings and hope for a peaceful year at once. Never would have imagined that a picture-perfect scenery will change the way people think and live their lives after so many decades of silence from Taal Volcano.
As of now The Philippine Institute of Volcanology also known as PHIVOLCS is still on watch for Taal Volcano's state.

NATURE WE'VE LOST
Nature is a beautiful gift from heaven. You can experience greatness and disappointment. Every day we live our lives as nature does. Waking up with the beauty of nature that most of us neglected. We only realize the true beauty of nature when we first saw it and don't see it anymore. Every single day our lives change from what we do and what we have done. The decision we make every day affect our daily lives. Like nature, we have great and sad moments.
We often imagine and say I want to go back from where we are before where we can have sweet fresh air, birds singing and fireflies glow at night. Just like what we imagine people only remember how great Earth is when we lost what we have or we are being reminded of what we used to have.
Hopefully, most of us will care about our beautiful planet Earth the way we care about how we feel and remember all the good things we received from God.
