My Entry for #GLOBEProjectWonderful2014

Christmas has just passed and we've all given or received gifts. Parties and events started to decrease.

My hope and spirit is still high and my smiles have not faded.

As we all go back to our respective daily routines, Our everyday lives encourages us to never stop the spirit of giving.

Now is our time to give it back.

So, if you could give back to the community, the country, to anyone within your reach, what is it that you'd like to give back? My answer - I would like to build a farm where I can give food to those in need.

Type of Farm: Rice, Crops, Herbs and Vegetables
Goal: To feed as many people as possible
Reason: Food is the most basic need of human Location: Cavite or Bulacan Unit: 100 hectares or more Timeline: Before Summer

I'm sharing these things I want to give back/things I have in mind. This is my entry for #GLOBEProjectWonderful2014.

Farmville and My Mom

We used to live in the province, life there was simple. My family is very happy, we eat, pray and love together. We have a small farm , we plant fruits and vegetables. Especially my mom, among all she has the time to plant crops. She really likes planting. She has a nice figure because she has an active lifestyle. Planting was her exercise. Somehow she becomes busy by doing that. Despite of that she makes sure that she can give time to us.

We are now staying in Manila , life here is pressure and full of tension. There's no farm anymore. It was hard to adjust. We were introduced to internet technology. Everyday my mom plays farmville, she is online 24/7. She has no time for us anymore, all she does is planting crops, then harvest when needed. She gained weight so much. And she was so absorbed by the future. I am worrying about her already, she behaves differently. From the day she learned farmville, she gave almost all of her time there.

Future communication technology promotes danger. The more it gives comfort, the more it becomes risky. Yes it makes work faster, but it brings suffering in return. It is still recommended to engage in offline activities wherein there is interaction. Awareness is important. It's a feeling where presence creates a big factor.
