Shutter life of Jazz

I am impatient. Most people who know me personally can attest to this. I may seem quiet and cool but I always pour out my frustrations to those who understand me. Anyway, I try my very best every time. Slowly, I have learned to follow many ways on how to control my anger. First, I acknowledge the emotion by mentioning it out loud. "I'm starting to feel angry."   Whenever I say this to the person I'm talking to, they automatically stop talking. This also helps me breathe and think things through.

The views that I write here are entirely mine and I do not wish to bad mouth and/or promote any of the things I mention here. First, let me tell you the general view of most people. Many of the people I know are against zoos. This is because the idea of putting animals away from their natural habitat is unacceptable. Animals ...

Davao is a city in Mindanao that is the home of many great things from the Philippines. The urban life here is special and it cannot be compared to any other cities in the country. Here is a list of reasons why I think Davao is a place that you should not miss when in the Philippines. 1. Child-friendly destinations (The Philippine Eagle Foundation and Davao Crocodile Park and Zoo) The Philippine Eagle Foundation is dedicated to save and protect not only Eagles but also all other wildlife that are currently endangered. They also vow to protect the habitats of these creatures, especially Mt. Apo, the tallest mountain in the Philippines which can also be found in here in Davao. The sanctuary can be visited by tourists and locals and they are also open to those who are interested in sharing their time and love to animals by volunteering. You can check out more details about this in their official website ( https://www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/ ). You can even try adopting an a...
