Muddy Orange, the Color of Vanity.

Are you a Tongue Twister?

Rick kick the stick last week 

Because he has a tick

This is the first tongue twister I've made in Creative Writing class. Try to read it out loud for at least 3 times. It's fun, right? And It sounds good as well. But when we look at the meaning of it, it has no sense and it is silly. I remember Ma'am Escalada said in writing a toungue twister, it doesn't need to have a meaning and sense as long it is pleasant to the ear and have rhyming words. Like the tongue twister, in this generation, known as a"Selfie Generation", most of the teens and youths spend more time enhancing their physical features and busy worrying their outside looks to please people around them and feel good about themselves rather than improving their inner selves. Like writing a tongue twister, they find ways and do what it takes to come up with a good tongue twister: they find rhyming and good words and disregard creating sense and meaning out of it. The same in real life, they will spend their money on make-ups, plastic surgeries and etc. and little by little they starting to forget molding their character and skills. Whenever I saw teens in malls and happen to pass them by and overhear their conversation, they always talk about make-ups, fashion, celebrities, facebook, selfie pictures: it all boils down to vanity. But when you try to drop by in library and bookstores, you can count them by your fingers. And It's very alarming that it might be the start of the destruction of the moral and ethics of the youth and also the real essence of being a youth. As Dr. Jose Rizal once said, "Ang kabataan ay pag asa ng bayan". How will the youth of this generation be the hope of our country having this kind of alarming situation. Beauty will last but the soul, knowledge, influence and morality will last eternally. So don't settle for the temporary things let's build and improve ourselves they way we should be. So...
