Ages of Man

   Some people say that age is just a number, isn't it? But as we grow older, certain factors such as our appearances, our attitude and perspective in life also change. There will be a certain point in our life where we will experience being young as well as  being old which greatly differs in a lot of factors. When it comes to the physical appearance, teens have fresh faces, they are strong and they are physically fit while the seniors have wrinkled faces and are weak. Young people are energetic, cheerful, fierce, happy-go-lucky and are always on the go. On the other hand, old people are lousy and are always at home. Teens have no money yet have so many things to buy while the elders have money but have nothing to buy. The youth are independent and immature while the elderly are dependent and mature. Teens have less experience in life compared to the elders. Despite all their differences, both do not have the capacity to find a job. Young people are still studying while the old ones  are too weak to work. The young and the old may have lots of significant differences but let us all accept the fact that we will all experience these two situations. And when these situations come, let us just enjoy and savor each moment because life is too short and we must make the most out of it.

Today, the enormous guns and canyons quietly sleep and the dilapidated buildings and structures still stand making it open to the public to showcase the Philippine's rich history and to give honor to the people who shed their bloods during the unatonable war. At the topside, the highest sector if the island, the ruins of the Mile long Barracks firmly stands. This three-story building is said to be the world's longest military barracks. Its dark massive structure is in contrast to the clear blue skies and green grass that surround it.  A mile away, you will find the gigantic and outmoded war equipment which played a big part defending the island. Not too far away, a Spanish whitewashed lighthouse with cross-shaped windows resides in a plaza of souvenir shops. At the middle side, you will find parks surrounded by verdant grasses and flowers that dance when the wind blows. At the bottom side is where the docks are located. The crystal clear water and the blood-tainted colored stones are popular among tourists. Built in the tail end of the island are memorials and statues of great generals and soldiers.
