Bonding
“Dad! Help me here! They’re ganging up on me,” I yelled to my father as my enemies chased after me. He didn’t wait a second before running towards me and blocking those chasing me. “Hide, son, I’ll handle this,” he commanded. I quickly hid in the tall grass, filled with fear and anxiety about what might happen between my pursuers and my father.

OPINION: Creativity or Diminishing Originality?
In an era when technology pervades practically every area of our lives, academia has not been immune. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has aroused both enthusiasm and fear, especially in the realm of academic writing. Proponents say that artificial intelligence may increase productivity, improve writing quality, and provide significant insights. Critics, on the other hand, are concerned about the decline in originality, the spread of plagiarism, and the monetization of education. As AI evolves and integrates into educational settings, it is vital to critically evaluate its influence on the writing process, as well as the larger implications for scholarship and intellectual integrity.

Barbie (2023): A Refreshing and Empowering Take on a Cultural Icon
Growing up as a devoted Barbie fan, I've witnessed the evolution of Barbie movies with keen interest. Despite occasional concerns regarding beauty standards in some films, the underlying themes of confidence and female empowerment have remained commendable. Over time, Barbie movies have transitioned from depicting damsels in distress awaiting rescue to showcasing the diverse capabilities of independent women. The live-action adaptation of Barbie has further enriched this narrative, introducing greater depth and inclusivity.

Crowned in Confidence
Grooming is a process of beautifying oneself, the process mostly done every morning. Thus, hair care also becomes an integral part of this very beautiful and significant rite of passage. The hair is a personal attribute that makes a definitive statement about an individual’s persona. Be it the latest hair-cut style or an infamous hair color change or even just growing out hair, it is a way of express ourselves with our hair-top. So, impossibly sleek hair and, dare I say, stylish hats are created with the aid of those who regard our heads. Prominent among these gifted personae is Ricky “Ace” Jagong.

From PUP Icon to Rising Icon of Sustainable Fashion
By: Lorie Jean To and Betchie Villar Fashion and sustainable fashion are inextricably linked components of the style world. Conventional fashion is defined by trends and quick manufacturing, whereas sustainable fashion tackles environmental and ethical problems. It promotes ecologically friendly materials, ethical manufacturing practices, and reducing the total environmental effect of clothes. Sustainable fashion seeks to reshape the fashion narrative by promoting responsible consumerism, durability, and a holistic approach that takes into account aesthetics as well as the social and environmental effect of the whole fashion supply chain.

Intellectual Property : Using CTTO is Not Giving Credits at All
When we scroll through our social media, especially on Facebook, we often see a lot of pages owned by different people posting the same contents or pictures with a little modification, for example the watermarks or even just borders and caption it with the acronym of “CTTO” or credits to the owner. This acronym is widely used by the social media users as an alternative on acknowledging the owner with the work since it was not handy for them to find the original creator of the work. This behavior is problematic because it degrades the right of the owner to that piece since they are not even mentioned in giving credits.
