Literary Friday l The Amazing Adventure of a Brave Fisherman

Once upon a time, in a small village near the ocean, there lived a kind and brave fisherman who loved his family and friends dearly. By day, he worked in a furniture shop, creating beautiful things with his hands. By night, he sailed the seas to catch fish for his family's dinner.

One evening, a sudden storm rolled in, and the fisherman's boat was caught in strong winds and towering waves. The engine failed, and water began pouring in. The fisherman and his friend were terrified, but they refused to give up. They bailed water from the boat and waited, hoping for rescue.

Just when it seemed all hope was lost, a kind stranger set out to find them in another boat. But it was too dark to see, and they had to wait until morning. When the sun finally rose, the fisherman spotted an island in the distance. Using his raincoat as a makeshift sail, he steered the boat toward the shore.

Upon reaching the island, the fisherman jumped off and waited for his friend to follow. Exhausted and hungry, they were simply grateful to be alive. Soon, a kind old woman discovered them and brought them to the village elder, who welcomed them warmly.

The elder offered them food, clean clothes, and a place to rest. When the fisherman mentioned his carving skills, the elder's eyes lit up. She asked if he would create a wooden playground for the island’s children. The fisherman was delighted by the idea and saw it as an opportunity to bring joy to others.

With his skilled hands, the fisherman built a beautiful playground. It featured a wooden pirate ship, swings, and slides. The island's children were overjoyed and played there happily every day. The fisherman felt proud of what he had created and knew he had made a meaningful difference.

After a few days, the fisherman and his friend returned home, where they received a hero's welcome. Their neighbors were thrilled to see them safe, and everyone spoke of the miracle of their return. The fisherman’s family was overjoyed, and together they celebrated with laughter and big smiles.

The story of the brave fisherman reminds us that life is full of unexpected challenges and adventures. But with determination, resourcefulness, kindness, and a positive attitude, we can overcome any obstacle—and maybe even create something wonderful along the way.

This is more than just a story to read; it's a story to tell and pass down through generations. It’s a story the fisherman would one day share with his daughter, who wasn’t even born when he faced the storm—a reminder of the adventures he had and the lessons he learned.

"There is no greater nation on earth than our Motherland. No greater people than our own. Serve them with all your heart, with all your might and with all your strength.” - Ninoy Aquino

Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.'s assassination
became a defining moment in the Filipino resistance to Martial Law. He stood as an enduring symbol of courage, openly opposing oppression, abuses of power, and infringements on human rights.

His action is a reminder that even in adversity, one person can make a difference. May we embody his ideals, stand for what is right, and contribute to a better future for our nation. Let us reflect on Ninoy's courage and commitment to justice.

“You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life.” – Joan Miro

One click can hold a thousand emotions. A photograph isn’t just an image—it’s a memory, a feeling, a story frozen in time.

From the glow of a sunset to the laughter of friends, or even life’s little surprises, photography reminds us that every moment is worth remembering.

Celebrate the beauty of captured moments. Happy World Photography Day! 📷

The opening of a new semester at Aklan State University is like turning the first page of a compelling novel. We stand at the threshold of fresh narratives, where each course represents a chapter brimming with potential. Students— the protagonists of their own academic journeys— step forward with anticipation, ready to explore uncharted territories of knowledge.

Let us embrace this initial week with open minds and a thirst for discovery, setting the stage for a semester filled with growth and enlightenment.

From the quiet corners of the library to the lively discussions in the classrooms, ASU provides a rich backdrop for intellectual exploration. May this week serve as a prologue to a semester where every lesson learned adds depth and richness to our individual stories.

May we reflect on the shared experience of embarking on a new academic year. The spirit of ASU shines brightly— encouraging us to embrace challenges and celebrate successes. Let's carry this enthusiasm forward, fostering a community of learners and thinkers alike.

Here's to a semester of growth, connection, and the continued writing of remarkable stories within the walls of Aklan State University!
