'Among Us': Three Life Lessons to Learn

By: Tristan Jay Pinca

Quezon City, Philippines

These past few days, you might have read posts and memes about the game "Among Us" in different social media platforms. Among Us is a high-rated, multiplayer game released by InnerSloth. It is a game where 4 to 10 persons can play in an online or local server. It is all about trust, betrayal and survival. In this article, I will tell you three life lessons I have learned playing this game.


1. Trust no one.

Since this game is between crewmates' and impostors' triumph, lying is inevitable. As a crewmate, you should not trust anyone easily. Every player in the game can be a liar, but evidence does not lie. Do not rely too much on your gut feeling as it is not always correct. Play this game like your life is as not easy as trusting your instincts. Play your life with planned strategies and backup plans.


2. Never give up.

As a crewmate, always do your tasks. You may die in the earlier part of the game, but never give up. You still have a chance to finish your tasks — even as a ghost. These tasks will help you succeed in the end. Remember, if you fall twice, then stand up thrice.


3. Thumbs down for lies and inaccuracy.

Your lies and inaccuracy will never give you a good result; lead you to lose the game of life. As a crewmate, you are responsible to your words and actions, therefore, you must give accurate statement. You may have a good intention on giving your testimony, but it is not helpful if it is imprecise. You may risk someone's career or worse, end somebody's life.


With these three life lessons, you should download and play "Among Us" right now. Trust my words: I am not an impostor. I swear!

Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre

  Here is to Those Who Think They Are Just Mediocre By Gabrielle A. Palma Just average . Terms that are usually coined with our names. Not actually digging deeper to the struggles and successes beyond the hands that overwork, mind that overthinks and heart that over-understands. Surviving in a setting where everyone is fed up with such high expectations. People often perceive any work should come out best, if not, better. We always tend to unconsciously neglect what is just good. Because honestly, sometimes it gets tiring to overachieve when you know for a fact that it is not always a matter of exceeding something but just being enough.  To those who think they are mediocre, you are not. You are just waiting for the moment—your right time, your right place, and your right path. Sometimes, the booze and galore in every drink just do not make sense and make the situation even more chaotic. It is okay to just pour a little bit and then just fill it again when empty.  To thos...

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos By: Gabrielle A. Palma   Stinking smell that lingers in the nose as the tears are dripping rapidly from the eyes. The heart is slowly shattering as the feet unhurriedly walk towards the awful corner. In her arms, there lies an existence—a wonderful one. Yet vanishes and expires as she rests it on the surface. Drifted away and suddenly, “Ay! Tae ng kalabaw.” Stepped on the disgusting thing coated with nasty guilt. Beside, is a child—abandoned and forgotten.  Living in a twisted system ruled by various oppressors, life of the poor in the Philippines, is indeed a deprived one. Leaving every decision and fate with no choice, but to pull everything about them just to survive even if it means scratching a part of their dignity and principle.  This is where the circumstance of child abandonment enters the discourse lay upon the table. As the pressing issues continue to surge such as poverty that leads to a financial problem, broken marriage, and te...

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE? By: Wei Won People may laugh at you along the way, People may refuse to help you because they believe that you cannot return the help they’ll give, People may humiliate you for being nobody, People may treat you like you did wrong to them, People may pull you down, You may feel drowning in a part of a sea where no one else is able to help you, Your relatives may don’t consider you as their relative,  Your friends might lose their interest in you, You may lose your loved one, You may feel despondent, You may engulf by darkness, You may want to end your life,  You may want to give up, But before you do that, you need to read this! Dark moments in life are inevitable and that’s normal - we all go through that way. You are not alone in this battle, again, you are not alone.
