Over-population In The Philippines (Cause and Effect)

The Philippines is already experiencing over-population. Our country is one of the most over-populated country. It is the 12th most over-populated country in the whole world. Many of the people here in the Philippines, especially teenagers, are engaged in prostitution and pre-marital sex, which is two of the most common causes of over-population.
Over-population is existing and increasing because also of poverty. Many of the female teenagers nowadays tend to sell "themselves" just for money, so that they will be able to have something for their expenses, and in some cases, for their school fees and/or their families. In fact, because of these things Philippines is also starting to suffer from some diseases, such as, AIDS, STD, HIV, and also malnutrition - only common to some parts or provinces of the Philippines.

Our Time Is Up (Movie Review)

The movie is all about a psychiatrist who sticks to his everyday routine. He is a very organized person that he always see to it that his "things" are all in place and organized.
In the movie, it is shown how he consults different kinds of people who has different personalities and has different traumas and problems in life. At first, he talked to them one by one and let each and every one of them share what are their problems, and what they are afraid of. On the second consultation that the psychiatrist conducted, he actually let the people face their fears. He did some activities that would help his patients overcome their traumas, and some treatment (conversation) and sharing of his personal insights and suggestions.
The movie is somehow comedy. It is funny because of the way the psychiatrist treated his patients, and how each and everyone of them reacted. At the end, all his patients thanked him for his effort and patience that he dedicated for them. Because also of his patients, he learned and realized that he has already no "room" for himself. He changed and did things the other way around. He did things on what he is comfortable with, not anymore following his everyday routine.
