In every generations there will always be an innovative design added to people's ways of living--

wherein technology and fashion-trends have paved its way to be the most important highlights of the
world's continuous changes. Infact, some of the things which had become popular in the 19th and 20th
century were transient, and somehow, different from what is conventional to our present era, the 21st
century; where glamour and new will always be the corps d'elite to almost everyone, neglecting that it
might transcend cultural boundaries and debilitate religious beliefs.

It's always good to be with up-to-date and be the world's progressive changes as it is natural and
inevitable. Besides, it bears positive impact on the development of our society. Even so, based on the
aforementioned facts even our, tausug, cultural conservativeness has gradually been impaired by this
evolution suchlike: the kind of apparels we wear, foods we eat, ideas and attitudes we depict, and even
our tradition and religious practices have changed. This because we adhere too much on the temptation
of what is new.

Frankly speaking, We are very fanatic of imitating other countries' styles. We exceed in the sense, we
begin to enculturate everything we see on social media which indeed, are not, and will never be
applicable for us because we have our own set of standards. Moreover, because of our desires to be
look-like with those people in trendy such as: Varicolored hair styles, korean oppa; almost naked
clothes, like of those models of a certain magazine; and the likes, we dare to cross the line that is
forbidden for us even if this means committing heinous crime to our religion and culture.

In retrospect, our tausug fore-fathers' dread of happening has now been taking place; that the
future's tausug generations would be defied by cultural influences propagated by other countries; that
they would embrace everything what foreigners offer to them. Much worst is they would even forget
who they really are.

In spite of that, it's not, if we may use the word bad, to idolize people whom we think we adore with.
It's psychologically normal, of course, we're just human. Nevertheless, not necessarily mean we have to
transmogrify our identity in order to be like with them. Just love our own. Above all, we should always
remember that everything has its limitation, and every limitation should not be over stepped, because
anything that is too much is not good.

Sort of reminders.
