Climax, where are you?

Climax, where are you?

         The play A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's written play. It is about a dream which happened in the time of a midsummer. It is truly remarkable and one of the best comedy story ever written in the history of mankind. It had a genre was comedy at the same time romance and was somewhat magical. This is somehow different from other Shakespearean plays.

          For the people who have read this, you might think that there's no deep conflict so there's no climax at all. But the truth is, in every story or even movies, there should always be a climax. So the question is, what is the climax of the play entitled, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?

          For me, the climax would be the part when Puck had put a love juice at the eyelids of both Demetrius

and Lysander. They both fell in love with Helena which made Hermia worry and become confused on what is happening. Lysander and Demetrius fought with each other for Helena, but Hermia and Helena fought also.

          I thought that this was the climax because these scenes were very exciting for me, and it was the turning point of the story, and it was close to the ending.

Prayer is Not Just for Ourselves

Prayer is Not Just for Ourselves

 

 

Oh God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth

Who protects us from evil, see what is happening

All the things You created with lots of love and care,

Are being destroyed by humans which You have trusted.

Lord, Sorry for all of our mistakes,

I know we often disappoint You,

We always say sorry, but we never change,
Forgive us one last time, to save Mother Earth.

Lord, I thank You for all the blessings You have given us

You gave us the things we wanted, and people who we love.
I thank You for protecting us all,
But I thank You more, for guiding us.

Lord, I am wishing You to protect us,
Now that we are experiencing these storms,
We are all suffering in lots of crisis,
But it hurts me seeing people in danger.

This is a prayer that I made for You,
I hope this can help even just one man.
These calamities can be prevented,

But we are still depending this on You.

The Easiest Way to Forgive is to Forget

The Easiest Way to Forgive is to Forget

     They say that there are many ways to forgive people. Some take revenge because the pain is too deep to be forgiven easily. Some retain the sins in their minds 'til they die. But for me, the easiest way is to forget. To forget the sins because to tell the truth, you can't really change the past and you can't go back in time. So, just forget and you will soon learn to forgive.

     Some of us might have already experienced this, even me. I experienced this even when I was an elementary student, some of my classmates would say something that would really hurt my feelings. On the first week I always remember it and I just feel angry but I can't do anything about it, because I know if I try to make revenge, it would just make the situation worse. So I realized that if they won't apologize to me, I will just forget that they did something wrong to me, and sometimes I would just pray to God that help me become stronger in this situations and help to forgive people better. 

     From then on, I always think of "It's best that I just forget what they did, it's the easiest way to forgive them.", and I became a better man and a better person because of these words of wisdom.

Studies or Sports?

Studies or Sports?

     Sometimes, something would just come in my mind that what if I were to choose from being an academically advanced student but not that sporty, or being sporty but not academically advanced. I just don't answer it in my mind and do something else. But this time, I would like to choose, and for me, I want to be someone who is balanced being an academically advanced student, at the same time, a sporty person.

     I try to study hard and I try to understand lessons which I really need to study. But studying does not mean you will forget being an active person in terms of sports. This last Intrams of our school, I proved that I can be good at some of my lessons and good at some of our sports. I proved that I can balance my time in studying and in being a sporty person. I didn't want to be a person to be bullied around and called a "wimp" if I focus only on my studies, and I don't want to be called someone who is good at sports but has nothing to say when it comes on academics. So I proved that I can balance this two things in my life.

     October 1996
To Marjie,
I am not surprise or wander why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think about but you're very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me to his toy but sooner and later I'm realize that he really can't not beared or stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not stand you're habit of making pakialam all his walks (lakad) and always calling to their house what he go home or this or that.

And then he say he get ashame to me either in school or in his family and then asking you to exercise you're very very, very fat body. But you hate it. Thought you're the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are "BeautifulGirl" of Jose Mari Chan?

Even you are beautiful face (to your think) you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else difference name one time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because I'm never call you names either in the front of Dennis or in the backs of Dennis, but if you start already to calling me different name, I don't have any other choice but to call you other different name to. Like you are a PIG, FAT, OBESSED, OVERWIGHT, AND UGLY SHAPE girl. Shame to you're body that is to a BUDING.

You can't not blame Dennis for exchanging you to me because I am the more sexier that you when you look to us in the mirror. I'm repeat again that you are like Ike Lozada when she is a girl.

Love,
The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.

   You say that I’m the bad breathe but who is Dennis Want to kissed Me or you? And the final is Me. There you go.

The following is a letter found at a certain bar in Manila and has been preserved in its original, unedited form. Enjoy reading and may you try direct translation in Tagalog. Please read with feelings.

October 1996        

                          To Marjie,

                                    I am neither surprised nor wondered why Dennis left you. Why? 

because of your fat body. Before, I thought that Dennis used me as his toy,later, I realized that he can't bear to be with you anymore. First, Dennis says that he couldn't stand your habit of meddling with what he is doing with his life and phoning him whenever he's at home.

                                   He told me he is ashamed to be with you at school or in front of his family. He is also asking you to exercise and lose some weight. You think you're the prettiest girl he knows. Who do you think you are, Jose Mari Chan's " Beautiful Girl " ?

                                  Even if you 'think' you're beautiful, you don't have the right to call me names, because I never call you names whether Dennis' back is turned or not. But if you do call me by such names, I have no other choice but to do the same. I'll call you names such as pig, fat, obese, overweight, and poorly-shaped girl. Shame on you for being such a fat-ass.
                                 You can't blame Dennis for choosing me over you because I have the sexier body. I repeat, you look just like Lozada when he was a girl.

Love,                            

The sexiest Girl of D.M

P.S.

        You said that I have a bad breathe, but I'm the one who Dennis wanted to kiss. There you go.

Reaction:

        At first, I thought that this letter was supposed to be somewhat a joke, but as I read the letter, I figured out that she was very serious and I felt that she was so proud speaking in her letter. As I read her letter, sometimes I just want to laugh but I realized that I'm not perfect in grammar so I just try to understand her. After typing her letter, I realized that if my grammar would be this bad, I will be embarrassed to the ones who will read my letter. So, I somewhat told myself that before I say or write something, I must double check my grammar and even the use of my words and especially my spelling.

Now or Never

      

     "To Be or Not To Be? - That is the Question" was a famous line by Hamlet who is a character of a story "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. This line is one of the most famous lines in English which for me, means it's now or never. Well, this often happens to each and everyone of us without us noticing it.

     This can happen to us in any place and in any time. But for me, this often happens in our school. One example is by simply having classes, whenever our teacher calls for a recitation, I often think twice about answering and I will often be not called because some of my classmates raised their hands earlier than me. Sometimes, events occur at our school, I often refuse to join activities which I will regret because this activities can pull up my grades but I will just let it pass through me. 

     These are the events that for me, can be related to the famous line by Hamlet. Sometimes, I get the chance, but sometimes, I get to never doing something that I should have accepted to do. Regrets just come to me and I just try to forget and try to move on.

Blogging or Writing?

Blogging or Writing?

    A blog is a contraction of the words web log. It is a discussion or informational site published on the word wide web and consisting of discrete entries or posts typically displayed in reverse chronological order. While writing is a form of written speech or more broadly language used in a textual medium through a set of signs or symbols.

     In this year, our third year in Cavite National Science High School, we were asked to make blogs for our informal theme by our teacher in English. We were all excited but a bit nervous because it will be our first to make blogs as informal themes. For me, I felt a bit boring because I never really liked writing. When our teacher gave us our first blog, my classmates were all excited and were ready to make their blogs at home, but I wasn't very excited because blogging was never really my favorite.

     When it was time for me to make my blog, I started thinking for a title of my blog. As I go on typing my first blog, I wasn't really bored at all. In fact, I was getting entertained by blogging, so I finished my first blog happily. My feelings for blogging and writing began to change, I loved blogging rather than writing.

     Whenever our teacher gives our blog, I was one of our class to be excited because for me, it was a new challenge to make a somewhat different blog but would be worth reading. I liked blogging because I can be able to use the technology around us with something useful. And it was easier because I can just instantly edit my blog instead in writing, I have to erase and can sometimes ruin my writing. I can also put pictures in my blog that would make my blog even more creative and more attractive. So for me, I really liked blogging instead of writing.
