An Illustrious work

           As we all know that Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the history of art. Some of us are still finding those mysteries behind this art work. The painting has achieved its continually being as a topic of the news in the world. The painting shows also a woman looking at the viewer of it with an inscrutable smile.

            Leonardo da Vinci is a famous painter also who painted Mona Lisa in 1503 and completed it three or four years later. The painting was figured out by describing it as a kind of mythic embodiment of eternal femininity. Where does this title come? Actually “mona” means “my lady” is equivalent to “madam”. It is read as Monna Lisa.

            Why many of us still wants to know the mystery behind the painting? It’s because of the appreciation of the viewer to the painting. They want to know more about it, anything even though it’s more than a single. Art is not eternal. Each painting of us is created by means of emotion, the place where you do it. It’s just like searching  the biography of a historical person for you know where he/she lives, what he/she does and hi/her culture. When creating a painting, he/she strictly focus of what the painting means.

            There are many mysteries behind Mona Lisa including a single brush stroke in the eyebrow, lace on Mona Lisa’s dress, a change in the position of the left index and middle finger. The blanket covering Mona Lisa’s knees also covers her stomach, the left finger was not completely finished and others.
            All of this was put into one artwork. It more probable that Mona Lisa and Leonardo da Vinci had a special affinity with each other and he could make this person in a circuitous way. All of this can be revealed that can change the world of art.                                                                                                           

Just A Magnificent person I met

          A way back from 1879, I met a special friend while I was playing with my other friends in our backyard. I saw him sitting on a bench and I think he’s waiting for someone. But he always likes to spend time only by himself. He doesn't like to socialize with others but I tried to talk with him. He is my exceptional friend I ever met although he is shy from us.

            One day I planned to go to their house. I asked his parents about him and they allowed us to go outside and spent the whole day with me. They want also their son meet many friends and hangout with others so he will not be shy anymore. We’re having fun even though we spend a short time only. We played hide and seek. Bought what we want and tease other friends with him. I very happy when I saw he smiles a lot now not like past days.

            He’s a very obedient son to his parents. Since he was born his father saw his potential in searching or knowing about a thing that he wants to know. I wondered that he will become a famous person when we grow up. We studied hard and we finished are education. After that, I was amazed of his skills and talent. He can do anything he wants. But we didn't see each other because of family problem between us that brought us to go far places.

            I heard news from my other classmates that we will have a reunion this coming weekend and I am so excited for that because of my job and its years past since I have gone to other places. I was startled when I heard that my special friend became a teacher, novelist, leader, governor, and senator. Also his books that he had written including Los suenos de rizal, kundangan and others. His very wonderful person. The days come to my mind when we are just playing like a little cute kids and teasing each other and now he is a very popular person already. I’m very glad to see him again. I will treasure all of those activities we have shared. What a great day with Lope K. Santos. “Father of the Philippine National Language and Grammar.”

Blog # 3 Eradication of Our Mind

            Last elementary years, when I was grade 5, I am one of the participants of Naic to compete with other town in Cavite in a game called chess. I practiced hard for it before the game proceeded. I know that all of us want to be the winner of the contest. There are many stages before I win the contest. Each stage has one opponent of mine that can destruct me through a loss so I better no to lose to win the contest.

            First stage, I called it Game of Liars, as the game goes on; my opponent is very strong for me to win. My opponent increase in size and have many faces. They break through apart and I just saw many of them with the same faces. Each of them is telling me what move I will do to win and I’m going to fall now but I controlled it. I called them Liars. The punishment for them is they will say all the things they want to lie everyday and never stop saying of it. With that sin they will not be trusted by other persons.

            Second stage, I called it Game of Pride. In this second stage of my game, I feel my opponent is one of the greatest competitors in chess in the whole world. As I am entering another stage, the task is getting difficult to me to win the game but I never loss hope for it. In this stage, I saw those pride persons. The punishment for them is they can’t move so they can’t be boastful or prideful. All people can hate him/her when they do that sin.

            Third stage, I called it Game of Laziness. As this third game goes on, I’m getting lazy now to fight with him because he’s too tough to be defeated by my moves. But I think of a way to conquer him so I can accomplish the game. As I was thinking of that way, I saw those lazy persons lying on their bed, doing nonsense things and wasting their time always. The punishment for them is they will not stop working in their house every day. Some will be lazy also and others will do his/her undone work.

            Fourth stage, I called it Game of Persuasion. It includes those persons that are not kind to others. It affects me so much because I have done a little thing that corresponds to that sin, but I rebuff the power of him to defeat me. I saw those people that are not kind. The punishment for them is they will not have anything anymore and no one will give them what they want. Whatever you do to others will be the exchange of your sin.

            Fifth stage, I called it Game of Hoodwink. I said to myself that I’m on the fifth fight now and I’m near to my last fight so I want to win this game but my opponent is stalwart to be routed. I saw those cheating people and they encouraged me to do the same way so I can win the game. I do same way but I overcome those moves and win it again. The punishment for each of them is they will take exercises alone inside the room every day. Others will annoy because of being unfair with your own knowledge.

            Sixth stage, I called it Game of Illiterates. This is the game before my last fight through the cleanliness of my sins. I want to be pure enough in every day of my life. Not studying in advance can be the cause of being an ignorant person that’s why every recitation I can’t answer the questions. I saw those unaware persons, cannot answer and stand the whole time of the class. The punishment for them is they will read a lot of books every free time and if they can’t answer they will be sent out of the room until the class ends. Being sent out of the room can lead their grades to fail and can’t pass the subject.

            Seventh stage or the Last stage, I called it Game of Allure. With those six games I overcome and won I have that experienced to win this last game for me. But the sin is very beefy and can destruct myself and defeat me with an easy win. I saw those tempted persons. The punishment for them is they cannot see anything for they can’t be fascinated by it. It causes a very high destruction to our self and lead to obliteration of our mind.

            As I am playing the game, I came through lot of sins in my life. Now that I won it all by the help of my hope and faith to god, I became pure enough to see the light that shines on us and ready to tackle another day of my life and experienced the happiness in life.

You changed my Life

To my beloved Yza,

              I want to thank you for the love you gave to me since we're second year. Honestly, I never thought that I would ever meet as special like you who will fall in love with me because I'm not that cutest guy you met. :) .I know also you just got broken hearted last year. I tried  to share my feelings to you that time and let you think sincerely of it for me.

               As days passed, I asked you again about my feelings to you and I can never forgot that day you answered "YES"; that word stops my sadness and fully exchange by happiness as shown on my face. Since that day, you always complete me and every second I spent with you was unforgettable.

              Totally, I love you very much. I love every thing about you. Especially your smile, your eyes and when you talked to me every time. I love the way you hold my hands and stare at me all the time.

               Every time, I'n not with you, I feel scared every single moment because I don't know how are you feeling right now. I don't want you to be far from me. I need you all the time. Our relationship is the greatest thing happened in my life.

             You are the one who always at my side when I have problems. You will asked me quickly what happened and comfort me until my mood changes. I am very thankful for this and I hope you will not leave me. "Never" :((((

               For the days, we're not together and for the things I have done to you that hurt your feelings even though your not saying it to me. I'm really sorry for that and I will never do it again to you. Sorry if I don't have time to spend with you this days. I hope you understand. Honestly, sometimes, I'm sad because I'm jealous when you're with other boys but I just kept quiet and be lonely at one side. :((

    

               Lastly, I want to say that my love will never end. I hope also that you will not stop loving me as the way you love me right now. Even though we're in relationship, we must focus also in our studies and be the love we shared for each other serve as an inspiration. Good day. Always take care. I love you so much!! :))

                                                                                                                                   Raymond

Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without.

 Love is when you don't want to go to sleep because reality is better than your dreams.

My Teacher, My Hero

              A teacher is one who teaches or instructs each student. She/he is one of the greatest workers in the world. They are remembered by their student and treasure them in their life. They have an impression on the students lives and make them achieved what they want. Before all of that, a teacher must have great abilities. I considered my mother as one of those great teachers because she has those qualities.

            First, she has the ability to discipline; it means that she can change my behavior and my attitude. Every time I have done bad things to her or to other member of the family she will scold me already. Second, she has the enthusiasm in teaching. She influences me about what she’s teaching and makes me understand it. Third, she has that knowledge of what she’s teaching. I am very sure of that because she had finished already her masteral degree and she’s having her school again just to gain units. Fourth, she has that teaching style. She engages me in reading and speaking sometimes. Lastly, she expects me to work always on my home works and study my lessons especially before the days of our test.

            Those are the qualities of my mother that’s why I considered her one of the greatest teacher in my life because she has a great impact to me and change my life these days. I am very lucky because God gave her to me, to be my mother and I knew that other teachers have those qualities also so they can make a change on the lives of their students.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE??

To be or not to be

Life is real! Life is intense

Life is but an fearless dream

And life is not it mean.

To be or not to be

Life of great men had gone

To bring our country for freedom

And to have peace in our life.

To be or not to be

Love for country is in our self,

Show them with a heart for any fate

In every good manner we can make.

To be or not to be

Let us continue what they are doing

Still attaining, Still securing

Learn to love and saving.

"Comedy of Errors"

                The first group presented "Comedy of Errors" very well. It's a very nice story for me because I have understand it. I know why it is called like that because every time there's an error, like the exchange of role of the two twins, it makes me laughed. Shakespeare made the story very well. Starting with the birth of the twins at the same time and place.Then they got separated, Egeon got Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus. My favorite part in the story.was when Antipholus of Syracuse and Dromio of Syracuse went to Antipholus of Ephesus house. Then Adriana thought that Antipholus of Syracuse is her husband so she had a dinner with him. Then she said to Dromio of Syracuse to guard the gate and not let anyone to come in. After a while, the maid also thought that Dromio of Syracuse is her husband but her real husband is Dromio of Ephesus. It was full of errors but at the last part the twins met and reconcile with each other.

NCAE

            All third years students are supposed to take the National Career Assessment Examination. It is useful for us when we have our college education. We can able to choose on w hat field are we interested to take up so it’s easy for us to tackle the activities that we can encounter in our course.

            Last week, we were able to prepare for the NCAE. Our adviser taught us how to fill up the form about our self. We were all prepared for the exam. Our proctor gave the form to us and we fill up it, after a while we started to answer the questions in each subject. It took me a hard time in answering the questions in scientific ability because I know that I’m not fond of sciences. But in mathematical ability test, I was able to answer it very well with correct solutions. In this test I can able to know where I am more interested.

            What is the purpose of this test? The purpose of this test is to help students to determine what courses they should study in college and what job is suited for them. Another is to address the unemployed workers with their wrong career. The goal here is to determine what career is suited for them. They should plan in getting a course to have skills to accomplish their career.

            In college, I’m planning to take a course of engineering and hopefully passed the entrance exam for each school I will take up the test. Also to have the thinking ability to finish my studies and have a great career.

           

 

INTRAMURALS

            Every year in our school, the SSG officers always make their plan to have a two day intramurals. The YSC club officese are the one who do their assigned task to manipulate each sport so the activity will be accomplished.Intramurals is for the students to gain their talents and abilities on their liked sports. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of it to us? How can it help the students?

              First, in this way it can help the students to enhance their skills in playing with their like sports. Like me, I'm good in playing chess so I played chess last in trams. But I was already beaten by the 4th years, although I'm the one who play always when I was elementary. In this case, I want to engage myself again in playing chess because this is my hobby. It can develop our own skills and talents in playing with the other years in the school.

              Second, in this situation also we must socialize with others, especially our opponents’ on our sports. We must talk with them or be close like friends eventhough we win or not. We must not ignore them, in this way we will have many friends. I believe in that because I have many close friends now from first year to fourth year.

            Lastly, in intrams especially in playing our sports, we must be sport. We must accept that we had lost and we do our best to play the game but our opponent is just very good. But if we won, we must not be arrogant enough because it’s not good to be boastful just because you won. May be sometimes we will not won just because of that.

        Those are things help the students and what it gained from playing their sports. We must always remember that every intrams, we must enjoy every time in playing because it’s just once a year to have that and we must learn from our mistakes. Give our best shot and be sport! :)

"Language where one grows"

             

             English is the most widely spoken nowadays. It is the language of learning how to speak and write in English. It is one the languages that play an important role in communication. It is use also used in schools and as language of communication. Why it is commonly used than Filipino language?

            Many of us prefer to speak in English language because it’s the only way to communicate to other persons in other country. In terms of having classes in schools, teachers also prefer to speak in English to their students and the students are enhanced to speak that way. Like some OFW and call center agents, they speak in English so the listener and the speaker will understand each other and have an agreement. The use of English language may have a cause of our formality. We are well-familiarize to these English words now especially in schools.

            How about our native language “speaking in Filipino”? We can’t forget the Filipino language because it shows our personality in the Philippines. It means that it serves as the way how every person speaks here. If we are Filipino, we speak in Tagalog. It is a peerless language because it’s the language we only have aside from English, except for those persons who knows how to speak in different language. Another, our Filipino language is the sound of our inheritance. Everytime we speak in Filipino seems to be a very simple task. Filipino language was ignored nowadays. We must not disregard it because it’s our tradition that we should be proud of our own language. We must speak Filipino language thoroughly because it’s the only way to communicate with our family. We love and treasure our own language.

            Now, eventhough that we need to learn and speak in English so we can able to talk to other person in other country in terms of getting a job, I prefer to use our own language, Filipino as well because it is were I belong and I ewill used it forever in my life.

BESTFRIEND

             In the town of Mariveles, there are many affrays happening in the community. Inspite of that, there's also a happy family living there including Adrian's family and Carla's family. Adrian is from a poor family while Carla is from a rich family. Adrian is very garrulous so he has many friends including his bestfriend Carla. Everytime they always have a tryst at their rendezvous. They are always playing, laughing, teasing each other and having fun with themselves. When they are tired, they will guzzle and have some rest by sitting at the chair facing the beautiful scenery of the sky.

            One day, in the morning a claque went to Adrian’s house and said to him that his bestfriend Carla is leaving the town with her family. He was in hurry to go to Carla’s house. He talked to her sincerely. He said that they have an agreement that no one will leave each of them. But Carla doesn’t know what to do; she just arrived with his family and left Adrian.

            The nest day, Adrian deserved to be taciturn because of what happened yesterday. He always looked at his assemblage of pictures of Carla. He doesn’t eat well and can’t sleep well. But he was able to resuscitate from what happened to him. He focused to his studies and he graduated highschool and college. He was now working for his family. Sometimes he thought of Carla again but he was able to appease himself that she’s in her own life now. He was very conspicous that she already loves Carla.

            One day, he’s working at the company. He’s going home now; actually he’s riding on his motorcycle. Suddenly, a car accidentally bumped his motorcycle not really hard. She was Carla, woho is riding the car. She just got back last night. Then Adrian was shocked also and caused him to speak affluently to her. She was so beautiful now and Adrian thinks that many boys will have a crush on her. Carla was surprised also because he missed him so much. Adrian was invited by Carla to join the outing she will have. Then he shows to have a unanimous decision and quickly said “Ok. I’ll join”

The day came to met again his friends, especially Carla. It’s actually a reunion. He doesn’t waste the time to talk to her and its enow feelings for him to saw her smile. He always wants to have a surveillance of Carla’s smile.One day he just knew that Carla will be married to his other friend. He doesn’t like other person to marry his bestfriend. He went to a bar to drink some beers. It caused him to wake up early the next day. Now he’s in hurry because it’s the day of his bestfriend’s marriage. He went with his friends using his friend’s car but accidentally it doesn’t work so they just run to the church. When they got inside, they shouted that they disagree with the marriage and say that his friend wants only the money of Carla so she pushed him away and run to Adrian, and then they hug each other. The next day, no one disagree with their marriage. Carla loves Adrian also because he makes her laugh always. Afterwards they were married by the priest and they are already husband and wife. They live happily ever after. :)

 

 

SAVE OUR NATURE

                                                       I should like to rise and go 

Where the green trees grow

Below another graceful sky

Beautiful scenery quietly lie.

The sun shines in the sky

The birds are flying High

What a beautiful scenery I admire?

That makes me happy anytime.

Many problems occurred nowadays

Because of people throwing their waste away

Causing our resources to destroy any day

Calamities start; making their way.

Let us, then, be up and doing

Wasting resources is not quite willing

Our life depends on it

We must protect it every minute.

Natural Resources: Can it be Remedied?

              

              Look at our world now? our resources? Can we say that our world is not destroyed? Our world is very important to us. From the resources that we can get from our surroundings, we can have shelter, protection and food that we can used in our daily lives. Some persons ruined our resources that cause floods, landslide, air, water and land pollution. Those resources must not be wasted/destroyed because of the effect it may have. How can we protect our world? There are many possible ways to have a better world.

                    One, we must implement proper waste disposal. In this way, we can minimize the waste in our surroundings. On e way is through recycling. This is very helpful when we recycle at an earlier time. We can also earn aside from lessening our work load. If we don't segregate our wastes, more disasters will come. The problem is improper waste disposal so we will have this calamities and it makes a faster way to destroy the nature.

       Two, we must lessen building factories and using air cons, air re-freshener and others because it destroys our air and our ozone layer. We can see that all factories pollute the air by pumping out chemicals that are harmful for all living things. It cause acid rain and going to be global warming. Also the clorofluocarbons from the air cons cause the depletion of the ozone layer. Ozone is the most important layer because it traps the ultraviolet rays. Int his way, we can avoid air pollution and ozone depletion. 

                           Third, we must avoid polluting any bodies of water. Especially oceans were polluted by the ships that excretes oil to the water. Also factories, their raw sewage and industrial waste flows through the river. Water is very useful to us so it must not be polluted. It cause the marine animals to die and go to other bodies of water. We must avoid destroying coral reefs because those serves as the shelter for the marine animals.

                    Nowadays, we can say that our world is not better than the past generation and it was totally damage. But we can solve this problem by obeying the rules and join the activities and projects of our own barangay to protect our surroundings. Actually, in our own little way we can help. Like, after eating the trash mus be thrown to the correct classification of the waste in the trash can. Always remember that whatever we do to our environment, it will have an impact to our lives.

                                                                                    

 

I live in fear of the things i desire. I should surrender. To the terrible wonderful world that lies...Before me.

Comic Relief Ending of Romeo and Juliet

              Romeo killed one of the Capulet's. He was sent to a wonderful jail with complete facilities like in our house including television, toilet, bedroom and others. He was sent in that kind of jail because he was a known person and one of the Montague. He was just like a free person in the jail. Then, Juliet knew what happened so she thought of committing suicide by drinking a poison but she got a sleeping pills and drink it. The pills will react for one hour only.Then Benvolio saw Juliet and he runs fast to tell it to Romeo. Benvolio said that Juliet was dead so Romeo having a pretty sit at the jail while watching television was shocked and go to Friar Lawrence to asked what happened. Friar Lawrence said all the details then they run fast as they can.               

While Friar Lawrence was running, he slipped and cannot stand anymore so Romeo continue running with Benvolio. Suddenly, when they crossed the street, Benvolio didn't see the truck coming so he was hit by it and brought to the hospital. Lastly, he reached where Juliet was lying and went to her side. He realized that ahe was died and he stubbed himself. He was brought to the hospital. Then Juliet wake up and heard the news and went to the hospital with all the Capulet's and the Montague. Then they talk to Romeo. Lastly, Romeo said that "'I'd always hoped that I'd leave this mortal coil surrounded by my beautiful, loving family,,, so can some of you ugly ones move to the back'". They laughed and they have peace and live happily with their lives.

ROMEO AND JULIET

                 In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare makes a conflict in which two lovers fall in love and die because of that love. The families of Romeo and Juliet not simply disapprove the feelings of the lovers for each other. The fact is, the families of Romeo and Juliet are on opposites sides and they always quarrel on the streets of Verona. I can easily relate to this play. Most of us feel that lovers will have many obstacles and rather die than to kept apart from each other.

 MY EXPECTATION

                  People prefare reading stories with happy ending. In this tragedy, my expectation was Romeo and Juliet will not die. There are many ways to resolve the problem between the Capulet's and the Montague. I expect also that they will have a church wedding and they will have a happy family that cause the Capulet's and the Montague to settle their arguments and have a peace already.

What is the appropriate ending for this??

                  In this part , Romeo should not commit suicide because its not a way to resolve the problem. he problem is he didn't clarify what happened. He must go to Friar Lawrence and talk to him. Then Friar Lawrence will say what happened to Juliet. After saying it, they will go to Juliet and wait her to wake up. The Capulet's and the Montague will see them and think of having a peace and settle down their arguments because of the thing that Juliet have done. They will have a church wedding and they will live happily ever after.

                   This tragedy " Romeo and Juliet" was a very good story for us to know about the lovers that love each other.

                                   "LOVE NEVER DIES..."
