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.
