Family against Land

Family against Land

BLOG 4.1

What will you choose if you’re ask, your family or your land? It is really somewhat uncertain for everyone to choose between the two, the land you’ve been with for your entire existence or your family whom you live with and whom you dream to have as your own. 

There are many differences between things in this world but one thing is for sure the mother’s instinct can never be false especially when it comes to family matters. I know some parents who always try their best to do the right thing and make the right decisions for their love ones. They are willing to sacrifice everything just for the sake of those people who are very important even they will spend the last minute of their lives. 

A great example is those wives who take their full responsibilities with regards to family sake. One of these is Creusa, the caring and understanding wife of Aeneas. She begs Aeneas not to go and think of what will happen to her and their son, Ascanius. She asked Aeneas just to live with them peacefully and just stop. Yet Aeneas decided to flee Troy, there she was killed so she decided to just let Aeneas go and fulfil his destiny were as she knows that it is the right thing to do. In comparison to another wife named Andromache, the good and kind wife of Hector, she always understands what responsibilities Hector has in the city. She doesn’t demand for attentions or something. Yes she is Hectors wife but he always considers a part of Hector that she should not go with. She lets Hector to overcome what he is destined for. 

The two of them have such same characteristics as a wife. They think of things not just for their own but for the sake of a whole. Having a give and take relationship cycle can help couples be stronger were as they think for things that they can encounter that maybe one hindrance of having a happy relationship. So if you love someone take a step of having such sacrifices just to maintain the bond. It is not good to have problems unsolved in a relationship so don’t be selfish and me understanding.

Through Ups and Down

Through Ups and Down

BLOG 4.2

We never learn lessons until the time that we’re in our own downfall. Challenges are one of the things that made us strong and a better person. This also enables us or one individual to somehow face difficulties and challenges as well as to reach goals that we dreamt of. If you lose something, that’s the best time of climbing up from that situation and moving towards a brighter one. It is like failing in a certain mission; once you succeed you don’t want to lose anything else. There are many things in this world that we don’t know but we just need to be ourselves to find it out. Facing the terrible lost of something is hard yet one of the things that you’ve don’t dreamt of happening.

There was this one guy that I know who did an extraordinary thing that even obstacles interfere him he didn’t lose hope and just continue striving to motivate his self towards success. In his action he was able to gain the power that he was dreaming. He is no other than Aeneas. He fought on his ways knowing that he might lose yet didn’t give up. He encountered obstacles during his way to build another land and once again raise the flag of the Trojans. He stands still with his feet on the ground and uses all the things he had to make the right decision. And now as he searches for the new beginning for everyone, I can say that he can be a good inspiration for those people who tend to give up without trying. An Inspiration to everyone which can prove that nothing is impossible for as long as we tried hard and have fate in God.

 Anyone can pass those hardships and triumphs in life. We should look back from where we’ve started yet facing new challenges is like facing a new chapter of your life. One great lesson is that don’t easily give up in things and hardships, as we all know it is just one challenge that God gave us to try our determination and a part that could help us to be a good person and a stronger one.

When Troy Falls

BLOG 4.1

When Troy Falls

It was a day after Troy was destroyed by those Greeks. Blood marks, burned houses, dead armies and citizens and a hopeless city. How could ever such humans do those things? That is my question. It is very unrighteous that you’re trying your best to stop those battles and just go with peace but why are they doing it? Effort, that is one point, you’re giving your trust and then they fail to keep it and all this time they are just fooling around and having a secret plan fighting you back, how inhuman is that.

And now as Aeneas tells the fall of Troy and how people suffer I can really imagine and feel how hard is it for one to just let it go and move on. I felt pity for Aeneas’ himself and for his land, Troy, that they even can’t manage to fight back and defend themselves. His land was destroyed without mercy and was like pulverized and left nothing. All they can do is just watch their land fall from the hands of those bastards who tricked them behind.  And that leads a mark of tragic and mostly something in the part of Aeneas that leaving his own land in time of need was the hardest thing that he ever did in his life.

As I end this, seeing my own land in the downfall was really a tragic moment but in reality and life we should look forward even its really hard. Life must go on.

World of Fantasy, Dreams and Imagination. (A day with Melchora Aquino de Ramos)

World of Fantasy, Dreams and Imagination.

(A day with  Melchora Aquino de Ramos)

In life it’s not bad to dream and believe with something. So now I will start this world of Fantasy and world of Dreams and Imagination.

              It is past 8 o’clock in the evening and I am in my room preparing to sleep but suddenly I thought of visiting my emails for a scheduled activity update. I keep on scrolling when suddenly I saw an unusual email and it is from Melchora Aquino. And she is inviting me to go to the past and experience something realistic but then worth dying for. I thought of accepting her invitation so I replied immediately and I was very excited. (See conversation)

Melchora Aquino:

Good day!

Hello Marinel Rodriguez I am inviting you to experience something extraordinary I will really appreciate your presence just contact me here and you will be here. J

Marinel Rodriguez:

Dear Mrs. Gabriella Silang thank you for inviting me I really much appreciate it. Just update me when will be the date. Thank you. J

Melchora Aquino:

Thank you for your reply and compliance. Our service will fetch you just in time for your flight.

 A few seconds ago somebody knocked at my door. When I opened it nobody is in there but when I’m about to close it there was this bright light shining and a strong wind pulling me near the light that took me. I just found myself lying under a coconut tree. The place was very foggy, dark and lonely, there I saw a beautiful lady with her baro’t saya looking at me. I blinked thrice until I saw soldiers and many more. The girl tapped me and she told me that “Buti ay pinagbigyan mo ang aking imbitasyon, Ikinagagalak kitang makita sa personal” and that answered my question she is no other than Melchora Aquino.  She invited me in her tent and taught me things about her jobs she even told me the situations of those soldiers who are fighting for freedom. After a few minutes I heard voices panicking, I saw stampedes and those injured soldiers with their wounds open bleeding strongly. There I saw Melchora Aquino with her equipments and strong determination running to the victims and injured soldiers to lend a hand and help them. I approached Melchora Aquino and told her that I am willing to experience this unforgettable moment of my life. There I help her treating the swollen wounds and everything. It took us hours before going to the next patient. We had a great long bonding she even tour me around the site while doing the service where I saw those Filipinos suffering and fighting for their lives. It is almost midnight and still we’re awake and working she offer me a piece of bread and a glass of water for dinner before we continue a second batch.  But then I need to say goodbye where as my time is over so much for a great experience that I’ve been once a part of the Filipino History in helping our co Filipinos in fighting for freedom. I bid goodbye to Melchora Aquino and she told me a few tips about life. “Marinel, thank you for a day, thank you for helping me inspite of everything else you truly deserves a great life in the future. But be sure to be a good citizen with no corrupts and illegalities. Thank You Very Much. J” A replied a smile and walk to the light and the second thing around is that I found myself standing infront of my door open and my mother is staring at me that I even laugh.

World of Imagination (7 student’s major sin)

World of Imagination

(7 student’s major sin)

NOTE: before reading this warning. Sorry for it. This is the best that I can do. It’s hard but life must face challenges and this is one hope you like it. J Ang fail . -.-

As a Cavite National Science High School Student I barely see my good future. But despite with those let me present you a few tips, reminders and notifications of what in general a student can do so far for his or her years as a student.

       It was early morning in June and I was thinking of travelling, somewhere no one can find me, just to internalize and relax. The place where I can have a peace of mind, but unfortunately an error occur a viseversa of everything I dream of, I guess.

      Silent, dark and a right place for a mourner, that’s how one can describe the place. While starting my journey I saw a huge, tall and whatsoever arch of a gate that captures my attention, it was shiny and perhaps full of pearls, diamonds and gems. There I saw a shadow of a tall man who seems to be waiting for me. I don’t really know why but he was staring at me as I go nearer and nearer. When I reached the gate I finally saw him and unfortunately I wasn’t able to remember his name but he really looks familiar. I tried to ask and know his name and also where I am but there was no reply. I was very scared with his poker face so I immediately run as fast as I can but there was this force pulling me back to the gate, a force that is hard to explain. There I saw a flying note floating in the air that says “NO I.D NO ENTRY” something like a boarding pass and I notice an inscription at the arch of the gate saying “Thou shall not do anything wrong else your soul will perish and be punish for a time.” I felt so rattled, scared with mixed emotions that I immediately give my I.D to the tall man and run as fast as I could.  While running I felt stuck in a sticky substance that I can’t go and move. There I saw the tall man in the gate he lend me his hand and help me to get out, he even insist that he will go and guide me as I travel through nowhere. He told me stories which happened in that place, he told me that there was this kid who also travel but wasn’t able to go back.

      Having that journey is a sort of nightmare but even gets trickier and tenser when we entered the first room. I saw a bunch of students running around the campus, I asked the tall man what is happening and he didn’t reply. So I find a way to know it and luckily I did. I asked the lady who is standing somewhere in the finish line and she told me that I’m in the room of Recalcitrants and Nocturnals. These are the students who go to school late and those who disobey the school regulations with regards of having a proper uniform. While looking at those students I felt very pity asking myself is it in justice punishing these students like this. Suddenly a heard a voice coming from the gate it gets clearer and clearer until I saw a man. He really looks familiar but the second time around I wasn’t able to remember. He told me to be careful while travelling. I bid goodbye and continue my journey I asked the tall man “Where are we going next” and I was glad and happy to hear his voice he told me that we will go to the next room and then silence speaks.

    There was this strong wind in our way. There I saw flying books, foods, and knowledge/lessons. It is very magical and what a world of fantasy. I continued walking and I saw a bunch of students having trades, giving what they have and teaching what they learned. Another lady was standing in front of everybody. She told me that I must learn those things, learn to give and share. She told me that don’t expect things in return and be happy with what you have and what will you have.

       After a few minutes I found myself lying under a mahogany tree I blink my eyes 3 times and I saw the tall man standing and thinking deeply of something. I asked him “What happened? Where are we?”, then he replied, “The strong wind hardly blown us here and now we are outside the room of Hoggish.” I asked him another question but he refuse to reply he just told me that we should go and we will run out of time. We started walking again until I saw a crowd who is somewhat talking about something. A saw a large banner with an inscription “Welcome Bullies and Mockers”, and that leads it; I’m in the room of Bullies and Mockers. While roaming in the place I saw a line of students who are disciplined by teachers and on the other side there are these children who are using hand signs because their mouths are masked with tape. Then silence came I can see the next door but there was this loud voice that said “Thou shall not say bad words or else you’ll suffer for a time with silence”.

              The whole place went blackout until there was this lightning volt that breaks the silence. A nice and warm whelming greeting from a crowd “Hola, Welcome to the room of Feckless”, as I enter the room there was these books, notebooks that are scattered everywhere files and everything. There was this leader who always reminds them that they should be responsible enough but despite most of them regret and snob those reminders. I cute little girl approach me as I enter the room she told me all the stories of those who are inside that room and will happen to them. I immediately bid goodbye when the tall man told me that we only have 4 hours 30 minutes and 20 seconds before the gate to the real world close. But before moving on I asked the cute little girl on what is Feckless really mean, and then she told me that it is those who are irresponsible that’s why they are inside that room.

We walk a hundred meter until we saw a car parked near a store. We ride in it and continue our journey.  I asked many questions to the tall man but he refused to reply until I saw a room and asked him for the nth time on where are we? He told me that this is the third to the last Room and the third most sins of students. The room of Indolence, there I saw I bunch of lists of things to do but wasn’t able to accomplish. I also notice those students who are in front of the computer doing something instead of their works. But there was thing little guy who gets my attention he is sitting in the corner of the room doing a bunch of things.  I went to his place and asked him. Why he is there and why is he not joining the others. And a nice and gentle voice answered that question “I am not there because I want to study I want to change and I felt sorry and pity to myself that I disappoint my parents” That thought of him touches my heart that I was waiting for the whole time. That these things we can never have without them. “Them” our parents our ultimate guardian and friends.  Then the tall man tapped me, and asked me if I’m okay and I replied “YES, of course, indeed.” He asked me if I’m ready to go because it’s nearly midnight and I nod at him as a sign of yes. We then travel the road to the next room and as we travelled I saw a sign board that notified us that we’re 25 M away from our destination. Then I noticed a tomb near an a long bridge with an inscription “WELCOME TO THE ROOM OF BARBARICS ENJOY YOUR VISIT” we didn’t stop that long inside that room but I noticed those students who are such a bastards that won’t even change they are uncontrollable  with their actions. We travelled the long road of the room until we reached a lake. We need to pass through it to get to the last room so we look for possible transportation.  I then saw a boat and I immediately pull him so we can move on but then as we reached the boat he noticed that there were no paddles so we look for possible paddle and luckily I thought of a bright idea. “Hey tall man, Why don’t we use our hands it’s not that bad isn’t it?” So he just agreed and we ride on the boat. We immediately reached the Last room. The room of Cheaters.  It’s very hot in that place. Very noisy and the place looks like a supreme court where each student are in a line each are judge and after judging the length of suspension is declared.  I told the tall man that we should go but he insist that he will stay and he bid me goodbye he just told me how to go out to reality and darkness surrounds the place.

        After 3425495843827329350472 I found myself in a small room. And last thing I remember is that I was in a maze of sins. I hit my forehead then I realized that I was dreaming. I remember some parts of my dream and that leads it, that’s why they looked familiar is that they are those staffs and friends that I have in our school.  J

Christmas Party Conversation

Christmas Party Conversation

Christmas is nearly coming!!

            It was a good and shiny day, December 19, 2012, exactly 8:00 am, it is a day before we will celebrate the CNSHS’s Christmas Party 2012.  Almost all the student in the campus was very excited with the said event, I guess?

            In our classroom everybody was very excited. There are murmurs and gossips about what are their plans etc., but something bothered me, I noticed my closest friends, Patricia and Roanne, talking about our Christmas party.

           “Hey Patricia, ma’am said the Christmas Party will be held tomorrow afternoon.” Roanne said.

          “Really? I heard from Christian that it will be held on Friday.” Patricia replied.

          “Nooo!! Ma’am said that it will be held tomorrow.”Roanne exclaimed.

           That is the first part of their conversation when suddenly I interrupt it with a funny entrance I asked them on what they are talking about and Roanne said that they are talking about the Christmas Party.

         

            Patricia on the other side expressed her feelings about the current event and she said that she was so excited.

           We continued the conversation and as stated I was with them this time. As the clock strikes we get bored and wondered about the activities that we will do so I asked them to go with me and asked Ma’am about the time of our Christmas Party and others, because we are tasked to do the program and invitations.

           Roanne immediately opposed and suggested that we should finalize the invitation or make a draft first and I agree with it.

           “Let’s used my laptop, I brought it today.” Patricia suggested.

           “Sure give it to me.” I replied.

            “Ma’am Juliet said that Ma’am Orsal will be the speaker for the opening remarks   tomorrow.” Roanne informed us.

           “ Really?” Patricia and I said.

          “Yes, Just do it Marinel” Roanne said.

             I agreed with her and I just do my part. Afterwards Patricia asked “Who will be our Emcees”.

         

            “ Hmm..Hey I think Jessa and Igi will fit for that.” Roanne immediately answered.

           “Ah..Yes!Yes!” Patricia agreed.

            So I typed the details and I told them that I’m done already. Roanne said that I was very fast that she can’t really believe it with her voice.

           “Can we see it?” Patricia asked.

           “Sureee. Im so great” I exclaimed.

           “Okay, Lets consult Ma’am if this is okay already.” Roanne added.

           “Okay” Patricia and I agreed.

             -End of Conversation -

            It was a short and exciting conversation for us that made our time worth it and not that casual and boring. 

∞ Less Than Three ♥

Dear Mr. Smile ♥ ,

            Hi, Hello, Hi, Hello!!

      
      Hahahaha, Seriously I’m kinda nervous even though I’m just making this *idontknowthing*. I just don’t really know where to start and how to start. Maybe this sounds weird but I just want to tell you something through this simple blog or maybe a letter perhaps.  Okay, First of all don’t expect too much because I’m not a good writer or whatever. Okay, here it goes for nothing.

         Hi, Mr. Smile…Yes, I named you Mr. Smile. -____- . Maybe it sounds weird but it fits your personality I guess.

       April 2012. Almost Six months, since I first met you.

      September 2012. Almost a month, since I last saw you.

           Hahaha. Do I sound silly or something, sorry for that. I just can’t help telling these unpredictable feelings of mine. Complicated? Yes, yet challenging. J I don’t know what on earth I am talking about right now but I guess this is what they call “love”?

          *Speechless*

          I don’t know what to say. Ugh. Maybe if I will have a chance to talk with you personally, I will spend every minute and second of it knowing all those things about you and telling how much I admire you most. I don’t know how to express my thoughts right now, but I’m very sure that meeting you and knowing your existence change me somehow inside and somewhere here ♥.

      

       I may not know your name but I’m trying my best to know it since I met you. Even struggles, obstacles and trials fears me, I will still fight for this feeling or what others so called crazy little thing called love. Maybe it’s just destiny that leads us apart but I will never ever let that happen for as the first time I saw you, I marked my word that I will really try the best that I could to know you more as you leave a sparkle in my life.

               Your soft voice that is very nice, your tantalizing eyes which is like a star that sparkles every time I glance at you, your smiles that gently kill my sleeping soul from pain and lastly how your humor attracts me. Silly right but that’s how I can interpret this crazy feelings here inside my mind and  ♥.

               Yes, it’s you Mr. Smile. It’s you that I admire and I hope that someday all these pains and silly acts are worth it. I wish that my dream could come true that you and I will be together and you will tell me back how much you love me. Haha. Here it goes again I’m being a silly dreamer again and again and again. Sorry for that. J BTW, sorry for the name I just don’t know what I should call you for your Unknown Identity. As I end this don’t forget that since I met you, you’re just the only one for me and I hope that you’re open for possibilities of having me as one of your friends.  Cross fingers, Promise I will be your besta friend. Haha. I believe nothing is impossible. Infinitely Yours♥.

Love,

My Teacher My Hero

BLOG 2.7

My Teacher My Hero

           

                 Many of you might ask what is that teacher thing means? Well way back 90's I really don't know why we need to study, and to have those bunches of lessons every other day.  As a matter of fact I really have no idea, but when I hear the word SCHOOL all that runs through my mind is friends, play and fun. That was way back 90's to be exact with my journey I started studying year 2001, first day ever in school that was the month of June when I met my Teachers. 

               Teacher is a word, a noun, which means one that teaches. Maybe some of you are a little bit confused why I used this dictionary term meaning. Actually the main purpose of it is to show how ironic it could be to compare a person with those simple words in a dictionary that makes up a meaning for it. Yes, Dictionaries are helpful but this time it’s different way DIFFERENT.

                I could still remember my old teachers in my old school. Since I didn’t transfer to any other school I am a bit well known with the principal perhaps as well as those old teachers that saw me excel in different fields as I grow up. To tell you honestly, I was a consecutive honor student in our school since Nursery –Grade Six. I never doubt of being in it because I believe that it was destined to me, that I tried the best that I could ; Listening to those advices given to me by those people around me specially my parents and  my teachers whom we consider our second parents. I believe that the things that I have now is because of them.

                Reminiscence, Reminiscence, Reminiscence. I encountered many teachers in my life as student and now I want to share one memorable experience with my elementary teacher that touches my life all throughout as I am travelling my journey. He is no other than Sir Rogie. He gave me a very great impact in my life. He thought me not to give up and as a matter of fact not just me but those students that he was able to be with. He never let us feels different whereas, he is just a teacher and we are just his student.  It’s really hard to compare my teachers because for me they all give me an impact as time goes by. They help my parents to let me know what life beyond everything else is and let me understand things which happen for reasons.

                Perhaps I will end this in telling them how much grateful I am to have this kind of parents who are very supportive and to those teachers who became part of my life that changed me a lot. Yes, there were favouritism but that doesn’t become the hindrance of being me now. So I will give my greatest and warmest gratitude for as long as I live I will take that part as a history of having them in my life.

The Comedy of Errors

BLOG 2.5

COMEDY OF ERRORS

 Comedy of Errors is a story about a lost pair of twin brothers who was separated when they were still a kid by a shipwreck. Their father do everything to get them back with the right twin and as the time pass by the two twins who are the Dromio and Ephesus of Antipholus and Syracuse meet each other.

 The silly part of it is where the twins met each other but there are many counter parts that led them not to know that these are their twins and these are not there twins, some sort of that twisted part. Were they even exchange position and nobody notice it.

  Reaction on the Comedy of Errors? Well I'll be honest but I find it silly. Whereas things are made to be complicated and twisted, I was first confused with how the story goes on but as it was further discussed it’s just a simple story that has lessons in life.

    Comedy of Errors is a good play but for me not quite good compared to other pieces of Shakespeare because I wasn't able some intense or fun the plot of the play.

 

   

To Be or Not To Be

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

   

To be or not To Be

That is the question

Problems? Trials? Obstacles?

Hand in Hand needs an action

To Be or Not To Be

Walking in the unkown path

 Thousands of sided decisions

With this pang of despised luck

To Be or Not To Be

Solving a strenuous puzzle

Leading to success and gratitude

Bid a kaleidoscopic Memoir

To Be or Not To Be

Sarcastic fellows chanting in delight

Shadows of Apparition scent

Bid to say thanks for all

Note: the first one is better. :(

NCAE~ National Career Assessment Examination

National Career Assessment Examination

NCAE? National Career Assessment Examination. It is ones way to know the intellectual ability of a person. It is an exam of one’s ability. A student doesn't need to review anything when taking up this examination. It is a test to determine how far the student’s knowledge is.

This can help one individual to decide whether what course they will take. The results from the exam can be the basis of what subject or fields are you good at and what are your interests or on what part will you excel most. For me it is a big help because at this point I really don't know yet what course will I take after I graduate in high school. It’s hard to choose because even if its your field to also need to add the fact if that course can easily find jobs. I really big help is it just be wise and be yourself don't make others run in your mind whatever you want pursue and motivate.

Native tongue VS English Language

 

NATIVE TONGUE VS ENGLISH LANGUAGE

What is Native tongue? Native tongue is the first language that a person learns from birth. In the Philippines the most common language or what they so called dialect is Tagalog. There are other dialects which came from different regions in the Philippines as well as islands Chabacano, Ilonggo and many more. How about English language? Well it is the common language in all the states and countries in the world. It is the International Language because every people were trying to learn to be a high intellectual person.

September 26, 2012 this is my birth date where I heard my parents talk in our own dialect "Tagalog". It's hard to decide whether our Native tongue or the English Language but for me both of them are important. English helps us to communicate with other and be high intellectual persons. Tagalog helps us to advertise and master our own dialect were we should be proud of what we have.

I'll end this in choosing Native tongue than English language because it was the best way to respect our country by preferring our own and not others. It’s just like with the products were we used to like other works because they are told to be better and high quality but not all. As others said "LOVE YOUR OWN".

It's more fun in the PHILIPPINES.!~
