Some similarities

In the epic poem, Aeneid, there was a part there, that Aeneas was to go on the battle, but Creusa, his wife is stopping him from going into the battle. Creusa cared for Aeneas and also for her son. This shows how much Creusa loves her family. She doesn’t want Aeneas to go on the battle because she is afraid of what might happen to Aeneas after the battle.

On the other hand, a same scene like on the scene of Aeneas and Creusa happened, the scene of Hector and Andromache. She stopped Hector to go onto the battle because she is afraid of what will happen to Hector. But the only difference with that from the scene of Aeneas and Creusa is that Hector did not listen to her but go on with the battle and at the Hector died.

After reading those stories, I realized that every woman especially mothers, will do everything just to save her family. 

Challenges, things that make us stronger

          We never learn lessons whenever we are committing mistakes. These challenges serve as one of the things that make us stronger. We learned lessons after encountering those challenges. And challenges make one self know and realize what is wrong and what is right. Aeneas is an example of such person who did not fail to do his task to save in land. He got the triumph, though many challenges and hindrances made him weaker but those things, he made it as an inspiration in winning the battle. He can be a good inspiration to those people who are encountering such problems. You just need to know why you are there. Do not give up. Giving up is one of the worst things that you will do in your life. Always remember that for every problem, though it’s big or small, there is always a solution, meaning you should not give. God is just giving us those challenges to know how strong our faith to Him.

Mysterious Mona Lisa

The Mona Lisais a half length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, which has been acclaimed as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, and the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world." The painting, thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, is in oil on a poplar panel, and is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic, on permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris. The ambiguity of the subject's expression, frequently described as enigmatic, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.

                  There are many speculations about the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa. No one can tell which one speculation is true. Everyone has their own analysis of what is behind that “enigmatic smile.” For me, I believed that Mona Lisa is a portrait of Lisa Gherardini because the theories that says that Mona Lisa is Lisa Gherardini is somewhat nearer than other speculations.

                  Mona Lisa is a very mysterious painting of Leonardo da Vinci. Many people were confused about the real face behind that painting. All I can say is that, Leonardo da Vinci is a very good artist for he made Mona Lisa. 

CONVERSATION WITH MY IDOL, CORAZON AQUINO

Everyone of us has a idol who we are considering us our hero. For me, a hero is not a person who sacrificed for the sake of his/her own native land but you can be a hero with many simple ways.

        It is free to imagine talking to your idol hero. And my imagination is right here..........

        As I was walking to my grandmother’s house, Examiner street, near the Times street, the place where the Aquino Family is living, a very familiar girl accompanied me on my journey to my grandmother’s house. I was shock when I remembered her face, she was Cory Aquino, the late president of the Republic of the Philippines. OMG! She is walking with me. I was not talking that when she started speaking. She is very humble when she is telling her life. She is just like my friend talking with me. As simple as that.

        We talked many things about our lives while we are walking, going nearer to their house, she invited me to have “merienda” in their house. Since the house of my grandmother is near to their house, I accepted her invitation. In their house, I saw her daughter, Kris. She brought me to their garden, her favourite place. While we are sitting there, she is still telling me her stories. I learned many things from her story. And after eating the snacks she gave, I told her that its already late that I need to go to my grandmother’s house.

7 MAJOR VIOLATIONS OF A STUDENT

                  Every student is committing mistakes as their days in school pass by. I, myself honestly saying that I am committing those sins too. In Dante Alighieri’s most popular piece, “The Divine Comedy” there are places that for those sins that a person is committing. Also in a student’s life, there are punishments and person responsible for the giving of punishment. And there are some disciplinary actions should be done.

                  NEGLECTFULNESS – The students here, those who are those who are very careless and irresponsible with their things. The disciplinarian here is a student who was told by the teacher to confiscate those things found in every part of the room except for the lockers. The consequence is, the students will suffer from paying for those confiscated things found.

                  MESSINESS – The students here, those who are very messy not only with their own things but also for the stuffs they are buying from canteen for not returning it to its proper place. The disciplinarian here, is the adviser, he/she will give punishment to those students who are doing that violation so. The adviser might send the student out of the room and wait there until the student realizes his/her mistake.

                  BACKSTABBING – The students here, those who are disloyal with their friends. And keep on saying bad things about their friends at their back. The one who is in charge is your own self. Your conscience will make you suffer from your doings. Your conscience can make you a paranoid until you will be insane.

                  DISHONESTY – The students here, those who are cheating and lying. You are fooling yourself when you are fond of doing this mistake. The disciplinarian here, is also yourself, you are the one that can take control of yourself. Also your adviser, if she knows that you cheated she might give you a punishment like three days suspension from classes.

                  ENVOIUSNESS – The students here, those who are not contented with what they have. This violation can lead to a fight that can make you send to the guidance office. The disciplinarian here, is the guidance counsellor, he/she might recommend you for suspension depending on the damage that you had created.

                  BULLYING – The students here, those who are hurting physically and emotionally their other classmates. They are keep on fooling their classmates or blackmailing them for them to do what they want their classmates want to do. The disciplinarian here is your adviser and the guidance counsellor. They might recommend you for transfer depending on the weight of your violation.

                  And lastly, Self-fishness, the students here, those who are thinking only for themselves. They keep on forcing themselves for not sharing those things they have. The disciplinarian here, are themselves, they are the one who is responsible for their violation. Their conscience will make them guilty.

Dear asdfghjkl,

                            I'm sorry if in this letter my grammar is wrong. I'm sorry if I can't write as great as your other suitors do. But I really want you to understand every word that I will say.

                             When I come near you, my words start to stutter. I can't walk that straight and my legs begin to shake. I never expected me to feel this way in front of a person. I never thought that I would have such strong feelings with a person.

                        Talking to you feels different. There are now words to describe how much fun I have when I'm near you. Even though, there is not much sense in any of our conversations, I still feel as if I am the happiest person in the world.

                            I am not my usual self when I'm with you. I'm very sorry about that. It's just that I don't want to make a mistake when I'm with you. I don't want you to feel any pity on me when I make a mistake.

                        I want to promise to give you the most beautiful of flowers, the most luxurious life and the sweetest chocolates you will ever have. But I can't promise anything that I can't actually give. One thing I want to promise you is that, I can make you the happiest person in the world. If you would just let me. Let me give you a smile on your face. Let me celebrate the simplest things that we have do together. They say it's just a crush, they say it's puppy love. But I actually feel something for you. Something like love


                                                                                                                                   Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                         Lex
