My Prayer through Poem

Oh, God Almighty
King of all lands and sea
Oh merciful God
Please forgive your created lad

Sorry for the bad things we've done
Please forgive us because we commit this one
We don't know what we are doing
Please guide us to the path where we are going

Thanks for everything you give
We are very happy to live
Thanks for the blessings
Thanks to You, our merciful King

Save us from every calamity
Hold our hands together to eternity
Please don't leave us in this place
And guide us as this storm that we face

Please let the calamity pass by
With no person that needs to die
Eventhough saving others they try
Guide them as they fly

Brainy or Sporty?

We all have different attributes. Some of us is a genius, some are dumb, or some are average learner. Some could be very good in sports or some are wimp. We can choose between this two but some of us are born with this special talent which they excel that the others. Some are wiser than we do. So, how about you? What field do you excel? Are you a brainy or a sporty?

Me? I think I am both brainy and sporty because I am studying to an advance school and we are scholars and I am also sporty because I could play table tennis well.

The difference between being sporty and a brainy is really vast. Both of them could be the key to success. But being brainy could also be a problem. How could you bond with others that like sports? It may not be really necessary to study everytime. You may need some rest of mind and play sports!

Being sporty is also another problem. You may really good in sports but how about your academics? You should not just be idle on your studies. You may have a hard time to follow your lessons if you will not always study. You may fail your grades.

Both of them are essentially important. Brainy and sporty in one could be really better if you have this both. Just be sure to balance them.

Fair is Foul, Foul is Fair

                        According to the three hags in Macbeth, Foul is Fair and Fair is Foul. After reading it, I really had to think twice. I had trouble understanding it. It really took some time but finally, I understood it. It rushed into my mind that sometimes, we do things that are not good for others. Cheating, lying and all. For some, it is a bad bad thing but sometimes, we are forced to do it for our own good. Of course no one wants an unfair fight. That's why even if it s really against us, we have to do it.
                        On the other hand, when we try our best to be fair to other people, they still deceive us. They still plot bad things and plans against us. So it just tells me that in this world, there's no such thing as fair and foul. Its just a matter of how much you need it. We are just strangers lost in the desert, looking for ways to enhance survival. So nothing is fair and nothing is foul.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: My Opinionated Climax

     The climax of A Midsummer Night's Dream,for me, is that Robin Goodfellow misidentified Lysander to be the guy that rejects a girl.  When Robin poured the potion on Lysander's eyelids, he fell in love with Hermia. Because of this, Lysander and Demetrius fought each other but a naughty fairy, Puck, casted a vast darkenss into the forest so the men can't find each other so both of them is relaxing but after a while, Puck removed the portion from Lysander's eyelids and in that way, Lysander's lvoe for Helena came back.

     This is the climax for me because it is really exciting and there is a big twist in this story. It made the story more complicated and it made the story more intersting. You should not take away your eyes out of the story if you do not want to be more confused about it.

It's Teachers's Day and Have Fun!

     Teacher's day is a yearly celebration for the greatness of our teachers. It is also a special day for the appreciation of teachers and celebrations in honoring them for serving our community. The idea of celebrating the Teacher's Day was made in the 20th century where they celebrate a local educator for their milestone in their specific field.

     For me, teacher's day is a very special day. A day that we should give them a very special appreciation for their hardworks. Like the slogan "My Teacher My Hero", it is really true because without them, what are we now? What kind of person? They must be the one to given a special holiday because they were the one who taught Jose Rizal, Emilio Aguinaldo and other more how to be a better Filipino, taught them good attitudes and a lot more.  They are the one who taught our presidents how to be a good leader and mold them to be the best themselves.

     We must really honor our teachers. We must respect them. Without accepting them in our lives, we cannot learn a new lesson. Remember, "Foolish minds make foolish hearts".

Inspired by Shakespeare

Act 1 Scene 1
Don John was collaborated with other conspirators who don’t like Don Pedro to usurp the position to be the king of Italy.
Don Juan: Oh Rome, I promise you, if you’re meant to receive justice, you’ll receive it by my hand.
1st conspirator: There’s nothing to fear in him. Let’s not kill him. He’ll live and laugh at this afterward.
Don Juan: Quiet!
2nd conspirator: We’ll go there to bring him.
Don Juan: By eight o’clock. Is that the latest we can do it?
2nd conspirator: Let make that the latest, but be sure to get there before then.
Act 1 Scene 2
(The Shipwreck)
Don John, Don Pedro, Claudio’s twin brother, Claudio (Identical twins) and the conspirators planned to travel in Italy and Don John together with his conspirators planned also to kill Don Pedro.
Don John: Boatswain
Boatswain: I’m here sir, how can I help you?
Don John: Give the other sailors a pep talk and do it fast before we shipwrecked. Hurry! Hurry!
Boatswain: Bring down the top sail! Fast! Lowe, lower! Let the ship sail close to the wind.
Prospero planned the shipwreck to let Don Pedro escaped from Don Juan and his conspirators but during the shipwreck, one of Don John’s conspirators stabs Don Pedro on his back and let his body throw to the ocean.
Act 1 Scene 3
Ghost: Listen to me.
Claudio 1: Speak! I’m not going any further.
Ghost: Don’t pity on me just listen carefully to what I have tell you.
I’m the ghost of your father
                Take revenge for his horrible murder.
Claudio 1: Murder?
Ghost: You should know, my noble son, the real snake that kill your father is soon to wear the crown.
The ghost visits Claudio’s twin brother also and tells about this.
When Don John is safe from returning Venice, He crowned as the king of Venice. Don John together with his conspirators built another ship to return in Venice. Claudio planned to take revenge by leading his army.
First Soldier: We’ll meet to the wood.
Claudio: Now rebel enemies punish him every minute.
All: Well, let’s keep marching and give our loyalty to someone who truly deserves it.
Claudio and his soldiers enter marching with a drummer and flag.
Don John: The noise is coming from over there.
Claudio 1: Turn around, you dog hell! Turn around!
Don John: You’re wasting your time trying to wound me.
Claudio 1: Surrender coward and we’ll put you in a freak show, just like they do with deformed animals.
Don John: I’m not going to surrender.
Trumpets and battle noises. The trumpet of one army sounds a call to retreat and the other sound calls a victory.
Act 2 Scene 1
Messenger: Claudio deserves to be honored. He has done more than anyone would expect of a man of his age. He looks like a lamb but fights like a lion.
Beatrice: Benedick is braggart and a fool.
Leonato: For God’s sake, Beatrice, you’re criticizing Signior Benedick too heavily.
Messenger: Signior Benedick served well in the war.
Beatrice: absolutely, he is tuffed like a dummy.
Claudio 1: Does Leonato have a son?
Benedick: Hero is his only child and his only heir. Do you like her Claudio?
Claudio: I saw her and I liked what I saw but my mind was to occupied with the rought, violent task ahead of me.
Benedick: You’ll become a true lover.
Act 2 scene 2
Prospero: But who’s coming this way? I’ll make myself invisible and listen to their conversation.
Beatrice: Look, I don’t love you, so stop following me around.
Benedick: You attract me to you. You cruel magnet!
Beatrice: Do I ask you to follow me?
Benedick: Yes but what makes me love you even more. I’m your little dog Beatrice.
Prospero: You’ll be the one running away and she’ll be in love with you.
                     Do you have flower?
Robin: Yes! Here
Prospero: A sweet Benedick is in love with a young lady. Put some of this flower’s juice on her eyes and make sure to do it such a way that the next thing she sees will be Benedick.
Robin: Don’t worry sir I’m at your service.
Robin put the juice in Claudio who he taught that the man Prospero talked about. Claudio first saw Beatrice then he fell in love with Beatrice. Hero cried. Before the incident happened Hero and Claudio had an affair already. Claudio said hurtful words to Hero. Hero went to Friar Lawrence and she told the challenges that she was facing. Friar Lawrence gave vial to Hero. This will make Hero slept for one day and pretend that she was dead. Prospero told Robin to use another poison to bring Claudio to his normal mind. When he back to his normal mind, he heard the news that Hero is dead. Claudio stabbed himself. Hero saw Claudio was dead. Prospero came and told Hero that she shouldn’t worry about Claudio’s dead.
The next morning, Benedick and Beatrice’s wedding. Claudio’s twin came by Prospero and there he met Hero. Claudio’s twin fell in love easily with Hero. Hero was shocked when he saw Claudio’s twin. Claudio’s twin brother told that a ghost talked to him about his twin brother so he immediately went on his journey to Venice and this was planned by Prospero. Hero and Claudio’s twin got married.
Robin: Just think of this way and everything will be all right. You were asleep when you saw these visions and this silly and pathetic story was no more real than a dream. Ladies and Gentlemen, don’t get upset with me. I swear that if we’re lucky enough not to get hissed at so good night everyone. Give me some applause and Robin will make everything up to you.
