Aeneas Through His Journey

In Aenid, Aeneas is the descendant to find the city of Rome. He is as well as the leader of Troy. His journey is never been a joke or even an adventure for him. He needs to fulfill the task given to him. In his journey, he kept his fate in himself. Fate which never fades.

Sympathy is a feeling of compassion. Sympathy is the only thing I can show to Aeneas. Since I am not to play a big role on his journey, all I can do is to let him smile. I will let him have the courage to pursue his tasks even if there are times that can make him fall and give up. I will also let him remember to be positive in all things. I'll give him an advice to be more attentive on what will be going to happen in his travel. I'll tell him, whatever happens, I am here to help him.

In one's journey, I can say that it's a serious matter. You need to do it as what the nature had told you. You can't move backward. If one person was given a tasks like Aeneas, we can help them by just showing our sympathy. Sympathy that will show our sincerity to them.

Rewards of William Shakespeare To Me

                I was in National Bookstore in SM Bacoor last November 29,2012. I'm roaming around the store then I stopped at the section of Literature Works. I was looking for all the books of Shakespeare and Dante Alighierie because I want to list the titles.

               When I was to get the book of  A Midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare, I got it with another hand. I let the other one got it. Then, when I looked at him, I was stunned. But, his face made me confused. I thought I already knew him.

                Then he asked me, "I'm so glad that there is still a student who's fond of reading my books". Something came into my mind "...reading my books?". It simply means, Is he William? I'm so speechless. He asked me to eat with him at Greenwich. I felt so glad when he invited me. A very memorable experience to be remembered.

                He ordered a big box of Hawaiian Pizza. Then we talked. He told me, he's so happy that a girl like me, appreciate his works. I smiled at him. I really can't imagine that he's talking with me. He told me to say something about his works.  At first, I told him that the reason why I'm reading his books is because we are obligued to read for our literature in English. He asked me if I'm just forced to read his books. I said I'm not because the stories are really interesting. I told him the stories I have read already. I said the books: Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, The Tempest, Hamlet, Comedy of Errors, and Much ado About Nothing. He told me that there are still many books that I'm not reading yet.

               When we finished eating, we went again to National Bookstore. We went to Literature Section. He got all the books he wrote and he paid them in the counter. We went outside and said that the books were his rewards to me as a reader. He told me to let others read his books and if by chance, he'll give them books also. Then, I went home. *The End*

Mona Lisa's Smile

             Many of us, for sure, are aware of the painting Mona Lisa. The painting made by Leonardo da Vinci. With the painting, we are all wandering of Mona Lisa's smile. Her strange smile. What is meant by her smile?

             Mystic smile, a term that used by people to describe Mona Lisa's smile. For me, many expressions describe her smile. Maybe, she's just faking a smile or she's sad and just hiding her miserable life. We can also say that she is happy. We can say that her smile is also a way to tempt a love. We really cannot tell what is meant by her smile. She really has a very strange smile that made many people confused.

             For me, our smiles could just say we are physically okay. Our smiles cannot tell that we are happy with our life. It may hide our pains. Many meanings are there for Mona Lisa's smile. I could only say, she has a beautiful smile that is very strange into my eyes.

Teen Talk

Recess time. I'm already finished eating my food. I saw Kenneth sitting on the lockers. Since I don't have anything to do, I went to him and talk about creepy things about love. 

"Hi, Kenneth! Are doing something right now?" I asked him. 

"Uhmm.. None. Why?" he asked me too. 

"How are you and my bestfriend, Franz?"

"We're okay. We're bestfriends now. Better than alright!" he answered. 

"Ah. I just want to seek for your advice." I told him.

"Sure. What is it?" he asked. 

"What should I do if I'm already falling inlove with my boy bestfriend but it seems he doesn't care about me?"

"Hmmm. Falling inlove is not bad, you know? Tell your bestfriend your true feelings but don't stay away from him," he adviced.

"What if I tell him, then awkwardness will strike our friendship? Hahaha," I faked a laugh.

"He'll accept all things about you even your love for him. But, if he'll stay away from you or if you already feel the awkwardness between you and him, it means he also have feelings for you. It means your feelings are mutual. Hahaha," he told me seriously with a clown smile.

"I know. Haha. But I hope you are not kidding," I said with the tone which is like blackmailing.

"But don't expect for too much, friend. Ohh! English time already. Let's prepare for our things," he said. 

"Sure. Thanks. You're really one of a kind."

"Welcome. Yah, I know." he ended.

Fell Inlove with my Bestfriend

We started at friends
And promised it'll never end,
But the sands of time shifted;
Up and down, my feelings for you twisted.

Our paths crossed in our school,
Destiny did it, it was not a fool.
Here, I saw your thoughtfulness,
And at the same time, your kindness.

It was already a year
Since I felt this love for you, so sincere.
Now, I had given a chance to be strong enough
To say "Earl, I like you very much!".

I don't know what's so special about you,
Love doesn't ask who are you.
And if you ever wonder why,
Just look up, there's God, you try.

You take away all the pain and stress
And I can't find enough words to express,
My day brightens up when you smile
And I can say that my life is worth while.

Every time I see you, I love you more and more.
It seems that your standing in front of the door
Of my heart, which waited for you
And wishes to love me, same as I do.

Your eyes showed me what love is all about,
That love which makes my heart scream out,
I can feel the magic between you and me
But only Him knows if we are meant to be.

Rebound

      "I give up. He's yours." These were the last words Steffy said to her bestie Kayella before she closed her eyes and leave this wonderful world. I saw Kayella vociferate. She's with Carlo, Steffy's love. Why did Steffy say those words to Kayella? What was the story between the bestfriends and Carlo?

      While I'm sitting in front of Steffy's epitaph, I reminisce the past happenings.

       Second year high school, when I was stalking to my boy crush, I saw Steffy cleaning the pathway alone. I stop stalking and I helped her. She looked so kind. She asked what am I seeking at the windows. I felt so embarrassed. I did not think that my moves were very conspicious. We talked about our crushes and piffle things.  She told me that her love is Carlo, my classmate. Starting that day, we look like surveillance cameras to our crush and love. The two of us became friends and we're always having rapport by chatting each other. She also told me about her beloved bestfriend, Kayella. This was also the reason why she stayed away from me. Kayella was jealous regarding our closeness.

       One morning, when I'm quaffing coffee in the canteen, I saw Steffy walking and crying. At first, she didn't want to tell me why. Then, she asked me what will I do if she say that her health condition is conoissure. She told me that she had Terminal Heart Disease and she'll going to leave after 6 to 8 months. I felt harangue when I heard all those things. I can't believe. Tears rolled down on my cheeks. I don't want her to leave me very early. She's my friend, my only friend. She asked me not to tell anyone about her condition. Even to Kayella because her bestfriend is a knave, as she said. She also told me that there was no accommodation to her mind and heart to care for her.

     I got curious about what Steffi said, so I criticize every move of Kayella. One day, my classmate Micah asked me to appease the cellphone to Carlo. Without thinking of the word "privacy", there was something bothering me so I opened his cellphone and look for messages. Shockingly, I saw messages of Kayella to Carlo. She's flirting Carlo without Steffi knowing it. There, Kayella said that they will meet in Flower Garden at their school, their rendezvous, and said I love you to him but he did not answered back. I realized that Kayella is a faitour friend.

    Periodical Exam Day...

   As I walked along the corridor, I saw a claque of students shouting. There was an affray between Kayella and Steffy. They're fighting to win the love of Carlo and being dishonest of Kayella. Steffy did not carry the intense of their fight. She fell on the floor. She had heart attack. As we go along the hospital, I told them her condition. Kayella cried and she regret for doing rebound to her bestfriend. She sad that Carlo loves her too but I said it's too late. She's gone.

MY TEACHER, MY HERO!

          A mother, a friend, a sibling, these are her roles. She is like a pants inside the cabinet of t-shirts with different colors and styles. In short, there is a teacher inside a classroom teaching different students with different attitudes. Teacher is the one who teaches us educational things. She's the one who teaches us good morals. In my 11 years of being a student, there is a teacher who inspired me very much. She's Mrs. Myelene Hernandez, my Araling Panlipunan I and Computer Education II teacher.

          Back-stabbing is a very hurtful way I know that can break a teacher's heart. Honestly, once in my life, I also did back-stab to her. I am one of the students who is not listening to her when she's having discussions. I also came to the point that I'm laughing at her every time her grammar is wrong. We're always saying frank jokes about her. There was a time when our grades became low in CE II. From 90, it became 80. There were many bad comments on her regarding the lowering of grades. All of us blamed her. Then one day, she talked to us. She said that she's not that numb to be aware of back-stabbing on her. When tears rolled down to her cheeks, my conscience bothered me. It made me realized that I'm already over. Her tears made me realized that I was not been a good student to her since then. I realized that all I did is just criticizing her. Her tears changes my life. It changes the whole me. She made me strong enough to change, She made me study . She made me good. She inspired me so much.

          Ma'am Mye is really a hero for me. If I did not encounter her, maybe I'll be a bad student. Though she's not that professional, I know that her heart is full of good thoughts. Students should appreciate all the things that teachers have done to them. They treat us like their own children. Let them feel that they're welcome to our hearts like our real mother. Happy Teacher's Day!
