Conversation with my Idol

I dreamed that someday I can talk to my Idol from the past and this day became true. I feel nervous at the same time I'm excited. I didn't think of anything but him. I'm thinking on what I'm going to say and ask to him. I feel the happiness inside me as he come closer to me.

Diamond cutters International created the first "masterpiece cube" for the Rubik's cube 15th birthday. The cube was fully functional and was made from a solid gold and encrusted with colored jewels and it is 185 carat cube.

Ira: WOW! a cube made from gold and jewels. I think it is very expensive. I wish I can be like you. As of now, what are you going to do?

Mr. Erno: Now, I'm enjoying my retirement. The World Cube Association manage the competitions for speedcubing all over the world. The Rubik's Studio continues to design games and work with young designers in Hungary and beyond.

Ira: Goodbye! Mr. Erno Rubik.

This time that I talked to my Idol, I was very happy like I reached the Nirvana. Even thought it is a short time, it doesn't matter at all.

Is Txting affecting ur eng. language?

            Texting is a way of communication all over the world. It helps people to get updates and to make updates. In texting, some use shortcuts to their sentences, but, is texting affecting your english language?

            We use phones and other applications for communicating. We also use computers for chatting. As we all know, the Philippines is the Texting capital of the world. Filipinos always text or send messages all over our country. Maybe this is one of the cause of the wrong grammars, and lack of knowledge in the english language. Sometimes I use "un as yun ", "dto as dito", and other shortcuts. If this shortcuts are use every time, you will accidentally use it writing sentences. Another reason why do people use shortcuts is because of they want reply faster.

            I don't know if there's a problem using those shortcuts in texting that affects your knowledge about english language. I seldom use shortcuts, for a reason of making my reply a little bit faster than texting it in a complete sentence. For me, it affects me a little when I text a lot.

           

SemBreak

                           Its our semestral break now, It is a week of rest and melancholy for others. Before the sembreak, It felt slow for me. It was the last week of October. Other working people had their vacation in provinces and they are preparing for the all soul's day.

                          On the first day of our sembreak, I was happy because I can sleep at rest but I was also worried about my grades. This day I also got the package from my friend. My friend kuya Mark sent me the puzzle that I bought to him. My younger siblings had their Halloween party in their school. I was alone in our house and I was Bored. On the second day, I didn't do anything and I just played my twisty puzzles. I was also thinking on how can I pass my grades this 3rd grading.

                          Last October 28 was my mother's birthday at the same time it was also baranggay elections. After my mother's birthday I did the same things, also on the next and next and next days. I didn't remember that there's homeworks and projects. I started doing it on October 31. I only finished my suring tanghalan and blog and others are not done.

                          November 1 is the day that people visit the cemetery for their dead relatives. They gave flowers, candles and prayers for the spirits. My family didn't visit for this year because my mother was so busy in her business. We only lighted the candles that my mother bought and we pray. Another reason for that, is because there are so many people visiting.

                         It is already november 3, "tomorrow, the class will resume". I felt excited because my father will go home tomorrow morning. I checked if I did my assignments and slept early. I realize I didn't do anything this sembreak. I am contented in one week of rest and I enjoyed it.
                       

Feeling of Falling Inlove

                 Most people fall in love many times and some only once. Others says Love hurts thats why others don't want to be in love, but for me it's not true because you'll be hurt if you're lonely and you're rejected by the person you love. Many people knows how to fall in love but they can't stay for a long time.

                 I have been in love. Being in love change my attitude quite a bit. It seems that I have a special feelings for that person. When you're inlove it feels your feelings is different to that particular person. It feels like I always want to be with her, She always comes in my mind, deep inside I feel very happy if I'm with her, but me i can't say those words I want to say to her. I am a too coward to say what I feel.

                 Love is a feeling that sometimes you can't control. True Love is the one who covers up the pain you feel and make you happy. Love change your life, attitude, and even your beliefs. Others says that love hurts, and you will be hurt if you keep expecting too much.

                I would love a girl not by her physical appearance and I would love a girl by her attitude and with a good character. I want a girl that can understand my situation, a girl that can help me in my problems, a girl that can be with me every time, and a girl that can accept my imperfections.

My Teacher is My Hero

                 People need to study in order to reach their own goals in life. We should know how to write, speak and even spell a word, to compute and to analyze. But we could not learn this all If there were no TEACHERS. What are teachers? how hard do they work?

                 TEACHERS are the one who teach students, they are our second parents, they discipline us, they give us  moral lessons, they correct us if we made mistakes. That's what a teacher do. TEACHERS give their best for us to learn, they work for us, they want to finish they lesson plans just for us students.

                TEACHERS maybe sometimes scary for us because they scold us so much. And some TEACHERS are like our elder brother or sister. They make bonding with us 5 times a week. For them, students are their inspiration if the student is trying hard. They give us love just like there real son and daughter. As our level goes up in School they teaches us how to be INDEPENDENT.

                For now, we might think that there are annoying when they are scolding us. They scold us because we should know that we did is not right. TEACHERS help us make our own decisions, they guide us to reach our goals, they are the HEROES of our life. In future we will thank our Teachers who help, guide, and loved us. They will be so happy If someday we become a successful person.

HAPPY WORLD TEACHERS DAY!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARDWORK!

Much Ado About Errors

Much Ado About Errors

Back in the 1500’s, there was once a nobleman named Claudio who lived in Milan, Italy. He served under the duke, Hamlet. Claudio had no family for they had all died so Hamlet took Claudio under his wing when he was but a wee lad. Hamlet gave him education, taught him the ways of battle, and gave him love and care unlike any other. Claudio was very good friends with Duke Hamlet’s son who was also named Hamlet. They took their lessons together, spared together, and they even shared a room. All was good and well until Duke Hamlet’s brother, Claudius, came into the picture. 

Claudius had his best scheme ever, planned for many months and refined so many times. Carefully, he would convince the people that Hamlet pays too much attention to his studies and that he does not have time to manage the town and help them with their problems. He would have his brother and his nephew killed before his very eyes, allowing him to take the title of Duke.    

On the ides of March, Claudius had carried out his plan. He had convinced the people that Hamlet doesn’t have time for them and that they should get a new duke. He also said that Hamlet and his son Hamlet should be executed. The people said that it was too harsh so they decided that Duke Hamlet will just be exiled.  When Hamlet and his son were exiled, Claudio had helped them get their necessities and helped them aboard a proper ship. When duke Hamlet was gone, Claudius had become the new Duke of Milan. 

One year later, a group of people including Claudius, Claudio and Ophelia decided to board a ship home to Milan from a wedding held in Africa that they had attended. During the past year, Duke Hamlet had diligently studied magic, the kind that could help him get his vengeance.  Though learning this magic would be long and perilous, he would stop at nothing to make them pay. During their voyage back to Milan, the ship faced terrible weather. Winds bellowed hard, waves crashed against the ship’s sides, and the sky roared rage. Shipwrecked, they reached a small island. When they washed up ashore, all their eyes met a pair of kind dark ones. It was Duke Hamlet, sporting a tunic of rags and a hermit’s beard. Everyone was surprised! Who knew that out of all the islands they could be shipwrecked in; they had to be washed up on Hamlet’s island? Duke Hamlet had welcomed them with a smile on his face, the friendliest smile ever. It was as if his exile had never happened. Duke Hamlet welcomed them into his home. As the cast-aways entered the house, Duke Hamlet stood by the door, holding it open for them. Claudius was the last person to enter. Duke Hamlet smiled even more and urged Claudius inside. Claudius smiled back and continued on. As he looked at Claudius’ back… he smiled a whole lot more.

A soothsayer passed by and told them “Beware the Ides of March!” Claudius walked away from the group for a while to calm his nerves; he was bothered about what the Soothsayer had said. He knew his brother and he was one to hold a deep grudge. Hamlet was wise and clever so he could have easily figured out that Claudius was the one who set him up. What if Hamlet wanted his revenge? What would he do then? No, he cannot meet his match just yet. He’ll convince the group of people who washed ashore with him to “take care” of Hamlet. They’ll sneak up on Hamlet when he’s alone, then strike him from the back, so he won’t be able to dodge the blade. 

Claudius was the leader of one group and Claudio was the leader of the other. Everything was going to go all according to plan… or so they thought. Little did they know what Claudio had in his mind, Claudio thought deeply all the time since this little assassination plan came to life a few hours ago. He thought and thought of what he could do that would keep suspicion off him until the assassination time AND save Hamlet… then it struck him. He knew what to do. It might have been the only way. Had things progressed differently, they might have all been enjoying a nice dinner together but no, Claudius had to take his last breath tonight. He wasn’t exactly sure on how to do it, but he would, definitely.

It was dark, eerie, and downright creepy that night. Everyone was in their places, knives in hand. Everyone there was to stab Hamlet. Claudio was running out of time. He slowly crawled away from where they were hiding. Since it was nighttime, nobody noticed him leave, especially since he had been quiet all day, making his presence unnoticeable. He went to find Hamlet and to warn him on what the group of men with knives was planning to do. He told him where Claudius was hiding.  He was so frantic because Claudius had asked Hamlet to meet him there to talk. The former duke initially thought that his brother was going to apologize… and then he would do the deed. Looking at Claudio with confident eyes, Duke Hamlet reassured him and told him to go back to his ambush position. Still very deeply concerned, Claudio obeyed the man who was a father to him.  

Everything was as Claudius planned. Former Duke Hamlet, his brother, was standing in the middle of the small circle of trees, where their group had spread out. Hamlet was there, patiently waiting for him… Urgh! The ever-patient look on his brother’s face just made him sick. He had it. Slowly and carefully, like a lion about to bite its prey, Claudius emerged from the shadows. Duke Hamlet saw him and greeted him with a smile, the best smile he had given all day, like he would never be able to smile ever again, so he was putting all that he had into this last smile… perfect. Whoosh! Claudius pounced at Hamlet and wrestled him to the ground. 

What?! The brothers were wrestling each other… and Duke Hamlet is winning? Claudio could not believe his eyes for Duke Hamlet, though he spent much time studying and researching along with the fact that Duke Hamlet was many years older, was immensely weaker than Claudio. He had to intervene; Duke Hamlet might be pushing his body to the brink of death by putting up a fight like this. He charged at the wrestling brothers. The lackeys saw him charging up to the brothers. This might be it! This might be the cue! They then charged as well, knives in hand, glimmering in the weak moonlight and ready for blood.

SHLUCK! SHINGK! 

Claudius abruptly stopped; he thought he heard something weird. The wind smelled coppery and it felt like his back was wet with his sweat. Oh well, might be his imagination.  He then lunged for his brother… then everything faded into black. 

While all of this is happening, Hamlet had met Ophelia and Ophelia fell in love with Hamlet yet, Hamlet didn’t love her. Puck saw this and decided to put the love juice on the eyelids of Hamlet so that he will fall in love with Ophelia. He succeeded and those two are now in loved with each other.

Duke Hamlet and the group of conspirators met and Duke Hamlet explained everything. He explained that all this time, Claudius is only fooling them. So they went back and arrived at Messina where the house of Leonato was.  They stayed there and Claudio met Hero, the daughter of Leonato.

Claudio and Hero spend time with each other. Due to this, they fell in love with each other. Claudio decided to have a party for Hero. On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet were talking on the Balcony. They are stating their love with each other and promised to meet again and marry each other the next day. Since Juliet wears the same type of clothing as Hero, Claudio mistook her as Hero and realized that Hero is cheating on him.

On the day of the wedding, Claudio said that Hero is not a virgin anymore and broadcasted it to the crowd. Hero felt a huge embarrassment. His family members decided to take Hero away. They told the crowd that Hero is dead already and Claudio mourned a lot. 

Juliet and Romeo’s love was broadcasted. Claudio realized that he was wrong so Leonato asked him to marry his niece. The day of the wedding came and Claudio married the true Hero. The ending became a triple wedding with Ophelia and Hamlet and Theseus and Hippolyta.
