Differences and Similarities Doesn’t differ that Much

          Our lives would be so much happier if it has less drama. But, it seems to be inconceivable that life wouldn't give any challenges that we will inevitably have to face. Life, it plays tricks on us. We musn’t give up on these problems and face different kinds of consequences. We're all part of the same sick little games and we usually get caught up in that moment, struggling to find our way out. An example is choosing between two people that you know that if you choose one, the other would be hurt All of us fight. Why do you think we fight? We fight because we do it for the memories we have. To be able for this memories to remain there forever, one must do something. Though we want to make more memories, happy memories, we end up taking the wrong way. Aeneas and Hector they both into war, but they have the same trait which is faith, they have this in order to save those happy memories of their family from fading.

The same thing goes with Creusa and Andromache. Two different wives yet they both have hope. Both begged their husbands not to get in the war zone but they insisted to get through. Aeneas loved his family so much that he chose to save his homeland trying to cease the existence of his enemies in hopes of seeing his family again.

Ultimate Victory Through Defeat and Terrible Loss

            “Ultimate Victory Through Defeat and Terrible Loss.” Everyone of us has this one thing or maybe not one instead much of which we did but ended up regretting so. Things like this result to misunderstandings that lead to endings we never really much expect. But even so these things happen, it doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to learn from them. Actually there are a lot things you can learn from the things you have regretted.

            "Great victory, comes with great sacrifice." This line says it all. In order to achieve that victory that we want, sacrifices and hardships are very welcomed indeed. Sometimes, even our pride is on the line, we need to swallow it in order for us to achieve this victory. Victory can never be achieved by dirty means, you have to stive and work hard for it. Sometimes, though we try our best in everything we do, we think it’s still not enough to keep us on moving forward. Like what it says in the line, various sacrifices are needed in order to attain this. Once, I watched ‘3 Idiots’ and realized that hard work itself isn’t the onlt way to reach our stardom. Sacrifices like giving up what you really like in order to concentrate in what you need to do and to be able to attain victory.

            Once we reach Victory, it isn’t as easy as what we think. We need to continue to work hard in order for us to be able to stay to where we are. Sometimes, we try really hard to get there, but when we’re already there, we get tired, making all our hardship to be wasted. Aenied told me to strive and work hard but not just that but I also learned sacrifice.

Is it Already too Late to Start Over?

           Seeing your native land, your hometown, falling and stumbling, of course you or I would feel sympathy for it. Being raised there, you have that feeling inside you, that feeling that you want to protect your locality. But then there it came, the time in which it falls and there you are seeing it with your own eyes, that you can’t do anything to protect it being powerless and all. So there you are vulnerable and defenseless making the memories you have made within this land remain only in your memory.

            Aeneas is a true man indeed. After reading the book, aeneid, aeneas is a kind of man who wouldn’t stop to try and try until he get what he wants, which is to rule of his own. While going through the book, I wondered and thought of what would happen next on his journey, will he continue to strive for the goal he wishes to achieve? Or would quit in the middle of a game that he’s facing with the hardships he would face. At first, i pitied him, who wouldn’t? Who wouldn’t pity a man, that with his own eyes, saw the downfall of his own native land at the same time, couldn’t protect it? To think that this very dear land that you lived for years to just dissapear. If i were him despair would fill up my mind and I would just wish for my death to come. But no, Aeneas didn’t. He had a goal. And that’s one of the reasons i adore him.

            When we think of things such as we want to end our life, others advise us that as long as we’re living there’s still hope. Failures aren’t the end our our long journey, they are only a small part of it. Like Aeneas, though he faced a lot of hardship from the moment he went away to search for his goal, he never failed to move forward. He’s an example of an inspiration for us students to keep moving forward and to never give up just to reach that goal you want.

Mona Lisa’s Peculiar Emotion

             Everyone of us know who Mona Lisa is, or maybe not who Mona Lisa is for it’s still a mystery for everyone of us but instead the painting with the name ‘Mona Lisa’. Mona Lisa means lady-like, modest, those kind of images. Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci during the old times. It wasn’t that famous at first but after it was bought and was seen by the whole world, it became really popular. But in reality, Mona Lisa’s still a mystery, no one knows who the person Mona Lisa came from, even though many researched on the whereabouts about Mona Lisa, it’s still a mystery that can’t be solved.

            Pretty much all of us, including me, never thought there would so much story and drama behind Mona Lisa’s smile. Because everyone was excessively intrigued on who that person really was, they made assumptions to where Mona Lisa has the same personality of being lady-like. They made assumptions that Mona Lisa was the princess, yes the princess for I don’t remember the name of that specific princess. Others even said that Mona Lisa was the painter itself. What you can’t express to others, you put it into art. Many other people were intrigued on Mona Lisa’s mystic smile, it’s like you can feel many emotions in this smile that can’t be explained if you don’t study it well.

            I never knew this could be this peculiar. All I know was Mona Lisa is a very famous paint, painted by a famous painter. Though I really love arts, and if I continue doing this to the future, I think I should know more on some histories of paintings, painters and such in order to create a magnificent masterpiece the same as Mona Lisa.

Meeting Him Was Blue Like I’d Ever Known

                At first historical persons doesn't seem too appealing for me, well, that was at first. Now I realized that these historical persons are really important. Why? That is because they made an impact that would forever be remembered by the people who saw or knew it.

                If given a chance, which historical person would I choose? For me, I would choose President Marcos. First of all, I thought about our country, I really think that our country is very bountiful from resources and stuff but there is something preventing it from going to the top, by the top is I mean the success we should get and receive. First I would thank him for being a strict president, during these times, people here in the Philippines were very disciplined. But now? Robbery everywhere and stuff. Killing each other’s and so on.  I would also ask him why he debted so so much.

                Having a chance to do this would be the best.

The Rightful Punishments

                I kind of actually dreamt of something weird. You see, in my dream, it was very confusing, I don’t know, maybe because dreams are always so confusing. I was strolling along a dark road, alone. All by myself. I don’t really go around by myself for I am such a coward, but I didn’t know what happened. This is a dream after all. All of it felt so real I wasn’t really sure if it’s really a dream or not, one thing is sure, it was a cool adventure.

                As I was strolling around, I saw someone familiar, no, not someone, I know this people. Wait! These people are my classmates! I wonder what happened. They were being punished from being late. It turns out their punishment was to perform some hard tasks like push ups, even girls did those. Then everything became black and I saw people, my schoolmates being punished again for not having their proper uniforms. Their punishments are to parade around the school naked, now I know what to do when I go to school. Next, students were punished for bringing such gadgets such as phones; their punishment is that they should be put inside the boiling water. The next was about students with no assignments; their punishment is that they walk in a road with charcoals everywhere. Students with no projects were the next, same punishment as the students with no assignments but instead they walk in fire. Next were the students who disrespect their teachers, their punishment is their tongues would be cut so they can’t speak any words from now on. The last sin of all, are the students who cheat. Their punishment is that their whole body wil be burned.

                So in short, I think this wasn’t a so-much-fun adventure but you could learn many things from this like doing projects, assignments and such. Also respecting these teachers, are also a must. Doing these sinful things, a proper punishment should really be made.

Dear you, Myrooooon.

Uh, Hi there?

            To tell you the truth, though I'm a fan of reading romantic stuffs such as stories from mangas, books, fanfics, wattpad and etc, I'm not really fond of writing stuff like this. Stuffs like love letters about the person I really admire. It's the generation people, it's called the trend, people just go with it. Just kidding, I find love letters sweeter than chocolates can be.Well, nothing's really wrong for admiring you right? I mean, i know most crushes or admiration turn into love, but what I feel for you will be nothing like that, I think, you'll never know. :)

            As far as I know, I only write letters for my family and some friends. Lucky for you, you're the first ever guy that I admire whom I'm going to write a letter to. Though this is my first time writing a love letter, I don't really feel nervous. Maybe because what I have for isn't as deep as the oceans can be but only slight admiration.

           Seriously, writing a love letter is so not my interest. But the more i get to know you, and spend more time socializing with you, the more this admiration is growing. As I write more while thinking of you, though I don't get butterflies in my stomach like they say, I'm 'kinikilig' right now actually. You might wonder why I like you right? The past year, I only know and see you with your friends, but now, I can't believe I'm communicating with you even just a little. I really like, no, more like admire, how open minded you are to some things, I think it's really adorable.I think you didn't notice but you always make me laugh. You don't care about what the other people think of you and say what's inside your head. I always tell you how weird you are, but inside, I like your weirdness a lot. You're so cute I want to keep you all to myself. lol. Just kidding.

           Being able to see and talk to you is enough for me. I don't even need you to like me back. I like and that's enough. I don't know if you like someone, but if there is, the girl must be really lucky to be liked by you. I feel like you're a man who would take care of the girl he likes forever. I don't wan to give more clues about who you are. I don't even know if you're going to read this but I want to say sorry to you, because ama.. amalayer, JK, for I still don't the courage to really tell the world and you that 'I Like You'. Right now? Prioritize our studies first. :)


Sincerely Yours, Margareth.
