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.

Ma’am Cristina Pabillo, a Mother to Us

            It’s teacher’s day once again. A day for our heroes since we were kindergartens, a day for our second mothers, our teachers. They are the people who are always there for us when we have problems in our studies. But what is a teacher? In a dictionary, a teacher is the one who teaches but in real life, we all know what a real definition for a teacher is. A teacher can be your friend and ‘barkada’ or even your enemy at school, but one thing is for sure, they will never leave their students in times of trouble.

            So it’s the annual teachers’ day again. Every student and teacher is excited. Of course who wouldn’t be? This year, SSG (Student Supreme Council) asked every student in CNSHS to pay 30 for the teachers. They prepared buffets for our second mothers, not only that, but they also prepared a program for the teachers. It was very fun, some students watched it but some didn’t for that day was half day and they decided to go home instead or go somewhere they needed to go. According to some students who watched the program, the teachers, danced, laughed and many more. Ma’am Chato even danced ‘Gangnam Style they said.” That day was really fun for the teachers.

            These words aren’t enough to express our thanks for these second mothers who helped throughout our lives. We should cherish them, yes.  Some teachers are natural heroes, some even teach students on mountains just so that these students have some knowledge even if they can’t afford. Ma’am Tenny, was like a mother to us. If one of our classmates celebrates a birthday, all of us from II-F celebrates it! Ma’aTenny’s birthday was also unforgettable.  Also, we should respect them always. I know this isn’t enough as thanks but at least I showed it in this essay of mine. Salamat mga ma’am!
To be or not to be?

To be or not to be, that's the undying question
To be or not to be, needs some explanation
To be or not to be, everything needs a comparison
To be or not to be, prepare your explanation

To be or not to be, anything can be
To be or not to be, think what it can be
To be or not to be, just try it whatever you think
To be or not to be, don't mind what they say or think

To be or not to be, just trust yourself
To be or not to be, you can explain it by yourself
To be or not to be, go ahead and have some explanation
To be or not to be, end the undying question


The Comedy of Errors

The comedy of errors, a comedy by William Shakespear written in 1594. The play about two sets of identical twins separated as infants, and the absurdity surrounding their accidental reunion. The play is definitely full of foolishness, frippery, and that lack of deep content.

The play hinges on coincidence. When Antipholus of Syracuse arrives, the merchant pays him a thousand marks and simultaneously warns him that a Syracusan was arrested that very day. Antipholus of Syracuse therefore has a chance to immediately ransom Egeon, and be reunited with his father. But it turns out that he is too self-absorbed throughout the entire beginning, preferring instead to walk alone through the streets. This actually relates to the title, since error comes from the Latin to "wander." Thus the play is really about wandering, and characters trying to find their true identities. This is further played up in a humorous context by the two Dromios, who themselves are called bondsmen. Thus, when Dromio of Ephesus is bound, he turns and comments on the fact that he is now literally bound to his master.

And indeed, because this play is a comedy, everything that threatens  the laughter is eliminated at the end. it is not only the characters' confusion that is relieved by the final scene, in which the "errors" are explained and resolved; all the darker, unpleasant issues are resolved as well. Comedy of Errors? What do you expect? Of course, having comedy plus errors in the story, perfect ingridients for an excellent play.


A New Experience, NCAE


            Everybody loves new experiences. Who doesn’t? Of course when it comes into new experiences, everybody’s excited. This time it’s about NCAE, the test. Students are happy for it isn’t included for our grades but still, the students should still answer it whole heartedly. NCAE is for college purposes, to know what we really want in the future? But, what do I really want for my future?

            At first I dreamt of being a Doctor. Maybe because I loved science so much when I was an elementary students. Since Science when I was elementary was really easy, I think my grade there was at least 95 or something. That really made me want to become a doctor until I was a first year. And now, I’m a junior student in Cavite National Science High School. Many have changed including my interest to my future. Now I want to be a stewardess like my cousin. My real dream is to actually wonder around the world, to see it’s beauty. And a stewardess does that. So my choice now is I really want to bea stewardess and I’m going to take Tourism as my course.

            One or Two more years and we’re going to graduate already, time flies fast. I can still remember the happenings when I was still a freshmen student. I still don’t know anyone in this school. But now, I have a lot of friends, whom I know will never leave me. As we graduate, the next is our college life. I know I’m not making a regret by choosing Tourism as my course for I really like it and it’s my dream ever since. Fighting to me! J

It’s the Yearly Intramurals Again!
            Cavite National Science High School Intramurals 2012. As expected, many students are excited especially the ones who are exceedingly great at sports. CNSHS is just not for academics but also has students who excel very much in different sports. As for me, I like having the Intramurals very much for I like playing the sport Volleyball. Others find Intramurals as waste of time and boring, I suppose this is because they don’t have any sport to join to, resulting to their bitterness and hating Intramurals. Also, Intramurals is just not for sports, you can also meet new friends who have the same sport as you.
            Intramurals are indeed very exciting and fun. During games, you can cheer your lungs out, cheering for your favourite player, your crush, or your best friends or friends that are playing. Who doesn’t enjoy these kind of things? This activity is just once a year so you should do and enjoy every tiny little bit of it until it all ends. Our batch is really competitive when it comes to sports. When we were freshmen students we were second place in the over-all. From this day on, we expected that we would champions and first place for the next year’s intramurals. Sadly, during our sophomore year intramurals, we were again, ranked as second placer. So this year, again, we were expecting to take the intramurals by storm and win those games! Although it was raining non-stop during those days, we still continued our intramurals. Even though we didn’t finish all the games, it was indeed very memorable.
            This year’ intramurals, many conflicts rose. It all started with the junior and senior’s basketball-boys. During the game, juniors received so many fouls which made almost all junior students watching think there was some kind of cheating. Then the issue became big upto the point of telling hurtful things to the YSC president. But things are all solved now. We must learn how to appreciate everyone and always remember teamwork during games, also, the most important thing of all is being a good sportsman.

Is it More Important than our Mother Tongue?

            We all know that English is the Universal language that every person must study and learn to speak and understand in order to interact with people outside our country. Even though we have our own language, our mother tongue, we can’t deny the fact that we need this foreign language in order to succeed and become successful in the future. Still, what is more important? Our own language or the foreign language that we are going to need in the future? We know it’s not inferior to use other languages, but what if we’re already used to speaking this language that we already forgot what our real one is? Our mother tongue, Tagalog.

            Our school implements the rule ESC, English Speaking Campaign to make sure and to train students to become fluent and confident on speaking English. Many complain on why they should use English other than their mother tongue, Tagalog, knowing the reason for doing this is also for their own benefit. Still, many other people oppose, even though they know it’s for their own success. But how can we blame them? We’re born in this this country, our flesh and blood are pure Filipinos, and we have our own language, Tagalog, but they’re not using it, instead they use English. Some Filipinos abroad, who don’t speak Filipino, rather, English always. As time flows away, they forget their native language and speaks other language. Still, some Filipinos abroad love their native language and even though they use English in their everyday lives, they still know their mother tongue fluently than that foreign language they use.

            We should be proud of those people who even though they seldom use their native language and use English in their daily life, they can still speak Tagalog fluently. I have cousins in America that even though they speak English all the time; they still know how to speak in Tagalog. So when they go here in the Philippines for their vacation, they could speak with us in straight Tagalog. Although my other cousins can’t speak Tagalog that well, they could understand what we are saying in Tagalog. To me even though English is the international language, I’ll never forget my native tongue, my mother language, Tagalog.

Is it really worth it?

                        “Hey! Katrina! What were the numbers again?” As always, Kristine was excited and cheerful. She was my best friend since I was in kindergarten. She’s so affable and saccharine and always, always soenthuse about everything. I love her just the way she is.
“10, 14, 24, 5 and 21. Why?”
                        “whoa.” She was really amazed by what she was seeing, surprised that she was all speechless about this matter. Then she turned her face to me like it was going to burst into happiness.
                        “What’s the matter? It’s not like I won the lottery or something?” She looked at me and her eyes are becoming bigger than ever.
                        “Hey! Quit it! Why are you staring at me like that? Seriously, you’re creeping me out.”
                        “But it’s true” Kristine’s so strange, is she bonafide or something? So cheerful.
                        “What is true?”
                        “You won!”
“I what? I don’t like those kind of jokes stop it now, before I get angry here.”
                        “Well, I am not joking! This face of an angel is joking?! How dare you tell me that?”
                        “then what are you saying then?”
                        “Come here, I’ll show you. The rapporteur in the TV said it himself. Now carefully, look at the tv’s screen. What numbers do you see?”
                        “you expect me to see something when the tv is not even on? You stepped on the remote, you idiot.”
                       “Huh? I did?”
                       “Yes. So, now, I’m going to open it myself.” As I open the tv, numbers that were familiar to me before appeared to my eyes.
                       “Hey aren’t these..?” my voice was trembling from saying the words myself.
                       “Yes! You won! You won!” she said as she jumped and jumped all over our small bedroom.
                       “I can’t believe this. Is this really happening?”
                       “Yes! Just look at that! You won almost 50 Million Pesos! You’re rich!” I just can’t believe it. this and that, all happening to me at once. Is this true? In my mind words like “I’m rich?” was all i can think about. This is just so great! All of this Happenings!
                       “Kristine! Get ready now, were going out. Leave the champagne there. C’mon!”
                       “Huh, why?” she was a little confused, as usual. She’s a little slow when it comes to these things.
                       “We’re going to shop!” I sounded like an actress in a vaudeville. I actually want to have a vagabond life but when it comes to shopping, no one can stop me. Oh wait, I’ll go to my favourite coiffeur and coiffeuse later for my hair.
                       “What? Are you kidding me? We haven’t claimed your prize yet.”
                       “Hello? It’s 50 Million. We’ll just use my credit card for a while.” I said as I smirk. “don’t worry it’s all my treat.”
                        “But don’t waste it okay? Buy only the things you are going to use.”
                        “I know. Don’t worry.”
                        “But, I know you. Once you go shopping. You can’t stop yourself.”
                        “Stop blabbering nonsense. Come on, let’s go now.” I said as I grab her after changing our clothes.
                        “Come on! Let’s go there!” I told Kristine as we went to a clothing store. Kristine and I both bought so many things. I think we almost spent 500,000 in just that. This is the first time I’ve ever felt this Happiness.
                        “Hey, aren’t you spending too much money?’
                         “It’s fine! I have lots of money, I can spend it all as long as I want.”
                        “There you go again! And later you’ll be full of debts again!”
                        “How can I have debts when I have 50 million pesos?”
                        “Stop already buying voguish things! You should only use your money on important things, or you can invest it on some business!”
                        “Why do you even care? Are you my mother or something? Stop controlling my life! It’s my life so, I should be the one who’s supposed to be controlling it.”
                        “But, I don’t want you to repeat the same mistakes you made in your past!”
                        “You’re just jealous of me! For I am already rich!  And you?  You’re still poor and impecunious.”
                        “You are rich! But your personality is very bad!
                        “How dare you! I thought you were my friend!”
                         “I am your friend! But I don’t know if you think of me as one.”
“Fine!Adieu! Go away! You always walk out when we’re having fights! You’re the crass one!” How dare she do that to me? After all we’ve been through.  She’s my only best friend but shefugue me like that and went to the allee across the foodcourt. Fine! I don’t Care anymore! As long as I’m rich I’m fine!  She means absolute to me.
“Oh My! What’s that?An attar!It’s condign with this dress! Oh, that cheap? I’ll Buy it.”
                        “Oh, you want to buy this bag? Are you going to use cash or credit card?”
                        “Credit card, actually I won the lottery, and now I’m spending my money.”
“Oh, the latest winners of lottery?”
                        “What do you mean winners? I’m the only winner!”
                         “No. I think there were 50 or 60 winners. I watched it earlier that’s why I know. Wait, don’t tell me you don’t know that and been spending all of it?”
                        “I can’t believe it.” Is what I’m hearing true? Then I only won 1,000,000 pesos or less? But, I already spent 1,000,000 or more! No! this can’t be happening.
                         “I think you should claim your prize first before shopping this many, huh?,Heh.”
“Fine. I’ll come back for that bag!” This is the first time in my whole life that someone such as a saleslady can humiliate me like that! Wait! I know! I’ll go get my money.
                         “Here I am, *sigh* I need to be allay. “  “Excuse me? I won the lotto earlier, um, how many people won also?”
                       “Oh that.” The girl with patois, bowed as obeisance. “ there were many people who won. I think there were 42 people, oh 43, including you.”
“Oh no.There’s already no impasse. Because of this I lost my best friend I shouldn’t have done this. Now I lost everything. “

“Hardships Turn to Success”

            This world of ours is now full of crisis. Crisis here and there, crisis everywhere. It’s scaring me how this world is turning into a mess. If only each and every one of us would think first before acting then everything wouldn’t be a mess. Just like for an example, people throwing garbage’s everywhere, not knowing how it will affect the environment and may cause disasters such as floods. Still, can we prevent such crisis?

            Of course the answer is yes. We can still prevent these crises from happening. One of the common crisis experienced by most countries are crimes or their netizenz who are poor. There’s no one in this world who wants to commit crime unless they need to, you’ll never know, it might be for his dying mother, her sick father or just simply because of love. Love can show us the way, but keep in mind that it can also show us the devil we mustn’t listen to. These people who are poor, every one of us knows why, they don’t have proper job or career to earn money.  This can be because they didn’t finish studying when they were in our age. In order to prevent these from happening, we, students, must strive and word hard in order to surpass these incoming hardships.

             Studying hard is an option to prevent world crisis. We should strive hard to achieve the degree each and every one of us can have in order to have a proper life, away from crisis. Also, world crisis is also from those people who corrupt, even though they have proper degrees; they use it on evil things to our country. If we are one of them, we should think twice no, thrice in our decisions in life. I may be a student now, but I know how to separate well from bad things, unlike the others, that even though they know it’s bad, they still continue on doing it for the sake of their selfishness. 

“It All started With a Kiss”

            So our next blog is about a funny ending on Romeo and Juliet. I’m not really a fan of Comedy. In movies, yes, I do support romantic comedy movies but the only thing that interest me there is romance. So this is like an introduction about my essay. I will really try my best so um, this essay/ending of Romeo and Juliet would be a funny one. So I’ll start here.
           
            Romeo, not knowing the plan of Juliet and Friar Lawrence went to Verona, before reaching the place he bought a bottle of poison from a man. When he reached the place where Juliet’s dead body is located, he, for the last time, showed his love for Juliet and drinks the posion. While Romeo was drinking the poison, Juliet woke up and saw what Romeo was doing. She shoved the bottle of poison to ground and it broke to pieces. As seconds pass by, Romeo became a frog. Juliet shrieked from terror as she sees the love of her life becoming a frog. Romeo didn’t know that the man’s poison and some unknown potion got mixed up and gave him the wrong one. Friar Lawrence came and helped Juliet and her frog, Romeo to escape and he brought them to the church. A day passed and the Capulets and Montagues already knew about Juliet’s lie. They went to Friar Lawrence and Friar Lawrence explained what had happened including the frog incident. All of them laughed from disbelief. But then, Juliet made a condition on both families. If she could make Romeo the frog human again, then the two families would have to reconcile and She and Romeo could live together. The two heads of the families, still laughing, agreed on Juliet’s wish.

            Later that day infront of the two families, Juliet kissed the frog, Romeo and everyone shrieked from disgust. A princess kissing a frog? How despicable. But then everyone turned their eyes on the frog. The frog became human again! And it was really Romeo! From then on the two families can’t believe Juliet tricked them and they soon reconcile for a man can’t break their promise. The whole Verona rejoices as the couple becomes together.

“Her Knight in Shining Armour”

            Every one of us is a fan of happy endings, well, except for those who like tragedies. Mostly girls, like us are a fan of happy endings. The story Romeo and Juliet is an example of tragedy, many cried while watching it. But what if the story had a happy ending? What Romeo knew about Juliet and Friar Lawrence’s plans? Would it be as famous as it is now? If I could change its ending, of course like every girl would do, I would make the ending a perfect happily ever after. So, it starts here.

           The messenger successfully delivered Romeo the letter of their plan on Juliet’s secret death. Romeo waited, and finally, Juliet arrived with Friar Lawrence with tears from her eyes from to much happiness that finally she can be with the love of her life. Little did they know, Paris was behind them all the time and is ready to tell Capulets what really had happened. But then Juliet saw Paris and shrieked. They cornered Paris with their swords, they’re too many too handle Paris so, he just gave up. Later on, they explained everything to Paris. Their love, sacrifices, the betrayals, everything, they begged Paris not to tell anyone. Paris softened from what he heard, he promised to never spill their secret to anyone. Everyone rejoiced with Paris’ decision. When Paris was already travelling back to Verona, she met a Woman his age and immediately fell in love with her. The woman, he knew later on, was Romeo’s cousin, still he didn’t care even if she’s a Montague. Everything was perfect then, except in Verona. The war between two families worsen, with Romeo banished and Juliet’s death, they blamed each other’s families for what happened. When Paris came back to Verona with his girl, everyone was surprised, he loved Juliet so much but now, he’s married to this woman. This made Capulet furious, he cursed the Montague’s for stealing Paris away from them and marrying a Montague instead. The war from worse, became the worst, even the Prince can’t control them anymore.

            Years later, Paris, his wife and their beautiful 2-year old daughter came to visit Romeo and Juliet with their handsome 4-year old son. They told them about the unstoppable war happening between their families. Romeo and Juliet decided to return to Verona and stop the war between their families. As soon as they came in Verona, they saw how both families are fighting. As the people saw them, they immediately stopped fighting and looked at Romeo and Juliet, mouths dropping from being surprised. Romeo and Juliet begged their families to stop fighting, at first they didn’t listen to them but after they saw their son and Paris’ daughter getting along so well despite their past, their hearts melted and forgave each other. Years later, Romeo and Juliet’s son and Paris and Paris’ wife’s daughter fell in love and married making the whole city of Verona rejoice.
