Victory with a twist


                Victory is at the same time success upon a lot of trials and hardship. Before achieving victory, one must undergo through a lot of sacrifices and hard work. In the case of Aeneas, he had lost most of his love ones during the fall of Troy and the war. King Priam was killed together with Creusa who was lost as he was escaping the agonizing fate. His father Anchises who died in Drepanum where they had faced a great Cyclops. Pallas who was killed by the merciless man named Turnus. All of this death has a great impact on Aeneas.

                The deaths of his love ones made him stronger and determined to defeat Turnus. Though he had undergone too much sacrifices and defeat  he continued fighting even though they are outnumbered they still won the battle. In reality, there is always a chance that you will lose. One can never win all throughout their lives without losing. From losing, they will know their mistake and adjust it to be better.

                To emerge victorious you must undergo a lot of obstacles and hindrances with this obstacles can make you learn a lot of things and will lead you to success. The failures in life are just nothing but spices of victory that are really a part of it. What is a good food without a little spice?

A Choice to Live With




                There was a part in the book Aeneid where he stated a place where he was born and gre up. Troy, was an ancient city which was built by the Trojans, who were against the Greeks. the fall of the city begins upon the entering of the "Trojan Horse" which they knew that it was only a gift, and a symbol of peace between the Greeks and Trojans. But it was different of what they expected, when night falls hundreds of Greek warriors went out destroying Troy.

                I feel sympathy on Aeneas because watching your beloved land being destroyed by hundreds of enemy soldiers just being destroyed was just sad and horrible. All the memories, person you know, will disappear in your own sight. Aeneas lost some of his closest friends and even his loved ones including Creusa, his wife. As a man, it could ignite so much hatred and agony inside your heart, and might make you feel like killing yourself because you have no reason to live, when you lost your wife that you loved and cared for a very long time. I also felt the feeling when Aeneas left the city, unable to protect it. You must be very guilty your own self for not doing anything to protect your homeland and at the same time, thinking of going back and avenge the ones you lost. 

                If Aeneas and the other Trojans will live to found Rome, my feelings will not change. I will be glad if they had found it because they have contributed in the history of Rome and see how they will live like they were in Troy. The choice of Aeneas to flee and escape from the agonizing fate in Rome is a good choice for he himself is destined to find Rome and thus build the new Troy.

Fave Hero :D

         One peaceful evening I was outside of our house observing the trees and leaves sway when the wind blows. I was surprised when a man named Andres Bonifacio sat next to me. I was very glad to see him and had an opportunity to talk to him.

        We started to talk and share some stories of our life. He shared his life starting from the cry of balintawak. He said that he is very angry at the spanish conquerors. Then he shared his battle with the Spanish soldiers. He added that whenever he kills an enemy the only thing in his mind was his country. He also shared to me that he idolize Dr. Jose Rizal much. I asked him about his education and he told me that you really do not need to be educated to save your country you just have to learn how to love your native land.

        We have a lot of sharing and questions for each other. I was so amazed of how he answer me, it was just so intellectual and full of thoughts. He is really a great hero. Andres Bonifacio is really, my favorite hero. :D


Accidental Discovery

   One gloomy morning Elli, IC, and I were wandering in the campus when suddenly IC discovered a new path which we haven't seen for more than 2 years stay on our school. Elli got so curios that he pulled us both to the newly discovered path. We are all surprised of what we saw. There were 7 rooms each room was for us to find out

  We have had an idea that this was a punishment area so we have to check it out.


On the First Room namely the "Room for Late Comers" this is where we saw students writing some sort of a letter and filling up some lists. It was really a very light sin.

On the Second Room were we saw the "Room for Late Projects" in here we saw a lot of students cramming.They were given a chance by a great teacher guarding the gate. If they are not able to comply after given the chance they are scolded and sent at the back of the room standing and facing the wall for 1 hour.

On the Third Room was the room named "Room for No Identification" this is where the students with no Identification Card are sent, like in the first room they have to write a letter and they have to wait for the guardian of the room to open the door for them.

On the Fourth Room was the "Room for Copycats" in here are the students who have been caught copying and what they have to do is to copy 3 encyclopedias for a day non-stop.

On the Fifth Room was the "Room for Cheaters" the students that are placed here are the one those who have been caught cheating, they are the students who are using some sort of "kodigo" in their tesrs and correcting some items even if its wrong. Here they have to take a very difficult test and they have to explain each numbet why they have answered that, they have to get at least 85% in order to get out.

On the Sixth Room was the "Room for Bad Attitude" this are the students who are very war freak and always gets into fights. They always tease someone else neglecting the feelings they hurt. In here they have to write sorry for 10 000 times to those they have teased and for those who always gets into fight will be scolded for 4 weeks straight.

On the Seventh Room the last we have seen and the end of the path discovered was the "Room for Policy Disobeyers" this students are the one who doesn't know how to follow the school policy.They are all scolded for 4 weeks straight and have to write a letter to the head of the school with 100 pages and roam around the school with a banner ar their back contaning "I will follow the school policy" for a day.

It was a great adventure and taught me a lot of lesson. What a day! :D

Naruto Vs. Bleach

Me, together with my friends discussed about our favorite anime that we watch during weekends while we are sitting at the Pavilion.

"Hey guys, What is the best anime", Harry said.

"Bleach or Naruto", Ian said.

"I say Bleach", I said to them.

"Mine is Naruto", Jad said.

Then Harry said that it was Bleach but Ian said that it was Naruto.

"I saw a site and it is said that Naruto is the anime with the most episodes" , Jad said to us.

"But Bleach has a better story and it is less confusing", I said to them.

"By the way, who's your favorite character in Naruto?",Ian asked.

Jad and Ian said that Minato is their favorite character because he's awesome and his fastest teleporting skill in Naruto.

Me and Harry said that Kakashi was our favorite character because of his dogs and his Sharingan in his eye that can do a lot of strange things.

"How about in Bleach?", Harry asked.

"Mine is Ichigo, beacuse of his bankai and the effect of it the gives him greater speed in combat." I replied.

"Kenpachi, because he is very strong. Even without bankai, he is still one of the strongest ." Ian said

Harry replied that it was also Kenpachi because he was so powerful.

"Mine is Rangiku for she has a very awesome sword", Jad said.

"Both of these animes were good and we should watch them to learn some lessons in it" Harry said.

We agreed to what had Harry said.

For you

It's not very hidden, I share it with all 


But to those who accept it, I will not let fall 


My love is deep, My love is pure 


And to those who are broken, will serve as a cure 


The look in your eye's, touch of your hand 


Will you join me, let me be your man 


I wish you the best, I'll give it my all 


I'll be there to catch you, whenever you fall 


The thoughts in my head, the things that I do 

I want you to know I'm thinking of you 


My love is deep, My love is pure 


I really do hope I can be your cure
