Texting vs English Grammar

          There's a huge difference in the grammar between Text and English. In the Text grammar, it shortens the words to be said "Example: FTW means For the win". And in the English grammar, its the normal thing.

          I don't use mobile devices like cellphones because I never liked them. That's why I can't answer this question, but instead I'll use my opinion. As much as I know, texting is a very popular way of communicating because people around the world have their own cellphones and other mobile devices. And I think that texting is an easy way to express the feelings of others because some of them send some GM's or Group Messages. But texting comes with a disadvantage in the human communication. It causes us to be lazy because in texting the words told are very short. And can only be understood by some people, although they don't have cellphones. Also some people uses texting language to communicate to others without knowing. In other words, texting affects the human language and grammar. That's why we should stop using Text language and grammar. But instead use the old fashion style of texting.

          Texting can be a real problem when it comes to the human language and grammar. That's why we should stop it while it is early.

A Sembreak to Remember

          Sembreak is an event wherein there's no classes and we can do whatever we want to do in a whole week. I started my sembreak by going to my classmate's house and played some games. In my mind, I told myself to enjoy this sembreak to the max.

          On the first and second day, I went to my classmate's house and started the overnight that we planned. All of us played computer first, then we went to Adrian's house to put our things. We then went to the carnival wherein we ride on the caterpillar and ferries wheel. After that, we went again in the computer and played dota until 11:00. After that, we went to Adrian's house and there we watched a movie entitle "The Conjuring" it was already 11:30. We were eating while we're watching the movie, some of the were frightened because they scare each other off. After we finished watching, we decided to go to bed. The next day, we decided to go to the basketball court and practiced some hoops. After that, all of us went home and the overnight party was over. The rest of my sembreak days were boring because I was just in the house doing nothing but to play computer games and sleep.

          Just as I thought, I can't enjoy my sembreak to the max because there are limits. But I don't regret it, if that's what I have to do then so be it.

Power of Love

          Love is a very special feeling wherein we feel differently when the girl/boy we like talked to us. There are many cases why we fall in love, a perfect example is when we met someone because of the internet. Internet improves our communication and because of these communications we can know people from other places.

          Yes, I have been in love several times but I never felt in love like this. It feels good especially when the one you like replies your message, say I miss you and appreciates the effort you make just to make her/him smile. I know that being in love is difficult because it must not disrupt your studies, you must not abused the girl/boy because they have their own lives. And also don't give all of your effort, because there might come a time when you break up and you will just realize that you put too much time for him/her. My old definition of love is "Love is a bug in the human body wherein it destroys both physical and mental balance." And my new definition of love is "Love is a special feeling wherein nothing can block your love for him/her. Distance, height, weight is just number in love." I would love a girl because she gives inspiration and because I really love that girl. I like a girl who is caring, loving, kind, cute, and most of all loyal.

          I would say that I am really in love with a girl and because of this I became more industrious and serious than ever. Just like what I've said distance, height and weight is really just a number because when two hearts really love each other nothing can block it.

Dearest Teachers

          Happy Teachers Day! To all of the great teachers in the world. As usual, we give flowers, eat like there's a fiesta and celebrate like there's no tomorrow that's what teachers day is all about. We celebrate teachers day because we want to thank them for their guidance and the knowledge that they gave us. Every single teacher in the world deserves a rose and a kiss in every student of their.

          I would like to thank all the teachers of Amaya Elementary School and Cavite National Science High School. Especially my advisers they really help me throughout my life. Teachers, our second parent and one of our best friends. We share our emotions, opinions, feelings, hatreds and more. They intended to listen to us and even give us some advises that would help us control this feeling and even forgive. Because of them I learn that we should appreciate being with them because there will come a time that we would go to a university and have our own family. And we may forget them, so that's why we must cherish it and make it to the fullest while we can because we can't bring back time. That's why I wrote this essay, not only to the teachers but also to the students like myself that we should cherish each moment in life. For we don't know when or how it will end.

          Again, happy teachers day to all the teachers in the world! May God bless you all and thank you for everything that you've done to us.

Revenge of the Fallen

                Julius Caesar’s generals, Macbeth and Banquo, encounter three strange women on their way home after quelling a rebellion. The women prophesy that Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor then become the King of Scotland while Banquo’s heirs will become kings. The three strange women disappeared. Upon arriving, Macbeth was given the title of Thane of Cawdor. To celebrate, Julius Caesar visits Macbeth’s place. Macbeth planned on assassinating Julius Caesar while sleeping. Later that night, while all are sleeping, Macbeth kills the king and his guards.
                Julius Caesar was killed by Macbeth, allowing him to take the throne. He marries Gertrude. Julius Caesar’s ghost appears to his son, Hamlet. Hamlet learns of his father’s death and seeks revenge! Hamlet became a little crazy after this. He visits Juliet and looks crazy to her. Juliet told this to Polonius and Polonius discussed this to Macbeth. They formed a plan to confirm Polonius suspicions.
 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who were asked to find out what bothers Hamlet, tell him of the drama group who will be performing. Hamlet gets an idea and asked the performers to play to perform the Murder of Gonzago, modified a little by him to reflect what Macbeth did to kill Julius Caesar. Polonius and Macbeth go through with their plan and have Juliet talk to Hamlet while they listen in. They found nothing suspicious but Polonius was not convinced. They then form a new plan; it is to have Hamlet talk with Gertrude in her chambers while Polonius listen behind the tapestry.
Macbeth watched the play of the murder of Gonzago then walked out, Hamlet celebrates that reaction. Polonius then tells Hamlet that Gertrude wants to talk to him in her chamber. At the mean time, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were ordered to give a letter to the king of England with Hamlet. Hamlet was planning to kill Macbeth while he prays but didn’t do it. He then went to Gertude’s chamber to talk. Hamlet spoke harsh words to Gertrude and Gertrude yells for help. Polonius who was listening behind the tapestry helped Gertrude but Hamlet stabbed him without knowing who was behind the tapestry. Hamlet scolds Gertrude some more then the ghost of Julius Caesar showed to Hamlet and calmed him down. He reminds him that he’s to take revenge from Macbeth not to Gertrude.  Hamlet leaves taking Polonius body.
Gertrude told Macbeth about Polonius murder then Macbeth ordered everyone to search for the body. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern asked Hamlet where the body was. Hamlet said it’s down the hall. Macbeth sent Hamlet with his two close friends to England for their own protection. They leave. While on the ship, Hamlet finds the letter and rewrites it to order the execution of his two close friends instead. Hamlet was taken prisoner by the pirates until Hamlet returns to Elsinore. He writes letter and Horatio helps Hamlet to deliver those letter. Before that, Juliet gets crazy over his father’s death. Laertes returns from France and demands answers from Macbeth. Macbeth told Laertes that it is Hamlet to be blame then they devised a plan to kill hamlet.

                Juliet drowns herself and she is buried. Before she is buried, Hamlet and Laertes wrestle at Juliet’ funeral. Osric stopped Laertes and Hamlet and asked them to duel in front of the king and queen. They both agreed. Macbeth and Laertes prepared the poisoned wine and poisoned sword. Gertrude accidentally drinks the wine that Macbeth prepared.  Laertes wounds Hamlet with his sword. They rest then the swords are mixed up. Hamlet wounds Laertes. Laertes then told about the poisoned sword and wine. Gertrude then dies. Having heard of the poisoned sword and wine, Hamlet stabs Macbeth and made him drink the poisoned wine. Hamlet dies shortly after. Fotinbras, the son of Pompey, arrives. Horatio, being the sole survivor told them the whole story. In the end, Fortinbras claimed the kingdom and became the king.

"Fair is foul, foul is fair"

          "Fair is foul, foul is fair" one of most commonly used line in Macbeth. It was recited by Hag one of the three witches who fool and play Macbeth. 

          If you would ask me what I think of this line. My answer will be "the world is cruel". Fairness does not only mean fairness itself but it means everything to me. That goes the same for foul, it is not the foul we get from playing basketball or other sports. I will recite one of most unforgettable experience in my life. When I was still an elementary student, I got bullied most of the time. That's why I prefer to be alone rather than being with others. Instead of spending my time socializing, I devoted my life on computer learning how to do some programming. In my early age, I learned that there's no one I can trust. Until now, I never trusted anyone because I might feel that same emotion again. That's why I never reveal my true feelings to others, they just see the fake me. The fake me is happy, friendly, sociable, patient, lovable and curious. Unlike the real me, I always wanted to go alone because I know that there's no one for me. You would always see me smile but the truth is I'm sad. You would see me talking a lot and having fun with others but the truth is I prefer alone. 

          That's why I believed that the world itself is cruel. I prefer alone rather than socializing with others. That's why I keep asking myself "What's my purpose here?"

Climax at it's peak

          What is the climax of the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream"? Before we answer this question, let us first be familiarized with the play. A midsummer Night's Dream is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is said that A midsummer Night's Dream was written in the same time as Romeo and Juliet. For both of these plays have similarities.

          If you would ask me, my answer is when Puck encounters Lysander and Hermia. And Puck thought that Lysander is the Athenian who Oberon is speaking, and then Puck afflicts him with the love potion. I chose this scene as the climax because I believe that this is the root cause of the fights between Hermia and Helena, and Demetrius and Lysander. Another reason, this is where the highest peak of the play happened especially when both parties argue. 

          Based on my understandings about the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the climax is when Puck afflicts Lysander with the love potion. And that's my opinion based on my understandings about the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
