Decisions always change you

   Everyone has their own decisions in life. And these decisions may also result to anything either bad or good. This might change our path in life and will always affect our future. One of the most affected when we make decisions is our family. That's why when we make decisions, our family is always involved. Especially in situations when they are involved.

   In the stories Illiad and Aeneid, there was a situation experienced by the characters where they will need to choose between their family and home city.. Where they will need to choose between their family and their home city. In the case in the story of Illiad; Hector, the son of the king of of Troy, needed to defend his city from the Greeks who invaded them. His wife, Andromache, begs him to just save himself from the war and just escape with her. But Hector refused, as the son of the king, he needs to save his city even if he will die. In Aeneid, Aeneas wanted to save his family from the attack of the Greeks, but his wife, Creusa, wanted him to just protect their house during the attack. But Aeneas knew that they will just die if they stay, so he and his family went to escape. But his wife, Creusa, was left behind and she died. When Aeneas returned to the city, only Creusa's ghost appeared to him. Creusa told him to stay strong because he will have a good future towards him. Maybe, Creusa's death made Aeneas more determined to bring back their city.

   Decisions can lead to frustrations but they may also lead to success. When the two made their decisions, they must not regret it because even if it leads to success or failure it was their decision and they will need to do their best in order for it to be successful  Everything happens for a reason. And may all of us accept this fact and don't be frustrated if we lose or fail. Lets just accept it and think that it was not for us for that moment but later will be.

Victory caused by Defeats

   Defeat is a very lonely moment that you should always accept. All things happens for a reason. Like Aeneas, his city was defeated by the Greeks and was burned down. He lost many of his loved ones and this made him stronger. His King was killed by the time the Greeks attacked them. His father died when they faced a cyclops. Pallas, who was killed by Turnus. All of these defeats made Aeneas stronger. He wanted to avenge all of the people who sacrificed their life for him.

   Every challenge Aeneas face, he grows stronger and stronger, making him ready to face more challenges he will need to face. They never surrendered even though they are outnumbered already. They fought and fought until they succeeded. You will never reach victory if you don't gain experience in every challenges you face. You can never win without inspirations, the reasons why you wanted to win.

The Fallen Troy

   The city Troy was built by Trojans long time ago, and this Trojans are the enemies of the ancient Greeks. Aeneas was born in this ancient city and grew up here. The city falls by a betraying gift from the Greeks called "The Trojan Horse." This is a big wooden horse that was supposed to be a friendly gift from the Greeks to the Trojans. But it was a trap, there were hundreds of soldiers inside of the horse's belly and attacked the city of Troy. The city was destroyed and luckily, Aeneas escaped and flee with others who also survived the unexpected attack.


   I feel bad for Aeneas because at the time when Troy is being attacked, he can't do anything to save his home city. He also didn't get the chance to save his own wife and friends. All he had just done is escape and flee from his burning city. He saw his own city being destroyed by the Greeks. Everyone would feel bad for the tragic events. But Aeneas, I think, feel worse because he had a chance to save his city but he didn't grab it because he know that he can't save it anymore. The memories he left at the burning city are all gone including his love ones. He is all alone now, his wife dead, the person he love most that was always there for him now gone. And now of course, he thinks of avenging his wife, his friends, his home city from those cruel Greeks. And he will do everything to have his revenge on them.


   If Aeneas and the Trojans who survived the attack will go to found Rome, my feelings will not change. I will be happy for them because they had found a new home to settle in and may treat it as if it was Troy.

Crush =))

My dearest Achilles' heel,

From the moment I met you till up to the point I liked you, I'm just glad, and thank God for having you in my life. I know things happen for a reason, and people go through your life either a blessing or a lesson. I can't tell myself that you are the one for me. I can't promise anything but I'm willing to wait for the right time to come. Maybe we were the lucky ones, who are meant for each other. Who knows? God will tell, and time will take. Let's just leave it with destiny, I guess. =)

   
Love,
 
You x))



MY ACHILLES' HEEL

I sat alone in the corner
Not quite being with anyone
Watching her from the shadows
Her face, hidden from the sun

Her beauty was incomparable
For me, she was the goddess of all
Not only for her gorgeous nature
But for her beautiful heart like a shining mirror

My heart is beating, strong and true
The sounds grows louder, waiting is through
My feelings for you, they grow and grow
Staying still together, never wanting to go


The day I notice you was the second the best
And the day I have met you was the first
We sing a song of rainbows to the tune of a lullaby
You and I both wearing halos waiting for love to pass by

My own Inferno

     Applying Dante's Inferno to my student life, I could make the 7 most common mistakes of students as the circles. The First Circle would be coming to school late, If a student always come to school past seven o'clock then that student would fall to this circle. The punishment to this circle is an infinite ammo of chalks to be fired to you. You will suffer the tough bullets of chalks. The second circle would be not cleaning the students respective area. The student will suffer a chalk-dust storm in a middle of a dessert. The third circle would be forgetting the homework done at home. The punishment for this will be wearing a school bag 10 times heavier than the weight of the student at a mountain peek. The fourth circle would be forgetting the  student's books or notebooks at home. The student will receive a punishment of swimming at a pool of papers non-stop. The fifth circle would be sleeping in class hours. The student will receive a punishment of looking to a fire without closing his eyes. The student will stare at the fire forever. The sixth circle would chewing a bubble gum during class discussions. The punishment would be being at the center of a very sticky bubblegum and has no escape. The seventh circle would be not throwing of garbage to their proper disposal. The punishment would be a very hard kick that will throw the student out infinite times.

    This is my own version of Inferno. Its all about the common mistakes done everyday by students in their school. With this inferno, they will have punishments to the things that they will do.

My Teacher, My Hero

      My teacher is my hero. Teachers are students second parent. They guide us in our class hours and give us the correct advice for our situations. They are there to teach us the lessons not only in academics but also in the lessons in life. They show us right manners and correct discipline.

   “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you”.  I read this quotation in google. It inspired me beacuse it gave a meaning to me and it made me to remember my most unforgettable teacher, Mr. Macky Limitares. He’s my grade 5 teacher. He is a cool and kind teacher. He is our Science teacher and he is very intelligent. I remember that he taught us to use master’s facial wash every time we meet at the boys rest room. He is used to jokes and knows many things about crushes. Hope that I sill still meet him soon because I have so many stories for him.

   The children who were able to study are so lucky. They met the teachers who taught them many lessons and helped them in their lives. The only way to thank them is to be good and kind student to them and to greet the a Happy Teacher’s Day! So Happy Teacher’s Day Sir Macky!

To Be or Not To Be

To Be or Not To Be
A Question that requires the best decisions
A question that will shape our future
A question that will make our destiny

To Be or Not To Be
You should know how to choose correctly
A wrong decision could make catastrophe
and will lead to failing

To Be or Not To Be
We should be careful what to pick
So everything will turn out its best
for us to don't have regrets
