To Be or Not To Be?



                                >disclaimer<

To be or not to be? That is the question
Whether your heart is troubled
Or full of ecstasy I'll never know
But I presume it's also full of sorrows
I believe so

To be or not to be? That is the question
It's the thought that confuses the mind
It's the doubt that you feel
That labyrinth in your head
That conscience telling you things you should or shouldn't 

To be or not be? A question getting too cliche
Are you really you or are you not?
Do you detest or praise thyself?
Whatever it is in your mind
Never forget to choose whats right.

Reaction: Comedy of Errors



     Another outstanding masterpiece of Shakespeare the ' Comedy of Errors'. What lies behind the title? Everyone is sure that it'll be a comedy but what errors are in it? This week classmates of mine have reported the story and some reactions need to be told.

    In reporting a play, everyone must consider the background of the said play. Was it originally Shakespeare's  idea? or was it someone else'?  Questions that we're in my mind after they've reported it, which was a shame that I didn't even got to ask it to them.  

    From the group, I saw that there were only two people who really understood the story and some not quite. The way they reported in front of the class was somewhat boring. Boring, meaning it's the usual thing everyone does. Read the one on the power point. That's it. For me that kind of way is getting to cliche, can't they all think of another was to report their work? It's not that I'm saying it's a terrible one, but, it's just that it's like wheel that goes round and round over and over.

   But in total, they somewhat reported well. I can't quite say anymore because we might do the same mistakes and who knows' what they'll say. An opinion is an opinion. But honestly, I believe they can do better well like I usually say c'est la vie.

NCAE



   First of all what's the NCAE for? Why did DepEd even bother to make this kind of test? What would it do or what help would it be to us students? These are some questions that a normal person would ask if he had no idea on that kind of test.

   A certain day was allotted for the third year students to take the NCAE ( National Career Assessment Examination). We were all alphabetized according to surname. And everyone was quite curious on the test that was about to be given to us. No one got anxious and no one even studied, since no one actually told us to get ready that hard. Everyone was just told to be mentally prepared and take the exam seriously since it was an exam to know the field that you're good at.

   I, myself, fully know the field that I'm somewhat good at. Why somewhat? It's because I can't say that I'm fully mastered with that subject but I can cope up. But honestly, my real field is in the field of arts. Arts is where I can fully express myself. It can be in a form of poetry, a story, a comic or a simple sketch or painting, it could also be in a form of song or if possible in a dance. 

   So as we took the examination I read and flipped through the pages quickly. As I reach the math part, I tried to answer most of the parts till I reach the last ten to fifteen numbers I gave up thinking and just guessed the answers. Well I read the problems but the answer just won't get in my mind. And as I reached the OIISSS, a 200 and plus question; well actually situations were given. Most of my answers were still in the field of arts and less on the field on science and non in the other categories, well maybe some on the health part.

   To be in a science high school requires a science field or math.While my chosen field isn't. I can't help it, though I try my best to cope up with the other subjects especially math and with the NCAE I hope that my chosen field would be the result. It may not be a science related subject but at least it's want.






Intrams, Fight of the Fittest




    Sports. It's a favorite event of anyone who's physically and mentally fit, well, actually someone who's just fond of getting energized. And just this past few days London has once again had its "Olympics". Olympics is an event wherein athletes from around the world compete. They compete with one goal in mind, to be first. 

   Like here in our school an annual event has also occurred, and it's called the Intramurals or Intrams.Wherein all students from each year level perform the sport that they've chosen. Like what I've chosen, Shot put, it was the only sport left on the girls list and I had no choice. I was somewhat curious of the sport yet bummed out since it's a sport where in your arm strength is tested. Yet, the ball used in this sport is heavy and I'm a bit weak in that part, but oh well. After a few days it'll begin, the Intrams. 

   How was the intrams for me? How did I felt while being at my chosen sport? And most of all, what really happened that day? Questions that would probably ponder our minds and what did I really do that day? I mean, to be honest I'm not a big fan of sport but I wouldn't say that I hate it or anything I'm just not that interested.

   It was a two day event and as usual I got bored. I think I enjoyed cleaning the room, rather than playing. Besides the noise from the screeching crowd ( which I really dislike since my ear becomes sensitive), I kept on having the feeling of isolation. It was really a good time to lay back and sleep in the room to be honest but I can't since we have to support our year level.

  When the second day arrived it was time for the other events; including the throwing events which includes shot put. At first I didn't feel any tense but as soon as they called my name my body began to somewhat shiver. As I threw that small yet heavy ball my shoulder shivered too and after those three trials the result fourth place. "Oh well" are the words I sighed to myself. I wasn't really that prepared or anything at least now I know how it feels to throw something that heavy and besides, my other competitors are a lot healthier than me. So it's like they say 'All's well that ends well'.

   I wasn't really expecting to be first, hence, the experience. I didn't exactly enjoy everything but at least I learned something new from what I've done and I'm satisfied with that. Others may say that they had fun or the opposite of that but for me all I care is that we did have fun in our own little ways. That two days was enough to keep us energized while having fun.
