Imagination - Our Limitation

Dear Nikk,

     Days have passed and it becomes more vague whenever I don't think of you. It's as if - my life was incomplete; like what others say. The rain might pass but it won't erase my memories of you. The sun may shine but I'm sure your smiles shine brighter. I love you for who you are and there's nothing more to it. Whatever promises you make I'll believe because for us nothing's impossible. If you wanted to give me the stars, you'll light up some paper lamps for me. If you wanted to give me nature you'll make a garden for me. There's always possibilities to all of your promises and wishes for me. Though my only wish right now is that you promise me that'll you'll never ever leave my side and I'll never leave yours. Everyday and every night we'll both be looking at the great big sky and I pray that someday I'll be waking up with you in your arms and grow old with you. We might have misunderstandings but you'll always be there by my side. 

But what I would really want is for you to come real. Flesh. Not just a figment of my imagination. To be able to feel such warmness in those wide arms of yours and to be able to hear your voice, that would surely complete the day. Your glimmering eyes that makes me stare and your glistening smile that lights up my world. 

Because all I ever wanted was a lad like you. Someone who'd stand out not because of he's flawless looks nor his outstanding skills but because he has a pure heart that'll be able to melt mine. A heart so pure, so kind and so fragile yet sympathetic. A lad who knows how to treat a lass fairly and pleasantly.

There's nothing more to say nor to tell. We are quite aware of who we are and what we're capable of. We trust and love each other and that's all there's to it.

Lovingly yours,

Kim <3

Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare has indeed created such tremendous works such as Hamlet, The Tempest, Macbeth and many more. From those works of him "Romeo and Juliet" was the first story I've known and read. Fascinatingly I finished the whole book without hesitation and how amazed was I when I reached the ending; regardless of the fact that I somewhat know the plot of the story, reading it from the start till the end was somewhat breath taking. Well it is a very tragic story indeed, but that's what makes the story more interesting. It makes me want to dig deeper and try to fully understand the true meaning behind Shakespeare's unique masterpieces.

Full of woe's. That's how I would simply explain the dreadful story of "Romeo and Juliet", which is what makes it turn out to a beautiful work of art. As I read through the story I already knew that the ending would be a tragic one, because I've already heard of it before somewhere.But if I haven't known of it I'd be curious. Of course I would expect the ending would be like the one in fairy tales "Happily ever after", like any ordinary person would.

If I were to somehow divert the ending I would probably do the same, a miserable ending, but at least there you'll find the lesson in life and you'll be able to understand that sometimes you have to learn your lesson the hard way.

If I would change the parts in "Act five, Scene three", I would let Romeo reach the tomb late. Only a few minutes left, Juliet would awaken. So as Romeo reaches the grave he would still meet Paris and have the deadly fight; which Romeo won. Romeo would then hear Juliet's voice. He then opens the tomb and hugs her tightly, but then Page see's Paris' dead body on the ground and quickly calls fort Capulet and his men. With all the commotion, it made the Montague's come fort too. When both families reach the place a loud uproar was made. The nurse tried to pull Juliet away from Romeo, same with Montague pulling his son away. The two resisted and were able break free from the constrict. Romeo and Juliet then decided to drink the poison after trying to explain things to their families; which no one tried to listen to. Romeo placed the poison in his mouth and kissed Juliet causing the two to fall on the ground. Friar Lawrence then came and saw that he was too late, he explains the story behind of how the two young lovers became true to one another,excluding the fact that their names are enemies. And same with the original ending the two families then realize what they have done and finally, after so many years, became friends.

Still a tragic ending. That's how I would define my style of the ending. The story "Romeo and Juliet" gives a very interesting lesson. Not that you have to get married at the age of 14. It's that we shouldn't be too high on ourselves. Lessen that pride that makes you want to climb on top and look down on others as you step on them. It's the love and passion you must give to your beloved one's not cruelty and ignorance to others. And it's the joy of being with those persons that you love so dear. I really salute to William Shakespeare, for he has created stories that no ordinary person would. Let his works be a lesson to all of us.

The Best Guy for Me

Mum and Dad in Tagaytay

       

             Father's Day, what's it all about? Is it just another passing event that everyone in the family shares? Or is it more than that? Have questions like that in your mind? Well neither have I.Actually I've recently thought of them just now. So what is Father's Day?

   June, it's the month of a well known occasion; Independence Day, but another important event is the Father's Day. It's on the second Sunday of June, and this is where our beloved dad's take the time to relax and be a King. This is also where the mum and kids prepare a special surprise for their much - loved father. Even in malls, you'll see banners, tarpaulins and all sorts of things screaming "Happy Father's Day".


     Yesterday was Sunday, a warm introduction about Father's Day was preached by my dad in the church. As time passed by, things flew through my mind. Things like - what will we be doing after this?. Some years before, I thought of making letters to my dad whenever this event arrives, but somethings change and I never got to do it. So what I did this morning, as soon as I woke up and fixed myself I greeted my dad like I really meant it and gave him a morning kiss on the cheek. Sometimes we shouldn't really rely on material things; like with gifts, because some people prefer your presence rather than your present.


     Whenever a person gives a gift to someone they usually wait for something like thank you or he/she will give something in return. This Father's Day, do we really want to wait for our father's to pay us back, like a gift on your birthday? But actually, for me, hearing that heart warming thank you is really enough for me. Expecting something in return is not me, actually a simple "Thank you", "Good job" and other compliments is all I need, because I know that I did good.


     Another special thing is making my dad happy. It may seem hard but I tried my best; not just in Father's Day but like, everyday. Who wouldn't want to make their father happy, especially on Father's Day? So I just kept on trying to get my dad's good side and hopefully I did. So I'm just happy that Sunday turned out fine. Hoping that the following days would turn out great, whether its Father's Day, Mother's Day or even if it's Christmas, I think we should all keep in mind that showing our great love and affection to our family should be a habit to all of us.
