A Perfect Scene

            I always experience new things every semestral break. Every semestral break is unforgettable for me. This 2013 our day in a beach somewhere in Ternate made this semestral break one of the best semestral break in my life. 

            That day I really don’t know what new thing to do, so we planned to go in a beach somewhere in Ternate. The mountains hide the beach. The time going to that beach was longer than the time we stayed in that beach. In our way to that beach we saw some mountaineers. Those mountaineers were teenagers. The trees were tall, very tall. The mountains we saw were not like other mountains, those mountains were full of tall trees, many trees. When we reached the beached we parked the car beside a nipa hut under a coconut tree. The sky that time was not that bright. The clouds hid the bright sun. It was a cloudy day. Before going to that beach I really decided not to stay under the sun in a long period of time because my skin gets darker for a short period of time. All the time I was holding my camera. I took pictures of dogs, fishermen, fishes, my cousins and the people in that place. The sand there was like white sand and the people were really kind. We stayed inside the nipa hut of a resident. That day I just took pictures, eat, took pictures again, eat, and eat, took pictures, eat and went home. I know that it sounds really boring but believe me I really enjoyed that day. The most enjoying part that day was when we saw three boats of fishermen near us. Then I saw many fishes in their boats, I really saw the way on how to put a boat away from the sea. It was really difficult. I can’t explain the view of the perfect sky, the mountains, the twin islands, and the peaceful sea. It was perfect. These views of our nature made this semestral break worthy.  

Fairy Tales Do Happen in Real Life

            Are happy endings exist in real life? Fairy tales make people to believe in love. Everyone of us surely, will fall in love, maybe not now but someday you will. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Love is everywhere. You LOVE your family, your friends, and all the things around you. It depends on you on how you'll take love in you life, you can take it as a positive thing or a negative one. Most of us see love as a positive thing but they say that too much can be bad. 

             In my experience, I don't know if that's love or crush, but I think that's love. I had a crush before, our initials were both L.A and our brothers' names were also both Lance. That time I thought that we're meant for each other. We're very close friends that time and the only thing she knows was I had a crush on her. She inspired me that time. But she went in Bacoor with her father and I knew that she will study there in Bacoor. I decided to forget all about her that time. I saw her again in a volleyball tournament. That time I already move one with her. She's my first love. But sometimes I am still thinking about her. Now, I believe in the saying "First love never dies.". 

            Love according to a dictionary is a great interests or pleasure on something/someone and for me no one can explain love. People who don't experience love can explain the meaning of it based on a dictionary but when the time you experience this feeling you will realize that it is very difficult to explain love. 

            As a normal person without much experience about love all I can say is, when you loved someone and that love didn't went good don't forget to get up, move on, and try to love again until you find the right person because when you already found him/her all those pain will be replaced by happiness and contentment and you'll say to yourself "Fairy tales do happen in real life.".

My Teacher is a Part of my Life

       Teachers teach students the lessons they need to know, lessons in their subject and LESSONS OF LIFE. Do you believe that teachers are our second mother?

            Teachers feel tired and depressed. They are also like students. The only difference is their experiences and their professionalism. Teachers are the one responsible for their students. We stay at our school longer than the times that we are at home. Maybe, that’s the reason why they are called our second mother. I know that our teachers will scold us for some reasons but they are doing this for our own good, like what mothers do.

            I have a classmate that treats our teacher like her own mother. It all started when my classmate posted a message for her mother died a long time ago. Our teacher commented on that photo saying if she could be the mother of my classmate. That is the start of their unforgettable memories. They go home every day with each other. My classmate sleeps on the shoulders of our teacher.

            That proves that our teacher can really be our mother. Being a family doesn’t mean having the same structure of DNA and any other internal structure of our body. It means that you love each other and each of you is willing to help the other member if he has a problem. Your section in your school is a family and also the whole school is a family.

            We should take care our teacher and value all the things they did to us. Always remember, if there’s no teacher, there are no engineers, nurses, doctors and other professional jobs.

            Treat your teacher like your real mother, LOVE YOUR TEACHER.

Inevitable Fate A Tragic Romance

          There was once a ship that sailed gently through the seas. Boarded were hundreds of people and among them were the two infants, Benedick and Beatrice. They were together for some unknown reason but danger struck. A hard-blowing, strong-raining storm greeted them and cut the ship in half. Unfortunately, the two babies were separated but thankfully, two ships came to their help. Benedick was rescued by Montaboat, owned by the Montagues, and Beatrice was rescued by Capuship which was owned by the Capulets.

            The Montagues and Capulets have been rivals for years and it seemed that their rivalry wouldn’t end without blood. Years passed, both families had loved their own adopted child like they were their own. Beatrice was given great care and grew as a gorgeous maiden, while Benedick grew as a brave and handsome young man. Never did they saw each other, but after 20 years, their lives met a life-changing turning point.

            Three witches came to visit Montague to tell him about their prophecy. With their ugly faces and crooked teeth, together with their long, sharp and dirty fingernails, Lady Montague wished to send them away but Montague disagreed after finding out that their prophecy was of great news for his own power. The three witches called forth 3 spirits. The first spirit showed a knight wearing a crown, signifying that Montague would be the new king of Verona. Eager to make this true, Montague plotted a plan to kill King Escalus. He succeeded and like what the prophecy said, he became the King.

            However, his felicity was short-lived due to the prophecy of the three witches given by the remaining spirits. The second was an infant in a pool of blood, showing that he would be killed by a man not born of woman. The third was an armored head with blood dripping out of its opening. He didn't seem to mind the prophecies at first and went on with his plan to kill his rival, the Capulets. Battles were fought but at the end, Capulet confesses that he was untimely ripped and he beheaded Montague with a triumph smile on his face.

            Benedick was distraught and wanted revenge for his father. He promised never to marry and to spend all his remaining years avenging his father holy. But fate never seems to run out of surprises. Benedick and Beatrice's lives would meet a bittersweet turn.

            As the days near the 21^st birthday of Beatrice everyone helped in the preparation for this grandest occasion. They spent days on preparation. While passing the market, Benedick overheard gossips about the beauty of Beatrice and became eager to see her himself but probably just for his revenge. The big day came, and Benedick wore a disguise and went to the party. There he saw Beatrice staring at him with an awe expression on her face. Their eyes met and it seemed like the world just faded away and left nothing but the two of them alone. They fell in love at the first sight and Benedick's crave for revenge for his father and his belief that he'll never marry vanished into thin air. He forgot about the anger he felt for the Capulets.

            Days passed and the King Capulet wanted Beatrice to marry a nobleman named Paris. Beatrice refused to and told her father that she's in love with Benedick. The King Capulet turned red with fury. He told Beatrice that if she would disobey his command, he'll have her either executed or sent to the monastery to be a nun. Beatrice went to Friar Lawrence for help and was given the potion that would stop her pulse for 48 hours. She told Benedick of the escape plan. When the night came and Beatrice's body was transferred in the family tomb, she finally woke up and ran into the forest with Benedick. However, Paris saw what happened and followed them into the forest.

            Paris allies with Puck, a mischievous fairy, and ordered him to pour a love spell on the lips of the sleeping Beatrice while Benedick was out hunting. Puck followed Paris, and when Beatrice woke up, she immediately fell in love with Paris and they kissed thoroughly. Benedick saw what happened and got so enraged but chose to hide it first. When the spell faded, Beatrice couldn't remember what happened. They decided to go and get married on a small village. During the marriage, Benedick proclaimed and told everyone that Beatrice was a whore. He was so furious with Beatrice and his initial desire for revenge returned.

            He left Beatrice on the village and ventured back to Verona to kill King Capulet. After arriving, he immediately sought the senators and other officials and convinced them to conspire against the King.

            Before the planned assassination, while Benedick in his room, a spirit named Ariel came to visit him and deliver news that would surely twist and crush his soul. Ariel told him that he(Ariel) is the spirit guardian of his parents and that when they died, he had watched over Benedick all through the years. Ariel also told Benedick about Beatrice's innocence and that it was all Paris and Puck's fault. Benedick immediately felt guilty, sorry, and horrible all at the same time. He had left Beatrice alone; he had accused her of being a whore yet the truth she was innocent and faithful all those time. He realized that he never stopped loving Beatrice and that he was just consumed by his rage. He changed his mind about assassinating King Capulet. He was about to go and stop the other senators when he freezes on his feet and felt the world crashing down on him as Ariel told him the truth that had been buried together with the shipwreck 21 years ago.

            After being left by Benedick, Beatrice went to Verona in hopes of explaining and proving her innocence to her beloved. But as she stepped foot on the castle, she felt something very wrong. So she ran. She ran so fast and at last, she saw the dead body of her father. She cried and wailed. But then something struck her and she suddenly feared of what might have happened to Benedick. She stood up, and moved her numb legs, not even quite noticing of fast she was running. She saw the door on the ballroom where she first saw Benedick slightly open. Her heart was drumming inside her chest. She picked up her speed and alas, she reached the door and opened it.

            She stood there and saw the greatest horror she could ever imagine. In the center of the room was Benedick lying limpwith blood pooling over his body. She didn't skip a beat; she quickly darted toward him and fell on her knees. She cradled his head on her lap and asked him to wake up. Slowly and weakly, Benedick opened his eyes and tears started to fall from them.

“It's my fault. I didn't save him.” he said weakly, barely a whisper.

“No, it's not. I love you.”

“I love you too. Much more than life. But our love more powerful than the stars is also more impossible to touch, for it is forbidden. It is forbidden, my dear twin sister...”

           He took his one last breath and died in her arms.

           Beatrice, painfully shocked of her love’s dying message, took the dagger out of Benedick’s body and said “Oh, sweet dagger, take away all of the sorrow. Let my body be your sheath…” Without second thinking, she stabbed herself and her body lay above the body of Benedick.

         The citizens of the kingdom went inside and saw the dead bodies of Beatrice, Benedick, and King Capulet. They found a note that was seemingly glowing saying the events that perspired for the last days. Paris, who also entered the castle, saw light figure over the bodies. Paris doesn’t know why but he feels that the light figure is crying.

          The figure then walks of out of the door, its true appearance revealed. “It’s finally over; I guess it’s time, after 21 years, our family can be reunited again, in the sky. Benedick, I hope you don’t get mad at me for not telling you the truth sooner, I had my reasons but at least now, we can enjoy the happiness of forever.”

You’re Judgment

“Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair.”

Do you really understand the meaning of this quote? This simply means “Good is Bad and Bad is Good.”

Judging someone is a part of our life. SOME people judge others by their appearance and SOME people really appreciate a person’s attitude.

      Me, I would not deny that I always judge someone by his appearance. But an unforgettable experience of my aunt made me to realize that I was wrong. One week before Halloween, my aunt went to her friend’s house alone for their project. Since there’s no space to park her motor, she went in a basketball court two blocks away from her friend’s house.

They did their project for almost 6 hours. After doing it, my aunt decided to go home because it’s already late. When she got in the court, she noticed that a wheel of her motor is flat. She doesn’t know what to do that time. Before she left the court to ask her friend to help her, she saw a group of boys. Those boys look like gangsters because of their clothes. She was really scared that time. When the boys reached her place, she really doesn’t know what to do. When one boy asked her, “What’s the problem?” her hands started to shake. Then she said, “A wheel of my motor is flat.” The other boy said, “You need help?” She said “yes, please help me.” After that the boys pushed her motor to the nearest mechanical shop. With the help of the boys she got home safe.

      After telling that story to me, I realized that judging someone by his appearance is not needed to know the real attitude of that person. Like in the experience of my aunt, she thought the guys are bad because of their clothes but those guys helped her to go home safe.  Her experience simply explains that if a person is really good-looking and his clothes are beautiful it doesn’t mean that the person’s attitude is beautiful too or if a person is ugly and his clothes is not beautiful it doesn’t mean that the person’s attitude is also bad. A person’s attitude is not base on his clothes things and physical appearance. 

      After hearing her experience, I can say that judging someone is really a part of our life. This time not SOME people, MANY people judge a person by his physical appearance and only a FEW person appreciate another person’s attitude.

      Always remember, “Don’t judge the book by its cover.”

A Big Mistake

            Mid Summer Night’s Dream is a Shakespearean play. The climax of this play is the time when Puck did a lot of mistakes about the love potion.

              Oberon commanded Puck his servant to put a love potion in the eyes of Titania. After putting it in the eyes of Titania, then, he accidentally put another love potion in the eyes of Lysander instead of Demetrius. If this potion dropped in your eyes, you will fall in love to the first person you see.

          After a while, Puck saw Demetrius and realizes that he gave the potion to the wrong person. So, he also poured the love potion in the eyes of Demetrius. When Lysander and Demetrius woke up, they saw Helena. The two fell in love to Helena. Hermia was left alone. She became angry. Fights started to appear after that incident.

Will you FORGIVE or FORGET?

            This world is full of hardships and problems. You cannot survive this world if you are weak, BE STRONG! There are people that will underestimate you, people that will hurt you and people that will be the cause of your fall. These people are not meant to be your friends, especially TO BE YOUR PROBLEMS.

            Let me tell you a story. A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.When the concern father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

            What do you think were the four words?The husband just said “I LOVE YOU DARLING”.

            That time the husband's reaction is not the expected one. The boy is dead. He can't bring back the boy to life again. But still, he did not blame the wife for the incident. It is maybe because he thought that no one wants that to happen. What both of them need that time was peace, forgiveness from each other and love. The husband gave those things to his wife.

            Do you think both of them will forget that incident, their child died? No right, although they forgive each other, they can't forget that incident. 

            Many times of our lives we ask who to blame for something, whether in a realtionship, school work and in our own house. For that forgiving is not only for other people, forgiving is also for yourself to move on but not forget. Do not multiply pain, suffering and anger in you, learn how to forgive but do not forget. Do not forget because these things will be your strength in facing problems in life, these memories will make you braver and stronger, so DO NOT FORGET.

            If everyone will learn how to forgive other people and ourselves life would be happier. Let's revise the quote "The best way to forgive is to forget", let's make it "Learn to forgive others and yourself, instead of having anger in you make this as your strength in life."

Our Own Identity

            I have my own identity, YOU have yours, WE all have our own identity. Our identity might be our physical features, our attitudes and other things about us. These things made us unique. There are persons who are athletic and there academically inclined. What are the differences and similarities between the two? Is this a problem?

            Everybody is unique. I might be an athletic one, you might be an academically inclined one. It is not a problem. There are disadvantages and advantages for being athletic and the same as being academically inclined person. When you're a athletic person you're body is absolutely sexy and when you're an academically inclined one you have a risk to be very fat because you're just reading and reading you don't have time to exercise. This is just one difference of the two. If you're an athletic person it doesn't mean that you're not focusing on you're studies it just means that you're more focused on your games. But if you're an academically inclined one there's a possibility that you don't know how to play heavy sports like volleyball and basketball. An athletic person is a happy and a crazy person in a good way while an academically inclined one maybe very serious and not that very good in social gatherings. These two kind of persons have its similarities too. If you're either an athletic or academically inclined one you still need to have great focus, focus in studies or games. You should be thankful even if you're either an athletic or academically inclined person because this means that you're good in something.

            I can say that I am an athletic person I am good in academics but not that good. I think I am better when it comes to sports and games. If God will give me another chance to be a child again I will choose to be an academically inclined person because we can learn how to play a game but the intelligence of an academic person is not easy to achieve. But I am still thankful to God because of all the things he gave me. Thank you God.

            How about you, do you want to change yourself right now? 

The Prayer

Lord God, you've made all the things in the Earth. Then,

You've given us courage and to face the problems, strength.

You are our only God, the mighty God we praise.

You've made this world for me and for the entire human race.

Today that we are abusing the Mother Earth,

And some people are dying because of thier health,

While some people are enjoying using Earth's wealth,

Nature made its revenge and bring us climate change.

We're crazy for money, success and everything nice. 

Nature showed its anger to us who think we're wise.

Now the country is experiencing calamities,

Help us, especially those with disabilities.

Help the people who are experiencing hunger.

Also help the people whose hearts are with anger.

You're our only savior. Help us to carry on.

In these times of our lives you're the only one to lean on.

Lord God, help us survive life. We want to live.

We want to live peacefully, praising you, our God.

Help the victims especially the poor victims.

Lord God, please HELP us, SAVE us and FORGIVE us. AMEN.

October 1996,
To Marjorie

I am not surprise or wonder why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think about but you’re very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me to his toy but sooner and later I’m realize that he really can’t not beared or stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not stand you’re habit of making pakialam all his walks (lakad) and always calling to their house what he got home or this or that.
And then he say he get ashame to me either in school or in his family and then asking you to exercise you’re very very, very fat body. But you hate it. Thought you’re the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are “ Beautiful Girl” of Jose Mari Chan?
Even you are beautiful face ( to your think) you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else difference name one time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because I’m never call you names either in the front of Dennis or in the backs of Dennis, but if you start already to calling me different name, I don’t have any other choice but to call you other different name to. Like you are a PIG, FAT, OBESSED, OVERWIGHT, AND UGLY SHAPE girl. Shame to you’re body that is to a BUDING.
You can’t not blame Dennis for exchanging you to me because I am the more sexier that you when you look to us in the mirror. I’m repeat again that you are like Lozada when she is a girl.
Love,
The sexiest Girl of D.M.
P.S.
You say that I’m the bad breathe but who is Dennis want to kissed. Me or you? And the final is me. There you go

REACTION:

               At first, I was not expecting for a very horrible grammar. I expected to check simple things with its grammar, punctuations and other things. But when I am reading it, I really had a severe headache. I really got a difficult time to understand some informations. When I was already done reading it, I thought that I would have a very long time editing this.

October 1996

To Marjorie,

I am not surprise or wonder why Dennis leave you. Why? What reason can you think about, other than you’re very fat body. Before, I thought that Dennis only used me as his toy but sooner and later I realized that he's really sick and tired to be with you because Dennis said that he could not stand you’re habit of making decisions in all the things he do and when he will hang with friends and you're always calling if he's already at home or this or that.

Then, he said that he's very shy at me or at his family whenever you're with him and he's always asking you to exercise your very very fat body, but you hate every time he say it. So, you're thinking that you are the prettiest girl for him? What do you think, you're the "Beautiful Girl" of Jose Mari Chan? 

Even you have a beautiful face (that's what you think) you don't have the right to call me using other names just to insult my personality because I never call you different names just to insult you either in front of Dennis or when his not looking. But you're the one who started it, so I don't have a choice, I will also call you names that will insult you. I will use names like PIG, FAT, OBESE, OVERWEIGHT, AND UGLY SHAPED GIRL. Be ashamed  about your body that is so disgusting.

You cannot blame Dennis for picking me rather than you because I am sexier than you even if when you compared us using a mirror. I repeat, you look like Lozada when she's a girl. 

Love,

The Sexiest Girl of D.M

P.S.

You said that I have bad breathe, but who is the one Dennis wants to kiss? Me or You? Its me, there you go. 

YOUR CHOICE: BLOGGING OR INFORMAL THEME NOTEBOOKS

            Technology seems to be very useful to us. Blogging is a is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web. Do you still remember your compositions in your Informal Theme Notebook during your elementary days? How do you find composing articles in your informal theme?

            My elementary days are still fresh in my mind, especially the days when we're writing compositions for our informal theme. This helps students to improve their writing skills. This requires number of words and many other things. But our informal theme changed when I became a third year student. Our compositions should be in our blogs. When I heard that, I really felt that this was going to be very difficult because I am not fond of blogging. When we got our first blog, I don't know what to do, but I was able to make a blog account with the help of my friends. A time came when our teacher in English III told us that if we agree about our informal theme, instead of having a notebook as I've said we should be doing it in blog. I didn't have "NO" as an answer for that question for that time. I was really enjoying blogging. Blogging and writing compositions in notebook are just the same. The only difference is that in blogging we are doing blogs using internet and in using informal theme notebook we are writing the compositions in our notebooks. I can say that blogging is better because many people can see your blog, and also through this you can be a very famous blogger/person, while having informal theme notebook only your teacher can read it. So, I still prefer blogging than having notebooks for informal themes.

            How about you, what do you prefer?  

New Era of My Life In Cavite National Science High School

                    Are you willing to change the things you used to do for the better you? That's my question before I entered and took examination in Cavite National Science High School. This was the beginning of my new life.

                    Before I took the examination in Cavite National Science High School I really studied a lot. This was the beginning of the changes in my life when I started studying. I was not usually studying because I know that I will not be kicked-out from the highest section when I was in elementary. But before I did the decision of studying in a very exclusive school, I realized that I need to study to achieve my goals and make my family happy. I really don't want to study in this school but my parents want me to, so I just followed their decision. I was not expecting for me to pass the examination and I was surprised when we knew that I passed the examination. Just imagine, I took three examinations and i was able to pass it all. After knowing this, I got the 18th place in the 200 students during our graduation and the expectations became higher add the thing that I passed the examinations and I will study in Cavite National Science High School. By the way, that's the most exclusive schoolin Region IV-A CLABARZON. This was the start of SUPER ULTRA MEGA EXPECTATIONS from my family. These expectations made me feel the pressure.

                     Start of the first class, I set my mind that I need to study and be industrious not like before. I also need to meet the expectations of my family. That time, I experienced the feeling of sleeping very late at night and doing a lot of assignments in one night. It was very tiring but I know that all the fatigue I was feeling that time was the sign of changes and perseverance in me. I received the priceless gift when I became the third honor in my class during the first grading. I studied harder and worked very hard until I became the first honor in my class. But it seems that being the first honor was not meant for me because I got the second honor in the final rating. 

                    But this was the happiest year of my student life because this year I experienced to be the first honor. After this, the expectations became higher again because for the second year I was able to enter the room of II- Nitrogen, the highest section.This was the section where the TOP 32 of the year were included this section. I was very happy to be in the top 32 of the year. This year, the studies became more difficult for me. This second year made me a competitive student, maybe that was because my classmates were competitive too. The changes in me is unexplainable, those changes were automatically happening. Those changes in myself are still happening until now that I am already in the third year.

                    Sometimes I realized that although I don't want to study here at first, I was able to because the Lord planned and destined me to study here. I was able to survive here for three years because of the quote "In this world, it is better to have a rival that you want to destroy than to have a precious friend." I know that if we believe in the faith of God we should not be afraid to have changes in ourselves and to change the things we used to do for our better future.

Second Thought

                    Life is full of challenges and problems that we need to face. "To be or not to be" this is the perfect quote for those persons that are not sure what will they for the rest of their life or will they continue the things they used to do. Second thoughts are usually common to students, this is because their minds are not yet set for serious things. I can say that I am not a perfect student. Sometimes I don't want to go to school, but I 

need to, sometimes I don't want to study, but i need to. These are the times when this quote suits my life as a student. But I am always thinking if I am still happy studying in our school. Our school is a very exclusive school within our region. It is very strict about policies and about the students. Everyday I can see my friends in other schools. They look like students without thinking anything about their assignments and studies. When I asked them they say, "We don't have assignments." When they say that line I am always thinking if I am still happy studying in a school with a lot of assignments and a very strict school, but I need to study their because, this is for my own good. I am very tired for the 3 years in our school. But a day can remove all of that. Everyday in this school makes me happy and makes me a real person. Add my friends and my family that always give me strength and happiness to finish studying in our school.

                    While I am writing this blog, I realized that there's no reason for me to think about studying in an exclusive school for scholars, I am destined to study in this school, we're all destined. I can do this, I can.

A Better Future for the World

                     Technology and machines make our works and jobs easier. But are these gadgets really improved the world?
                     As my opinion, technology really helped our world to be better. Cellphones are the best example of gadget that help us in our everyday life, even if we are just a simple person or a rich one. Cellphones have almost all the applications and features that can be installed in a personal computer. Aside from that, we cannot bring our personal computers in every place we want to go but we can bring our cellphones in any place any time anywhere. As a student, I can use my cellphone in answering assignments like in searching the meaning of a word and in looking for formulas. I can also use this in my projects because we can install the Microsoft Word in our cellphones, but not all cellphones have that features. The most important use of cellphones for me is, we can use this to have a faster communication with other people. Communicating can help us a lot in almost everything. These are the reasons why I chose cellphones as the best gadget to show the contribution of technology in our lives.
                    I decided to make a collage forming the figure of a robot's hand holding a butterfly because this means that technology is already a big part of our lives and that technology helps us to survive onger in the world and to do things easier.

Romeo and Juliet: A Perfect Ending

ACT V : SCENE III
 A churchyard; in it a tomb belonging to the
Capulets.
Enter PARIS, and his Page bearing flowers and a torch
PARIS
Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof:
Yet put it out, for I would not be seen.
Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along,
Holding thine ear close to the hollow ground;
So shall no foot upon the churchyard tread,
Being loose, unfirm, with digging up of graves,
But thou shalt hear it: whistle then to me,
As signal that thou hear'st something approach.
Give me those flowers. Do as I bid thee, go.
PAGE
[Aside] I am almost afraid to stand alone
Here in the churchyard; yet I will adventure.
Retires
PARIS
Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew,—
O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;—
Which with sweet water nightly I will dew,
Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans:
The obsequies that I for thee will keep
Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep.
The Page whistles
The boy gives warning something doth approach.
What cursed foot wanders this way to-night,
To cross my obsequies and true love's rite?
What with a torch! muffle me, night, awhile.
Retires
Enter ROMEO and BALTHASAR, with a torch, mattock, & c
ROMEO

Give me that mattock and the wrenching iron.
Hold, take this letter; early in the morning
See thou deliver it to my lord and father.
Give me the light: upon thy life, I charge thee,
Whate'er thou hear'st or seest, stand all aloof,
And do not interrupt me in my course.
Why I descend into this bed of death,
Is partly to behold my lady's face;
But chiefly to take thence from her dead finger
A precious ring, a ring that I must use
In dear employment: therefore hence, be gone:
But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry
In what I further shall intend to do,
By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint
And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs:
The time and my intents are savage-wild,
More fierce and more inexorable far
Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.
BALTHASAR
I will be gone, sir, and not trouble you.
ROMEO
So shalt thou show me friendship. Take thou that:
Live, and be prosperous: and farewell, good fellow.
BALTHASAR
[Aside] For all this same, I'll hide me hereabout:
His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt.
Retires
ROMEO
Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death,
Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth,
Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open,
And, in despite, I'll cram thee with more food!
Opens the tomb

PARIS
This is that banish'd haughty Montague,
That murder'd my love's cousin, with which grief,
It is supposed, the fair creature died;
And here is come to do some villanous shame
To the dead bodies: I will apprehend him.
Comes forward
Stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile Montague!
Can vengeance be pursued further than death?
Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee:
Obey, and go with me; for thou must die.
ROMEO
I must indeed; and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself:
Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bade thee run away.
PARIS
I do defy thy conjurations,
And apprehend thee for a felon here.
ROMEO
Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy!
They fight
PAGE
O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.
Exit

PARIS
O, I am slain!
Falls
If thou be merciful,
Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet.
Dies
ROMEO
In faith, I will. Let me peruse this face.
Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris!
What said my man, when my betossed soul
Did not attend him as we rode? I think
He told me Paris should have married Juliet:
Said he not so? or did I dream it so?
Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet,
To think it was so? O, give me thy hand,
One writ with me in sour misfortune's book!
I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave;
A grave? O no! a lantern, slaughter'd youth,
For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence full of light.
Death, lie thou there, by a dead man interr'd.
Laying PARIS in the tomb
How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there.
Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet?
O, what more favour can I do to thee,
Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twain
To sunder his that was thine enemy?
Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet,
Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe
That unsubstantial death is amorous,

And that the lean abhorred monster keeps
Thee here in dark to be his paramour?
For fear of that, I still will stay with thee;
And never from this palace of dim night
Depart again: here, here will I remain
With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Here's to my love!
Drinks
O true apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.
Dies
Enter, at the other end of the churchyard, FRIAR LAURENCE, with a
lantern, crow, and spade
FRIAR LAURENCE
Saint Francis be my speed! how oft to-night
Have my old feet stumbled at graves! Who's there?
BALTHASAR
Here's one, a friend, and one that knows you well.
FRIAR LAURENCE
Bliss be upon you! Tell me, good my friend,
What torch is yond, that vainly lends his light
To grubs and eyeless skulls? as I discern,
It burneth in the Capel's monument.
BALTHASAR

It doth so, holy sir; and there's my master,
One that you love.
FRIAR LAURENCE
Who is it?
BALTHASAR
Romeo.
FRIAR LAURENCE
How long hath he been there?
BALTHASAR
Full half an hour.
FRIAR LAURENCE
Go with me to the vault.
BALTHASAR
I dare not, sir
My master knows not but I am gone hence;
And fearfully did menace me with death,
If I did stay to look on his intents.
FRIAR LAURENCE
Stay, then; I'll go alone. Fear comes upon me:
O, much I fear some ill unlucky thing.
BALTHASAR
As I did sleep under this yew-tree here,
I dreamt my master and another fought,
And that my master slew him.

FRIAR LAURENCE
Romeo!
Advances
Alack, alack, what blood is this, which stains
The stony entrance of this sepulchre?
What mean these masterless and gory swords
To lie discolour'd by this place of peace?
Enters the tomb
Romeo! O, pale! Who else? what, Paris too?
And steep'd in blood? Ah, what an unkind hour
Is guilty of this lamentable chance!
The lady stirs.
JULIET wakes
JULIET
O comfortable friar! where is my lord?
I do remember well where I should be,
And there I am. Where is my Romeo?
Noise within
FRIAR LAURENCE
I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest
Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:
A greater power than we can contradict
Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.
Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;
And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee
Among a sisterhood of holy nuns:
Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;
Come, go, good Juliet,
Noise again
I dare no longer stay.
JULIET
Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.
Exit FRIAR LAURENCE

What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make die with a restorative.
Kisses him
Thy lips are warm.
First Watchman
[Within] Lead, boy: which way?
JULIET
Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
Snatching ROMEO's dagger
This is thy sheath;
Stabs herself
there rust, and let me die.
Falls on ROMEO's body, and dies
Enter Watch, with the Page of PARIS
PAGE
This is the place; there, where the torch doth burn.
First Watchman
The ground is bloody; search about the churchyard:
Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach.
Pitiful sight! here lies the county slain,
And Juliet bleeding, warm, and newly dead,
Who here hath lain these two days buried.
Go, tell the prince: run to the Capulets:
Raise up the Montagues: some others search:
We see the ground whereon these woes do lie;
But the true ground of all these piteous woes
We cannot without circumstance descry.
Re-enter some of the Watch, with BALTHASAR

Second Watchman
Here's Romeo's man; we found him in the churchyard.
First Watchman
Hold him in safety, till the prince come hither.
Re-enter others of the Watch, with FRIAR LAURENCE
Third Watchman
Here is a friar, that trembles, sighs and weeps:
We took this mattock and this spade from him,
As he was coming from this churchyard side.
First Watchman
A great suspicion: stay the friar too.
Enter the PRINCE and Attendants
PRINCE
What misadventure is so early up,
That calls our person from our morning's rest?
Enter CAPULET, LADY CAPULET, and others
CAPULET
What should it be, that they so shriek abroad?
LADY CAPULET
The people in the street cry Romeo,
Some Juliet, and some Paris; and all run,
With open outcry toward our monument.
PRINCE
What fear is this which startles in our ears?
First Watchman

Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain;
And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before,
Warm and new kill'd.
PRINCE
Search, seek, and know how this foul murder comes.
First Watchman
Here is a friar, and slaughter'd Romeo's man;
With instruments upon them, fit to open
These dead men's tombs.
CAPULET
O heavens! O wife, look how our daughter bleeds!
This dagger hath mista'en—for, lo, his house
Is empty on the back of Montague,—
And it mis-sheathed in my daughter's bosom!
LADY CAPULET
O me! this sight of death is as a bell,
That warns my old age to a sepulchre.
Enter MONTAGUE and others
PRINCE
Come, Montague; for thou art early up,
To see thy son and heir more early down.
MONTAGUE
Alas, my liege, my wife is dead to-night;
Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath:
What further woe conspires against mine age?
PRINCE
Look, and thou shalt see.

MONTAGUE
O thou untaught! what manners is in this?
To press before thy father to a grave?
PRINCE
Seal up the mouth of outrage for a while,
Till we can clear these ambiguities,
And know their spring, their head, their
true descent;
And then will I be general of your woes,
And lead you even to death: meantime forbear,
And let mischance be slave to patience.
Bring forth the parties of suspicion.
FRIAR LAURENCE
I am the greatest, able to do least,
Yet most suspected, as the time and place
Doth make against me of this direful murder;
And here I stand, both to impeach and purge
Myself condemned and myself excused.
PRINCE
Then say at once what thou dost know in this.
FRIAR LAURENCE
I will be brief, for my short date of breath
Is not so long as is a tedious tale.
Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet;
And she, there dead, that Romeo's faithful wife:
I married them; and their stol'n marriage-day
Was Tybalt's dooms-day, whose untimely death
Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from the city,
For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pined.
You, to remove that siege of grief from her,
Betroth'd and would have married her perforce
To County Paris: then comes she to me,

And, with wild looks, bid me devise some mean
To rid her from this second marriage,
Or in my cell there would she kill herself.
Then gave I her, so tutor'd by my art,
A sleeping potion; which so took effect
As I intended, for it wrought on her
The form of death: meantime I writ to Romeo,
That he should hither come as this dire night,
To help to take her from her borrow'd grave,
Being the time the potion's force should cease.
But he which bore my letter, Friar John,
Was stay'd by accident, and yesternight
Return'd my letter back. Then all alone
At the prefixed hour of her waking,
Came I to take her from her kindred's vault;
Meaning to keep her closely at my cell,
Till I conveniently could send to Romeo:
But when I came, some minute ere the time
Of her awaking, here untimely lay
The noble Paris and true Romeo dead.
She wakes; and I entreated her come forth,
And bear this work of heaven with patience:
But then a noise did scare me from the tomb;
And she, too desperate, would not go with me,
But, as it seems, did violence on herself.
All this I know; and to the marriage
Her nurse is privy: and, if aught in this
Miscarried by my fault, let my old life
Be sacrificed, some hour before his time,
Unto the rigour of severest law.
PRINCE
We still have known thee for a holy man.
Where's Romeo's man? what can he say in this?
BALTHASAR
I brought my master news of Juliet's death;
And then in post he came from Mantua
To this same place, to this same monument.

This letter he early bid me give his father,
And threatened me with death, going in the vault,
I departed not and left him there.
PRINCE
Give me the letter; I will look on it.
Where is the county's page, that raised the watch?
Sirrah, what made your master in this place?
PAGE
He came with flowers to strew his lady's grave;
And bid me stand aloof, and so I did:
Anon comes one with light to ope the tomb;
And by and by my master drew on him;
And then I ran away to call the watch.
PRINCE
This letter doth make good the friar's words,
Their course of love, the tidings of her death:
And here he writes that he did buy a poison
Of a poor 'pothecary, and therewithal
Came to this vault to die, and lie with Juliet.
Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!
See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.
And I for winking at your discords too
Have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish'd.
CAPULET
O brother Montague, give me thy hand:
This is my daughter's jointure, for no more
Can I demand.
MONTAGUE
But I can give thee more:
For I will raise her statue in pure gold;

That while Verona by that name is known,
There shall no figure at such rate be set
As that of true and faithful Juliet.
CAPULET
As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie;
Poor sacrifices of our enmity!
PRINCE
A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
Exeunt

               The text above is a master piece of Shakespeare. I am talking about "Romeo and Juliet". We all know the ending that makes our hearts filled with tears, it is an unforgettable and perfect ending for others. But if I will change it, I will make it like this: I will start in the part that Paris and Romeo were talking to each other. Romeo asked Paris to leave them there alone. But Paris disagrees. Paris asked Romeo "How much do you love Juliet?". Romeo said "I can sell my life for Juliet's life." Romeo was crying while saying that line. "How about you?" asked Romeo. "I can also sell my life, same with you." Paris answered. "But Juliet loves me." Romeo said. Then their conversation became longer. Although Romeo didn't receive the letter of Juliet, he still knew that Juliet was still alive because while they were talking Juliet woke up and saw Romeo and Paris fighting. Juliet shouted. Paris and Romeo were shocked. Romeo run over to Juliet to kiss her while Paris stayed where he was standing. Juliet and Romeo kissed. Paris got angry and aiming to punch Romeo's face but Juliet shouted. "Paris stop! I don't love you, my true love is Romeo. So stop hoping that our marriage will continue. Even if both of us die. So please Paris stop!" A silence occurred but after a few minutes Paris talked, "Okay Juliet, I really love you but for you to become happy, I will let you go." "Run Romeo and Juliet someone is coming." Romeo and Juliet run. No one found them after that. That's the reason for the peace between the Capulet and Montague.

                    This is my own ending of Romeo and Juliet.

Mommy and Daddy you're both so great.
