Dilemma

         As they fall into my eyes from a dark gray mournful sky

What a feeling may come to tolerate this pain in the neck

To seek vengeance and struck a sword of thorns

To keep me bleeding in a bed of crimson petals

I could take anything but not this rage of crows

As it keeps killing me over and over again

When would this miserable part of my life

Takes it’s final bow and never be back

But everything has a purpose when it comes

Every problem can make us all better persons

We should analyze and take what problems give us

For them to be a tool to make us well-built human

Dreadful experiences laugh at us at times

When we panic and risk our beloved lives

Just be strong and intelligent enough to think

For we can change this mad man to a marvelous dream

            

What a Wonderful World

Forever Green

Our land is more valuable than your money. As long as the sun shines and the waters flow, this land will be here to give life to men and animals; therefore, we cannot sell this land. It was put here for us by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not belong to us. This land of ours, blessing us the richest gold man has ever known. Before you can speak, this land is here, just waiting for men to enrich it. But, sadly, man continues to abuse and go over the limits instead of doing the responsibilities that we should accomplish. I still believe that something can be done to stop the miserable things that are happening to our mother.

In early times, they say that Global Warming is a fiction but as the hands of time move, a fiction became a fact. Instead of caring for our planet, others prefer to cut trees and mine illegally. In this ways, our planet is having wounds that can harmless today but have a great influence in the future.  I’ll pray that the leaders of the countries may do something to stop these horrifying acts. If these actions are not stopped, maybe the Armageddon that scientists are saying will be soon. I’m always saying to myself that something can be done to stop these responsibilities that us, humans, are doing to help die this planet. The government has many groups and organizations that are implementing the right actions and procedures that should be done to help people understand and do the actions that will help our planet to recover from the wounds it took from the past few years. People are more sensitive in all things that can destroy the Earth. In my community, we our implementing the no to plastic campaign that states that no plastics should be used to lessen the flood in irrigations and community canals. In school, it is also implemented to discipline teachers, staff and especially the students about the crisis that Earth is now facing.  Nature should be forever green, If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

See? Anything in this world can be beautiful as the tulips moving by the air if we, stewards of nature will care for our mother. Just think for a second. If you want your grandchildren to smell the fresh air, sleep on the verdant grass, sit under the shade of an oak tree, then, you should take part of the move to care and rejuvenate the old and fresh look of Earth. I want to hear the voice of my grandchildren saying, “ What a wonderful world. “

Romeo and Juliet; The Comic ONE!

We all know that the famous novel of William Shakespeare has a tragic ending. But in this blog, we are going to find out the comic ending of this novel. I do not expect you to laugh or appreciate my blog but I just wanna’ express my ideas about “What if Romeo and Juliet will be created in the 21^st century style with a comic ending?” Probably, I can answer my own question by creating this blog.

This is where it all starts,

Romeo is going to Juliet’s tomb for he’s servant heard. While he is in the pathway to Juliet’s tomb he heard a voice, the voice of tybalt that is saying “Romeo, you Montague! You gay! I didn’t have a chance to say “goodbye” to my neighbor’s wife!” While Romeo continued to walk, at the horizon, he can see Juliet’s tomb and Juliet is opening her facebook account. When Romeo shouted Juliet’s name, Juliet went to her tomb and the laptop fell then Juliet’s account was seen by Romeo and Romeo saw a conversation saying “Call me? 7768-889-08 xOxO”.(While Call me maybe was playing..) Romeo’s face was awful. While crying in grief, Paris came.  Paris drew his sword but unfortunately, he drew a Barbie doll. After this incidence, they fought. While they are fighting, Juliet was capturing the fight using an iPhone. She posted it on YouTube and after a minute, it reached 1,000,000 hits.

After the fight, Romeo killed Paris, Paris was saying his last words, “Oh Romeo, You killed me, Oh Juliet, I have a confession to make……. I….am a ……g..ay!” Then Paris lost his breath. While Romeo was shocked for his actions, Juliet fell asleep again. Romeo was creeping around, lost his mind and even playing a Nintendo Gameboy. After his despicable actions, he thought of dying, he got a bottle and drank the liquid inside of it. He acted to be dead but he was not. He looked at the bottle and it was only an energy drink. For his anger for himself, he got the poison and drank it. He was dead, then Friar Lawrence entered the room. He saw the two dead bodies and captured a photo of it and made it a wallpaper for his phone. There are creepy sounds that Friar Lawrence heard, he dashed out of the room screaming like a gay. Juliet woke up. Juliet saw Jessica Sanchez singing “All my Life” and Juliet drew the dagger of Romeo and struck herself with it. But something happened, she was revived my Shrek and they lived happily ever after.

This is how I create a comic ending for Romeo and Juliet. Hope you like it! :P

Happy Ever After

 New Perspective: Romeo and Juliet; New Ending by Razel Villanueva

            Romeo and Juliet is a novel by William Shakespeare that I think is a life time work of art that will be appreciated by readers. Most of the modern love stories have a happy ever after ending but this novel has a tragic ending that both lovers died together for their extreme passion to each other.

We all know that Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story of two lovers that end their love cause destiny played their feelings. This is my own version of this love story that I really like. This is not an ordinary tragic ending but a mysterious one. But Juliet and Romeo continued their love after all.

ACT 5; SCENE 3

            Romeo: You ruthless coward! You are the reason why my heart begins to die.

Paris: Montague! Don’t be such a blamer! This tragedy ruined our marriage! For this, I should tear you to pieces. Juliet doesn’t love you.

           

Romeo: She is, she probably commit her love to me. Our love is in high spirits! You are the one who should die.

Paris: Well then, we’ll see about that. As a part of the Capulet’s family, I am honored to swish my blade through your dirty body.

Romeo: My blade will take revenge for my fair maiden!                                     

            ( While the two are having a battle…..)

            Juliet: Oh, my dear Romeo! Please bring to an end that brutal clash between the two of you.

            Paris: Romeo? Why do you utter such words to Romeo?  What is the meaning of this?

Juliet: We love each other Paris that is the reason I keep myself sleeping to act dead so we cannot be married.

Paris: wha..What? I should knew it!

Romeo: My dear Juliet, why do you act like this? I nearly sacrificed my love!

Juliet: Romeo, its fine. Paris, I love Romeo, you should respect my feeling if you love me.

Paris: I certainly respect that. I should tell you the truth. I didn’t love Juliet at all. I love Rosalie but my father told me to marry Juliet.

Romeo: You should obey your feelings. And after you obeyed it, everything is going to be fine.

Paris: Can you take my apology?  

Romeo: Of course, I will.

Juliet: We should go to the palace Romeo and tell to my parents that we love each other.

           

            (at the palace….)

            Juliet: Oh my dear mother should you allow me to love this Romeo.

Lady Capulet: Should I allow you? Well, yes.  After you acted dead, I want you to go and do whatever you want because I want to see my daughter happy again.

Capulet: We should respect your decision. We and the Montagues will stop the argument.

Juliet: Oh thank you father! I and Romeo will express our love forever.

Romeo: I love you Juliet.

Juliet: I love you too, my dear.

After a few weeks, the Montagues and the Capulets arranged a marriage for their beloved children. The people of Verona were very happy because the two royal families joined together to build peace. This marriage allows Romeo to be the next ruler beside Juliet. Paris and Rosalie live their whole life together. After a few years, Romeo and Juliet have their own twins. They are, Jack and Jill. And their family, live happily ever after. THE END

Now, I have created my own way to end the so famous novel of Romeo and Juliet. Like many love stories ,I ended up this novel with a “ Happy Ever After” ending. It is beautiful to imagine that two lovers ended up to the equation that they are going to start a family and have their own children. This seems to be an ordinary ending for most of the readers but I really prefer this kind of ending to love stories.

           

All is Well

Perfect Ones

          Even if the world starts to end, our own family will still be with us no matter what the tragedy is. They are the people that wish us the best of luck in all circumstances. We all do need a family that always supportive to you as you reach your goal. See, what are you now, is always a symbol of your family, all your characteristics, traits and hobbies. As for me, I, myself consider my family as a perfect one. Perfect as they help me understand the zigzag way of life.

          My family is an average Filipino family like we were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. Other things can shove us to evil but we are still end up to our family to beg for forgiveness and ask for opinions. We still need to keep their warm embraces and show them that they are really important to us, not for physical things but for everything even it is a mental or psychological problem we endure, we need them always. A friend can betray you, your love can break you, but your family will always be there for you. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching, they are your family. You, reading this blog, is remembered by your family and they are saying, ”You are special to us”.

          I, being the eldest of my siblings, is blessed because I am the first

 one to help my parents raise my siblings. Even my family had problems that really shocked our walls, we still manage to resolve them one by one. As I grow up, I know that the members of my family will drive their selves to their ultimate goal. Even I, will drive my own way. But as I build my own family, I will still reminisce the old times when my family had a smile on their lips as we talk to each other. Misunderstandings, quarrels, and jealousy are great factors to destroy a family but our walls are strong and firm enough to endure those pains. I am proud that I am a part of a strong group of people that stays strong together. 

Dance with My Father

                                                           

A Superhero of My Own

            Every day in our lives, there is a guy who always works for your needs and protect you. A guy that has supernatural courage to earn a living for his family. And this guy is what we call, our dad. Our dad will almost do all for us. A father can even do the worst thing that he can do just to help us by giving our schooling and our daily meals. He is doing this because he envisions us to be a successful professional someday. In his own special day, we should make him happy as a sign of appreciation for all the sacrifices he had taken for us.

            In his special day, I will give him the biggest hug that I can give. I will serve him for the whole day and even reminisce those moments together. I will give him a puppy as a sign of my love for him. As I do all of this,  A simple “Thank you” can complete my day. This is only the simplest way to say thank you for all he had done to us. We are going to stroll at the park while eating our ice creams. Going to the movies together with him is good but most of all, I want to play basketball with him. Since I have known to play basketball, my father won’t play with me. Playing against him would be a dream come true. For his special day, I will utter the words that I rarely say, “ I love you dad”.

            Almost all the time, our dad works. Give our outmost care for him every day to make him comfortable after a grueling day at work. Without our father, we would be nothing. God gave us the right father that fits us. As time passes, we should make him feel that we love him. All I wanna’ do is to dance with my father, at the end of the day, I will say that I have the best dad in the world.

           

           

( I LOVE YOU PAPA!)

Just Another Year to Earn

 

 Just Another Year to Earn

            What a summer it has been, and now, it is time to go to school. I’ve been dreaming about a perfect start to go back school ever since I went to high school. I encountered fear, awkwardness, disappointment and rejection in my first two years but ever since I took a step up and being a third year high school student, it felt differently. I met similar people but something touched my heart. We seemed to be delighted with each other and I don’t know the reason why! We just happy that after two months of non-stop entertainment, we reunite and simply just have fun! Now, we have new members of our family! 

           

    In my first two weeks of action in school, my atmosphere had been not the usual. I see faces that are not familiar with my eyes, my new classmates and teachers. I’ve been guessing for quite some time about the attitudes of my new classmates. But when I got along with them, I can see that we have a future in being good friends. I have a new girl classmate that I’ve been talking to. We have a great time. Similar with my new boy classmates, I enjoy talking to her. Our new teachers have been fabulous to us! They are not boring teachers. They can make us laugh but at the same time, we learn new things and even words of wisdom that we can use in our everyday lives. I can envision that this year is going to be a spectacular one!

            In our life, we meet those persons that can give you a friendly advice. These are the persons who can understand your thoughts. They are the persons you meet when you are growing up. Others say that high school is the happiest and the most gleeful time of our life. Even though there are hardships, it cannot replace the learning and the bonding you have with the people you mostly hang up with. These people are your classmates and teachers. I am hoping that my Junior life will be the most memorable one!
