Nothing Seems to be Permanent


Another Shakespearean piece which blew me away."Macbeth". It was like everything that Shakespeare creates it can totally be applied in our lives. It's like in his every piece there is  a hidden lesson for us to find out. 


"Fair is foul and foul is fair" a line which was said by the three witches in the first part of the story. A quote which was really difficult to understand, used simple words but with very deep meaning indeed. What is this supposed to mean?

For me, nothing seems to be permanent in this world. The only constant thing in this world is the word change. With the line thrown by the three witches I can say that it was a realization that sometimes the good people are the worst ones. The good people sometimes hide the ugliest truths.It can also be inferred that these people who you think are good changes and becomes the worst enemy. Another interpretation of mine is sometimes if you had this opportunity and you grabbed it then you became the most popular, most intelligent you tend to change your attitude and you turned out to be boastful. Sometimes when you have the power you tend to change attitude.And sometimes when you loose and felt defeated you try to do your best next time and you become the good one. It's like you have to experience both good things and bad things in life that will totally change your personality.It's only in your hands how you will cope up with these kind of situations; Will you still be the good one? or you'll change and be the bad one?

It's quite hard for me to explain everything so here's an example to put everything simple.


In the first part of the story the girl seemed to be the nicest girl! But then you wouldn't expect her to be so evil and competitive. When she won in every contest she became boastful. And the boastful one or the mean one in the first part of the story becomes the good one because she realized it when she was bullied also and was defeated.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

William Shakespeare is truly an amazing and most talented writers I have ever known. Another story of his which showed a lot of skills and imagination. A Midsummer Night's Dream, a story which tackles different kinds of genres, comedy, romance, and fantasy. I had really fun reading the story. The themes of the story was about difficulties in love, magic and the relationships between fantasy and reality and between environment and reality. 

What can be the most awaited part of all the readers? Of course it's the climax. The part of the story where the highest point of tension is read. This is where the struggle is found and how the characters will act to this struggle. In short, this is the BEST PART OF THE STORY!

For our Informal theme this week, we were asked to post what we think is the climax of Shakespeare's piece " A Midsummer Night's Dream".. First of all, when I searched for the climax of the story in the net, it says that it doesn't have a real climax. " In the strictest sense, there is no real climax, as the conflicts of the play are all resolved swiftly by magical means"

But for me the climax is found in Activity 3 scene 2. This part focused on the confusion among the four Athenian lovers. Now that both men have been magically induced to switch their love from Hermia to Helena, the vanities and insecurities of both women become far more pronounced. Helena’s low self-esteem prevents her from believing that either man could really be in love with her.

The two Athenian men end up falling in love with Helena instead of Hermia because of the potion. The young men fought each other for Helena's love making Hermia jealous. Afterwards the young girls fought through physical test but then turned out to be an emotional test. Good thing Puck was there to make peace with all the fighting going on. Puck’s magical ventriloquism is what prevents Lysander and Demetrius from killing each other. And thaat is the climax for mee. :))

Forgiving Has Never Been Easy

What's PAST IS PAST..... " I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again." Are these phrases enough for you to forgive someone? Forget all the things she or he did to you?


People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. We commit mistakes in life.  To remind you all WE ARE NOT PERFECT~ To forgive? YES; To forget? I DON'T KNOW..... 

"The best way to forgive is to forget?" Is that the way it is? What if someone hurt you, you felt like a truck hit you for five times and it crashed you down into pieces. Can you forgive this person? We forgive a lot but we can't forget what’s had been said and done .We are all wounded. We are all inadequate. 

There's a story I'd like to share about someone!~

♫♪And the hurt I feel is slowly dying..Now I'm no longer crying..It's leading to a new beginning And that's because I'm talking about forgiveness♫♪

She was young, immature but a girl who has a big heart.  She met this guy who she believed loved her like how she loved him. She has been fooled into thinking that she needs the boy to be happy. They kept on having communication... trying to know each other and they went to point where they felt LOVE? promises were said. But promises are really meant to be broken. After a few months, the guy decided to end their Mutual Understanding, which broke the girl's heart. She heard different rumors that this guy whom she loved liked someone else.. and the like. 

This made the girl realized that she should have knew it in the first place. Anger and frustration filled the girl's heart. Though this guy hurt him, she still holds on to these memories they had. Those happy moments... Though they were two different people with two different personalities they still found  a way where they fit.  These memories where they felt completely alive and loved. But maybe some fairy tales don't deserve a happy ending.


It was really hard for the girl to forgive the guy because she loved him. And for once she felt that she has been also loved. So she realized that maybe they aren't meant to be together. and they were young and in love. They don't know how to handle this kind of things. Now, they are now strangers with memories. She tried to forget EVERY SINGLE THING. It's like they never knew each other. She thought that it would be the best way for her to forgive and move on with this guy through FORGETTING everything. Of course at the beginning it was hard for her. She even had so many lonely nights thinking about it... but she grew better and mature. Now she is officially happy and freeeeee. Realizing that she made the craziest thing ever. But this pain changed her...:))

Forgiving and forgetting someone takes time. Especially if this someone had given you the worst memories and experience. But forgetting about the things someone did to you is reaally hard. But it still depends on the person how he/ she will forgive someone.. :)) to end this, for me, it will be hard for me to forget everything because the harm has been done. You won't let him or her enter your life again.. XDD



~ We were everything but we lost itt. We were meant to be supposed to beeeeee.

Sporty VS Geek





We were made differently. Some are these so called " geeks" who prefer to study and read the whole day than to stay physically fit and do workouts. Some are these athletic people who excel in sports. These two differ a lot from one another. First of all, a Geek or a smart person excel in all SUBJECTS. While athletic people prefer to play sports and do daily activities than to stick with books and reading. Usually these athletic people are not that intelligent. It's not because they don't like studying but they were made for sports. They were made to be better in sports than in academics. While in intelligent people it is very rare to have an intelligent people and also sporty. Because when we talk of intelligent, smart, geeks we usually think of someone who is weak, doesn't do exercises and not good in sports. Even this two personalities differ from each other they do still have similarities. Excelling in sports or in academics both are obtained through practice and study. Academically Excellent people and sporty people must be determined, hardworking, and persevered for them to reach their goals in life. Both of these also gone through pains, and struggles but when they got hurt, this is when they get their rewards.




If I had the chance to choose between academically excellent person from a sporty person, I would choose to be an academically excellent person. For me, books first, studies first before anything  else. Because if I show good grades, it will lead me to a brighter future. My learning in school dictates my future. If I excel in academics there is a possibility than there is a bright future ahead of me, unlike in sporty people they're career isn't for lifetime. It's temporary, they can't be forever famous or they can't always use their sports skills in their future. But it doesn't mean that when you stick to becoming an intelligent person you will not do sports. We should be able to balance everything. Remember it's the learning that counts. Whatever you learn from sports or in school you should be able to apply it in your life that will help you. 

To sum up this topic, it doesn't really matter if your sporty; not sporty; intelligent : or not intelligent as long as you know where you really excel this will help you make better decisions in life. God has given you different talents and skills. We should be thankful of it. And remember it's how we use our learning , when and where to apply those. 



~ We were not made perfect. but we were made to be AMAZING.
