Poem
Brought by
by: Erika Gibson
Iñigo
I look at the sad
freezing drops of rain.
They cry with me behind my window pane.
A pour of heavy
weeping from above,
Beneath the sky--these mocking pairs of love.
And now, a sudden
scream of silence came.
Our world outside seems no longer the same.
Stood with nowhere to run, no help of aid,
Amplified into thousand kiss of blade
A man took every
inch of love I have.
Why, oh why did you leave this poor white
dove?
I beg of you, spare me one minute break,
Or this I feel
might drown me down the lake.
And just before I
fell into the sand,
A stranger came and tightly held my hand.
His deep brown eyes
tells me—trust and remain.
But this scared heart refuse to feel again.
He drew the dagger
out from my swelling chest.
A torture from hell but it was the best.
How will I know I won’t hurt if I sleep?
I guess to find out, is to-take-a-leap.

The Vampire Diaries Review
|
The hit tv series the vampire diaries recently finished
its fourth season later this year and everyone was excited to see the next
season this October. The season ended with one of the main character Stefan
Salvatore drowning and grasping for air inside a box dropped from the edge of a
water fall. For the avid fans of the series, the ending was indeed an amazing
cliff hanger that made the viewers frantic and juiced up for the season 5
premiere.
The Vampire Diaries is all about the
love triangle between the Salvatore brothers and the sweet and innocent Elena
Gilbert. The brothers are both vampires who fell in love with an 18 year old
girl. Elena lost her innocence when she turned into vampire at the season 3
finale and this changed her relationship with Stefan then ended up falling of
the other brother. For the first 3
seasons, Elena was dating Stefan Salvatore and by the end of season 4 she found
herself allured by the charms of the other brother, Damon Salvatore. For most
fans, they find it unpleasant for Elena to switch Salvatores and date both of
them one at a time. This made fans and loyal viewers confused with who she will
chose at the end of the show.
The visual effects of the tv show
have gratified the spectators of the renowned series. The quality of each episode
is noted to be pleasing amongst the viewers. Through the years of filming and
evolution of technology, the cast and crew of the vampire diaries have elevated
in giving out high quality episodes especially the scenes where Elena is with
her doppelganger which is acted by the same actress Nina Dobrev, viewers will
definitely be convinced that the two characters are in the same room. Combining
both the talents of the men behind the cameras, directors, producers and the
amazing actors and actresses, the series have delivered a marvelous series that
have hooked people of varied ages for almost 5 years now.
The show have been imminently
compared with the movie Twilight because of the love triangle between Edward
the Vampire, Jake the werewolf and Bella the innocent teenage girl who fell in
love with Edward. Unlike the movie, there is no werewolf involve around the
love triangle but it is also incorporated along the show. In the movie, the
leading lady have made up her mind as to who she really loves but in the
series, Elena have been switching Salvatores along the season and it’s still
not clear to the viewers who she will end up in the series finale. The tv
series is most definitely extra detailed than the movie and is more complicated
in terms of the story line.
The vampire Diaries is a fun and
entertaining tv series to watch and each episode doesn’t fail to quench the
thirst of fans and lead them to demand for more about the love triangle of the
characters and the difficulties that they are going through each season. I
absolutely recommend this series to everyone out there who wants adventure,
excitement and adrenaline rush all in one tv series.
Book Review
Message in a Bottle Review
“THE
NOVEL’S UNBASHED EMOTION—AND AN UNEXPECTED TURN— WILL PUT TEARS IN YOUR
EYES”—PEOPLE, this is just one of the many comments that this book have
received from the people who have read the book. It’s one of the books written
by the #1 New York Times Best Selling Author Nicholas Sparks. This is an
amazing creation of an incredible author that is filled with emotion and
beauty.
This
is the second book that was adapted into a movie just like the first book of
Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook. It is about the life of two characters Theresa
and Garret meeting and falling in love because of fate. Garret was throwing a
message in a bottle in the waves of the ocean for her departed wife Catherine
and of all the places that the letter could have ended up with, fate has given
it in the hands of a divorced and a mother of a twelve-year-old son, Theresa.
Upon reading the letter, Theresa felt the passion and pain of the person who
wrote it and it became her driving motivation to look for the person behind the
exquisite letter. Just like Sparks’ first novel, The Notebook, the storyline
revolved around a small and quite town which I believe one of the writing
styles of the author.
The author has
delivered a beautiful composition where he used a clean and smooth way of
writing. He’s choice of words and sentence construction can be easily
understood by the readers and at the same time, it is packed with artistry and
grace that makes everyone fall in love with the characters of the story. With
he’s way of writing, Nicholas have given the audience an experience of feeling
the emotions, pain and happiness of each chapter of the novel. He has also
injected real-life situations and problems that made the readers relate to the
lives of Theresa and Garret.
Although a lot
of readers felt bad about the ending of the novel where Garret died in the
ocean and left Theresa suffering in pain of losing the love of her life, in my
own perspective, I like how he ended the novel. Yes, it’s true that Garret’s death
is tragic and heartbreaking but it also touched that part in my heart where I
felt really bad and I can almost feel my heart getting crushed because they
didn’t end up together. My point is that I felt their pain and loss, I felt how
distressing and agonizing the feeling of losing someone and Nicholas Sparks
gave me that experience. He made me feel that a certain emotion can exist just
by reading a novel.
Personally, I love the novel
despite of others who didn’t like the ending I would say that it is a beautiful
and passionate story. Every single detail was magnificent and the emotions
carried out by the characters are extraordinary and exceptional. I bow to
Nicholas Sparks for creating a beautiful piece of art and sharing it to the
world.
Movie Review
The Conjuring Review
Here
comes a horror movie that everyone is talking about—The Conjuring. This movie
has been popular over the internet for the past few weeks. People from
different social sites like facebook, twitter, tumblr and even on youtube are
talking like crazy about this movie.
The
Conjuring is a rated R film directed by James Wan who is popular in directing
other horror movies such as Insidious, Saw and etc. Unlike Insidious and Saw
who had many sequels, James Wan finally jumped into another type of horror film
that is based on real life events. The
movie is established on a real life exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a
married couple that investigates paranormal events. The film is focused on the
Warren’s famous case where they investigated a witch’s curse on a family who
lives in what seems to be a serene farm. The movie started off by introducing a
possessed doll named Annabelle who torments the life of two young nurses. At
first, I thought the movie is all about Annabelle scaring the souls out of
people because Annabelle’s creepy face is shown all over the movie’s posters
and trailers. But then, the freaky doll was only given a small part in the
movie which is kind of a bummer. They then introduced the real center of the
story, the Perron family, who innocently moves in a cursed house where they
experienced all weird stuff like birds knocking dead in their house, picture
frames falling out from their walls, and a paranormal entity (appearing every
3:07 in dawn) who’s playing “hide and clap” with them and dragging their
children’s feet while sleeping. They also presented an odd looking tree with no
leaves on it, it was said to be the spot where the witch who confessed her love
to Satan committed suicide The Perrons were genuinely helped by the Warrens in which they were able
to defeat the demonic curse at the end. But this is after all the dispute that
they encountered against the dark entity. The film have shown how hard the
family fought when Mrs. Perron got possessed, their daughter got dragged across
the living room and was slammed on walls and windows, the police (who only
wanted to help) got bitten and knocked off by the possessed Mrs. Perron and
ghosts of different entity showing up in front of their faces all of a sudden. It
was a great horror movie, there are a lot of breathe taking moments where you
would freeze in your seat waiting for the ghost to show up but then it doesn’t
happen and while you’re all relaxed, something will show up on the screen that
will make you jump off your chair and you’ll have that mini heart attack that
will make guys scream like a little girl. With all of the different scary elements
and the organized plot presentation, the movie has successfully caught the
hearts of the viewers who loves horror films.
The
movie has succeeded in giving people a horror film that is worth watching for
movie goers who loves to get goose bumps. The effects and timing of the
paranormal entity in the film were very accurate and effective. This film has
given us a happy ending where the Perron family was released from the curse which
we missed from Insidious and all of the sequels of Saw. I also love the idea of
the clock stopping at exactly 3:07 in the morning and whenever I wake up at
dawn to go to the rest room, that part of the movie always make me alert and
vigilant with my surrounding which is kind of silly. This only shows that the
movie has an impact on me and other people who watched this film. What I would
have loved more is for them to show a little bit more of Annabelle in the film
because I was interested about her part of the story where I kind of didn’t get
from the film. But if I have to describe this film in one word, it would be
“spine-chilling”. So if you haven’t
watched the movie, I guarantee, you will never play hide and clap ever again
and you will remember this film for the rest of your human life.

Descriptive Essay
The Market
The market is the placee where we get all the primary
things that we need in our daily life. All the fresh fruit and vegetables are
found in the market. We even pick the best ingredients that we could find to
cook our favorite dishes and desserts.
I went to the market this morning and the first thing that
I noticed is the different voices of the people inside the market. The
whispering voices of the people buying and the vendors who persuades and
negotiate with consumers to buy their product. On the left corner of the market,
I can hear the woman calling customers and trying to sell her fishes to the
people who walks pass her. She sells variety of fishes some are big and some
are small. The lights above them hit the scales of the fishes and it glows in
front of your eyes as if they were shining diamonds. As the vendor grabs her
blue drum full of fish and transfers it to the table made of tiles for display,
the scaly body of the fishes glimmered when they spread together for the
costumers to see. The fishes have some kind of foul and salty smell but you can
tell the fishes are fresh because the bodies of the fishes are firm and not
lumpy. Beside the fish vendor is a woman who sells different kinds of
vegetables and I hear her loud and husky voice saying,” here, fresh ampalaya,
alugbatti, okra, kalabasa. Just name it and we have it.” When I turned to see
her, she’s a happy vendor with a slender body wearing a red shirt. She was packing
a bunch of lemons and laughing while calling out costumers and at the same time
talking with her co-vendor who sells tapioca, nata, oil, soy sauce and vinegar.
The woman in red sells many kinds of vegetables on her wooden table. I noticed
the shiny and violet skin of the “talong” and they were in medium size with
fresh green stems. The “talong” feels smooth to the touch unlike the wrinkly
body of the “ampalaya”. Beside it are green leafy “pechay” and fresh green
Bagiuo beans. She also sells big sized carrots and white radish and they both
have brown lines on their skin and green stems but they definitely look good
and fresh. She sells potatoes in medium and big size and they have traces of
dark spots and dirt on its skin which is rough when touched. Basically, all of
her vegetables looked like there were in their best shape for all the costumers
looking for fresh and delicious products. There are also fruit vendors who sell
mangoes, bananas, watermelons, pineapple and etc. But what I love the most is
the sweet smell of the large yellow mango that lingered in my nose when I
walked pass by a woman slicing one of her mangoes and the smell was divine. But
as I walk around, a foul and rotting smell entered my nose and it almost made
me want to throw up. Some vendors are piling off their rotting products in a
corner and it created an awful smell. It was very disappointing to see people
who neglect the policy of making the market clean for everybody.
You can find all sorts of things in the market. You can
find the freshest fruits and vegetables but at the same time you can also find
low quality food and sometimes rotting smell all over the place but the
experience of seeing products that are not in good quality will definitely make
you a better person of choosing what is
fresh and what is not.

Descriptive Essay of my Crush
“Crush”
I had my first crush when I was in high school. I was third year back then and my best friend April kept on taking me with her in the school pathway to wait for her crush to walk pass us. And when her crush comes, she would shriek and giggle as if she was kissed by her crush. I didn’t understand her excitement of seeing that boy until the unsuspected moment when I saw Stefan.
Stefan is the campus crush in our small public school. I didn’t know that until the day I laid my eyes on him. As he walked in the pathway, I gazed upon the beauty of this handsome face. He walks like a runway model on a high fashion event. He’s a little bit taller than me and he has an ivory complexion. His face mimics the grace of that of an angel. His dark amber eyes were not big, not small or chinito, they were perfectly in the middle of those qualities. And his eye lashes were long and it totally complements the shape of his eyes. His nose is pointy and his lips were lusciously red. And when he smiles, his white teeth brightens up my day like the glorious sun does to the buds of roses.
The thing that caught me attracted to him was his eyes and his smile. I couldn’t describe how beautiful and extraordinary the feeling of him staring at me. It’s so magical that you were like caught in a loop were no one is around but the both of you. And when the enchanted moment of him smiling at you comes, it feels like the angels in heaven were singing and you were in your own paradise and nothing matters but that single moment where you look into each other’s eyes and it just makes you happy from the inside out.
Stefan was a real gentleman. When my best friend was finally courted by her crush I found out that her crush and Stefan were cousins and at that moments, we were finally introduced to each other. It was raining that day and we were in the pathway. It felt like it was not raining at all, rather, snows are gently falling from the sky above us. When we were about to go home, he kindly asked me if he could walk with me. My heart pumped and I could not believe that he wants to walk me home. I could not catch my breath at that moment but I smoothly said yes. He hurriedly went to get his bag and borrowed an umbrella to I-don’t-know-who but he did it to prevent me from getting wet. While walking, I was looking at him and it was as if I was trapped in his beauty and suddenly, he grabbed my waist and drew me closer to him. I was so scared and I was trembling in excitement and at the same time confused about why he acted that way. For a moment, I thought that he was going to kiss me or something. But he brightly smiled at me and said,” you were about to step on a puddle of mud”. I blushed in shame because I was so distracted and I looked silly in front of him. When we arrived at the market were I’m supposed to take a ride back home, he voluntarily called a ride for me and I went home with the memory of his face looking and smiling at me.
Eventually, he courted me and of course I gave him my sweetest yes. We were doing fine for the first few weeks but then, the end of the rainbow came and there was no pot of gold and unicorns but only fake coins and fake attitudes. He became so arrogant and prejudice. He talks about unfortunate people and laughs at their misfortune. Slowly, I painfully fell from the paradise that I thought I had. The last straw of my patience broke when he demanded a kiss from me. I hesitated to give him that opportunity and I broke up with him. I realized that the most handsome face doesn’t always have the most handsome heart. But I thank him, for he has contributed to my maturity and my personality. It may not be in the most positive way but it surely ended well for me.
