"End of Blogging"

I am so happy because this is the last blog entry needed so that I can already comply the requirements for English II. After this blog entry, I can already rest and be relaxed because I’m not going to think about topics anymore and I can already sleep early and rest and rest.

I’ve been stressed out for the past few days because I had sleepless nights because of this blog project. And now, I am much excited because this is the end of my suffering. I can already sleep early and I will not think about topics to talk to anymore and I will no longer compose compositions about some topics.

This blog project also helped me in some ways like enhancing my writing skills, my composition skills, my skills in using English language in writing, and so many other skills. This project is useful in that way but it is also tiring and really needs patience and I’m so grateful that I came at this point that I already reached the number of entries required. At first, I really thought that I will not make it because I’m not good in writing especially when using the English language. But because of waiting patiently, continuing to make some compositions, and asking help form others, I am able to accomplish my task which is to post nineteen blog entries and this entry is the last and final.

It really took me a lot of time composing my blog entries. It also got much of my money because I need to rent a computer in order to post my compositions and it also took much of my time because during the past few days, my time schedule was only allotted for this blog project and I didn’t think of other things but blog, blog, blog.

But now, as I reached this point, I felt a great feeling in me. I can finally rest my brain from thinking of the topics that I’m going to talk to and I can now spend my time doing other things. The past days were really hard and stressful for me because the deadline is fast approaching and I only had one fourth of the required entries and I reached a point where I can’t think of topics to talk about anymore. But now, it is a great thing to think that I have already accomplished the required posts.

It is already late in the evening but I’m still making this blog entry. But it is okay because after this, there will be no more blog entries to work on. I don’t have much to say right now but I am writing whatever I think of just to finish this blog entry. Yes! I’m almost done. Just a few more words and this is finished.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank sir Elmer because of him, my writing skills enhanced and I learned many things about blogging just because of this blog project.

"Buddy"

Buddy is one of Tiny’s first batch puppies. He is Tiny’s son. If you don’t know who tiny is, she is my pet dog. Buddy was one of Tiny’s first puppies. There were seven of them but he is the only one here with us.

Tiny took good care of Buddy and his siblings. When they grew up, it was now the time for them to be given away because we cannot afford to take care of seven puppies. They were slowly taken by people but then, nobody got Buddy. We don’t know why. Maybe because he didn’t look good that time. Honestly, he was really ugly that time. He has long nose, long ears, and short legs. Because nobody got him, we were forced to take care of him and we did took care of him until now.

As Buddy grew, we realized that he is not ugly at all. We found out that he was cute! His long nose, long ears, and short feet make him look awesome. As he continued to grow, we were able to appreciate his beauty and we treated him as a special member of the family. Buddy was a playful dog and now, even if he is already old, he still sometimes go and play with our other dogs.

Like Tiny, Buddy was also a great help to us. He was the very reason why no robber was able to get in our house. He is a really wild dog. If you look at him, probably you will be scared because of his wild look. Unlike Tiny, Buddy has bitten a lot of people. He even bit innocent people who just walk near our house. I don’t understand this dog because he will just stand until the person walking gets near and when the person is few steps away, that is the time he bites it. This dog got us into so much trouble because he likes to fight with other male dogs and he always wins the fight. It is amazing that he is still alive even if he has bitten a lot of times already. That just proves that he does not have rabies.

One time, my uncle decided to take Buddy to their house and he stayed there for a long time. We thought that he will be able to stay there without bringing any heartache to my uncle but we were wrong. Buddy destroyed a lot of things there. He even killed chickens in the neighborhood. And so, they decided to return him to us. Now, Buddy is still with us but not like before, Buddy is now chained because he just bit our new neighbor on the leg but good for us that he was just calm. Now, we make sure that Buddy is chained and we only free him in the night because there are no people walking on the streets during the night. But even if he gave us a lot of heartaches, we still love him and we will still take good care of him as what we did while he was still a puppy.

"My dog Tiny"

When I was in grade four, a classmate of mine gave me a puppy. This puppy was very cute. It was small when I first saw it that’s why I named it Tiny. The puppy was a girl. Her fur is like that of a tiger. And her ears make her wild.

I took good care of this puppy. In fact, she is still living with me. I fed her always and let her drink milk. There were also times that I let her sleep in my room. I really took good care of her until she became bigger and became a mother. I was there during her first time of producing puppies. I can still remember what happened that time. It was early in the morning and I was looking for her because she was nowhere to be found. But then, in our empty pig pen, I saw her head looking outside the hole of the wall. I immediately went near her and shockingly, I saw seven cute puppies. Tiny takes good care of her puppies. In fact, she gets mad when our other animals go near her puppies. She also let her puppies drink milk even during the time when they already have teeth. Now, it is her fifth time of producing puppies. But still, she is not tired of taking care of her puppies. Tiny is a very loving mother. She makes sure that her puppies are secured and she leaves the others if one puppy is missing. She doesn’t let other animals go near her puppies but she allows humans to go near because she trusts humans.

Aside from being a good mother to her puppies, Tiny also has been a great help to us in protecting our house from robbers. Almost all our neighbors have been robbed but us, there were only attempts but these attempts were hindered by our guard dog, Tiny. She really helped in barking those strangers passing by our house. But she never did bit a single person. She only barks on them.

Tiny has also been helpful in killing the rats in our house. She has a good sense of smell. She immediately knows if there are rats hiding nearby and she will look for them and will never stop unless she catches them. Tiny has killed a lot of rats already and the rats that she killed are really enormous rats.

Tiny is a very brave dog! She is not afraid of anything. She is not afraid to die. In fact, there were already so many instances where she almost died because of fighting with other dogs but still she continues on fighting with them. There was also a time when she was hit by a car but it was not that hard. She was still able to walk after that but you can see in her look that she is hurt. But, she really is not afraid to die because today, he continues to cross the busy streets and it seems like she is playing with the cars.

Tiny was indeed a great help to us. She also inspired me in many ways. But now, I have a really big problem. We need to get rid of her because we will transfer to another house and no dogs are allowed in that house and it will be very hard for me to let go of her because she’s already part of my life and she was with me as I walked this world through the years.

"What a UP student is not"

Many people say that UP students are bright, smart, intelligent, and so on. In fact, if they hear the word UP, it seems like they are shocked or something. Maybe, they think UP is the highest school in earth and that UP students are the masters of the universe and that UP students are head of all. That’s a big mistake! UP students are not the head and masters of the world. They are just ordinary students trained well and taught well. Yes, we are a little advanced but that doesn’t make UP students head of other students in other schools. Maybe they just think that way because they don’t know what UP students really are.

UP students for me, are violators. Yes, we are violators. I can say that because many of my schoolmates, including me, violate the school rules. The rule that most UP students violate is the wearing of ID. Inside the campus, students should wear his or her proper uniform and that includes the ID. But as what I have observed, many students don’t wear they ID. It is also a violation if boys don’t comply the proper haircut. But many of the boys in UP don’t comply the proper haircut and that includes me. UP students are also not allowed to bring cell phones. But many of my classmates and schoolmates bring cell phones in the campus. With that, I can say that UP students are not good followers.

Up students are also copiers. I can say that we are copiers because if we have assignments, we don’t do it at home. We do it at school so that we can copy the answers of our classmates. Up students are also dead liners. Yes. It is true. Whenever we have projects, there are just few students who pass their projects ahead. Most of them pass their work during the deadline and some even pass their projects days after the deadline.

Another is that, UP students are not good in all subjects. In fact, many of us in our classroom are struggling to get a high grade in Mathematics. This really is a hard subject for us. There are also students who are struggling in English. Not all UP students are good in speaking English. Many of us don’t know much in speaking English but we are still practicing and we are doing our best in order to develop our speaking skills. There are also many students especially in the second year who are struggling in the subject, Social Science. When I was in elementary, our social science was very easy but now in UP, it is very hard!

Most of all, UP students are not shameful. In short, we have no shame! In fact, one fourth year student before told me that, if you enter UP, you should have no shame. Before, during my elementary years, I am a shameful kind of guy and I am ashamed to show what I’m really is but as I entered UP, it seems like my face doubled! I have slowly developed and got rid of being a turtle hiding in its shell. I now show people what really Aiden is and what my real attitude is.

Now, think about it. Do you think UP students are that good? You better think twice.

A summary of Max Schulman's "Love is a Fallacy"

The narrator in the story is logical, keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute, and astute. He is very brilliant and he was only eighteen. He has a room mate, named Petey, who is dumb. He is an emotional type, unstable, impressionable, and worst of all, a faddist.

One afternoon, the narrator found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face. The narrator told him not to move and that he will call a doctor. But then, Petey mumbled the word raccoon. The narrator asked him what he is trying to say and he said that he needs a raccoon coat. The narrator asked him why he wants a raccoon coat and he said that raccoon coat are not nice but then he replied that he will do anything just to have a raccoon coat. Then, the narrator thought about Polly. Polly is Petey’s girl. The narrator likes this girl. Polly is a beautiful girl, gracious, and had an ease of bearing but not that smart. But he puts into mind that he can teach Polly about the things that she doesn’t know.

Then, the narrator asked Petey if he has a special relationship with Polly but he said that they are not in a relationship but they are meeting sometimes. Then, the narrator got a bag and placed some things in it and he told Petey that he will go home.

When he came back to the dormitory, he brought a raccoon coat for Petey. When Petey saw the coat, he was delighted and was very happy and he immediately asked what the payment is if he will have the coat. Then the narrator told him that he will have the coat if he can have Petey’s girl, Polly. Petey replied that he doesn’t agree with him. But not long after, Petey could not stop his self, he really likes the coat. And so, he agreed with the narrator and they made a deal.

Then, the narrator immediately asked Polly for a date out. First, he took Polly to eat dinner. After eating, Polly said, “Gee, that was a delish dinner,". Then he took her to a movie. "Gee, that was a marvy movie," she said as they left the theater. And then he took her home. "Gee, I had a sensaysh time," she said as she bade the narrator goodnight.

He felt bad and decided to give Polly back to Petey but then he decided to try and teach Polly. He wants to teach Polly how to think. In their next date, he took Polly to the Knoll and Talk. "Oo, terrif," said Polly after hearing that they’re going over to the Knoll and Talk. Polly asked what they will talk about and then he said that they will talk about logic.

"Logic," he said, clearing his throat, "is the science of thinking. Before we can think correctly, we must first learn to recognize the common fallacies of logic. These we will take up tonight."

He taught Polly about fallacies and cited some examples but at first, Polly was confused and did not understand but in the last kind of fallacy, she was able to think and answer correctly. This fallacy was about “Poisoning the Well”.

After that night, the narrator decided to ask Polly’s decision to go steady with him. But in every thing he said, Polly was able to answer him a fallacy that he taught her and he was really impressed. But Polly said that she will not go steady with him. She told him that she will go steady with Petey. Then the narrator compares his self to Petey. He said that he is brilliant and Petey is not but Polly told him that he is poisoning the well. The narrator then asked why she chooses Petey and she said that "He's got a racoon coat."

"Reaction on Max Schulman's Love is a Fallacy"

After reading Max Schulman’s “Love is a Fallacy”, I had many reactions regarding what happened in the story and what the characters did especially on the narrator. According to Max Schulman, love is a fallacy. And for me, love really is a fallacy. It is something that is believed to be truth but is erroneous. Many of us don’t know that there are times when love, which we think to be truth, is erroneous just like what happened in Max Schulman’s “Love is a Fallacy”.

I liked the story especially the last part because the girl, who is Polly, really learned and put in mind what the narrator taught her and she was able to use those information in answering what the narrator said. Her answers were exactly the same as what the narrator taught her. For me, the narrator made a really big mistake. He shouldn’t make the deal with Petey. What he did was really not good. He made a deal with Petey just to get Polly. Even though he knew that Polly was Petey’s girl, he still looked for a way just to get Polly form Petey.

Polly was not that brilliant. Fore me, what the narrator did, which is teaching Polly about Fallacies is good. But I think he should not do it so that he could take Polly from Petey and be his wife. I saw that Polly really took what the narrator taught her heartily and she really placed all the information in her head. Because she really took them heartily, she was able to answer what the narrator told her when he was about to ask her decision to go steady with her. And what she answered really fit what the narrator said. It was like what he taught Polly was coming back to him and he was not able to debate with her because he taught Polly to think and answer those kind of things.

I really like the last part especially the part when Polly made her decision to go steady with Petey. The narrator had nothing much to say but to compare his self from Petey. He said that he is more brilliant than Petey and that Petey is dull. But Polly told him what he taught her, which is “Poisoning the Well”. He was indeed poisoning the well. He was destroying Petey’s reputation just to have Polly but she still chose to go steady with Petey. And that’s the part when the narrator was really mad at Petey and he was saying words against Petey. Then the narrator asked Polly why he chooses Petey and she answered that she liked him because he has a raccoon coat. And it is sort of hurting because he was the one who gave Petey the raccoon coat when they two made a deal and it feels bad for the narrator because he really did a great mistake and it was his entire fault. If only he did not long to take Polly from Petey, what happened might not happen and he might still have a chance to go steady with Polly.

"Our Pets"

We had a lot of pets before. But now, we only have dogs and cats because the others are already dead. The pets that we had before are chickens, pigs, goats, and fishes but now we only have three adult dogs and two cats.

Before, we had a lot of chickens in our backyard. We started from few chicks and they grew up and produced new chicks and again they grew up and produced another batch of chicks. We had chickens that are colored gray, orange, white, black, and others. But some of them died because of rats and others are already eaten by us.

We also had two goats. They were male and female. We were hoping that they would produce baby goats but unfortunately, the male goat died because of a certain illness that’s why we sold the other to the eatery near our house and they cooked it and sold it.

We also had a lot of fishes before. We had fishes colored orange, white, yellow, red, and others. But they one by one died until the only one left is the janitor fish and we still placed it in the aquarium and we didn’t buy new fishes because we were afraid that what happened might happen again to our new fishes. But not long after, the janitor fish died.

We also had two pigs before. They were all female pigs. We were also hoping that they could produce new pigs but the babies were premature because the mother pig was very scared of the fireworks because it was Christmas that time. Many of the baby piglets came out dead and there were some who were alive. But not long after, they died until only one piglet was left. When the night came, when the mother pig was sleeping, she accidentally rolled over the baby piglet and so it died. Because they didn’t produce any babies, we just decided to cook them and sell some of their parts.

We also have many pet dogs. Our very first pet dog was Bogs. But he is already dead right now. Next to Bogs, we had Tiny. Unlike the pigs and the goats, Tiny bore a lot of puppies and I think she bore more or less five generations of puppies. One of her first puppies, Buddy, is still here with us right now. Next to Buddy, we had a lot of puppies and some of them died and some were given away. Now, the only dogs that are with us are Tiny, Buddy, Razor, and two puppies.

We also had many cats before. But now, we only have two. We also had many kittens before but most of them died because they don’t have any mother because we just found them by the road. The others died because they were run over by a car. And some died because of sickness. Our cats never produced any kittens but we had a lot of them because they just came into our house and lived with us the rest of their lives.

These pets have special memories to me and I will never forget them because I had a hard time taking care of them because I was assigned to feed them every morning and every night.

M.C.R. Songs

I really like the songs of the band “My Chemical Romance”. Their songs are really cool and it rocks my head off! The first song that I heard from them is the song entitled “Ghost of You”. I first heard this song when I still didn’t know about the band My Chemical Romance. The next song that I heard from them is the song that is now popular, “Welcome to the Black Parade”. This song really rocks! At the first part of the song, the tune is not so fast but when it reaches the part near the chorus, the tune will now be fast and everything’s rocking. I like the song because it is very noisy and I also like its tune. The video of the song is also way cool! The props, background, parade, and setting makes the video cool. I also like their faces in the video because of their hair especially Gerard’s hair which is colored white and also Bob’s hair which is emo.

If you don’t know about the lyrics of the song, it goes like this,

“We'll carry on, we’ll carry on and though you're dead and gone believe me your memory will carry on we’ll carry on until my heart I can't contain it the anthem won't explain it”

The next song that I heard from them is the song entitled “Helena”. This song also rocks! Just like the song “Welcome to the Black Parade”, at first, the tune of the song is slow but then it becomes fast near the chorus part. I like the tune of this song and I also like the video especially during the chorus part because the people In the chapel rises up together and sings the chorus. I also like the part when they danced and the part when they carried the coffin. Gerard’s face was also cool in this video because his hair is still long. I also liked Bob in the video because he is still fat in the and he is cute if he is fat.

Again, if you don’t know the lyrics of this song, it goes like this,

“What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight”

The next song that I heard from them is their song entitled “Famous Last Words”. This song is my favorite among all their songs. Today, this song is popular and it really rocks! I like the tune of this song. I also like the video. It is really cool! The fire effects make the video cool and I also like the setting which is on the sand. I also like their faces in the video especially Gerard’s face because it is very funny and he really looks like a clown. I also like the chorus because it says that he is not afraid to live and he’s not afraid to be alone in his journey around the world.


Again, if you don’t know the lyrics of this song, it goes like this,

I am not afraid to keep on living.I am not afraid to walk this world alone.Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiving.Nothing you can say could stop me going home.

"The House I will Never Forget"

We, my family and I, are currently residing at our house in Happy Valley. We don’t own the house. We are just renting it from a family friend. The house is really nice and big. It’s very old that’s why the color is not that good and there are some holes on the walls, roof, and other parts. But it is a good place to dwell in. I am very relaxed when I’m inside that house.

We lived in this house since year two thousand one. So, we lived here for almost six years already and many things happened to us as we lived in this house for almost six years. But I am very sad hearing what my parents said that we will transfer to another house near to where they work because housing is free for those who are employed there. It is really hard for me to leave this house because we’ve stayed here for almost six years and we had many happenings and experiences in this house. If the time for us to transfer comes, I’m sure that it will take me lot of time to adjust.

One thing that I will not forget in this house is the animals and pets that we raised. We really had many animals before but many of them are already dead and the sad thing is that we buried some of them at the backyard of this house and we can’t bring them to our new house. The animals that are buried there are dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, chickens, goat and others. Before, we had many chickens in our backyard and also two pigs but now, they are all dead but I can still remember them because of this house. We also had two goats but the other one died and we sold the other to the eatery near our house. We also had many dogs before and now, we only have three adults and two puppies. Our very first pet dog in that house was Bogs. He lived with us for a very long time but he came into a time that he is already full of wounds because of his oldness that’s why we called the dog pound and let them take him. But it was hard for me seeing him taken by the pound but it is harder to see if we let him suffer. His memory will always stay in that house.

The other things that I can’t forget from this house are the fruit-bearing trees that we have. We have many trees in this house. These trees are namely, coconut tree, guava tree, tambis tree, tamarind, and others. We harvested a lot of fruits from these trees especially the tamarind. We also harvested many guavas from our guava tree and we even made “guava jam” before.

The other thing that I can’t forget from this house is that during start of classes, the weather is not that good because it always rain and our house is always flooded that time and the water can get as high as our knees. It is still fresh in my memory the time when the water came inside our house one summer and we were all in a hurry putting our things up the tables, and other high places so that they don’t get wet. I also remember the time when the water level outside our house was higher than our knees. Our dogs were very happy that time swimming in the muddy waters.

I had so many experiences in that house and it is really very hard for me to leave the house and transfer to another because it seems like my heart belongs to that house and it is already part of my life.

_sweetCHILI

_sweetCHILI is my very first character in the game called “Ran Online”. He is a member of the sword section. In short, he is a swordsman. I created him some months after the beginning of classes in the year 2006. Actually, I had many two characters before _sweetCHILI but I deleted them because there were some mistakes in their stats. After deleting them, _sweetCHILI was then born.

If you wonder why I named this character _sweetCHILI, it is because sweetchili is one of my favorite foods. I always eat sweetchili and I often use all my money just to buy this delicious food. Back to my character, he is under the Sacred Gate Campus. By the way, he is in the server named ALAB. _sweetCHILI is a swordsman that is in power type. He was one of my inspirations before and I always think of him every time and everywhere. _sweetCHILI looks cool and handsome. His hair is colored red and his face looks really mad. I was very addicted to this character before but then I stopped playing computer games and almost forgot about him.

Because I stopped playing Ran with _sweetCHILI, he did not really reach a very high level. He is only in level sixty seven. He is now wearing a complete shogun set and is using a weapon for swordsmen which are in power type, blade. The blade that he’s using is called “Broadblade”. The blade has the element poison. The blade also looks nice and the design is also nice.

Before I stopped playing with _sweetCHILI, I often joined parties and leveled up at the “Trading Hole”. But before you can enter the trading hole, you need to accomplish the quest with the “corrupted hound”. And I successfully accomplished that quest. Honestly, it took me several times repeating the quest because _sweetCHILI always died but then after several tries, I was still able to finish the quest and entered the so-called “Trading Hole”.

As what I’ve said, _sweetCHILI is only in level sixty seven. But it is very fortunate for him to reach level sixty seven because in that level, a new skill will be learned which is the “Jumping Slash”. The skill enables _sweetCHILI to jump and slash its enemies. I really like this skill especially when _sweetCHILI jumps. But of course, it is not the only skill that _sweetCHILI has. He also has the skills X-strike, Dual Slash, Kick Slash, and Bloodlust. His first skill, which is X-strike enables him to strike his enemies hitting many target quantities. His second skill, which is Dual Slash, enables him to strike and slash his enemies. His third skill, which is Kick Slash enables him to kick and slash his enemies and his other skill, which his bloodlust is a buff and is very useful for him but he can only use this buff skill for his self.

I will never forget _sweetCHILI and he will stay in my mind forever because he was ones my inspiration and he also helped me in some ways like making me happy when I have problems and curing my sadness when I am lonely.

Ran Online

Ran Online is one of my favorite games. I really like this game because it is fun and I really like the effects of the skills. It is a nice game to play and I like the faces of the characters because they look like real people.

Ran Online is a game about three schools or campuses namely Sacred Gate, Mystic Peak, and Phoenix Campus. These three schools train students to fight against monsters and other evil creatures around the campus and even in other maps of the game. The students that are trained are classified into four classes. These classes are the Brawler class, Swordsman, Archer and Shaman. Brawlers can use their hands and feet in fighting and they use Gauntlets for their hands. The Swordsmen use either a blade or a sword depending if he is intelligence type, power type, or dexterity type. The archers use bows to fight their enemies while the Shaman casts magic and support characters by their healing and buff spells.

The enemies of this game are monsters. Some of them are the Hooligans, Bandits, Onslaughts, Street Junkies, Punks, Gangsters, Blood Hunters, and many more! I really like the looks of the monsters because they look like real. All the maps of the game has monsters but there are some monsters that are not in other schools.

Players can undergo quest in order to attain gold, experience or better items. Quests really help the characters a lot! It does not only give gold but also experience and some items like gloves, rings, and others. Quests also make characters attain life points which are needed by the characters. Life points also help the characters a lot.

Players can not only fight monsters. They can duel with other characters whether high level or not. In the dueling, characters don’t lose and gain experience. It is just a way of testing the skills and proving your strength.

One of the reasons why I like this game is because of the weapons. I really like the weapons in this game and I like its looks especially the swords and blades of the Swordsmen which are enormous. Swords and Blades are my favorite items in this game because they are big and their designs are nice. Among the blades and swords, I like blades better because of their nice designs and the structure is also nice. I also like the bows especially the large ones because they also look nice and cool. But I like the weapons of the swordsmen better than the weapons of the archer.

For gaining much experience, it is better to join parties than working alone because in parties, the experience that every member gets from every monster killed is shared by the party members. Parties can only contain eight members and the most important and most needed member of parties is the shaman because the shaman is the one who heals the lives of the members and they also give buffs which are very helpful for the other members. It is also needed that parties have lurers or the ones who lure monsters.

To keep on leveling, continue to join parties and get some quests and other stuffs in order to attain much experience.
