A Million Thanks Guys...

I couldn't say more, but Thank You... You've been really good students in Literature. If only I could all give you a grade of 1.0, I already did! I hope you'll never stop believing in the power of Literature in changing your life and in bringing out the best persons out of you...

Faith is the only thing we can have.

I remember what Albert Einstein said,

"There are only two ways to live.. one is as though nothing is a miracle .. the other is as if everything is."

We people only live in two ways and that is believing in miracles or having faith with God. I know that every human believe in faith to God. As we tackled English Literature, I encountered many poems written by different poets. Other poetry was already familiar to me but then others were not. The poem that give me an impact to my heart was "On His Blindness" by John Milton. The poem is well-written. Even though there are words that are unfamiliar and hard to understand but still the message of the poem was there because you can easily gets the message of John Milton. The poem talks about faith and hope of a person. We all know that nobody's perfect. Only God is perfect. Everyone can relate to the poem because the writer itself is not perfect like everybody. The author shows that he don't loose hope even though he is not perfect. As a human, I already faced many problems and now I am facing another problem in my life because one of the special important in my life was already dead. Now, I need to face my life without her. Faith and hope are the only things I can gave right now. Faith will be my guiding light through the darkness I am facing right now. God give me this problem because He knows that I can faced it. I'll just continue praying and believing in myself that God is always there to guide me.

P-oems O-f E-very M-ankind

Isn't it wonderful to write our feelings and emotions through poetry?... We can tell what we want to tell with others without any limitations, we can share our insights on every situations, we can talk to anyone even to ourselves through writings and we can be as we wanted to be.. At first, poetry seems to be a little bit boring to me because honestly speaking, some of the poems that I've read is I think... hard to comprehend even hard to beleive because you always have to read beyond the lines. Ika nga nila, "Ang hirap arukin", tama naman 'di ba?... But as the days past of having been studied some of the most famous poems in the world, I realized how colorful and unique poetry is...I really inspired to the work of John Milton entitled,"on His Blindness", I love how this poem was written, how it is being interpreted, and what is the real message behind those words. It struck my heart because it says that even though we have lots of problems in our life' God is always thereto help and guide us through ups and downs. He gave us problems not to test our capabilities but to teach us how to be strong enough to face the different hindrances that life was offering. I beleive that through this poem, God is always good. as Santino's always qouted "Wag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa andiyan lang si Bro".

There are lots of moments in our lives that we feel vanished, abandoned and ignored especially during the venture. As one of the student of world literature I like the poem entitled "On His Blindness" by John Milton which expressed his grief and misfortune yet still coupled with hope. Sometimes I asked God why He made my life desperate because of the problems and challenges yet I am not loosing hope but gain more faith on Hos as one of his creation. Every year counts, every hour is important, every minute is valuable and every second giver an informing day.

Sonnet 18 posted by *JAZMIN PADERES*

The poetry that i like the most is the SONNET 18. It describes the beauty like the everlasting love that never dies, though it fades still the beauty is there. Love is how it use words to compare beauty to a summers day. How he focus to only one thought and how the poems idea flow and sooth to the mind. How the beauty shines and lost it's glow. At first it was hard for me to comprehend, I thought it was about love, I was wrong because it was beauty.

True Love

I feel in-love when I read the poem entitled "A Red Red Rose" by Robert Burns. It is one if the best known romantic poems. In this poem, it tells that if you truely love a person you will do everything in the name of love. You will take and face all the risks just for your loved one and the love you'll give to someone will surely last forever. You will love that person no matter what happens. Loving someone and being loved is the happiest feeling you'll ever feel. It is really good to feel in-love especially if it is true love. You'll know if you love a person without anything in return and true love is not selfish. I realized, instead it is a love that will last forever. So true love can also wait for eternity.

Grow Old With You...

Usually, I got really inspired and excited whenever the topic is about LOVE. But I realized that, when there are so many things you wanted to write you'd end up with a blank paper. I couldn't find the right words to express how I felt by the time I read Sonnet 116. For me, Shakespeare just gave the definition of love perfectly. And thinking really made me tired and irritated so I turned on the radio. ( Loves na love parin kita, kahit bungi bungi ka na, para sa akin ikaw parin, ang pinakagwapong papa, O kay sarap isipin, Kasama kang tumanda...) I smiled while singing this line. I finally got the inspiration to write.

I kept thinking about the mystery of love, seeing old couples still deeply in love with each other could make me sigh, wishing and praying that I, too could find someone whom I could start my forever with. A dose of love could make you high, more than any drugs could do. Love could make you do things that are beyond your imagination. It could make you numb, could make you dumb, and could make you the most stupid person that ever lives. It could inspire you, and make you sing even you are out of tune; it could turned a devil into an angel or vice versa. And as we grow old, we would realize that it is true love that never fades, like Shakespeare said on his Sonnet 116, "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom". One thing is for sure, we cant live without love, because Love is God...
