I was living on a sweet dream, oh a beautiful nightmare

Hi ! I’m Sica, a person who is fond of sleeping. I don’t consider SLEEP as a hobby or even a need but instead a tunnel towards a beautiful wonderland.  My life is full of ennui and my dreams the only place where I can be talkative or even  garrulous  if I want. I can be affluent even for a short period of time. I can be a connoisseur chef and cook magnificent masterpieces like parfait,  canape and many more. I can have superfluous things that I don’t have here in the real world.
(▰˘◡˘▰)

If I will be giver a chance to live in my dream I sure will, because there I can vociferate all the things that I have inside. I know that I am a very taciturn person and also a coy one that is why I can’t get along with others. A rapport between me and anyone else in this world is  impossible to exist, event to those consanguineous people around me. I also don’t acquiesce to anything and to anyone. My personality was oh so wrong.
o(╥﹏╥)o

One Sunday morning I woke up early, so I was so disappointed because I lacked some sleep. I went straight to the cupboard and grabbed a coupe. I searched for food like a sleuth searching for clues. I failed so I decided to guzzle first with som milk I found inside the fridge. My mother who was busy cleaning our chandelier called me. She said that I was the assignee to clean our grungy house while they were away. I decided to come with them that finish that household chore. A you can see I am a very fainéant person too. After fixing my weird coiffure, we went straight to our destination which was to the church. After the mass I realized that I was so stupid for leaving an enow life. There was no reason for me to do piffle things all these years. My life was liked resuscitated, and from now on I will try my best to be a more punctilious person.

This is the fandom where I belong

There is a group called Girls generation

that first caught my attention

it first started with an admiration

that soon led to an addiction

I like to call myself a S♥NE

I consider the PINK OCEAN as my home

I really don’t know what their lyrics are trying to say

but the melody is enough to complete my day

I admire the way they sing

I admire the way they dance

the power of 9 is merely the source

of my existence and force

The maknae, A prankster and a great dancer

A princess, a mushroom, a dorky leader

An alligator, a shikshin, and an aegyo master 

Those nine girls will be in my heart forever.

 

§  S♥NE is girlsgeneration fans/fanclub name.

Their color is hot pink.SNSD themselves are also called SOSHI/Girls generation or GG. PINK OCEAN refers to the pink lightsticks in the audience that fans put on when SNSD if performing and even in their concerts. Since the only thing you could see in the crowd is the color pink from the lightsticks its called PINK OCEAN

§  They are composed of nine members 

Seohyun- she is the “Maknae” ( a Korean term for youngest)

Yuri- she like playing pranks on other members

Hyoyeon- she is the “dancing queen” of the group

Tiffany- she was called mushroom because she miss-pronounced her title "Boseuk Boda Bitnaneun" (Brighter Than Mushroom), she pronounced it as Boseut (mushroom) rather than Boseuk (gems). So the fans called her mushroom since then. She even recieved tons of mushroom from the fans

Jessica- she is considered as an ice princess because of her cold personality

Yoona- she is the face of the group and has that “alligator like” laugh

Taeyeon- she is the leader since she was the oldest and also a very dorky one

Sooyoung- she is a “shikshin” (a Korean word for a person who eats so much) and also the tallest member

Sunny- the shortest member and called as the “aegyo master”  (aegyo is like when a girl, or boy, acts in a cute manner)

Ecological crisis: Can something still be done?

Everything has its own end, as well as our earth; the destruction of our environment is now widely known. So many wake up calls had been already made but…guess what still nothing happens. The nature itself had alarmed us with the possibilities that might or will happen in the future if we continue these misbehaviors. The actions made were still not enough.

For me it is still not too late for remedies. There is hope as long as we have the will to live. The preventive actions of some organizations were quite good but we still need more effort and unity in every step of the way. We need to dedicate more for our mother nature. Sacrifice is also one of the key to success.

I think our earth will come to its end someday as well as other living things. In the other hand we can still elongate its life by simply doing “GREEN” practices. Especially those young people because we are the ones who were next in line.

 And because I love our environment so much I have tips on how to save it ♥      

HOME

1. STOP Vampire Electricity Leaching is responsible for 10% of your electric bill. Keep that 10% for yourself by unplugging unused appliances and electronics when not in use (ie: toasters, hairdryers, printers, electric toothbrushes, dust busters, cell phone chargers, coffee grinders, etc).

BATHROOM

2. Shorten your Showers. Every minute spent in the shower wastes approx 2.5 gallons of water. Cut your showers down from 10 minutes to the recommended 4 and cut your monthly water waste from 750 gallons to 300 gallons. Don’t forget that using less water means spending less on your water bill! 

5. Store Leftovers in Glass Containers. About 48 million tons of food is tossed each year. It is estimated that as much as $31 billion worth of perfectly good food finds its way to landfills instead of your (and every other American’s) stomach. Boxing leftovers in glass (instead of plastic) containers will help minimize the waste and save money.

LAUNDRY ROOM

6. Wash only full loads of laundry to save between 300 and 800 gallons of water a month.

YARD

7. Plant Trees or Support Tree Planting. One single mature tree can absorb as much as 48 lbs of carbon dioxide each year and release enough clean oxygen into the atmosphere to sustain two people for a lifetime. 

GYM

8. Green your Exercise Routine. You actually burn more calories and save electricity by getting off the treadmill and taking your workout outside thanks to natural (even if minimal) inclines and declines. More than changing your angle, when you are on the treadmill you have an electrically propelled belt pushing you forward. No treadmill but want to workout inside? Do a QuickieWorkout in Bed ! Outside, you’ve got no belt so you have to work harder for every step. Just think of all of the money you will save by cancelling your gym membership! 

OFFICE

9. Save Paper-The average office employee goes through 10,000 sheets of paper a year- the same amount of paper that one tree produces. If you have an office of 200 employees, there’s a good chance your company kills 200 trees a year. Save virgin paper by choosing recycled stock, them implement these printing procedures: 10. *$-Decrease your Margins. You don’t need an empty inch and a half on either side of a document. For multiple page documents, decreasing your margins will reduce your page count and save paper.

EXTRA CREDIT

10.CELEBRATE Earth Day by Drinking Organic Wine! According to a recently released report, wine and table grapes are charged with expending more agricultural chemicals (nearly 60 million pounds per year) than any other crop in California. Need even more reason to drink organic? Organic wine has fewer sulfates in the red wine- which translates to less wine headaches.

A comic relief ending of Romeo and Juliet

      In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for Romeo and Juliet. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the young star-crossed lovers to grow up quickly — and fate causes them to commit suicide in despair. Contrast and conflict are running themes throughout Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet — one of the Bard's most popular romantic tragedies. But what will happen if the ending of this play will be the total opposite?

      I may not be as legendary or great as Shakespeare when it comes to writing but I will try to manipulate the story to give it a funny ending. I will start the twist with the scene Romeo bought a poison. The apothecary was so nice that he can’t let a young lad die so he will just give Romeo a bottle of water without Romeo knowing about this he continues on. On the Capulet tomb he will encounter Paris but he will pretend as a maintenance staff and tells a lie that he was there for a cleaning service.So Paris will go away, on his way home he realizes that he can still marry some other woman keeping in mind that he is masculine and handsome enough. While Romeo was there he told his final words and drunk all the poison. After few minutes he wondered why he was still alive and sobs. At that moment Juliet awakened and was so glad to find Romeo beside her. They were so happy and hugged each other.

      Friar Lawrence came and was so surprised. Then the Capulets came in crying they were so surprised with what they saw, they were so angry with Romeo at that time but Friar Lawrence came up with an idea he invented a very nice story telling that Romeo was the one who revived Juliet, because of too much happiness the Capulet thanked Romeo for bringing their only child back to life. The feud ended and as a reward they forced Juliet to marry Romeo not knowing that they were really in love with each other.

That was my own version of ending Romeo and Juliet in Comic Relief style.

Romeo and Juliet 

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of playwright William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately unite their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Its plot is based on an Italian tale.

For me the story was very cothurnus. Even though I already heard the story because of its popularity I was still curious until the day I read the book. I was thinking if why Romeo and Juliet would meet when their families were having a feud. Questions like why would they brutally kill their selves were also popping out of my mind. But when I finished reading I realized that Shakespeare was a really great playwright and has natural skills for giving extraordinary twists.
 

  

Happy endings are so usual but that is what I prefer so If I would change some parts in “Act five, Scene three",   I will let Romeo come a little later just in time for Juliet’s awakening, but Paris will also be there so he will accuse Juliet of infidelity that will lead to a blood shedding fight. Then Friar Lawrence will arrive seeing a lifeless Paris and a gawked couple. After that the Capulets and  the Montagues will come and they will be more envious with each other. They will separate Romeo and Juliet. The Capulets will pursue Paris and Juliet’s marriage and that will lead the couple to plan an elopement. They will have children but their families were still not accepting their love for each other.

The kind of ending that I like was not that buoyant at all It was also not that quaint. For me I would enjoy story more if Romeo and Juliet could endure their love.  Regardless of the ending still I will choose Romeo and Juliet as the most unique love story that I ever read.  Therefore I salute William Shakespeare for having a wonderful creation that tells us Don’t make rash decisions. The second lesson is: Think through decisions. The third lesson is: Young love or infatuation is not a good reason to kill yourself. Also that pride will not bring you anything good and that communication is very important.

IMPORTANT INSPIRATIONS

Family is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence. In most societies it is the principal institution for the socialization of children. Anthropologists most generally classify family organization as matrilocal but for me family means love and deeper. I am the kind of person that makes of fun of almost everything under the sun but not with my family. My beloved lineage is my second priority next to God. They are one of the reasons why I pursue life here on earth.

Having a family is one of the happiest things that you will experience in your life. The presence of a family makes a person complete spiritually, mentally and physically and more. I think no one in this can imagine a life without a any family. Family members are also those who educate you on how to be a good person. Without them it will be hard to live a life in this playful world.  

 For me an ideal family is the one that has understanding members and loves each other. Another is a god fearing family. A family that practices good education, understanding, sharing and peace, simple life and good character is also ideal. Another feature would be a mom and a dad both supportive and playing active roles in their children’s life both physical and mentally able to provide for the family. Most of all every member should be heard and respected for what they are.

My strength, my hero

            Like what Bartrand Hubbard said “I've had a hard life, but my hardships are nothing against the hardships that my father went through in order to get me to where I started.” I also believe that the experience that I have now are nothing compared to my father’s. So every time he has pieces of advices I treasure it a lot because I know that he knows that it’s for my own good.

            When I am already a grownup its time for my father to enjoy life, because I promised myself that, at it’s the right time to repay the sacrifice and love they had poured into me. I think growing up the way my parents like would be the best gift that I can give to my father and I can start that by simply studying hard. I will not forget that because that promise was already on my mind since the day I started schooling.

            The only request that I asked him was to trust me in simple things and decisions that I do since I’m a high school student now. Hearing his simple compliments and satisfaction on simple achievements that I can give makes my effort and hard work worth it.  He also does not need to be persuaded about anything because most of the time he knows the right thing to do. He also does not refuse on things as long as it’s for our good. I just remind him often that praying helps a lot.

            “I will study hard” that’s what I always tell him and I will really force myself to  fulfill that promise until the time that I graduate,

                                       ( my father when he was still working here in the Philippines )

                                                             *sorry for the poor quality* 

   (  YIE~ this song reminds me of my father because I can relate the experience and memories that I encountered with my father especially at his departure to go abroad. )
