Judgement of Paris
Photo from the-toast-net

             For me, the three goddess are full of themselves. They fought over an apple to prove that one of them is the most beautiful goddess which is funny because who would have thought that it would happened. Mortals may think that their issue is ridiculous or shallow. And let's not forget Zeus who decided not to get involved with it (which I believe its the smartest thing he ever said or did). Paris a fool for love. He will do everything for Helen which is also ridiculous.


Iliad

                 King Agamemnon is insane. First, he captured the daughter of the priest but good thing with the help of Apollo, he eventually agrees. Second, he wants to take Briseis, Achiless' girlfriend and successfully got her. It clearly shows that just like Paris, King Agamemnon is also a fool for love but is it really for love? Or for something else? Anyway, the king is stupid to let go or to lose their greatest warrior. Achilles has this effect on everyone, everyone is afraid of him.

                   Achilles went furious because after killing Hektor, he continued to abused the dead body in brutal ways. I understand that he's emotionally unstable in the moment because he gave up his girlfriend to Agamemnon his friend died but that doesn't mean that its right to torture the dead body. Just like the gods, I didn't like the things he did on the dead body. I admire his loyalty but he successfully killed Hektor, isn't that already enough?

                   I like how calmly King Priam is, because other kings might not handle the situation well, other kings might declare another war because of the hatred and the grief that they are feeling. For me, the king completely understands why Achilles did that. He came unarmed and they had a dinner which is great because it means that the war isn't there anymore.

Panghuhusga

Bakit Tayo Nanghuhusga?             Ang paghuhusga ay isa sa mga hindi magagandang asal ng isang tao. Sa pagkakaalam ko, tayo mga Pilipino ay mahilig manghusga sa kapwa nating Pilipino, nakakalungkot kasi imbis magtulungan tayo ay sinisira natin ang isa’t – isa. Lahat tayo ay may kanya-kanyang reaksyon o opinyon tungkol sa isang pangyayari, bagay o tao at hindi natin kayang itago ang mga iyon. Minsan kasi, nadadala tayo sa ating mga emosyon kaya nagkaroon ng di pagkaunawaan.             Bakit ba tayo mahilig manghusga sa kapwa natin? Bakit hindi ito kailan man mawawala kung alam naman nating lahat na hindi ito maganda? Iyan ang mga tanong na tumatakbo sa aking isipan habang nag-iisip kung anong isusulat ko rito. Umiiral ang panghuhusga dito sa mundo dahil nadadala tayo sa mga iba’t-ibang emosyon o sa mga sinasabi ng ibang tao. Lahat tayo mayroon ng mga opinyon sa lahat...

Science: Turkey's Earthquake Preparedness Plan Turkey, a country which is located in South-West Asia, and also in South-East Europe (European Map-wise), is a country that is very prone to Natural Disasters and Calamities since, Earthquake-wise, it is located in the Northern Anatolian Fault, one of the strongest known fault-lines in the world, that certain fault-line is in the same family of fault-lines as the San Andrea's Fault, since they are entirely similar in almost all ways. Tsunami's after Earthquakes is naturally inevitable in the country since the northern region of the country has the Black Sea directly infront of them, and this body of water is very large too, making them prone to tsunami's. But thankfully, Turkey has the Turkey National Disaster Response, which is the national disaster response agency of Turkey, that certain agency is very responsive, technically satisfactory to the citizens all-over Turkey. They also have disaster risk manageme...

A Penny For Your Thoughts?

Background Photo From: Pinterest  Edited by: Gianne Andrea H. Garcia  My Thoughts  According to the Merriam-Webster, Happiness is a state of well-being and contentment (joy). But for me, happiness is based on people, things, places, thoughts, and events. It’s there but the next thing you know, the feeling’s gone. If I were to choose between Joy and Happiness, I would definitely choose Joy, because Joy is there when you make peace with who you are, what you are and why you are. It is more consistent than Happiness. But don’t get me wrong, Joy and Happiness are both wonderful feelings to experience.             In everything that you do, there are things that you need to learn. And for this poem, the lessons that I need to learn which are: thou shall not compare myself to others, to have faith in myself, thou shall not surrender, always be contented, and lastly choose to be happy. Honestly, I don’t...
