Romeo and Juliet broke my heart
August 9, 2010“Romeo” and “Juliet” two names that seems to be inseprable. Shakespeare is genuis(is he not?) because only a genius can make a reel fictional character real. Many do believe that Romeo and Juliet were real, that once upon a time in Verona there was a girl named Juliet who fell in love with a boy named Romeo and.. yeah.. they both die in the end. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ has indeed a good story, may be one of the best literary masterpiece ever written. But what I don’t understand is.. why is their story an epitome of a great love story? Seriously? They were too young. Juliet was if I’m not mistaken 13 and eventhough Romeo’s age wasn’t mentioned it’s quite assumable that it is close to Juliet’s age. Okay, let’s not go with the whole age doesn’t matter thing. My point here is.. they’re still at puberty. How will we know if it’s really true love or it’s just the hormones. Hormones can make you act based on pure urge and impulses. And another thing, in the end they both die which is heartbreaking! Maybe it’s just me but would you not prefer a happy ending than a tragic one? But if you’ll look in another way.. Romeo and Juliet probably will not be as memorable as it is now if they had a happy ending.
and the unexpected happened
April 8, 2010As i’d mention before, we had our retreat last monday until the day after that. I was freaking out the other day ‘coz I really didn’t want to go but you know what, I’m glad I did. Even though the retreat wasn’t the go-for-the-banal-state, it was memorable. The first few sessions were boring and corny but the open forum aka heart-to-heart part was a real tear jerker! It feels good to hear from other people what they think about you and also to know that they appreciate you and thankful for the things you do to them.
The retreat was supposed to focus on goals, breaking barriers, setting bridges.. but at the end of the retreat, I wasn’t enlightened on things like that but instead I was/became thankful.. grateful for everything that happened to me, to my friends, classmates.. between everyone of us. If I was given a chance to change something or choose who my classmate would be.. I wouldn’t change a single thing and I wouldn’t add or unadd any one. I know it sounds corny but it’s true. I couldn’t ask for anything more.. those people, my classmates, whom I have been with for the past four years had touched, changed, transform me to who I am right now–the best version of my self.
In summary, the whole retreat was an experience. It was an experience not only will I remember for the next few years but an experience that will be stuck inside me for a lifetime. And thanks to my classmates and especially to these people..
..for making retreat more special and exciting for me.
