Seeing Emily

Have you ever encountered a book written in verses? I do. The book is entitled Seeing Emily. It was written by Joyce Lee Wong. The author used free verses in order for her to deliver her piece. Actually, it is my first time to encounter such work. When I saw the book, I did not think twice to buy it, because I think there are only a few authors who write using verses. Hope that you can read or can encounter such works in the future.

I found this article on the internet entitled "The Sleep Equation", and this quote caught my attention: "School, studying, social life... the college student's struggle for sleep". I found it interesting to read; Literally, it is what we feel right now, we struggle for sleep.

The finishing touch

The finishing touch is the best part of doing or creating something. This is the part which gives the best feeling for artists finishing their obra maestra.

Also, on our final essay, our professor said that it is essential to check our essay thoroughly for certain errors or irrelevant ideas.

I found this site which can help us for our checking and finishing touches:

Essay Writing

My topic for my final essay is Making Friends In College. I looked for a site that will help me in making my essay. Upon looking, i saw a meaning of the word essay. It says that an essay is a work where in you will show others how you think. I know that the true purpose of our essay writing in English 1 is to show our learned skills from the said subject. I wish good luck to all of us.

Passion or Commitment?

Passion and commitment are two of the important ingredients needed for a  relationship to last. Absence of either will result to a short-term or unsatisfying relationship. But what exactly is the difference between the two and how one alone is not enough to have a long-lasting relationship? Passion is the physical relationship while commitment is the cognitive counterpart of it . Passion happens in the start of the relationship and usually simmers as time goes by. On the other hand, commitment makes the bond stronger when passion starts to fade. Passion alone cannot guarantee a long-lasting union as commitment cannot assure the beginning  of a relationship.

Life is like a game

Life is just like a game, may it be sports or in any field. I said so because in a game, there are many obstacles that hinders us from winning, and there are things that may come in handy for our victory. Life has its own troubles and challenges set for each and everyone of us. It is in our control on how we are to face it, and try to get a solution. Another thing that is similar between these two concepts is that when we are able to be triumphant, we rejoice so much, and we enjoy every bit of success. I hope that all of us will have a strong personality, in which we will never give up on things around us. :)
