Dear future me,

          I haven’t really got the idea of writing you a letter but today, I saw a post on Facebook saying: In their 5th grade, they make a letter for their 20 year old selves. So I think it would make sense if I write you one too. I bet you’re thinking that this letter is a bit NOT YOU. That’s because you have changed. You've become mature and I would really miss the 14 year old you. You read this letter as a different person but I know you know that the person who wrote this is the same. You just feel like she’s different because of the way she speaks.

          You might found this letter somewhere else so you took time to read this. I just want to say, how are you? Do you already have a boyfriend? Have you met Henry Barrington? Have you met Libera? Have you finished schooling? Did you improved your math skills? Are there any flying cars in 2020? Are Time Machines already invented? Have you survived World War III? Is it the end of the world? Are you dead? Are there changes in your life? Are you rich?

          As far as I can remember, you always love dreaming of the future you! But in the ages 30+ as well. You are 20 today and getting ready for the 30 year old you although it’s 10 more years away.

          If ever you have life complications in 2020, always keep in mind that you can do it! Why can you do it? Because you survived 20 years of living! I’ll give you a medal if you survive 2020. (If I still can)

          I awfully miss the 14 year old you. If you could have the chance to write a letter to the 14 year old you and you could let her read it, what would you say? Are you proud of me? Do you still like me? I LOVE YOU KATE.

Sincerely,
Kate Borlasa



P.S. Here is a picture of your Libera boys just in case you’re not a fan anymore. These boys might have their own girlfriends now and it’s probably not you!

Martines by Anna Felicia Sanchez (Contextual Analysis by Kate Borlasa)

Summary Anna Felicia Sanchez’ short horror story starts with an opening anecdote of Richard Servacio’s father telling a myth of a secret to immortality that “kept the land from drying, from crumbling under the weather of a world that had lost its way along its own axis. With this knowledge, the rest of the land could be saved from drowning in the color of blood, there would be no need for the shadows of things long gone… there would be life…” and so the story continues with Richard and his cousin, Totoy, driving a “grimy” owner-type jeep on the way to an isolated forest – which was once a village – in the jungles of Batangas. Richard, who was a 25-year-old corporate speech trainer suffering from a quarter-life crisis – after being told a “lousy” motivational speaker by his boss for the fifth time. Because of this, he hoped to seek comfort of the countryside view of Batangas and after Totoy promised him that Martinés – their destination – would change his life forever. But rat...

The Bet: Discussion, Analysis, and Interpretation

Image
              “The Bet” is a short story written by Anton Chekhov in 1889. There are two main characters in the story: the banker and the lawyer. They had made a bet on one another after discussing whether capital punishment is better or worse than life imprisonment. The banker wagered two million that the lawyer will not last five years in prison. The lawyer took the bet and added ten more years in prison in order to prove that life imprisonment is better than death penalty. The lawyer would be locked away with strict supervision inside the banker’s lodge in his garden. The lawyer can request any kind and at any quantity of books, musical instruments, wine, and tobacco; however, he is strictly not allowed to communicate orally nor was he allowed to hear human voices. He can only communicate through writing outside of his cell.   Discussion:             The excer...

ICT Classroom Rules

One of our tasks for this week was to create ICT related classroom rules. So, I thought of sharing you my work. Here are 10 classroom rules for positive ICT use: 1.     TAKE CARE OF THE MOBILE AND COMPUTER DEVICES Hold the devices properly and be careful not to damage them by overusing them or dropping them on the floor. Do not litter on the computer bench. Food and drinks are not allowed in front of the computer. Switch the devices off when not in use.   2.     DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING INSIDE THE COMPUTER Leave the computer or mobile screen as what you have found it. Do not download anything and do not install or uninstall any kind of software without asking permission from the teacher.   3.     ASK TEACHER FOR HELP WHEN ACCESSING UNFAMILIAR SOFTWARE When using applications you are not familiar with, ask your teacher how to use it. Accessing them without proper knowledge might lead you to misuse it or change its setting...
