A Letter From Odysseus

  To my one and only love, It is cold and a lonely night, but my heart never falters or fright, for my love is far stronger more than the roaring seas and the mightiest breeze. Though the wind may blow, in places far I know. My soul lingers your warmth, for my love’s loyalty lies only to the woman I truly heart. I will! I will come home! Time may have set us apart, but my love will never part. Penelope! My dearest heart, my journey is still far and long, none knows how it lasts! Wait for me! Till’ death do us part.

Political Science: Standford Prison Experiment in Relation to Politics by: Lourenzo Manimtim

  (1)    How would you relate the Stanford Prison Experiment to our discussions regarding politics, power, and authority? If people are given power, naturally the person will feel powerful. He will have authority, an appointed power in which gives the capability to do what they want. And this natural reaction to power to people is what reflected the results of the Stanford Prison Experiment. The guards are given complete authority from small to the vilest actions and the prisoners are the ones being oppressed.   Then in the essence of the project the prison guards show what happens when people are given power to do things freely. A quotation from the experiment says that “If people are given power, then they have the capability to be evil” to overpower others and get the feeling they’re on top that they are higher and will have more authority. In relation to politics, power and authority is always at play. Afterall politics is the study of direction and contest of ...

Ay isa sa kanyang mga maimpluwensyang sulatin na pumapatungkol sa  mga tunay na pangyayari sa mga iba’t ibang mga kontemporaryong isyu na nararanasan dito sa ating bansa. Ibinunyag ng kanyang akda ang mga mga dahilan kung bakit ang mga Pilipino ay naging mababaw.

Napakahalaga at napakaimportante ng edukasyon lalong lalo na sa mga kabataan. Dahil ang edukasyon ay ang magsisilbing gabay sa mga kabataan hindi lamang sa pagtahak para sa laban ng buhay subalit pati na rin sa pag-alala at pagkilala ng ka...

          Many ask what is love? Does love come at first sight? Is love a fateful encounter? or perhaps love is a fairy tale where your destiny is already settled. But what is love really? According to an article by PhiltSTAR Life, there are stages that people mistake for love and those stages are “Lust” and “Infatuation”. When you feel like your in a process of attraction with an sex like you are bringing up a desire to do something sensual with an opposite sex that is not love but rather it is called as Lust or your “Sex Drive”.

The Adventures of Eddie Maintenance: A Melancholy | By: L.G. Writings (POETRY)

    Snowy Mountains at its Peak, Eddie falls in its sheet, Though travels in this tundral plains, To find snow bears no cold,   Pain it throbs, Squeeze thine left-side knee, A painful realization, That heaven relieves thine decay,   Flickering lights down the narrow ridge, Landscape, in its beauty, Heaven it is described, As he travelled forth in this seeming place, A Diner called “EAT” come in display,       Approaching though with thine place, He found people that bears no face, Until fate calls and destiny – unfortunately it comes, A Dark memory, A Nostalgic tragedy,   In the last booth, on the right-hand corner, Sat his father long he hates, With fury and wrath, That dwells until today,   The damage of neglect, The damage of violence, Eddie’s Past, made him, What he is Today,
