A tete-a-tete with Mr. Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci
      While I was looking at the painting of Mona Lisa at the museum, a guy approached me and I was amazed with what I saw. That guy was Leonardo Da Vinci, the one who painted the Mona Lisa. He asked me why I was looking at the painting and I simply said that the painting caught my attention. He also asked why it caught my attention; I said that it’s very simple yet it expresses beauty in simplicity. I asked him his secret on how he paints such very fine images and he just smiled and asked me if we can go out for a walk, I agreed with him. While we were walking, he took out a piece of paper and a pen then he started illustrating. He said that, there’s no such secret behind his outstanding work in painting.


        Let it come from your heart, free your mind and let your imagination run wild, Da Vinci said to me. He showed me the illustration he had made. Guess what? It was me who he illustrated on the paper and he affixed his signature at the bottom. Words can’t express how happy I was at that moment. He gave me advises and tips on how to paint perfectly. He also showed me some of his paintings. I enjoyed looking at the paintings though it’s a little bit old and the image is not that clear anymore.

           Time passed by so fast that I didn’t notice that we have reached my house already. Before leaving, he gave me a paint brush and he said that it’s mine already. For me, it was the greatest remembrance that a person can have in their life. He said to let the paint brush serve as an inspiration to me when I paint something. He said that even though we only had one day spent with each other still, he had a great time with me. He bid goodbye and I watched him walk away. I admit I’m going to miss him very much.

A tete-a-tete About the Christmas Party




      It was a cold morning on the 19th of December at exactly 8 o'clock, when Rose Anne and I were talking about our Christmas Party.

 " Hey Patricia! The Christmas party will be held tomorrow afternoon, ma'am said that" Rose Anne told me.
                                                                                   
"Really? I heard from Christian that it will be held on Friday" I replied.

"Noooo! Ma'am said that it will be held tomorrow" she said.

Then suddenly Marinel joined in our conversation.

Marinel asked what we are talking about.

Rose Anne replied that we were talking about the Christmas Party.

"Yep! We're so excited!" I added in joy.

Then we wondered about the time and activities of our Christmas Party.

"Hey, let's ask Ma'am the time of our year level Christmas Party" Marinel said.

"Yah! Let's go" I agreed.

Rose Anne opposed and said that we should make the invitation first because we’re the ones assigned to that.

Marinel agreed with Rose Anne.

"Let's use my laptop. I brought it today." I recommended.

"Sure! Give it to me." Marinel said.

"Ma'am Juliet said that Ma'am Orsal will be the opening speaker for tomorrow." Rose Anne informed us.

"Really?!" Marinel and I reacted.

"Yes!, just do it Marinel!" Rose Anne replied.

Marinel agreed with Rose Anne and said that she will do it.

"Hey! Who will be our emcees?" I asked.

"Hmmm I think Jessa and Igi will fit for that" Rose Anne suggested.

"Ah! Yes! Yes!" I agreed.

Then Marinel said that she is done already.

Rose Anne told her that she is very fast.

"Can we see it?" I demanded.

"Sure! I'm so great!" Marinel exclaimed.

"Ok! Let's consult Ma'am if this is okay already" Rose Anne added.

We both agreed with Rose Anne.

The Student's Voyage to Hell


   Half way on the journey of our school year, I found myself lying inside a creepy room with no windows but only a lantern beside me that glimmers at its best. I felt like someone was watching my every move. After a while of searching for a way to escape the room I heard a voice calling my name, the voice sounds so familiar to me. Then it showed itself to me, it was my best friend Peter who was guiding me in this room after all this time.
   I asked him why I was here and what was he doing. He said that I was the chosen one and he was asked by someone to guide me through my expedition. He pulled a stick from behind him and he used it to open the door. Our expedition starts now.

First Room: The Slothful
          Inside this room, I found the lazy students who don’t do their home works, projects, seat works and other stuffs associated with studying. The disciplinary act for them is that they have to answer a lot of exercises, if they don’t answer it, more exercises would be given to them.

Second Room: The Late Sleepers
            After leaving the first room, we proceeded here in the second room where we can see the late sleepers. The students who are in here are the students who sleep late at night wasting their time with nonsense things. The disciplinary act for them is that they are forced to sleep for a long time to restore the wasted hours that they had made.

Third Room: The Scallywags
          In this room, I saw the students who had caused a lot of trouble inside and outside the school. The disciplinary act for them is that they need to kneel on a floor covered with a mixture of salt and monggo seeds, they cannot stand up until they had confessed and repent for the troubles they've made.

Fourth Room: The Cheaters
            The students here are the ones who cheat on everything. The disciplinary act for them is that they would be tied so tight on a chair and they’re forced to watch every cheating they have made forever.

Fifth Room: The Overconfident
            The students here are the once who are very much proud of themselves. Their disciplinary act is that they will be blindfolded and a boulder will be tied in each of their foot.

Sixth Room: The Mischievous
          The students here are the ones who always make fun of everything. The naughty students here are forced to seat on a chair with their body tied to the chair so tight and their mouth is covered with a lot of tape.

Seventh Room: The Violators
          The students here are the ones who violated the rules in school and inside their rooms. The disciplinary act for them here is that they would be tied on a chair and the rules will be cited on their ears for so many times.

Eight Room: The Ditchers
          The students here are the ones who don’t like to study at all. The disciplinary act for them is that they are forced to study and if they don’t study, they will carry big books in each hand while kneeling on the floor with a mixture of salt and monggo seeds.

Ninth Room: The Disobeyers
          In this room, I saw the students who disobey their parents, teachers and other people. The disciplinary act for them in this room is that they aren’t recognized by their parents and other people who know them. Their heads would become bigger every time they disobey their parents.

      After we have travelled the nine rooms, we have finally reached the room where we came from. Peter disappeared just like when bubbles vanish. Then I just lost conscience and fell down on the floor. Then I woke up inside my bedroom. I never thought of that journey as a dream but a true to life experience where my soul travelled into a different dimension where no mortal is allowed to go.
