A CHARACTER SKETCH
MA. ERICKA DURAN
III BECQUEREL
After waking from one of my dreamsabout him, I wasn’t able to fall back into sleep. I was already spacing out when I begun to reminisce all the moments we had spent together. Every single thought of him made me grin like a lunatic…but before I continue my fantancies, I’m pretty sure you’re anxious about him.
Ronald Werling, a guy so full of aspirations and wild imagination, has caught everyone’s attention, especially mine. He had once become the center of my world. I admire hime for the goals he had already set in his young age. I used to not have a direction in life but hearing his plans for his future had not only encouraged me but also left me in awe.
He hates being labeled for his traits for he believes humans are not supposed to be judged. He is known for his randomness and whenever de decides on something, there’s no stopping him.
This guy is a sports buff. He’s good both in swimming and football. He never says no to new adventures and challenges. He’s a real jack of all traits.
To sum it up, he is a little of everything else. He is sweet but sour sometimes. He is thoughtful but sometimes insensitive. He is mature but sometimes childish. In short, he is Ronald Werling – a “random” special guy.

Eve’s Get-Up: Good Taste on Girl Clothes
ReplyDeleteby Ma. Josephine E. Inocencio
Do you have a particular outfit in mind but you do not know how to achieve ‘the look’? Just like anywhere else, you would not know the real score about dressing up yourself and dressing up the eyes of another. It is a formidable task but it can be done. Here are some friendly and helpful hints on how to do the proper way of dressing.
First are the lists very big DONT’S in dressing.
Never wear a printed and tinted shirt with printed and shimmering pants. How would you look like? People would say, “Oh, this person has nothing to wear! So baduy!”.
Do not overdress. A simple shirt match with jeans and rubber shoes will show off your figure and definitely, simplicity will be notice.
If you are somewhat curvy, do not wear oversized pieces all over. Mix proportions.
Now you know the general rules in dressing, here are the DO’S.
Know what will be the occasion or event that you will attend. It is very improper to wear a sleeveless blouse matching with shorts and rubber shoes with net stockings in a debut, right?
If you are like a petite lady, learn to walk in high heels. They will give you the extra height. Wear mini skirts sometimes because they make legs look longer.
Skinny ladies, trash off your old fashion. Here is a new one. Play with layers to give your body extra curves. Low-rise jeans are the best because they give you a bit of butt.
Accessorize yourself with details matching with the color of you dress. Do not clutter your look with too many accessories.
Have a good hair day and consider your skin tone.
These are only some of the trends in wearing even old clothes without throwing off the clean style of clothing. Just remember that the keys for a good look and taste of a person is by being comfortable and confident everywhere. Get up girl and dress right!

Story Review of THE NECKLACE by Guy de Maupassant
Guy de Maupassant’s short story “The Necklace” weaves a tale about Madame Mathilde Loisel who dreams of the finer things of life and is not content with her secure, middle class lifestyle. The price she pays for a single evening of elegance turns into years of drudgery and despair. This is a story that has stood the test of time and is as relevant today as when Maupassant wrote it in the late nineteenth century.
The plot begins with a description of the protagonist, Mathilde, a young lady born into a family with little means, and who marries a gentleman who is employed as a clerk. The setting of this story is late nineteenth century France. Maupassant employs the limited omniscient narrative perspective and utilizes third-person narration in this short story that allows his readers an intimate look into Mathilde’s life. Utilizing this point of view enables his readers to appreciate the changes that take place in her character. The narrator’s tone in this piece is unsympathetic towards the protagonist.
Mathilde is unhappy with her lot in life. She is portrayed as someone who believes she deserves a better life than the one she has; she wants to “please, to be envied, to be charming, to be sought after”. The shame that she feels about her own financial and social status is something that many people can understand. The difference is that most people are unwilling to make the sacrifices made by Mathilde and her husband for one night of pleasure.
Maupassant masterfully portrays the depth of emotion of this character throughout this story especially in the scene when her husband comes home with an invitation to the ball. Instead of “being delighted” with the invitation, she throws it on the table “muttering”. Maupassant continues to explain her reaction and how she becomes “irritated” and impatient with her husband.
Mathilde does not believe her own possessions to be valuable and believes that people of her social class assume things are only valuable if they are expensive. She fails to realize that objects only have value as long as someone prizes them. She spends so much time convincing herself that possessions only have value if they are expensive that she loses sight of the real value of things. This turns out to be a serious error on her part.
Maupassant masterfully uses irony to produce a surprise ending in this short story. In doing so, he attempts to teach his readers several different moral lessons. Maupassant asserts that the people who survive the misfortunes of life are somehow stronger and therefore actually benefit from their adversities.
