This is going to be a dream come true!!!!

"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction", said Einstein, This doesn't really say that technology is bad, it is the overuse or misuse. Technology has improved vastly from the start until now. Computers, laptops, phones, and more gadgets were invented. Before it was just a want and not a need, but now, it has become a necessity.

The most important gadget that was invented, for me, was the computer. Before, I thought it was just actually for sossy and rich people but as I grew older, I realized I was wrong. It is a big part of a person's life especially a student like me. I don't know how I will live without computers backing me up.

Despite all the good effects of having computer, its opposite will never be gone. Being addicted to computer games, surfing net, getting attached to the social networking sites are mainly the reasons for computer addiction. There will always be advantages and disadvantages.

But computers are irreplaceable. It is very important for researches of students, communication, and many more things. They are so vital to every person. The computer marks every step a person goes while on his way to success.

They deserve a Happy Ending :)

(Romeo enters with Balthasar and at the same time Paris and his Page)
Romeo: (speaking so that Balthasar only hears) Balthasar, here's my gift to you (gives Balthasar money). You better leave now. Thanks for everything, my dear fellow. (Balthasar exits)
Paris: (speaking so that his Page only hears) My Page, you better fetch some watchmen right now. (the Page exits) (to Romeo) What is your purpose here, you dirty Montague? And no matter what that purpose is, you WILL die!
Romeo: Yeah, I must indeed die. But please before that, can you please go and leave me alone. I am desperate to die. Please go, I don't want to commit more crimes. I am begging you. My weapons here are for myself alone.
Paris: I refuse to request. You killed my love's cousin Tybalt, that's why I am going to kill you with my own hands.
Romeo: Are you not going to leave? Are you provoking me? You want to fight, arrogant boy?
(Romeo and Paris start to fight)
(Paris falls)
Romeo: I don't want to end another life. I'll leave you wounded.
Paris: I don't need your help. Just kill me and lay me next to my dear Juliet. (Paris faints)
(Romeo didn't answer Paris and proceeds to revealing who's in the tomb)
Romeo: Oh my dear Juliet, what happened? Why did you need to die? You should not have left me alone in this dark place. You should be enjoying your life with me. No matter what, I'll join you in the afterlife.
(scene goes to Friar Lawrence)
Friar Lawrence: (shocked) Why is Juliet's tomb open? Who's there? (The Friar proceeds to the tomb and sees Romeo about to open the poison bottle) (to Romeo) Stop that, right now! Juliet is not yet dead!
(Romeo stops)
Romeo: What? Not yet dead? Don't you see that Juliet is here lying so cold and I was about to follow her in the afterlife.
Friar Lawrence: Calm down Romeo, let me explain. Juliet is lying there not dead but pretending to be dead. She asked me to resolve the problem that you two have. I gave her a potion that will stop her pulse and will be out of effect after 48 hours. She did that all for you Romeo.
Romeo: Juliet, Juliet, how sweet can you get?
(Paris regains consciousness but still can not move) (Juliet wakes up)
Paris: (clueless and shocked) Juliet is alive?
Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, you came here for me.
(There are footsteps near them. The watchmen with the Prince, the Capulets, and the Montague entered the tomb)
(Capulet and Montague run to the scene)
Capulet: Juliet? Montague: Romeo?
Prince Escalus: Stop it right there! What is happening here? Why is the Capulet's daughter, Juliet, alive? What is the banished Romeo doing here? Why is Count Paris wounded? Friar Lawrence, do you know anything about the incident?
Friar Lawrence: Wait, I'll explain everything.
Prince Escalus: Faster!
Friar Lawrence: Let's start in the day when Tybalt died. That day, Juliet was sad not because Tybalt was dead but because Romeo was to be banished. Before Romeo killed Tybalt, I secretly held a wedding for Romeo and Juliet because I thought it will start good terms between the Capulets and the Montagues. And also, Juliet was not dead. She just pretended to be dead. I gave her a potion to stop her pulse for 48 hours to solve her problem.
Capulet: And here we thought you are really a holy man!
Prince Escalus: Capulet, stop!
(Paris grabbed Romeo's poison without someone seeing)
Friar Lawrence: That's all I can share to you. I don't know what happened to Count Paris.
Romeo: I am so sorry. I asked him to leave but he didn't. I was about to kill myself since I don't know that Juliet was really alive. We fought and I left him wounded.
(Paris drank the poision, Paris faints)
Capulet: (Everyone shocked) What happened?
Romeo: The poison I was about to drink...
(The Capulet got mad at Romeo)
Capulet: (To himself) You dirty Montague! (gets a dagger and proceeds to stabbing Romeo)
(The Montague rushed to save Romeo in exchange of his own life)
Montague: Sorry Romeo, I was not a good father. But it's ok. Seems like you found a girl you will love. I am a proud father. Forgive the Capulets, nothing will happen if this continues.
(Romeo's anger in the Capulets was gone)
Prince: How dare you commit a crime in front of me Capulet. You are to be banished.
Capulet: (not minding the Prince) Romeo and Juliet, my daughter, I am so sorry. I feel like I am the worst in the world after seeing my rival die and tells his son to forgive us, specially me. I am terribly sorry.
Juliet: It's fine, my dear father.
Romeo: (to Capulet) I will lie if I tell you that I'm not mad at you. But I know in time, I can forgive you.
Romeo and Juliet: Please, our dear Prince Escalus, don't banish the Capulet.
Prince: Seems like you're in peace already. Understood heroes of Verona, I won't banish the Capulet but he will be removed from his position starting now.
(Romeo, Juliet, and everyone comes back to the city and Romeo and Juliet had another wedding, but it is public.)
Romeo: Juliet, I love you.
Juliet: Romeo, I love you too.
(Romeo and Juliet kissed)
Capulet: As the former king of the Capulets, Romeo, you will be the next king of the Capulets, no both the Capulets and the Montagues as one.
(The Capulets and Montagues are now in good terms. Romeo became the king of both families.)

THE END

A Brilliant Ending

Modern Romeo and Juliet Act 5 Scene 3

PARIS enters with his PAGE.
PARISGive me your torch, boy. Go away and stay apart from me. Put the torch out, so I can’t be seen. Hide under the yew-trees over there. Listen to make sure no one is coming through the graveyard. If you hear any one, whistle to me to signal that someone is approaching. Give me those flowers. Do as I tell you. Go.
The PAGE puts out the torch and gives PARIS the flowers.
PAGE

(to himself) I am almost afraid to stand alone here in the graveyard, but I’ll take the risk.

The PAGE moves aside
PARIS

(he scatters flowers at JULIET’s closed tomb)Sweet flower, I’m spreading flowers over your bridal bed. Oh, pain! Your canopy is dust and stones. I’ll water these flowers every night with sweet water. Or, if I don’t do that, my nightly rituals to remember you will be to put flowers on your grave and weep.

The PAGE whistles
The boy is warning me that someone approaches. Who could be walking around here tonight? Who’s ruining my rituals of true love?
It’s someone with a torch! I must hide in the darkness for awhile.
PARIS hides in the darkness. ROMEO and BALTHASAR enter with a torch, a pickax, and an iron crowbar.
ROMEO
Give me that pickax and the crowbar. (he takes them from BALTHASAR) Here, take this letter. Early in the morning deliver it to my father. (he gives the letter to BALTHASAR) Give me the light. (he takes the torch from BALTHASAR) Swear on your life, I command you, whatever you hear or see, stay away from me and do not interrupt me in my plan. I’m going down into this tomb of the dead, partly to behold my wife’s face. But my main reason is to take a precious ring from her dead finger. I must use that ring for an important purpose. So go on your way. But if you get curious and return to spy on me, I swear I’ll tear you apart limb by limb and spread your body parts around to feed the hungry animals in the graveyard. My plan is wild and savage. I am more fierce in this endeavor than a hungry tiger or the raging sea.
BALTHASAR
I’ll go, sir, and I won’t bother you.
ROMEO
That’s the way to show me friendship. Take this.(he gives BALTHASAR money) Live and be prosperous. Farewell, good fellow
BALTHASAR

(speaking so that only PARIS can hear) Despite what I said, I’ll hide nearby. I’m frightened by the look on his face, and I have doubts about his intentions.

BALTHASAR moves aside and falls asleep.
ROMEO
(speaking to the tomb) You horrible mouth of death! You’ve eaten up the dearest creature on Earth. Now I’m going to force open your rotten jaws and make you eat another body. (ROMEO begins to open the tomb with his tools)
PARIS

(speaking so that ROMEO can’t hear) It’s that arrogant Montague, the one who’s been banished. He’s the one who murdered my love’s cousin Tybalt. They think she died with grief for that cousin. This guy has come here to commit awful crimes against the dead bodies. I’ll catch him.

(to ROMEO) Stop your evil work, vile Montague! Can you take revenge on dead bodies? Condemned villain, I’ve caught you. Obey and come with me. You must die.
ROMEO
I must indeed. That’s why I came here. Good and noble young man, don’t mess with someone who’s desperate. Get away from here and leave me. Think about the ones who have died. Let them put fear in your heart. Please, young man, don’t make me angry. I don’t want to commit another crime. Oh, go away! I swear, I love you more than I love myself. For I’ve come here with weapons to use against myself. Don’t stay here, go away. Live, and from now on, say a madman mercifully told you to run away.
PARIS
I refuse your request. I’m arresting you as a criminal.
ROMEO

Are you going to provoke me? Alright, let’s fight, boy!

ROMEO and PARIS fight.
PAGE

Oh Lord, they’re fighting! I’ll go call the watch.

The PAGE exits.
PARIS
(he falls) Oh, I’ve been killed!

If you are merciful, open the tomb and lay me next to Juliet.

PARIS dies.
ROMEO

Alright, I will. Let me look at this face. It’s Mercutio’s relative, noble Count Paris! What did my man say? I was worried, so I wasn’t listening to him while we were riding. I think he told me Paris was about to marry Juliet. Isn’t that what he said? Or was I dreaming? Or am I crazy? Did I hear him say something about Juliet and jump to conclusions? Oh, give me your hand. Both of us had such bad luck! I’ll bury you in a magnificent grave.

ROMEO opens the tomb to reveal JULIET inside.
A grave? Oh no! This is a lantern, dead Paris. Juliet lies here, and her beauty fills this tomb with light. Dead men, lie there. You are being buried by another dead man. (he lays PARIS in the tomb
How often are men happy right before they die! They call it the lightness before death. Oh, how can I call this lightness? Oh, my love! My wife! Death has sucked the honey from your breath, but it has not yet ruined your beauty. You haven’t been conquered. There is still red in your lips and in your cheeks. Death has not yet turned them pale. Tybalt, are you lying there in your bloody death shroud? Oh, what better favor can I do for you than to kill the man who killed you with the same hand that made you die young. Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet, why are you still so beautiful? Should I believe that death is in love with you, and that the awful monster keeps you here to be his mistress? I don’t like that idea, so I’ll stay with you. And I will never leave this tomb. Here, here I’ll remain with worms that are your chamber-maids. Oh, I’ll rest here forever. I’ll forget about all the bad luck that has troubled me. Eyes, look out for the last time! Arms, make your last embrace! And lips, you are the doors of breath. Seal with a righteous kiss the deal I have made with death forever. (ROMEO kisses JULIET and takes out the poison) Come, bitter poison, come, unsavory guide! You desperate pilot, let’s crash this sea-weary ship into the rocks! Here’s to my love!

ROMEO drinks the poison.
Oh, that pharmacist was honest! His drugs work quickly. So I die with a kiss.
ROMEO dies.
FRIAR LAWRENCE enters with a lantern, crowbar, and shovel.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Saint Francis, help me! How often tonight have my old feet stumbled on gravestones! Who’s there?
BALTHASAR
I’m a friend, a friend who knows you well.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
God bless you! Tell me, my good friend, what is that light over there? The one that vainly lights up the darkness for worms and skulls without eyes? It looks to me like it’s burning in the Capulet tomb.
BALTHASAR
That is where it’s burning, father. My master is there. The one you love.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Who is it?
BALTHASAR
Romeo.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
How long has he been there?
BALTHASAR
For a full half hour.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Go with me to the tomb.
BALTHASAR
I don’t dare, sir. My master doesn’t know I’m still here. He threatened me with death if I stayed to look at what he was doing.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
Stay, then. I’ll go alone. I’m suddenly afraid. Oh, I’m very scared something awful has happened.
BALTHASAR
As I slept under this yew-tree here, I had a dream that my master and someone else were fighting and that my master killed him.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
(approaching the tomb) Romeo! Oh no! What is this blood that stains the stony entrance of this tomb? Why are these bloody swords lying here, abandoned by their masters? Next to this place of peace?

(he looks inside the tomb) Romeo! Oh, he’s pale! Who else? What, Paris too? And he’s covered in blood? Ah, when did these horrible things happen? The lady’s moving.

JULIET wakes up.
JULIET

Oh friendly friar! Where is my husband? I remember very well where I should be, and here I am. Where is my Romeo?

A noise sounds from outside the tomb.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
I hear some noise. Lady, come out of the tomb. A greater power than we can fight has ruined our plan. Come, come away. Your husband lies dead there, and Paris too. Come, I’ll place you among the sisterhood of holy nuns. Don’t wait to ask questions. The watch is coming. Come, let’s go, good Juliet, I don’t dare stay any longer.
JULIET

Go, get out of here. I’m not going anywhere.

FRIAR LAWRENCE exits.
What’s this here? It’s a cup, closed in my true love’s hand? Poison, I see, has been the cause of his death. How rude! He drank it all, and didn’t leave any to help me afterward. I will kiss your lips. Perhaps there’s still some poison on them, to make me die with a medicinal kiss. (she kissesROMEO) Your lips are warm.
WATCHMEN and PARIS’s PAGE enter.
CHIEF WATCHMAN
(coming to the PAGE) Lead, boy. Which way?
JULIET
Oh, noise? Then I’ll be quick. Oh, good, a knife! My body will be your sheath. Rust inside my body and let me die.
(she stabs herself with ROMEO’s dagger and dies)
PAGE
This is the place. There, where the torch is burning.
CHIEF WATCHMAN

The ground is bloody. Search the graveyard. Go, some of you, arrest whoever you find.

Some WATCHMEN exit.
This is a pitiful sight! The count is dead. Juliet is bleeding. Her body is warm, and she seems to have been dead only a short time, even though she has been buried for two days. Go, tell the Prince. Run to the Capulets. Wake up the Montagues. Have some others search.
Some other WATCHMEN exit in several directions.

We see the cause of all this pain. But we’ll have to investigate to discover the whole story.

The SECOND WATCHMAN reenters withBALTHASAR.
SECOND WATCHMAN
Here’s Romeo’s man. We found him in the churchyard.
CHIEF WATCHMAN

Hold him in custody until the Prince gets here.

The THIRD WATCHMAN reenters with FRIAR LAWRENCE.
THIRD WATCHMAN
Here is a friar who’s trembling, sighing and weeping. We took this pickax and this shovel from him, as he was walking from this side of the graveyard.
CHIEF WATCHMAN

Very suspicious. Hold the friar too.

The PRINCE enters with ATTENDANTS.
PRINCE

What crimes happen so early in the morning that I have to wake up before the usual time?

CAPULET and LADY CAPULET enter.
CAPULET
What’s the problem, that they cry out so loud?
LADY CAPULET
Some people in the street are crying “Romeo.” Some are crying “Juliet,” and some are crying “Paris.” They’re all running in an open riot toward our tomb.
PRINCE
What’s this awful thing that everyone’s crying about?
CHIEF WATCHMAN
Prince, here lies Count Paris killed. And Romeo dead. And Juliet. She was dead before, but now she’s warm and hasn’t been dead for long.
PRINCE
Investigate how this foul murder came about.
CHIEF WATCHMAN
Here is a friar, and dead Romeo’s man. They’ve got tools on them—tools they could use to open these tombs.
CAPULET
Oh heavens! Oh wife, look at how our daughter bleeds! That knife should be in its sheath on that Montague’s back, but instead it’s mis-sheathed in my daughter’s breast.
LADY CAPULET

Oh my! This sight of death is like a bell that warns me I’m old and I’ll die soon.

MONTAGUE enters.
PRINCE
Come, Montague. You’re up early to see your son down early.
MONTAGUE
Oh, my liege, my wife died tonight. Sadness over my son’s exile stopped her breath. What further pain must I endure in my old age?
PRINCE
Look, and you’ll see.
MONTAGUE
(seeing ROMEO's body) Oh, you undisciplined boy! Where are your manners? It’s not right for a son to push past his father on his way to the grave.
PRINCE
Be quiet and hold back your remarks of outrage, until we can clear up these questions. We want to know how it started and what really happened. And then I’ll be the leader of pain, and maybe I’ll lead you as far as death. In the meantime, hold on, and be patient. Bring forth the men under suspicion.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
I am the greatest, but I was able to do the least. I am under the most suspicion, because I was here at the time of this awful murder. And here I stand, you can question me and punish me. I have already condemned and excused myself.
PRINCE
Tell us what you know about this affair.
FRIAR LAWRENCE
I will be brief because I’m not going to live long enough to tell a boring story. Romeo, who lies there dead, was the husband of that Juliet. And she, who lies there dead, was that Romeo’s faithful wife. I married them; their secret wedding day was the day Tybalt died. His untimely death caused the bridegroom to be banished from the city. Juliet was sad because Romeo was gone, not because of Tybalt’s death. To cure her sadness, you arranged a marriage for her with Count Paris. Then she came to me, and, looking wild, she asked me to devise a plan to get her out of this second marriage. She threatened to kill herself in my cell if I didn’t help her. So I gave her a sleeping potion that I had mixed with my special skills. It worked as planned. She seemed to everyone to be dead.
In the meantime I wrote to Romeo and told him to come here on this awful night to help remove her from her temporary grave when the sleeping potion wore off. But the man who carried my letter, Friar John, was held up by an accident. Last night he gave me the letter back. So I came here alone at the hour when she was supposed to wake up. I came to take her out of her family’s tomb, hoping to hide her in my cell until I could make contact with Romeo. But by the time I got here, just a few minutes before Juliet woke up, Paris and Romeo were already dead. She woke up, and I asked her to come out of the tomb with me and endure this tragedy with patience. But then a noise sent me running scared from the tomb. She was too desperate to come with me, and it seems that she killed herself. I know all of this. And her Nurse knows about the marriage too. If any part of this tragedy is my fault, let my old life be sacrificed and let me suffer the most severe punishment.
PRINCE
We have always known you to be a holy man. Where’s Romeo’s man? What does he have to say about this?
BALTHASAR
I brought my master news of Juliet’s death. And then he rode from Mantua here to this tomb. (he shows a letter) Earlier this morning he asked me to give this letter to his father. When he went into the vault, he threatened me with death if I didn’t leave him alone there.
PRINCE
Give me the letter. I’ll look at it. (he takes the letter from BALTHASAR) Where is the count’s page, the one who called the watch? Boy, what was your master doing here?
PAGE
He came with flowers to spread on his lady’s grave. And he asked me to stand far away and leave him alone, and so I did. Then someone with a torch came to open the tomb. So my master drew on him. And then I ran away to call the watch.
PRINCE
(skimming the letter) This letter confirms the friar’s account. It describes the course of their love and mentions the news of her death. Here he writes that he bought poison from a poor pharmacist. He brought that poison with him to this vault to die and lie with Juliet. Where are these enemies? Capulet! Montague! Do you see what a great evil results from your hate? Heaven has figured out how to kill your joys with love. Because I looked the other way when your feud flared up, I’ve lost several members of my family as well. Everyone is punished.
CAPULET
Oh, brother Montague, give me your hand. This is my daughter’s dowry. I can ask you for nothing more.
MONTAGUE
But I can give you more. I’ll raise her statue in pure gold. As long as this city is called Verona, there will be no figure praised more than that of true and faithful Juliet.
CAPULET
The statue I will make of Romeo to lie beside his Juliet will be just as rich. They were poor sacrifices of our rivalry!
PRINCE
We settle a dark peace this morning. The sun is too sad to show itself. Let’s go, to talk about these sad things some more. Some will be pardoned, and some will be punished.
There was never a story more full of pain than the story of Romeo and Juliet.
They all exit.

No matter how bad things go, everything will change...

My precious father

Someday, someone will tell me "Just give me a reason why you love him", Most likely, I'll respond to him as fast as I can and say "Everything has changed because of him".

We don't celebrate Father's day so much. We just show our dad how much we can go through just for him so I'll just share about my father.

To be honest, in times, he really gets in my nerves especially when he's drunk. I'm really pissed off because no matter how we convince him to stop, he still won't. Now, he's much into drinking and I don't know how to tell him how I feel. He's too much powerful for us, even for my mom but I guess that's a part of being a dad for children like us.

I guess the worst scene you'll ever see is when you see your parents fight, When I was listening to them fight, it broke my heart, I guess worst than any other heart breaks I'll get. I mean, they are the one who took care of you all this time and then you'll see them fight in just a simple thing. I'm not in favor of my mom but my dad was really to blame that time. I don't hate him, it's just that, he was wrong.

He's powerful and I was able to experience that power too. That's why I can relate myself to the stories for our LSB. It hurts totally when it comes from those people who saved your life and those who earn the living for you. That power still gives me chills but I know that as a grown-up already, I need to be brave enough not to oppose my father, but to take it all. I know I can.

He hasn't even acknowledged what I reached so far. Yes, I know that's not my target but once in a while, remembering that your father had acknowledged you, you will feel good.

But despite all of those things I hate my Dad for, I still love him. Why? Because I don't need to look at one side only, he has done much more than that. He has shaped me to what I am now, he was even the one to teach me Math. Even my weight loss, my height gain were all because of him. There's always reason for hate, but love still conquers all.

My dad is not as rich as Batman and not as strong as Superman but he always tries his best to be like those for us, for our present and for our future. He works hard to have money to support our family and stays strong.

There are many reasons for me to hate him, but there's much more for me to love him. I owe him pretty much everything I have now and someday, I'll pay him twice, no thrice as much as what he gave to me. He's one of the people I want to acknowledge me not just by what status I got, nor the grades I get, but me itself.

I will never fail his expectations because he believes that I can do everything once I tried the hardest I can.

"I think, therefore I am" -  René Descartes

Your savior is ALWAYS greater than the person you admire.

The best moment with my Ma and Pa...

There are many people I admire. Tsuna, a mafia who wants to change the future for the better and pirates who oppose the Government because of their wrongdoings like the Straw Hat Pirates. The guild who uses magic to onslaught evil like Fairy Tail and Rin, a demon who wants to defeat the Demon King, his own father to save the world.

I can be mistaken with my thoughts but those people I admire lack something that my heroes have. Yes, they want to save the world and will eventually do but it is just a delusion in a person's dreams. A dream that makes us stay believing that there can still be a change in our world. But they always forget that there are people in our side, those who won't leave and stay with us. Those who sacrifice themselves and those who saved my world. They are my "Ma" and "Pa".

Why do I consider them as my heroes? Because they are my parents? NO. It is because they make me feel that they are my parents. Sacrificing just a little bit of time will never be enough. They sacrifice the whole of their time to take care of us. No matter what happens, your parents will always be on your side.

Those "Ma" and "Pa" raised me to what I am now. They never failed to take care of me even though they have their own problems to take a look into. They never stopped cheering me up when I am down. They always know if I have any problems and will always help me overcome those challenges in life. They never forget that they are my precious parents.

They are busy and have things to do. When they get interrupted, sometimes they get mad. I am somewhat getting sad every time this happens but I know what they are going through. They sacrifice everything and I know that I don't deserve all of their time.

Every time, I feel confident. It is because I know that no matter what stuff came damaging my life, my parents are gonna back me up. They won't stop supporting my studies and I believe that my future is going to be a very bright future because my parents are here for me.

"Those parents who don't scold their children will never be great parents. They don't love their children that much to know what's good for them".
