The Phantom of the Opera

At first, our impression for the Phantom was that he was the antagonist of the story. At first, when we met him there comes Phantom as the third party of the deadly love triangle of Ms. Christine Daae and Raoul. He was the cause of the hindrance of their love. He wants that he can own Christine for he liked her so much even before. This Phantom has been living down in the opera house for most of his life, wearing a mask for he was afraid to show his face because of a supposed horrible disfigurement and suspicion of people in general. He makes a comfortable living by tricking the owners of the opera house to pay him a monthly salary.The Phantom takes a liking to Christine and guides her singing career. Unbeknown to her, he was the great teacher of Christine. Somehow, he has only been a disembodied voice to her, and she has wondered if he wasn't the spirit of her dead father directing her career.

Unfortunately,we jumped into conclusion and our conclusion was very wrong. How could be the title of the movie was the antagonist? So obviously, our impression was wrong. The Phantom was the protagonist. If that so, who was then the antagonist of the story?the one who made the story more interesting? Is it Raoul,Ms. Christine Daae nor Madame Giry? Who was really is it? Or can we say, is it necessary to conclude that the antagonist should be man nor woman? What if i say, it is not human but the destiny, the event.

All knowing Madame Giry attempts to explain the Phantom's origin for she knows everything about Phantom. I felt so pity for him because it is not his mistake why he was lack of his identity. It is so hard for now to express his love to Ms. Christine. It was the destiny that make it all. "Let destiny just guide us. But nevet let it be our basis in the flow of our lives."

"To love someone is to have courage to walk away and let go the other one who wishes to be free, no matter how much it hurts." I really appreciate the love of Phantom because eventhough how deep is his love for Christine, at the end he set her free even how much it hurts. We should consider that living without that someone we love truly is very miserable.

Feather On The Moon

“Most of us cry endless over things that could have been but never will be. God allows us to experience pain to make us stronger and better person. He will see us through the most trying and difficult times in our life if we put our trust in Him. We can learn to find joy in our tears and happiness in our sorrow.”

This best-selling author's latest novel of romantic suspense involves a quest for a long lost child. This book was very exciting and suspenseful. I thought this book was kind of boring when I first started reading it. But as I progressed in reading I realize it was good. I felt Jennifer Blake's pain. I know that this could so easily happen to the any of us, in a lot of family's so basically it was a real life situation.

The story goes like this: Jennifer Blake can still intensely remember the day when, momentarily distracted by a stranger woman, she left her three-year-old daughter, Debbie, unattended in a grocery cart. When she turned back, the child had disappeared suddenly. The police believed the strange woman Jennifer had seen was part of an organized team.

It is very sad to her part that her husband had thrown his life away so senselessly in tragic climbing accident on a mountain of Vermont. It is much worse that after a year, it is seconded with the loss of her daughter, the great reward on her life. For seven long years she stumbles into danger and intrigue that lived without hope, without love.

And as a mother, we cannot guarantee that we cannot be worry to our daughter that has been loss. That perhaps she might be alive somewhere and one of the hardest thing for her is to control her imagination onto her child that had been tortured, hurt psychologically and physically. With her husband’s dead and daughter’s gone; I think her life would be miserable. I can’t really imagine myself to be like her situation. It is very difficult for her to move on. Just like us, when we’d loss somebody who is very important in our lives. Here, it had really touched my heart. This story made me realized that the family was the most valuable treasure that we had.

Seven years after her child had been taken from her, Jennifer has found hope. She received a phone call from wealthy Corinthea Arles, who has noticed Debbie's photo in a magazine, and who says a young girl in her household whom it says her granddaughter bears a similar to Debbie.

“Acceptance is the key to a new beginning and time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its fearful shadow, there will always be light after of our darkest and loneliest moments.”

There were also exciting and thrilling scenes that made my attention to focus on this novel. It is because I consider this novel an interesting one. I really impress the author Phyllis A. Whitney who wrote this novel “Feather on the Moon” because she is a skilled author. It made me to say this because I noticed that she has the ability to capture and hold the reader from the very first paragraph that seems so unique and can interest the readers. It grips you from the very beginning! Whitney weaves her gothic magic upon us as we make out the meaning of good and evil, willing and wrongful -- all the way through to the end. I thought I had it figured out a couple of times, but there are so many false turns and twists that you're not sure until the last chapter. Once again Whitney gives us the suspense we have come to long for and expect from her .The reader immediately begins to empathize with Jennifer and the loss of her child whether you have children or not!

And once you start to read this, it seemed that you are on a racing through the book trying to reach to the point you wanted to. That’s what the story made interesting for me. Adventure, intrigue, suspense and romance are present on the story that can make me arouse curiosity of. . This is such an excellent read! How enjoyable I am in reading with this!! Appealing characters and intriguing plot twists!! I would recommend this book to any and everybody who enjoys mysteries and suspense novels.

The Glazing Atomic Models from different Scientists

Ernest Rutherford

A New Zealander,(1871-1937) later performed an experiment and concluded that an atom is mostly empty space. It has a tiny positive core, called nucleus. His model is known as ‘the nuclear model of the atom’ and is accepted model today. He used a very thin piece of gold with a stream of positively charged particles known as the alpha particles. He found that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil as though this was mostly empty space. A few of them bounced back and some were deflected. Rutherford concluded that an atom was made up of a very dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by empty space in which the electrons could be found. His experiment known as Gold Foil or Alpha-Scattering Experiment.

Neil’s Bohr

A Danish nuclear model and theoretical physicist,(1885-1962), made a contribution to the knowledge of atomic structure. He believes that electrons in an atom exist in specific regions at various distances from the nucleus. He saw the atom as a miniature solar system with its nucleus as the sun and the electrons rotating around it as the planets that orbit around the sun. The electrons are arranged around the nucleus in what are called energy levels or shells. He explained that the orbit closest to the nucleus is the lowest or ground state while orbits that increasing distances have greater energy levels.

Sir James Chadwick

A British physicist,(1891-1974),discovered the third major subatomic particles- the neutron. This particle bears neither a positive nor a negative charged and has a mass. He confirmed that it was the neutron that he sought. The mass of the neutron was also found to be slightly greater than the mass of the proton.

Erwin Schrodinger

An Austrian physicist,( 1887-1961),published his most famous work, the equation that explains the movement of electrons in an atom. It contained extremely hard math and many could not comprehend it. This model basically describes a cloud-like region where the electron is likely to be found. He studies the application and statistical interpretation of wave mechanics, the mathematical character of the new statistics, and the relationship of these statistics to statistical thermodynamics. He also worked on problems of general relativity and cosmology and on a unified field theory.

For me, I was in favor of Bohr’s proposal because first and foremost I was impressed with his model of the atom and I’m very much agreed witnts that were stated. He really made a significant contribution to our learnings about atomic structure. He visualized the electrons as rotating in orbits around the nucleus like planets rotating around the sun. He emphasized clearly so that we can easily pictured out and can easily understand the true structure of atoms. His proposal is much accepted today and it is our modern understanding of the particulate nature of matter and atoms that electrons can be found in orbit.

Reflection of being a Junior Student

Being a junior student in St.Mary's Academy, I was stucked with many tasks,projects,assignments and requirements. But I have no choice. It is required by the respective teachers so it is my obligation to do or fulfill all these things so that I can pass in this level. Being a student, it is difficult for me because there are many things to cope up with. In coping up with my classmates, teachers,friends and lessons. In my whole day spenting in school, I am together with them. I met their different behaviors and attitudes and it is difficult for me to cope up but I need to learn how to handle them, for me to exist here in this world.
For my two months as a junior I already felt that being a junior is not that easy but hard and difficult. I know that all these hardness that was given by the respective teachers was only a test for students for us to measure how strong we are and how responsible we are as a junior students, as a good citizens and as a capability to pass-to proceed in the next level. But behind all these fearfulness,it is also joyous being a junior student whenever I am with my peers or friends. When I spent my time to them, I was glad and happy. I can feel that life is not all difficulties but happiness is still existing in this world.
Together with my classmates and friends, they are the one I am be with in facing troubles and also joyous in high school life. And I really thank God for He had gave me true friends that I can be with not only in happiness but also comfort me in times of sadness. Also, for He had gave me a very supportive family, they provide me socially and financially support and with all my satisfaction. Nothing more that I can ask from God for He had gave me everything that I need. But I'd just always needing His guidance and support for me to have in the right path always and be a good example to everyone.
