Confusingly Funny, The Comedy of Errors

Confusion plus humorous equals Comedy of Errors! Wrinkled for head together with my confused mind is my expression while listening to that kind of composition with secret ingredients of confusion and comedy like sweet and spicy. Who told you that errors cannot be a source of laughter? Well, Comedy of Errors proves that you're wrong!

An expert writer, Shakespeare, made my mind upside down with his incredible and extraordinary composition. Two pair of twins, partnered with confusion, are the main characters of the story. Their identical faces are the root of all the troubles via errors. Shortest but the funniest for me.
16, 258 words that contain nothing but an almost perfect composition.

Before the discussion of the presenters, excitement surrounds me and my classmates because we will be introduced to a new dimension of Shakespeare's awesome world but as the discussion passes by, the excitement diminishes not because it is boring but because we are confused. I felt sleepy and I don't want to listen anymore due to the confusion that builds up on me. The dizziness of mine was broken when the I understand the flow of the story explained by our teacher. The blood flowing through my veins was awaken, my wrinkled forehead was gone, and my closed ears suddenly opens as the interest to the story invades my boredom. I kept on laughing and laughing on the mistakes created by the characters resulting into a bigger trouble. It is obvious that the characters are talking to each other seriously but the twist is that, they're talking to a wrong person creating confusion in each characters. Their stupidity made it alive. Some thought that Antipholus of Ephesus is Antipholus of Syracuse or vice versa and some thought that Dromio of Ephesus is Dromio of Syracuse or vice versa too. Sounds confusing right? Though it is, if you can understand the flow, you'll realize that it is not that confusing and boring! 

The ingredients of this Shakespearean story is not just comedy. Of course we will find out that there is a certain message and lesson hidden in every Shakespearean compositions. I guess this time, the lesson is: "Small mistakes may lead into bigger troubles", which is mainly correct. Well as far as I know, for me, this is the story that entertained me the most! The laughter it left to me and also the lesson it taught to me.

NCAE: First Step Through Dreams

This is my third year life. The life which is near to the real world. Real world that is full of struggles in life that is why we are here to train and be ready for that time to come. NCAE, the first step through dreams. A simple test but full of uses that we may use when we grow up. 

Many says that NCAE is useless, waste of time, and a source of boredom. I guess they're the one talking useless things. Can't they realize the real use of this exam? The real objective of it is to help us in the decisions on what course we are going to take up on college.

During the test, I can't hide the feeling that I am bored but still there's a percentage on my brain telling me that it is for me, it is for my own good, it is for my future. "I must take this seriously" is the sentence running in my mind. After the test, I felt very satisfied, and I felt like I am complete! Maybe because I already know the job that I will get in the future. I am always thinking on what job that I must got into, every night, everyday. Although it is the first step, it still helps me on having a clear mind and to pursue on my goal. We may not guess what God will plan to us on our career but atleast we know that we are on the right track, on our own interest. Just follow what job our heart wants and we will be successful. Thanks to Mr. NCAE!
