The Merchant of Venice would technically be the first ever Shakespeare play I would READ. I remember having to read Romeo and Juliet in high school, but I never read it. I just looked up some help notes online and managed with it.

Why?

First, Yoda-sp33k into I am not. I may be an English teacher, but reading literature has never been one of my favorite things to do. THAT would have to change now, I realized after the first quarter. And now I have to deal with Shakespeare.

Second, Poetry I cannot befriend/ When reading I feel my life at its end. And Shakespeare’s poems, though not necessarily with rhyme and everything, is a whole text of poetry. Allusions here and there, metaphors and hyperboles and more. Poetry would need a deeper, more serious reading. Something I am very lazy to do.

You may be wondering by now… Why the heck did I become an English teacher then?

Unfortunately, it was never a question of preference. It was all about the ease, the ease I have found out to be false. Not all that is gold shimmers, according to Shakespeare, and I thought then that English was gold.

Kidding. I just wanted to avoid Math during the time I was shifting to another program. Nothing to deep-read about that.

*sigh*

HOW can I appreciate Shakespeare?

To all the golfers out there, if you buy Callaway golf products, depending on how much you spent, you can get either an iPod or iTunes gift card!

I will always think that Golf is a VERY VERY boring game. And I think someone
started thinking so as well, because of that free iPod thing. So to ease that boredom away, listen to some music. :D Cool isn’t it?

Acne is nasty and could become a serious issue if not taken care of. Acne isn’t really caused by dirt, that’s what I just found out today.

There are two types of acne, according to Acne.com.

These are the non-inflammatory acne and the inflammatory acne.

Under the non-inflammatory type is the whitehead and the blackhead.

Whiteheads, or the closed comedo, is when the follicle stays below the surface of the skin and they just appear as small, whitish bumps.

Blackheads, or the open comedo, is when the hole enlarged and tie plug pushes through the surface of the skin. It is black, but this is not due to dirt, as what you might think. Rather, it is due to the buildup of melanin, which is the skin’s dark pigment.

There are different kinds of inflammatory acne:

I just learned this word a few days ago (from reading Shakespeare)

Usury is the act of lending money with a very high interest rate. In Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, the ones practicing usury were the Jews, and they were very much discriminated against.

Here in the Philippines, who are the usurers?

Those who lend by 5-6.

What is 5-6? 5-6 (read as paib-siks) is a way of lending money wherein if you borrow 5 apples, you must pay back 6 (120 %)
