Stress Reliever

April 6, 2011, Wednesday

One of my favorite poems is Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare. It was taught to us during our senior year. I liked it because of its meaning and story. My English teacher, Ma'am Ruby, explained it to us. That day was one of the best days in High School. Everyone was thinking and participating, even the guys who were very "makulit" back then. And I have realized, when love is mentioned, we all feel connected. :}

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

William Shakespeare 

PS: Stress Reliever because I played dress-up, applied make-up, and did my hair last night. Relieving. :P
