           Our UP Diliman trip was done on December 12, 2010. That was my birthday. At first, I didn't expect that they would remember my birthday. Before we rode our bus, many of them greeted me. On the bus, someone shouted, let's sing a birthday song for Divine. Then they sang loudly, 3 fluorine together with the 3 oxygen. All of us were there before 5:30 am then we started rolling at 6 am. When we're at UP, all of us are very excited. Some face from show business showed up. While we are there, we waited for a long time at one of its pathway. After a long time of waiting, we went inside the theater to watch the musical play "Isang Panaginip na Fili". The play was successfully done. I can say that it was done so well in that i have no negative comment about it. In the end of the play, when many clapped for their success, you will see in their faces their wide smiles from their hardworks. After the play, we went to Mall of Asia. It was very fun for I roamed around there with my friends. It was also very funny because for a very long time we were there, we were only able to buy chocolate and hand sanitizer from bench. We ate at Mang Inasal, and after that, we just roamed around and around and at 6 pm, we have left SM mall of Asia. While we were on our way, I kept on laughing, and I don't even know the reason behind. I can say that, that day was very tiring, yet full of fun and joy.

Divine Comedy

 

Informal Theme # 5 Blog # 5

          The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri and is seen as one of the greatest works of worl literature. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world view as it had developed in the Western Church.It is divided into three parts, the Inferno, Paradiso and Purgatorio. It is said that the last word in every cantica in the word "star".

          Inferno... The poem begins night of good Friday in the year 1300. Dante is 35 years old, it is the half of the biblical life expectancy 70. Allegorically, Inferno represents Christian soul seeing sin for what it really is. The three beast ( lion, leopard and she-wolf)  also represents three types of sins. These sins are the self-indulgent, the violent, and the malicious. These three types of sin also provide the three main divisions of Dante's Hell: Upper Hell (the first 5 Circles) for the self-indulgent sins; Circles 6 and 7 for the violent sins; and Circles 8 and 9 for the malicious sins.

          Purgatorio... Having survived the depths of Hell, Dante and Virgil ascend out of the undergloom, to the Mountain of Purgatory on the far side of the world. The Mountain is on an island, the only land in the Southern Hemisphere. The mountain has 7 terraces which represents the 7 roots of sinfulness popularly known as the 7 deadly sins.Allegorically, the Purgatorio represents the Christian life. Christian souls arrive escorted by an angel, singing in exitu Israel de Aegypto. In his Letter to Cangrande, Dante explains that this reference to Israel leaving Egypt refers both to the redemption of Christ and to "the conversion of the soul from the sorrow and misery of sin to the state of grace." So it was known that Dante and Virgil arrived hear on easter sunday.


          Paradiso... After ascension, Beatrice guides Dante through the 9 spheres of heaven. These are concentric and spherical. While the structures of the Inferno and Purgatorio were based on different classifications of sin, the structure of the Paradiso is based on the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues.  The Paradiso is consequently more theological in nature than the Inferno and the Purgatorio. However, Dante admits the vision of heaven he receives is the one that his human eyes permit him to see, and the vision of heaven found in the Cantos is Dante's own personal one.

          Scouting... I can say that our scouting this year is very exciting and very fun. It was done successfully. At first I thought it would be boring, but i was wrong. We've done a lot of parlor games in the morning. I like it so much for our teamwork would be tested through the games. It also helps us communicate with our schoolmates though not friends and not close to us. The game i joined is the one where blanket is used. There are 20 members to play and turn the blanket on it's opposite side. The next i love most is the treasure hunt. There we recited the girl scout promise and law. The part i love most are the balot eating and the basketball shooting. I didn't expect that I can shoot three times. I told them I don't know how to shoot and I can't. After I done it, they told me this  "Yan pala hindi marunong no.." Then I replied " Chamba lang yun. Hindi kasi talaga ako naglalaro niyan." Then we laughed and went to the next station. In the evening, after we had our dinner, we had our spiritual night which made me cry. It is because there was a video shown, showing the sacrifices of Jesus Christ for us humans, for humans will not be punished. The next morning, we had our morning exercise and then some games. Saliw also taught us tutting. It was very fun. After matering that, the guest speaker came. She taught us everything about cervical cancer. I knew that cancer can be transmitted even without direct contact with an infected person. Then after being taught, we went home to our houses.
