Judgement of Paris: Aphrodite, Hera and Athena

The story Iliad and the Oddesy has offered a lot of lives. Ancient people were brutal to the point that on a battlefield life should be sacrificed. The judgement of Paris in which Aphrodite was hungry to own the title is somewhat the same as today. Some girls are too famished to be recognized that they have the "beauty", to the extent that they'll do anything just like what Aphrodite did. They buy makeup products just for them to be attractive, they wear kinky outfits for them to look appealing and easy on the eye.

 What Aphrodite did just for her to own the apple was to grant Paris' longing wish in which he would have the love of his life, Helen. Even if Helen has a husband already.

Of course, knowing that your wife has been taken away, you would do anything just for you to get your wife back. Even if it would hurt many. You'll be willing to sacrifice everything for the person you love. 

For me, you don't need to buy some beauty enhancers for you to be called gorgeous. Because today, only a few have captivating souls that are out of this world. It's hard to find charming attitudes and charismatic personalities. Seeing that they have these three, they should've been unusual and rare so better approach someone who have these.

Is Trojan War a Fallacy or a Factuality?

War shows us to be strong than we ever thought we would be, it tests our mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and other aspects that are required in a trial. There are no winners in a war unless there is a survivor, so you need to be all out on the battlefield. You have to sacrifice something for you to live. Beyond changes may have been created a war. Some people who are under with that situation doesn't have any choice than to fight in the battle



The Greek poet Homer was born sometime between the 12th and 8th centuries BC, possibly somewhere on the coast of Asia Minor. He is famous for the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, which have had an enormous effect on Western culture, but very little is known about their alleged author. Scholars believed that behind the stories that were tackled, there must be a grain of historical truth. A journalist named Charles Malaren was a believer he is a journalist and a geologist. Malaren was the first one to publish a detailed topographical study of the place named Hisarlik, which is derived from the Turkish word "fortress". Before he could explore any further, during that time the Crimean War broke. After the war has ended, he began to survey the site, but he lacked the funds for excavation. But then an archeologist Heinrich Schliemann came in. Heinrich excavated since he was eager to find the ancient city. He dug all the way to the base of the hill, and there he found a lot of precious artifacts. Heinrich took the credit for the discovery. But they later realized that the mound has consisted of 9 cities. And scholars still dispute whether the Trojan War as described by Homer ever happened. Yet the evidence is strong enough that UNESCO has labeled Hislark the archeological site of Troy.



Life has given us challenges and it has no choices, it goes out to anybody. So for you to solve this you just need to see it from different angles. You don't need to plant hatred from yourself because it won't help you, instead, you should convert your problems into a stepping stone for you to become a strong person. We want to live in peace so we must not create chaos. Let the right thing rule and be an ideal model this world needs. And yes indeed, big matters come from small points.


We don't actually know if the Trojan War is real or not but it left us lessons, we should always think first before doing some insane stuff that could lead everyone including yourself in danger. It's normal to create mistakes but we should repent in facing the consequences.

Kinonsidera ang Dance sports na isang pampalakasan dahil ang mga katangian nito ay binubuo ng pisikal na lakas, liksi, koordinasyon, tibay, disiplina, pagtutulungan ng kanyang kasamahan, istilo at interpretasyon sa musika. Ang mga mananayaw ay dapat pagsamahin ang pang atleta sa sining upang makakagawa ng isang tunay na kaakit- akit na pagganap sa entablado. May mga panuntunan din ang dance sports kung saan, bawal magkaroon nang kabigat bigat na make up sa babae, at pati na rin sa alituntunin nang kanilang kasuotan.

Sa araw ng ika dalawamput anim ng Septyembre, sinimulan ang paligsahan sa mabuting pagdalo sa Senior High School Principal na si Dr Francisca Tomarong Uy, para sa isang mainit at masalamuhang pagbati sa mga hurado at sa ibat- ibang paaralan na dumapo at sumali sa patimpalak.

Naging isang mahirap na hamon ang pinagdaanan ng mga dance sporters dahil naka bilad sila sa init ng maraming minuto habang sumasayaw at nagbibigay todo upang makuha ang parangal upang papatungo na sila para sa Division Meet 2019, sapagka’t sa ACT school ground ito naganap. Inumpisahan ito sa Latin American-chacha na may kabilang na tatlong kalahok at sinundan din ito ng mga kalahok sa sekudaryo. Sakabila naman sina Aaron at Aisha ay naghahanda na sa kanilang sayaw dahil sila lang ang magrerepresenta sa Talisay District 2 para sa Division Meet 2019. Lahat nang mata ng mga tao ay nasa kanila pati na rin sa mga hurado. Parang naging isang intermission ito dahil wala silang ibang kalaban kung di ang init lamang. Ang unang sayaw nila sa kayang pares ay chacha, sinundan ng samba at pagkatapos ay jive. Sabi nga ni Aaron “hindi ako kinabahan sa kompetasyon, ngunit kinabahan ako dahil napakaraming tao at ang mga mata nila’y nasa aming dalawa lang” Ang unang dance sport na sinalihan ni Aaron ay nung ACT Intramurals 2018 at nakuha rin niya ang golden na medalya.

Sinundan din sila sa sekundaryo na may tatlong kalahok, dalawa mula sa Asian College of Technology at ang isa naman ay nag mula sa Montery School. Mas mabigat din itong pagsubok dahil nag-uunahan din sila sa isa pang kalahok habang sumasayaw sa init ng araw, at pinapakita nila ang ensaktong expresyon sa mukha habang sumasayaw sa dyanra ng Latin American. Sina Alexis Balongag at Anne Pauline Tan (Junior High School) ay nakakuha ng tansong medalya (3^rd place) at ang taga Monterey School naman ay nakakuha ng pilak na medalya (2^nd place), habang ang nakakuha ng gintong medalya (1^st place) ay nag mula parin sa ACT Senior Highschool na sina Lovely Beth Villoria at si Lexter Carias. Hindi din inakala ng mga Asianistas na ang pares sa Senior High School sa ACT ay kandedato pala sa CVRAA noong 2018, dahil ibang eskwelahan pa raw ang kanilang nirepresenta noong taon na iyon. Nakita talaga na may koordinasyon silang dalawa at parang sanay na sanay na talaga sila sa kanilang mga ginagawa at dahil doon nakuha rin nila ang kanilang gantimpala na kung saan sila ang representante para sa Talisay 2 Division Meet 2019 at gayundin sa mga nakakuha ng medalya. Talagang palaban ang mga Asianistas. Ang sayaw ay tiyak na isang pampalakasan, at sila ay mga nakamamanghang atleta, at pati na rin artista sa sining, Fly High Asianistas!
