| A Magic Moment I Remember by Alexander Pushkin
A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there.
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare.
I pray to mute despair and anguish
To vain pursuits the world esteems,
Long did I near your soothing accents,
Long did your features haunt my dreams.
Time passed- A rebel storm-blast scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.
In dark days of enforced retirement
I gazed upon grey skies above
With no ideals to inspire me,
No one to cry for, live for, love.
Then came a moment of renaissance,
I looked up- you again are there,
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that`s beautiful and rare.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?
See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

The APA Style When editors or teachers ask you to write in “APA style,” they do not mean writing style. They are referring to the editorial style that many of the social and behavioral sciences have adopted to present written material in the field.
Editorial style consists of rules or guidelines that a publisher observes to ensure clear and consistent presentation of written material. Editorial style concerns uniform use of such elements as:
- punctuation and abbreviations
- construction of tables
- selection of headings
- citation of references
- presentation of statistics
- as well as many other elements that are a part of every manuscript
The American Psychological Association has established a style that it uses in all of the books and journals that it publishes. Many others working in the social and behavioral sciences have adopted this style as their standard as well. Source: http://www.apastyle.org Removing Bias in Language Important Links For sample articles or manuscripts that use the APA style, grab any issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. Latest issues available at the Health Sciences Library of UST-Medicine Building and at the F.B. Herrera Medical Library, College of Medicine, U.P. Manila.

 Wolverine does not have what Batman, Superman, Spider-man, et al have: a claim to victimhood. In an Oprah-fied world, where everyone gets their 15 minutes to stand up and tell their sad story, the saddest would be told by those with super-powers: "I watched my parents' murder"; "My inaction led to my uncle's death"; "My home planet blew-up." There's something about the mythic "overcoming adversity" tale that looks remarkably like a path to victory by way of trauma. No one simply decides to be heroic, it's bled out of them. Cheap or not, it makes them immediately sympathetic.
Not so with Wolverine. So far we've been given a Wolverine who has certainly had heart-ache, but he's not any victim. In fact, he's the aggressor. He's chosen the path of revenge, and he's got the talents and tools to do it. Wolverine has always been the baddest kid on the block, the one who's not concerned with his rep, and because of that everyone fears and respects him. Paul Jenkins takes on this task in Wolverine: Origin, attempting to peg Logan to one single beginning that will answer the age-old questions. Except solving a mystery is never as easy as it appears, especially when that mystery is a huge part of a character’s appeal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I read this comic continuously for an hour and 45 minutes. I am so excited to read this again with somebody special. Bukas na pala yun. I wanna read it again...with him. Hep, Hep! Walang mag-re-react. =) |
