Tree

My tree is a "Circus Tree"


A circus tree is actually a natural growing tree, it can be any kind of tree that was modified to look unique from any other tree. It was created by Axel Erlandson, a bean farmer. For example, to make this "Basket Tree" arborsculpture, Erlandson planted six sycamore trees in a circle and then grafted them together to form the diamond patterns.Erlandson was very secretive and refused to reveal his methods on how to grow the Circus Trees and carried the secrets to his grave.




This tree is like me. We are both unique and made differently. There's nothing in nature exactly alike with me. It is also priceless and cannot be made again like me. Even in the future,my CLONES can never be 100% like me. Even my parent, they can make another Kitkit. And one thing for sure, you can never forget this tree and even ME!

Sonnet 116


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.

a. Recalling
1. "....Love is not love"
"Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks..."
"Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,.."
2."That looks on tempest and is never shaken"
    "Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken"
     "It is the star to every wandering bark"

b. Interpreting


What is the measuring of the image star in lines 7-8? How does this image apply to love? 

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken- Whose value cannot be counted, although it's loftiness can be limited


C. Extending

Do you agree or disagree with the speaker's interpretation of love? Why or why not?

Yes, I do agree. Because all of us already felt this kind of love. A kind of love that would never leave you. It is God's love. It is the bright morning star that lights up every dull morning and cheers up the weak and lonely.

Conversation: Laziness

Me: Good morning Ma'am. Did you call for me?

Ma'am: Yes, I did call for you. The reason is you are not updating your blogs. Why?

Me: Ma'am, the main reason is LAZINESS.

Ma'am: As usual, most of the students I asked has that kind of answer. What are you doing during weekends?

Me: Nothing important. During Saturdays I play games on my computer for almost the whole day. And.....

Ma'am: You're in front of the computer the whole day and yet you're not doing your blogs! By the way what happens to your Sundays?

Me: Every Sunday morning, I go to our Church from 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon and gets home at 2:00 PM. And from 2 PM to 10 PM, I'm in front of the computer playing.

Ma'am: What a nice schedule you got there! All you do is relax and relax and not worrying about anything. Kitkit change yourself. Be productive. Don't be too lazy. Do your blogs.

Me: Okay Ma'am. I'll try.

Ma'am: Good. You may now leave.
