DEGONEM
ARTINES
AUTHOR:
DARYLL DELGADO
CHARACTER (S):
NENITA, NENITAS HUSBAND
AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS
MOST INTERESTING PART:
For me the most interesting part is when Nenita still loves her
husband. Even though his husband fell out of love and he
cheated, Nenita didnt mind at all because she loves him so much
even if it hurts.
ENDING:

When Nenita thought she heard her husbands beautiful voice so

she imagined herself as a young woman and she was dancing
with her handsome husband. But then she realized that it was not
real and she misses his husband a lot.
REFLECTION:
For me, Nenitas decision was wrong. After being cheated on she
still gave her husband a chance. A woman like her should not
waste time on a guy who isnt loyal. I pity her, she shouldnt feel
sad about her lost and she needs to forget about the past then
move on.
Virtual Center
AUTHOR:
Raissa Claire U. Rivera
CHARACTER(S):
Deila, Nick, Mariel, Reggie, Art, Bert
MOST INTERESTING PART:
The interesting part in this story is about the Virtual Center. It is
actually amazing because you can live in the world forever and
the best part is, your age gets high but your face never gets old.
ENDING:
Art and Delia escaped Manila and went to an abandoned island.
Delia got pregnant by Art but she was worried about the baby
inside her. She wanted to give her baby to have the best life
possible. But it all ended with questions. Questions about what

will happen to them or what is the best way to live. She could not
decide.

REFLECTION:
I like the plot of the story but if it was in reality I would probably
hate the world. They should not take our freedom from us and
control our lives. One thing, I dont want to get chased by robots
just because I did something wrong. Sometimes too much
technology in the world is not good for the people.
Waiting
AUTHOR:
Ron Darvin
CHARACTER(S):
Isabel, Miguel, Roberto, Miguels Grandmother
MOST INTERESTING PART:
The interesting part in the story when Isabel caught his husband
cheating on her. I really wasnt expecting that part, I never
thought Roberto would cheat on his wife who worked hard for
their family. Wow this is how he repays his wife eh?
ENDING:

Isabel and Roberto separated in the end. Miguel hated his mom
and told her that it was all her faul and he was tired of waiting. All
he wanted was a happy family but he thinks he doesnt have one.

REFLECTION:
Having a parent who is in abroad is never easy, you feel sad
because theres someone youve been missing. But if I were
Miguel, I would understand my mom. She worked really hard for
my needs and maybe the time will really come for everything.
Everythings worth a wait.
FLICKER FADE GONE
AUTHOR:
Carljoc Javier
CHARACTER(S):
The gamer boy and his Princess Toadstool
MOST INTERESTING PART:
When he meet the girl who caught his attention. I never thought
the gamer boy in the story would fall in love.
ENDING:
The gamer realized that the graphic world wasnt for him, so he
disappeared and didnt come back to the arcade.

REFLECTION:
I was confused with the story, but I think it tells us the video
games are not good for people. It makes a person believe in to
fantasy than to reality. They need to spend more time in
socializing people around them and not in video games.
Martines
AUTHOR:
Ana Felicia Sanchez
CHARACTER(S):
Totoy, Richard, Tatay Onsing, Stranger, Farmers
MOST INTERSTING PART:
Is about the Martines. At first, I thought the Martines whom Totoy
always mention was a person or an owner of a mansion but I was
really shocked when I found out that it was a bird a very big bird.
ENDING:
Totoy brought Richard to his destiny which was living with the
Martines. Totoy and Tatay Onsing left Richard behind and they
didnt come back for him.
REFLECTION:
I think Richard deserved his destiny because hes an arrogant
man and hated his cousins beliefs. But on the other Totoy should

have told Richard about his destiny not in a way of forcing him, he
should have known what his cousins decision.
Turban legend

AUTHOR:
R. Zamora Linkmark
CHARACTER(S):
Vince, Jing
MOST INTERESTING PART:
When Jing told a story about a man who went inside the balikbayan boxes just to go home in the Philippines but sad to say the
man died.
ENDING:
Vince was still in the airport and about the story he heard he
didnt believes it because it was impossible but then Jing
explained that the story tells us that Filipinos will do everything
just to see their love ones.
REFLECTION:
The story shows that Filipinos are really kind-hearted and hardworking, they will work in abroad just to provides the needs of
their family in the Philippines. Even though its hard to be away
from their family, they will still find ways to interact and see them.
