Falling leaves
In both of the story Love in the Cornhusks and in the Virgin I noticed that both the writers are trying to convey something, its something I don’t understand its like a girl thing. As discussed in class the characters in the story are less romanticized compared to male writers. In Love in the Cornhusk and The Virgin the main characters namely Tinang and Miss Mijares are bound by circumstantial situations they can’t do pretty much nothing about it, in what had happened to there lives. They are forced to decide or they don’t have enough choices with there lives. Another thing I noticed that the authors emphasize on is the social factors that surround the characters, all in all both stories are interesting specially the virgin, it made me realize that girls can be very desperate when they rich there prime and still haven’t felt love.
Well I think this thing happen right here right now. Let’s face it not every story in this world end like fairy tales sometimes it doesn’t ends happily ever after. Sometimes we do things that in the future will see our backs against the wall because of love. These things I mean what happen to Ms. Mejares and Tinang also happens to the opposite sex but in a different circumstances like for example when a guy gets his girl pregnant certain situation will arise but the difference is that guys, how may I say this sometimes guys can set aside there emotions so they can make certain choices in there life. In the example I made I can see two probable choices for that guy he could either take the responsibility or just ran away. But in the story the girls get to emotional and think about what other people says so, I cant tell if they made the right decision or not but come to think of it wasn’t really a forced choice for them, but the fact that they are girls maybe there something in to it, more than what I can tell. It’s a girl thing hehe
The moral that I can tell is that when you are prepared to fall in love be ready to feel heaven and also be prepared to feel hell. As I told not all love stories end up happily believe me I can tell. But when things get rough there always a backdoor. Also when making life changing decisions in life always and I mean ALWAYS think 3 moves ahead

Good But Not Good Enough But Still Good Though
First of all, the story Smaller and Smaller circles is an interesting story. To be honest it’s the first Filipino novel I ever read and finish. It’s quite good for an investigative genre, but the downfall of it is that it’s too predictable. It has nothing special in it that made me kinda disappointed. Another thing that I didn’t like is that the main investigators of the crime are priests, its weird that’s me anyway and there like sidekicks of some sort (like come on people were so use to this). Saenz is the man that is more likely Gil Grisome of C.S.I. and Jerome is like the ever trustful sidekick. I always see this kinda of things in investigative nobles its becoming cliché already, and there priest for crying out loud priest like come on.
Some things that I observed are that the setting in the story is the Philippines but its not like the Philippines, the places are found in the Philippines but there ambiance is not Philipinish, its like; its happening here but the difference is that American people are the characters. It’s just to westernize the concept, plot down to the characters its kinda annoying. The most annoying part is when this dude talks and described like a surfer dude and a some kind of a black American combined. Where did that came from?That’s sick, it just doesn’t fit.
What makes this type of stories interesting is the way the investigators get to solve the case, like how they put the puzzle pieces in the right place. But in our story’s case they got a lead from a reporter. This is the main reason why I got disappointed in the story. I give credit to the author in giving a good description about the way the serial killer do his thing it was gory and nice.
The serial killer Alex Carlos was kinda awkward for a Pilipino. I think that when we get angry about something we get revenge with the person we hate or something. In Alex case he kills helpless children again it’s not pilipinish. But he kills his victims in such a cool way I give him a perfect 10 for that especially the way he cuts the face of the children that sick.
The moral of this story is that not all doctors are good some of them are out to get us so be afraid be very afraid!
