Bagong Kaibigan

(Ang maikling kwentong ito ay mula sa panulat ni G. Bernard Umali)

May napulot akong papel. Nakasulat doon na may matatagpuan daw akong isang kaibigan. Kinakailangan ko raw sumakay para matagpuan ito. Umuwi ako agad sa amin dahil baka naroon na ang kaibigang tinutukoy sa papel.

Sumakay ako sa likod ng kabayo pero wala doon ang bagong kaibigan. Binuksan ko ang binatana at nakita ko ang aming hardin. Maraming halaman at insekto doon. Masaya silang naglalaro pero hindi ko sila maintindihan. Lumabas ako sa likod-bahay at nagpunta sa dagat. Sumakay ako ng bangka upang hanapin ang aking kaibigan pero walang ibang tao sa dagat. Ah alam ko na. Sumisid ako sa ilalim ng dagat, sumakay ako sa likod ng dolphin at doon nakita ko ang iba’t-ibang hayop at halaman, pero hindi ako mabubuhay doon. Kaya bumalik na lamang ako sa amin.

Gabi na ng makauwi ako. Mula sa aking silid ay may natanaw ako na maliwanag sa langit. Mayroong isang bituin na ubod ng laki. Ahah! Pupuntahan ko ang bituin. Kumapit ako sa lobo  at pinuntahan ko ito. Pero walang tao roon. Mula sa itaas ay tanaw na tanaw ko ang daigdig na bilog at nagliliwanag. Ang ganda ng kulay. Para itong bolang umiilaw. May kulay bughaw, luntian at kulay lupa. Naisip kong bumalik na, mula sa itaas ay nagpalundag-lundag ako sa mga ulap, ang sarap! Parang mga bulak! Nagpadulas ako sa bahaghari! Subalit wala pa rin akong kalaro kaya gumamit ako ng isang malaking payong at ginawa kong parachute. Napunta ako sa kagubatan. Doon ay nagpupulong ang mga hayop. Hindi ko sila maintindihan kaya bumalik na ako sa amin sakay-sakay ng isang elepante. Maya-maya ay kinalabit na ako ni inay.

“Gising na anak, may pasok ka ngayon”

“Nay, nanaginip ako na may makikilala akong bagong kaibigan!”

“Oo, meron nga, doon sa inyong paaralan kaya gumising ka na at darating na angschool bus.“

May Katapusan din ang mga Bagay na Walang Kabuluhan Gaya ng mga Importanteng Bagay

ISANG ARAW, may isang lalaking nakakita ng isang magandang babae. At tumibok ang kanyang puso. Akala niya'y tumigil ang oras at nawalan ng saysay ang lahat ng bagay sa lupa. Maliban sa isa. Maliban sa kanya.Pero, chebers lang itong si bebot. Baka raw kasi magalit si Jesus. O ang nanay niya. Eniwei, chebers lang talaga siya. Wala siyang pakialam.      At naging magkaibigan rin naman sila. Korni naman kung hindi, di ba? Tapusin na natin ang kwento kung hindi. Eniwei, nagkikita rin naman sila minsan. Kwentuhan. Texting. Yung mga ganoong ka-kornihan. Magkaibigan. Parang ganoon pero para ring hindi. At lumipas ang ilang taon...      Ilusyunado pa rin si lalaki, wala namang paki si babae. At natapos din ang lahat. Dahil may katapusan naman talaga ang lahat. Hindi naka-porma si lalaki kay babae. Gusto niyang mag-mongha. Pero hindi, parang ganoon lang. Baka raw kasi magalit si Jesus. O ang nanay niya. At dahil hindi siya nanonood ng sine, nakaipon siya ng sapat na pera para bumili ng bagong celfone. At hindi niya pinaalam kay lalaki para hindi na siya makapag-text sa kanya. Oks lang naman kay lalaki. Putangina niya, sabi ni lalaki, habang nakatingin kay babaeng may ka-holding hands sa esem. Oha. Ayaw lang pala talaga sa kanya, kung ano-ano pa ang ginawang dahilan. Tangina, ang korni ng dalawang ito, sa isip-isip niya. Pero sa totoo, inggit lang siya. O naiinis. Pero ok lang. Tama nang sa ilang sandali ng kanyang buhay ay naramdaman niya ang pag-ibig. Parang ganoon pero hindi. Pakshet, sa isip-isip niya.

English literature is the literature written in the English language, including literature composed in English by writers not necessarily from England; for example, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Joseph Conrad was Polish, Dylan Thomas was Welsh, Edgar Allan Poe was American, V.S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad, and Vladimir Nabokov was Russian, but all are considered important writers in the history of English literature. In other words, English literature is as diverse as the varieties and dialects of English spoken around the world. In academia, the term often labels departments and programmes practicing English studies in secondary and tertiary educational systems. Despite the variety of authors of English literature, the works of William Shakespeare remain paramount throughout the English-speaking world.

American literature is the written or literary work produced in the area of the United States and its preceding colonies. For more specific discussions of poetry and theater, see Poetry of the United States and Theater in the United States. During its early history, America was a series of British colonies on the eastern coast of the present-day United States. Therefore, its literary tradition begins as linked to the broader tradition of English literature. However, unique American characteristics and the breadth of its production usually now cause it to be considered a separate path and tradition.

Chemistry: Foreign Chemist

Democritus (460-370B.C.)-Greek philosopher, Developed atomic theory, -Elaborated idea that matter consisted of atoms having physical size and shape which constantly moved in a void and interacted in different waysDaniel Rutherford (1749-1819)-Discovered Nitrogen through experimentation with a mouse, a candle, and burning phosphorusRobert Boyle (1627-1691)-English physicist and chemist, Experimented in pneumatics (the study of mechanical properties of air and other gases), Through research he rejected the accepted definition of matter, -Proposed Boyle’s Law (1662)Henry Canvendish (1731-1810)-English physicist and chemist, Discovered hydrogen (1766), Discovered nitric acidJohn Dalton (1766-1844)-English chemist and physicist, Professor of mathematics and natural philosophy (1793), Developed atomic theory, His theory (1805) accounts for the law of conservation of mass, law of definite proportions, and law of multiple proportions, Produced the first table of atomic weightsAmedeo Avogadro (1776-1856)

-His hypothesis stated that equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, had the same amount of molecules, Avogadros number is 6.022e23, meaning that exactly 12 grams of carbon 12 has exactly 6.022e23 carbon atomsJoseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778-1850)-French chemist and physicist, Developed the law of volumes concerning the combination of gases, Discovered BoronRobert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811-1899)-German chemist, Helped develop the spectroscope, Introduced the Bunsen burner that was actually developed by his laboratory assistant, Peter Desaga, Discovered elements Cesium and RubidiumDmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907)-Russian chemist, Developed the periodic table by placing the elements in order of increasing atomic weight (1869), Predicted the existence and properties of elements that would fill the gaps left in his chart (1871), These elements were discovered between 1875 and 1885Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940)-English physicist, Researched atomic structure, Discovered that atoms contained particles which he called "electrons" by testing the ratio of cathode ray particles to their mass and found out that they were always the same. The tube was full of negatively charged particles eventually from his name called electrons., Developed the "plum pudding" or "raisin muffin," model of the atom which consisted of electrons embedded in a positive sphere of matter (1904), Received Nobel Prize for physics (1907), Developed the mass spectrograph with Francis William Ason (1919)Robert Andrews Milikan (1868-1953)-American physicist, Succeeded in measuring, quite accurately, the minimum electric charge that could be carried by a particle (1911), Found charge of an electron through oil-drop experiment, Made an apparatus that allowed drops of oil to fall between two electrically charged plates, He monitored the drops and measured how the voltage affected their rate of fall, From this, he calculated the charges on the drops, which were always multiples of 1.60E-19C, This number, he found, is the charge of one electron
