The Verge of Friendship
“Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water.”
-Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
There was a puppet
machine named Pola which was assigned by his creator to live along with other
kinds of machine. At first, she was confused to the kind of world where she was
about to breath but she really knew that she could through with her recent
backdrop. She took her first footstep for her first glimpse to her new home,
she knew that his creator had been with her all the way since she was like lamp
and to keep a lamp burning she have to keep the oil with her. Good thing that
his creator let her meet the Oil, this character was all she needed to survive
because this new comrade would keep her every part to function smoothly and
would keep her whole as puppet machine.
“I
never thought that staying in this strange place could be these great and easy,
thanks to you Oil”, she whispered to her new found friend. In this upside down
world, Pola and Oil had become interdependent to each other. They had each
other’s shoulders to cry on, each other’s backs to lie on and each other’s
hands to cheer on. She realized that the Oil can always put a perfect curve on
her lips. They spent most of the time, laughing and laughing.
However,
when Pola was alone, Water caught her off guard and the time she saw Water, she
knew that another character came to fill in her life. Her thought was never
failed her as always, she was right Water was her new colleague now but of
course she didn’t set aside Oil. Water kept her cool and motivated. Again, she
felt blessed to have both Oil and Water in her life; they were the same as wind
and air to her.
The
time came as expected by Pola, the two immiscible characters can’t refrain from
disputes, not like milk and water that mingle together. Both of them, let her
feel alive inside but sometimes she stayed up in a dark corner and felt
something was wrong, feeling like she was betraying her two friends. Then Pola
realized that the worst thing about her wasn’t being a puppet but being indecisive
about friendship. She could make a stand on many things but it seemed that when
it comes to friendship her brain was rusted and her mind was shut down.
There
was always a terror in elements of Oil and Water; their thundering alarm could
always lead to tears in the cloudy eyes of the puppet. “I never desired to
exist an unembellished life and I’ve never done breathing without friends.” she
told herself. But Pola must conquer her weakness if she really wanted to live
with friends it must be only a friend since Oil and Water couldn’t live on her
side together. The moment of truth would come soon and it was getting nearer, she
must learn how to speak her mind, to weigh things on her hand, and most especially
to decide for herself. And now, the judgment day is today, who will be staying
on her life?

King's Speech: An Eye Opening
A Film Worth Reflecting
 |
| King's Speech |
Yesterday, I got a chance to watch again the movie titled King's Speech. I'm not going to narrate or introduce to everyone the film since "you can just google it" right?? Instead, I will tell you the pointers that I realized as I watched the movie. And here it is...
The King’s Speech
describes the essence of public speaking and the struggles of speaker in the
moment of delivery. In the film, the character was required to present a speech
since he belongs to royal family and the speech to be delivered should be
influential to listeners and could convey an important message to his folks but
the conflict arose when the speaker exhibited a speech difficulty, he stammered
throughout the articulation. It proves that every individual regardless of his
category in society sometimes being confronted in the demand of public speaking and the setback in making the
words into action. There’s a ‘must’ in providing speech before an audience or
even expressing simple statement to others; thus, learning how to address it
effectively and outstandingly is very important to everyone and should not be
neglected.
Basically,
learning is next to teaching so teacher should be a guide in directing the
students in the correct path of delivering a speech. One of the noble
characters in the movie is the one being portrayed by the false doctor as a
speech teacher of the king, he might have nothing in his hands to prove he is a
degree holder and a certified doctor but he got all the physical evidences to
show that he is an effective teacher and a worthy speech specialist. His
presence rekindles the hope of the king that his speech difficulty could be
treated. And as future educator, I want to be like the speech therapist in the
film because for my students I should be a model and doctor. A model because
the students tend to imitate every action I made, the pronunciation of the
words, the gestures and the expressions so the time I present myself to them is
also the time of their learning and it will remind me to do best and in
perfection, it might sound hard but I ‘must’ to avoid mass reproduction of
mistakes today and beyond. And a doctor, a person the students could count in
times of hardships particularly in speaking, as a teacher I can’t assume that
all my students are exceptional of course, there are some who need hands to
mold them to be in their best so as a teacher, patience is a virtue that should
be present to continuously teach them what they should learn to overcome their
difficulty and give them courage that they can surpass such weakness. Also, as
an educator I need to be in full battle gear meaning I should have weapons or
so-called tools to help students in aiding their impediment such as reciting a
tongue twisters and physical exercises. Teacher alone can’t address all the
speech difficulties suffered by the students; the family members have a great
role in this matter, they should be the primary supporters of the learners to
give encouragement and strength throughout the curing process.
The
film reveals that all people have their own weaknesses even you are the most
influential person in the world or the poorest among the rags, you are not
exempted but the good thing is there are always answers for those weaknesses. As
I watched the movie, I see myself to B-B-B-Bertie the only difference is that I
didn’t stammer instead sometimes I didn’t have time to take pauses and I can’t
abruptly pronounce the sounds of –p and –f; I know their difference but
occasionally I interchanged those critical sounds in the moment of articulating
