the flea

Here are some pictures we used in the video Darsi, April and I made for the interpretation of our poem The Flea by John Donne which is actually a project by the goddess professor Jhoanna Cruz last semester under British Literature I:

 

Now, we’re taking up British Literature II under another John–John Bengan. It’s obviously a level 2 of the course but the way it was taught was way different. Both are actually good teachers.

John Donne’s The Flea is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, of all of his poems. It is a metaphysical poem which makes use of a metaphysical conceit. A conceit is like a metaphor or more likely a comparison between to objects or ideas that would seem awkward at first glance. Take for instance in The Flea, Donne made a conceit of between the flea and marriage. Or the flea and love perhaps. Or virginity, I’d daresay.

Professor De Ungria casually remarked that it’s quite easy to make conceits. You just have to think of two unlikely things to be connected and connect them with perfect sense. Yes, I thought “Easy for him to say, he’s a famous poet already” but then again, it made me think. I really am hoping to join the Dumaguete National Writers Workshop this summer. Why not try it, right? I like metaphysical poetry.

I don’t think I can give you a close reading of The Flea. I’d rather have you figure out the meaning of the poem. Yeah, I know I’m such a kill-joy. But on the contrary, you might actually thank me for letting you enjoy the feeling of having to figure out Donne’s poem by yourself.

Trust me, it’s an exhilarating experience.

You simply avail to their domain registration services and you’re good to go. What’s good in their service is that it’s really cheap. In special conditions, you can actually avail of their discounts.

I really find it amazing having your own name registered in the internet. It allows you a sense of ownership and trademark. It’s having a wonderful address for your own website or blog. I, myself, would really like to avail of domain registration for minimum price!

I really feel envious to my Computer Engineering and Computer Science friends who can manage to have their own domains in the internet. Wow! I would really congratulate them for that. I don’t think they avail of this domain registration site. I think it’s really what they study in class. Good for them.

But for us who dream of acquiring our own domain name and could actually spare only little cash, I guess this site is one of the best options.

lightings shop

Some of my Architecture student friends were quite busy last night drafting their dream houses for their finals. They really have to be very precise at the structure and the kind of material that they’d be putting in the house. Their professor would scrutinize the quality of everything, I mean everything!

One of my friend, Oliver, seem to linger in the lighting fixtures. We talked a while about the site I happen to pass by that deals with lighting fixtures. The site is perfect if you’re looking for the right chandeliers or any other lighting fixtures you may need in you house.

The site actually offers a good bargain. Low prices but the products are from the top manufacturers. The website is very visitor-friendly. Visitors can easily search and shop by light fixture brand, application or style. They seem to have the perfect lights to match to your application.

The home lightings showcased are really impressive. You would have to admire the complete sets of light fixtures there all for grabs. From bathroom light fixtures to kitchen light fixtures, it’s all there. It just goes to show that the best lightings are just a click away.
