The opened capsule was tight and warm. The frame enclosed in my body was irritable and I feel naked with my shoes off. In a lying position, I tried to look at my feet but the doctor in-charge avoided me to do so and push my head down. I had really wondered what I looked like in that capsule. I could saw my body enclosed in a frame and belts holding my arms and waist tight but i could not picture out what my feet looked like. I couldn't even feel that those were still part of me. My thoughts were distracted when the turbine over my head started to rotate and produced a hissing sound of an engine. The capsule then slowly closed and lights were turned on inside. I could still hear the doctor in-charge reminded me " Let your mind go blank". As the capsule completely closed, I also closed my eyes hoping that something better would happen than being on this body - disabled and rotting inside.
Dark
I had been crippled and been living because of war. One day, I woke up in a hospital. I could not move my legs. I had felt that I am very weak that i could not even raise a toe. Later on, doctors put me on a wheelchair. The wheels were heavier to move and using it made me very uncomfortable. I made a little ride from my bed to the first window outside my room. Everything had been changed now. I felt like crying, my chest was heavy and the whole morning seemed to pity me. everything was different except for the early mist of the morning, the melodious tone of the birds, and the world I knew is not what it was before.
Light
I woke up inside a tent on a bed with faces over my head. the light hurt my eyes
but I could feel a different sensation. I scanned the environment as well as my body and found out that my arms and legs were different. My skin's color was blue and i felt heavier. My hair was long and my ears were longer than normal and were pointed. my nose were my different and I felt comfortable after few minutes. I had kept in my mind that this body was not me. Unintentionally, while I tried to move , I fall from the bed and landed on my feet. I know what it feels whenever I tried to stand up from my wheelchair. I just keep on stumbling and falling but this time my mind told me that I can stand and I had! I'm very excited that I shouted loudly with my new vocal cords, " I can stand!". The people around me seemed to panic but I don't care.
"Stop him!".
I ran outside the tent. The cold soil on my feet and everything was smaller around me. This was what it as before. I had felt the greatness inside me and ran straight. I could hear the stamping of my feet. I reached the pavement of the camp and met a robot carrying a load. I avoided it swiftly with me great new feet and ran faster. then, I came to the grasses and those tickled my feet. Wind met me and I could picture out myself as a happy child running to get a free balloon with my long hair wavering behind me. I suddenly stopped at the bushes and I could hear my heart beating rapidly. I breathed heavily and bend down to breath in some air. I bend back and breathed in more air. I can smell the freshness of the soil and grasses, the coldness brought by the wind from rushing torrents, and the scent of the tall and big woods and trees. Everything was different now except for the hissing sound of the grass and leaves moved by the wind, the sound of the jungle not far away, the clouds as light as the earth's when it was first made, and the new world ,fresh and green, seemed to be waiting for me - a world where I could find myself revived and comfortable.

3rd week of January twenty 10
What really had I learned? I learned where to draw courage whenever I fail my exams. I learned how to budget my allowance. I had learned calculations in chemistry and I learned how to blog and shout what i have in mind. Above all of this, I learned how to learn. It is of course to listen and swallow my pride. For me, that would be the most appropriate way of learning. I realized that I am not alone in this world and I could listen from others and learned from them. I realized this when I noticed the quotation "Learn to see what others see and feel what they feel about you so that you may learn from them of who you are". Those were what I had learned. And I am glad because there was no Math subject. Hey I am just a beginner and these are all in my mind right now.I wanted to sleep a whole day if I like to retain what I had learned.
2nd week of January twenty10
We could never call realization as learning unless someone taught you. this week I found out more than i had learned. I found out that staying over the night will make you tired for the rest of the week. I had also found out how little knew about computers and Ma'am de Ocampo told us that we could earn money through blogging.I had bright insights about blogging and ,as the movies I saw this week,i feel i could grasp those. I had also found out that I am not the only one who is struggling in class. what I learned are far more different from those I found out. If someone taught me, I learned, but whenever they teaches me I do not listen so i did not learn. It is ,of course, out of the campus. I mean things I had read , wrote and did everyday are the things I had learned from each week. I had learned many things this week but no as many as what I had found out.I could not recall all of those but at least i had wrote something.
