...1. DEAD STARS Pas Marquez Benitez 2. The story is about a love triangle between Alfredo, Esperanza and Julia 3. Under the tree, Alfredo was remembering what happened six weeks ago… 4. One evening, he had gone “neighbouring” with Don Julian(Alfredo’s father) to Judge del Valle’s house wherein he met Julia Salas(Judge’s sister-in-law) 5. One Sunday morning, after the mass, Esperanza indirectly asked Alfredo about the visits they did. Uneasy feeling crept into his thoughts about the girl next door(Julia). Esperanza wanted to know if Alfredo goes straight at home after mass. Alfredo realized that after every mass, he was excited to go on “neighbouring” 6. Alfredo answered untruthfully, he said he went home to work or sometimes he goes neighbouring with Don Julian to Judge del Valle’s house Esperanza dropped the topic. She believed that if a man is engaged, he could not possibly love another woman 7. Just before the Holy week, Don Julian invited Judge del Valle and his family to go in Tanda to spend their Sunday afternoon there. In Tanda, Don Julian had a coconut plantation and a house on the beach 8. Julia & Alfredo talked. There was breeze from the water. It blew Julia’s hair away on her forehead. “I hope you’re enjoying this” “Very much. It looks like home to me, except we do not have such a lovely beach” 9. As they talked, Julia said that it might be the last time that they’ll see each other. “Why did you say this is the last time?” he said quietly as they turned back...

...from his father and which were taught by his Jesuit teachers, he prepared a schedule so that he would not lose an hour: study and reading until four p.m.; four to five, exercise; five to six social and miscellaneous obligations. This careful husbanding of every minute began to show results almost at once. He began at the bottom of the school, but within a month he was "Emperor of Rome". The Ateneo had divided the students into two "empires", Roman and Carthaginian, to fight for academic supremacy. It was this war that soon brought young Rizal triumph and prizes. At the end of the first quarter he received the grade "excellent". When one of the teachers hurt his feelings he stopped trying for honors, so that at the end of the year he came out second in the school and had no prizes. Though he still had the grade "excellent", he felt like a failure, and doubtless the disappointment of his father in Calamba added to his remorse. He never did less than his best again. The second year he was first and had won nearly all the prizes and medals there were to be had. The four years in the Ateneo were a continuous pageant of brilliant...

On the age of three, Jose already learned his alphabet, how to pray, and reaching the age of 5, he can read the Holy Bible and he can also write in Spanish.
