Plot:

 

 

Bettina Ortiz y Meña was a former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe runner-up. She chose to grace with her presence, she was always greeted with reverence and whisked to the exact table she desired at every restaurant. She wanted the corner table on the terrace at Sip Sip, her favorite lunch spot on Harbor Island but there was a large noisy group taking up the entire terrace and all dressed in all rumpled shirts and shorts, wearing those cheap straw hats sold at the trinket shot on Dunmore Street.

Feeling that she had been patient long enough, Bettina stormed into the kitchen. She was asking about what’s happening. Julie said that those people came first before she did. Bettina discovered that the man in the red cap is the Duke of Glencora. Bettina was secretly impressed to the people with the big title. She surveyed the party on the terrace. Bettina squinted through her Dior Extase sunglasses at the portly, balding, seventy-something Asian man dressed in a nondescript white short-sleeved golf shirt and gray trousers. That man is Alfred Shang. Bettina said that, the man looks like their chauffeur not until Julie said that, that chauffeur is the most powerful man in Asia.

Bettina was annoyed because her 

favorite spot was occupied with the people 

wearing cheap dress and straw hats.

 

 




Climax:

 it’s looks like their chauffeur not until Julie 

said that the man is Alfred Shang and he is 

the most powerful man in Asia.

 

 





Theme:

 


Stop being a perfectionist and never judge 

people by their appearance.

JAKE by Jim Bartlett   Jake’s eyes snap open, and he quickly turns to the side. But like his aching heart, the spot where Max always sat on the couch remains empty. He takes in a long, deep breath – really more of a sigh – and squeezes his eyes closed, hoping that by slipping into the darkness of a nap, he will temporarily mask his sorrow.  For fifteen years they were inseparable.  Always side by side. The walks on the beach with the gentle waves calling, the seagulls cawing. All those hikes on the trail where the trees canopied over like arches, wrapping them in a soft cool shade on a hot sunny day. Even just a ride to the grocery store for something Martha may have forgotten, they always went together. Though he knows that in some ways he should be thankful for just having their time together – those moments forever etched in his heart – and that the sickness took Max quickly rather than dragging out the pain for weeks, maybe even months, he still feels cheated. That someho

    HOME OF THE ASHFALL  (an excerpt) by  John Jack G. Wigley The eruption of Mount Pinatubo was recorded as the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century, and the largest eruption populated area. Ash fall affected almost the entire island of Luzon, and even reached the neighboring countries of Malaysia and Vietnam. To the Kapampangans and to the people affected by this tragedy, it would serve as a testament to their irrepressible attribute of rising about their plight and predicament. I was no longer living in Angeles City when Mt. Pinatubo erupted on June 15, 1991. I was promoted from being a crew member at Pizza Hut Dau to management trainee at Pizza Hut Harrison Plaza in December 1990. It was my first time to work in Manila. Ed Calupitan, a fellow Pizza Hut crew member now based in Manila, offered me a place to stay in his two-bedroom apartment. Weeks before the eruption, I read several news and warnings about Mt. Pinatubo. Frankly, I never knew there was a volcano in
