fantasy island episode 1
2 weeks have passed since we made landfall. The men has grown frustrated over our endless search for a perfect spot for a permanent settlement. To protect us from the forces of nature, we have to install makeshift tents and defenses out of earth and mud wherever we decide to rest our feet. In our seemingly endless march into the interior of the jungle, one of the men, a scientist identified several plants found in our trail and proclaims that he discovered a new entire set of species. I found him quite peculiar trying to document every find we stumble upon. For the rest of the crew, thanks to God, non of the men are sick. This tropical weather haven't seem to penetrate our bodies. Amidst the physical burden the men are enduring i know they still hold dear in the hope of finding a permanent place for a settlement. A place where the river meets the sea and where the ground holds riches we can cultivate. I'm still gripping the flag pole of the king hoping that soon this utopia will be on sight, then i can the proudly plant the flag permanently.

fantasies do help
the seemingly mystical and out of this world fantasies encountered in this semestral break comes to a complete halt when a realized; my golly! one more day to go and it's back to college life! Normally in this point in time, i am opt to feel a lingering sense of excitement crawling up my system like always before school days but i sense a placid blank inside me. I'm still searching why the magic seems to disappear! After a few surf in the net and opened a few self-help, student and study sites, i struck gold when this simple thought came to my mind; (another one of my fantasies, kinda addicted about this) I'm a conquistador who discovered a fairly large island. Talk about fantasies! I try to think that the incoming semester is another island waiting to be explored and discovered in my serene quest for the "fountain of wisdom". With my band of loyal soldiers, a flag of my king and a cross of Christ, let us see if the island is inhabited by peaceful natives or cannibal savages. Let us climb its highest peak to see the entirety of the island and judge the best place for a settlement. Let us look down in the soil and rivers and gather the resources hidden from view. Let us also cultivate and domesticate the surrounding areas and creatures for the settlement. At the end of this great day, this semester may be the island i am looking for, the island that houses the great fountain of wisdom I greatly seek. Now i can feel it, that sense of excitement consuming my system. Okeedowkee. Bye for now.
