A legendary warrior





Achilles is known as a great and ruthless warrior of the Trojan war. Achilles always shows himself as an unbeatable warrior every time he faces war. He is also the greatest warrior of troy. When Achilles fight he kill his opponent merciless and brutally, just like what he did to Hector, the very noblest of all heroes. Achilles only knew how to be able to gain glory and victory, and how to stay the greatest.












One proof that Achilles is a brutal warrior is when he cut Hector's tendons and tied an ox-hide  in it, tied in his chariot and was drag around the city.










The Iliad book 22 pg.231 paragraph 520


"Achilles finished. Then the noble Hector's corpse he carried out a monstrous act. He cut through the tendons behind both feet, from heel to ankle, threaded them with ox-hide thongs, and then tied those onto his chariot, leaving the head to drag behind. He climbed up in his chariot, brought on the splendid amour, dragging Hector. A dust cloud rise above him, his dark hair spread out around him, and Hector's head, once so handsome, was covered by the dust, for Zeus had given him to his enemies to dishonor in his own native land. So all his head get dirty"

Based on these statements I conclude that Achilles is a true ruthless warrior and do not fear anything even death.

woman: a final masterpiece



"Sure God created man before woman.  But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece. " 





Whenever I hear this  saying, it  reminds me of great contributions of GREGORIA DE JESUS during the Spanish regime . She is the wife of Andres Bonifacio, the Father of the revolution. She had been a remarkable Filipina and leave an excellent mark in our history because she serves as the preserver of special documents and "selyos" of the secret group called "Katipunan"during the revolution. Gregoria de jesus is not just an ordinary woman and wife, hence She is an unsurpassed Filipino citizen. 






Truly that women are not just a wife, caring provider and nurturer of young infants and children but we should be treated in the same way we treated men and should also be respected. As the quote says "God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece"
