.... dressed in women’s clothes to conceal his gender. The earth truly became a man’s world, for there was no female species in existence in that land. The women’s arrival to Helrac highlighted the absence of men, but as women often do, they forget about them. Helrac were furnished with similar surroundings but governed by ten-armed, one-eyed, green citizens. In this surrounding women were the aliens, and the citizens became more attractive to them as men became blurred in their mind. Helrac had similar transportation with more advanced technology, houses were compact, and the imaginary streets were infested with " absolute stop " signs with the subscript " v .....

.... My dad recalled that the bicycle was the smallest he could find. I remember how gigantic it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle remained in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it. After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no dought that my dad told everybody no .....

.... only got to eat bananas on Tuesdays and Saturdays, the rest of the days they were forced to eat celery. This irritated to the extreme that they would rather be let free from the monkey house and fend for themselves rather than put up with a few restrictions which were placed on their lives. One day in the monkey house, however, there was a change that was not pleasing to at all. A letter was left on the door of the monkey house which read as follows: Dear Monkeys, You guys have got to start helping out a little bit, because we are tired of helping you do everything. From now on, when we feed you bananas, its your responsibility to pick up your banana p .....

.... that dragons are a fire hazard. Dr. Steven Ossafat, the head of the Organization of Determining Fires, has declared that "dragons are the cause of 30 percent of Americas fires". The O.D.F. considers the purchase of a dragon plain stupidity. However, dragons should be acknowledged as good housepets because they are very useful. Dragons are very useful to lift heavy objects. They are the strongest animals on earth. Dragons have been known to be great help for moving families and incredible help for the elderly. Forty percent of dragon owners are considered to be at an elderly age, and find dragons quite helpful in their last years. Ninet .....

.... or should not do. I often find myself in situations in which I must be the one to decide if, for instance, I should go to a party or to the bars, or stay home and concentrate on the massive amounts of homework that have piled up. It is at times like these when Mr. Anderson's words of advice float though my head. The one I hear Mr. Anderson saying most often in the back of my mind is one that, until now, I always thought he created. I say this because all of the other morals were obvious ones that, if I had not already heard, I eventually came to hear quite often. Until I actually went through the list of quotes at the back of the play Hamlet, I automatical .....

.... to the long grass surrounding us. Then again, it could just been the freedom of knowing that we were listening to the walkman that was banned from school, and we weren't getting caught. What ever it was, it doesn't matter because analyzing something takes away the feeling it gives when you think about it. It was just a great place, and it made me happy, and I don't know why. That makes it better in a way, just knowing that it had that power. Everyday, I would meet with a friend at the drain-pipe. That is until a teacher found us and told us that because we didn't have any adult supervision, we couldn't eat there anymore. It felt terrible. I wanted .....

.... to Cebu, in the hotel, the waiter came in to ask me something about my room. First, I was shock, then I used Chinese to answer her. The waiter was kind too. She started using Spanish, Japanese, French to answer me, but he never used Chinese. If he used Chinese, then that will be the time for me to reply. I run to my father's room, crying, and telling that someone is in my room and I doesn't know why he was there. After my father solved the problem for me. We were all laughing about it. My father said, "In the Philippines, eating with hands are their culture, you will never see this in Taiwan." In Taiwan, everybody use chopsticks to eat. Nobody will use spoo .....

.... under my command. The office and staff work like a well oiled machine. All components together to reach a common goal. Reality sets in, stress is a natural part of life. Living in an ideal world with no stress or problems is boring. Anger and stress add spice and excitement to life. People always deal with stress everyday. I am no exception and either is the future. Coworkers cheery and happy enters my thoughts when dreaming of the future. Miscommunications and misunderstandings are unheard of. Every individual is nice to each other and no one is ever upset.
