Aida Rivera- Love in the Cornhusk

43 comments:

  1. "True love waits”, that’s what they say but I don’t think so. The story tells about lovers who were far from each other for a certain reason but being hopeless, the girl married another man.I cannot blame the girl for what she did besides, she waited for so long but the man did not return and forgot his promise to come back as soon as possible. People change and maybe the girl realized that they were not really meant for each other since she suffered too much pain. It was the fault of the man in the story for not returning as he promised because If he really valued her, he wont let her wait for too long. If you really love someone, you would find a way to see her/him again no matter how many obstacles will block your way. Past is past anyway, we are the one who is making our choices as long as we know how to move on and begin again. One thing I've learned from the story is that, too much expectation leads to depression because not all love stories have a happy endings.

  2. Like all of the filipino writers, Aida Rivera portrays a different kind of short story which gains lesson to every readers. This short story is entitled " Love in the Cornhusk". It is being entitled like that for the reason that characters' love begins in the cornhusk and the place where they met.It is also a sad love story about the characters involved in this situation. Sad story because their love did not last for a lifetime. Did not last in a sense that, one of the partner in the story did not wait the person she the loved most. The lesson is that, when you mean love, learn how to wait.

  3. The story of Love in the Cornhusk, is another kind of love story. But the ending is not like the other love story that they live happily ever after in the end. In this story, they're love did not last till the end. The girl marry someone instead of the guy that she love. So I think this story shows that "true love waits".

  4. Love in the corn husks is one of the short story written by one of our famous writer Aida L. Rivera.This is all about love of the two persons named Amado and Tinang.It entitled love in the corn husk because the setting of the story is in the corn husk which both of them experience happy moments in the said place.Tinang married another guy whom she didn't like because Amado was far away from her.But when the time came that Amado and Tinang meet in the second time, they wanted to continue their love in the short time.The lesson I've learned in this story that if you love someone try to wait especially when time you and youre love one is far from each other.

  5. A cute story for it happened at the cornfield between two individuals very in love with each other. Time comes that there is a need to be far with each other. There are things to be prioritized first than love. Just like in the story, Amado have to go away afar from Tinang for his mother was sick and his presence is badly needed and Tinang didn't know about it. Difficulties and challenges strengthen our love with the person. If we really love the person, we are willing to wait for them. Though its hard but for the sake of love we will do it. That is true love. True love really waits.

  6. This story tells us about that some relationship don't last. Because of this, some lovers find someone for them to move on. But for me,if you have a trust to your lover, you will wait for him/her. But we have our own decisions. We can't blame our lover if they find someone because that's their decision. We must let them go because that's life.

  7. The story shows the effect of leaving of someone you love most. I believed that true love waits, but in the story the girl did not control her feelings and look for someone she can rely on and did not wait for Amado. After all those things, she regret and found herself that she is still in love with Amado. I can really feel the pain of Amado because he expected that they were meant for each other. I realized that if you have a commitment live on it so that you will not regret in the end and don't leave your love one's. Love someone as you love yourself and learn how to wait.

  8. The story of cornhusk tell's about the lover's story. This couple are very inlove with each other. Now the time is up to seperate their own lives. The couple decide to be far from each other but she/he have a promises. Even though it's very hard to be far the we love Amado and Timang fight the loneliness. The times comes that Timang is inlove with another guy. Because Timang needs some partner of her life. But for the sake of love the decision of the couple is final. We must learn how to let go even though it hurts. True love waits if you willing to wait. That's the story is all about.

  9. I really like the story, because of its message that true love wait.In the story I don't like what Tenang did,he did not wait Amado, she find someone witout knowing what is the feelings of Amado. I believe also that if you make a promise, do it, just like Amado did, even though he is gone for a long time , he is still faithful to Tenang.It teach mo furthermore that we must patient in waiting, because we don't know what would happen next.All I can say that we should put in our mind that true love will do everything and anything.

  10. The author is using a flashback. If we try to analyze the story, we can only understand the main point and why the story was entitled "love in the corn husk", after Tiang receive Amado's letter.I like the story in the sense that in a simple way it teaches us lessons. The story tries to remind all of us that in every relationship there must be trust between you and your partner. That whatever may happen, you will still be faithful to your love one.We must be careful also in every decisions that we are going to undertake to avoid having regrets.

  11. The story imparts lessons to us-"true love waits".That story teaches us not to rush things, cause everything has it's own time. The only thing that we must do is to be patient, if we really love the person we must wait. Don't be afraid of the time, make sure always that your decision could make you happy for the rest of your life. Don't make a very important decision that could probably make you regret like what happen to the main character in the story. Because time pass only once, we can never ever turned back time,we should remember that one decision could make a lifetime change. The story tells us that we must think strategically and wait patiently!!!!!!

  12. What a sad story of Amado and Tiang!Trust and communication is really the strong foundation of LOVE. If lovers have no trust and communication, their love will never lasts. Just like Amado and Tiang, because cut-off communication , one of them loss hope to see each other. Tiang thought that Amado leaves her that's why he accepted the love of her another suitor even if she's not in love. If you really meant for each other, love will find ways in order for you to be together.

  13. The story shows that they don't have trust individually it is because each of them lost communication and trust. For me, we should always wait the right time for us it is because God plan all good things for us.And I believe that "TRUE LOVE WAITS" especially when you have trust and wait for the right time for your self. Lastly, the story tell us to think before we enter the relationship because regret is in the last not in the beginning.

  14. The story of Tinang and Amado in the " Love in the Cornhusks", is common in our society. It involves repentance at the part of Tinang when she knew the main reason why Amado leaved her at that time. The problem is that, Tinang is hurry enough taking her decisions. She didn't cite first the different circumstances considering that, Amado has a family problem.
    It shows only that Tinang didn't proved her love to Amado because " true love waits.." but, in her case she didn't possessed it, because she married another man.
    In addition, the author of the story, Aida L. Rivera focused in the middle-class city people in the society like Tinang and Amado accompanying their love story ended with a broken relationship.

  15. "Love in the Cornhusk" is a love story that can be true in real life. In the story, Tinang marry someone instead of Amado. And it's because of that she can't wait for Amado and I think she fall inlove with other guy. We can't blame Tinang for what she did, cause it's common. But the bad thing is that she let Amado think that they will be on each other till the end.

  16. Love In The Cornhusk is an interested story for those who are teenagers,it is because lot of them can relate to the said story.Some of us believe that "True Love Waits" and "First Love Never Dies", but there are also people who doesn't believed this.In the story we thought that Tinang was very in love to her first love Amado,because even though that she has already a child she still in love with Amado which is wrong.This is because she cannot wait for Amado that's why she marry in other man who is now a father of her child.If I were Tinang,I will focus and give my time and attention to my child not to Amado,because Amado is just part of her past life.Even though that its a lie to say you've let go of the past,what is the best thing that you can do is to move on.Like other said, "past is past" and it cannot be rewindable just like movie.

  17. The story talks about how important to wait for someone whom you love most. I believe the saying "Love cannot live when their is no trust" because trust is very important in every relationship. When you cannot wait in a long time of period of time there is a possibility that in the end you will regret. Like the character in the story Tinang regret because she realized that she was still in love with Amado. I conclude that if you love someone practice how to wait.

  18. In the story "Love In The Cornhusks", Aida Rivera wrote a love story that happens in reality. I guess, Tinang and Amado were not really meant for each other because they have live their lives separately and they didn't live happily ever after. If ever Tinang had a regret on having a family with Inggo and not with Amado, she cannot changed everything that had happened already. Moreover, the author wants the readers to know that we should be sure of our decisions in life. We should always remember that whichever way we may go, there are no wrong decisions in life, its for us to make it right.

  19. In the story entitled "Love in the Cornhusks" it shows the real scenario of a lover who are measure their love by some challenges like going far from each other. The concept of the story is about the lover who was very in love to each other and in just a blink of an eye the boy becomes invisible to her. She doesn't know the reason why the boy leave her, even if she still loves the boy, she marries someone whom in love to her. The boy came back to her life but it was too late because she had a commitment to someone. I realized that "True Love Can Wait" even if there is so many circumstances that you are going to experience by that, you can know that you are really meant to each other or as we can say you destine for each other.

  20. The story of Love at the Cornhusk that was written by Aida Rivera has thought me a lesson. It is, when you truly love someone you should learn to wait for him/her. As written in the story, Tinang was not able to wait for Amado to comeback so she married another man, and regret it after knowing that Amado did not betray her and she still lovs him. Tinang should have trusted Amado and waited for him. Waiting is a very hard thing to do, but if you really love someone you would be willing to make sacrifes.

  21. Have you ever heard the song entitled "I can wait forever"? Surely, If you really love someone you would really wait for that person but in this story Tinang and Amado did really loved each other but Amado have to leave Tinang. Tinang tried to wait because of her love for Amado but I guess Tinang can't live alone that she needs someone that will take care of her that's why she married another man. But sooner, she realized that she still love Amado but she already married other guy. I think these people are destined to live in separate lives though they had loved each other once. Waiting is so easy to say but too hard to prove.

  22. "TRUE LOVE WAITS" ! What a nice phrase to those people who are inlove. In this story, this phrase doesnt exists, because of the fact that the main character which is Tinang, didnot wait for Amado to comeback. She decided to marry another boy whom she didnot love because of being hopeless that the man she really love will not return.But, when the time Amado return, she realize how much she really love Amado. And after reading the story, I come up wih the idea that 'Love is not enough for the two lovers if there will be no trust.

  23. In the story entitled "Love In The Corn Husk",it portrays a sad but a meaningful love story.It is sad because the characters Amado and Tinang was not able to make their relationship last.Their relationship did not withstand the test of time because of impatience and the lack of trust.However,I still like this story because I learned that in a certain relationship, trust and patience are very vital.With these two, no matter how long lovers should wait,still,the hope will linger in their hearts that one day,their dream of being together will come true.

  24. 'The main point of the writer in this story is all about loving someone who is in far place. . Base on my observation i could really say that true love waits. But sometimes we cant denied the fact, that we are not totally perfect, to follow that words because as human its normal to feel inlove with someone. THis story Love in The Corn Husk tells about two persons who has long distance relationship, tHE GIRL here cant wait the guy she loves so that she found someone to complete her needs in terms of love, which is very related to us as reader because uts really happened in reality.

  25. Does true love could possibly wait?In the story "love in the Cornhusks"it answer the question that Love couldn't always wait at all times,yes love is there but we must also consider that love is also a choice.A choice because in here Tinang made the choice to give up the feeling and to not conquer either the test of time,distance and love,and she didn't hold the promises of Amado maybe because she thought on the idea that promises are made to be broken,instead he marry another person or another man. On the other hand I appreciate the story because it taught me that love is a combination of "God,heart and Mind"If it is for you then it will be given.God has set a plan to each and everyone of us,and that is one of the greatest idea that I'm holding with don't rush yourself for it is a regret in you take time,let God rule your life for it will bring total happiness in you.

  26. Love in the Cornhusks is very interesting story. This story talks about couple who love each other. I believe that true love waits. But in the case of Tinang and Amado, this thing does not exist. If you don't want to regret a particular thing do not rush things. I realized that in relationship, trust and patience is very important.

  27. The story entitled"LOVE IN THE CORNHUSKS"made me realize that in a relationship you must experience trials and challenges.The chances of breaking its one's promises is not impossible.If you are weak and you don't resist the temptation,you will really become unfaithful.Not all the time that you are together,that's why you must be patience in waiting.Always pray to God that you will be more stronger and keep your relationship good even if you are far from each other."TRUE LOVE WAITS" and nothing is impossible if you wait the exact time.

  28. Unlike other love stories, "Love In The Corn Husks" had a sad ending; yet, a meaningful love story which I've ever read. The story is sad because the relationship of Tiang and Amado won't last. It was said that "True Love Waits" as what I believed; however, in the story Tiang loses her hope that Amado will be back to continue their love with each other. My eyes were teary when Tiang read Amado's letter because I was touch with the letter and I felt pity to Tiang. Just bear in mind that if someone really loves you, then he will come back as what he vowed to you. The only lacking in the story is more patience so that in the end you'll never be having any regret of what you have been decided to be.

  29. The story starts in typical rural area wherein corns grow in the part of the story,In the story Tinang was described as beautiful and she had lots of suitors.There were two mentioned.Tinang's past and first love Amado and Tinang's present Inggo.Tinang and Amado was separated,the reason why Tinang and Amado was separated was because Amado's mother was sick and he had to go home to his place and take care of her.I believe that if you love a person you can wait for him,provided the time is not forever and communication is still possible.I noticed in the story that maybe the author was trying to point out how girls thing very unpredictable and constantly changing.

  30. The story “Love in the Cornhusks”, talks about what really love means. The story’s setting was like in a barrio. There was a girl named Tinang who worked for a Señora. Tinang had a son with a bagobo.There were two people mentioned. Tinang’s past and first love Amado and Tinang’s present Inggo. Tinang and Amado were separated. Now, the reason why Tinang and Amado were separated was because Amado’s mother was sick and he had to go home to his place and take care of her. After that Tinang again was said again to be pregnant. After a while, Tinang was spwending her life with Inggo, she got a letter from the post office from Amado which was about Amado’s concern about his relationship with Tinang. While she was reading the letter, I was sick of the girl because Amado is her loved one but yet she left him for another guy and the baby she could be holding can be Inggo’s. For me, I believe that if you love a person, you can wait for him provided the time is not forever and communication is still possible. Love is a sacred word for me that I only say “I Love You” to a person I really love because nowadays from my own experience, that “I love you” is a common term and laughed or even joked about and it makes me sick reading the story of this character Tinang.I notice in the story that maybe the author was trying to point out how girls think, very unpredictable and constantly changing, like when Tinang was reading Amado’s letter to her, it seemed like she wanted to go back to him.

  31. The story 'Love at the Cornhusks' this story is a meaningful yet it was a sad story because Tiang could not wait Amado and there relationship wont last forever.Instead tiang married another boy because he think that amdo would not come back.This story has a meaningful message ant this message is 'True love waits' but in the case of amado and tiang it never happen.The lesson of this story is that if you really love a person you can wait for him even if he is not on your side.I realized that in building a relationship both must have patience and trust.

  33. The story ''Love in the Cornhusk''is all about the two lovers that separated by fate. I like the way Tinang cries because the memories of her first love refreshed to her mind. There is a regret in her part because she's not happy to her situation in having a family at early age. The author tells how important to decide in terms of loving someone, waiting for the right time is a big thing. Loving someone must have patience and enough trust so that you can end your relationship happy with each other.

  34. In the story"Love at the Cornhusk's" it brings a meaningful sad love story. In which lovers are not able to make their relationship last long. Base on this story, i may say that its possible for a man to come back on he have promised to the one he loved. And in the story Tinang was not able to wait Amado. The thing is she loses her faith and being impatience. Base on my own opinion regarding on this story, of why the lovers did not made it their love to each other its because of the weakness of Tinang. And I do believe that love cannot grow without FAITH.

  35. This kind of person is different from the other writer, as what i have observed she's not serious the way she write a novel, short story, and etc. But I really appreciate her short story entitled "LOVE IN THE CORN-HUSK".This title off-course it involve love with each other but it makes feel different, it is because of the waiting less time, what i mean is the girl did not wait for her husband to come back that's why she find another boy who can love her so much.When the moment has come Amado came back to see his wife and he feel happy, but the hurt is it's to late it is because Tinang has already a baby with her second boyfriend.

  36. The story “Love in the Cornhusks”, is another Filipino story for me because of the mentions of barrios and senyora.There were two people mentioned, Tinang’s past and first love Amado and Tinang’s present Inggo, Tinang and Amado were separated.In the story it is sad because the reason why Tinang and Amado were separated was because Amado’s mother was sick and he had to go home to his place and take care of her.They sacrifice their love in order to do their responsibility in their family.And I believe that if you love a person, you can wait for him or the right time that you are really for each other.

  37. The Love in the Cornhusk is a story that full of lessons especially to youth because it shows the consequences about love. Sometimes we are hurry when loving someone and forget the limitations that we need to reach. By that, we might made a decision that are not planned well. In the story, the girl has a regret about her situation because she's not satisfied with her condition and her first love lost because of her wrong decision. The author shows how important to take our time to decide when it comes to love especially when we got married.

  40. The story of Love in the cornhusks by Aida L. Rivera-ford, Tinang really loves Amado but they become separated with each other. It portrayed that the woman’s love is internal. It shows how a woman strong is and can surpass any challenges in life. She manages to escape with her own nightmare and started all over again. She moves on and face the consequences because she can’t live in past better in future. Tinang is weak when it comes to love but it did not destroy her, she chooses to overcome the situation. She needs to be strong for her kids, for their safety, happiness and for good. Even though she really loves Amado but she needs to let go because she has already children. She decides not for her own good but for the own good of her kids. In short women are strong and can sacrifice everything even though their own happiness just makes their kids okay and safe. Being a mother sacrificial and eternity.
