In giving the meanings of words, do you For the easy and familiar words, I
consult the dictionary or do you formulate give my own meaning. But for
your own meaning? those words which I’m not familiar
yet, I often consult the dictionary.
Appassionato is the past participle of a Latin word “to impassion”. It is found in music sheets,
where the composer wants us to interpret a passage with passion. It should have been tattooed on our
palms as we were handed to the stork for delivery. Then we would have been saved from vacillating
between deadening dullness and paralyzing panic, from the trouble of learning on our that life without
passion is like salad without dressing- safe, healthy, not fattening, and unspeakably drab.
Passion comes from the Latin word “suffering,” hence the Passion of Christ. It implies suffering for
a cause deemed noble: Christ believed in His divine mission and carried it through to an extremely
uncomfortable death. We see that passion transcends the physical and, contrary to common perception,
is neither totally mindless nor totally blind. We determine with our reason how we want to live and
recognize the companion pieces of diffidence, when we opt for paths less travelled, corners, less
explored, then we live life with passion.
Analyzing passion is like defining love. We teeter dangerously on the brink of mawkishness.
Groping for imagery I find myself thinking of love as a cup of warm chocolate and passion as hot, strong,
almost thick coffee. Chocolate soothes, comforts, is sweet. Coffee unleashes energy, has a full-bloodies
flavor, a touch of bitterness unpleasant to others, but delicious to the drinker.
Love is softness; passion is smolder. Love might be contentment, but passion is adventure. It must
be free, untethered. It must explore, drive beyond the boundaries, break molds. Passion discovers,
unearths, examines, magnifies, revels in details. Love rolls up details into a coherent whole. Love is
passive; passion hyperactive. Where love is melancholic, passion is pain.
Love and passion are inseparable. Extreme desire for another person’s body without awe of that
person’s soul is lust. But when the desire for another body proceeds from a need to connect with that
body’s cherished uniqueness, its soul, then the desire becomes passion. Lust quickly disappears. Passion
is insatiable.
Passion is visceral. It stands outside traditional thinking. It ignores conventions like distance, time,
social acceptance. It dares into uncharted waters. It used to be primarily associated with romantic love.
Today, thanks to authors like Tom Peters and Nancy Austin (A Passion for Excellence), passion’s
boundaries have been extended to embrace world entrepreneurial endeavors, corporate success.
And why not? Work should be done with passion. I abandon myself to my career as I would to a
lover. I take professional and personal risks. When I win, I soar. Other times I hit the pavement with a
resounding thud. In between I do battle with indifference. I have been, for the most part, successful; not
because I am the best but because I do my best and that for me is a passionate, fulfilling life.
If passion is so good, then why do many fear it? because by its etymology (from the Latin word
“passus”, past participle of “pati” meaning to suffer) it brings pain. To be capable of passion one must be
open, vulnerable and brave enough to stare pain in the eye. It is safer, easier to be closed, unfeeling,
unhurt.
Also, passion picked up an unsavory reputation along the centuries. A murder committed by a
person who found his/her beloved in the arms of another was labelled “a crime of passion”; encouraging
many to shun “passion” when should have avoided “crime”. If instead the killing had been called “a crime
of murderous temper,” then perhaps more people could have surrendered to passion.
I believe that a life lived with passion shimmers, shines, rises above the ordinary. Allow me to
seduce you into passionate existence. To think, to sing, maybe even to sigh- appassionato.
Answering of Process Questions:
In the text, passion is associated with the Based from the text, it says “Love
words love and lust. What insights have might be contentment, but
you gained out of this? passion is adventure. Love is
passive; passion hyperactive.
Lust quickly disappears. Passion
is insatiable.” I realized that love
and passion are inseparable. In
terms of relationship, lust and love
is not enough to sustain the bond.
There must be passion to
maintain the relationship.
What do you usually see in your locality or For me Ma’am, the celebration of
barangay that manifests extreme passion? Christmas. I think this manifest
passion because the people’s
commitment and effort to
celebrate the occasion shows how
devoted they are to this important
occasion. We celebrate
Christmas, not just for the sake of
leisure. We Filipinos religiously
celebrate it to give thanks for the
blessings we receive and most of
all, to honor the birth of Jesus.
Valuing
In the essay, there is a line which states, For me, everything you do is
““Life without passion is like salad without worthwhile and fulfilling if there
dressing- safe, healthy, not fattening, and is passion. Passion spices up
unspeakably drab.” What can you say everything. According to the

shimmers, shines, rises above

Definition
- In its simplest form, a definition is “a statement of the meaning of a word or word group or a sign or
symbol”. In other words, a definition explains through clarification and further explanation what we
are trying to say with one or a few short words. Aristotle would say that the definition provides the
essence of the term. ( https://www.unifiedcompliance.com/education/what-is-a-definition/ )
Defining
- understanding the essence of a word, an idea, a concept, or an expression.
- The main purpose of defining is to give information to the reader as to what the author intends to
explain.
a. Denotation – the primary, explicit, or literal definition of a word.
b. Connotation – the secondary meaning of a word. It is not necessarily included in the dictionary;
rather it is how people understand a word based on their own personal or consensual experiences,
and not based on a dictionary.
To illustrate, let us have an example of a rose. According to the online version of the Oxford
Dictionary, a rose is…
“ The flower or a flowering stem any of numerous wild and cultivated plants of the genus Rosa; esp.
the large, many petalled flower of any of the numerous cultivated varieties of this plant, typically red,
white, or yellow, and often scented, but also occurring in a wide variety of other forms and colours”
(“Rose” www.oxforddictionaries.com, retrieved May 16, 2015)
On the other hand, a bouquet of roses is usually what a person gives to his/her beloved. Beyond
being flower with a scientific name, a rose can also connote love and romance.
Besides denotation and connotation, there are techniques that one can use in defining. Before we dig
deeper to the topic, let us have another activity.
STATI
-
ON 1
1. Analysis
Is the process of breaking down a concept into its constituent parts. It also entails detailing in
which one, rather than zooming out and describing the concept as a whole, zooms in and focuses
on describing the aspects that make up a concept.
Example: The guitar is a musical instrument that produces sound primarily through strumming its
strings. Its sound is modified or manipulated through the interaction of the strings with the other
parts of the guitar, which are the headstock or simply the head, the tuners, the nut, the sound hole,
the body, and the bridge.
2. Comparison
-is associating the word or expression you are trying to define with something else not necessarily
synonymous with it. It is highly dependent on imagery which creates a vivid picture of a concept in
the reader’s mind.
-is usually used through analogy or figurative language like similes and metaphors.
-it is used to make abstract concepts more understandable by using comparison to appeal to the
human senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
Example:
“Groping for imagery I find myself thinking of… passion as hot, strong, almost thick coffee…
Coffee unleashes energy, has a full-bloodied flavour, a touch of bitterness unpleasant to others,
but delicious to the drinker.”

3. Contrast
- Contrasting is understanding how at least two similar concepts are different from each other. In
the sample essay of Appassionato, Gonzalez mentions that “passion” and “love” are usually
collocated because they mean almost the same thing. To lessen the ambiguity between the two,
the author uses metaphors to contrast “passion” and “love”
Example: “Love is softness; passion is smoulder. Love might be contentment, but passion is
adventure. It must be free, untethered. It must explore, drive beyond the boundaries, and break
moulds. Passion discovers, unearths, examines, magnifies, and revels in details. Love rolls up
details into a coherent whole. Love is passive; passion hyperactive. Where love is melancholic,
passion is pain.
4. Etymology
-the history of a word. It explains the evolution of a word or how it has come to be.
Example: “Appassionato is the past participle of a Latin word that means “to impassion’… If
passion is so good, then why do many fear it? Because by etymology (from the Latin word
‘passus’ past participle ‘pati’ meaning suffer) it brings pain. To be capable of passion one must be
open, vulnerable, and brave enough to stare pain in the eye.”
STATI
ON 3
5. Extended Definition
-is a personal interpretation of an author to an abstract and multifaceted concept. It goes beyond
denotation and connotation. It gives the reader a new and fresh understanding of a concept as it
largely draws upon the author’s own perspective of the world.
Example: “I believe that a life lived with passion shimmers, shines, rises above the ordinary. Allow
me to seduce you into passionate existence. To think, to sing, maybe even to sigh-appassionato.”
6. Function
Another way of understanding what a word or concept means is to know its purpose. It answers
the question: What is it used for?
Example: Whether it may be an ancient sundial, a classy pocket watch, a Rolex or Swatch wrist
watch, an antique grandfather’s clock, or the mighty Big Ben of London, a clock, first and foremost,
is a mechanical device or technology whose primary purpose is to measure time.
