Who wants to be a millionaire

I wonder what it feels like to be a Millionaire or probably a Billionaire in real life,having to afford the things you've been yearning your whole existence,having to own your own Mansion,and all your maserati and mini coopers all lined up in a row,and how about a lifetime supply of food and clothes or even travel the world.But I think,things like this can only be fulfilled if we put hardwork on it.



Enough me talking about being a Multi Millionaire,Honestly,I was absent the day,that this activity was held,but I'll my best to rummaged to my friends informations, so they could give me an idea, on what happend on that particular day, but if ever I was there, I would have definitely have slept throughout the event,because of boredom,I'am not fond of watching this kind of stuffs,even on TV.


So according to my Squad,our block didn't won the contest,well, at least they did their best on trying to answer whatever the questions it may be.

Speech Choir

It has been a glorious day for ABMA 151 once again,after we won 2nd runner up in Chants and Cheers last febuary, it's better than nothing though,we got the winning streak,from logo making contest to speech choir,we won 4 trophies,can you believe that.and I hope I don't get an R on any of my subject at this semester,I'm hoping that winning four times can contribute to the salvation of my grades.I'm so proud that I'm a part of this section,filled with unique and talented people,yet so overly drived of eagerness of victory.

Like any other competitions we have been through,as always,ABMA 151,will always be very competitive,which is both a good and bad thing,but I won't get into those two sides anyway.
Starting off with the days of practice,I gotta say,I only went on few practices,because I was so tired and perplexed with all the school works that are piled around me,and I know each one of my blockmates are too,but hell mines probably the worsest,yeah,the thing about the practice days were not as hellish like what we have in Chants and Cheers,so  I'm pretty cool with it.
Heading next to the main event,which is the Speech Choir Competition,I was very skeptical and especially nervous with the outcomes,the thing is that,what if I screwed up,or one them did, then we're definitely doomed,and also the fact,that the other bocks would start tearing us apart by giving out their best shot or even trying to distract us by their facial expressions as well as whatever comes right out of their mouths.
As we waited for few moments,and watched all the participants before us,I must say,I got a bit intimidated,but I did hope and prayed that I don't mess up the whole performance.
And now that it's our turn to come up the stage,I felt my chest started to pound real hard,and I'm my tummy started to hurt,but,I just ignored it and just focused on the what's ahead,then our AVP has been played,I tried remembering all the steps in my head,as I get closer at the center of the stage,and as I slowly see faces staring at us,I tried to looking up the spotlight for comfort,I felt my whole body was involuntarily shaking,thinking it was not a good sign,especially,I right in front,but I did my best to fulfill my task,and I did,and I'm halfway through the performance.and what's running through my mind was to get this over with so I can relax,and proceed on enjoying my 1 month summer vacation....Hooray!!! for ABMA 151....and Congratulations!!!!

Public Speaking Competition

The day has come for my chosen blockmates to represent our section for the "Public Speaking Competition",


but before the event started,the paticipants for the contest,must undergo an elimination round,where only few will compete for the final round,so at that moment,the facilitator of the event flashed the rooms assigned for each group of contestants,and after that they went on their way for the elimination round.And that leaves the auditorium with few non-participants,which is us,oh there's no way I'm going to join those kind of events,it will definitely be a reason for me to have panic attacks and to be knocked-out cold.few minutes later,the APC speaks facilitators,prepared some activities,for us to be occupied while we're waiting for the participants to come back,actually,the first activity was fun to watch,especially,one of my blockmates was in it,I don't know I just find him really funny,and I really like witty people,they just make the world more enjoyable,
the next few activities was just downright boring,which made me feel droopy once again,if their going to have an activity or some sort,might as well make it more fun or interesting,or they could've just made us watch a movie,that would have been nice,because if I have a chance to ran off right out the door, I could have done it sooner,because it's getting pretty boring right in there,plus the prizes are freakin' underwhelming,a 3 pieces of effing "Hany" for a prize,you gotta be kidding me.After a few  hours of torment in that tiring moments,the participants finally came back,what a relieve,so there are probably like 8 chosen contestants were left to compete for the final round,two of my blockmates though,got selected,Starting off with the first speaker which is one of the person in my class,I gotta say she's pretty good with it and the content as well,but she's lacking of Boom factor,

then comes next,are those people I have no idea who they are,then Jod Gulle,which is also in my class,started to have his speech,for added information,the theme of the Public Speaking Contest was "Integrity has no need of rules",so going back to the last part where I stopped,he was really good at calturing the audience attention,like what I said I like funny and witty people and stuff,so I just find it very amusing,that I get so hooked,on every single thing that he says,with a little bit of humor in it,which keeps me watching.

then all of them was done speaking.the host declared that the results would be announced the next day,together with the speech choir ...that means,it's time to go home...I think not,we still have to practice for the competion (speech choir).

SOMA float

Last 30th of March,the day when our floats was judge according to it's aesthetic and meaning.the Theme for our SOMA week is "Philippine Mythology".



First of all,we have encountered so much hardships in the process,like,we have planned and brain stormed each and every detail for a better outcome.


Second is that the basement 3 was a pretty much a Hell hole,the whole place was so far below,that everytime I was down there,I feel like I'm going to pass out any minute,less air is entering the area,but what could we do,it's the only place we're allowed to make our humongous paper molded floats.the first few weeks where allotted for the planning and chilling,and then of course the coming  weeks after that was just excruciating,dealing with the soul sucking environment,and all the difficulties in the process,

it was fun at some point,because I get to hang with my other blockmates,that I don't usually talk to,but it's some casual conversation and nothing special,more like small talks perhaps,and things wouldn't be complete without some hardships,this kind of moments are just so inevitable,that you'll get anxious each and everytime,not to worry,added to that is having to get home late,which I don't really like.seeing our float, and others as well,is making me conscious,Honestly,because even at the beginning,I'm having a feeling that we don't stand a chance with other groups' aesthetic standards with regards of their floats,plus,I didn't wanna expect too much,because I know after the event is over, our paper mached artwork would end up in the trashcan (definitely in the junkyard),after we have almost finished our floats,we took turns on who's going to work on our "masterpiece" and the performance.

 There's just this one irregular fag,that I find her so freakin' bossy and hypocritical,that it pisses me off,she keeps on scolding on so many things,yet,she even does the things she mentions,she even make rules,but ofcourse she's also one of those who's breaking it,how annoying is that, I hope I never get to see her again,because she's making my blood boil,that freakin' fag with wide hips (there I said it!!!)...heading next,with the main event, SOMA week, I wasn't excited at all, in fact I was already looking forward on going home (which is always what I do),because I know the results will be very dissappointing, and yeah! I was right,we didn't won anything, but instead we just made fun of ourselves, and realizing that this event is nonesense,especially, if the one's facilitating this kind of activity, is a scumbag, and just took off with all the "goodies" ever since...if you know what I mean.

Benjamin Alvez's Birthday


Last 18th of March,an actor from GMA  network clebrated his birthday in our school,and he was Benjamin Alves.Before,I have no idea who he was,until I've watch an indie film which he's in,entitled "Sana Dati" (by the way,you should watch it,it's a pretty good film),at first,I didn't know why we didn't have our last subject (Expository Writing),well it's a good thing though...who wouldn't one of our subject to be cancelled,definitely not me.So going back with the main topic,me and my squad went to MPH1 which is located at ground floor,near the school clinic.I didn't like the concept of going to birthday parties,except for the free foods,and then we waited for the event to start,while I'm at it,I silently observed the place,I saw different varieties of cakes which has his face on it,and it came from his sponsors.So my mind began to wonder on what he would look like,is he going to be 10 times hotter in actual (eventhough I'm not fond of watching TV,since I got my tablet and wifi to keep me occupied)or nah.And after all the waiting,Benjamin Alves finally came,and guess what,he's ridiculously HAWT!!! (Slang word for Hot),I never thought my heart would felt something weird,like a teenage girl fangirling from the inside,and I never thought I would go nuts (kind of,but not that much)for a local actor,

since my crushes are all foreign,I was like a dog,following his every move with my eyes (sounds weird right,it's a girl thing),staring at him feels like I'm on cloud 9,I don't know he just simply mesmerized me with his looks,build and his attractive smile,I felt like I'm going to melt.Then came the time when few students where expected to present at a slam poetry contest,I have to be honest,that made me felt real bored and sleepy.not until it's time to eat,well,the food is just....meh,baked macaroni and a slice of sandwich,after that he entertained few questions from the students,well,some of my blockmates grabbed the oppurtunity to ask him about stuffs,and he even gave the girls a peck on the cheeks (slightly jealous),other thing is that,I thought he's going to have a dance number,which I was expecting,sadly,he didn't,but instead he shared a poem about a girl...and then,he gave out some souvenirs like caps and stuffs,

which I decided not to get,because it'll definitely end up lying somewhere around in our house.Lastly,me and my squad got the chance to take a picture with him.it was a fun day for me so far.

Paddington Movie

Honestly, I never had the chance to watch this CGI based kind of movie,because I have no time nor the interest to watch it,espcially if it's a kid friendly film,which I already lost the heart to even pay attention.I now get easily unamused and bored  (it's an Adult thing kicking in). But for the sake of this blog. I'll try to watch it....if i got the time...however,for now I'll just rummaged through wikipedia for the movie plot, and I'll do my best to give you an insight of the story...for those people who doesn't like Spoilers,better turn away,while you still got the time.

Paddington is a 2014 British live action/CGI family comedy film directed by Paul King and written by Hamish Mcoll.
The following content below was taken from Wikipedia:

 In the deep jungles of darkest Peru, a British geographer named Montgomery Clyde happens upon a previously unknown species of bear. He is about to shoot it to take back a specimen to England when another bear playfully takes his gun away. He learns that this family of bears is intelligent and can learn English, and that they have a deep appetite for marmalade. He names them Lucy and Pastuzo. As he departs, he throws his hat to Pastuzo and tells the bears that they are always welcome should they wish to go to London.

Years later, the two bears are living in harmony with their nephew when an earthquake strikes their home, forcing them to seek shelter underground. Distracted and upset at the loss of his home, Pastuzo is unable to reach the shelter in time. He disappears, with his hat being found the next day by his nephew. Aunt Lucy encourages her nephew to go and find solace in London, and stows him away on a cargo ship, after which she says she will move into the Home for Retired Bears.

The young bear reaches London, but he fails to find a home. He is taken in briefly by the Brown family, who name him after Paddington Station, where they found him. Henry Brown, a devoted risk analyst, is adamant that Paddington stay only one night while they find a place for him to live permanently. Paddington causes a series of accidents across the house, further isolating himself from the Browns.

Paddington thinks he can find a home with the explorer who found his aunt and uncle, but does not know the explorer's name. Mary Brown takes Paddington to an antique shop owner who discovers that the hat bears the stamp of the Geographers Guild, but the Guild says that it never sent a member to explore darkest Peru. With the help of Mr. Brown, Paddington infiltrates the Geographers Guild archives and discovers an expedition to Peru was undertaken by Montgomery Clyde. He uses the city's phone books to track the addresses of all the "M Clyde"s in London.

Meanwhile, a sadistic museum taxidermist named Millicent Clyde captures, kills, and stuffs exotic animals to house in the Natural History Museum. When she becomes aware of Paddington, she immediately sets out to hunt him down. The Brown family departs for the day, leaving Paddington home alone. Scheming with the Browns' nosy neighbour Mr. Curry, Millicent sneaks in and attempts to capture Paddington; he inadvertently repels her, but burns the kitchen in the process. Oblivious to Paddington's statement of Millicent's capture attempt, the Browns state that he must move into a new house as soon as possible.

Feeling unwanted at the Browns, Paddington leaves and attempts to track Montgomery Clyde himself. He finally locates the house, only to discover that Clyde died many years ago, and that Millicent is actually his daughter – who resents her father for losing his job and membership with the museum; out of a change of heart, he refused to bring a valuable Peruvian bear specimen home, even though it would have made him the wealthiest man in the world. Millicent is determined to succeed where her father failed and become rich and famous herself. She tranquilises Paddington and prepares to stuff him, but when Mr. Curry discovers her true intentions, he informs the Brown family and they rush to save Paddington. They rescue him, and Paddington subdues Millice

Kat's Movie Review: Sana Dati

"Sana Dati" (English: If only) is a 2013 Filipino romantic drama film written and directed by Jerrold Tarog.

The film is about a woman named Andrea Gonzaga (Lovi Poe) who's set to be married on that same day,yet she doesn't seem to care about it, that is why she took a really long time before she can even make up her mind, and the worst part is that she made her guests wait for more than an hour.And the reason why she did that is because she does not love the guy named  Robert Naval (TJ Trinidad)she's about to marry.

 On the other hand she actually met another guy named Dennis Cesario (Paulo Avelino) whose job is to cover her wedding ceremony, which reminded her of someone she used to love. Well coincidently,Dennis is related to the guy named Andrew Cesario (Benjamin Alvez),it's because Andrew is the older brother of Dennis,then came the back story where it all started.

Andrea met Andrew at a wedding,where Andrew is the videographer,then Andrea approached him and they began to talk about camera stuffs,and at that same moment, Robert seems to be jealous with it.After that,the scenes then transitions to those part when Andrea and Andrew are now dating,it's kinda sweet,though I can't relate at some point,because i never had been in a relationship,because of course that is not what i have in mind,so going back to the story,it has been a tragic moment for Andrea, because the time they went on a trip to visit their flower, Andrew suddenly collapsed inside his car,well of course just like anybody else that has health issues,he died,

 That is why,when Andrea met Dennis,she wanted to get away with him,to escape her wedding,but sadly, Dennis does not want to ruin, a very sacred ceremony,so instead of doing what Andrea demands of him,he decided to leave without her awareness.

And so Andrea felt so broken,she cried so much.And then times gone by,she had finally learned yo moved on.

Turn Left ⬅ Turn Right ➡

Sorry but I haven't got the chance to watched this movie,because I was absent.
But here's the movie plot,from wikipedia.

Turn Left, Turn Right (Chinese向左衰·ε‘右衰pinyinXiΓ ng zuΗ’ zΗ’u, xiΓ ng yΓ²u zΗ’u;Cantonese YaleHeung joh chow, heung yau chow) is a 2003 joint Hong Kong-Singaporean romance film, filmed inTaipei, Taiwan. Produced and directed byJohnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai, the film starsTakeshi Kaneshiro and Gigi Leung. The story is based on the illustrated book A Chance of Sunshine by Taiwanese authorJimmy Liao, who makes a cameo appearance with his wife and daughter in the film. It is also the first Chinese-language Asian film ever from produced and distributed by Warner Bros.

The original graphic novel was first published in 1999. The characters in the novel were not given names, both characters were only referred to as "him" and "her". Chinese title of the book translates to "Turn Left, Turn Right", A Chance of Sunshine is the original English title of the book, on the newer published editions the English title is shown as "Turn Left, Turn Right". The book consists of a series of detailed illustrated images, with a small amount of text in poetry style. The film has managed to include every single image in the book with a high level of accuracy, although some are fleeting.

Could you not!!!πŸ˜ πŸ˜ πŸ˜ πŸ™…πŸ™…πŸ™…πŸ‘„✌➖πŸ’¨πŸ’¨

*Coughs…Coughs,I don’t know why people smoke,and it’s very stupid to use something between your lips,that you know would cost you your life by the time the symptoms occur.like the following:
Cancer (lung, throat, head and neck, colorectal)
Heart disease
Stroke
Asthma
Diabetes complications
Buerger’s disease
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
Gum disease (which may include losing your teeth)
Preterm birth (when a baby is born before it's due)
HIV
Vision loss
Dual use (the current use of both cigarettes and at least one other type of tobacco product)
Mental health conditions (depression and anxiety)
It makes me really mad that people smoke,and I find very idiotic,for not realizing the consequences,it makes me wanna shove their cigarette down their throat (sorry for my language,but that is just what I feel everytime some smokes,especially when they blow their smoke right on my face…how rude is that??!!)And don’t you even bother if some else inhaled the smoke you’re trying emit,have some consideration will you?!they’ll have more worst situation than you do,because their breathing in your cigarette smoke,without any way to exhale it out,it can also cause them tuberculosis or worst cancer.have some decency for crying out loud,if you want to kill yourself then have it your way,and don’t involve us into your inappropriate act,cause we’re trying to live a healthy life here.I hope the government especially the people who’s running tobacco industry would stop manufacturing this kind of stuffs because it’s very very wrong.I mean seriously wrong.

🌟🌟🌟Chants and Cheers competiton 🌟🌟🌟

Last 5th of Febuary,held a competion named "Chants and Cheers",but first I’m going to talk about those days when we are just practicing,I gotta say,that ABMA 151 (not hating,but too much is Bad)is kind of addicted on winning,they are just so in it to win it,they take everything seriously,that even the littlest mistake can ruin your life,their going to humiliate you in front of everybody if you did one thing wrong,I mean leading is different from being bossy,their expectation is just so high up in the sky,and what they don’t realize is that not all of us can get a particular step pronto, they don’t have this kind persuasive personality,what they have is some kind of a "Were going to kill your feelings with our words!if you don’t make things right"...that’s why I was just there staring at them,even though I’m feeling kind of pissed,that I wanted to throw a chair because of my anger.Well FYI I was trying my best to follow all the steps,but,you know who’s the problem?!Them!!!...they are the ones who has this so called "I’m always right,you don’t have the right!" & "We don’t care about your feelings!!!"...I’m not generalizing the whole ABMA 151,but there are just those certain people who don’t know how to handle different kinds of people,who has different kinds of emotional state...
so going back to the competion,I was really nervous and at the same time playing it cool for me not to forget anything,or worst get a panic attack or whatnot,we just sat there waiting for the event to start,we even got some few selfies,
which is really fun and comforting,one of the professors sang though.Then finally the event already began,my feelings intensifies,especially when the speaker told that ABMA 151 would go first,
so we all went up on stage,and at that moment where everywhere was a bit dim (it’s a good thing,though I could still see faces looking at us)and the only thing that I was staring at was the spotlight,so that’s a relief,and then we started to perform what we have just practiced,I was so focused on I was doing that even the most hardest step that we have,was going too well for me,and then everything happened so fast and realize that where already done performing,and be just be ready for the results…we waited for the other blocks to perform,I gotta say all of them has potential on winning and so do we.and when everyone are done with their performance,and then again fingers crossed for whatever results it may be…
when finally the speaker blurted out the 2nd runner up, which is us,our whole block started to make noise and celebrating.it’s not that bad,at least we won,it’s better than nothing,and I gotta say the practice did end up well,but still they got to lay it low though.

Plagiarism "Get your own idea!!!for cryin' out loud"

first and foremost what's comes into your mind if you hear the word PLAGIARISM?is it good or a bad thing?theres just a lot of questions barges in from the young minds who don't know anything about what plagiarism is.according to my research plagiarism means:the act of using another person's words or ideas without giving credit to that person:the act of plagiarizing something.
Ok so now that you already know what plagiarism means,we can now say that it's a bad thing,It kinda makes me mad that why would anyone steal someone else's work for their own advantage,I mean how could they?!I know it's really hard to think of something pretty legit,they could've just get some few ideas but not the whole thing. why would they claim something that isn't theirs?honestly,as an artist myself, I also run out of ideas or even just get too lazy to use my head,but I don't steal other's concept,though I use them as a medium or inspiration for my ideas.
I'll give out an example to make things clear,for instance you made a very uniquely remarkable idea,then one thing you know someone else gets credit for using your concept,or worst what if they got famous or rich for claiming what is supposed to be yours (just to make things more overboard to piss you off...I'm just kidding though,but you'll never know).That is why there's a thing called "Copyright" which means : not allowed to be copied without permission from the author, composer, etc…if someone tried to steal your work,don’t worry cause theres a anti plagiarism law,and plagiarism is stealing….and stealing is a crime.

JON SANTOS SEMINAR "Follow your passion...I did"


And yet another seminar was held in our school auditorium,I wasn't very surprised with what it's going to be about,because I already saw the announcement few days before,and I was really intrigued with what is written in the advert "Follow your passion.I did" well coincidently I was actually making a speech about passion,so I was looking forward for it,considering that I might get some ideas for my speech project,heading back to main topic.Last 16th of Febuary.

Jon Santos came to our school to give out a symposium about how he followed his passion,and how he earn a living through it.well at first I was wondering what he would look like in actual,(though I sometimes see him in television doing what he do),regardless of him impersonating renowed personalities,we waited for a few minutes before he went up on stage,then finally he get up the stage,I thought he was taller,whoops!spoke too soon.first thing he did was he thank our school for inviting him in,and then he began stating his words of wisdom,while he's at it,some of his pictures were shown through the projector,all of those moments that he was portraying somebody else,from local to International,he even plugged his show "WTF,wala talagang forever sa MalacaΓ±ang".
Well,at that particular time he wasn't dressed as anyone,but,just in his regular get up,actually he do look old.he's got white hair,I don't know if it's his natural hair color or he might have dyed it,nevertheless,I actually expexted him to be funny at all times,but then again I spoke too soon,I know all of us has our serious and fun sides,and I understand that.it maybe some of those typical seminars you'll have,but at least he tried to joke around,so we won't drool out of boredom,he did some of his famous impersonations,he copied former president Joseph Ejercito Estrada,Miriam Defensor Santiago and Aling Dionisia.and it never fails to crack me up,and it was fun to laugh your lungs out,it makes me forget about the problems that I was worrying that day.then after that,same thing happends everytime a seminar ends...Questions.questions.and more questions from the students.nothing special,just some curious minds looking for answers.

Media Literacy Seminar



Last 29th of January 2016, we had a seminar in our school (APC Auditorium) about “Media Literacy”, I have no idea what’s the "media literacy" thing is all about.
before the event even starts, they let us watch a somewhat very intriguing video all about the Marcos incident,the music that was used,brought a very intense feeling,that made my heart pound real hard,I gotta say it was really effective and the visual editing was breath taking,and the video was made by a 35 year old man named Baron Butchokoy (somehow anonymous),
and after the video was over,Ms. Kareen (Leader of APC Rampage)she talked about what we have just watched,she said,besides what the video was all about,as a ABMA (Multimedia Arts)student we'll make a video just like that,with all the complex and creative visual elements.
Then after that,she addresses the speaker,his name was Tony Tiemsin,he works at GMA network as a news editor
,and he also works at a Blogging website (Subselfie.com),
he started to talk about how to make a very fruitful story about the the daily happenings around the world,honestly I'm not the kind of person who can  sit for hours listening to a quite tiresome topic about the news,I myself have no interest in watching the news nor reading it,not unless I have to.so going back to the main topic,most of the seminar he talked more about the news,then he actually addressed about the secrets of the world of media,he even doubts and worries that he might over share everything about how they create and produce the news,he even prepared a powerpoint presentation to make things more clear.then ofcourse he talked more about his experiences at work,and especially with the famous news anchors he has worked with.
and then finally he entertained some questions that came from the students,it probably took like 10 or more students that asked him some question,and the other one even asked him about his private life.and I was like "Why the hell would she asked that???!!!"leaving me a blanked reaction.
