ANTI- SMOKING CAMPAIGN

CIGARETTE SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH

 

 

Everyday we encounter someone who smokes. We see them at every place like malls, in our streets, and even in our house. Almost half of our population smokes. But why? What is everyone so addicted to cigarettes?

 

According to my research,  Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream. Most commonly the substance is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant which have been rolled into a small square of rice paper to create a small, round cylinder called a "cigarette". Cigarette has a drug called nicotine and this substance is what makes everyone so addicted about. Smoking has many benefits for people. It can relieve your stress, It can somewhat give you energy and just take away all your problems. But despite all this benefits we gain from it, little did we know that this addicting thing can lead to some diseases and worse, death.

 

Smoking is not good for us so we should stop using it. If we want to relieve our stress, we can do something different but not smoking. For those who cant stop using it, its not too late to change. We can lessen the use of cigarette slowly until we are not using it anymore. Because if we continue to smoke, we can die early. And we don't want that right?

 

 

Everyone of us should make an act. Because we are the ones who will experience the consequence if we do nothing. So start making a change now because its not too late. Stop smoking and live a healthy lifestyle.

 



6. PARASYTE MOVIE

PARASYTE MOVIE

 

This live action movie is about a teenage boy who is plagued by an unknown parasite and his task is to get rid of it and also find other people who became victims of this parasite. But little did we know that his parasite can also be a good being.

 

The movie is not just about how the boy killed every parasite that invade human being but also it is a story of an everlasting love of a mother. Since the boy was a kid, his mother always save him from everything. His mother is willing to sacrifice her own self just for his child. And as the boy grows up as a teenager, his relationship to his mother slowly fades. And even if the mother is invaded by the parasyte, her love for her son is still there.

 

 

I love the story because it tackles about how the mother truly love her child despite of their situation and problems their facing. And its also about the friendship between the boy and the parasite. It just shows that even if your different, if you understand each other, you can be friends. Their friendship is the one who save them and help them to go through their problems.  And that's what I love about the movie.

 

Even if the story is not close to reality it still makes us scared about them and that's what makes the story cool. This movie deserves to be loved by many.

 

 

 







"ANG TATAY MONG KALBO"

"TATAY MONG KALBO"

Last friday we watched a play called "Ang tatay mong kalbo".  Honestly i dont have any idea what is the play about. But it made me interested  so i continue to watch it. And also because i like watching plays and see how actors act proffesionally.

The play starts with a couple named Mr. and Mrs. Santos. They are at their house talking about random things. The couple are actually funny and sweet at the same time. They also have a maid named maria. And he is also funny. Then after a few minutes some visitors arrived. They are Mr. and Mrs. Reyes. These couple were unusual because they are acting crazy. They act like they dont know each other.  They make us confused and happy at the same time. Then later on, they are joined by a local fire chief which is also maria's love interest. And they really make us laugh because of it. On the whole act, the two families just argues in meaningless reasons and telling stories to each other.

But even if the play was like that, it was good and the actors were good also. I just dont get why it is entitled "ang tatay mong kalbo" cause i dont see any connections. As i observed in their play, as the fire chief is about to leave he asks where is  "tatay mong kalbo" and Mrs. Santos just replied that he is still styling his hair the same way. After that scene i still dont get it.

In our wolrd literature subject, i learned that this play is part of the genre "theater of the absurd" Its like a parody of a performance thats why its like that. Its like the author wants a new beginning every end of the play because the story just repeat but with different characters. Its a cool idea but also very confusing.

Overall, i really enjoyed watching the play and if i get another chance, ill repeat watching it over and over again.

Turn left, turn right movie review

TURN LEFT, TURN RIGHT

I really dont believe in destiny. For me it was nothing but part of other people's imagination about love. Like since you were born you already have your soulmates that you will meet eventually and then live happily ever after. I dont believe that. Your destiny is not planned. It is you who will make it cause it is the result of your choices and decisions in life.

The movie is about two persons who always pass by each other but never get a chance to meet . Just like parallel lines. They cross the same street everyday, they hang out on the same place, they ride on the same train, they meet same people without knowing. They even lived next door to each other. But they never knew. They also have the same situation in life. They both lack money, they have no friends and their talents were never noticed. The boy was a musician and the girl was a writer.

One day they finally met. It was the same scenario 13 years ago when they first met at a camp. The girl's papers full of stories were soaked in the water. And the boy helped her get it. They both liked each other since then but never had a chance to start a conversation. They didnt even get each other's number. Its like fate is playing with them.

Days go by, they still dont meet each other. They met new people that also make their situation worse. But as the film says, "Even parallel lines might cross paths someday". At the end of the film they finally get a chance to be together again and it makes me happy. Because after all those struggles to find each other, After all those years they are not beside each other, finally they met. And this time, they will never turn the opposite ways again.

CHEERS AND CHANTS COMPETITION

CHEERS AND CHANTS COMPETITION

Last week we joined a competition called cheers and chants. It is a project for our english class. The objective of it is to create an original cheer for your course. At first, we cant decide on what cheer we will do for the upcoming competition. But as days go by,  we slowly come up with different suggestions for it.

The week before the competition, we spent our free time by practicing for it. But, just like any other students that work as a group, we find a hard time on practicing because of the problems we encounter. Most of us get tired and hungry. Some of us get annoyed and stressed. But, because our block is united as one, we did it. We have enough practice before the competion. And we even get enough time to prepare for our props and costumes.

On the day of the competition, we were all scared and nervous to perform and also to see other performance of other candidates. Luckily, we are the last one to perform. We get to see the presentations of other contestants. They were all good and deserving to win the competition. But we will not let them beat us. Each of us give our very best in our performance. But just like any other competitions, one will definitely stand out.

We won the first place in the cheers and chants competition!! It was so overwhelming that all our efforts was all worth it. Even if we are not the champion, in our hearts we are the best because we learn to become not just a group but a united family. And that's what makes us the champion.

"Strengths or weakness were still together, we are the youth of tomorrow. In bigger places, we are the champions. Were the beginning of the end"

"Bayan o Sarili?"

"HENERAL LUNA"

When I first saw the movie’s trailer I was amazed by how the director made the story of Heneral Luna educational at the same time enjoyable to watch. And then luckily, the film was introduced to our school last august. I was so happy that they gave us the chance to watch a preview of the film. It was just so amazing. It will bring you back to the past and teach you many lessons. It will also make you understand more of Heneral Luna and his characteristics. Like how much he love our country to the point that he is willing to sacrifice himself and other traits that make him stand out to everyone.

We even got a chance to personally meet the director of this film, Mr. Jerrold Tarog and Mr. John Arcilla, Heneral luna himself. I must say that they are very kind and approachable. They also answer willingly all the questions we have about their film and they also accept suggestions to improve their skills in the field of acting.

Last week, I was able to watch the movie along with my family. At first they are shock because I got interested in the movie cause they know that Im not much into historical films like that. Yes its true but after I watch the preview of the film, it changes my mind. I got really interested and I was overwhelmed by how the actors made a good job in portraying their roles. Even my family was shock about how the film went really good and how it affects people that watched it. The movie was not boring but it was kind of funny because the director makes sure that even the generation today will relate to it and it was a very brilliant idea.

I do not regret watching this beautiful film.  I heard from the news that it reaches P180M mark in the box office as of now and I must say that the film truly deserve it especially the people behind the greatness of this movie.
