Week2: A day of arts and Language........

Last Friday August 26 2011, We celebrated the "Linggo ng Wika". A celebration for the Filipino Language, and it's richness.

All I can say is that. "The whole day is full of Artistry, love of the language and full of Lies." Well I can't always state only the positive parts. Sometimes I need to say the PAINFUL negative. I did not say that quotation to discriminate. I just want to state my opinion. Because every single thing most of the contestants of the Extemporaneous speaking have said are just so freakin' idealistic. Well there is one that really appealed to me (the representative of the CITHM if I'm not mistaken) because she knows how to manipulate her words and she didn't choose any side between Filipino and English. But the others, I really find it hard to believe. Why in the love of all that is human did one of the contestants discriminate the usage of English in transactions with others(local or international). Well If I can go up there I'll tell her "Because girl, some of them don't really know how to speak our language. They rely on the universal one. And the fact that it is impolite to talk to others in a language they do not understand(and they might think we are bad mouthing them, it may lead to a unsuccessful deal)." And why the hell did one of them asked why do the Filipino workers have to work abroad? Well, use commonsense it's not the persons fault, It also brings pain and shame to the man or woman cause he or she is not doing his or her thing for his or her country for the sake of his or her starving family.  For a while while listening to speeches with the same flow I actually thought "Hey if I saw you guys in abroad someday, get ready for an awesome trash talk."(but I won't do that. I respect their opinions. and I won't even remember their faces anyway.)  I also can't understand some speech of other contestants, but I think there are some good or rather well said speeches.

Now lets move on to the real topic shall we. What did I and my classmates did for the celebration. Well we made a booth about classic filipino movies. By the way almost all of our decors are hand made. even the c.d holders the only decoration not made by us are the curtains, but we are the ones who shaped it by using thumb tacks and pins.

here's a picture... 

I really like the singer who performed two classic opm songs, she have a great vocal power and control. I also like the dance performances. but for me the highlight of the day is The pageant. I like the outfits the candidates worn. The filipiniana outfits of the girls really are remarkable. some are over the top some are a little bit ordinary but still good. My favorite outfit was the outfit of the CCS representative(if I'm not mistaken) the violet backless crisscross strap gown. It is not too much not too less. my second favorite is the white one with pink details. Very simple design but a little too large skirt, while in the boys side, there is one who dared to wear an ethnic costume(shocking really, and it's such a cold day I tought "Isn't he feeling cold in that outfit?")

All and all it's been a good day. And please, I do not want to discriminate or be bias to anyone. I'm just stating my opnion. I don't want to offend others and I do not want to hurt others.

Week 1: Emerald city's MIDnight TERMination....

Hello there everybody here's your deluded host for tonight.... Janelle Emerald Hermosa Gonzales...tonight I'm here to tell you what happened in the last first half of the semester.
Yeah how fast midterm is already over...I'm happy to tell you that I already saw two of my grades I am really dissapointed with the my grade in one of those two (honestly I literally told myself while looking in the mirror the next morning after I woke up... "DARN you...Is that the best you can do? Why don't you F#$%ing do better next time b!@#...") if you are going to ask me which subject it is I'll just say it is a four letter clipped word starting with M and ending with H. But I'm also pretty proud to tell you that I passed my other subject.

Well midterm has been stressfull and at the same time fun. I really felt challenged, and at the same time happy because hey I survived it. I also had fun, I have new friends, I had fun times this past months.

here is a drawing made by trixie...

for aiza...

now here is a picture of the gym and the land surrounding L.P.U

A picture of a hotdog eating stella

and

a picture of a busy texting Vlad...

Hehehe...these two will definitely KILL me....

I also had fun on making projects like ourpast past projects in CommTech... also our past leader Louina Beato is a really awesome leader.

now here's a video of us having fun...

Well all I cam say is that...It's been a happy midterm....and good luck to myself and my classmates...I reaaly need it...

It's a new generation people!!! Live like it!!!

Good day or noon or night to anyone who will read this blog post. Yes, as you can see I feel a little energetic today (so obvious in the title...) this is because I feel a little irritated a little while ago. Sorry about that.

Now I'm here in front of your monitors to talk(yes I mean talk) about new media. We the new generation are now out with the old and in with the new. Yes, let me ask something. Can anyone tell me if they still have a black and white T.V or another which can only play Silent movies?(correct me if I'm wrong...I think I just said "silent movies" watched in T.V?) Well see. Now we use Colored or Flat screen T.Vs. now radios are not those large(bigger than an infant) box. They are now compact or built in phones. Now we don't need Mr. post man or go to a very long journey to send urgent messages. We use phones or e-mails. We upgraded

from this:
 and this:

to this:

and this:

in taking artistic photos or just plainly capturing moments with our family and friends. And also listening to music upgraded.

from this:

   to this:  
                          
                                                   or this:        


Also communication also evolved:

From this:          
          to this:   

and from this:    
                        to this:                                  


Yes true a lot of things had already and will change. For example years(ages) ago there were no T.Vs no radios no internet no facebook no twitter no laptops no phones no gadgets no p.s.ps  no p.s1 or 2 or 3, just plain paper, stick or cave.  For us people from this century it means "WTF!!! I cannot live like that WHAAAAAA!!!!"(screams like a girl who just saw the end of her life coming) Yeah it's true some people will think that if they were like overreacting. But hey face the fact that they(our ancestors) lived just fine with those darn simple technologies.(I think I just contradict my title...)

But sometimes (sorry for the bad language) CRAP and I mean CRAP happens. Like this afternoon maybe 4:00 or 4:30 pm my Corby 2 theme download failed five times in a row.(maybe it's just me, my skills or my computer just couldn't decode it.) And our  crappy DVD player turned off on it's own while I'm watching Pak Pak my Dr. kwak.(not kidding) The thing really needs to rest. (that's why my mood sucks right now)

Well due to this new media lots of bad things (crap) happens. Specially on the net. For example: Prostitution, Fetish vids etc. are distributed illegally. And scams and other crime happens...

In conclusion New Media have good and bad effects. We just have to choose which side are we on...
(p.s. in the two hours I spent writing this blog while watching youtube and googleing photos (8: something to 10:13) lots of babies have been born in the top 3 most populated countries, lots of children died from hunger in Africa, and the fact that I haven't eaten dinner is starting to kick in. Which are all sad facts, except for the last one.)

Some ideas I put in here courtesy of Ms. Anna Kagaoan and the videos she made us watch.
and I apologize for some bad language, grammatically incorrect sentences, misspelled words and crappy thoughts that are of no help to some others.

Good one...

Last Tuesday, we watched two videos about the development of communication by using the Internet.
one is information about surveys in different sites in the Internet. While the other is a comparison of the Internet and ice creams.

It's really great for me to hear about progress in Internet usage. It is nice to hear that many people are connected, there is progress. It really is amazing how the first video introduced us facts about the virtual world. About how many is using which sites. How much information are stored. I also like how the second video compared the Internet communication with an ice cream town, where people not just big companies or small businesses can make ice cream, which means also to comparison, all people can use the net for communication.

It really is nice to see how progress is building up. And it is really good to see how people all-over the world follows.

Choose One

Ok this week our topic is about Mediocrety vs. Exellence. Well since I was absent this last few days i have no idea what this means. But now I will explain this by my own opinion or point of view.

For me both of those things exist in a person. It is just up to the person which among the two shall he or she choose. MEDIOCRE for me that means useless, low quality or worthless. I bet no one in the world would want to be called that. Who would want to be called "Worthless"? but as painfull as it sounds "it exist in us" weather you like it or not, it does. Even if you hate it, it does...But you as a person with pride and feelings must change that and make it into exellence.

EXELLENCE. It is a word that means great, well made or done, something with worth. It is also a word that is hard to achive. But still it exist in everyone. All we have to do is choose a way or work a way to show it...
