THE CAR
Angel Delena
Well, I just wanted to share my personal experience. It happened last year, I can’t remember the month or date. It’s already midnight. Me and my cousins (Bernadeth,Claressa and Joana) are hanging out and we’re talking about road trips and adventures and then suddenly Bernadeth came up with an idea that we should take my family’s car and go for a ride. Our grandmother is very strict, as in ‘grabe bes!’ She doesn’t want us to go outside at night because in our place it’s really dark and dangerous. So back to the story, that time our grandmother is preparing to sleep. We kept on pushing each other because none of us wants to ask for permission to go outside and we really wanted to go somewhere with just the 3 of us.
Since, I’m the only one that has the guts to ask. So I did. “Inang, pwede po ba kami umalis gamit yung kotse?” at that moment I could really feel my heartbeat going abnormal. My grandmother answered, “San naman kayo pupunta? Anong oras na, ang haba haba ng oras kanina gabi pa kayo aalis.” and I said “May bibilhin lang po kami sa kanto, magpapadrive kami kela kuya.” And she really asked a lot of questions before allowing us to use the car. The “Kuya” I’m talking about are my older cousins they are celebrating that night so we expect that they will not notice us. Finally, we got inside the car. All of my ‘kuyas’ got sober and shouted to us to stop and take back the car. But we really don’t care because what matters to us is that we succeeded.
But here’s the problem, the car has no gas. Oh my gosh! Good thing I have my money with me, so I drove to the nearest gas station. After filling up, our car won’t start! So we’re very nervous and didn’t know what to do. We all felt crying and then suddenly my phone rang and my grandmother is calling. I don’t want to face her wrath so I passed it to them. But they kept on giving it back so I have no choice but to face hell alone. The phone call goes like this. Our grandmother got so angry and lectured us for a long time and told us to go home. We got home by riding a jeepney since our car won’t start. We begged for our ‘Kuyas’ to take the other car to recharge the car that we took. Since im about to cry so hard they stopped teasing us and help us take home the car.
For 15 minutes me and my girl cousins just stood outside in front of the gate. Because we knew that we’re really doomed especially me since im the one who asked for permission and drove the car. We kept on saying to each other that ‘walang laglagan’ since we all agreed to this plan. When we already composed ourselves and ready to face our grandmother.
We found our her sleeping peacefully.
I ran off to my room because I want to make the most of my time before my grandmother wakes up and beat me (Kidding aside, our grandmother never hurt us.) She would just lectured us about our wrong doings for a week.
This experience is actually very funny for me because it’s the first time that we had the guts to disobey our grandmother. I know it’s bad and I really learned my lesson about this experience. That we should always obey those who are older than us because they know what’s best for us and that it’s also for our own good.

BLOG
Lance Junsay
Hi guys I'm Lance. Last week I started doing my vlog for my project on 21st literature. To be honest I don’t know when to star and how am I going to start doing my vlog. But I have watched other vlogs that it is started at their home so I started at our home too. I started in my clothes until I got outside until I got at school. In the school I am shy on doing my vlog because many students were looking at me and it is awkward. But I decided to don’t mind them until I have finished my first vlog.

Sapphire
Kimberly Shane Addun
They say that junior high is better than senior high. My opinion about that is yes, it is. As a senior high school student, I can say that the environment and workload in senior high school is different than junior high. Whenever I’m tired, my mind always wanders to my old classmates. I kept on missing them every single day. I missed our talks, laughs, pranks, and jokes. We were carefree and adventurous. I had a hard time adjusting in my new school because I’m not with my old classmates. I had no one to lean on, no one to share the burden or school works, and no one to go to during break time. It was so hard and it even came to a point that I broke down to my parents. I was so lonely without my old classmates.
So this was the story. It was during our tenth grade when we had a strong bond among each other. Our section was Sapphire but I wanted our section to look unique so I renamed it as Sapiro and since that day, we called our section Sapiro (but we still call our section “Sapphire” during school events and activities). I look forward on meeting my junior high classmates everyday because I’m so happy whenever I’m with them and I feel like I’m on cloud nine. We were super-duper solid and no one can even break us apart. Every teacher loves our section because we’re fun loving people (even the most terror ones became soft). Every events and activities in our school, students cheered on us. It was good to see that the crowd loves us.
When the last month of our school year came, I became sad. I mean, I’ve finally had the greatest friends I could ever have, and now were parting away from each other? I didn’t accept the fact that we need to part ways for us to reach our dreams. I didn’t want to lose them and ignore me like a stranger after some time. Thinking about my thoughts for a while, I realized something. If they’re really my friends, we will not grow apart from each other even though we don’t see each other every day or we don’t communicate often. We will still have the bond and relationship that we built; only that we’re going to be more mature and independent. I know after some time, we will not talk about pranks anymore; rather, we will talk about life.

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Sapiro. Without them, I would never have a fun experience during my junior high school. I was contented with them, but as life goes on, we need to meet other people. I am delighted that I’ve met new friends at my new school and I’m looking forward for the moments that we will share together. Good luck to us, and I hope that we’ll have a great journey during our senior high school too.

My old habit
Joiemeelyn F. Lureca
We all have our own hobby or habits, and I once have some kind of addiction in my own kind of hobby. That summer I was so boring because I don’t have things to do, we we’re just staying at home. One day, I tried to play this online game called “Love Beat”.

It was similar to the only online game that I enjoy which is “idate”. So when I played the game, I really enjoyed it but the thing is I don’t have a lot of friends in it so I kinda lost interest. But then days passed, two married couple came to our computer shop and played and they were playing Love Beat so because of that I became close with them and I would play with them all the time.
It was like the start of everything. They were even my so-called mom and dad in the game. Until I also tried to top-up which means using money to buy cash in the game, I would save money just to buy cash that we use to buy outfits and other stuffs in the game.

And I have met someone, this guy have become my couple in the game so we were acting like we are really in a relationship. So because of this guy, playing this game became the part of my whole summer and also I was infatuated with him I guess. Because of him I became more sociable and I’ve gain a lot more friends in the game some of them are even from Cebu. And I’ve invested a lot of my time to the game. It was so fun playing and getting to meet new people that is far from you. I have created a lot of memories not just with him but with all of my friends. That was my hobby for my whole summer that it came to the point that every 9:00 in the morning when I wake up, I’ll clean my face and go straight to the computer where I usually sit and that’s we’re I will eat my breakfast and I won’t get out of there unless I will eat, go to the bathroom, and I will sleep late at night, the earliest is 11:00 or 12:00. That was my everyday routine ever since.
And when the class started when I was on Grade 8 that time, I would save a lot from my allowance to the point that I would just walked instead of riding a jeep to save more, and I would only buy 10pesos in the canteen just to save a lot for my top-up in the game. But of course since the class started I need to focus on my studies until I’m very stressed and I only have a little time to play, this scenarios last like 7 months. And me and my couple have some arguments about it until we BU (Break-up).
And it was February that time, and I really missed Love Beat so I played Love Beat again once this summer came again. And then when this guy knew so we started to communicating again and we came back. And for that whole summer my hobby repeats again. It’s like what they say, “old habits die hard”. Until one day, the family we built in the game had some issues and we depart, and our relationship was affected so we break-up again. Until that repeated for a lot of times, came back and then break-up.
And for the last time we really separated for real because of our studies of course. He was already in college and in grade 9. Again for months I haven’t played LB(Love Beat) again until I missed it and log-in. And there when I saw my friends online I totally missed them so I played and chatted with them.

Until then I realize that playing is not about how much money you used or how famous you are in the game or what outfits your character have, it’s all about a family that you can have online that can comfort you at time, have fun with you, and make you happy when your sad. It’s all about friends that you can have despite of the long distance and you can only communicate through the game. It’s not about who your couple it, it’s about how you treat others despite of your differences. It’s important that you should always enjoy while you’re playing but don’t forget the reason why and that’s not to be addicted to game. It’s about time management and knowing your limits through it.
As an experience I’ve learn a lot from this game and from my friends so I don’t regret it. My friends, we still communicate somehow and the guy, we’re friends and casual with each other now. And I still play but only a little bit now. So that’s how I manage my old habit.

PHOTOGRAPHY and VIDEOGRAPHY
Henrick Viloria
“Photography is not a profession, for me it’s a passion”.

I love photos, I love capturing the moments whether it is a happy or sad moments, because capturing a photo means you want to remember that moment on a photo someday. Even though I don’t have a professional camera like DSLR I still wanted to capture all the beautiful things and nature in the world. I want to make a short film too, because I want to experience or I want to know the feeling after you finished your own films.

One person inspires me to love photography / videography and that person pursues me to become a photographer / videographer someday. Pau Sepagan also known as “RogerRaker” a Filipino Vlogger on YouTube and a videographer also is the one who inspired me. Taking a picture is not easy at all, because every pictures, there’s a story behind it. Everyone can take a single picture, but not everyone can take a meaningful picture.

(the last image is a picture of mine. My favorite shot.)

BREAKING FILM REVIEWS
by: Alexandra Colleen M. Alegre
Okay, ever since I was a kid I LOVE watching movies, series, and etc., and by love, I meant watching like watching over 20 movies a month or watching 6 series over a short sem break.
I am a 16-year-old teen and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched too many movies compare to other kids at my age. I’m not over exaggerating but yeah, that is how a film can make me happy. So............
I made this blog for me to, I mean its in the title – to break film reviews, YES, to literally destroy someone else’s reviews or opinion of a movie, but I am not talking about those people who are a certified film reviewer and being professional about it, I am talking about those people who just happened to be a self-proclaimed critic. Also, I wrote this blog to share with you guys the best movies of ALL TIME, well not all time, I meant movies from 1990 up to now. One opinion that really bothered me so much is the opinion about the A Quiet Place, in Facebook which they made it sound like it was the best movie, but when I watched it wasn’t good, it wasn’t half as good as they said. They are many movies of Emily blunt, and I can’t say that it was her best movie, although she was pretty good in it. On the hand many people actually agreed to it, even though they haven’t watched it yet. So yeah, that’s one of the examples. The picture right here gave 13 reasons why it should be watched, the last one I totally disagree with! It has an EXPECTED and PREDICTABLE ending.
So, I happened to be a self-proclaimed critic too, *funny right?* but I’m not a BANDWAGONER, I do not base on the physical appearance of the cast nor how popular the actors are but I do base on the story and how it is executed. First of is THE BOY IN STRIPPED PAJAMAS 2008, the story takes place during WW2, this is about a friendship about two boys, whose friendship is somewhat forbidden because, one of the young boy is Jewish and one is the son of commandant soldier. The ending however, was very much unexpected, the surprise happened at the very last minute of the film which leaves a very big WOAH at the end.
The second movie I’d like to recommend is HEARTS AND SOULS, starred by the famous RDJ. It was about four ghost attached to a little boy ever since his birth. The ghosts and the boy develop friendship but unfortunately the ghost were just a burden to the boy and making him look crazy, the ghost have to disappear but still bounded to the boy until he grew up, later they found out that the boy was supposed to be the instrument for them to somehow crossover. Every unfinished business of each ghost has a very good moral story in it. It is a great drama. In my opinion this is the best movie of Robert Downey Jr.
Third, before there was A Fault n our stars, there was A WALK TO REMEMBER. I know that everyone is familiar with this one, but what makes this movie different from any romantic movies? Unlike any other romanic film, this doesn’t have a kilig factor, but after watching this, you’ll feel loved or uhmm I don’t know that’s what I felt.
Lastly, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN 2003 my favorite movie. Played by Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio, and I can say he was very good in it.Themovie is based on true events. He played Frankly Abagnale, a genuis conman and a fraud. And Tom Hanks a great FBI agent, he might be one of the best bank fraud men in the Bureau, but he’s never met a suspect like this.
Actually one of my inspirational quotes or should i say, short story is from catch me if you can:
“Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse. “
Many of you, might not believe me, cause this is coming from a 16-year-old girl but I can assure you that my basis for a good movie is different from others: A horror film is good for their story, not jump scare. A good drama is how much impact it has to you, not how much you cried. A romantic movie is about how much you can learn from it not how much you kilig. So that is how you enjoy these movies recommend.

Reel Feels
Rosewell Ray V. Cabusas

---------------------------------
“That’s all that matters. The greatest thing is to have someone who loves you and—and to love in return. People who haven’t got it—or had it—don’t believe that, but it’s the truth.”
What’s with the quote, you ask? Well, I may not be as engrossed as everybody else when it comes to chick flicks and such but hey! Everybody has their soft and weak spots. I may not be interested by the very first time I lay my eyes on a piece but soon you’ll find me sitting hunched at the edge of the room – crying and reflecting on what I have just watched or read. Oh, the sentiments in the literature and films we’ve indulged ourselves with.
Today, I will be sharing my favorite scene from a British historical drama I’ve been patronizing since season 1. Hey hey hey! Don’t leave me just yet! I ,myself, was really not into historical genre long before I came about but trust me, it gets better once you've widen your boundaries! So lemme start with my looooong erratic remarks about my favorite drama scene. *cue jazz music*
Entitled as Poldark, it is based from Winston Graham’s book with the same title. This all-new version of the vintage Masterpiece series stars Aidan Turner as Capt. Ross Poldark. Yes!! Aidan Turner! Who portrayed a character from Jackson's The Hobbit adaptation named Kili- the youngest of the thirteen dwarves who set out on Thorin Oakenshield's quest to conquer Erebor. (Let me put a brake on that before I begin to fantasize about Tolkien beings).
Going back!! The story begins In the late 18th century, Ross Poldark returns from the American War of Independence to his home in Cornwall after three years in the army. Upon his return home, he discovers his father has died, his estate in ruins and in debt, and his childhood sweetheart Elizabeth is engaged to his cousin Francis. Wow, a warm homecoming surprise for a soldier returning from war. Yet, Capt. Poldark stood firm. Ain’t nobody is bringin' my man downnn. While in quest in saving the family’s long running mine business; In town, he encounters a young woman named Demelza, dressed as a boy. After learning that her father beats her, Poldark offers her lodging and work as a kitchen maid. He then strives to help his father's tenants and the people of the village while attempting to run the copper mines he inherited, sought after by his rival, the greedy and arrogant George Warleggan.
•Ross Venor Poldark•
•Elizabeth Chynoweth Warleggan•
•Demelza Carne Poldark•
Its fourth season is currently airing this year!! With fast paced jawdropping revelations, thrilling scenes and unexpected turn of events, Poldark always keeps me at the edge of my seat.... or bed. Even though are more than 30 episodes released, there's only one scene that I’m totally diggin and will share. After seeing this drama I've came to ask myself, what is it like to live in the 18th century where romantic love letters and songs are a norm? Where love is expressed through exquisite art--to feel every stroke of letters they write; that every words they speak and sing are music to their love one's ears. What does it feel like?? Welp!! Fast-forward to Season 1 Episode 4 where Demelza is already wed to Capt. Poldark. Too soon? See here why. <--tis a link
Now, where do I start? I don’t even now where to begin to describe how utterly perfect every single millisecond of this scene is. I thought it impossible to choose a favorite scene from this episode because it’s been an unadultered Demelza/Ross relationship, however, then came this and I forgot about everything else. It was Christmas Eve when Demelza and Ross are invited in a small feast at Nampara. While chillin (cause its cold) near the fireplace, Elizabeth plays a harp for the guests. As they clap after Elizabeth's graceful performance, a guest provocatively asked Demelza to play something- with the idea that Demelza is just a scullery maid. Ross intervenes saying that Demelza rather sings. With no other choice, Demelza- who don't even play instruments, walked towards the harp then unexpectedly plucks the right string out of nervousness. Then she began to sing. There was none which could compete with Demelza singing her soul-stirring love song. It resonates across the whole room and deeply moves everyone. Demelza’s clear voice full of unsaid feelings makes an impact on the listeners (I would like to be included too thank you very much); and Elizabeth immediatelly realizes that her harp could never compare this.

The Wild Red Rose
“I’d pluck a fair rose for my love;
I’d pluck a red rose blowing.
Love’s in my heart a-trying so to prove.
What your heart’s knowing.
I’d pluck a finger on a thorn,
I’d pluck a finger bleeding.
Red is my heart a-wounded and forlorn
And your heart needing.”
---------------------------------
Everyone is listening to Demelza, but it’s clear that there is is only one man to whom the song is for. Everybody is moved by the performance because Demelza’s song touches the hearts of those who know how to feel love and even those who don’t, because its message is so strong and clear and beautiful in its frankness - it’s HER LOVE CONFESSION to her husband. It’s as close as she dares to voice her love in front of him. She bewitches him and it’s as if everyone else in the room vanished and he truly saw her for the first time. When she looks up and watches him, Ross can’t keep his eyes from her and he feels every note and word and it makes him tremble. And in that moment, as the comprehension dawns he finally realizes the meaning of her song and it takes his breath away - that HIS WIFE doesn’t need to learn to LIKE him at all because SHE ALREADY LOVES HIM! Awww, the loving and proud smile! I also love the fact that Ross actually suggests that Demelza sings because he is indirectly admitting that he loves her signing and thinks it beautiful - remember when he secretly listened to her at the beginning of the episode.
In this moment, for the first time I truly believe that Ross loves her in return. For him, Elizabeth has been a regret and a wound of the past; something that could have been and he is not yet able to let go nor to stop asking himself how it could have been. And I think the reason why it’s taking him such a long time to indentify his feelings for Demelza as love is because they are completely different from what he’s felt for Elizabeth - stronger, deeper, more profound, raw and intense. This is no longer the first naive and hopeful love but the love that lasts a lifetime and endures everything.
So there we have it!! A very huge kudos to Aidan Turner, Eleanor Tomlinson, the whole Poldark cast and crew for successfully bringing to life one of Graham’s timeless masterpiece. I still can’t deny the fact that this scene will be haunting me forever. A very short verse yet the lyrics! Wow. Beyond being frankly a confession-- it also clearly suggests that even though there’s a feeling of pain and sorrow, she would still do whatever it takes to give everything what her love desires. Demelza is quite aware that her husband is still suppressed to the first woman he loved with the society never failing to remind Demelza what her stand is. It makes her think that she could never compare to Elizabeth's, but then she has nothing more to offer than only herself to the man she loves- who ,too, is broken. Then rolled the ending credits. I admit I was left in awe for a moment thinking what could’ve possibly happened in the succeeding episodes...

Depression
Charles Andrei A Guyo
Good day to you, I just want to share my thoughts about depression. Nowadays, most of people is depress in everything. I think it is started in problems that they can’t solve. Because most of depressed people think that they can’t do everything, that they feel useless. Depression is a serious problem, but some people think it is a “drama”, whenever depressed people talk about they problem others say, “Your so drama”, “Don’t talk too much drama”. So depressed person will hide their problem just to not hear some negative. Now I face so many problems and challenges. In school, their so many accumulated activities like sedla, performance, quizzes and more that will pass and do in the same day. Calling to all my teachers can you please take easy on giving activities, because all of that is not only our duty, we have family too. That’s all for now, thanks to your attention. Again, depressed person have a grate weapon that is smile.

Remember Goodbyes!
Frederrick Pelingon
Hi! I’m Frederick and I am a currently Gr. 11 Student, I can’t still forgotten from that day there’s nothing more loving memories than remembering Goodbyes. I can’t think what should I say from that day we’ve split apart that should I say Good luck? Good Bye? Take Care? Congratulations? But what’s all in my mind from that day is wishing for all the best and goodness for all of us for the sake of our futures. All the memories that has been built for over four years in Junior High School was the most unforgettable moments I have been experienced in my whole life!, little sufferings but we’ve made good friends and tough relationships even in difficult or convenient situations. Even though I have troubles in studies and many more Arthur which is my seatmate and also my best friend is my companion and he doesn’t hesitate to help me during troubles. Of course the one who made that year a perfect for me is my beloved Teacher. Sir Ken is a strict teacher but a precise one and a loving mentor.
From the beningging , From the beningning Just kidding, From the start, Sir Ken always remind us and said “kapit at sumabay lang walang maiiwan” and from that day he said that to us it come to my mind that this will be the rememberable but last moments of being an Junior High school student. But from this school year, of course it is not always happy thoughts we’ve also feel disappointments and sorrow. As I remembered in that day our teacher was so silent and our teacher was just ignoring us. We don’t have any idea how did this happen. But as he enter the classroom he said “be mature” I don’t really know what happens and what my classmate have done until a news come after us that our teacher was been called in the Administrator’s Office due to what have done of the Gr. 10 students. It is over 2 weeks that Sir Ken keep ignoring us. So, to recoup, we classmates started a plan to have back our teacher’s happiness again. We’ve prepared a surprise gift in teacher’s day and in that day we’ve successfully made our teacher back again. From his smile, and socializing among us I can say that our adviser is back!
Until the day come, the day we have awaited for which is the Graduation Day, we are very thankful and glad what we have become and what we have reached. And in that day I won’t forget those people who are my subject teachers, who molded me of what I am to now. Of what I am in front of you its all because of them. From our last moment I won’t forget the way they say Goodbye and Congratulations and it is the reason I will always remember Goodbyes.
