Discovering the Wonders of Classical Film

Discovering the Wonders of Classical Movies/Films

While staying at home for days because of my laziness I've decided to watch Classical movies, although at first I know that this will be boring, I am definitely wrong. Watching Gone With the Wind and Casablanca proves that my expectation was wrong. They are masterpieces and such beautiful films. I never thought that classical movies means and was artistically and beautifully done. But comparing the two movies. I like Casablanca more, I was so touched by the movie and I like Ingrid Bergham who was the leading actress in the film, so beautiful and elegant. I surf the net and discovered how great she was because of several academy award winnings. Some people say that Audrey Hepburn was also good, I wasn't able to watch any of her movies but later on I will. "As Time Goes By" was the theme song played in Casablanca and it was really good. Good song, makes you fall in love and I want to play it on the piano.

I searched photos of Ingrid Bergham and Audrey Hepburn. In terms of looks, I prefer Ingrid's but in terms of style I idolize Audrey. Well, they both have looks but I like Ingrid more than Audrey. I hope that there will be more classical movies that I will be able to watch. They make me fall in love.haha...

Lately, I wasn't able to update this blog due to laziness...haha...I am so lazy to update this blog. Well we became 2nd place at the Noli Me Tangera Play production at our school and our section was very happy...as in very happy....of all the loses...we've finally won, for the last time that we will work as a section and a team. Well...at least all the hardships and the undying practices have paid-off.

Well literally, for the past few days, we're doing nothing in school, except for cleaning classrooms and completing the clearances. Oh...add up the playing of badminton and dodgeball...haha...and the rest is BOREDOM! Yesterday, there is the formal audition in choir and I decided to auditioned. Although the sched was a bit frigthening I've still decided...and I hope I got it! haha...Mam Carlos says that I will be in Alto...wow! I didn't know that I can do Alto voice. At least I will not be stacked up in singing the same old tune that I am singing. Majo also auditioned, I hope that we will be able to make it.

Tomorrow is the graduation day in Masci and the seniors are now saying goodbyes. Wish them all the luck in college and I am wishing all the luck next school year being a senior student in Masci. Hearing 'senior' is an awkward word for me because I think being a senior doesn't fit me because I think and act like a grade school student. I promised my parents that I will do good the UPcat review and this school year... so Good luck to all of us

Love is Patient




1 Corinthians 13:4-7


Love is patient,
Love is kind,
it does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking,
it is not easily
Angered, it keeps
no record of
Wrongs.
Love does not delight
in evil but rejoices
with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always perseveres.

Darwin

Darwin: A section Worth Remembering

I am so happy and relieved today, our periodic exams has just finished and I am so happy! Yipee! This will served as the last periodic exam I will take in Masci for being a junior and i am so happy because time flies so fast and I can't believe that I am now an incoming senior. Hearing myself and other people say tha I am a senior makes me feel "wow", as if I've done so many things and I deserve that name. haha... But I am a bit nervous at what my test results will be because of that time consuming, mind wracking practice in Noli Me Tangere, I always go home looking a haggard person and my pimples are getting bigger and my skin is getting darker! Wahaha... I get really annoyed yesterday when I discovered that Noli will be moved on March 20 instead of today. Sad to say, I didn't have the chance to study attentively the second day test which consists of: MATH, COMPUTER SCIENCE, ACCOUNTING (Which I literally guess all questions! Promise!) and SOCIAL STUDIES! I really hate 2nd day test, looks like all the subject that I hate are in that day. Well, at least it's over now and goodluck at the results.

So now, Darwin will just worry about completing there requirements, actually "rush" requirements. haha...Masci likes making students suffer from "rush" assignments, projects and tests but still they expect that we will still be the best..... always "rush". MaSci is a "rush" school. haha..

But honestly speaking, I will truly miss Darwin. Although, Darwin made me sick, darwin made my cry, darwin made my lose my patience, darwin makes my blood pressure to the highest level ever, darwin made me say bad words, although darwin is the hardest section for me to collect money(because I'm the treasurer!), although darwin is the not the best section in the block of Masci, I think being a Darwinian is still a worth remembering experience to me because, I've met wonderful and kind persons, I learned on being a Darwin that patience and perseverance is very important. I think, the students in Darwin didn't have the chance to know each other very well, but we laugh together and copy assignments together. I will really miss this section, only weeks will be counted and I will receive my card and an indication of what will be my section this incoming school year and I am nervous, nervous on who will be my classmates....nervous on what will happen to me, nervous that I will not be able to fit in on that section. God knows what's the best for me and I know that He will not leave alone..

In short I will miss MAsci, especially when time comes and graduation day will be nearer. I will definitely, and absolutely miss Masci....

No Update

It's been years..

It's been a week since I have my last update and there SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many thing that happen to me, which today I cannot remember. The main reason why there are no updates from me is that because of the tasks that we have to accomplish, like the cinematography in arts, the stained glass in arts also, the "walking on eggs" in Physics, and currently indulging ourselves in practicing Noli Me tangere. Well it's a good thing that the shooting in Cinematography is already over, we mainly shoot it in Intramuros Manila and it's very tiring because I have to be the director. It's main plot is about an agent..hehe...it's just a stupid film..so I promised myself that when that film was being watched at class hours I promise that I will be absent at that day, so I can't hear their criticisms and ran away from the shame that I will encounter!hahaha.... Well the stupid stained glass which I literaly do 3 times due to carelessness has now been passed and I hope that I will get a good grade.
The Walking on Egg event in Physics is very fun and I really enjoy it! FOrtunately, our group only has one egg that was being crack and Kristin has been able to walk on the eggs barefooted! I really enjoy it because it's so messy! haha...

We have a nonstop practice for our play production in "Noli Me Tangere". I thought that we have no hope in joining the contest, but I wish that we will do good at the play...I am in-charge in the music aspect of the play...A Musical Director? hahaha...Wish ko lang! It's really good to hear that I am the musical director of a play. I have no ambition of being a musical director, but I don't know it's just feel good, because I was able to use my skills in playing piano. I will gonna play piano and I'm a bit nervous.

When I rode the bus this morning to go to Paco Park for our practice for Noli...I was standing beside this cute guy..hehe...and I'm telling you...he is cute...and handsome...and smells good. haha....I am so vain! hahaha.... I just want to smell him all the way through and never go down at that bus because he smells like a baby! haha....really smells good. Not like the smell of an old man....he smells fresh...haha... well, he is really cute!

it's been a busy week for me and still will be busy...have to do notes for advanced biology and study for the last periodic test!!!!! Yes!!!!!!! Yehey!!!!! 3rd year will be over with just a week.. and I will be busy this vacation... for the review in UpCAt and choir practice at school!!!!! But that's ok for me! Cge next time again!
