Ever After
I found the film quite boring. I like the Disney version a whole lot better. :D
Prince Henry is ugly. He isn't crush-able at all.
Danielle's outfit for the ball was marvelous [don't mistake this to bull, though. HAHA]
Jacqueline is way prettier than Marguerite in my opinion.
I find Leonardo da Vinci so cool in this film. Those little arks were cute.
As what I have learned from the trivia, don't mistake pantoufle de verre from pantoufle de vair.
Oh yeah. While watching the film, Greggi and I were freezing because we were seated directly to where the aircon is "breathing".

Ever After is a Hollywood film based on the classic fairytale Cinderella, although it has its own exciting plot, unexpected twists (Leonardo Da Vinci was sort of Cinderella's "fairy godmother" in the film ü), and a very funny ending (Cinderella's stepmother and stepsister Marguerite ended up as chambermaids)!
Of course I like the classical version better, because it was the one I grew up with, and you can't just let go of something you had for a long time, right? Nonetheless, Ever After was a nice parody to Cinderella. I like it.

The end of the world aka Judgment Day aka Apocalypse is coming...FAST.
So yeah. Last Wednesday, we watched this documentary entitled An Inconvenient Truth by Former Vice President Al Gore. I have seen a part of this documentary on Oprah during summer aka my couch potato days/nights at the living room. It gave me goosebumps. Dundundun.
Right. We are the ones who are adding up to this problem and most of us don't even care. Meh. What would become of our earth? What would become of us? Global warming here. Greenhouse gasses there. New diseases everywhere. Carbon dioxide get trapped in the earth's atmosphere. The ecosystem in imbalance. Glaciers melting. WHAT THE HECK HAVE WE DONE?
OMFGWTFBBQ!!!!!!1111eleventyone. Crap. We're gonna dieeeeeeee. O_o
But hey, we are the ones who started this problem therefore we are the only ones who could prevent it from getting much worse. Come on people. Let's plant TREEEES!!! [then hug them later]
You gotta fight for your right to paaaaaaaaaar-taaaay! --> OK. Scratch that.

For our Physics class last Wednesday, we watched the film An Inconvenient Truth, which was a documentary by former US Vice-President Al Gore on global warming. I already watched that movie last summer, but even if last wednesday was the second time around, it still gave me the equal shivers I got when I first watched it.
It would be hard to explain all the details featured in the film, so I will just give the summary of it:
Everything we do on earth has its effects. Global warming is the result of our neglection of nature. Nonetheless, we can still counteract it for our own future and for our children's future, if we act upon it NOW.

Okaei... After 3 months of playing DOTA and doing something ridiculous to other people, I now turn my eyes to what I'll experience as a 4th year student.
To be honest, I'm looking forward to meeting my classmates again and be with them for the next 1o months, and hopefully graduating with all of them.
The first two days were spent with Ma'am Vesagas, our moderator. We filled out forms and discussed her policies as a Composition teacher and as a moderator.
The next day we met our subject teachers...
1. Composition/Homeroom- I rarely see Ma'am Vesagas smile, although she makes a lot of jokes, but what makes her different from other teachers is that she is a kind of teacher that cares for her students, although she doesn't show it.
2. Morality- Sir Montojo looks like Jason, our fat classmate. Sori lang Jays, nuway ma ya yo kosa abla eh. Sir Montojo is serious when it comes to teaching his students, although he lets his students eat inside the room... hehe.. astig gane kel!!! pwede pa kambya seat!!!
3. Filipino- Ma'am Brizo has the accent that every student will notice. idol man se si Ma'am, Pinoy gayot!! hehe... But with her superior knowledge of the Filipino language combined with her accent, she can proficiently teach students who have a hard time coping up with her subject.
4. Economics- Ma'am Jojie is our Economics teacher. She has this soft voice that can calm even a raging bull... hehe... Just like any other teacher, Ma'am Jojie is serious when inside her class.
5. Literature- Ma'am Api is a patient teacher, we had this activity wherein we made our own shirt using manila paper, even though we were very noisy, she was just sitting at her desk, smiling. For me, she is the opposite of Ma'am Vesagas who rarely smile.
6. Physics- Sir Barrera... hmmm... reminds me of someone in the boxing world...hehe... I heard that he was the valedictorian in his batch.... one word... WOW...
7. Computer- oh CR*P!!! back to programming!! oh well... Sir Jayson... a joker... He was our teacher when we were at 2nd year... He teaches the most difficult part in the computer subject... Programming, and I suck at programming...
8. Trigonometry- Sir Mac looks like a chinese emperor... seroiusly... A good DOTA player, but I can beat him in DOTA, and I savor every moment when I beat him , because its the only time that I can say "In your face Sir Mac!!!! Bwahahahahah!!!" But when it comes to his subject, its his turn to say "In your face Angelo!!!! hahahaha!!!" guess why? because I suck in this subject... really.
9. PE- Sir Pelayo... hmmmm... He calls me Hakunamatata... But its okay... hehehe... Im already used to namecalling... Sir Pelayo, your days are counted.... *evil laugh*

Evaluation is important. Thus, an unbiased review is the essential for any evaluation topic. To maintain the sense of credibility, The formal and quantitative format is followed.
IMPRESSION OF SCHOOL RE-ENTRY (9/10)
The First impression on the school overall is mostly established in the First day. Thus, I shall base my review on that very occasion. The school structure has been improved, the first day program and Holy Spirit Mass were impressive. The Handling of the school in the formal occasion was quite impressive and it was undoubtedly well prepared (except for the unexpected and truly annoying weather condition). Putting aside complications due to weather, I give it a 9. It was top class, but had room for improvement. Especially the Seating arrangement, which made sense, but turned out to be disorganized especially for seniors and the parents at the back.
FACULTY (7/10)
Being faculty of a most prestigious school, they deserve no less than this number. Many were prominent members of school faculty. In terms of knowledge, know-how, and mastery of the curriculum, they get a straight 10, or even perhaps an 11. Now, you ask, "Then why did you give a 7, you ***-**-*-*****??!". Well, the way they share they knowledge is not exactly an appealing, interesting, nor student friendly one (there are exceptions, of course). From an unbiased, uneven point of view of all students, I unfortunately must conclude that the roster of teachers this year lean towards the "boring" type. I mean, sure they got the 1000mHz brains. However, inefficient delivery doesn't promote enthusiasm in students, and only part of those top class information could enter into their heads!
ACADEMICS, REQUIREMENTS, ETC. (6/10)
The curriculum itself is well established. This is never ever doubted. However, the implementation of the academic requirements are not very well thought out of, awkward, premature, overly difficult, unnecessary, and excessive (in terms of expensive materials). Of course there are exceptions, but that seems to be a frequent trend. Hopefully, it'll only be in the first few weeks and not extend till the end of the year.
STUDENT OPPORTUNITY (8/10)
Understandably, most clubs and organizations are still dormant, thus extra curricular opportunities are still unavailable. However, some are getting active quite quickly, quite impressive for the first few weeks. Thus the 8.
Those are the assessments that I think are the most important at this point, so I will stip here. Overall, I give the first two weeks a 7.5 over 10. not bad, but not excellent either.

A plethora of things happened in such a short span of time, and in order to qualitate these data, we must first quantitate them. So, here goes..
1.) Homeroom- we have Mrs. Ruth E. Vesagas for class moderator (clap, clap). She isn't as strict as I thought she would be. In fact, she's always the first one to approach us during non-class hours.
7.) Filipino- Si Pinkaw is an emotional story about a mother who became insane.. We talked about it the whole week.
8.) Grammar and Composition- It was such an adventure looking for Corona notebooks all over town. Luckily, and with the help of my dear friend Cristy, I got one!

2.) Literature- it was really fun when we made our awareness shirts! We also got to pick a literary character that best represents us. I picked Sayuri from Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha because of our optimistic approach towards life.
3.) Trigonometry- I'm in the Magis class again (it's an unfortunate event for me). Not that I'm ungrateful or anything, it's just that, I know it's hard to keep up with these advanced classes.
4.) Physics- I love physics!!! Even though we have quizzes every other day and gowin's vee every end of the week, I still like the whole concept of the subject. Go, Sir Engineer Rabuya Ph.D!

After approximately staying 3 months at home, bumming around and doing nothing, I finally had the chance to get out of bed, the couch or the computer seat to move freely and mess around with the people I've known for almost 4 years.
The eve of the school opening left me wide awake with both anxiety and excitement. Huweird. I was anxious to start my last year as a high school student and I really don't want it to end but I was also very much excited to see my classmates again, especially my best friends and other special particular people and of course, our teachers. Ehem.
The first two days were spent with our moderator. We filled out many forms and discussed the school's policies.
The next few days were spent with meeting our subject teachers and it was...fun?
1. Homeroom/Composition - as what my older siblings and upperclassmen said, Maam Vesagas is strict. Yes she is. But she can be funny at times though she doesn't smile or laugh at her own jokes.
2. Economics - Maam Jojie can be very formal but she has a calming voice.
3. Religion - Sir Montojo looks a lot like Jason Morales. Really.
4. Filipino - Maam Brizo has a funny accent. Sorry, Maam. Bien bisyadora gad yo.
5. Literature - I love the t-shirt activity thing. My domokun addiction showed off again.
6. Physics - I still remember what Roux Abubakar said: Sir Rabuya looks like Champ Lui-Pio of Hale. I can't seem to understand what Sir Rabuya says though he is obviously intelligent. He can do computations in his head. Amazing.
7. Trigonometry - back to Sir Macrohon. I remember him saying last year that he won't shave his beard unless the current president resigns. Now he has a bald chin. LOL.
8. Computer - back to Sir Mahilum. HAHA
9. PE - Basketball! :D
