how can we be unique
Posted by ella at 2:52 AM
first colloquium
One of the speakers in the seminar I attended saying that in her situation, it was really disappointing in her part being the editor-in-chief because it was really pressured and tiring to be in that position. She kept writing news and articles but then all of the sudden “pinapaulit lang daw “because of some minor offense in her writings. What she did she lost the mood in doing her best in writing because her effort came into trash and wasted.
Another factor that newspaper or college paper must have was having an interesting topic. But people want extra ordinary news before they will read one article. Nevertheless living in this situation no freedom of speech is hard to make an interesting topic. For this reason people might use those college paper/newspaper as their fan whenever they feel blistering especially now it’s already summer.
However in the end it’s still our task to work it out, to make the article fantastic and so on. It is really a challenged in our profession.

one day preparation
Those sentiments were my emotions during the campaigned of TEAM UNITY in convention center in San Fernando Pampanga on February 21.
After planning everything, on what I wear until on what attitude should I act in front of them, I went to school so early to fix something regarding on my stand up reporting. I was very excited to think that I will interview those people who are running for senator. In thinking that single moment, hello! that was exposure in my part. It was a big achievement for my self to interview those people who have name in society. We required choosing one from the candidates to interview and I chose Vicente Soto as my interviewee. I prepared my questions I tried to imagine myself how to talk to him. While waiting for our departure we heard voices from students, they were shouting outside, so my classmates and I wondered what’s happening we went outside. We saw some candidates like Cesar Montano who were in school, and I realized that was the reason why students kept shouting (kumikilig voice pa). I felt more excited but nervous at the same time. Indeed time was up for preparation, we needed to go in convention center. While were in bus were so quiet living in our own world thinking what will happen in convention center. However when were there already it was unexpected that it was overcrowded, we can’t go inside because there were many supporters in there, until the director of osafa decided to go back in school. On the other hand our adviser didn’t allow us to go back without doing anything. We still went inside despite of those many people. Luckily we were got inside easier than those other supporters whose stay outside. Security guards prioritized students to get inside, especially us we have mission in that event. Sadly we didn’t have chance to conduct interview due of lacking time. The event was already started. We just listened to their platforms. Time was up again we needed to go back in school. Were quite disappointed for the efforts we made but then nothing happened but still were glad because were given a chance to witness their platforms.
Before I ended the day, my friends and I ate together in McDonald for giving ourselves a reward. hehehe

so what?
On the other hand, looking it in positive view, not all actors or artist received such bad feedbacks. Vilma Santos received compliments from the people she handled. People love her and according in television people will support her every time she will run. Tito Soto was former senator he is running again for the same position this year’s election. Though there’s a bit issue in sudden joined in administrative from opposition. But during delivering his platform in convention center he cleared out that he don’t want fight against PGMA anymore, he prefer to have peace and join in her group as member of the Team unity. Cesar Montana questioned also his capabilities but still I heard some good comments for him unlike other artist who’s running in this year’s election.
In my case, it is sad for them to be misjudged, but I can’t blame people to say bad comments on them, in the first place we’ve been through bad experiences. Nevertheless we shouldn’t closed our minds for them, we should give them chance, in the end it is still our own decision weather we vote them or not. We have our own bet. I believed the most important is we have the same goal and that goal is to improve our country.

Best friend or a lover?
Everyone has someone in their life that’s willing to lend an ear, someone who is always there through their ups and downs, someone who can their trust most and knew even their hidden secrets, and someone they used to live in their everyday life.
What if this someone starting to fall in love with them?
Majority of the people who has best friend was experiencing this kind of situation, fallen in love with their best friend. In some movies, whether it was Filipino or foreign movie, the story was ended in fallen in love with each other, otherwise it was depressing ending.
People kept having best friend but there were instances that they can’t avoid regarding to their feelings. Sometimes even in one group or what they called “barkada” happen this matter. They were happy to feel in love even sometimes there were moments that they were afraid in accepting the fact that they were in love, it shouldn’t be good at all in having unusual feeling toward their best friend. Nevertheless they remain strong in supporting their feelings and in absorbing gradually the hidden love in their heart. However some people experiencing worst thing in falling in love. Some people saying that “it’s hard to fall for your best friend and hide it at the same time” this sentiment proved that they’re willing to sacrifice to be silent and handled it alone. It can be possibly because they’re afraid to lose the friendship. They might think that their best friend will evade them if they knew their real feelings. On the other hand they still in love, and what they experiencing is natural feeling it is acceptable because it happens in reality. In fact most of the successful relationship was started as friends. It‘s easy for them to accommodate each other because they already knew their indifferences and similarities. It is natural cause to develop with their best friend. They said that being affected and felt jealous was the signal that they started in falling in love though others defend that it can be jealous friend. I t has a point but to think it deeply the root of that jealous was simply the meaning of love and that love can be develop and can turn it into real love. Jealousy is the word that can poison the mind, it can kill the heart and mind of a person. Even how hard they hide they’re feelings and how many times they’ll deny that they’re not in jealous, it can still revealed toward their actions. On the other hand, there are people prefer to chose being a best friend rather than a lover. At least in best friend there are no breaks and cool off unlike in lovers. They treasure most the friendship and chose to feel free. They ignored their feelings and tried to move on, sadly but that’s life. But not all are agree in that. There are still people who believe and hoping to express their feelings as much as possible. They believe in happy endings. Moreover they were best friend and it is possible for them to have the same feeling.

Little goodbye
Why we felt sad when we knew that the reason is good
Is that what they called selfishness? Or simply the word “miss”,Miss the person you value most. The person you used to call your best friend
How can we know if we’re being selfish, if the truth is,we're just afraid to lose someone we treasure, someone we used to know for a long time, the person who see us as family. How can we know if the limitation is over? What are the signals to observe that we’re being selfish already? How will we know?
Words are difficult to answer, words that bothers my mind. Maybe for me it was difficult but not for the others. Sometimes we tend to be happy although I know that’s the goal of everybody. But I believed being happy is depend on us on what ways we do to make feel happy. There are many ways for us to feel the happiness. Being selfish I think is natural for mankind, they not intentionally to act in that way but they accidentally do because they are afraid to imagine themselves being alone, and they make sure they won’t call them a loser. They afraid to woke up one day without someone they call friend. I maybe one of them but I’m trying to wok it out, because being happy should be fair. Both of you must feel the same.
“So many question but the answer are so few” I loved this lyrics by Side A and I agree on it. Sometimes there are many questions, that even how hard we find an answer it still unanswered. But we kept believing and hoping we can search the answer for it. But still life goes on. Even how many trial we experience or how many times we felt that there something wrong, we should to continue life not only to continue but to enjoy it.

expect the unexpected
I never expected that the comment we received in VJ Hunt 2007 was flattering. I expected compliment like good work, nice program something like that, but to hear that it was the best VJ Hunt ever produced, hello? It was so flattering. I can’t imagine that what we did is the best among the VJ Hunt ever. All the risks, effort, time and attention that we spent in that program was brouhgt us to the next level, in a way looking ourselves as a real mass comm. student. VJ hunt was the accomplishment for us that I should be proud of. It made me realized that I can, we can organize a program like the VJ hunt. I’m also proud to Mar for the idea of retro, it helped the program to be alive and much interesting, also Gean, Mic and especially Cris for being a good host. I realized that Gean could be a great dancer hehehe. On the other hand, Cris did her best even I knew that she can do that but still she proved that she can handle a crowd in her own humor. Mic also did her best though she said that di daw siya mabenta hahaha and Julia also for the participation.
Before the program started, I was nervous for the dance number of the candidates. I rehearsed them with the help of Vanessa before the show. We used the CD for rehearsal temporarily, while waiting for the Cas band. We planned that the candidates were going to dance with the Cas band. Suddenly in the last minute rehearsing the dance with the Cas band, the band and the CD we’ve rehearsed did not matched the beat and the countings. The candidates started to ask why the steps changed. And I really don’t know what to do, I can’t change the steps that moment because there was no time. I thought it will get worst if I do that. I talked to the band to adjust their timing for the sake of the dancer, so there were changes in the dance.Then I finalized the steps to all the candidates in backstage because there were already audience outside. Then the program started with their dance, but then again the Cas band weren’t ready yet.To avoid the dead air, they played only the CD. So I started to get nervous again because the steps were changed. There was no choice, so Vane and I went to the front where they will see us to give them the signal on what step they will do. Thank God the candidates were fast learner. But still in the end it was overwhelming because the audience kept on shouting and cheering according to their own bet.
I’m still flattered that despite of the nervous and effort we did, it resulted good. Thanks to the ABMC3- Myk the one, Cris, Jel, Mex, Mavic, Matitu, Kay, Mic, Spring, Lord, Renddy, Rv, Archie, Annalou, tinay, Vane, Ira, Rona, Kath, Joowoon, Melford and especially Gean and Mar. Wavyou guys!!
Also the Candidates thanks..

unwind
In my case, I did funny things like laughing so loud, made jokes and everything to be funny. I set to be energetic and hyper. After having fun with my classmates, I decided to went home and because it was late already. The moment I stepped my foot in our house I started to dance, any dance. I laughed and I shouted. My brother was the one who opened the door and wondered why I’m acting that way. I explained why and he understood it. That night my brothers and my sister was in good mood so they rode with my jokes, I believed that I influenced them being hyper, because they also laugh and laugh. Hahaha. I enjoyed the music, I dance whatever music played. I ate my dinner with them and we chat about the funny memories we experienced. Suddenly I felt my eyes needs to rest, then I prepared to sleep, I brushed my teeth, washed my face and ready my bed and then ssszzzzz...I fell asleep. Hehehe. Then I’m ready for the next day.

atlast!!
This year Vj hunt was the best VJ Hunt ever produced. Vj Hunt was every year project by SAmaskom and organized by third year mass comm student. VJ Hunt was divided into two parts. It has Pair and solo category. WHen I was in first year college I already watched VJ Hunt and our class helped the third year student for the preparation of the event. I was amazed for the setting of the stage and I admired the third year that time because the idea of the event was creative and beautiful. When i stepped in second year, i witnessed the VJ Hunt again, we helped also the third year for the preparation, I still enjoyed in watching the event. Afterwards its our turn
to organized the event, we should do the way the third year did.
Gean decided to make this year event VJ Hunt different from the past years. He planned to invite high school students for the pair category rather chosing college students. He gave us task from different school to give an invitation. We did our assignments we went to our designated school. On the other hand Mar was the brain of the theme retro. She offered her idea and the good thing it was approved to ma'am Virgy. Mar also planned the designed of the stage, she made ideas on how the stage looked like a retro. So as a group we helped to set the stage according to the plan. We did our best to present well the event without the help of the other year mass comm.
Almost one week, we arrived early in school just to fix the needed props. We came home late just to have sleep. On the day event, the final day we arrived early to fix the stage. Time ran fast it was time for the VJ Hunt. The show already started, the audience started to scream, shout. Every noise I heard that time saying that the event was successful, I enjoyed watching the event and I'm proud at the same time. After show, i know for myself that the show was so good and thats it, but later on Gean annouced something about feedback from the event saying that the VJ Hunt was the best VJ Hunt ever produced and that was from ma'am virgy. We felt glad and I realized that we did the best among the VJ Hunt I've watched before. I am proud to say now that I am a part of the event and I'm proud also to my dear classmates.

Online or printed newspaper
It’s comfortable to use printed newspaper because there’s no radiation. Online newspaper sometimes can irritate the eyes, it can cause headache.
However there still difference between the two when it comes to physical appearance and content. Online newspaper is more organized than printed newspaper; you don’t need to browse on the other page just to look for the continuation of the headline. Basically the online newspaper has no continuation page it can be read easily the whole story.
It’s messy to read printed newspaper, the ink will stick on your fingers, and it stinks because of the smell of the ink. Unlike in online newspaper it’s not messy and does not smell anything at all because you’re just holding a mouse to scroll in the computer.
There’s advantage in online newspaper, when it come to news online newspaper can easily updated anytime. Aside of that, online newspaper has breaking news, unlike printed newspaper, when it published they need to wait another day to publish again.
Lastly, Printed newspaper is for everyone it’s practical to use, I mean it’s affordable, just go to near store and buy it, unlike online newspaper, you need to have computer and it should have internet at the same time.

Is he?
It was unexplainable why the named Mike arroyo was always on the media regarding corruption.
If ever the first gentleman Mike Arroyo was truly committed in corruption, why until now he was free? Isn’t he should be in prison if ever he did illegality?
I don’t think he can do that. The mere fact I knew that his wife was holding decorum as a president, he can’t do illegal projects like corruption. There were saying that Mike went to abroad to escaped all his problems in our country, and to escape all the scandalous he brought to his respectful family.
But if you think about it, if all the accusations were true, how come the judicial didn’t do something, I mean why they didn’t make an action to arrest Mike, but instead they let him go to abroad? because of Gloria? C’mon... law is a law, nobody can disregard law.
Ping said that mike arroyo was the owner of Pidal account. However the evidences found fake, other saying it was just a photocopy. It shows that he tried to destroy mike’s name, for their purpose? I don’t know maybe they want also to destroy the name of President. Ping thought ha can replace Gloria if ever he won the case.
I think Gloria won’t allow other people to destroy her name as easy as that. And I believe Mike also won’t do anything can destroy his wife reputation.

great pretender.
There are people who see us blissful, have a smile in their lips, they're wonderful in dealing with other people,they can dance gracefully, sing in different tune,crack jokes all the time and laugh all night long….
But try to make a pause… in one snap it can change all you believe it is.
Even how many happy faces they can show, there still one point for me to realize that I am right. I can see in their eyes that although they're happy, it is still agonizing inside. I admired them the way they handled it. I wonder how will the pain last and until when they suffer from being imprison to themselves. I can’t see the point, I can’t understand why they tend to be silent even though they're hurting inside.
I lay down on my bed thinking what are the probable reasons why they need to keep it to themselves. Why they prefer to fool themselves believing the pain will go on without solving it. They are becoming dependent on time, without helping themselves.
I see myself to this person (nameless haha). Through my darkest days before, I choose to be self-reliant of my problems. I admit that I am a great pretender when it comes in my emotions. Everytime I started to feel bad or feel lonely, that was the time I pretended that I’m happy. The more I felt lonely, the more I’d pretend I’m happy. But one thing can people recognize me if my laughter was real. They can see it in my eyes. (Revelation haha). I can’t pretend to myself that I’m happy but it’s more difficult to teach my eyes to pretend.
What’s my point?
Back in my high school days, I was afraid to tell my friends what’s going on. I was afraid on seeing my friends lonely and felt bad because of me. I hate sharing my feelings because I knew they will sympathize to comfort me. That was a waste of time! I pretended that Iwas happy and no problems for them not to be bothered. I never became sarcastic to them, I acted like that only when I felt problematic. I hoping that with simple smile and slight laugh can light my path and erase all the problems within. That was before, I’ve changed now. I grew up. (Not by height! Haha)
Then my best friend arrived and confronted me, asking if there was a problem. Even how hard I shed my face and how many times I commanded my eyes to behave, still my tears flowed down. My mind and my emotions did not meet anymore. I cried to the bone and released all the pain I felt inside. (sniff sniff) it felt like there’s no ending. Then my best friend embraced me. I didn’t stop until the pain started to fade away. Even without words through my tears with the presence of my best friend It took like my problem was solved (I don’t know how to describe but the feeling was so good).
I‘ve learned that even if how many friends you have, there still one who can feel the same with you. Who can sense if there’s something wrong with you even it seems clueless. The one who knows what makes you happy and the one knows what makes you mad. The one who can understand you even there’s no reasons to understand. The one who could make you feel safe. Finally, the one who can say through his/her eyes saying “I care”.
So I hope you already found the one for you. =}
