Caged Bird

Speech choirs are performance groups that recite speeches in unison, often with elements of choreography and costuming to help bring the speech to life.

Every English term of our school, the Public Speaking subject there's always a Speech Choir Competition. Just like the Chant and Cheers it also test your teamwork as a block or section. Every Speech Choir they will give you a poem piece that you need to make a choreography and how you will deliver it excellently. All the blocks that join the speech choir will fight for the champion for that Speech Choir Competition. The poem they gave titled THE CAGED BIRD by Maya Angelou. I would like to share a one paragraph in the poem.

The Caged Bird:

The caged bird sings   

with a fearful trill   

of things unknown   

but longed for still   

and his tune is heard   

on the distant hill   

for the caged bird   

sings of freedom. 

This is our group, combine of two blocks the ABMA 153 and ABMA 155 plus the other irregular students like me. This group was amazing because they made the steps two days before the competition and after the short day of practicing of step they made up amazing performance. While their practicing they having a lot of fun to work as one team and one sound. Their performance was really great also the voices that they add to impress the judges because there is no using of any instrument to make sounds just only there voices. 

Even though they don't won the competition, the more important is they enjoy their wonderful performance. The block that won the competition is from the course of Engineering. I would like to congratulate the blocks who compete the Speech Choir Competition that giving their time to practice and work hard just to perform. Especially to the Engineering students 

THE PUBLIC SPEAKING!

Do you have a fear of speaking in front of many people?

 If your asking me, its a BIG YES! because I'm kind of person that not talks to many people especially to those not my friends. I feel when I'm talking to people I usually think what their feedback when I'm talking in front of them. There is another reason that I don't wanna talk in public because I'm very shy and I'm not confident that I can do it. I always says to my self that " Just don't do it", I know that's not right to say because I'm lack of self-confidence I always think for a reason just not do it.

Public speaking (sometimes termed oratory or oration) is the process or act of performing a presentation (a speech) focused around an individual directly speaking to a live audience in a structured, deliberate manner in order to inform, influence, or entertain them.Public speaking is commonly understood as the formal, face-to-face talking of a single person to a group of listeners. It is closely allied to "presenting", although the latter is more often associated with commercial activity. Most of the time, public speaking is to persuade the audience.

In our school there's a subject called Public Speaking 1 and 2 or PUBSPE 1 and 2. This subject in only available to take when its English Term. Every Finals the professors of this subject will choose a student that will represent for their block or section for the Public Speaking contest. This contest will determine if your good in delivering your speech in many audience.

This is our friend, Jia she is one that will represent the block of ABMA 155. Speaking in front need your self confident if you don't have that it will ruin your speech. But it was just scary talking in front of the audience XD

Who wants to be a Millionaire!!

Who wants to be a Millionaire ERC Edition!

The "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" English Edition is one of the events in Asia Pacific College every College Week which was organized by the ERC. It just like a normal game show in U.S this T.V show was adapted here in the Philippines.

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire is an American television game show based on the same-titled British program and developed for the United States by Michael Davies. The show features a quiz competition in which contestants attempt to win a top prize of U.S. $1,000,000 by answering a series of multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty (although, for a time, most of the questions were of random difficulty).


But it different from the event of the school because the organizers of the event will not give you 1,000,000 pesos as their prize. The student wish that it was the prize because it is a lot of money xD you can pay your whole your college fees if you won xD

It is a game of knowledge. A game where good communication with your teammates is needed. The question given here was also difficult. If your asking me? I never tried to join in this event. Being a audience you can also feel the intense of the game and thinking the right answer for every questions. XD I would like to congratulate to the winners of the "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" English Edition.

Creative Storytelling

HEY GUYS!,

I will tell you about storytelling xD

Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, sound and/or images, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and instilling moral values.

Our school, Asia Pacific College (APC) has create an event called Creative Storytelling and Confession of a Bookaholic Competition last March 30, 2016. This event challenge the students to give a creative storytelling and chance to win prize for our school.

What is your story? the question in that picture. Everybody has a different stories in life some people has  a sad stories but other mostly shares there wonderful story of there life just to inspire other people who will heard their story. People are creating stories by their experiences in their whole life since their was a little child. In storytelling you can also express your feelings and emotions because it is more easier way to tell your friends or any people around you.

Hearing a creative stories can inspire you and it can also help your decisions. Everything in this world has a story even the animals and trees. Just like trees how it grew up from seedling to bearing fruit tree and how it manage to survive for the calamities everyday.

Based on Paddington Bear by Michael Bond, the film stars Ben Whishaw as the voice of the title character, along with Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman in live-action roles.

Henry Brown, a devoted risk analyst, is adamant that Paddington stay only one night while they find a place for him to live permanently. Paddington causes a series of accidents across the house, further isolating himself from the Browns.Paddington thinks he can find a home with the explorer who found his aunt and uncle, but does not know the explorer's name. Mary Brown takes Paddington to an antique shop owner who discovers that the hat bears the stamp of the Geographers Guild, but the Guild says that it never sent a member to explore darkest Peru. With the help of Mr. Brown, Paddington infiltrates the Geographers Guild archives and discovers an expedition to Peru was undertaken by Montgomery Clyde.

This movie teaches that you should love everyone even though what she/he is not a human.

Filipino Romantic Drama Film

Sana Dati - is a 2013 Filipino romantic drama film written and directed by Jerrold Tarog. The film is about a woman who stalls her big wedding when a guy with a camera shows up and reminds her of a love she once had.  It is the final installment to Tarog's Camera trilogy that includes Confessional (2007) and The Blood Trail(2009). The film competed under the Directors Showcase sidebar of Cinemalaya 2013. The film won Best Film and other technical awards at the festival's awards night.

The film is a love story about a woman named Andrea (Lovi Poe) whose wedding is thrown into disarray when a mysterious guy, Dennis (Paulo Avelino) arrives and reminds her of the man she really loves. The couple, along with friends and family, assembles at a hotel to do just that. But the arrival of videographer Dennis (Paulo Avelino) complicates matters. While ostensibly just asking harmless questions for the wedding video, Dennis has a hidden agenda that’s linked to Andrea’s past. And as the questions get more probing, and the day gets more hectic, it becomes unclear if Andrea is actually willing to go through with any of this. 

What I know in this movie is that Dennis is finding the girl like Andrea. But Andrea was going to married. She remembered that man who really loves because of Dennis. 

It just so sad that you cannot bring back the past so that you can correct all your mistakes. There are things that came for reasons that need to accept everything that will came to your life.
