Parasyte

We watched Parasyte at AVR. At first, I thought it was a Korean movie because of their faces. I forgot that Japan is well-known as the anime creator. This movie is about the parasites who wants to rule and exist in the world as a human. It's such a gross movie because they eat the head of humans and they kill humans, but it was an amazing movie too.

I almost cry when the head of Shinichi's mother taken by A (a parasite). When Shinichi's mother got home, she is not Shinichi's mother anymore. To prove that she is not the mother of Shinichi, her head was transformed into a gross creatures and pierced his heart so that Shinichi will not be able to live anymore. I was amazed when Migi did everything just to save Shinichi's life.

I think that the girl who is also a parasite wants to experience how to live as a human in this planet Earth. She is pregnant and she knows that the baby she is bearing is a human. She wants to experience how to be a mother as a human. But the father of this child is also a parasite and he wants to eat the baby as the girl gave birth to it.
I can't wait to watch the part 2 of this movie because I want to see how the girl takes care of her own baby even if she's not a human.I also want to see what will happen now to the world when the parasites won the candidacy for being the leader in Japan. Thank you again Ms. Eliz for letting us to watch this Live Action Film. I'm looking forward to the next movie we are going to watch.

Anti-smoking Campaign

Cigarettes are consumed by millions of people every day. It is taken by people for satisfaction or for contemplation. They consume lots of it without the knowledge of it being fatal. The ubiquity of the cigarettes is what makes it dangerous so Asia Pacific College (APC) has created an anti-smoking campaign to reach to students about harmful effects of smoking. Though APC has a smoking area, which is ironic, they plan to raise awareness to students about the several effects of smoking cigarettes.

On one hand, if APC is trying to reach out to students about trying to avoid smoking, it should not have provided a smoking area for students to take cigarettes. Other students who do not smoke are being affected by the second-hand smokes of the smokers. If APC is trying hard to persuade students not to smoke, it should not have built a smoking area that can be seen by all of the students. It is like APC is trying to tell other students to take cigarettes by flaunting the smokers outside. Better yet, they should not have built it at all.


On the other hand, APC is trying to convince students to stop smoking because of its harmful effects to the body. Carcinogen, a substance that can cause cancer, is found in a cigarette. It also has tar which is dangerous for the smoker’s body. Furthermore, it creates Carbon Monoxide which is hazardous for a smoker’s health and for the non-smoker if they inhale it.

With the information given, students should be influenced not to smoke. Students try smoking because it is a way to relinquish stress they are holding, but they do not realize that they are only giving themselves more problems by means of it. It is best for students to stop trying it so badly or to detach themselves of it.

SoM students start the event with a parade, which have gone from APC to Lapu-lapu Street and vice versa. The drum and lyre from the Sto.

Although there are some minimal problems with regard to the music which makes the audience wait with eagerness, the crowd goes wild when APCDC starts to execute their astounding performance. With their complicated dance moves, everyone is left speechless and astonished. This maybe the exciting part of the opening program of the SoM Week.

Lastly, the beautiful and handsome muses and escorts of different programs have shown their bright smiles and stunning faces which have left everyone amused. The ground is filled with cheers when the participants have walked with pride in the ground. The muses and escorts have sure owned the stage when they start to walk and pose for the audience.

Ang Tatay mong Kalbo

    Ang tatay mong kalbo is an absurd play that shows nonsense and being absentminded of the two main characters that makes the story funnier. It is pretty funny seeing our classmate Joshua act as the Hepe I the story. We’re proud of our batch mate because he also brings the name of our course.  Many situations in the play proved that it is absurd like, they just repeating the same words they are telling, and kept shouting and fighting over nonsense and little things. 


They usually repeat their hyperbolic words that make the play entertaining and funny. It is entertaining in a way they express their feelings and thoughts about something and on how they show exaggeration over simple things. They also have this housekeeper named Maria that makes the play funnier. Maria really feels comfortable at Mr. and Mrs. Santos house. It really entertains me especially when Maria revealed that, she and hepe are both in love. They have different traits and different attitudes but the reason that they manage to understand each other is because they feel that they are comfortable when together and having the same interest of telling tails. Ang tatay mong kalbo really brought me a happiness and good vibes. I hope that they would make more of this kind of play and entertain stressed students like us.
