Play: Atrium: Table of Talk
Every 3rd Quarter, it has always been a tradition in our school to have a Playfest for the higher levels. And for us, Grade 10 we decided to make like a mash-up of three love stories from 3 different countries. We combined the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Chun-Hyang from Korea, and the love story Maria Clara and Ibarra from the Philippines. (I know the title sounds weird. Hahaha :P)
Romeo and Juliet:
Chun-Hyang:
Maria Clara & Ibarra:
We've been rehearsing for a while now. I hope it turns out well. :) Wait for our play!!! :D
Sayonara Piano Sonata
Sayonara Piano Sonata
Enter Hikawa Naomi, son of a music critic and Ebisawa Mafuyu, a young prodigy pianist who suddenly dissapeared from the music world. Together they formed a rockband with members involved in classical and rock music. 
I really liked this manga because of its story and art. It made me more interested in music. Too bad I couldn’t hear the music it plays while reading. But it’s really awesome. I hope there’s an anime for this one! J J J
LSS! :P
SOMEDAY WE"LL KNOW
The New Radicals
Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving, I don't know why
A million questions, I need an answer
Two years later, you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Amelia Arehart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love just once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the Titanic cry
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety seventh time tonight
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
Someday I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
Oh, my love, oh.....
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
Someday I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
I'm loving this song! :) :) :)Will I have the guts to sing this on our Musicfest??? Hahaha :P
Debate!
Last week, we had a debate in our economics class. The topic was “Free Trade should be allowed in all countries.” Each group had to give a speech about its beneficiality, practicability, and necessity. We should also cross-examine the opposing group, give facts and evidences, and defend our stance. On the first day, we were quite nervous especially because there was confusion in the assignment of tasks. But surprisingly, it went quite well. We even won and we had a chance for the final debate. Then for the final debate, we were up against John’s group. This time, we were twice much more nervous because the judges were all teachers, there was a podium, and we were even wearing formal attires.
The topic was “Should we (the world) establish diplomatic relations with North Korea?” but our group thought that the topic was “Should we establish diplomatic relations between North and South Korea?” At first, we felt bad because we got the topic wrong and worse because we really prepared hard for it and even had our visuals and speeches ready, yet not being able to use it. But then later on, we just told each other to do whatever best we could and just improvise a lot. It was somehow a funny situation for us. We had to revise our speeches or just make it an impromptu speech. We just tried to answer and find arguments and try to make sense of what we were saying. Even though we lost, and we knew we were going to lose, we still felt good and relieved. I also felt proud of our group because each of us really tried the best we could and did the tasks assigned to us. There were also no blame games or sad faces afterwards but just saying “Good job!” to each other and smiles and laughs.
It was a great experience for all of us. Not just academically: by experiencing an actual debate, presenting researches and proofs, and speaking in front of a crowd, but also in our character-building. We were able to practice sportsmanship, build confidence, deal with unexpected situations and try to look at the positive side. And most importantly, teamwork---learning to trust, cooperate, and support each other. Therefore, on the long-run, all of us were winners.
Just For Fun!
