Aliens, could be with us!

Parasyte is a movie starred by Shota Sometani and directed by Takashi Yamazake. In the movie, Shota portrayed Shinichi Izumi.

The movie is all about a boy (Shinichi) who has been invaded by an alien, which he named, Migi. Usually, the aliens would go inside human's brain, and Shinichi was lucky for his brain was not taken over by the alien because he has his headphones worn. Not lucky enough, Shinichi's hand was invaded instead. Migi then explpained why he has to use Shinichi. The alien told him that if one of them dies, one of his kind would also die. At first, the boy was unsure if his going to trust the alien, but he agreed eventually. That is because a parasyte had killed his mother and had her body taken over. Because his has become eager of fighting the aliens.

I have learned in the movie that there will come a time that our loved ones would be gone. That is because in the movie, Shinichi doesn't seem to appreciate what his mother was doing for him. He only realized that when her mother died. So, as long  as our loved ones are still with us, we should let them feel that we love them and appreciate their efforts for us. Give time for them, and do not just focus on other things, such as phones and other gadgets.Love them as much as we can. That's all.

Sana Dati

      "Sana Dati" is not just a typical love story where couples will have happy ending. This movie is realistic. It shows that love is not only about happiness, it is also full of complications.
The story started with a flashback of the love story of Andrea and Andrew wherein they will be Andrew opening a flower shop. While Andrea was moving things, she found a ring inside a flower vase and Andrew started to propose to her. The scene was cut after that (present time) Andrea was getting married without her knowing that the cameraman (Dennis) that her auntie hired was the brother of her ex-boyfriend (Andrew) who already passed away. At the first place, we thought that Andrea was going to be married to Andrew, but unfortunately, we were wrong. She was getting married to a politician named Robert. Later on that day, Andrea found out about the cameraman and they both went to the rooftop and discussed about the traits of Andrew. Andrea's parents got worried because they can't seem to find her. After talking for awhile with Dennis, Robert found Andrea at the Rooftop and continued the wedding. After the wedding ceremony Andrea left a piece of paper for Andrew telling him to escape with her after the wedding. But Dennis didn't follow her and decided to go home instead. After a few weeks Andrea visited the grave of Andrew and handed back the ring that was given to him.

Reflection: There are circumstances in our live that we don't plan to happen. Maybe it is our God who planned for those to happen. Remember, he has better plans for us.

The Real Jon Santos

Last February 11, 2016, Jon Santos visited Asia Pacific Collge. He visited not as Miriam Defensor, Erap Estrada, PNoy, and not every personality he has impersonated. He came as himself. He said that it was unusual for him to do that. I’m glad that he gave us the chance to know who really is.

In our school, he did a talk entitled, “Follow your passion, I did!” There, he did not just had a talk, but he also gave us a glimpse of his show, “WTF: Wala Talagang Forever… sa Malacanang.” We laughed so hard with his punch lines. Like everytime he says something funny, we died laughing. His humor is really undying. To make us laugh was not merely the reason why he came to the school. He came in order for him to share to us what he had experienced in his job, and through those experiences, he reminded us with some pieces of advice. In his talk, he gave us 10 things that we must give importance:

1. We must listen. How can we learn if we do not open up our ears and listen? Listening is essential, especially for teenagers. There are a lot of things we do not know in life, and the only to discover those is to listen.

2. All learning will enrich you. I agree with this. If everyday in our lives we’ll learn, everyday we could also improve our lives. That is because these learning could pave ways for our success.

3. Learning what you love will make you even richer, make you the richest person. I also agree with this. If we do something we love, no matter how that maybe, we’ll still be successful.

4. Knowledge is everything. It only tells us that above all things, knowledge is the most important.

5. Win the war before you fight it

6. Adjust, adopt, and evolve. It’s not easy for everyone to adjust. Then, do it gradually, and become someone new.

7. This is all rootless strategy.

8. Always be grateful, even in small things. Remember, great things came from small things.

9. You are never alone in your journey. You have your family and friends when you go on a journey.

They’ll support you no matter what, so do not be scared in doing what you want.

10. Love yourself and then let go of yourself. Lose yourself because it’s the only way to live.

                

       I’ll make sure I keep all of these reminders in my mind. That way, I can be successful in the field that I want to take.
