"The Meeting" Meetings are very common in todays society. It plays an important role in creating something new. Its hard to do a project alone, and extra hands are very useful. But you cant just start making the project without their approval. They too have their own ideas that they want to share to further improve the project. This is where meetings come in. To brainstorm and create a perfect project for everyone. The Grand Project In our subject MIL, our teacher gave us a project. It is to create our own media company. It was very exciting at first, because we would act like a real media corporation. So we picked our directors. Leaders of each department. Three departments are made. Print Media, Broadcast Media, and New Age Media. So we have to do this interview thing with them to actually get in a department. Sadly, I didnt make it to the interview because we ran out of time. But I got accepted anyway in the New Age Department. A department just for me. Full of t...

"Cameras" Years ago, people just invented the very first camera. Its as big as a house that can capture an image of a time when life was happy. That was the first step for humanity to look at things in a different perspective. Technology has advanced throughout the years, making improvements for the camera. Nowadays, cameras are found everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE. They are on your phone, laptop, even drones. Yet, people dont really know how to use these things. All they know is just point the camera, and shoot. But theres more to it, and once you learn these tricks, you are one step closer in seeing life in a different perspective. Camera Angles In school, we learned about camera angles. Each angle makes the shot more better and emphasizes which character or object we should focus on. Here are some examples of camera angles. Wide Shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some rel...

"Examination" A school year in Grade 12 consists of Two Semesters. Each semester has Two Quarters. And every quarter, has a quarterly examination to determine if we really did learn something. And this is very important and should be taken seriously because, 30% of the grades come from here. And its what parents usually look at to see if you are doing good in school. What I hate is that, parents think that when you fail at the exam, you fail at school. Well this is partly true, but examination isn't the only factor in getting grades. There's also quizzes, seatworks, homeworks, and reciation. All of these contribute to one whole grade. But instances happen that, a failed examination pulls down your overall grade. So its really important to take these exams seriously. But its also not all where grades come from. The End Here ends this weeks blog. I just hope my exam results are good. See you next week!

"Lets Dance The Night Away" Twice Dance The Night Away Practice Video Dancing is a well known art used by everyone. It expresses what words can't express. An act of communication full of emotion. Though many people are not skilled in this particular art form, I look up to those who are. I admire these kind of people, and I want to be one as well. It does sound funny and impossible, seeing me dance. But who cares, its what I want to do. And I hope I learn how to dance someday. Dati Dance Practice For two weeks, we were tasked to do an interpretative dance cover of the OPM song Dati. We were grouped into four, all tasked to do an interpretative dance cover. Each of us has our own interpretation, and expected to do well because of the two week time given to practice. Sunday is when we will perform this dance. I hope we do well, and have fun at the same time. Online Test We also spared our time for our review on the Quarterly Examination. We answered two sepa...

"The Importance of Information" Information itself are just letters to combine to make words that we combine together to create meaning and purpose. And we have been doing this ever since we started communicating. Information is a very powerful weapon. It can create and destroy lives. But we cant really stop this from happening. Every action has an equal or opposite reaction. So we need to be careful on what information we will convey to others. Its a double edged sword. What is Information Literacy? What is Information Literacy? This is the question that we will find out today. We were provided a video explaining what is information literacy. We were given 45 minutes to accomplish this task. In the video, the most iconic part was the so called "The Big 6". The Big 6 consists of Task Definition, Information Seeking Strategies, Location and Access, Use of Information, Synthesis, and Evaluation. These are the steps or guidelines defining information literacy....

"To Say or Not To Say. That is the Question." News are the main source of information that us people rely on. It is important to know what events are taking place at the right place at the right time. For without these information, we will be left behind living in the past. But, how reliable are these news? And why does it seem like news these days are so similar and always have the same topic of discussion? Debate Last week, we were asked to debate on a topic whether news should be free. If all news should be released to the public whether it is important or not.  So we did our research, and had some mixed results. But for me personally, I prefer news having freedom in what they will say and do. Sure it may be chaotic and unorganized but, these are whats happening today. These are the things that are happening that we are not aware of because news is so controlled. So with that, having free news is really an important thing that we need. To be aware of our...
