The Cimorelli

This past few weeks, I got addicted with the Cimorelli band. This band is composed of 6 sisters namely Christina (19), Katherine (18), Lisa (16), Amy 15, Lauren (11) and Dani (10) and all of them can sing! I discovered them when I was scanning different covers of the song "Dynamite by Taio Cruz" in YouTube. I first heard them sang this song in acapella and I actually loved it. They also sing songs by Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Jackson 5, etc.

MATH+BIO+JOURN= :l :/ :(

Tomorrow is the first day of our 2nd quarter examinations. The subjects that we need to get are Math, Biology (Science) and Journalism. Math and Bio are two major subjects and Journalism is a minor subject. But even though Journ is a minor subject it can be also confusing like Math and Bio. Math II is easier compared to Bio. All you need is to analyze and memorize the equations on how to get the answer. Biology, on the other hand, is very confusing. All you need for you to answer is to focus, analyze and understand the lessons so you won't have a hard time in answering the questions. Journalism involves news and current events so I need to be aware of what's going on everywhere today. Also, you need to know the terms that is needed in writing a news. If all of these would happen in just 5-6 hours, I don't know what would happen to me.

So I hope, tomorrow, my mind wouldn't make things mixed up. I hope that in time that I will answer the questions I can answer it without making a guess.

I always keep in my mind that I CAN DO THIS! :))

(Even if I can't fully understand the lessons in Bio. ) :(

Talumpati.

For our 2nd quarter project in CAF (Filipino) we have to memorize a talumpati or speech which should be 3-5 minute long. Most of my classmates searched their talumpatis over the internet that's why when they presented in front of everyone it's just like a repeat. But mine is written by me that's why I did not have a hard time memorizing it and I different talumpati from the others. My talumpati is about nature.

Here's it is.

Nasa harapan po ninyo ako ngayon upang ipahayag sa lahat na ang ating bansa, pati na rin ang buong mundo ay naghihirap sa labis-labis na polusyon at sa mga sakuna na nangyayari dulot din mismo ng masasamang mga kamay ng mga tao.

Baha at iba pang mga kalamidad, ito ang mga sakuna na nangyayari sa iba’t ibang lugar sa mundo. Pagbabago ng klima, isa rin sa mga epekto ng polusyon at resulta ng mga masasamang ginagawa ng mga tao tulad ng pagmimina. Pagkakasakit o pagkakamatay ng mga tao- ang polusyon sa lupa, tubig at hangin ang siyang nagbibigay hirap sa mga tao lalong lalo na sa mga bata dahil sila ay walang ka muwang-muwang tungkol dito. Ilan lamang ito sa mga nakakatindig balahibo na mga kaganapan ngayon. Makadudulot din ito sa pagbaba ng ating ekonomiya dahil kung sobrang-sobra na ito, wala ng turista o dayuhan ang pupunta dito sa Pilipinas.

Ang mga masasamang nangyayari ay dulot ng polusyon o di kaya’y ang kulang na atensyon at pag-aalaga sa ating kapaligiran. Gaya ng usok na nanggaling sa mga malalaking pabrika at mga sasakyan ang siyang unti-unting pumapatay sa ating Inang Kalikasan. Dagdag mo pa rito ang walang habas na pagtapon ng mga plastik at mga basura sa paligid lalo na sa ating mga ilog at ang paggamit ng mga mangingisda ng dinamita sa pangingisda ang nakakaperwisyo sa mga taong namumuhay malapit sa mga anyong tubig.

Maiiwasan natin ang mga samu’t saring mga sakuna kapag ipinagbabawal natin ang pag-gamit ng mga CFC’s o chlorofluorocarbons at iba pang mga kagamitan na nagdudulot ng polusyon. Bawat isa ay makatutulong sa muling pagbuhay ng nagbubuntong hininga nating kalikasan. Simple lang. Magtanim tayo ng puno sa paligid. Gumamit ng mga kagamitan na makatutulong sa pagligtas ng ating kapaligiran. Bawas-bawasan natin ang paggamit ng plastik, kung maaari gumamit tayo ng bag o magdala ng paglalagyan ng ating mga bibilhin sa pamilihan o sa tindahan. Ulitin ang paggamit ng mga bagay-bagay o pakinabangan ang mga gamit na basura . Sa madaling salita sa Ingles ay “to reduce, reuse at recycle.” Itapon natin ang ating basura sa tama nilang kinalalagyan. Huwag rin natin kalimutan maglinis ng ating paligid araw-araw. Simple lang, hindi ba?

Ginawa ng Panginoon na maganda at kapakipakinabang ang paligid para sa ating kaginhawaan ngunit sino ang ating dapat sisihin sa pagkawasak nito?

Tayo ang sumira kaya’t sa atin din nakasalalay ang pag-asa, ang pag-asa na makararanas ang ating mga kabataan ng mundong hindi balot ng kalamidad at polusyon.

Sana, sa huli, masasabi ng ating Panginoon na tunay nga nating inalagaan ang kayamanan na kanyang inihandog sa atin- ang kalikasan.

Hope you've learned something from it. :))

I Love StreetDance!!

StreetDance is one of my favorite dance film. It is different from the other movies that I've watched because it is British. I really enjoyed it because I love watching dance flicks and I watched it together with my loved ones.

Here's the plot.

In inner city London, a street dance crew is on the verge of breaking up after its leader, Jay, leaves the group unexpectedly. The group loses the use of their rehearsal space, forcing them to try and raise money or practice in other locations. Eventually they secure a space in a ballet school, on the condition that they include five ballet dancers in their routine. At first, they struggle to get along, but they all become friends in the end.

One of the teachers at the ballet school, Helena, takes Carly to a ballet where she starts getting ideas for their routine. When she arrives home, Carly finds Jay waiting for her and the two spend the night together. During a dance battle in a club the next night, the team learn that Jay has betrayed the team by joining The Surge, a rival crew. Jay brags about his sex with Carly and Tomas, a ballet dancer, punches Jay out of anger. Jay is furious and swears revenge. Carly, upset over the betrayal, leaves the club and is nearly hit by a car before Tomas pulls her out of the way. Tomas then takes Carly back to his apartment where they dance on the roof, eventually kissing. Carly then leaves him alone on the roof, while they both look at the sunrise and smile.

The next day at the school, Carly announces the new name of their dance crew: Breakin Pointe. Another teacher at the school, outraged that her students are being corrupted, deliberately plans a Royal Ballet audition for the same day as the street dance finals. The Ballet dancers promise Carly they will make it but the auditions were running overtime.

In an attempt to give Breakin Pointe more time to wait for the ballet dancers, Carly's friend Eddie (George Sampson) goes out onto the dance floor and starts dancing, surprising the crew. The ballet team turn up at the final anyway, and their teacher Helena drives the judges to the final so they can see the dancers perform. The routine is a success, Carly and Tomas kiss after the performance, and the crowd is enthralled. Jay is furious that the Surge have been beaten and he's lost Carly.

The film ends with Breakin Pointe and Surge dancing to N-Dubz' "We Dance On".
