I just decided to check out the official site for Twilight Saga: New Moon the Movie a couple of hours ago. Seems like it’s gonna be one of the most awaited movies to come out this year. Can’t wait for 11.20.09. Really like their color scheme, it’s brown this time (Hmmm…I just think it’s because of Jacob Black’s russet colored skin. Interesting.) Plus you could really get the concept of the movie by just looking at this picture.
Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for. The official new moon trailer is finally out. Based on the trailer, I have a feeling that they stuck to the book this time.
I have just been able to attend the freshmen orientation for the last two days. And in general, I was really having fun, for the most part. But one part of that orientation really ticked me off. And no, it was not the newbies that were going to enter this academic jungle, but something that was being discussed to them. Read more »
As one of the millions of fans of the Twilight Saga, I know everyone is excited for the upcoming New Moon the movie, the sequel to last year’s Twilight the movie. Looking for some updates this morning, the final casting for the movie was announced. Just skimming through the names and looking for the faces behind those names, I think the casting was very appropriate. Read more on the article at “Twilight Saga’s New Moon” Cast Revealed.
Being able to survive two years in this premiere institution, I could look back and see that I didn’t make the mistake of choosing to go and spend a couple of years for my tertiary education. Although the campus maybe that far from what some people consider ‘civilization’ which is the city proper, it doesn’t fall short of the UP spirit and legacy.
As I would look back at my high school days and compare them with my current life, I could really say “Whoa”, it’s really been quite a long time and everything has happened so fast that I’m suddenly surprised how different I was then. Looking back, I was very average on a lot of stuff, not really someone anybody knew around campus, basically your typical commoner who make up a big percentage of the student body.
I don’t know why people sometimes assume that we can do everything. Sometimes I feel that there’s sort of a pressure whenever you’re around them. I know that I’m not that good, just trying to get by the challenges the academe has put before us and hoping that I do make it through them. I don’t even know why sometimes I feel the pressure of doing everything precisely and accurately when the fact is that I have my own limitations and I also make mistakes just like anyone else would.
The first time I heard a Paramore song was just last year actually because of their songs in the Twilight movie. The first time I heard about the band was when I was in my freshman year in college I think but I’ve never been able to hear one song from this band. But I was really surprised that a few weeks ago, my classmate gave me a mp3 copies of Paramore songs. And I just put on my laptop for further consideration. As I played all the songs in the list, I liked the punk rock style of this band. Most of the songs are upbeat and loud but I also love the slower beat songs (like my favorite “My Heart”). And from then on, I’ve been listening to Paramore songs every time I have my mp4 player with me.
Regarding my last post, I wasn’t really myself at that time. As some of you may have noticed, my post was filled with raw emotions (mostly anger and frustrations…haha). Anyway, I just wanted to warn you that post was just a product of raw anger and heavy emotions. In short, once your emotions take control over your brain, you’re not really thinking straight and by posting a blog, in this way, I was able to let some of my anger out.
I was even embarassed that classmates found out my blog post (I think no one really noticed that day that I was posting on my blog site, but keeping it a secret was futile). I didn’t even know how people reacted to that certain post. But I think at first they were a bit afraid because they didn’t know I was fond of blogging out my emotions or they were just afraid that I was posting something really horrible.
I could respect anything you’d want to do in your life. I mean, hell, I even wanted that sense of belongingness like you do right now. Although I haven’t been able to undergo what you’re going through at present, I still know what it feels like to want to become a part of something, to belong and to feel secure around the people you trust. We’ve all been through that stage, as you might already know from our past. A handful of us used to wish to belong to a fraternity or sorority once in their life.
I’m not Barack Obama. In short, I think I’m not really the leader that people look up to. I’m just like everyone else, a typical college student struggling to finish everything on time. But why did I run, I ask. I’ve declined this offer in my freshman year but now that I’m in my sophomore year, I can’t hide from any excuses anymore.
I didn’t expect this chance to come to me just like that. I don’t even consider myself a potential candidate. But why the hell do other people see this in me while I can’t? I guess I was just used to living my high school life where I was always one of those who followed and never been a leader. I guess attending UP Mindanao has all its rewards to give a student. Although we may face different issues from time to time, we are molded into citizens of the society who have the potential to bring about change.
