The Phantom Of The Opera

The Phantom Of The Opera

The Phantom Of The Opera is the greatest theatrical play in the world until now it was made by the great Andrew Lloyd Webber. Andrew Lloyd Webber has written many play but the best one is the phantom of the opera.

when I watch the phantom of the opera I was really hook and it also interest me , the story is about a love triangle between the Phantom, Christine and Raoul. I really don`t like Raoul so I ship the Phantom and Christine. I really got stuck to it and I also watch it 3 times all in all so know I`m really into theatrical play, I already watch Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, Love Never Die and all of this are really wonderful but the one that stands out is The Phantom Of The Opera.

We watch The Phantom Of The Opera 25 Anniversary at The Royal Albert Hall the mane character are Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom and Sierra Boggess as Christine Daae

the two of them really fit the role their voice are really great and the songs you will have a last song syndrome because all the songs are really wonderful and have a story that connects to the character they portraying, in addition all the costumes and the props was really stunning.

I will share you a story about Ramin Karimloo life and why he end up on playing in theatrical roles. actually it was a dream of Ramin (The Phantom) to be the phantom. It starts when he was just 12 years old, their school have a field trip to watch the phantom of the opera  by Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman and he was really amaze by  the play so starting that day he dreamed to be the phantom.

So back to th play. I have to say that the two of them have a good chemistry, I thinkbecause the two of them are really close friends in real life. the play was perfect thats why for me they are the best Phantom and Christine.

My favorite song is musicof the night, think of me and The Phantom Of The Opera

To sum it up I recommend you to watch 25 ANNIVERSARY OF THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and to all the Phantom and Christine fans dont worry the two of them will be together, If you watch the love never dies it was originated by Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess so dont forget to watch.

My next blog is about Love Never Dies.

This movie is all about a two people (John Liu and Eve Choi) that lives in the same neighborhood they live in a  buildings right next to each other, separated only by a wall. the two of them are always close to each other but somehow they cant seem to find one another Its` like the two of them are always drifted away to each other.

Then, Eve had asked John for his telephone number, but the two never got in touch because she left her school bag on the train and lost John's phone number and as time passes by, the two of them still cant find each other so they decided to take job in abroad but one day an earthquake strikes and destroy the wall that separates their apartments then both finally find each other.

Speech Choir Competition

Speech Choir Competition

 

  

 December 22, 2015. the speech choir competition occur at Asia Pacific College. since Christmas is coming our theme is also connected to it. The speech that was given to us is "At Christmas" by Edgar Albert Guest

At Christmas

by Edgar Albert Guest

A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime.
When it's Christmas man is bigger and is better in his part;
He is keener for the service that is prompted by the heart.
All the petty thoughts and narrow seem to vanish for awhile
And the true reward he's seeking is the glory of a smile.
Then for others he is toiling and somehow it seems to me
That at Christmas he is almost what God wanted him to be.
If I had to paint a picture of a man I think I'd wait
Till he'd fought his selfish battles and had put aside his hate.
I'd not catch him at his labors when his thoughts are all of pelf,
On the long days and the dreary when he's striving for himself.
I'd not take him when he's sneering, when he's scornful or depressed,
But I'd look for him at Christmas when he's shining at his best.
Man is ever in a struggle and he's oft misunderstood;
There are days the worst that's in him is the master of the good,
But at Christmas kindness rules him and he puts himself aside
And his petty hates are vanquished and his heart is opened wide.
Oh, I don't know how to say it, but somehow it seems to me
That at Christmas man is almost what God sent him here to be.  

 this is the poem that we presented.

 Every group are oblige to present this. and I`m so proud of my block that we did it even though we did not win. one of our teacher said that just have fun doing it, and we did the part two of the event is the ignite speech competitionthe representative of our block is Laine Antonio and for me she did really great because she presented his speech without a single fear showing.

What is public speaking? Public speaking is the process of communicating information to an audience. It is usually done before a large audience, like in school, the workplace and even in our personal lives. many people fear public speaking but all the student that presented a speech did great.

Media literacy

Media literacy: Mobilizing the millennials as as Socially Responsible Prosumer`s

On the 25th of November 2015, we had a seminar at Asia Pacific College entitled  "Media Literacy: Mobilizing the Millennials as Socially Responsible Prosumer`s". 

Their was three speakers Ms. Edmallyne Remillano, Ms. Jan Maynard Nualla, Ms. Lian Nami Buan, all of them work in GMA network. These speakers are good because they were able to convince us that all of us can be news reporter. I think we learn much more in this seminar on how to write an effective news story and what to avoid and what is the everyday life of a journalist; another is about: how the social media blinds us about the truth because not all that is in TV are true I mean for example an interview they can cut the video and make it different by editing it so not all you see in TV are true. the speaker also shared a story their ones a man that was accuse in the social media because people thought that he was responsible for the accident. He was bash hard. an you see how social media can affect people lifes. the last speaker shared some trivia on journalism .

The seminar was great and I learn many things about media.
