The Hobbits (or There and Back Again)

The Hobbit (2012)

Yehey!!! According to the sources (the powerful Web) malapit ng ilabas ang movie na about sa pag-tatagpo ng "One Ring" at ng hobbit na sa Bilbo Baggins (ang ninuno ni Gloria) hehehe. at Yun ay ang Pelikulang The Hobbits (Warner Bros. - Rumored Film company to produce)

I actually read the books on my trip to Ilocos, and kung ok lang po sa inyo, e ganto yung kwento: (Spoiler talaga ako!)

Bilbo was contracted by 12dwarves and Gandalf the grey on a mission towards the lonely mountain to defeat smaug the dragon, who stole the treasures of the dwarves. Of which good old Bilbo was marked as a thief! well this was all because of Gandalf labeled him so.

At first it was hard for Bilbo to be the Thief that his comrades expects him to be, even if he is quite quick to move, sharp eyed, and has a keen hearing, for he is not a thief at all!

After finding the ring and escaping Gollum from in misty mountains, who would want to eat him that time, he suddenly became accustomed of being a thief, escaping and being the guide for them.

The book, I do not know about the movie, is packed with adventures that one can imagine. adventures other than defeating the dragon Smaug (they are not the one who defeated Smaug), full of Goblins, Trolls, Wolves, Eagles, Wood-Elves, Warrior, Dwarves, Poisonous Spiders, and of course Middle earth scenery with lots of runes!

Runes is considered as the Roman letter or the Alphabet we are reading right now.

Peter Jackson will direct the Hobbits as rumored director del toro already expressed that he will not direct the hobbits anymore. Ian Mackellen, will be Gandalf the Grey, Hugo Weaving as Elrond, Cate Blanchet as Lady Galadriel, Andy Serkis as Gollum (rumored), Rumored Bilbo baggins are: Toby Maguire, Shia Lebeouf, Sylvester Maccoy, Daniel Radcliff.

Cant wait to watch and add the Hobbits the movie in my collections!

(yaahhhoooo!!!!)

ROTC sa Kolehiyo!

Bigla akong nagulat marinig ang balita na ang ROTC ay ibabalik "daw" sa kolehiyo bilang isang mandated course instead of being optional and in replaced of the community service.

Pasintabi, para sa mga hindi nakakaalam ng ROTC, it stands for Reserved Officers' Training Corps na unang na-established dito sa Pinas sa University of the Philippines noong 1912 at ang adhikain nito ay ang pagtrain sa atin sa leadership, problem solving, strategic planning, at professional ethics. (source: Mr Wiki Pedia)

The opinion is not always favorable in all instance of an idea, there will always be pros and cons.

PROS: it would be great to see ROTC back in college as a mandatory course to instill in our students the values of discipline that most of the Pinoys dont possess right now and would greatly help in training our men in terms of emergency, not necessarily war or combat, but like floods and typhoons and other similar events.

This would train Filipinos to be alert and useful in any possible need that may arise.

CONS: Papanu daw ang mga bading? sana ma-exempt naman daw sila sa ROTC dahil di daw nila kaya yun. (tama ba yun?)
maging additional units sya na babayaran ng mga magulang sa kolehiyo! (sino ba dapat magbayad?)

Which I remember a very distinguish man (Fr. Rev. Reynaldo Jimenez) Education up to secondary is indeed a must for every student that we should not take away from them, but having you tertiary education is a privilege already which you must earned with all your might if your not in a good state - financially. U need to earn it so that you will live by it through your life.

Oo nga naman!

So ROTC in college is indeed a privilege, na karamihan sa atin ang tingin sa kolehiyo ay isang daan lang para magkaruon ng diploma at makapagtrabaho.

Iba na kasi ang mindset ni Juan pagsinabing kolehiyo. teka teka bakit sa side topic umikot ang kwentuhan? sana pala kolehiyo nalang pinagusapan natin (hehehehe)

ROTC, magandang adhikain, or kadagdagan lamang sa pwedeng maabuso sa hazing?
ROTC, kaya mo bang patatagin ang mga Eba na dating Adan?

Pero naisip ko palang maraming bata (like me, feeling you always) ang magrereklamo, ayaw kasi mapagod, maarawan, mapawisan, at magalusan. Kaya siguro wala ng ibang alam gawin ang katawan kundi ang maglaro ng "bahay-bahayan" at dumami, or kaya maglaro ng computer games na astig at cruel.

O anu ba anu ba? ROTC sino ka ba talaga?

PNoy Confidence Rating- 85%

Malufet!

While watching ANC last night, the performance rating of the president-elect NoyNoy Aquino stands at 85% as per rating and survey of PulseAsia. And along the way, two Pinoys were interviewed as to address the report on performance rating, well, as the saying goes you have to see the opinion of both parties and these opinions will attest to their assertions.

Well, opinions goes into both side, the dumb and the wise.

(guess who's the Dumb!)

Woman: Mataas ang expectations ng mga Pinoy kay Noynoy kasi yung sa No Wangwang Policy nya, tinupad nya talaga! kaya tumaas ang kumpyansa ng mga Filipino sa kanya.

Man: Lagi naman mataas ang survey rating kapag bago ang Presidente, and eventually goes down as the time of his Presidency transpires. mataas lang talaga ang kay NoyNoy compared to other Presidents, but we'll see if survey's holds true through his term.

haAy. . .naisip ko tuloy bakit bilib na bilib sila sa No wang wang policy ni P-Noy?


TAKOT SIGURO ANG PERA SA WANG WANG.

(Sigh?!)

Childhood Addictions!

While having a merienda with my Senior (DQL) we had a little chat that fascinated the both of us (and probably students inside the canteen sitting with us). Well, its about childhood memories we've been through.

We talked about how you play with your so-called imaginary friends, hahahah! at kapag may dumaang eroplano palakasan kayo ng sigaw ng mga kalaro mo ng "BAAAA-BBBYYYYEEEE! BAA-BBYYYEEE!" habang kumakaway.

At kapag may helicopter, kunwari naman may guerra at papuputukan ang helicopter! "TADADADADAAAAD!BOOOOOM!"

But the greatest part in which we had our laugh at high is when it comes to anime. the Gundam Wing episodes that was aired at GMA 7 before.

Nakakatuwa tuloy isipin, na dati kasama ko pa sila Heero Yuy, Trowa Barton, Duo Maxwell, Wufei, at Quatre Winner. hahaha

To tell you the truth, nagpapasalamat ako sa kanila kasi pinagamit nila ako ng kanilang mobile suit at sinama sa kanila adventures!

Yaaaahhhhooooo!!!!

F. Sionil Jose (an open letter to NoyNoy)

When i was still experiencing this feeling of dismay for what had happened in the last May election, that cheating on elections and irregularities are now (somehow) was lessen through the automated election, this great joke is being shoved to my face and I feel this great shame (for it was indeed, the truth).

It was proven that the Filipinos are not yet matured enough in choosing candidates while casting their votes last May. It was a shame for I am also, a proud Filipino.

F. Sionil Jose (or Frankie) a Filipino Novelist, writer, and journalist sent to Noynoy an open letter before he was about to take oath. Sir Frankie is one of the Notable Pinoy who is still living and at the age of 85, gained already tons of wisdom from life experiences.

This open letter to Noynoy is almost a double black eye for me, as even he (Sir Frankie) admits the great mistake of the Filipinos and calls Noynoy Presidency as "THE DARKEST PART OF OUR NATION."

Few notes that we may pick-up from his letter are:
1. You are not my choice. . . you have no noble legacy from forbears.
2. Your father collaborated with the Japanese (hukbalahap?)
3.Your father did not leave a legacy because he did not became a president.
4. Your ultimate judge are the poor Filipino people. . .they can be found in your Hacienda Luisita
5. Your Mother, we loved her, she promised us land reform but it never happened, she restores oligarchy through the revolutionary EDSA I.
your MOTHER became PRESIDENT when your FATHER DIED. . .
YOU became PRESIDENT when your MOTHER DIED. . .

I do not want to spoil much of the contents of the open letter. . .
We (I invite all who have a Filipino blood running in their veins) can read the whole letter through this link:

Grow up kid, wake up from your slumber, your a Filipino.
NoyNoy "can" be the spark, lets pray for our President and for the nation.
its not only his Job. its OUR job!

SoNA! Malapit Na!

Excited ka na ba marinig ang mga plano ng bagong presidente?

hindi siya ang choice ko, tulad ni F. Sionil Jose (abangan ang susunod kung kwento) pero gusto ko marining ang mga bagay na kanyang paninindigan at ating panghahawakan mula sa kanya.

malaking bagay ito, dahil di ko talaga makita ang pagasa kay P-Noy and I'm waiting for his first 100 days in office before we make a comment.

Go Pinoys! mabuhay ang lahi ni Andres at Jose!
