Christmas

For Filipinos, Christmas Eve on December 24 is celebrated with the Midnight Mass, and immediately after, the much-anticipated Noche Buena, a traditional Christmas Eve feast. Family members dine together at around midnight on traditional Noche Buena fare, which includes: queso de bola (Spanish: "ball of cheese";), "Tsokoláte" (a hot chocolate drink), pasta, salad and hamón (Christmas ham). Some families would also open presents at this time. Christmas Day in The Philippines is primarily a family affair. The Misa de Aguinaldo is celebrated on December 25 and is usually attended by the whole family. In the Roman Catholic and Philippine Independent Churches, it is the main means of celebrating Jesus Christ's birth.The Misa de Aguinaldo is often celebrated between sunrise and 10 a.m., a schedule preferred by many Filipinos who stay up late on Christmas Eve for the night-long celebration of the Noche Buena.Preferably in the morning, Filipino families visit members of the extended family, notably the elders in order to pay their respects. This custom of giving respect has been an age-old tradition in the Philippines called "Pagmamáno"; this is done by bringing the elder's hand to one's forehead, while saying Máno Pô. The elder then blesses the person who has paid them respect. On December 31, New Year's Eve, Filipino families gather for the Media Noche or midnight meal – a feast that is also supposed to symbolize their hopes for a prosperous New Year. In spite of the yearly ban on firecrackers, many Filipinos in the Philippines still see these as the traditional means to greet the New Year. The loud noises and sounds of merrymaking are not only meant to celebrate the coming of the New Year but are also cast out malevolent spirits. Safer methods of merrymaking include banging on pots and pans and blowing on car horns. Folk beliefs also include encouraging children to jump at the stroke of midnight so that they would grow up tall, displaying circular fruit and wearing clothes with dots and other circular designs to symbolize money, eating twelve grapes at 12 midnight for good luck in the twelve months of the year, and opening windows and doors during the first day of the New Year to let in the good luck.

''Dalaw''

After the groundbreaking success of Ms.Kris Aquino’s previous horror movies, Feng Shui(2004) and Sukob(2006), respectively.She is back once again, after 4 years, to give you another hair-raising movie. ''Dalaw'' from its trailer seemed to have puzzled everyone about what exactly ''Dalaw'' stands for and who is behind that shadowy entity who’s after Kris Aquino’s character (Stella).From the get-go this film is honored to all of the horror flicks Kris Aquino has done in the previous years.With the “Queen of Filipino Horror Movies” sticking on her name we are likely to get induced upon watching the film.Based on earlier reports, the movie is supposed to include Mariel Rodriguez, Valerie Concepcion and Coco Martin on the cast.But unfortunately their characters were shelved for several reasons and one of which is the timely revision of the script.Now, the only sure cast of the movie are Kris Aquino and Diether Ocampo (who is going to play as Kris’ husband).As of October 1, 2010 Kris said that they’re still auditioning for the role of her daughter in the movie.And for that, I assume they’ve got a child star to play the role by now.Because if not, they must have missed their first shooting day which is according to Kris Aquino on October 11, which was apparently just yesterday.It is said to have been calendared for 36 days of shooting, giving them enough time to submit their entry before the deadline.Kris Aquino tweeted about her role and I quote “A woman being framed for murders she didn’t commit. A woman fighting for the love & life of her child.”

Camp Rock 2

The story is this Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato) returns to Camp Rock to be reunited with all of her camp friends . Shane Gray (Joe Jonas) and his band mates and brothers Jason (Kevin Jonas) and Nate (Nick Jonas) arrive at camp . Meanwhile, Axel Turner (Daniel Kash) , the director of the new Camp Star located across the lake, invites Camp Rock to attend a friendly bonfire. He is also Brown's (Daniel Fathers) former bandmate . After seeing Camp Star's musical performance ("Fire") by Luke Williams (Matthew "Mdot" Finley), Camp Star's top performer, some campers, including former Camp Rock diva Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin), decide to leave Camp Rock and join Camp Star along with many of the staff after Axel promises to double their salaries. (To draw the campers in, he also mentions the cabins are air conditioned). Tess quickly becomes partners with Luke on all of Camp Star's performances. Although they sing very well together and look like they make a great team onstage, they constantly fight over the spotlight and believe that competition is all that matters. Meanwhile, Nate falls in love with Dana Turner (Chloe Bridges) , daughter of Axel; however, Dana's father refuses to let her to talk to him because he is the competition. Since most of Camp Rock's staff has left, Mitchie and her friends who have stayed behind struggles to keep up with their new schedules, but eventually everyone finds their corner. When discussing the future of Camp Rock, Mitchie and her friends plan a musical showdown between the two camps at Final Jam. Mitchie, Shane, and all their friends go to Camp Star to confront Tess, Luke and the Star campers and challenge them into a musical showdown . Camp Star agrees as Axel suggests they should challenge each other to Camp Wars, a musical showdown being broadcast live on TV. Back at camp, Mitchie takes a leadership role in the organization of Camp Rock's performance. The campers grow weary and frustrated with Mitchie , so headed by Shane, all of the campers have water balloon fight to teach Mitchie a lesson about fun at camp. Shane becomes frustrated that he and Mitchie aren't spending enough time together, so he prepares a moonlight picnic date for the two of them, which she declines . Jason and the Junior Rockers are watching Tess and Luke during their rehearsal . After realizing what they are up against, the camp then decides to make Mitchie and Shane the lead singers at Camp Wars. At The Final Jam, Tess and Luke perform their song ("Tear It Down"). Although Camp Rock put their heart and soul into their performance with Shane and Mitchie singing lead vocals, the rest of the campers as dancers and musicians, and a video made by Trevor Kendall (Frankie Jonas) of their time together airing during the song ("What We Came Here For"), Camp Star wins. Most likely due to Axel's biased ad campaign which leaves Mitchie devastated as it means that Camp Rock will now have to close down. When it shows them at the showdown as the results are announced, it is in slow motion, and it shows a junior camper uncrossing her fingers, Camp Star celebrating, the Camp Rockers looking depressed, and Mitchie crying while Shane hugs her, Nate and Dana hugging. Tess looks happy at first, but when she sees how upset her friends are, she stops smiling and tries to comfort Mitchie. Back at Camp Rock, Shane and Mitchie are putting away some banners and things, and the two finally kiss. The camp meets together for the very last campfire. But while the entire camp sings around the campfire, something amazing happens. Camp Star begins to come over in canoes, saying they don't get to have campfires at their camp and that they'd like to join the Rockers. Most of Camp Star's campers talk about attending Camp Rock next summer & Tess also asks if she can come back to Camp Rock next summer, as the phone lines in the office are booming. In the end, it appears that Camp Rock won't have to shut down after all, since they have so many people wanting to come.

Being a Student

Being a student is so hard, you have to do everything..Like homework,seatworks,relax for how many hours then study,study,study again ugggghhhh.But i know it's for my own good.For me it's very hard because I'm not that kind of person that every night I'll open my books or notebook to study or read.I hate that attitude, now I'm trying my best to study hard so that someday my parents will be proud of me.I'm starting to know the bad effects of not studying,I realize how important studying is.If you didn't study and you got low scores your gonna blame yourself of not studying..
