21st Thought: SoM Speech Choir and Ignite Contest

December 22nd of 2015. This is the second and last day of SoM English term culminating activity. This day is the Speech Choir and Ignite Speech contest. This is the day we want to end. This is the day we don't look forward to. Why? Because once again, we will show the SoM students how unprepared we are. Woo! I feel like I'm about to lose confidence with myself on that day. Our speech choir performance was something not to be bragged about. So we have high hopes on our representatives for the speaking contests and on AC151 to take home the bacon. Just that and we're satisfied.

20th Thought: SoM Inter-class Public Speaking Contest

Oh God. December 21st of 2015. This is the first day of our culminating activity for the SoM English term. This is the Inter-class Public Speaking Contest, the competition for the SoM students' Public Speaking 2. Held at the APC Auditorium and organized by the English Resource Center and APC Speaks, this contest serves as "the only chance to make the impossible happen." What do I mean by that? I mean that whoever gets into the final round would have an excellent grade regardless of his/her daily performance throughout the term. Of course that would be the business there. That's why every speaker in this contest prepares themselves to their utmost capacities to get at least to the final round.

19th Thought: Edge of Tomorrow Movie Review

*Author's note/s: May contain spoilers.


Another movie review! God, I'm not really good at this kind of writing. It's really difficult to write a movie review without exposing some spoilers or without giving the exciting points of the movie. Now I know how hard it is for writers to write these kind of stuff. Today's the fourth day of the new year 2016 but I still haven't change. I'm still good at procrastination (lol). This would be the last movie review for the term (and tomorrow's the deadline so I said I'm good at procrastination) and hopefully, I would give more reviews of movies or series (most likely anime) I watched and games I finished. Did I make you excited? Haha!


As usual, it was a Friday and Friday means Film showing in EEP. We watched the movie Edge of Tomorrow starring the Mission Impossible lead star, Tom Cruise, and the assistant Emily of The Devil Wears Prada, Emily Blunt. The movie's catchphrase is "Live. Die. Repeat" as I have seen in our professor's DVD case. I was like, "Homahgahd what does that mean? It's not even the fantasy type. It's Sci-Fi and that's the catchphrase? Interesting." And that made my eyes glued to the movie.
