Hey! Everything in this competition were awesome. The AVPs and the Ignite speeches. Cheers to the people who won all the trophies. We're finally doing our best to compete in the overall and final event of our term. By the way, this is us before the competition, getting ready for everything that we can give and express throughout this piece, credits to Ron Padilla. The biggest and the enormous thrill were the performances. I was astonished by how the different blocks managed to do that kind of choreography most especially our section. wooooooooooooh. Expect the unexpected it is. I feel bad to the other contestants of the speech choir that didn't made through and we're one of them.

I feel bad by how the way it was, like you know, other blocks cheers for us, waiting for us to win but suddenly, we didn't. We were like **** that shit. Well played CPE151, well played. We were shocked by that tho. It's hard for us to attain but damn that was a hurt. Well, anyway we still have a trophy from Giuzellie Filoteo, our representative for the Ignite speech. Another cheers to ABMA151 for bagging most trophies. hahahah Thank you guys!



Here is us now after the competition. Although we didn't won the trophy, we still won our hearts. Good Job ABMA152 and still, Congratulations. We are family at all, and family means, no one gets left behind because we're good not bad, and we'll never be bad and that is good. :D farewell to all of us. To our EEP professor, Miss Eliz Reyes, Thank you Mam! You're the great one and you know that and everyone knows it as well. See you again next semester! Goodluck!

The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall is a 2011 British film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera, which in turn was based on the French novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux.






To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera, three special performances were filmed at the Royal Albert Hall, the third of which was screened live worldwide on 2 October 2011.(Ref:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_at_the_Royal_Albert_Hall)


Prior to the 2004 movie version of The Phantom of the Opera, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum, the Phantom has undergone several screen adaptions.

It is not just the figure of the mysterious music lover that haunts the story of The Phantom of the Opera but also that of the remarkable American film star, Lon Chaney Snr., for, more than anyone else, he created the image most readily associated in the public mind with the tale – that of the disfigured man skulking through the labyrinths of l’Opéra masterminding the career of his beautiful protégée. Indeed, it is arguable that if Chaney, the Man of a Thousand Faces, had not starred in that hugely influential 1925 silent movie, Gaston Leroux’s story might well have remained in obscurity – as the original book most certainly has done for many years – instead of inspiring a whole series of screen and stage adaptations during the past half century.


“The Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants, or the concierge. No, he existed in flesh and blood, though he assumed all the outward characteristics of a real phantom, that is to say, of a ghost.”

– Gaston Leroux

Here's a sneek peak, enjoy! :D

It's fun how being a bookaholic give you so much to learn and give in. There's this quote I saw earlier stating

“Old books exert a strange fascination for me – their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.” –Lauren Willig. 

I like how this quote sums up so well what I love about old or second hand books. I like to romanticize the idea that books have two stories, one the words on the paper, and second the story of all the people who have picked the novel up and formed thoughts about it. How did they feel about the book? Why did they pick it up? What was going on in their life at the time?
Yes Yes, I love books too because who knows, it might be true. I'm not a bookaholic, it's just that I like reading some especially knowledgeable ones like the books of NatGeo, Discovery and many more. It's hard for me to describe the whole story of me loving to read books. But let me tell you some confessions of some students in being a bookaholic.

They said that being a bookaholic helps you improve or hone your knowledge, imagination and creativity that would possibly help you along if you want to create a good and interesting story. I see their faces giving in the feelings telling that being a bookaholic is the best thing you can ever live with. There's this another line again that will help you along,



“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.”– J.K. Rowling

Guess who? guess what? do I ever have to say that? No, no just kidding. A man of great speech, Let's welcome, Benjamin Alves! :D

At the first glance, I am thinking of who he is? what's his purpose there at school? I said to myself that he looks familiar, I think I have seen him somewhere. That was my reaction towards this guy after seeing him along while I'm buying some drinks at the convenience store. My friends told me that "yeah he's an artist plus a comedian from the past, well until now I think?" So I started to say "ohh, that's why", and they keep saying the "yeah" word. Hahahaaha it was very funny, until one moment came, luckily he was able to fit in in the elevator we are riding.

I didn't knew that he was the one being told, the one they said "behold, Jon Santos", then the crowd started to cheer and yell like "woooooh" and I was like "wooooh the what?" hahahaha then my friends were laughing at me again. Then he started his speech upon holding the microphone saying and expressing himself as a gay who grew in a family of military men. As I was searching through, he is one of the three Philippine show business personalities who have Argawanon blood. He is more popularly known as a Filipino comedian, actor and most especially an impersonator.




He was there, right in front of us, speaking for the passion of us students. I thought that it would be something unsual but he was telling it directly to the point where we really need that in order to achieve our passion. There are 10 things that he said that would make us or help us improve along and achieve the lifetime goal, and the following are:

1. Listen
2. Learn to enrich
3. Learn what you love
4. Knowledge is everything
5. Win the war before you fight it ( A statement he quoted at the book " The Art Of War by Sun Tzu)
6. Adjust, adapt and evolve.
7. Learn to look back
8. Learn what your divine is
9. You are never alone in your journey
10. Lose yourself
