The movie that we have watched has several nominees and best picture.. the title of this movie is "Magnifico".. this movie showed a typical filipino peoples living in a brgy., poverty, carnival, gossip etc.. these are sometimes seen in a brgy. in provinces. The story was nice because the child actor brings it naturally, the story is about a boy that helped a lot of people especially his grandmother that he is helping for its near death. but in the end the boy died and he used the home made coffin that he built, this is a very touching story, because you can't usually see or encounter a child like magnifico, i mean the kid is so perfect that he helped a lot of people in their brgy.. well for me even if the story did not end in a tragedy, i think it will still be a happy ending.
Next is the last story which is entitled "Ampalaya", this story is like a science fiction story. the story focuses on the "Ampalaya" which on the year 2050 it is illegal to plant it because one big company is planting it already. the main character of the story "Juan Dela Cruz", he is planting ampalaya for a living and to survive his family, suddenly a group of people came into his home and arrest him and his family.while in court he is found guilty and gave the punishment of lethal injection and reclusion perpetua or lifetime imprisonment for his family for just planting and eating ampalaya.
I don't get it why would they suffer just for a simple vegetable that it is their own, as discussed in class some said that it is possible to see it in the future that only one holds the bussiness like vegetables, meat etc... but i think it is present now a days, because i think rice and cooking oil only one person holds it and i think he is a senator.
another term has passed and i enjoy blogging and listening to reporters and to my classmate that brings the class lively on a boring time.

novel.. novel.. novel..
Sorry again for this late post of blog, the have finished two novels. “Reconnaissance” by Tara F. Sering and “Smaller and Smaller Circles” by F.H. Batacan.
Ill talk about my reaction on the first novel, now I know why miss pick the guys to report about this novel since Reconnaissance is a chick-lit novel. Well for me it was a bit hard to understand the novel at first, since it is a very short novel I had the chance to read it again. This novel made me realize that it’s not easy for girls or should I say women to move on that easily on a break-up situation, they go to different ways or experimentation just to forget the hurt that they are feeling inside.
Well this story was written by an author who is writing an article on a magazine for women which is the cosmopolitan magazine so its easy to guess that her approach of writing the novel is really for women, and the language that she used and also she used a first person that is like a third person view. Confusing? Well it’s hard to explain on how she write the novel. But the novel was nice even if I’m a guy who read the story, usually guys won’t appreciate chick-lit novels, well it worked for me. If I’m going to rate it, ill give this chick-lit an 8 out of 10.
Let’s go on the second novel which was the longer novel than the first novel that I have read. The “Smaller and Smaller Circles”, this novel was great because where can you read a crime novel that the crime solver was two priest, I admit that when I read the first few part of the novel I got bored with it because if I’m going to see it in a movie it’s all talking and talking and talking. But as the I get closer to the end of the book the scene is getting better specially on the chapter that the two priest are close to see who the criminal is, but as discussed on class the story was like spoon-fed to the reader because of some extra words that the author added to the novel some said that on the middle part of the novel they already know who the killer was, because on the novel there 5 or 7 page that has a quote that is in italic font so the reader will know that he/she is killer and the clue symbols the author used is easy for the reader to find out who the killer was. Well for me it worked again for me the novel was nice.
