Countdown of "lasts" ... and some "firsts"
Friday, June 5, 2009 @ 7:54 PM
On monday, my inferno will begin, oopsie, OUR inferno will begin. Classes will resume once again. I'm gonna be on my senior year. So that means it's going to be my last year in high school. Thinking about it makes me sick. I love high school. College for me is scary.Moving on, my last year in high school will be filled with "last". Here are some of it:
-last enrollment on stc
-last first day as a high school student and as an Stc student
-last retreat with IV-1
-last dance production
-last intramurals
-last Palihan on febuary
-last seg session on febuary
-last bandfest
-last audition for bandfest (hopefully)
-last time to wear the school uniform (on graduation)
-last time to sing the college hymn as an Stc student (on graduation)
-last card day in Stc
Although my senior year is filled with "lasts", I'm going to experience something new too like:
-elective classes that I chose (CWJ!)
-high school graduation!
-Upcat and other college entrance exams
-performing in Bandfest (hopefully!)
-high school graduation picture! (haha!)
I know that there's going to be A LOT of challenges coming our way. College entrance exams are on the top of my list. Good luck to us, seniors! We can do this. See you all on Monday!
So long summer. 'Til next year!
Hooray for surveys!

Miracles of the heart vs. Miracles of the mind
Monday, June 1, 2009 @ 11:23 PM
(Angels and Demons review.)The Book
Breath-taking. I give it a 5-star. I loved it! Robert Langdon's back! Together with Vittoria Vetra, they've wandered all over the Vatican City to search for the missing anti-matter. They all thought that the mastermind in this crime was the group Illuminati. Their motive: to erase Christianity. But in the end, it turns out that Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca was behind this crime for he wanted the Christian world to not depend on technology.
The Movie
I admit. I have high expectations for the movie. But it disappointed me. First, they have erased some important details (like the one wherein the chief cardinal was telling Carlo that he's the Pope's son). Surprisingly, the Pope's still chaste because he and his girlfriend used some artificial processes for them to have a baby. Second, they changed some of the characters' name. The camerlengo's name became Patrick while Leonardo Vetra (Vittoria's father) was named Salvino. Third, they didn't include some of my favorite characters in the book. Namely, Maximillian Kohler, Gunter Glick and Chinita. :(
Review
No wonder Dan Brown's a well-known writer. He tells stories that makes our heart skip a beat. Not only that, this specific story of his makes me think if the group Illumanati really existed. Although the book laid some logical arguments against the Church, it doesn't made my faith weaker. Henceforth, I came to realize that we don't need science to explain what cannot be explained.
What I've learned in this book is that we must not be so fed up by the booming technology around us. We must take time to ponder on things for our faith to be strengthen.
