Intensive

The Purpose of writing – up is to promote and call the attention of music lovers that there is a new band called ANTIMANO. Its members are Biboy Rempillo(Vocals/Guitar),Tati Abellanosa(Guitar),Pipo Estiko(Bass) and Allan Floralde(Drums). And their first song titled Beautiful burns. It has already its music video under the onechemistry film/wildlife Inc. produce by Christine Cerre – Dela Cruz and Zel Buena.

The production that made the music video comes to life are Director: EJ Salsedo, Asst. Director Costaṅeda;  Mac and Hazel Hernandez Editor; Alf Alicap prod. Designer; and  AnneVida Make – up artist.

The plot of the video was intensive and describes the modern society. At first maybe you won’t feel its intensity, but at curious to the writer of the song. But for me it is a good song, and you can easily relate with the lyrics. The ambiance of the music video is a mix of an old school and modern. But this is not advisable to be seen by teenagers or maybe they can just listen to it with their eyes close. Well I’m impressed as how the actress – Shane Santiguiel and Mercedes Cabral portrayed their role. Such made the video as if it is real and you can imagine that the way that their acting is really happening to some people, but no offence to some who are in a relationship like what they are portraying. The video was almost perfect it has titillating , lively, and it has a little bit of controversial  

One of our national Heroes

 When Nov. 30 always come the first person comes into our mind is one of our national hero Andres Bonifacio. I can still remember when I was still an elementary what we study about him. Actually I will not write anything that says about him being one of our national heroes because we already know his legacy.  I want to talk about his life with his family before he became our hero.

Andres Bonifacio was a founder and later Supremo ("supreme leader") of the Katipunan movement which sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the Revolution. But after that being one of our heroes he was just an ordinary person who just had an ordinary life. Bonifacio was born November 30, 1863 and he was the eldest of five children. He was born and raised in Tondo Manila. His father Santiago Bonifacio was a tailor who served as a lieutenant mayor of Tondo while his mother Catalina de Castro worked at a cigarette factory. When Bonifacio was still in his young age he has no choice but to dropped out of school so he can support his siblings after both their parents died from illness.  He sold canes and paper fans he made himself and made posters for business firms. Bonifacio was also a part-time actor who performed in moro - moro plays. Not finishing his formal education, Bonifacio was self-educated. He read books about the French Revolution, biographies of the President of the United States, books about contemporary Philippine penal and civil codes, and novels such as Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, Eugene's Le Juif errant and Jose Rizal's Noli Metangere and El Filibusterismo. Aside from Tagalog and Spanish, he could speak a little English, learnt from his working for J.M. Fleming and Co. Bonifacio was married twice, first to a certain Monica who died of leprosy. He then married Gregoria de Jesus of Caloocan in 1893. They had one son who died in infancy. Bonifacio was a Fremason and a member of the Gran Oriente Español. In 1892 he joined Rizal's La Liga Filipina, an organisation which called for political reform in the colonial government of the Philippines. However, La Liga disbanded after only one meeting as Rizal was arrested and deported to Dapitan in Mindanao. Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini and others revived La Liga in Rizal's absence and Bonifacio was active at organising local chapters in Manila. La Liga Filipina contributed moral and financial support to Propaganda Movement Filipino reformists in Spain.

So Amusing

The first place that comes out to my mind when someone ask me where to find the nearest and the lowest price amusement rides in Metro Manila is Star City.

  Star City is the oldest amusement rides here in the Philippines. The place began as a seasonal carnival during the Christmas Holiday season during the year of 1991, but since the management notice that the place is a big hit they made it permanent so the public can still go every day. The star city offers thrill rides and attractions for the whole family. These rides range from slow-moving choo-choo trains to the extreme Star Flyer, a rollercoaster that has claimed a life in the name of adrenaline rush.

  For those not into rides, the park has special sections dedicated to recreated worlds. The Dino Island (P100 entrance) aims to be a mini Jurassic Park, complete with hundreds of robotic dinosaurs that imitate the movements and sounds of the real thing. At the end of the dino tunnel is a small museum of prehistoric fossils, including what is said to be the skull of a Homo erectus and the skeletons of a 20-foot dinosaur. For those in for a scare fest, Star City has several horror houses, albeit lackluster for some guests. One is Egyptian themed, with frighteners costumed like mummies and dead pharaohs. Just across the park’s “Egypt” is the “Antarctic,” or the Snow World, that is. The temperature in Snow World (P100 entrance + rent for jackets, socks and mittens) drops below zero, enabling visitors to enjoy a piece of winter wonderland in tropical Manila. This section’s carved slides are a smash hit among children, allowing them to experience sledging amid a background of giant carved ice statues, ice castles and igloos. A special kind of camera, the one that can withstand extreme chill, is needed to take photos inside the exhibit.

  Near Star City’s entrance, there is a marked foyer leading to Aliw Theater, one of the oldest theaters in the country. Located just across the street from CCP, Aliw Theater offers free magic shows, acrobatics, ballets and other performances, especially during holidays. On the other side of Star City is Kart Track, a karting circuit catering to those who want to try go-karting (P250 per race, 12 minutes).

So what are you waiting for go and try to enjoy the place where you can enjoy with your family and friends.

Lucky and Unlucky Of Being A OFW

    Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) is called to the Filipinos who work abroad but if you ask me I do not see them as a worker I see them as our modern heroes, why? Because you see they work so hard even thought they are far from their families they need to explore to other country just for their family and make their lives better and that’s one thing that a Filipino has a love for their family they will do what it takes just to see them happy and wealthy, I say this because like other family who has a relative in abroad I have a brother who is currently working in a hotel in New Orleans with our other relatives, some Filipinos are lucky like they became famous, rich some even have their own business and some is given an award for being honest and for having a concern to their job just like Sharon Cuneta’s line in her movie Caregiver “I care about my job sir I care about you” and that somewhat a favorite line of some workers in abroad who’s dedicating their lives just to show to the country that their working that we Filipino’s are a hardworking people and that’s what makes us unique from other country, can you imagine we Filipinos are almost all over the world everywhere we go we Filipinos are easily adopt the others culture, but not all Filipinos are lucky in abroad some are ended up miserable like getting hurt by their employers some say they never get their complete salary and some are being abuse like rape, getting bit up and some are ended up dead, so its kind a scary  to go to some other country if we are not secure enough if that place is safe for them so if you plan to work abroad I think you should search or learn the place that you want to work so you can be safe and far from danger , and one of the ugliest and my brother told me is the one that is making some Filipinos ending up being deported is some Filipinos to and that is making me sad knowing that co-Filipinos are the one destroying their other Filipino co-worker and that’s what we call crab mentality they make other Filipinos fail from what they are good for, so if you are planning or thinking of working to another country please make sure that your intention of working there is good and always be care full.
