What is your favorite application/software and why?

My favorite application is Instagram because it's simple and so addictive! its a fast and fun way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. This application makes it easy and fun to manipulate a photo with various filters and turn it into instant art, then with a few clicks, you can share your photo with a caption via Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks and I really find amazing at times is how some people can take such great looking picture with just their iphone and some editing apps. I really enjoy taking and looking pictures and I really love stalking artsy instagram feeds.

I WITNESS: "Kawayang Pangarap"

My Reaction: I feel so sad about what they've going through I realize that I'm so lucky that I'm able to eat three meals a day, a shelter to live and a nice education. It's very inspiring that mang joseph will do everything he can just for his children even though he wasn't able to study he knows his responsibility as a father. I can see that he really loves his children and he will sacrifice for them. I have question running in my head Why don't the rich politicians help these kind of people? It's very sad that the Philippine government is not taking care of the Indigenous people. But I really salute mang joseph for all the hardworks he have done, he carry all those bamboo everyday even his children helped him just to pay his debt.

I WITNESS 2005 MULTO NG NAKARAAN: MANILA FILM CENTER

REACTION: I was really sad about what happened at the MANILA CENTER imagine how many workers have died in that tragedy. The people who should be responsible for all of this is the engineer, contractor and imelda marcos. In the first place the engineer shouldn't agreed to rush the making of that building. Do you imagine how many months or years to build a firm building. And they also rationed all the materials that's why the building easily collapsed. People can't complain that time because of martial law they are afraid to speak. That's what power does to people. Sacrifice everything for the sake of their names. That's why NO TO MARCOS. It was really painful to watch the guy who was dying and all I know that GOD is only the one who knows the truth. I just want to add Howie Severino is an awesome guy he really took the video during the real incident that's a real journalist.

President Duterte's State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2016

My Reaction: President Duterte is so simple I like him the way he wear clothes as well as, he talk because he show who he was as a person and he is setting a very high standard in the government. His speech has impacted the government workers to do so and have their work on focus and disciplined. He is an absolute motivation not just for the politicians but also to all the citizens. I like all of his plans for the Philippines. His speech was not just excellent but very satisfactory, it's the time for to move on towards change for the better Philippines into drug-free country and prosperity to everyone. He has the potential to be one of the greatest presidents in history and I just hope that the Philippines will continue to progress.

Movie Review: Pixels

Directed by: Chris Columbus

Rating:  3 Stars

Movie Review: The visual effects are impressive, and there is a certain kick to seeing the human characters dodging barrels in a life-size Donkey Kong. This movie is like a journey back to childhood. When i was a child I also like playing video games but one thing i noticed in this movie is when the characters speak I quite don’t understand what they are saying because it has a low volume but the sound effects are very loud which I don’t like.

Do you recommend it?

Yes, it’s a nice movie and it has great visual effects but I recommend it to have subtitles for us to understand it well. The only problem is the sounds.

LINES I LIKED:

“I’m the Donkey Kong champion of the world.”

“Hello, my sweet, little boy. Look how big you’ve grown.”

In the film, it shows how the world can give you so many likes about the good things in life. The guy who appear perfect on facebook is the one who suffers the most and fake the most on facebook. He pretend to be happy on social media, but the fact is he is not. This film, is a very true representation of what life is like for everybody today. We should all learn something from this. Facebook is just filled with people showing off. I wonder how many people go out just to take pictures and post them later on facebook to get likes and make their life have meaning. Personally, I enjoy facebook it keeps me in touch with my relatives in other places and my friends too. However, I can totally see how it can get out of hand and we all need to limit our use to social media and we don’t have to compare our life to others just consider how lucky we are if we are blessed not to be in a much worse situation. Sometimes a smile hides a huge pain that only GOD knows about it.

Students, post a blog about this video. I will accept TAGLISH blogposts. Deadline of submission is until July 8 (friday).
