XX. SPEECH CHOIR x IGNITE

Last competition MA151, bagged the first prize and we're the champions of the cheers and chants competition and this time we are set for another competition that will truly challenge our young minds and test our camaraderie.

And boy we were tested alright. This speech choir competition came along with our ignite project, campaign project, movie/book report, and some tests. We literally crammed this speech choir, we seriously thought that we had no chance of winning.

During the contest we we're thinking that we just want to get this competition done and over with. The first contestant was ACA 151 and they we're so good, they set the bar so high we thought we had no chance of winning anymore. But after, the long wait we won the 1st Runner up title. :D WEEEEEE

XIX. PUBLIC SPEAKING

It wasn't a normal day for me. Last December 22, 2015 selected students from different courses under the school of management we're chosen to deliver an extemporaneous speech with the theme Fantasies and Celebrities: a filipino Obsession?

And I was one of them. I was so nervous that day that I couldn't eat breakfast. But then I prepared so hard for it. I would recite my piece every time that I thought of doing it. It doesn't matter when and where. I would recite it first thing in the morning, at the table, while travelling inside the car, inside the shower, I became so annoying that my family would groan when ever they hear the introduction of my speech.

XVIII. Think of me, Think of me fondly (Le Fantôme de l'Opéra)

Think of me, think of me fondly

Seriously, the day after I watched Phantom of the Opera, I hummed it over and over again, and guess what this is the only line that I know. Imagine how annoying i was.

I loved the musical so muuuch that I am going to tell my family to watch it

Actually when I was in High School, I had one friend who nagged me on watching The Phantom of the Opera, but I thought that it was too corny for me. Yes! it's true I judged the movie too early.

XVI. It's not the Media, It's you! (Media Literacy)

Last November 25, we were told that we wuld not have classes and that we need to go to the auditorium because we are going to listen to a talk by the people behind Subselfie. It was one of those days that I felt like the last thing that I needed in the world is a seminar about Media Literacy. I thought that it was going to be a very boring and cliche speeches. I expected that I would be able to catch up on my lack of sleep while the seminar was on going but boy was I wrong.

XIV. Just DON'T do it. (Plagiarize)

Have you ever felt lazy to write an essay, a story or even a blog post that all you wanted to do was just copy and paste from articles over the internet. Oh admit it, we are all guilty of thinking about  plagiarizing, or even really doing it. You may have a hundred and one reasons, you are tired, you ar not feeling well, you don't know anything about the topic but it does not change the fact that plagiarizing is wrong and illegal.
