Kid Nation

Have you heard this new show KID NATION in CBS? Kid Nation is a reality based TV show where 40 children are left on their own, no adults (supposedly), except with some TV crew that will shoot them day and night, in a ghost town in New Mexico. The children are turned loose to work on a government, an economy, and a new human society and like any adult reality tv show the end product is to make some of them the good guys and some are the bad guys. This is basically, Lord of the Flies meets Reality TV. And we will be able to watch them in our sofa in a late TV show (at least in the US) reach the end of their emotional threshold. Which is not surprising because they are children, without their parents for a month.

And because of this the CBS is being challenge by some concerned groups and a media uprising is now started by people who cares about these children. I am interested in the idea, but I think putting children in a challenging situation, where the eldest just turned 15 and the youngest 8, is wrong. Well, this is some kind of entertainment, huh.





This is the trailer and see it for yourself.

beep! beep! beep! beeeep!!

It's funny how the jeepney becomes a small community. In jeepney, people get close together, skin to skin, without feeling awkward to themselves. People who don't know each other, people from different backgrounds, people with different beliefs, gather together as if they know each other for so long (well, constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating).

it is a SOP when someone pays from the far side, someone will give his fare to the driver. Or when the driver did not hear one of the passengers saying "para" all or some will shout in unison. Or when someone is bringing a heavy luggage or little children, someone in the passengers will help.

well, like our community itself, this is just the one side of the jeepney.

for one human being to love another, that is perhaps the most difficult of all our task, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all of the work is but preparation.

Pasundayag sa Sentenaryo

The Bernardo Pacquing series (pictured above) will be included in next week’s “Pasundayag sa Sentenaryo” Art Raffle. Other artist in the said raffle include, Benjie Cabangis, Neil Doloricon, Armand Bacaltos, Rodel Tapaya, Poklong Ananding. Buy your tickets by sending us an email at whatisartiscircle@yahoo.com

***

Due to the University Theatre’s unhealthy condition (roof leaks here and there), the UP Main Library is now the new event venue of our Pasundayag sa Sentenaryo. There is no more fitting venue than the UP Main Library, since it used to be the home of the UP College of Fine Arts until 1990, when it transferred to its present site. It is a sort of homecoming for many of our Alumni who participated in the art raffle. For “you”, here is your invitation.

wattaday!

This is the kind of weather that like. windy and not hot. and the breeze, ooohh.. so good! Only that I cannot go outside because I have to finish a lot of things! I've just finished the skit that we are going to perform in geog1 tomorrow. And now I have to create a new problem proposal for my thesis for I have abandoned my previous research because I think I don't have enough time to finish it. I also have to review in Natsci2 because we have an exam tomorrow plus, another exam, TFA180! Haha! But I think I can do it. Heheh. Later, I think I'm going to rooftop. I won't let this beautiful day to pass without breathing the fragrant breeze outside.

At least I have one work down.

looking through you

But why is it so strange to want to know what everyone else already knows? Why should my own face be a secret from me?

AKAZUKIN CHA CHA!!!

Nakapanood ako uli ng Akazukin ChaCha kaninang umaga. At yung mga alaala ko nung bata ako ay nagbalik. Haha! Naaalala ko pa rin ang mga pangalan nila! Hahahah!! Sobrang favorite ko kasi Akazukin Chacha eh. Along with Blink, Btx, Tico and friends etc. At sobrang laugh trip talaga ang Akazukin Chacha! Panalo pa rin ang dubbing ng channel 2 para sa akin! Hehe, maghahanap nga ako ng tagalized version ng Akazukin Chacha!

It is wonderful to see someone carry out his dream. So few of us take a chance.

*just like a baby, cannot help to suckle his thumb.

not theologically sound

I don't know if I'm going to be happy because the class were suspended because of the rain. The rain is not that strong, only our roads were easily flooded. Sometimes it's flooded even it's not raining! Well, the extended summer, I think is now over, and we should expect a lot of rain. And if that is so, should we also expect a lot of canceled classes? For some tolerable raindrops education has been displaced!

Anyway, as the water accumulated in our drainage, my concerns also accumulated, my golly! Tomorrow, (Aug.09) we had a report in geog1, first class(7am) and for that I volunteered my self. haha! And because Prof.Narciso did not come to class the last time we are supposed to have our 1st long exam in TFA180, it's moved the same day with our report in in Geog1. Then later that afternoon we have our 2nd long exam in NatSci2. Also the same day, I have to consult my thesis problem with Prof.Reyes, so that I could go on in my research. I'm panicky right now about that, but still it's not yet enough to let me slide. hehe.

I don't know, but I think if you really have to eat something really bad and you really have to, you'll just eat it fast so it will be over. But in my case, with all this raining, I guess I can't do that. All I can do is pinch my nose so I wont taste it. XD

I don't know if I'm going to be happy with the rain. But I guess, I'll be -- for the moment.
