SoM week is a very memorable event for all the AC, BM, and Tourism students. It is a event that celebrates this particular school of studies. Many events has taken place from this very special week, games, sports, music, and it all ends with a party. It was a very memorable event because we got to know our fellow student in the different blocks and schools, and  also we got to experience our first SoM week for us freshmen.

The SoM week has been a very memorable week for all of us, not only because of the lesser number of classes, but also with all of the memorable events that has happen during this week. It all started with a fun walk. Most of the students participated in the walk and eve though some of us find it hard, I still think that it was a great way to start of the week because it symbolizes of how proud the SoM students are and that they are not afraid to show it. The way the students proudly showed how proud they were while walking down the Magallanes street was very heart warming. After the walk around magallanes st., we all witnessed the amazing dance group of our school and their breathtaking perofrmance. We have also witnessed our beautiful and handsome contestants for the Mr. and Ms. SoM. Yes, the beginning of the week was very exciting and full of life and excitement, but the rest of the week was also very exciting. seminars, games, olympics, and bands performance happened all around the APC campus. This is surely an event to remember and I cant wait for the next SoM week with new events to happen. The rest of the week was filled with plentyful events such as the olympics, seminars, band music, and the pageant for Mr. and Ms. SoM. The entire week was full of joy and excitement and i hope that the next event will also be as exciting as this one.

Anti Smoking Campaign In Asia Pacific College

Smoking can cause many health problems in our body, especially in our respiratory system. It may cause many complications in our lungs and our passage way where the air pass through. It may cause lung cancer or give the person asthma, and if the person already has asthma, It can worsen the condition.

A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smolders; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth; in some cases, a cigarette holder may be used, as well. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and also include reconstituted tobacco and other additives. Cigarette is the item usually used by smokers and the reason why smokers always use this is because it contains a chemical called nicotine. Nicotine is the reason why smokers get addicted in smoking cigarettes. The smoke created by this material and toxic enough to be compared from the smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe of a car. I am not saying smoking is all that bad, sometimes smoking can help you relax when you're stressed, but there are times someone is going over the limit. A person should only smoke at least every other day because if they smoke continually, it will cause a lot of complications on their respiratory system, especially in their lungs. 

It is a great thing that Asia Pacific College is taking one step further in preventing smoking. It helps the students to have a more healthy lifestyle and it can also help clean the environment because it helps lessen the toxic chemicals that are found from all around the world caused by lit cigars. Also, there are benefits if one stops smoking. One of the benefits is that they would live a more healthy lifestyle because the toxins that they take in from the cigarettes is reduced and the body will begin the process of cleaning and refreshing and also removing the toxins gained from smoking from cigars. This would result in a more healthy body and help prevent the cause of lung cancer which is a very lethal illness. Another advantage is that it can help them save more because a single pack of cigarette can cost 30 pesos and above. imagine if you stop smoking and that 30 pesos can be your lunch, breakfast, or dinner for the day. There are a lot of reasons and advantages when you stop or don't smoke cigarettes, it can help you have a healthy lifestyle and as well as a healthy body. And if you find your self to be a smoker you should consider to lessen the number of sticks you smoke everyday to prevent worsening the risk of having complications.

Parasyte the Movie

Parasyte the Movie is a movie directed by Takashi Yamazaki and was based on the anime called "Parasyte the Maxim."  This movie is an impressive live action adaptation from the anime, "Parasyte the Maxim," and also a great action movie with great drama and story line.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This movie is great for an action film because of it's stunning graphics and acting of the actors as well as the great animation. the characters also has a very strong character building in which they explain a lot of each important character in the movie and also their roll in the film. Although the movie is stepping away from the original anime, it still delivered the flow of the story efficiently enough to explain what is the problem and situation and how the protagonists handles those stressful times.  The movie is also consists of any plot twist and thrilling moments. For example, Parasyte a taking over

Shinichi's mother as a new hosts when Mugi and Shinichi killed of his original host. their fight scenes are also good especially in scenes of the school battle and in the final fight against the Parasyte A. If I am going to comment on the visual effects of the movie, I would say they have good visual and graphics but it can still have a little more of improvement. The parasytes still look like the original version of the anime, but it wouldn't hurt if they are going to make them a little more realistic and live full. And if I am going to comment on how the directing happened in them movie, I would say they have made a very great job. the way how the transitions of scenes to another is very smooth and that no one will ask questions about the next scene because everything is explained from the previous one.

 

All in all, I would say Parasyte is a great movie and has a meaningful story. The way they ended the movie is so great and cliffhanging that it would compel you to watch the second part even more because there are still things that hasn't been answered.

Turn Left, Turn Right

Turn Left, Turn Right, a wonderful movie and because it has romance and suspense, especially suspense, because the two lovers don't always see each other but they still go the same way and same place everyday and are often only a few feet away from each other. The movie is a story love story of two people who are classmates back when they were still in grade school and only blossomed when they grew up. The movie was also very romantic because of the way they treat each other. They are often clumsy and always stumble and fall and also have accidents happen around them.

I find the movie very funny and also super entertaining. The way the lovers try their best to find one another once more is very romantic and how they miss each other. At the same time, the movie will also cause irritation and will leave you saying and screaming, "They are so close to each other!" because they always miss their chance in meeting each other once again even if they are already laying down side by side in the hospital. You will also feel sad for the two people that feel in love with them, even if in the beginning you will hate them. at first they are annoying because they are doing anything they can just to separate those two, but in the end, they turned out to be just broken hearted people who just wanted to be loved back, but don't worry, they became boyfriend and girlfriends in the end. And for the two protagonists, they also had their own happy ending, even if it had to be an earthquake that caused them to see each other once again, and right before they leave each other for their jobs, destiny has it's eyes on those two in making a very special ending where they finally see each other and become a couple.

Mars, it's a very mysterious planet, and we all want to know if the the planet is capable of sustaining life. 

Many scientists believes that Mars once had oceans of liquid water on it's surface a long time ago. The only problem now is the question, "where is it now?" Liquid water is considered to be one of the most basic components so that complex life forms can survive in a planet. Water provides important minerals that can help a living creature to survive. For example: It can help distribute calcium and magnesium through out the entire body. 

How can a planet be a candidate for extra-terrestrial life? It has to follow many set of rules and qualifications but the most important qualification is that it has to be located in the "Goldilocks Zone."

This zone is a location in a solar system where the distance of the planet away from the sun is not too close to the point of incineration, and it's also no to far that the entire surface of the planet will be covered by ice. Mars is located near the Goldilocks zone saying that this planet is a likely candidate for complex life forms.

 

The recent discovery of flowing water on the martian surface indicates that there is hope that life can still survive on the red planet even if it's just bacterial lifeforms. But the discovery itself is a ground breaking discovery. To think that a planet with a very thin atmosphere is able to maintain liquid water is big news. All in all, i would like to say that the new evidence of flowing water on the martian surface is indeed an important discovery in our solar system. This discovery tells us that mars can still be transformed into a life supporting terrestrial body and has a chance of redeeming his past glory as a candidate for life in our universe.

Heneral Luna a film by Jerrold Talog

I had a great time watching this film, simply because of the whimsical and comedic characteristic of Heneral Luna and his men, and also about how the movie thought us how to defend our country.

I was amazed when I saw the film. The writers and directors created a wonderful storyline for heneral Luna and his men. They stood together in front of the enemy with no fear and thought their fellow soldiers to never give up and to continue the fight. The movie thought me about history and reminded me of my nationalistic side. I felt pride when I was watching the movie, and I also felt proud to be a Filipino.


I even saw this meme from the internet and instantly, I laughed because I knew I felt like that when I was going home from watching the movie.

I learned so much from the movie and I would never to forget those lessons, for example: always obey artikulo uno! ( just kidding )


The movie also thought me top never give up on my friends, family, and also to never give up on my country and country men. Heneral Luna was very loyal to his friends but punishes anyone who deserves to be punished just like what happened to his brother.

Even if Heneral Luna's way of leading is very strict, it was very effective. He stopped the advance of the opposing forces of the Americans from moving in and taking over more of our territory. He's a great strategist and always finds a way to conquer and overcome his challenges.



All in all, I would proudly say that the movie was a big hit to our fellow Filipino and also across the world. It teaches us about how to become more loving to our country and to our fellow Filipinos around the world. It teaches us about real strength and courage, and most of all, to never give up and stand your ground even if you are going to stand alone. That's it for this blog and I hope you enjoyed reading.
