BURN...

The title fever symbolizes the feeling she has for a woman. The woman she loves was so perfect that she admires and hates her at the same time. She would often compare herself to her features and she would wake up fantasizing about her. Reminiscing every inch of her while touching herself as if she was touching that woman or being touched by her. I think the admiration she feels sometimes turns into hate because she might be insecure or maybe she doesn’t like the feeling she has for her. She is like a volcano waiting to explode. As the story progress and so is her feeling. It might have been hard for her to interpret her emotions. It is unusual to like someone with the same gender. I can’t imagine how hard to control something that is not normal in the society. In her eyes this woman is special. But if I was the woman in the bar I wouldn’t know. I would think that she was just another girl being nice to me. This story is very interesting that it made me question; how a lesbian starts relationship before? How do they initiate the emotions? Do they reveal who they really are? How do they fight the discrimination in the society? Today, it is much easier for the third sex to express and reveal who they are. In the web, chartrooms are made to find friends and love ones. Locations, like bars are made for them to meet and socialize with one another. You would also see lesbian couples freely expressing in public. Lesser discrimination in the society was being demonstrated and hopefully there would come a time that they will have equal rights with heterosexual couples.

In relation to my ojt

The story portrays a little about insecurity amongst women. In our workshop in drama for children, we help students to take out their insecurities from themselves and to other people. It shows them that each person is unique in so many ways. Also when it comes to acting, they are taught that small roles are as important as the big roles. The setting of the story is no different from the setting of theatre which is the stage. Bar has lots of people who dance, loud music and lights. In the stage, you are on the spotlight being watched by the crowd while performing. Imagination runs deep in the story which you also need in theatre arts. You have to visualize grand outcome for the performance but at the same time you have to be realistic. Never assume that you know everything in your training just by observation. You have to always ask, this lessen the confusion on the task given to you. It also helps you understand people who are very artistic. Let me tell you that sometimes due to the level of their artistry that the words coming out of their mouth are like abstract. Like what was said in the story, be bold and strike 

inforgraphic!

judgement day!

I have a lot of experiences with people who turned out to be different as I expected. Friends I have known, some who we called “nasaloob and kulo” very sweet on the outside but very wild on the inside. I get it if they just want to have some fun sometimes, I do that. But if it is really your true color and you’re hiding it, that’s different. I don’t want to give a scenario with a friend but another good example is an advertisement. They look so good even perfect for us to buy it. It fools you and you end up being discouraged. In modern life that is really what’s happening, In magazines you can see flawless body but is was just a Photoshop, you can be drawn into a restaurant because the place is beautiful but once you tasted the food it will be a dismay. Even the people knew they aren’t bother about it.Because that is how the business run nowadays But still there are some people who like things traditionally which more on the side of the truth.

where are you point!

To be honest I don’t really get the point of the story, but one thing I understand though they have been friends for a long time that they probably like each other, since both of them have some fears in life they are to afraid to admit their love for one another. In context, the guy looked for clues on the documents’ almost thought it was a one sided love. His one of the guys who we call as “TORPE”. The girl on the other hand is the “PAKIPOT” type. As a girl I wouldn’t go to a boy- friends dorm if I don’t like him, “like” as in his personality, the way he respects and trust me. When she wrote the last document there was part there that “looking in the mirror and slowly fading away” I don’t know if it was just me who thinks about it but I assumed two things that she is slowly losing herself to him or he is losing her unless he do something.

I pity these two because frankly a “TORPE” and “PAKIPOT” is a really bad combo.

quit playing games with my heart

Personally the problem that they have is common in relationships, “ikanganila” don’t play with fire if don’t want to get burn in this scenario the girl doesn’t trust the guy that she is willing to play a game in order not to get hurt but this back fired, she got hurt… In the way they maintain their relationship through technology is what we mostly do now a day. It has good and bad effects. Good in a way that you could communicate in any time of the day,constantly. Bad because it’s too impersonal and sometimes suffocating. I know some that would even text each other “ligolang”, “kainlang” sinigangulam” “ teka tae langako”….wtf! every single detail…


The way I would end this is for the girl to call him to meet him.Then tell him that “I’m done with games, I’m sorry… I’ve learned my leasson you don’t know how much you mean to me and if its ok with you I would like to start over”She will offer her hand and introduce herself “ my name is “first name. last name” …. –THE END-

Magnifico!

The trait of the mother is the most magnificent thing I’ve read. The way she handled the situation with in integrity and honor is amazing. She is like a soldier in the battlefield not afraid of the war, a soldier who is trained not to panic in the most crucial situation and uses the right method to fight for the weak. I salute her for handling it differently, her 7 yr old daughter was harassed by a guy she trusted she didn’t even scream,called the police or killed him. She didn’t blacked out, she made sure the kids where safe in the other room before doing further action. She didn’t want her daughter to think that something so so.. BAD! Happened to her…
If I was in the same situation I would like to do the same thing but to be honest I don’t think I have to courage to still act as brave as she did. I think I would lose myself and the first thing I’ll do is cut his penis off!!! I will also make sure with all my powers and connections that he can never do that to another girl..
In one of my past experience I have a friend, she is girl very close to me take note: I’m very protective to all of my friends..some of the mean girls “inaapisiya” I really went out of my way and fought for her In short “nakipagsabunutanako” IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET!!!! Hehehe :) it was worth it… but if it were my family I’m pretty sure I’ll do serious damage…

MR. PERFECT

I was once pursued by a Mr. Perfecto the only difference between them is he is really PERFECT. He was my ideal boyfriend, good looking, nice built, gentlemen, and sweet. But for me he was too nice, I was in the situation that I have to let him go because he doesn’t deserve me, he deserves someone better. I know, sounds stupid right. Like boys, sometimes the girls don’t want to be put in a pedestal. We want some bad ass guy who would make us work for their love. I don’t know but for me “masmasarapmagmahal and gago”…
MARRYING SOMEONE I DON’T LOVE???
I don’t think that would be possible. But there is one thing I’ve learn in life, it’s cruel, unfair and I’ve learned that in a hard way. if I were in a situation where I have to be practical and have a no choice(I hope not). It should at least be a guy who I CAN LEARN TO LOVE.
