11-EDGE OF TOMORROW

The action in Edge of Tomorrow happens in a not so distant future in which in outsider race has hit Earth in an unwavering strike that can't be crushed by any of the world's military units.

Major William Cage is a military officer who has never seen a day of battle until he is unceremoniously dropped into what adds up to a suicide mission. Killed inside of minutes, Cage gets himself mysteriously tossed into a period circle, constraining him to experience the same severe battle again and again, battling and kicking the bucket over and over.

Be that as it may, with every fight, battling close by Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski , Cage gets to be ready to draw in his enemy with expanding skills. As Cage and Rita battle the outsiders, each rehashed experience gets them one stage closer to vanquishing the enemy.

The movie was really fascinating, especially for an action fanatic like me. I was astonished by the great graphics of the film. And the fun part of the film is that it have different elements to it, such as:

POSITIVE ELEMENTS

Cage does find Rita after he wakes at Heathrow, and their partnership sets him on a slow path to becoming a better soldier and a better man. As time goes on (or doesn't, as the case may be), we see him and others giving their all to battle their relentless foe, fighting fearlessly for those around them. Cage grows to selflessly love Rita, and he becomes committed to doing absolutely anything to find a way to save her … along with all of mankind. He's not alone in that later goal: A number of soldiers are willing to stand fast in hopeless situations to further that aim.

Though Rita doesn't remember the many looped days that Cage knows, she soon comes to immediately re-recognize his blossoming goodness and trustworthiness.

SEXUAL CONTENT

Cage slyly talks to Rita about somehow transferring the alien DNA (the time-looping substance that found its way into his bloodstream) from one human to another through bodily fluids. She catches on that he's suggesting they have sex … and quickly shuts him down, letting him know that she's tried it before and it doesn't work.

Somebody makes a coarse crack about hooking up with two girls at once. Rita wears a flak vest that reveals quite a bit of her bare back. A soldier suits up in his mech armor without his uniform, allowing the camera to catch a glimpse of his bare backside. Several guys are seen shirtless in their barracks.

VIOLENT CONTENT

Blasting, pummeling images of war, its dead and dying clutter the screen. And because of the looping/time-travel conceit, some characters—particularly Cage and Rita—are seen being killed over and over and over again, each death a slight variation of the last.

Those deaths include percussive explosions, impalements from creature tentacles, and images of our heroes being strafed by shrapnel and banged by large mechanical devices and vehicles. A number of times we see one or the other of them lying prone, dead with a glazed-over expression.

As Rita quickly tries to train Cage and bring him up to speed as a soldier, he's battered relentlessly—bones routinely breaking. In each case it's recognized that Cage must "die" in order to restart the day and thus get on with the important training process, so Rita casually shoots him in the head whenever he's hurt. (We generally see her point the gun at the camera and pull the trigger.)

I enjoy the film as much as I enjoyed watching TOM CRUISE <3 Because he is HANDSOOOOOOOOOOOME.

10- My second day in English Culminating Activty

THE SADDEST PART OF ENGLISH TERM IS SAYING GOODBYE TO ENGLISH TERM. 

Goodbye writing stories
Goodbye fun activities
Goodbye bloody papers
Goodbye proposals
Goodbye speeches
Goodbye all my English professors
GOODBYE ENGLISH TERM 

          

But let's be sad later and not think of the goodbyes for a while.

The second day of English Culminating Activity is more fun than the first day. We watched speech choir competitions that is really exciting. Because we saw different sections of SoM competing and delivering their best performances, It was really entertaining. Especially for the audience, But it was nerve wracking for the participants of the competitions. Our section delivered of speech choir performance. The piece given to us is entitled  "At Christmas" Its a fun and exciting piece. It was about Christmas season and how man become best in his part at Christmas day. Christmas is a fun and exciting day for everyone. Especially for children and to child at heart adults like most of us.



What else give joy to me that day is listening to different speakers as the deliver their ignite speech. I want to join ignite speech, not because I know I can perform best but because it's hard and I want to take the challenge. But I think that the challenge can wait :P I saw our representative perform her best in delivering her speech. So we cheered for her because we can feel that she is a bit pressured and cheering for her is the best thing we can do for her. WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SHOUTOUT FOR ATE LAINE. Congratulations for doing your best! And I remember the sounds they play was a boost in our spirits. It's the last day of class for this year. We\re all excited to come home and celebrate Christmas and HOLIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!


At the end of the day, We didn't won anything. But we cannot tell that we're losers. because we won the most important and essential gift of all.




THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE. The gift of learning so much more than we expect. Learning the right use of words and becoming credible. Learning that we can overcome our fear of public speaking. Learning that we can be good writers. Learning so many things that only English term can give us. 

THANK YOU ENGLISH AND GOODBYE FOR NOW.
YOU HAVE GIVEN US SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES AND FUN EXPERIENCES. 
YOU WILL BE MISSED.

9- My first day in English Culminating Activity

I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE. 

That is the first sentence that popped to my my mind when Miss Nina told me that I will be one of the representatives of our class for the inter-class speech competition for the English culminating day. 

I was never a fan of English subject. I believe in what most people said that "If you're good in math, you're not good in English" So when I learned that Asia Pacific College have what they call ENGLISH TERM. I was quite nervous, Oh I mean REALLY REALLY NERVOUS. But I was surprised to the outcome of my performance. I sometimes get the highest grade, and now I can't believe that I will be representing our class.

                                                       

                                         

The theme of the program will be the theme of our speech "The cult of celebrities and fantacies ... A Filipino obsession?" And that theme will always popped out of mind time to time ever since it was discussed to us by Miss Nina. As a students that is really really concious with my grammar and diction. I was not confident in making my speech. I often lose hope in finishing my speech or sometimes, I just give up and start again from scratch. I made 3 speeches. All have different message. But at the end of the year, I end up choosing the speech that I made from the heart. The speech about my boyfriend and I slaying cancer. 

                                                           

And finally, the day of the competition came. 

FIRST DAY OF ENGLISH CULMINATING ACTIVITY  

Here I am now, standing in front of the judges. delivering my unmemorized speech. Yes, I didn't memorized my speech. But in the end of the day. I delivered my speech with heart. Then, the judges announced the speakers that will move on to the final round.  I was shocked. I WAS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS. Who could have thought that the girl that didn't memorize her speech will be moving on to the final round? Well, certainly not me and also not my fellow competitors. I was the only one that didn't memorized my speech and moved on to the finals. 

And that is where my nerves get the best of me. I delivered my speech on stage with a phone in my hand. hoping that I will end up my speech the same way I did the first time I delivered it. BUT I DIDN"T

        

But at the end of the day. I enjoyed every part of it. The joy of learning more in English and developing my communication skills. Is the essence the English term to me.  I would like to thank the English teachers that have been a part of my English term and for helping us, especially me in facing my fear in English subject. That is just the first day, I can't wait to tell you about my second day.
