The Cask of Amontillado

1. Psychological View point

2.The Cask of Amontillado is a tale of revenge. Montresor, the sinister narrator of this tale, pledges revenge upon Fortunato for an insult. Montresor intends to seek vengeance in support of his family motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit."("No one assails me with impunity.")

3.The main characters of “The Cask of Amontillado” are Montresor and Fortunato. Montresor is the narrator and a wealthy man intent on receiving revenge on Fortunato who is both a friend sworn enemy of Montresor's. He has planned to ''punish with impunity.

Fortunato is addicted to wine. He's already really drunk when he meets Montresor, 
According to Montresor, Fortunato  [round and dynamic] is a man who has caused him a "thousand injuries"
Montresor [flat and static] is a man obsessed with revenge. He also seems to be rather insecure and sensitive, especially about his family background.

4.The irony that lies behind Fortunato's name is that the basic root word of his name is "Fortun" as in fortune, indicating luck, success or prosperity when Fortunato is the actual victim in the story.

Kpl 2 review

Kung Puwede Lang: Resbak Kakak ni Mam



Video link:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jR2Woyn8Ah0
          
         Target media of the product is the Students (including those who become) and Teachers.This video truly voice out all the concerns of a public school teacher. Seems funny at the start but as you watch it, these are real scenarios in school and sentiments of our teachers that our government must give attention.

          This really stressed out genuine issue on sacrificing the salary for school cartolinas, papers, pentlepen.. This is the inner thought speaking because teachers can never go down to this level but they certainly feel and agree to the thoughts.



            For the Student ,If you're seeing education as a burden more than a privilege better recheck your standards. I'm a student too. There's no difference between 'major' and 'minor' subject you are all talking about. You will be needing every grade in every subject you have at the end of the day. If your teacher reprimands you, it's not to humiliate you. It's putting you back in your place because you've crossed the line too much. And you always have the freedom to choose; to study or not to.



           “Tapos Kayong mga babae, saan atensyon nyo? Sa Kpop, sa make up, E kayong mga lalaki? Sa Dota? E kayong mga bakla sa lalaki sa nota?Stereotypes in the film.

            But if we look farther,many professions are underpaid and overworked, but they are either sucking it up (maybe because of passion), or leaving to pursue something else in life. Student dynamics will ALWAYS be diverse so this ranting (inner or not) should not be directed to the students despite their difficulty to handle.





             This shortfilm was really good but there are some words included in the script that should be not be tolerated. Still, my huge respect to all teachers and professors for their efforts to follow their calling for the benefit of their students.

Music Video Analysis

Kung 'Di Rin Lang Ikaw
By December Avenue ft. Moira dela Tore



Video link: 
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P1pwbnzbe7g

Kung di rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
Pipilitin ba ang puso kong hindi na masaktan?
Kung hindi ikaw ay hindi na lang
Pipilitin pang umasa para sating dalawa

Giniginaw at hindi makagalaw
Nahihirapan ang pusong pinipilit ay ikaw

Kung di rin tayo sa huli
Aawatin ang sarili na umibig pang muli
Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?

Kung hindi rin lang ikaw ang dahilan
Pipiliin bang umiwas ng hindi na masaktan?

Kung hindi ikaw ay sino pa ba?
Ang luluha sa umaga para sating dalawa

Bumibitaw dahil di makagalaw
Pinipigilan ba ang puso mong iba ang sinisigaw?

Kung di rin tayo sa huli
Aawatin ang sarili na umibig pang muli
Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?

Naliligaw at malayo ang tanaw
Pinipigilan na ang pusong pinipilit ay ikaw

Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ang sarili na makita kang muli
Kung di rin tayo sa huli 
Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?

Kaya bang umibig ng iba?
(Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?)

Papayagan ba ng puso kong ibigin ka?
(Aawatin ba ang puso kong ibigin ka?






Is the music video based in real life, or does this take place in a fantasy world?
    
     The music video of Kung 'Di rin lang ikaw is based in real life, I hope it's just in fantasy world but it isn't. People fall in love with their bestfriend in reality and end up broken . The good man suffers and it sucks.


Is the way the artist is portrayed in the video really how that person dresses and cats in real life?

    Those elements that are needed I think  portrayed in the Music Video. It all fits in reality.

Consider how the musician is dressed - is that how regular people dress?
    
     The musician is not showed in the music video. The music video is story based in the lyrics.

Consider the actions taken by the artist in the video - would they really do these things in real life?

     Considering the main cast of the music video as the artist , yes. It is real that this things may happen.The typical Friend zone scenario.
      
Does the video portray people in stereotypical ways? Are these reflections of real people or are they just one-sided characters?



     Those things are perfect reflection us people. Appearances is a criteria for our so called 'love'. Chubby guy is a clear representation for those who are not blessed with looks, just the sincerity to love people uncond even though it's hard to see it himswlf that the girl he loves sees him as BESTFRIEND ONLY. Good guys suffered. 😢

Consider the editing - how does the frequency of cuts from shot to shot affect how you feel about the video?I

      Transition in each scenario connects with the lyrics. Durations of shot fits to build up the emotion until the end.  

Consider the setting - why did the director choose this location or setting?
      
      It is for us viewers to relate with. And I think it successful . Nakakabroken kahit wala kang lovelife😢💔

Content Analysis: Commercial Ph Review

Kwentong Jollibee: Biyahe (Journey)

      Our stories as Filipinos smiling through challenges even in old age will always be heartwarming. But we can enjoy Jollibee in a new light if we would choose to address issues missed by lolo’s generation, not intentionally but situationally - in the previous decades, there was little to no opportunity to save to enjoy his retirement. 






Source: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q05aEY02l4M



Characters/ Role:
Lolo Gusting - a jeepney driver, grandfather of RJ
RJ- Grandson of Lolo Gusting

     Lolo Gusting is a hardworking grandfather that sacrifices himself to provide  the needs of his family specially when his son suffered from an injury that disables him from working.

     This days, its rare for us to find a child (specially those in teenage years) that helps their family in work. RJ is one of them. He help and guide his grandfather; became his eyes when he can barely see and ears when he can't hear well.

     Jolliibee is the best in making heart-piercing commercials. This commercial successfully delivers their thoughts on us.They always makes stories based in real-life situation of any ordinary Filiino that surely makes the most of us relate. For me, it is best to stick on Jollibee's way in making commercials. Even they made us cry I still see myself enjoying the food in Jollibee.

News Manipulation

            Nowadays, some Philippine news agencies or TV network seem to have fprgotten and no longer practice the principles of responsible journalism. They are more focused on making good business and on capturing public's attention and on rasing their ratings. Spreading fake mews now seems to be part of trend not only for those famous media but also for those common people who finds their life boring.

#WALANG PASOK
       This school year is field with so much spaces due to many cancellations of 
classes brought by some weather disturbances. When the rain starts to fall at the sunday night , students are already expecting suspension from their respective mayors and governors. This time is an opportunity for those keyboard warriors to create a fake news.



Source: https://m.facebook.com/profile.phpid=118223425038989&ref=content_filter


       The Mayor of Olongapo, Rolen Paulino rejected the post. According to him, the spreading news is fake  and not from him. This is from a dummy account.

      The post is convincing because of the profile picture is same to the actual and personal facebook account of him. But still, be wise. Now days it is easily for us to be manipulated by hoaxes. Don't be fooled easily , doble check or validate it. In this case, MRP have his official facebook page that is more reliable.


Mr. Bean is Dead?

       Do you know Mr. Bean? No doubt, yes. He became a part of our life in making our childhood awesome as far as it can be. What if he died? How will you feel?

'Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson) died at 58 after commiting suicide' This is some of the headlines that circulates in the social media. It spread not just once but almost yearly from 2015 up until now.



Source: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rowan-atkinson-death-hoax/

Here's some fact check from snopes.com
       
Clue #1 that the information is false: In the viral graphic, Atkinson’s birth year was given as 1995. If true, that would put him in his twenties.

Clue #2 that the information is false: In the viral graphic, Atkinson’s age was given as 58. In reality, he was 62 at the time (as of 2017), having been born in 1955.

Clue #3 that the information is false: Nowhere, in any legitimate media, has it been reported that Rowan Atkinson passed away.

Textmate

Sabi ng Mama ko pag matataas ang grades ko bibilhan niya ako ng cellphone.

Ginalingan ko, kasi naiinggit ako sa mga kaklase ko na may cellphone.

Na puwede kang mag-text at may makikilala kang puwedeng maging kaibigan.

Inaayos ko ang pag aaral ko; gabi-gabi inaaral ko na ‘yung puwedeng aralin

at sinasagutan ko agad ang mga takdang-aralin ko.

Hanggang isang araw.

Nabigla ako nang makita ko sa pisara ang pangalan ko sa list ng mga top.

Nasa top 5 ako, kaya agad kong ibinalita sa Mama ko na mataas ang grado ko.

 

Tuwang-tuwa ang Mama ko.

Isang araw bumungad sa akin ang surpresang ipinangako sa akin ng Mama ko.

Pinagmalaki ko ito sa mga kaklase ko at nakipagpalitan ng number.

Masaya kasi nakapaglalaro din ako ng snake , halos nauubos oras ko sa cellphone.

Pero kahit papaano nasasabay ko pa rin ang mga aralin ko.

 

Isang araw..

Kumakain kami ng tanghalian.

(Totot totoot) tumunog ang cellphone ko.

‘Di ko muna pinansin baka kasi kaibigan ko lang na nangungulit.

Pag open ko ng cellphone ko, ang sabi.. Hi!

pwede maki-pagtextmate sayo?

Ako: Sino ka po at saan mo nakuha number ko?

0907….. Ah nakikita kita sa school, tapos hiningi ko ang number mo sa kaklase mo.

Ako: Ah. Anong pangalan mo?

At ayun na nga, dalawang linggo bago siya nagpakita sa akin.

Parang strangers nuh?

Nakakatuwa siyang katext, araw-araw ay nagpapalitan kami ng mensahe.

Minsan pa nga kinikilig ako sa mga biro niya.

At talagang napapangiti niya ako.

 

Lagi akong nagpapaload, nagtitipid pa ako upang may pantext ako sa kanya.

Tumagal hanggang sa lagi kaming magkasama, o magkatext kahit gabing-gabi na.

At biglang nagtapat siya sa akin ng nararamdaman niya, in love na raw siya sa akin 

‘Di ko alam kung ano’ng isasagot nang oras na ‘yun.

Dahil ang totoo ay may nararamdaman na rin ako para sa kanya.

Pinagbigyan ko siya na manligaw sa akin ngunit palihim lang ito.

Sapagkat pinagbabawalan pa akong magka-jowa.

 

‘Di nagtagal sinagot ko siya.

Nakakakilig, nandoon ang excitement na araw-araw gusto mo siyang makita.

Gusto mong araw-araw hawakan kamay niya at ipagmalaki sa buong mundo.

Kumakain kami ng streets food; paborito naming kainin ay kwekkwek at isaw

 

Minsan ayaw ko siyang may kasamang iba o may kausap man lang.

Dahil naiinis ako.

Simula  nang nagkaroon ako ng kasintahan.

Ay siyang pabagsak ng mga subjects ko, bumaba ang mga grado ko.

‘Di ko alam ang palusot na idadahilan ko sa Mama ko kung bakit bumaba ang mga grado ko

nang nalaman niya ang tungkol dito.

Pinagalitan niya ako, kinuha niya muna ang cellphone ko at ibabalik lang iyon

pag nagbalik na raw ang matataas kong grado.

Nainis ako sa Mama ko kasi ‘yun na lang ang nagpapasaya sa akin.

 

Natuto akong tumakas para makipagkita sa kasintahan ko.

Para makita at makausap ko siya dahi madalang lang kaming magkita sa eskwelahan.

Tanging ang cellphone ang lagi naming komunikasyon upang kami ay magkausap.

 

Isang umaga ay nagtext siya sa cellphone ko ngunit dahi ‘di ko nga hawak ang cellphone ko

ay nabasa ito ng Mama ko.

Pinagalitan at kinurot-kurot ako.

Ang bata-bata ko pa raw ay puro paglalandi agad ang inaatupag ko

kaya raw siguro bumaba ang mga grado ko.

Makipaghiwalay daw ako pero tinago ko muna iyon.

Dahil mahal ko ang lalaking nakilala ko nang dahil sa cellphone.

Tumagal pa kami ng dalawang taon.

Nang hindi ko pinapaalam sa Mama ko.

 

‘Di rin nagtagal parang nagbago na siya sa akin.

‘Di na siya katulad noon na araw-araw halos ay nagpaparamdam sa akin

Biglang nanlamig siya at hindi na ako masyadong tinetext.

Nabalitaan ko na lang na meron daw ibang babae ang kasintahan ko.

Masakit pero hinayaan ko na lang ang lahat ng iyon.

Hanggang isang araw nakita ng dalawa kong mata na totoo lahat ng sinasabi sa akin ng kaibigan at mga kaklase ko.

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin nang mga oras na ‘yun.

Pupuntahan ko ba sila para sabihinhoy akin yang kinakalantari mo!!!”

Gusto ko na lang magwala o humandusay sa lupa nang araw na ‘yun.

Pero tumakbo ako papalayo at umalis na aang upang hindi ko na makita ang mga ginagawa nila,

Napakasakit…

Ganun ba talaga, kailangang masaktan ako nang sobra?

Ganun ba talaga kailangan kong magdusa?

Nagmahal lang naman ako.

Oo, ‘di ko sinunod ang pangaral sa akin ng magulang ko.

Ito ba ang kabayaran? ang lahat ng sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon?.

Masisisi ba na nagmahal ako at nagpadala sa mga kilig at biro niya tuwing tinetext niya ako?

 

Di na ako nagpakita sa kanya.

Lumipat kami ng tirahan pagkatapos ng exam.

Ngunit bakit hinihintay ko pa rin ang text niya? Pero wala, walang text na kahit sorry man lang.

Hindi man lang niya magawang itext ito.

 

Sobrang sakit pala!

Na akala ko  ang pag ibig ay masarap sa pakiramdam; masaya.

‘Di na rin ako nagpapaniwala sa tuwing may nagtetext sa akin, agad agad ko itong binubura.

Sa pagdaan ng panahon, lumipas rin ang sakit sa puso ko.

Bumalik ulit ang dating ako na eskwelahan at bahay lang.

Subalit may isa pa ring karanasan na nangyari sa buhay ko na kailan man ay ‘di dapat basta nagtitiwala

at ibigay ang buong pagmamahal na alam mo namang posibleng masasaktan ka lamang.

Isa na namang katapusan… isa na namang kasawian.

Pero alam kong hindi ito ang katapusan kung bakit ako nasaktan.

Pagsubok lang ito at may iba pang darating na para sa akin.

 

‘Di pala dapat sumuway sa magulang, dapat habang maaga pa atin silang  sundin.

Tunay na masaya ang mainlab, masaya makipagtext at makipagkilala sa iba o makipagkaibigan.

Ngunit hindi ka pala puwedeng walang pigil at walang disiplina.

Hindi naman  masama kung susubukan mo pero habang bata pa sundin natin kung ano’ng ipinapangaral ng mga magulang natin dahil ang lahat ng iyun ay para sa ating ikabubuti.

 

Confessions

"Oh nakatitig ka na naman kay Lisa". Puna sakin ni Miguel habang  nanood Kami ng volleyball game.

" Dun ka nga". ngayon sagot  ko  na lang.

 " Par tagal no nang ginagawa yan . Hanging tingin ka lang naman. Except sa  pagiging BEST FRIENDS niyo. Di ka ba nagsasawa? " 

 " Hihi ganda eh! " sagot ko habang parang tanggang nakangiti at nakatitig sa kanya.

 " Balakajan! " iritang sabi niya.

        Hay nako bakit lagi na lang magulo ang mundo? Laging na lang nag -aaway, may pinag-aagawan at hindi nagkakasundo. Habang ako, ito basic lang at walang pake. 
       Ang buhay ko ay simple pero matumal sa perpektibo ng iba. Pumapasok sa school,makikinig sa teacher . Hindi ako nakikigulo sa mga pinaggaagawa ng mga nasa paligid ko. Tawa dun at Tawa dito. Pero ako wala akong pake. Kdrama, Kpop, anime at memes mga madalas na topic nila. Ano yun ? Wala akong ideya. Kung may maka alam nito magtataka sila. Saan ka ba nanggaling? North Korea?
       Pero ganun talaga. Ayoko lang talaga nakadepende ang buhay ko sa mga bagay na pansamantala lang, yung nalalaos at naglalaho din.
