Road

Rocky muddy way
Evening unpleasant journey
Dark and mysterious


Church

Sacred and peaceful
Built by people's faith to Him
A place of worship
Life is Beautiful

When I first hear the title of the movie we watched, I thought that it is a boring movie to watch because I do not want to see drama or a love story movie. Since then I really enjoy watching actions and horrors movies. But as the movie run I started to appreciate and love it. I really enjoyed the relationship among the members of the family.Roberto Benigni, Italy's king of slapstick, plays a well-meaning father in Nazi-occupied Italy who, after his family is sent to a concentration camp, convinces his young son that the Holocaust is just a game. Yet Benigni's film is monumental in a way that overt masterpieces such as Schindler's List could never be. Hannah Arendt famously wrote of the banality of the Holocaust, of how the ultimate horror of Hitler's final solution was really the whole process of convincing the Jews that they had no hope. In a sense, the Holocaust was the ultimate surreal event, a horror so unspeakable that 50 years and millions of deaths later, it still seems impossible. Benigni, who also co-wrote and directed Life Is Beautiful, brilliantly captures the inherent weirdness of sheer evil by making the viewer laugh in the midst of terror. In the first scene of the movie I do not enjoyed because it begins innocently enough as a romantic farce that unites Benigni with his real-life wife, Nicoletta Braschi. At one point, he and Braschi ride through an ornate ballroom on horseback, but the horse has been painted green and defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti; the image is both beautiful and terrible, glamorous and queasy. Benigni then flashes forward a few years, and with little warning, Italian Jews are being rounded up and squeezed onto trains. Sensing his son's concern, Benigni invents a story that posits the death camps as a vacation resort, and the stern discipline of the Nazis as a test to determine the winner of an ongoing contest. What's so daring about Benigni's film is his implication that in a situation so dire, a little laughter literally can't hurt. The intricate rules of his ever-changing game are nothing compared to the terrifying reality of the death camps, and if everyone is going to die anyway. I also enjoyed the famous line “good morning princess” because it sounds so sweet for a husband to remember how they started. I love the way the child of the main character aceted. He played a smart but innocent role in the movie. Although this movie made in the modern time I like how they made the settings like the time of Hitler. I do not have any regrets upon watching this film.

T'nalak Festival


Every province in the Philippines has its own festival. Festivals and Feasts, in secular society, communal celebrations involving carefully planned programs, outpourings of respect, rejoicing, or high revelry, established by custom or sponsored by various cultural groups or organizations. Such secular celebrations differ from religious festivals and feasts in that the focus is not on the significance of the rituals of holy days of a particular faith but on the public honoring of outstanding persons, the commemoration of important historical or cultural events, or the re-creation of cherished folkways.
Here in our Province South Cotabato we celebrate festival to introduce our own product which is the T’nalak. That is also the reason why our festival is known as T’nalak festival. This traditional cloth of the natives T’boli is made of abaca fiber extracted from the mature fruit bearing wild abaca.
A week ago we celebrated our festival. Our provincial government planned of many activities to promote our province. I can only remember some of the activities for the reason that I am also busy doing my assignments in school and I do not have enough time to enjoy it. One of those activities I can only remember is the search for Mutya ng South Cotabato. The ladies with brain and beauty showed what they got in order to get the title. During the night of competition there were many part of the program that tackled the culture of the people of South Cotabato. There was also the display of different bahay kubo represented by the different town of the province. The display was very amazing because of the works of every town was done creatively. The kubo displayed beauty and of the same time it had quality. There was a battle of the band joined by the different unknown but very talented band in Region 12. Beside the band were stalls selling with different liquor that that made the experience of every visitor a perfect one. It is nice to know that even that these stalls were present there was no serious trouble occurred.
The goals of our festival were centered on the customs of our local ethnic groups and enrich understanding of their heritage and to promote our products. Even I do not enough time to witness our festival I enjoyed it. And I hope others appreciated the goals of this festival.
Happiness and Sadness

Talking about happiness the first word in my mind that I can associate with this is contentment. I can say that it is contentment in the sense that a man having this feeling has no more to wish or to ask because everything is in his hand. The black shade can explain this feeling; it is the presence of all color. It means that everything is in it. Opposite of this is sadness that I can associate with something is lacking on the person having this feeling. I should say that the reason why person feel this way because he could not find any solution to solve that missing piece. Any color can explain this feeling. Color caused by the absence of another color.
