Rationale: I choose to write a critique on “The King’s Speech” by Tom Hooper which won an Oscar last 2011. I always heard about this movie many times but I didn’t know how the story goes. All I know was the king lacked the confidence to speak. That’s why I watch it twice since I downloaded it.“The King’s Speech” inspires me to be more confident in public speaking. This movie relates to my course as it deals with speaking in mass media: training, overcoming foibles, and gaining self-confidence. I write my insights on the movie.

This blog was my first activity on Sir Andre Tiangco class, Fundamentals for Writing in Mass Media. I just wanna share it to you guys because I enjoy a lot doing this activity. Enjoy! :) I love how my mother cooks different dishes. She can cook many Filipino dishes. She cooks Chinese or even Italian food. But the dish I love the most is the "Pinakbet," Ilocano style. I remember when I first tasted it at my grandmother's house in Tarlac. Actually at that time I didn't know what kind of Ilocano dish was prepared. So I kept asking my mother, "What was that? It tastes good! I want more!” Until now, whenever my mother asks what dish we want to eat for lunch or dinner, I prefer Pinakbet. I like the mixture of vegetables, especially squash and okra, the pork and salty soup (because I prefer Pinakbet to be a bit soupy) that as I ate it with rice it filled my tummy.

:)) Si Jabfel lumaking bahay-church-school-bahay-school-church-bahay ang buhay. Noong highschool ako, dumadating yung oras na hindi ko alam yung mga salita at kilos ng mga taong nasa paligid ko. Siyempre laking simbahan at bahay ako, kaya hindi ko alam yung mga salitang kanto at kung anu-anong salitang nauuso. Hindi ako palaayos, hindi nga ako marunong mag-make-up noon. Basta simple ayos na yun. Wala akong muwang sa mga gawi ng mundong kinagagalawan ko dahil alam ko lang ay mag-aral, magsimba at maging masaya sa piling ng pamilya. Pero may pangarap sa buhay, 3rd year highschool pa lang, alam ko na ang kursong kukunin ko (Mass Communication) dahil gusto kong ma-improve ang talento ko.  Sa aking pagtungtong ng kolehiyo, nagsimula akong mag-explore, gusto ko ng adventure! Kaya marami akong sinalihang contest at clubs sa pamantasan. Naging palaayos ako sa katawan natuto akong i-combine ang usong damit, make-up at gamit ko. Mas naging friendly ako at confident sa mga ginagwa ko hindi tul
