Amazing August is Amazing: The August Experience

So far, this year's August has been really amazing because of all the awesome experiences I had this month. So yeah, here are my Top 3 August experiences:

  1. Local Science Camp - This year's Local Science Camp was perhaps the best one I had since I participated back in Grade 6. Though our Division did not win many awards but I still think that it was the best division. Pentasonic for the win!
  2. Sarsuela - For the culmination of our Buwan ng Wika, our section was tasked by our Filipino teacher to present a Sarsuela during the program and though it had to be separated into two parts (to make way for the other activities in that program) and eventually into three parts after something unfortunate happened, we still had an awesome presentation and we got positive feedback from our fellow schoolmates and teachers. In fact, there was this student from the 2nd year level who told one of my classmates that we had an awesome presentation and we were the best batch ever.
  3. Earthquake - Okay, I didn't really count this as a good experience but for some reason, I think that this event is still worth mentioning. So I was surfing the web around an hour ago when the earthquake started and it was slow at first and I thought it was just nothing but suddenly, the ground started to shake faster but what really panicked me was when the power went off and we had to run outside of the house because of what happened but thankfully, the earthquake stopped after a few minutes and everyone was okay.
Okay, so to sum it up, my August experience is an amazing one despite of what happened today but they say, life is like a rollercoaster, it has ups and downs but these ups and downs make you stronger and better.

So yeah, that's all for today. Stay tuned for my next posts!

Because the exam's done and all is well

Our 2nd Prelim Exams just finished and so far...the exams weren't really that hard except that we had to make a poem with six lines in English where we get to reveal our identity to the poetic world and I really think my poem wasn't that good and Chemistry was kinda confusing and our MAPEH exam was awesome, we did this color-by-number thing for the Arts portion and the drawing formed into Finn from Adventure Time. 

And since the exam's over already, it also means that...I'm gonna continue watching Haeundae Lovers!!! BTW, I'm already done with episode 1 and now, I'm gonna watch episode 2. Heck yeaaaahhh!!!

5 Most Notable Moments from Haeundae Lovers ep. 1:

  1. When Dong Baek intimidates Tae Sung on the phone and accuses him for being a phone scammer.
  2. When Tam Hee gets soaked with fish and water from So Ra's car.
  3. The fight scene between Tae Sung and the drug dealer at the beginning of the episode.
  4. Joong Sik's prank on his brother at the beginning of the episode
  5. When Tae Song goes "I've never felt this way before" on So Ra and So Ra keeps calling him insane throughout the scene.
So...yeah, that's all for now so stay tuned for my next post! :)

New K-Drama Obsession: Haeundae Lovers

Right after tutorials yesterday, I decided to go blog-hopping and while reading the blog post of one blog I came across with, the idea of watching Korean Dramas crossed to my mind and thanks to my brief return to DarkSmurfSub (for now) after that, I discovered Haeundae Lovers (alternate title: Lovers in Haeundae), a K-Drama that has recently started and  the story of the K-Drama is all about a prosecutor who tries to infiltrate and catch a crime family red handed but along the way, he loses his memory because of an accident and he ends up thinking that he is also a gangster and he falls for the daughter of an organized crime ring's boss and as the title of the show would say, the events of the show takes place in the Haeundae district of Busan, South Korea. 

So...for the cast of the show, here they are:


As of now, I'm still watching Episode 1 of this show online so yeah, I'll be posting my insights on Episode 1 later, maybe. :)

Movie Review: Surf's Up (2007)


I watched this awesome movie called Surf's Up this morning on Star Movies. I've actually seen the movie a couple of times already since we had a DVD of that movie. Anyway, so on to the plot of the movie, it's about a penguin named Cody Maverick from Shiverpool, Antarctica (a spoof of Liverpool in England) who longs to be a surfer one day. Despite of the fact that no one in Shiverpool, especially Glen, Cody's older brother and even Mikey (the talent scout in the movie) likes the idea of Cody being a surfer, this didn't stop Cody from pursuing his dreams. While on his way to Pen Gu Island for the 9th Big Z Memorial Surf-off, he meets Chicken Joe, a fellow contestant from Michigan and befriends him. On the first day of the Big Z Memorial Surf-off, Cody gets wiped out by the waves and he gets stung by a Sea Urchin in the process which causes him to pass out and Lani, a lifeguard, brings him to Geek, her uncle so that he could be healed and on the next day, Cody wakes up to find out that his Big Z necklace has disappeared and though Geek does not mind about this at first but when he sees the necklace, he returns it to Cody and later, Geek finds Cody sitting on a Koa log and offers to teach him how to make a surfboard but just as they are about to drag it back to Geek's house, they end up losing control of the log and they end up in a shore far from the contest which is revealed to be Big Z's shack and this is where Cody finds out that Geek is Big Z and because of this Cody asks for Big Z's help so that he can win the Surf-off and on the last day of the Surf-off, Cody, Chicken Joe and Tank "The Shredder" Evans compete against each other after being declared as the finalists and Cody is able to take advantage of the contest at first after Tank gets wiped out in the middle of the contest but just as Cody is about to surf in the Boneyards, Tank comes back and tries to take down Cody while Cody warns him that there's a huge rock ahead but Tank disregards this and he hits the rock while Cody is wiped out, leaving Chicken Joe to win the contest and the audiences of the contest thinking that Cody is dead. Cody is then helped by Big Z who was secretly watching the contest and they swim back to the shore just as the memorial service for Cody progresses and everyone rejoices after finding out that Cody and Big Z are alive and Reggie Belafonte uses this as an opportunity to promote himself for "resurrecting" Big Z from the dead. Big Z then invites the spectators to go surfing with him and right after Cody finishes his interview, he joins the rest of his friends in the water.

Rating for the movie (in a scale of 1 to 10): 8.5

Overall Review: I really think that Surf's Up is one of the best movies I've seen, not just because of it's appeal to people of all ages but also because of the lessons that the movie has conveyed to it's viewers and also because of the setting and plot of the movie. The movie never fails to entertain me, even though I've seen it a couple of times already. I really hope that this movie gets a sequel or a spin-off soon. Oh, and the movie's got an awesome soundtrack, too. This was actually one of the things that got me into Hawaiian music.

So yeah, there you have it! This is my review for the movie & I hope you guys enjoy this! :)
