Late one night, two teachers investigate a mysterious flashing light in the sports pavilion, while the rest of the school sleeps. There, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of the unpopular games mistress – shot through the heart from point-blank range.

The school is thrown into chaos when the “cat” strikes again. Unfortunately, schoolgirl Julia Upjohn knows too much. In particular, she knows that without Hercule Poirot’s help, she will be the next victim…

I want things basic –
Like the color white,
Simple, plain and bright.

Silent short Film (SHOE BOX)

As a requirement for our Finals, we were assigned to make a silent short film. Yes, it was silent. There was no change of dialogue nor utterances. That brought up the challenge for us! That’s why we decided to make a silent short film that would be heart-felt and inspirational because the heart needs no words; only true feelings.

SHOE BOX

Mrs. Cruz is a fond user of slippers that she wears them on her way to school. Where are her black leather shoes? They are there inside her bag, resting peacefully, and waiting for a clean cemented road to step on. Mrs. Cruz’s road to school is such a bumpy, rocky story.

Busy as a Bee (Student-teacher duties)

E X P E R I E N C E

I would like to apologize for being inactive these past few days. As you can see from the photo above, I still have lots of paperwork to finish and stuffs to review. As of now, I don’t have any vacant days or rest days because I’ve allotted them to finish these works.

I am currently answering these Field Study books, which are really time-consuming and effort-demanding. Had it been pure answering only, I could have finished it the whole day, but apparently it’s NOT.

Quote of the Day #2

QOTD #2 :

“The only thing worse than a boy who hates you, is a boy who loves you.”
-MARKUS ZUSAK, The Book Thief

I know it’s too cliche to say, “The more you hate, the more you love”, but hey, what else could you think of?

The Day She Walked Away

He started his day hugging the girl next to him. He woke her up with tender kisses and a whisper in the ear.

They exchanged “good mornings” and “i love you’s”, and a cup of coffee.

They ate, and prepared for their daily work.

Quote of the Day #01

EVERY SINGLE DAY DESERVES A THOUGHT TO PONDER.

For the day #1, the quote is:

“Paper has more patience than people.” – ANNE FRANK

I encountered this quote while I was reading Anne Frank’s diary. When my eyes met the words, I totally agreed.

Sometimes, people get annoyed of the things happening around them that they easily loss their patience. But with paper? Nah. You can never go wrong.

The Legend of Malakas and Maganda (English version of “Ang Alamat ni Malakas at Maganda”

Malakas and Maganda

A long time ago, the house of God was a fathomless vast of emptiness.

He was saddened because he can’t see nor hear anything.

The sun rose, bright as a gold and the heavens were embellished with clear blue skies. In a distance the full moon peeked amidst the darkness with thousands of sparkling and twinkling stars.
