Did you ever realize what is the story behind those meat that you eat? Did you ask yourself on how the animals being put on death for your food?

I watched a documentary last Saturday in GMA7. In Jessica Soho. Its about animal cruelty. Some of the animals there are cows, horses, pigs and goats. In the documentary, it shows on how humans kill animals for the sake of food. And it also said something on how humane the way of killing animals goes. There featured some “matansero” (people who kill goats). First, they forcedly let the goat drink vinegar. Then they will start killing it. And in some provinces in the Cordillera, they have a cuisine called “pinikpikan”. They first hold the chicken by the feet and wings in one hand. Hit the back of the head with the stick, just below the comb. Isn’t that cruel. The chicken dies slowly, and it feels pain and its terrible to look at. And then another story there is a man who would sell his horse because of their needs. The way of people used to kill the horse is they hit it with something that looks like an axe so that it would easily sleep. Whenever they kill those poor animals I hear cries, sobs, and their pain. I can’t stand looking at it.

Try to think of this, what if we are the food of the animals? And they will also do the same on us. What you would feel? Of course you would say that they are so selfish and cruel! What if they also saying it to us whenever we kill them. There’s still a way on how we could stop it. Like being a vegan. It would benefit you, the animals and also the Earth. That is what PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is trying to fight for, to stop animal cruelty.

Everyday is a busy day for me. Studies and more more studies. During weekdays, I usually stay on my room to read and watch television because I am not a outgoing person. I usually go out with my friends and with my family. When I woke up, the first thing I do is to eat my breakfast. Then after that, i take a bath, dress up for school and then ride in the car of my father. I arrive at school around 6:40 or 7:05. Then we will form our lines in our quadrangle for the flag ceremony. One thing I hate when when flag ceremony is that i sweat because its so hot in there. Then we will go up to have our homeroom and the other subjects. And at 3:00 pm we will go home already. But when its Monday, I am one of the cleaners. Then I go home. When I am at home already, I stay at my room, and wait until night came. But when weekends, I usually do my routine except on going to school. I watch and play computer when I am at home during weekends. Then when Sunday, we go to church.

I heard this new show in GMA7. Its name is Codename: Asero. I think they got the name from a metal. The main characters are Richard Guttierez as Grecko Abisamis/Agent Phoenix Heart Evangelista as Emily San Juan. The story starts at the Advocate where Greggo isCodename: Asero working. The Advocate has a mission for him and his partner Geron (Janno Gibbs), to get the project HERCULES which led them to Dubai. Fortunately, thats the place where Emily is working. She works in a shop where she is being accused to be a thief. And in order to prove that she is innocent, she needs to get the cd which contains the video of the surveillance camera. And to do that she needs to go to a party where the cd is. And that is also the place where Greggo’s mission is located. And after getting what they want, they would separate ways without knowing that they have switched the cd. The project Hercules is in Emily’s hands while the video is with Greggo. And there their love story starts. I think its the first Scifi show of GMA7. Its good that they introduce a new kind of show for their viewers. I think I loved all of their Telebabad show because they know what the people wants. And starting a new show like that could be a great hit to the mass.
The List of characters:

* Richard Gutierrez as Grecko Abesamis
* Heart Evangelista as Emily San Juan
* Richard Gomez as Ibsen Abesamis
* Janno Gibbs as Geron Aguilar
* Ehra Madrigal as Dayze Tagimoro
* Rhian Ramos as Claire Morales
* Chynna Ortaleza as Fran
* Paolo Contis as Dave
* Carmina Villaroel as Lady Q
* Michael V. as Bodjie X
* Bobby Andrews as Jupiter
* Caridad Sanchez
* Pen Medina as Dr. Tagimoro
* Ramon Christopher as Apollo
* Francine Prieto
* Rainier Castillo as Nicky San Juan
* Marky Cielo as Agent Troy
* Bubbles Paraiso as Peachy Abesamis
* Elvis Gutierrez
* Rocky Gutierrez as Felix
* Joanne Quintas as Joanne Abesamis
* Sheree as Malta
* Chariz Solomon
* Jana Roxas
* Jenny Miller
* Ysa Villar
* Krissa Mae Arietta

For the special effects is 7 (10 is the highest). Because its not what I expected in a scifi show like what American shows and movies does. And I feel its not kinda realistic. For the story, 9. Even though its their first time to create a show like that they got what I want, more adventurous and more thrilling. for their characters and actors, 10. Because they choose the right persons that suits each role. Richard is best in every role that he plays. Janno Gibbs made the story slight fuuny. Heart makes me sit in front of my tv.

Dragon Ball

If I had to live alone in an island and to bring only two things. One is a television set with a dvd player and collections of many animes. Since I am grade 3, I have fun watching many animes an cartoons. And I think the first anime I watched is the Voltez 5. Second is Dragon Ball Z. I could say that it is a great anime with many extraterrestrial creatures and slammin powers. My favorite characters are Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Cell, Majimboo because they are good in fighting. Some of my favorite anime originated from Japan. Death Note which I already done a blog for it, is another of my favorites. I wonder how those person behind all of my favorite characters and anime do that kind of creative ideas and designs. If I could be a anime character, I would be either the five. Ichigo and Uryuu of Bleach, Yagami Light and L of Death Note, and Naruto. Ichigo and Uryuu because, they have nice weapons and cool costumes. Like the costume of Ichigo when he call his Bankai, he dress in black and with tissue wrapped around his body inside. The costume of Uryuu which is a white and blue, that made it more attractive. And besides I also want to have a collection of swords which Ichigo and the other shinigami has. Light Yagami and L because they are very intelligent, not only that they are also cute. If I could be Light, I will also do what he done, to have a world with only kind people. And with their intelligence I know I could answer many difficult questions. And last Naruto, because he is a brave warrior. With his ninja skills he can fight those bad guys. And he also keep on trying to see his friend Sasuke.I could say that anime is already part of my life. But I am not addicted to it so much. I still concentrate on my studies.

Last week, I borrowed a copy of Death Note. Thanks to my classmate, Ian. I owe you for this blog post. And this Saturday I watched it in our house. But theres a problem, the remote is broken! But I already fixed it. I was so curious of what and why does its name is “Death Note”. For some reason I thought that it is kind of scary. But its not what I been expecting. Its just a simple notebook with a power to kill somebody. I like the main character which is Light. The story starts on a guy named Light. He is an intelligent and handsome and normal high school student. But when Light found the notebook of the shinigami Ryuk his life began to change . At first, Light didn’t believe in the power of the Death Note but when he tried it on the man who hostage a school and after 40 seconds the man died. Then after 5 days the shinigami Ryuk met Light to confront him and assist as he used the Death Note. The police was alarmed by the death of many criminals by the same way of death, cardiac arrest or heart attack. The ace of the police L tried to solve the case. Light will be known as kira. While Light uses his father, who led the Kira case, to monitor and find those filthy criminals and try to finish them. And the pursuit of L to find the mysterious Kira will start. For my review, I think its pretty cool. The way of death of the people. Its very interesting. And the story with the friendship of an extraordinary to a human, that’s new for me. And their identity remains a secret so that they would not be identified by Light. But I still not yet finished watching it. I’m getting hooked up by the story.

At last, I’m now in 2nd year. I am very happy because I am still with my friends, my loving and caring friends. I’m in the first section, 2nd year-Patience. In the 1st day, I am so nervous because I worry if my old friends transfer or not. Second, I am so curious if I did dress properly because who wants to be humiliated in your 1st day of classes. But I wear a white polo which is kinda big, but its alright. Were 40 in class and only 1 is is new and 3 old students transfered to other school. I met our adviser in our first day. His name is sir Emannuel. But we call him sir Emman.  At my first look, I thought that he is strict. But he is not, he will only be serious if his talking in front and his discussing his lessons. He teaches or T.L.E. I think it takes 2 days after we met our subject teachers. First, our Social Studies teacher is Ms. Michelle. I say that she is strict but sometimes funny. Now we are in 2nd year, we are now studying Asian History, which is kind of hard. Second, our Biology teacher is Ms. Suzette. She is like Mrs. Ranoco, our first year teacher in Values. Ms Suzette uses her time explaining her subject thoroughly and I like when she is using our Laboratory Lab. Third, our Algebra teacher is Ms Rivera. When she teaches us in grade 6 she has a very low and modulate voice but now her voice became more louder than in grade 6. Fourth, our teacher in English is Ms. Sandy. She introduced herself with a very fluent and a fast English. I remember she spoken the tounge twister Peter Piper without any wrong word on it. She is good in speaking in English. Fifth, Ms Clamor is our teacher in Filipino. I bet you have already red my description about her. If you don’t please read. She is a funny teacher and a very energetic person. Sixth, our adviser in First year is our MAPEH teacher, Ms Ruth. I am very happy because she is still our Mapeh teacher. Seventh, Mrs Elizabeth is our teacher in Computer. I think she can teach us more great things about computer. Our Values teacher is Ms Lachika. In my first look at her I surely know that she will make Values Education more fun. Its been a month since the school year is started and I have fun. I have great time and we have many role playing this month. Then I remember our first group activity, the singing of a song. If you know the tune of the magic words in Cinderella, thats like what the tune of our song. It goes like these, “Cytology, the study of cells bibidibobidiboo put them together and what have you got, Tissue. Histology the study of cell bibidibobidiboo put them together and what have you got, Organ” after that we laugh so hard.
