SuperNatural

Good day!

During this Christmas break, I’ve got nothing to do and just watch some of my DVD’s. My mother bought me several DVD’s while I was with her joining her to buy some of her koreanovelas, I ran across some Detective Conan DVD’s and told my mom to buy me some of those, and I had asked the person-incharge of the DVD’s if they had the Supernatural series, since I kind of like to watch it. Since prior to me buying the DVD, I watched maybe 2 episodes and kind of liked those episodes, it was about hunting down a ghost-killer and the other one was the season 1 finale, but I didnt know it yet. So, this Christmas break, I got a chance to watch the series, and I got hooked.

Looking at it, the series might look like having a devilish feel, but they quite explained all of the symbolism they have used, they hunt down demons not become one of them. In fact, the main plot of both the season 1 and season 2 was killing the demon Azazel who killed the Winchester brothers Mom. Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester are the main cast of the series, the series began with the demon killing their mom then, after 22 years their Dad had trained them to become hunters, and when the series started, their dad was closing in to the demon that killed their mom, so their dad is no-where-to-be-found, but he is watching his son’s progress.

Another story is that Sam Winchester is a Psychic and the demon wanted him to be his soldier, but I’m not going to spoil the fun here, Sam can see the future, he has premonitions but he can still learn to have more powers like persuasion, demon control, mind control, telekinesis and such. What I really liked about the series, is they have created a very good story line and plot. I mean, they are entertaining, as well, as you can learn mythology and ghost stories; They even used the Bloody Mary curse as the second episode, and made sure that the pentagram (the symbol thought to be as satanist) is not really pure satan, they used it to be a Devil’s trap, meaning they can trap any demon inside the pentagram, thus the series logo.

Non timebo mala” as my post title says, it means “I fear no evil“, encrypted on the shows main weapon to ward of the demon Azazel, not ward but to Kill. The main villian was pretty good, he can not be bothered by Holy water and was pretty smart, he knows if he is entering a devil’s trap, so, only the Colt (a revolver made by Samuel Colt, a demon hunter and gun maker) can kill the demon, it was made to have only 13 bullets and must be used carefully and can kill anything. They keep on talking about eternal damnation and hell as being not a very good place, even for a demon; giving it a nice message about not going to hell, and they even believe in God and Angels, as they gave an entire episode to this kinds of things.

Heroes

Heroes the Series…

Oh, I really really really love this series. I’m not really that person that follows series so close, that I really need to watch them after they had just been released. I usually wait for all of the episodes and watch it all at once. But this series really got the best of me, the plot is so cool and they have powers too, which makes it cooler.

It’s really addictive, watching this series. The powers they have are really cool, and the plot is really not close to those with the same genre (i.e. X-men and Mutant X). They do have powers like those of X-men, but still the plot is not the same, nor it is close. Their villain in the first episode is a serial killer of people like them, so he can have their powers, and on the season two, the villain is most likely still him and a eternal being (he has the power of regeneration, which he regenerates his cells, and be able to live for 400 years *OMG*).

Most likely, the heroes have the same powers as that of X-men, except no one of them has the power to shoot laser beam from their eyes. They have the person with the power of Katie Pride which is DL, with the power of Phasing; the power of Wolverine to Adam Monroe and Claire; the power of rogue to Peter; even the power of flight given to Nathan. They have the same powers but have a more in depth to what is happening now plot. With even elections and cheating on elections, as what Micah and Candice did.

Watch this series. Its really good.

Intramural Reflection

September 9, 2007

First site of Intramurals, All I hear is "Dapat machampion ang IT karon", And what’s in my mind is Ill do my best so that I can help ITE, since I am now an Officer of the ITE Program. So oh well..

It was not until during a meeting of the Legislative Board and Executive Board that changed my Intramural life. Arbie (SSG-Internal VP) picked me as a partner for the Screening committee and will also help her in her endeavors during the Intramurals, so I voluntarily agreed; on the other hand Raphael (SSG-External VP) also picked me as his partner for the Ways and Means committee. *Whoo* Two SSG VP’s wants me to be a part of them *Flattered*. So, with the three of us fighting for a partner, we agreed that all 3 of us will be a part of both committees.

Being part of the Screening committee really gave me a head ache. Imagine looking at all the Medical Certificates of all 10 programs of the school and counting all of them. But then, Arbie gave a boost up saying that it will be the only tiring work of the Screening committee. Ways and Means really didnt gave me quite a problem, we had only to find some Companies that will be our sponsors for some events of the Intramurals.

Being part of the Working Committee gives some great privileges, Free Food and Drinks during the Intramurals, Free T-Shirt Printing (a good design too) and Exemption during the attendance checking. Disadvantages are also there including NO CHEERING for your Program *grrr*. Oh well…

Afterwards, the Intramurals was started and ended good and fine. Eng’g still won which garnered them their 11th year as champion, ITE came in second. These two program was fighting really good, Eng’g won by just 2 gold medals. Rhea (2007) stated that "Dawat-dawat nalang".

UIC Intramurals 2007 garnered me really fun times, and gave me so many Friends. In the future, I will have CPA Topnotcher friends, Media friends and even some Eng’g friends. Hope so.. Good luck sa inyo.

P.E. Night

February 16, 2007

It was probably one of the fun parts of the First year - Second Semester Life. P.E. Night was like Prom night, only you dont go by pair and it doesnt have the cottilion and everything. It was just the gowns and polos that made it like a Prom Night.

P.E. Night started at exactly 5:30-6:00 pm. Everyone needs the Meal stub and the I.D. to enter the campus (yeah, we had our p.e. night at our gym, how sosy). It was me and Edjic, my classmate, who were there waiting for my other classmates. I felt quite shy wearing the Polo and Slocks there, since most people didnt yet wear their polo’s, but after a while people were starting to get in the school campus and we started the p.e. night at about 6:30 pm.

The P.E. night program was quite boring actually. M.C.’s just welcomed everyone and the presenters. The main program was the mr. and ms. P.E. night, which was participated by 22 pairs and will become 1 pair in the coming 2-3 hours. When it was time to call on the top 10, no I.T. student from the girls was called but 1 boy was called, but he didnt make it to the top 5.

The most fun program, besides the Dinner (which took up, about 30-45 mins of the time), was the Dance. I didnt quite dance for the first 30 mins, because of the fact that I was quite full from the food. But after that, I danced like there was no tommorow. Dance with my classmate, schoolmates, friends and even with the ROTC Officers. It was quite fun actually, having to dance for about 2 hours. The slow dancing only took up 10mins and the Disco music shot up again from the sound box.

Then at 10:15. The lights were turned on, and everyone from the dance floor started running towards their seats (embarrased, i should say). Then it was time to go. We still talked outside the school about what happened just earlier. P.E. Night was really quite fun.

Whoa. P.E. Night ended up at 10:30om, and we still have a 7am treeplanting, the day after that. So, sleep we go. Night. P.E. Night.
