1. What is the message of the advertisement?
It is an ad for Aboitiz Jebsens, a man power agency. The ad talks about what the agency has to offer for seamen and its benefits for the family as well.
2. What creative techniques did you use to focus attention on your message?
We put sound effects to make it seem like the talents were talking in a market place or a similar environment. The music started when the talents introduced the agency to give emphasis too. simple techniques like that help the listeners get the message that the ad is trying to get across.
3. How might different audiences interpret the message differently from what you intended?
I think there wouldn't be a big difference in the interpretation of different listeners, the difference would be more on the attention given by the listeners. Some would not care, since it would not affect or interest them, and some would pay a lot of attention sincw they may have family members who are seamen or who are looking for a job, and those listeners are the target market of the agency.
4. How has your advertisement portrayed Filipino culture and Filipino society today?
Nowadays, a lot of filipino families depend on family members who are OFW's. This commercial is one of the many examples of the agencies who give job opportunities to different family's all over the country.
This is your first exposure to media literacy education. what aspects of the course did you enjoy? what activities helped you to learn, and what did not? what suggestions can you give to improve the course?
I enjoyed the part where you asked us to bring music videos, songs or show the class websites that we like, or we'd like to discuss in class. It made me understand what media literacy really meant. All activities we did in class, for me, was relevant and helped us learn how to be media literate in one way or another. Any suggestions to improve the course? hmm. unblocking some websites would be a good start, it would be a stepping stone to teaching students, not only in this course, but in the whole school to be aware and literate in media.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up. These are the best times of our lives.
After four years of being in the Special Science Class of Iloilo National High School, it's been very different here in AC. In high school, we were bombarded with school work and research, we were required to make a thesis by the time we graduated, individually. Now, being in AC is like a breath of fresh air. It's less stressful, and more manageable. I didn't even think of enrolling in AC at first, I was determined to get in the Theater Arts program of UP Diliman, but my aunt asked me to take the entrance exam here since AC has been investing in a good theater arts program as well. So i took it, passed, was offered the scholarship. But I still didn't consider, since I passed the UP program too. My mom and I went to AC just to look around and explore my options, it was until Miss Pinky talked to us and compared UP's program to ours that we had second thoughts. After that, bit by bit, I started considering AC and eventually enrolled. The first day was a breeze, I met new friends, my first close friend was Iyah. She was my roommate, so we spent a lot of our time together. As the week went by, our group of friends expanded and we slowly felt like we belonged. The first semester is coming to an end real soon, and it seemed just like yesterday that we were all shy freshmen at the orientation. Before we know it, we'll part, shift courses and schools. But I guess college is about experimenting, discovering who we are and who we want to be. I don't regret choosing AC, as long as I get to do what I love, I'll be happy. So here's to the coming years AC and I will have together! cheers. :)

College is ze shizz.
Well, not really. More like a breath of fresh air. Less school work and no research. But being away from home is really, really hard. :| I miss my friends and family so much. It's really depressing sometimes, I wake up early in the morning and I remember afternoons in SSC with the Sapphire class. It feels like home when I remember them. I try not to sound emo on this blog but it's inevitable, when I'm such a drama queen. LOL. The toughest part is being away from ONE person. It's funny how I promised myself not to get in a relationship before I left for college, technically I didn't. I got in one like a couple of weeks after. :P I'm sorry world. But I don't regret getting in one. He makes it a whole lot better. :) Note to self: I must refrain from being cheesy on this blog too. i am rambling veecoz i do not know what to write anymore. So yeah, nothing more to say actually. I just remembered this blog's existence, so i decided to make a new blog post. 'til the next time i remember after i forget. Toodles. :)

Nostalgia kicks in.
It's depressing to see everything go by so fast. College entrance results are out, the first results were from ADMU. Not making it sucks so much. It's like it sucked the life out of me, like there's this blackhole in the middle of my stomach. Just waiting to be filled. I feel empty, i don't mean to sound emo. But I seriously find this pathetic. I can't say I'm happy with where I'm at. What am I going to look forward to when I keep screwing things like this up? I can't think straight. I don't know what'll happen. Maybe partly because I refuse to accept defeat and compromise. I really thought all of this would work out. But it's isn't. It's tangled and messed up. It's like a shitty world in your face. My family says it's okay. I know they're disappointed with me, so there's no point in convincing myself otherwise. I can't imagine how I'm going to make it out of this one. I don't want to sour grape or make lameass excuses. But it really feels so suckish. My ability to cry when i sense the smallest feeling of frustration and disappointment is so pathetic I wanna pull my eyes out. I don't know what to do anymore. Fuck this. I fail big time.
