Media Awareness blog

Last Conclusion

2007-03-14T22:26:00.001+08:00

This is the end.

Wow. I never imagined that I would come to this period of time. The last of the conclusions, what can i say? First, I would like to thank you for patiently reading my opinions on situations, persons, songs, videos and things. Have you ever imagined that the wacky,crazy person that I am is opinionated?

The last chapter of my entries tackled about how media people manipulate stuff or how different our world from the world before. Media plays a big part on influencing people that's why our time is very different from the others. We should be aware how they can turn bad things to good things and people/audience don't even know it. Lastly, we should not let them discriminate our race because we should stand up and take pride in it.

I hope that through this blog, people who visit this can be more aware of how media works.
Adios and Have a great life!

Back To Basics : Candyman

2007-03-14T22:07:00.000+08:00

"He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet-talkin', sugar coated candy man oh
A sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman"

This is my favorite part of that song of Christina Aguilera called Candyman. This song, especialy the video, takes me back to the 40's, 50's whatever genre that has that. For me, it is a very feel good song. I was fund of the lyrics of it, very catchy and very old.

The song has too many rhymes which is rather fun and new for our generation. It's been stuck in my head for a long time since I have heard it on the radio.
The video shows how people act when they were having a good time back in the olden times. It is like their wildest time was going to a concert like that and dancing or something but now, what you call wild is really wild. Through that video, you can compare how people changed and they changed a lot.
Just compare it to the videos of today, you have artist who take off their clothes and people would say that it was cool thing to do. It seems like that those people in the olden times were more wholesome than we are now.

I recommend, that if you want to see what they used to do and what music was before, you to watch that video and feel good!

Photoshopped Pictures

2007-03-10T19:31:00.001+08:00

HOW LOW CAN THESE PEOPLE GO?
I am not a big fan of these artists but I know them because Piolo Pascual is one of the influencial Christians in the industry, that I know of and Sam is a reality star. Are they really obssesed about Piolo's gender? Give him a break! You can see from the original picture that he was holding Rica. I don't know if Piolo had given a statement about this but if was in his situation I would get enraged. Why would people sink this low to prove that he is gay and is going out with sam? I feel sorry and happy for them because people try and try to bring them down and yet they don't let this ruin their friendship.

People here in the Philippines are very showbiz oriented that's whatever rumor that they will hear, they will spread and give other meanings. And sink that low to get a picture and photoshop them. I just wish that those who are writing "intrigas" would not sink that low and give some artists some slack because they work hard though some are really not good but they still work hard.

Reality Shows

2007-03-10T19:30:00.001+08:00

Big Brother, Pinoy Dream Academy, Survivor and Amazing Race, just to name a few are very popular reality shows watched by Filipinos. They say that, " it's the story of a life of person." Here's what I say, " That's crap. You don't even know what is really going on because of technology these days."

We love watching these kinds of show. I, myself find it entertaining but come to think of it, you don't know what's happening because they try to exage the situation and they edit it. I once watched an episode of Laguna Beach on MTV, a special episode where Kristin said that the people from MTV directed her and LC to act exaggerately. They knew that LC and Kristin don't like each other but they wanted action or something.

We as viewers should know when these things are being shown to us just to get ratings and lots of money. We should also be aware that not all of these things are true and should believe them. We, teenagers, should keep in mind that those people who are doing somethings that are unaccecptable to the society should not follow them and say that they are cool like the big issue with Sam Milby and Chix from Big Brother season one.

Let us be aware of what we see and hear from these kinds of show.

Election with Artists

2007-03-10T19:27:00.000+08:00

Election here in the Philippines is coming up. You'll see in the TV the commercials of senatoriables where they use songs that are in today to make people see that they should vote them.
You will also see artists who endorse them. The real questions are, do those artist believe in those senatoriables or are they just for the money? And do the senatoriable candidates use them to get their fans to vote for them?

The second question is pretty obivious. The answer is yes and I begin to wonder if people vote them because they are good or they vote them because their favorite artist is endorsing them. The first question, not so much. You'll see Sarah Geronimo endorsing for Senatoriable Candidate Angara and many more and you just have to wonder if they are endorsing them just for the money. Sometimes, we do not know the motives of people and we are easily manipulated by them through technology. Especially in our country's state today, it is very crucial since it's election.
It made me question artists and people who vote for them and endorse them because I really think that they just vote for them because their idol is endorsing them like I said in the beginning. It is very very clever of these promotional people to get artists like them who are very loved by the masses.

To those who are in the legal age and are fans of these artists, try to question yourself if you're voting for the artist or are you voting for the senatoriable candidate. It will lead only to a thing if you're only voting because your favorite artist is endorsing the candidate, CHAOS in our beloved country.

A Star Gone Mad

2007-03-10T19:14:00.000+08:00

Celebrities are looked up by ordinary people who stay infront of the TV and say, " Shucks, I want to be just like her or him." Recently, A singer of our generation was all over the news. The news reached people all over the world, in Antartica, in Asia, in Africa and in Europe.

I don't want to name her but I think that you know who I am talking about. She shaved her hair off, she partied with such people who had bad reputations and and the tabloids caught her with no underwear. Come on, Kids are watching the television! She's a public figure!
I am in a way speaking badly about her but what can you do when all you see in ET or E! how she's living but she should know that she has fans that are children and are not setting a good example. She should also know that she's better than that. She doesn't have to take drugs to forget about her ex-husband.

I personally don't know her and I know I should not judge her because we haven't met but she should know that she should start and act like a good example for kids nowadays. I know she's trying her best to be the best mom that she can be for her kids.
What I'm trying to say through this entry is that, if you are a public figure, act like yourself and don't act like it's the end of the world for you that you go out and do drugs or whatever.
You just have to mourn for a bit and move on and don't do vices.

A Racist World?

2007-03-09T20:20:00.001+08:00

There are different types of people here in this world. You can classify them as smart, not so smart, tall, short, normal, abnormal and many more but there is a classification of human beings by their race or color of their skin. White, Yellow and Black are the colors of humans here in this world. But which is the highest race and which is the lowest?

I begin to notice, some shows in america and U.K. sometimes do not have Asians, African American or Black people. If there is, it only has one or two, limited members are from different races. Is our world, a racist world? There was a news about American Idol by the View saying that it was a racist show, maybe, or maybe not.

No one is above anybody. We should not stereotype people and say that, you're white and you're so superior than everyone in this world or even say, an asian is just a slave or something (like they say about filipino women) or even say, black people are criminals. Never stereotype a person for what he or she looks like.

Conclusion three

2007-01-11T22:25:00.000+08:00

And it ends here.

As i read my entries, I realized that it the media today shows how materialistic we are. We should wake up and see the wonders of this beautiful chaotic world, as Katelyn Tarver's song goes " It's a wonderful crazy. It's a beautiful out of control. 'Cause my life is so wonderful crazy."
Media today should show more of the truth rather than the things that we want to hear for it is pleasing to the ears. We, as audience, should know when to know what things are harmful and gives wrong information to people especially the youth of today.

We should think twice if we want to be influenced by these sort of media. We should think first if the message that they wanted to show people is good or just plain strategy to get you to like the prduct.

We are given this life to enjoy and to take hardships not to take it easy and stay still. We should act on what we believe in. We as the audience should not keep our guards down on media stuff. The media people are given the power to reach out to people but some do it in a bad way.

Small things have big impacts on people and people should not be gullibe to the ways of the media.

Chin Chin Guiterrez

2007-01-11T21:21:00.000+08:00

Chin chin Guiterrez is one of the famous women of the Philippines.
She is also an evironment advocate.
She is also and actress.
And she met a tragedy recently.

She is one of the strongest persons that I know. She saved her mother before she thought of saving herself. A heroic thing to do and how sweet to think that she saved the person that made her the person that she is today.

I pay tribute to Chin chin Guiterrez in this entry being a hero to someone.

In spite of having 3rd degree or 2nd degree burns, I saw her at TV patrol giving away food and things to those people who were included in the fire calamity like her. To think that she is still hurt by the tragedy, her mother is still in the hospital, she still had the time to visit people and give away things to help them.

People should look up to her and follow her ways because it is what Jesus would do.

It was good to see that the news of today still give people the recognition that they should have. It shows hope to those people who are still strunggling to live.

Cellphones

2007-01-11T21:02:00.000+08:00

I will not be a hypocrite.
I am addicted to cellphones.
Everytime there is a cellphone being shown in commercials or in music videos, I'll always tell my dad that I would love that cellphone as my birthday gift and he just waves me off.

Cellphone is a major topic when our pastor in Church preaches. He said that you always carry your phones everywhere, even in Church and it takes your time off listening to God's Word because you are too busy to press all those buttons and talk to your friend somewhere in this world. Come to think of it, he is right.

Cellphones are ruling our lives like robots are ruling the worlds of humans in irobot. We tend to work hard for this phones and in the end get a new one because it is not cool anymore.

And they say the Philippines is a poor country and yet even the poor have cellphones.

The media today tell people that if you have a cellphone, you're one of us. It is like saying you'll be one of the elite people in this world.

I am not against cellphones but the messages of the commercials are not suitable for people in all ages. They should show messages like it will connect you to your loved ones not hooking up with girls or guys.

Just my Luck

2007-01-10T18:15:00.000+08:00

A film starred by Lindsay Lohan and new comer Chris Pine.

Let me tell you one thing, it was beyond BORING!
First time I watched it, it made me sleep. Fortunately, I took the time to watch and get the message of this movie which is rather confusing for me.

The messages of this movie for me are there will be times that you will have your luck but it goes away also and do not be selfish if you have it.

I think that the message that I realized was not good. Luck is nothing compared to blessings.
When I watched Brothers Garcia, the father said that people tell him that he is the luckiest man on earth but he said no, I'm just blessed and it made me think that people do sorts of things to get luck like what Lindsay's character did but when you pray to God what you need he'll give it to you and he'll give you more."

There will always be times that you will break down and hit rock bottom and you cannot prevent it. For things are designed that way to make people stronger.

The next time people say you're lucky, say " No, I'm blessed by my Lord" because all good and bad things come from Him.

Steve Irwin

2007-01-10T18:08:00.000+08:00

He was one of the craziest men I have ever seen on documentary television shows.
I thought he was trying hard to please the audience.
I thought he was being ridiculous by endagering his life.
I thought wrong.

Steve Irwin is like the hero of animals. Steve Irwin is like "Doctor Doo Little" in real life.

It was fun to watch him do crazy things just to save animals and show people the other side of them. I sound crazy typing this but it is real, he somewhat wanted man to connect with animals and love them like he did.

In this entry, I pay tribute to the most crazy hero of the animals.

My cousin and I talked about his death and he told me that he was one of his heros. Wow, for to be someone's hero is a big thing. He did his purpose here on earth.
It made me think how I wanted to be remembered for something what the big Guy up there wanted me to do.

Steve Irwin, a crazy man, a loving father and husband, may his soul rest in peace.

The News

2007-01-10T17:45:00.000+08:00

Don't get me wrong. Bringing news is a good thing but do they have to show how people kill other people?

The news today shows how chaotic our world is. It is always bad things happen here in this country or do not go to this place because something bad will happen. To think children are watching the news which gives them a wrong impression of the world or people they are with.
You will hear or see good news sometimes like Filipinos are doing a great job and are being given awards in other countries.
They show it at dinner time. They let people see how other people get killed when they are eating. I mean, come one, that is the only time where families are together and have a great time and you show it while they are eating.

Why do I dislike News Programs?

They let people think that there is no hope in the country or in the world. I just wish that there will be a news program where they show or pay tribute to people who made someone happy or something.

When will that happen?

Friends

2007-01-10T17:29:00.000+08:00

Friends - noun
- group of persons you trust
- awarded television show

Friends are those persons who makes your time worthwhile in school or in places. Friends are those who tell you whether your outfit is so yesterday or they tell you if your shoes does not match. Those people who will tell you right in front of your face that you are wrong.

Those things are put together in one show where everyone there became stars. I do not watch friends regularly but I watch them when I want to laugh. It is funny to see how they make their problems seem like a joke but they do exaggerate. And that is what makes me also hate the show.They show situations where they act so stupid and it makes the scene corny but it captured Americans' eyes. Though friends is a good show when Joey does not act that stupid or when someone in the friends circle does not act that stupid.

One thing I also like about the show is when they show real life problems like Rachel being a single mother, Monica and Chandler not having a baby and whatever things.

Watching friends will make you realize that things just do not go your way, you have to take note of the persons that will be included.

Introduction three

2007-01-10T17:13:00.000+08:00

Another chapter of entries begins..

Being exposed to this kind of generation is rather complicated. People live in poverty. People live in a world where everybody is a perfectionist. People live in the world of fake things.

What we see in advertisments in Televisions or posters, some of them are true,some are not.
But, should we care for those material things?

In my Third Quarter entries, you will find my opinions on things about the messages that they show in the media today. I will also pay tribute to people who made me realize that there is still hope for this world, for the Philippines.

I hope you will see how I view this kind of world...

Conclusion two

2006-10-19T19:35:00.000+08:00

Half way through the year....
And my conclusion starts here.

Women, we do dominate the world. Some guy or girl said that " Behind a good man is a good woman", see how we strongly influence persons? We were created to be respected and to be proud of ourselves. I know that I sound like a girl who has a big ego because she's female but I can say that I'm proud to be a woman\female\girl!

I realized that we should act what we should act. We should not follow silly things that we think that are ridiculous. We have our own minds, we should use it. We shouldn't be fooled by other people that we should think that we need to look skinnier than we look. Be proud of what you look!

I also realized that we look down on ourselves that's why we have bullimic and anorexic people.
Those people should realize that you look good just being yourself.

Anorexia in HOllywood

2006-10-17T21:33:00.000+08:00

ANOREXIA.... it's dominating HOLLYWOOD!

You'll see news about this on ET, E or the Insider. It's really dominating hollywood - WHICH MEANS IT'S DOMINATING THE WHOLE WORLD.

People see such influential persons on TV and see their figures. What do they or what do we see? We see people who are super duper skinny and their sizes ranges from sizes 1 - 2. DO we have a STICK FIGURES?! I don't think so.
Women, WAKE UP! You don't have to be super duper skinny just to feel sexy. You can feel sexy when you SAY YOU ARE SEXY. You look beautiful when you SAY YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Don't let some stupid thing dominate your world. Let God, love and beauty dominate your life not a stupid thing.

Take a break from Girl power stuff

2006-10-16T21:23:00.000+08:00

I'm a fan of reality shows. I'm a fan of Big Brother, Fear Factor and recently, PInoy Dream Academy. I heard this song made by one of the scholars in the academy. I was never a fan of OPM Music mainly tagalog songs. STill not a fan of it but this song is an exception to this. The name of the song is "Hawak KAmay" by Yeng Constantino.

Hawak kamay is a song based on the story of Yeng and her favorite Cousin. I can personally relate to this but not to the story of Yeng. When you just want to let go of a problem, you might want to listen to this. Recently, I've been so stressed because of everything. The rush of tests and I don't even know if I passed a subject or what. I listened to this song a while ago and I was like Filipinos are really great in expressing their feelings through songs and the songs that we create are really heartfelt and people can relate to them.

More power to those Filipino songwriters out there! DOn't be ashamed to be a Filipino and all those who send hate letters to our nation, just let them be. They don't know what they're doing.

How to touch a girl

2006-10-05T21:49:00.000+08:00

This song was written by jojo.

The song said: If you want me so much, first I have to know if you're thoughtful and kind, do you care what's on my mind? Or Am I just for show?.

When I heard this song, I was like, this is the message I've been looking for. The message that I've been sharing in the past previous. How to touch a girl is a great song for those guys who do not know about courting girls. I don't know why I chose songs that has a message about courting girls, seems weird but I see some of my friends having the same problem. We are in our crucial stage in our lives. We tend to fall for anything that seems cute or cool. This is one of the problems that we, teens are facing. Are you getting into a relationship just for the sake of saying that you experienced having a bf or a gf? It's rather sad to hear people of their situation because of peer pressure. Go into a relationship because you know that you're just not for show.

Never Underestimate A Girl

2006-09-30T17:19:00.000+08:00

This song was sung by Vanessa Hudgens. It is rather poppy and techno. For me, it sounds too poppy but I love the meaning of the song! This song shows GIRL POWER! I love this part.

She makes it look easy
In control control completely
She'll get the best of you... every single...time
That's right...no no no you should never underestimate a girl

I know being a sexist is not popular nowadays but some people are but they just don't show it that much. Women are to be respected for the way they are.
I just want to say to all the women who are reading this, let no man bring you down. Like I said before in my previous entry, Do not let a man treat you like a trophy. Do not let them use you. Women are smart, don't be like those characters in some movies or books who try and do stupid things just to let a boy notice her. Do not let stereotypes rule your life.

With you by Jessica Simpson

2006-09-27T23:02:00.000+08:00

I am not a fan of JEssica Simpson. I know about stereotypes for blonde women but sometimes it applies to her. Like the time when she said in her show "newlyweds" where she asked where buffalo wings came from or something like that. I am not here to bash her but I am here to review her song.
I find the situtaion of celebrities quite annoying. Celebrities try to show how they are nice and all which is good but with all news about how people get divorced after a MONTH of marriage, they got their divorce and what is she or they are presenting to people? They are saying that divorcing people is okay. And how weird is that?

BAck to the song:
The song talks about how her husband makes her feel comfortable. Somehow, i find the relationship ideal. A guy should treat a girl how she should be treated - with respect. What I have realized when I was reading the lyrics was that not a lot of commercials here and abroad are respectful to women or to elders.

We should be treated with respect and we should not be a trophy girlfriend/wife for guys like they show in media today.

She Could Be

2006-09-07T20:21:00.000+08:00

This is the new single of Christian Bautista. It is his first upbeat song.

Having a good melody and catchy tune, it got stuck in my head. And I'm singing it now.

The song talks about the composer's ideal girl. Girls should listen to this song because it talks about how a girl is beautiful just being simple. You don't have to be flirty. You don't have to have a nose job if you have "pango" nose. You don't have to follow what celebrities are doing.
You just have to show your real self and someone will find you pretty or beautiful. Unlike what is being shown in advertisments, you have to big boobs so guys will look at you or even you have to have full lips or you should pluck your eyebrows to look older. You don't have to do all those things. You have to flaunt what you got. You don't have to try all those new things for you to be beautiful. You're beautiful in your own way.

Someone will mean the world to you, You mean the world to someone.

Introduction 2

2006-09-07T20:11:00.000+08:00

A new introduction begins.

After writing about songs, movies and music videos, I will talk about songs or films or any article that invovles women and love for someone. Songs/videos/films that slautes women of being a woman or a girl or even a girl telling people how they love being with someone who makes them comfortable.

Love is a broad subject and is often associated with couples.
Women are often described as "crazy or complicated".

But love and women make the world go round. Without women, there will be no human beings. Without love, I think there will be no world.

Enjoy and read about how our minds work.

Conclusion One

2006-08-08T19:37:00.000+08:00

This is the end of my first quarter entries.

I therefore conclude that Media is a very powerful material. You can mostly read about my insights on songs. Why songs? I chose songs because I hear them everyday. I realized that songs have great effect on people. I also realized how true technological determinism is. When you listen to these things or watch it you are glued to your speakers or your televisions.

I also realized that other people can control you through a medium. You just have to know your limits.

While writing all those entries, I learned about valuing life, treasuring your relationship with your special someone while you are still together. I also realized that love will come to you, you don't have to look for it. It will come to you willingly.

The Deal With People Watching Horror Movies

2006-07-31T22:32:00.000+08:00

I find it funny when my sister watches scary movies and scream and do lots of things not to watch the part of the movie. Most people I know do that. If the scary part is being shown they hide or they cover their eyes. People watch horror movies and then close their eyes, it is really funny. But here is the point, you watch a horror movie to be entertained or scared but you just close your eyes.

Isn't it ironic? You watch a movie then close your eyes. I do not like watching horror movies because I will get nightmares for about 3 months. While I was in front of the computer, my sister was watching The House of Wax. She screams when the scary part is on, she changes the channel then changes the channel back to the movie.

It just makes me wonder how come people love it watch horror movies and close their eyes.

Have a nice day!

Keep On Keepin' On

2006-07-28T20:08:00.000+08:00

Keep On Keepin' On
Jojo

Ooooh-ooohh
hey-yeeeah

You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy

[VERSE 1:]
Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal
Second hand clothes
Surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night
That things'll get better soon

I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story
But no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now
Happiness is hard to find right now

[CHORUS:]
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will flyyyyy

[VERSE 2:]
Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (so so sad)
Seein other kids with their Tims on
Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin' for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry, there'll come a tiiiiiiime

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)
Why did God choose to make my life so complex
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is her only source of fun
I can almost guarantee you
It'll get better soooooon

[CHORUS]

Just the title itself gives me hope. When I listen to this song, I do more things for the day. This is actually my theme song for my high school life.

There will be always ups and downs in your life but you have to decide if you want your downs to affect you and just sit there and be a burden to people. When I hear this song, I just stop and appreciate such lovely lyrics. This song was made by Jojo herself. She went through all those obstacles and look where she is now. She saying that hey, no matter family background you have, or how poor you are you should never lose hope and reach for your goals.
You just have to have a strong faith in God and everything will be in place. Never doubt what the Lord has given us.

For my fellow third year students and to aybody who is reading this:
In times of hardship and trials, you just have to know who is higher. You just have to look up and say Lord, thanks for these trials because you have a better plan for me than I have for myself. Believe in yourself and in what you can do. Don't let one thing that dissapointed you hurt your future.

Have a nice day!

Grey's Anatomy

2006-07-27T18:16:00.000+08:00

I've been thinking hard for this entry because as much as I love doctors,( I have to love them because my dad is a doctor and my uncles and aunts are doctors (pressure!)) I hate it when they perform surgeries on television.

I've been an avid watcher since summer. Grey's anatomy is a tv series that revovles around doctors like ER but in a fun way but not like Scrubs. Grey's anatomy is a more serious show than Scrubs and it revovles around Merideth Grey and Dr. Shepherd.

It made me realize how I hate science and I will not be taking medicine as my course or any branch of science. Just watching how they cut the chest or stomach or the back of the person gives me the creeps! I cannot believe that my dad does these things all the time and yet he is not grossed out. I love the show but when they show how blood shower like a fountain, I scream and go to my mom. It made me realize that I will not have a future in medicine like I said before. I'm visualizing now how my dad cuts through the skin and he sees all the internal organs and holds them in his hands. I will faint if he ever invites me to see his operations! I'm sorry if I grossed you out, ms..

I recommend you to watch it because it is very informative and it is fun to watch the love life of Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Grey minus all those surgeries.

Have a good day!

Too little, Too late by Jojo

To little, Too late
Jojo

[Verse 1]
Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But boy you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game (You know it's just too little too late)

So let me go now
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know...

[Chorus]
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You're just a good chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

Yeah yeaaahhh... It's just too little too late... Mhmmm

[Verse 2]
I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate (You know it's just too little too late)
Go find someone else
And letting you go
I'm loving myself
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help
'Cause you know...

[Chorus]
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You're just a good chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

[Bridge]
I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you I don't have a prayer
That's the way to live
Ohhhh... mmm nooo
It's just too little too late
Yeaahhhh...

[Chorus]
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You're just a good chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

You know it's just too little too late [2x]

[Chorus]
It's just too little too late
A little too long
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You're just a good chase
So be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

This song is the new single of Jojo. I picked this song because it's new and the video is full of fluff yet it is true. What struck me most about this song is how relationships could go to waste like the one we discussed a while ago in english about the friendship poem by Caroline Norton. I also was struck by the lyrics of the song specifically:
I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
because teenagers today go into relationships even though they do not know the person that much or like they just talk through texts. It is true abou the saying "Love is blind" because you do all these sorts of things and you cannot see if the person is using you or he trully appreciate you. After you go into that part of the relationship you regret what you did and mourn and eat ice cream or comfort food for weeks.I have not been in love but I listen to my friends' problems about their boyfriends or their soon to be boyfriend aka "torpe".
People do crazy things when they are in love but the message of the video or story is to know your limits. If you doubt you bf/gf confront him or her. It also tells us about how to love yourself before you go into relationships. You should know yourself and know what you want in your soon to be boyfriend or husband. Or you'll regret everything.

I'm not missing you

I'm not missing you
Stacie Orrico
Beautiful Awakening

Oh, Oh
I’m not missing you
Been through just about everything that I could go through
When it comes to relationships
Don’t know what I was missing or why I ain’t listen
When I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again
Cause of my curiousity
Now that it’s over
What else could it be _____

I made a promise never to settle
Why didn’t I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

CHORUS
(But) I’m not missing you
I’m not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I’m not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I’m usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
But this time it’s different
I don’t even feel the distance
I’m not missing
I’m not missing you

It’s a shame in a way cause
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

I made a promise never to settle
Why didn’t I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

Chorus x 2

No I can’t be with you
Cause I'm scared felt like I was falling when you left me
I can’t keep going through life
Unaware of what I missed
And the person I could be
Love's good when it’s right
And when it's left in your memory
All the times I let you down
I guess love will be nice for someone else's life

(But) I’m not missing you
I’m not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I’m not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I’m usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone (I used to hate it)
Oh different, oh feel the distance
I’m not missing
I’m not missing you

I’m not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me (knockin' at my door)
You might have had me open
But I must be going because (it's the best day of my life)
I know I’m usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
Oh different, feel the distance
I’m not missing
I’m not missing you I'm not missing you (oh baby)
I'm not missing you
I'm so over you
It ain't even a problem

Stacie Orrico, a Christian contemporary artist has come back with this new single for those who are hung up with their past relationships.

This song, even the video talks about a girl who moved on. The guy is still hung up with the girl and he's trying to mend his relationship with her. Clearly the girl treated the guy as her life. Now, she doesn't like to enter relationships because she's afraid that she'll go through the things that she went through when she was with him.

Message of the song:
if someone leaves you because he cheated on you and he wants to mend your relationship and go back to what you were, leave him. He is not worth your time, don't dwell in the past.

What do I think about the way she sings:
I just want to say, Stacie Orrico is a singer who does not over sing unlike other singers who try to reach the highest note of the song. And the song has a great melody; it's like Because of you by Kelly Clarkson. It's a mad song but the melody is mellow or cool.

HAVE A NICE DAY!!

Superman

2006-07-09T20:42:00.000+08:00

the most awaited movie of the year..

SUPERMAN!

I watched the movie at greenhills promenade. The movie theater was one of the best movie houses i have ever been to.

What can i say about the film?

1. The cinematography was great!
2. The plot, I was not a fan of the plot.
-It was only interesting when Jason, the son of superman/Clark Kent showed signs of his powers. They were locked in the yacht and Jason pushed the piano because the guy was trying to kill Lois.
3. Brandon Routh, for a newbie at the movie industry.He was good and Kate Bosworth was great! I think the movie revolved around her. It was weird.

That's all for now.. Sorry if i spoiled the movie.. if only.. haha... that's another movie! joke! hhaha..

HAVE A NICE DAY MS. PLATON! take care!!

High School Musical

2006-07-03T18:36:00.000+08:00

What is the buzz? Everybody's talking about this movie since the trailer was shown in disney channel. This Tv-Movie was a big hit in the States when it was first aired in January 2006. Now, it is a big hit in Asia.

I am a fan of this Tv-Movie not just because "hott" Zac Efron from summerland is the lead of this movie. For me, this tv-movie is one of the best movies Disney had created.

Why did this movie become famous?

1. It shows the meaning of unity in school
2. It shows how people are divided into cliques that are ridiculus.
3. Shows how you can bloom in high school
4. It also shows friendship in a higher level

the message of this movie is to take risks. Do not be afraid and if you love doing something,do it. Don't let things hold you back because someday you will regret it and treat people with respect.

All in all.. THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE!

bye miss platon!
