1st Reading: 1 Samuel 1: 24-28
Gospel: Luke 1: 46-56
The first reading is about the prayer of a wife (Hannah) who is praying to have a child. God answered her and gave her Samuel. While the gospel is about the Song of Mary.
While Hannah can be attributed to her trust in the Lord and being generous of what was given to her. She offered her child to the Lord for she believes, the child belongs to the Lord since she asked for it. Mary on the other hand is obedient and believes what is said to her will became true.
Being humble is both emphasized in the readings today. The importance of prayer reminds us that God is around us and willing to guide and help us in whatever endeavor we want in this life.
The first reading and the gospel are connected in the sense that these readings are talking about giving birth. The hope that is with these two individuals given by God will change the people of the world. Their coming to the Earth influences us that it creates an everlasting memory and teachings.

2012
The film shows the disaster of the earth. Overall, it was a good film worth watching and its heart touching drama.
It was a good film which depicts the situation at the end times. The form of family that is depicted in the movie showed the current set up of families in the modern society. Even the power of those who has money.
The events that was shown in the movie is quite over that sometimes I think it was not realistic. Although the animation is good but the reality of the events might sometimes a matter of discussion.
Overall, I recommend to watch the movie. It was good.
I gave it 9 out of 10.

The Duchess
This film depicts the life of Georgiana, the duchess of Devonshire. She is the character being loved and captured the charisma of the masses. Her love of fashion and beauty made her an influential women of her time in the movie.
Behind all these, her longing for a love and care of man is contain in her. I can describe her experience as a woman desperately looking for real love.
It is one of the best movie I've seen.

Yanggaw: Another Point of View
I am supposed to summarized the movie before I will give you my comments but since I don't like the task of summarizing, I decided not to do it. I will give you my critique/comment/reaction of the movie after watching it. I want to watch the movie for the second time so that I can review it well but since I don't have the pleasure, I will leave it to other critique.The movie is a good depiction of a rural lifestyle of a Filipino family. A typical family which can easily enjoy with little things and little oppurtunities in life. A good story/myth about the view of Filipino about witches has been presented in the movie similar to what I heard from my grandparents. The bamboo shoots relation to the witch season's attack, how the witch is actually infected and the witch doctor involvement and the questionable knowledge they know.
On the other hand, the movie must have been realistic if they emphasis on the news about the attack of the 'aswang' to the community. In fact, when someone died of questionable cause, especially what has been presented in the movie, one factor must considered to be the caused is aswang attack. The people in the movie don't have an opinion about this; instead they think it was the thief which is not enough reason for the evidence on the bodies of the victim.
I am not convince also that the aswang will attack her family members since the culture tells us that aswang does not attack even neighbor. That is supported by the saying "Maayo pa makasilingan ug aswang kay dili mangunay ug silingan kaysa kawatan."
The role of being a father and how he loves his family members and to keep them in his care is well presented in the movie. The actor itself is very well suited for the role. The heart of being a father and how it will handle things in this movie is too disturbing that instead of living in normal life, you will do things you've never done just to retain your family.

Enrollment Process in IIT - What's the problem?
I have been observing the enrollment process of MSU-IIT approximately 6 years of staying here in IIT. There are a lot of improvements in terms of automation as well as realization that makes the enrollment process short compared 8 years ago.
My writing today will focus on the problem during the enrollment.
1. Punctuality of People Involved. In general, one problem I observed during the enrollment is people involved in each process of the enrollment. Of course, excluding those who extends there work just to make the students feel as if the enrollment flow is fine and there are no missing people.
2. Lack of Planning. If planning is actually done before the enrollment I can say, it does not pass through thorough analysis and simulation. Example: I supposed that queue in the cashier is expected and the exit gate (entrance for vehicles) will be closed, but when I arrived in the morning first day of enrollment, there is no sign that the gate will be closed or even the chairs/huts outside the cashier is not yet assembled. I arrived around 8:30AM.
3. Lack of information and support for students. We cannot even see a visible information desk. Even the staff that is assigned in one process, for example assessment, does not know what's exactly is the next process and what are the requirements for each process. Except for those who's knowledgeable.
4. Students not cleared. Even though there are announcement that no clearance during enrollment period, there are still students who does not care for this. They will take care for there liabilities during the enrollment which sometimes disturb staff/faculty who is assigned a new task during the enrollment.
5. Students with INC or no grade. There are still faculty who cannot submit there grades on time. Some students also cannot complete the requirements of the course that is still trying to complete during the enrollment process.
These are some of the problems I think need to be address by the persons involved. We are trying to improve the enrolment through the use of technology but this will be nothing or less effective without the sense of responsibility of individuals.

Reasons of Having No Relationship
In our age (early and late 20's), marriage and relationships are very common. In fact, you will hear wedding of your neighbor, friends and mga kababayan mo na batch mo din. And here you are, wala man lang BF/GF. You might be thinking, Uh! Maiiwan na ako nito!
So I am sharing with you some situations where sometimes, we can never have a serious relationship:
1. You love/like the person that do not love/like you.
2. You love/like the person that loves someone.
3. You are so close that having a serious relatioship is difficult or complicated.
4. You don't like the person, that says he/she loves you.
5. You did not notice the people who actually care for you.
Think about it. But it's all about yourself, it is YOU who decided not to have one. Even your actions are saying it. You are only after of the things you like, never considering others. Even if you consider others, you tend to ignore them.
We must remember that in a relationship, it is about what you can offer. The same way, how you will sacrifice for the person that loves you, not for the sacrifice for what you want. Your feeling can always change, and looks is not the measurement of love.
Think of it.
