14 - Phantom of the Opera

According to Wikipedia, the Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909, to January 8, 1910. It was published in volume form in April 1910 by Pierre Lafitte. The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der Freischütz.



I was, well, late again so I haven't started the movie. It actually captured my attention from the moment I've entered the room. I was amazed by the voices of the characters. Thought, I thought the movie would just bore me to death because it was like a classical something, yet I enjoyed watching it. There were times I felt sleepy but when the movie is in it's climax, I couldn’t take off my eyes in the screen. I love the songs in the movie too! I was a bit scared because of some music that was used in the movie. I couldn’t actually help but to clap when the movie ended. I'd probably want to watch it over and over again. It will also always be one of the best movies I've ever watched!

The Phantom of the Opera is a classic tale that will forever last with us. Years and years from now people will continue to re-tell the story. Something tells me they’ll continue to screen the original Universal release as well. I hope you'll watch it too! It's probably worth of your watching for!

13 - Speak Sense


Last November 27 2015, a high school Public Speaking competition was held in the APC auditorium. I haven't started the said event because I did my ignite speech outline for Public Speaking 2. Well, I only remembered 4 speakers. First, the guy who had an issue with the a hotdog. Actually, I didn’t completely understand his story. The only thing I understand was him got in an accident because of a hotdog, perhaps? Second, the was the Korean guy (I aint actually sure if he's a Korean) who told her love story that happened in his high school days. That guy nailed it! I am very sure that lots of audience can somehow relate to his story  and I think I was too. It's a painful story yet I hope he can find the right girl for him soon! The next was the miracle baby. When the speech began and he was talking about a baby whom actually died then had been alive again. Then, I said to myself that maybe the baby he was saying was him. Then after few minutes, I was right! He said... It was him. It's kind of a cliche flow of speech, like you're telling a story of someone bla bla then at the end you'll going to say to the audience that it was you. But, never mind, it was really an inspiring story though. 

Lastly, the girl who won. How can I even forget her and her speech? The girl who overpowers everyone. The girl who told us her story. Her speech was so powerful. Honestly, I was amazed. I mean, it wasn’t that easy to tell a lot of people whom you don’t actually know personally your 
personal life.


I'd like to watch more Public Speaking competitions. <3
