Alas, we've finally reached the end, my friends!  Literally speaking, we've reached the end of the school year, the end of our last Literature production and the end of our high school chapter. It has been a great ride. But before we say our goodbyes, I'd like to share some thoughts about our recent accomplishment (also because we're required to do this). As many of you know, I've always

Just like last year there was a lot of worry about how little time we had to prepare. I truly admire and appreciate how my classmates carried this stress. We joked that it would turn out to be a surprising success just as last year and, without much surprise and with a bit less humility, it did. Although I astonished myself by how much I was able to memorize within a short period, I knew it wouldn't

I didn't think that I would ever like the play, Julius Caesar. First of all, I was never really interested in Caesar or the First Triumvirate (not even when Mrs. Zuniga discussed this in History III). But, like all Shakespeare plays we've taken up, I gave it a chance. What I enjoyed most about this year's novel was that we actually got to hear it this time. The audio track was not only very helpful

I cant believe that it was our last play in lit eveeeer!!! Wow. I really thought that our play wouldn't be nice and all because of the limited time we had for practice,but i'm really happy that it was a success and a lot of people watched and enjoyed our play!!! *clap clap* And i also thought that we wouldn't be able to finish the backdrop but we did it!!! hooray! I think we spent

Waah!! You guys were amazing!!! XD Even though we were only given two days (?) to practice, you guys were able to pull it off! XD Amazing, amazing! It seems like it’s only yesterday that we began our first plays together, and now it’s one of our last! Throughout these years that we spent together, I saw the growth of our batch. Our batch really is amazing. ^^ You guys, are like, naturally good at

After doing the last literature play with this class, I realized that nothing, not even quiz bees, film showing or an amazing race could stop us from making our production a great one. We've been through a lot of plays and I can admittedly say that this play, Julius Caesar, was the only play we completely "yolo-ed". From the props, the acting, the set and the music... No one should underestimate our

The only thing that was running through my mind when we were practicing for our play (which was not a long time as you all know) was that this was our last High school play in Literature. can you imagine? we've been doing plays all together for like 10 years now and that was our last. it's so sad. everyone's saying that they're so excited to graduate already and end school but i can't enjoy it as

"Ah, thank you. Thank you all for your continuous support. I could not have done this without you. Especially you, everyone in class. It has been a pleasure." I'm not lying when I say that this year's production has truly been a pleasure to make. Even though I don't even really like the book itself, I found that this year, everyone was so great and mature about the production. I felt so proud! This

 Again, we did the play of Shakespeare; Julius Caesar. I found out Shakespeare's plays have dramatic flow of story and mysterious things such as ghosts and spirits.I didn't have a role in the play but I am so proud of our play because there were hardworking of everyone behind the performance. And I feel so proud of our background that it was supper nice more than I expected. It

I'll be honest, guys. When Ms. Arawiran told us to write something about what we learned during the production of Julius Caesar, I was already set on writing a corny, typical, and overly mediocre description of how we all "worked as a team" and  how the play was a "pleasant surprise" in the end for all of us. All pride aside, this is what I usually expect myself to do when I'm told to do something

Yes, that was probably my favorite line. (Lol, alam na.) I have to admit the day right before the play I was in this whole Les Mis vibe (still am), and I really felt like doing it for the play so as much as I could, I imagined we were doing Les Mis. (For reasons.) And I was, you know, a certain revolutionary. The leader naturally. The awesomest one. That is why in that part where we had to yell "Liberty!

I used to think I wouldn't be happy if I didn't have a cool role in the play. I don't mean a BIG role or anything--at least just an interesting one. I was so used to being one of those characters and I absolutely loved that. I love acting. This year, however, I had to give up my role as Cassius because I lost my voice the previous weekend and although I got it back before the play, my throat

During our practices for the play, I can’t help thinking that it would be our last production for Academic Week. Ever since, I’ve always looked forward to act with my classmates even if we only had small roles. It just came to me, that one afternoon that we’re all very talented. Not to brag or anything but I just really admire our class’s abilities in terms of performing. I, myself, admit that I

From this last Literature production (tears), I was able to rediscover and further affirm the greatness of my class but I was also able to find out something new about myself. Firstly, I discovered that I actually liked reading a Shakespearean work! Julius Caesar was a delight to read, and I'm not lying! I never really got to appreciate any work by Shakespeare but this one will take a special place

I always knew in myself that I never wanted to act. I do not like talking in front of big crowds of people; what more of acting? When I was given a role of a hobo, I set it as a challenge for myself. I told myself I can do it and I will do it properly. I did not have as many lines as Brutus or Mark Antony or Cassius, but for me, it was already plenty. When the play day came, however, I realized in

First of all, great set! I expected something simpler, because someone (was it Camille?) had asked me during class if you could just have a simple set, so I pictured something rather drab. Totally the opposite! So kudos to the backdrop team! I also liked the bearing of the conspirators; the teacher beside me even commented that they really did look like kontrabidas, what with the dark suits and
