Reflection Paper

To be a lot honest, during the first day of school when Miss Dedios ask us to literally build a transformer, i was really in panic especially when she said that it will be due on the next meeting. so many questions pop out on my head like " crap! whose gonna be my group mate???" " are we gonna finish this on time??" etc. kinda like first it was "HUH!?" but now, it's more on " uhhh...ok :)"
i really thought that it's going to be like that all the time but no and because it's fun. all that acting and singing kept every one active and busy but still laughing and cheering.

Philien for me is quite different from the rest of the subjects i took. i thought it will be sitting on the desks, hands supporting the head, eyes drooping and ears....dead. because some of my friend told me that their teacher in philien is just discussing the lecture then good bye. i was really happy and thankful to God that i got a happy-hyper-active teacher that make things around her alive especially when she comes up a new and crazy activity for us to deal with.

i really enjoyed the plays we did. it was funny and fun and i get to watch kenneth act like gay. those will be the most memorable day in philien especially when i saw our teacher is laughing and enjoying our play.."i will miss you and thanks for the learning experiences you gave us. God bless you and thanks again .....a lot."

so not all romantic movies are boy-and-girl relationship all the time. it gets boring sometimes. but watching a same-sex romance is something rather interesting like which one of them should act manly and girly. it kinda makes us wanna know how can a girl fell in love with another girl and how that other accepts her. And they say love is a mystery......


BBC News:
Drama gives 'first' lesbian fresh life

"On the day of filming I wondered if I'd go to pieces or start giggling," says actress Maxine Peake of her latest screen role.

"The first day I had to kiss someone, it was [actress] Susan Lynch and she just went for it and set the precedent. "Kissing somebody is kissing somebody, at the end of the day."

The 35-year-old star talks candidly about filming lesbian love scenes for a costume drama about the life of Anne Lister, a woman from the early 1800s who lived ahead of her time.

Even Peake jokes that her clinch with former Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien will inevitably attract viewers.

"Show them a bit of that and they'll all be watching!" she laughs.

But the Criminal Justice and former Shameless star stresses that the film sheds light on an important historical figure and brave woman.

Anne Lister was open about her sexuality and had a partnership ceremony with her female lover, faithfully keeping a coded journal detailing her love life and struggle against society.

"Anne did go forward and didn't try to cover it up. But she wasn't screaming from the rooftops 'I'm a lesbian' because there wasn't the word for it then.

"She took the flak and developed a hard skin - it was distressing for her," explains Peake. Indeed, the landowner was referred to as Gentleman Jack by her tenants and suffered abuse.

"I thought she could be naive at times and could be prone to histrionics, but she was driven and she wanted to live her life how she wanted to live it.

"What drives this character is her passion," continues the actress, who then mentions Lister's love of travel - and women.

"She had a very strong sex drive and had a lot of affairs, flirted with married women and was very competent at it - almost an arch-seducer," says Peake.

so in short, Annie has guts. not even ashamed of what she really is in front of the public, even if the others doesn't respect her much. it really did take a lot of courage to admit something like that just to get her right as a human being.

WHEN YOU'RE SIX

kids... all i know about them is that they are highly hyper active and they have strong sense imagination toward the things they see. but in the story, there's something bothering me and that's the word "Butch". every sentence in that story always has a "Butch" in it. but never mind that.

the technique they use in this story is a bit more like a sermon type or contradicting type because it contradicts what the kid should do and not to do when he's six years old. like should he cry for mommy or would he conquer his fear? and furthermore, more with repetitious like the " Even at six, you know that" at the last sentence and " butch" which describe the kid. it's also saying what ,as a six year old boy, should have been doing . like being all manly and mature outside but deep down his as scared as hell.
