COMEDY FINALS

The Play "New Yorker in Tondo" is a great and nice play. A lot of lessons can be learned throughout the story. The main protagonist, Kikay, can be compared to most Filipinos who goes to abroad and forgets their own language and culture. They were scenes that are comedy but in full it was a dramatic play especially on the scene that the baby carrying by Nena died and i feel depressed on that part. The lesson that I learned in this play is let us be proud of our country because whichever way we look at it we'll always be Filipino.  

The movie "Fabulous Adventure of Amelie Poulain" is a combination of drama, romance and comedy. This movie makes me happy and makes me cry in the end part. I was inspired by this movie because at first, the shy and daydreamer Amelie never let herself into other people, when she became a Parisian waitress and found a child's treasure, she decides to give it back to it's rightful owner. Seeing how happy the child was, she decided to step out of her 'comfort zone', help other people and find love. There are lots of lessons i learned just watching this movie like when you help someone you don't just make them happy, you also make yourself a better person. I'm glad I was able to watch this not just because I was inspired and learned a lot of lessons but also because it can change people's lives.

Tagalog Version of Hills like white elephants

 “Burol na parang puting elepante”

“Napaka simpleng operation lang siya Jig, " sabi ng lalake.

" Hindi siya talagang operasyon kung tutuusin." Ang babae tuminging sa sahig at ipinahinga ang paa sa lamesa.

“Alam ko hindi mo iintindihin, Jig. Wala talaga ito. Para lang makapasok ang hangin." Wala sinabi ang babae.

“Samahan kita palagi at hindi iiwan. Kailangan lang talaga papasukin ang hangin at magiging maayos na ang lahat.”

“Ano gagawin natin pagkatapos?”

“ Magiging okay tayo pagkatapos, Parang dati lang.”

“Paano mo nasabi?”

“Ayun lang naman ang gumugulo saatin. Yun lang ang bagay na napapalungkot satin.” Tumingin ang babae sa may kurtina na gawa sa bulitas, nilabas niya ang kanyang kamay at hinawakan ang dalawang kwerdas nito.

“Sa palagay mo magiging maayos na tayo at masaya?”

“Alam ko. Hindi mo kailangan matakot, Madami na akong kilala na nakagawa nito.”

“Pati ako,” sabi nang babae “Pagkatapos lahat sila naging masaya.”

“Sabagay,” sabi nang lalaki. “Pero kung ayaw mo hindi mo kailangan gawin. Hindi kita pipilitin kung ayaw mo. Pero alam ko madali lang.”

“Gusto mo ba talaga?”

“Sa tingin ko ito ang pinaka magandang gawin, subalit ayaw ko gawin mo naman pag ayaw mo talaga gawin.”

“Kapag ginawa ko magiging masaya ka na at magigigng parang dati lang at mamahalin mo ako?”

“ Mahal naman kita. Alam mo naman na mahal kita.”

“Alam ko. Pero kung gagawin ko yun, edi magandang sabihing muli na ang mga bagay ay parang puting elepante, at magugustuhan mo iyon?”

“Mamahalin ko iyon. Mahal ko na ngayon ngunit hindi ko lubusang maisip. Alam mo naman ako pag nag alala.”

“Kung gagawin ko yun, hindi ka magaalala?”

“Hindi ako magaalala dahil simple lang naman yun.”

“Edi gagawin ko. Wala naman akong pakialam sa sarili ko e.”

“Anong ibig mong sabihin?” “Wala akong pakialam sa akin.”

“Pwes, may pakialam ako sayo.”

“Oo, pero wala akong pakialam sa sarili ko. Kaya gagawin ko at magiging maayos ang lahat.”

“Ayokong gawin mo kung ganiuyan ang nadarama mo.”

Tumayo ang babae at lumakad papunta sa dulo ng istasyon. Sa kabilang dulo ay ang mga puno at pananim malapit sa Evro. Sa lamayo, sa pagkatapos ng lawa, makikita ang mga bundok. Sa palayan ay dumaan ang anino ng isang ulap at nakita niya ang ilog sa pamamagitan ng mga puno.

“At makakamit natin ang lahat ng ito,” sabi ng babae. “At makakamit natin ang lahat at araw araw mas gagawin nating imposible ang lahat.”

“Anung sabi mo?”

“Ang sabi ko, pwede nating makamit ang lahat.”

“Kakayanin nating makamit ang lahat.”

“Hindi.”

“Kaya nating makamtan ang buong mundo.”

“Hindi.”

“Kaya nating pumunta kahit saan.”

“Hindi. Hindi na iyon sa atin.”

“Sa atin iyon.”

“Hindi sa atin iyon. At oras na kuhanin nila iyon, hindi na natin muling mababawi.”

“Ngunit hindi pa nila ito binabawi.”

“Mag hihintay tayo.”

“Bumalik ka na sa lilim,” sabi ng lalaki. “Hindi mo dapat iniisip yan.”

“Wala naman akong iniisip,” sabi ng babae. “May mga nalalaman lang ako.”

“Ayokong gumawa ka ng bagay na hindi mo naman ninanais”

“hindi rinyan nakabubuti sa akin,” sabi ng babae. “Alam ko. Maari bang uminum pa tayo ng beer?”

“Sige, pero kailangan mong mapagtanto.”

“Napagtanto ko na,” sabi ng babae. “Hindi ba tayo pwedeng mag usap?”

Umupo sila at tumingin na namang muli ang babae sa bundok sa may tuyong parte nglabak. Tiningnan ng lalaki ang babae, at pagkatapos, tumingin siya sa lamesa.

“Kailangan mong mapagtanto,” sabi ng lalaki. “Na ayokong gawin mo iyon kung ayaw mo. Ayos lang sa akin kung may halaga man iyon sayo.”

“Wala ba iyong halaga sa iyo? Maari tayong magkasundo.”

“Siyempre, meron. Ngunit wala na akong ninanais kung hindi ikaw. Ayoko na ng iba. Ata alam kong simple lamang iyon.”

“Oo, alam mong simple lamang iyon.” “Ayos lang na sabihin mo iyon ngunit alam ko iyon.”

“Maari ba akong humiling ng pabor sayo ngayon?”

“Gagawin ko lahat para sa iyo.”

“Maari bang maari bang maari baaaaang tumigil ka sa pagsasalita.”

Wala na siyang sinabi pa, tumingin na lamang siya sa ,ga maleta na malapit sa pader ng istasyon. Ito ay may mga pangalan ng mga tinuluyan nila noong mga kasalukuyang mga gabi.

“Ngunit ayaw kong gawin mo,” sabi niya. “Wala akong pakielam duon.”

“Sisigaw ako,” sabi ng babae.

Lumabas ang babae sa may kurtina dala dala ang dalawang baso ng beer, inilagay niya ito sa ibabaw ng basang patungan ng baso.

“Dadating ang tren sa loob ng limang minuto,” sabi niya.

“Anong sabi niya?” tanung ng babae.

“Dadating na raw ang tren sa loob ng limang minuto.”

Ngumiti ang babae sa Ale para siya’y pasalamatan.

“Dapat ko ng ilipat ang ating mga bagahe sa kabilang bahagi ng istasyon,” sabi ng lalaki. Ngumiti ang babae sa kaniya.

“Sige, pagkatapos ay bumalik ka at ubusin na natin ang beer.”

Kinuha niya ang dalawang mabigat na maleta at ito ay inilipat sa kabilang bahagi ng istasyon. Tumingin siya sa riles ngunit hindi naman niya nakita ang tren. Pag balik, lumakad siya kung saan umiinom ang mga taong nag iintay sa tren. Uminom siya ng Anis at tumingin sa mga tao. Lahat sila ay sadyang nag hihintay para sa tren. Lumagpas siya sa may kurtina. Naruon ang babae atnakaupo pa rin sa may lamesa at sa kaniya’y ngumiti.

“Maayos na ba ang iyong pakiramdam?” tanung niya.

“Ayos naman ako,” sabi niya. “Wala akong problema. Maayos ako.”

Sets of opposites framework

In fast food chains here in the Philippines the rivalry start when Jollibee came in the market. McDonald’s, run by George Yang and Andrew Tan. And Jollibee, run and owned by Tony Tan Caktiong. More consumers say McDo is infinitely more profitable, renders better service and its people are warmer and less bureaucratic. 


Jollibee has good service, nice staff and fast service. But they care more about their supplies than the customer asking for it. Sometimes they don't give condiments, or give a few. Just like what I've experience, My friends and I bought a lot but they gave us 2 folds of tissue. I scolded them and gave me, but it feels like they don't care what i have said.


And another thing that makes McDonald's better is the use of utensils. It is so obvious that Jollibee is being frugal. In McDonald's they give you plastic utensils which others haven't used it yet. Unlike in Jollibee they use stainless. We'll never know who used. Even though they wash it properly or clean it with hot water, what if the last one who used it has cancer or other sickness. It can make the bacteria and viruses spread faster. 


So McDonald's is way better than Jollibee. Let's say that Jollibee's food are better. But the important thing in business is having a good service.

Comparisons between the Igbo culture and your own

The African and the Filipino culture are alike in a lot of ways. Both have a very rich culture in the field of art and agriculture. Both are composed of different ethnic groups. Both of them were westernized and were influence by their culture and religion, which was Christianity. Both are poor countries, but the Philippines has it better than Africa. Though both are in poverty, the Philippines isn't suffering as much famine as Africa is.

"Litform", "Elements of fiction", "DLSC"

The lines that tells the story how it goes is "But as soon as he did the child let out a scream. Don't, you're hurting me. Let go of my hands. Let them go I tell you. Then she shrieked terrifyingly, hysterically. Stop it! Stop it! You're killing me!"
This is the lines which made me think that the story is somewhat a brutal one and relates with the title use of force since the doctor uses his force on the child. The point of view of the story is the force that has been used in the girl. In real life, force is also an option whenever a person wants to dominate another person or animal. Then in the story, the doctor dominates the girl's fear and saved her from her sickness which she was hiding days ago.

LITFORM , DLSC "Use of Force"

As i read the story of "use of force", I imagined a kid who was force to leave a place where he really like. In the story, the kid girl was forced to open her mouth to see the tonsils. The little girl was spoiled brat and the doctor need to use a force so that he can see her tonsils. Again, the author shows how brutal the method could be in opening the mouth of the girl with the use of force. The doctor uses his hand to grip the jaws of the little girl and then followed by the spatula. For a kid like her, it can be dangerous to her emotional feelings, since her mother and father was also forcing her to do so. And then after the process, he saw what the girl was hiding about. I can relate the story in real life when street children were forced to work for their parents or in a syndicate group. They were forced to work the whole day and earning only little coins. Then sometimes they are being abused by the syndicate and dind't give them enough food to eat.
