Fun Learning in the digital age,

When books don't serve to feed your understanding, it could be really burdensome to us. We've been spending hours reading and comprehending terminologies we've just encountered and after that, the heck of memorizing comes! Well, the learning process seems to be stagnant at some point but we can't help it but to continue what we've just begun. We may have read it all but the problem is, can we correlate it all as well?

To tell you, there are many ways to learn. Books are not only the solution. One thing that we can learn is to look at them closely by knowing how they are working. Since we live in a century where technology is advanced, getting in touch with the internet is one of the option. Each year, the net community is evolving much to our benefit contributors all over the world want to impart their knowledge to the netizens. Youtube could testify to that. Aside from numerous covers we see in the mainstream are also numerous tutorials we can find in the search list. The how-tos in each field will provide you a lot of information including those infos you didn't know before. Some videos are presented in a lively manner and some are animated for the viewers entertainment.

I'm going to show you the cartoon version of the birth process..from ONCE UPON A TIME - LIFE

One that caught my attention today was a video about PLATELETS and IMMUNITY. Well certainly it is not much of my interest to read it on books but to my surprise, it was presented in a cartoon style! FYI, I love cartoons! I can't leave my childhood memories behind but the video is like what we see in cable channels and it teaches us about how the platelets work in our body. It was really amazing.

And that was the start I'm searching videos relevant to that. You know, I learned a lot from them and I understood it more than I read it in the books. I realized that if parents can be able to introduce this to their children, not only they will find entertainment to these videos but knowledge.

They are really fun to watch. The characters are so cute most especially the platelets, the corpuscles and everyone involving the human body. The next video is a tutorial about how to do the safe and effective phlebotomy procedure..well you can search whatever you want in Youtube:))

Learning doesn't have to limit in books or in the class, you should see it yourself. You should have the perception that as you learn, you store it for a long time and share it. It's more fun if you and your mates share the knowledge and impart it to others as well. Have a productive vacation

Goodbye Filipino Action Movies...

I'm not a typical couch potato.. I choose what I watch and when I watch a certain movie, then that movie must be really special. If you're thinking I'm into Hollywood movies then you're certainly wrong. I'm not one of those retards who prefer watching sci-fi, animated, x-rated, and very nonsense movies. Do you think I'm a critic, well you shouldn't have because I only want to watch OUR OWN movies...the Filipino movies to be exact. 

If you think I'm cheap on choosing our own, then have second thoughts. I'm preferring to the old Filipino movies... where the legends were the ones playing in the silver screen. Whose talents are high-calibered and whose acts are superb that people nowadays can only just remember their memorable lines slashed out from their very tongue. To be honest, I'm fond of watching action movies. Everytime I look back to the classics, I'm always amused how actors like FPJ and Eddie Garcia exchange tactless lines and how the sounds of the bullets excites me the most.

So much for the drama part, what I'm very very disappointed is about the declining of the filipino action movies. The modern cinema only focuses on low rated comedies, romance, and horror movies without giving attention to the action movies. What's this supposed to mean? No one likes action movies anymore? I think not. That would sadden action stars like the late Fernando Poe Jr., Rudy Fernandez, Bong Revilla, Robin Padilla, Lito Lapid and others who made action movies alive during the late 90s. Action movies in the Philippines reached its peak during this time and numerous action movies were produced on this era as compared today. Take note, these movies although lacked with cinematography and effects were outpowered with the acting of these action stars who were ready to combat at any time.. be with weaponry or martial arts. I simply admire these actors.

Well, I don't know what's happening with the modern Philippine cinema. Maybe they're thinking action movies will not be anymore a hit to the public so much it's obviousness the industry starts to face its downfall. Actors nowadays are also not in the levels of the aforementioned action stars coz they're maybe afraid of getting a scar on their faces. Such a gay, clinging on to fancy romantic movies and always think of money! Such a shame, really! No one would ever want to take the steps of the next FPJ or Eddie Garcia..or no one would ever want to be a bad boy like Robin Padilla..the world today is way different than yesterday so to say. 

Although the Philippine cinema changed a lot, we can always look back to what has been the golden years. We can always witness them by watching those movies again. With that, we can always compare and contrast the changes brought by the time. So I guess I'll say GOODBYE to the downfall of the Filipino action movies and say 'BOO' to the lousy movies of today. What a bitter reality it's the Philippines' loss again!
