18. Speech Choir (Champion)

      After all the struggles and pain we are all on this together. And it grows another victory! I feel overwhelmed and proud to my blockmates because I am one of them. We help each other if there's a competition and events. And tadaaa! We are CHAMPIONS! I am thankful to god because he granted my wishes. And one of my wishes is to win this competition.

                         During our practice, everyone seems busy to their roles and I am one of them. I always listen to our choreographer and to the leaders. Some of my blockmates we're playing all the time and sometimes I shouted at them because it's not funny anymore. But, there are times that we are having fun with each other and we do that if the practice is over. Every day we always practice to make our stage play more beautiful.

                                      There are different courses inside the Auditorium and all of them were good! Someone called our group and we go there but they should play our AVP first. So after playing our AVP. We started to play our presentation and we are all focused to what would happen next. "Pak pak pak ganorn" that words come up in my mind whenever we move another step and it was fun hahahaha! After we played I am thankful to MA because they cheered us. We go back to our seats to hear the other IGNITE SPEAKER and after the speaker, the judge will say who'll win the competition. 

             All the judges were done giving trophies to other courses and  our block wasn't called yet. I feel very nervous that time and someone called our block and said that we are the CHAMPIONS of the competition. I feel honored and at the same time happy. Because all the pains are worth it. And we go in the stage to have picture taking with professors and the MA block. We are best friends and we are there to support each other. 

             Thank you for our professors who taught us all about English and I will miss my professors. Especially, Ms. Elizabeth. I might cry now hahahaha. I will miss the happenings in our English Term. And I won't forget the victory and the memories.

            

17. Speed Speech

                        At first, I feel very scared to this game when the host called my name and I don't know how to overcome my fear. Me and My Blockmate Charella, tried this game if it's effective and I promised to myself that I will win this game. There are 5 contestants and all you have to do is to transition words. I feel nervous at the first thought because I don't know how the mechanics goes through the game.

        Game flows and all of us are speaking. I'm so happy when the host told me that I am the next speaker. So, I go in front and transitioned all the words he said. Many people are supporting me and they are shouting "Go tinah! Go tinah!" I was so happy and I answered all the words.

        And after all of the contestants done with their speaks. The judges give their verdict to us. I received 3 Likes which means that all of them are agreed with my transitions. To be specific, it means EXCELLENT! 

          So I have to challege my opponent which is a BM student. The host give all the words but it's vice versa. The game flows and flows and students chose me to be the WINNER of the game! And lastly, I overcome my fear without doubts and I wish that I can play the game again. 

         Thanks for AC and TM for supporting me and my crush see me having a speech in front. Waaaah! I'm blushing and at the same time inloved. He is a BM student. A man who wears glasses and he is BELANI. He is my inspiration why I won the game.

16. SPEAK SENSE

       
     

       

       At friday, we have no classes again so our professor told us to watch the students showcase their talents in terms of speaking and who would win. I feel nervous at first eventhough I'm not joined in the competition and I have goosebumps to them because I don't know what would happen next but more excitement. Other speakers are emotional and I really feel the feelings of them attached on their speeches.

        There 10 speakers and each of them will go in front to state their speeches. I feel excited because I want to hear what will they speak of course. I admire the girl one because her speech has a lot of feelings and she won as a 1st place of this competition. All of us was shocked and amazed. 

         She's worth it and she nailed all of the prize and she's very nice and good. I like this kind of activity because it helps us to train ourselves to become good speakers in the future.

15. Phantom of the OPERA

                     I love this play because they are all good in singing! How I wish my voice was like their voices. I heard some people says the title because it's very popular and I love this very much. 

      

         All the characters played their roles very nice, the props, the prosthetics are well used. I was stunned for a while when Christine sang a song and it makes my heart melted because of the lovely voice she had. I feel like i'm blowing by the wind and I have a crush on Erik. At the end of the play, I thought that he will remove the mask and the prosthetics as well because I want to see his handsome face.

          At the end of the play, the woman who first played the role of Christine was there, surprising the audience, including myself. I was amazed when she sang. It seems like her voice never gets old because it was still beautiful as ever, the former phantom was also there and he was also good. And they collaborate with other singers.

13. Plagiarism

                          

         Copy everywhere you want.These are the things that most lazy people do when they’re making some thesis, projects or assignments. It is the way where many people keeps copying the work of one another without crediting to the owner. 

          The expression of original ideas is considered intellectual property and is protected by copyright laws, just like original inventions. Almost all forms of expression fall under copyright protection as long as they are recorded in some way. 

    

              Using an image, video or piece of music in a work you have produced without receiving proper permission or providing appropriate citation is plagiarism. The following activities are very common in today’s society. Despite their popularity, they still count as plagiarism. 

        According to some of people, plagiarism helps them to makes their project more easier that it has been before. Some people are plagiarized because they have no time to do the necessary work of them if the deadline is tomorrow. They have to plagiarize anything to sustain their needs to their works. 

            The legality of these situations, and others, would be dependent upon the intent and context within which they are produced. The two safest approaches to take in regards to these situations is confirm the works usage permissions and cite them properly.


             Do credits to them because it's their ideas not yours so appreciate their works. You have to face consequences because what you do is cheating. But, overall you have to take risks because if you want to be passed, pursue it and work hard for it to be successful.

       

12. Christmas on 25th of December

                            

         I love christmas! My birthday was on December 25, 1998 and I feel blessed because I have the same birthday of our lord Jesus. We all know that lots of people are celebrating christmas every year, right? It's good because it helps us to bond to our family and we think of our lord, Jesus. Well, I'll state why christmas was celebrated on 25th of December.

          The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ. A Mass service where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The 'Christ-Mass' service was the only one that was allowed to take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at Midnight! So we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas. Because Christmas Day is the day where baby Jesus is born and the three kings arrived to bless the baby and also the parents.

            There's a strong and practical reason why Jesus might not have been born in the winter, but in the spring or the autumn! It can get very cold in the winter and it's unlikely that the shepherds keep out of the hill. Many people who have studied the Bible, think that Sukkot would be a likely time for the birth of Jesus as it might fit with the description of there being 'no room in the inn'. It also would have been a good time to take the Roman Census as many Jews went to Jerusalem for the festival and they would have brought their own tents/shelters with them!

             I love it when I saw family having their quality time, and many are happy because they are exchanging gifts and they are showing their love to their loved ones and Jesus is happy because he see that many family are gathered to celebrate the day where Jesus was born.
