We Are the Artist, We Are the Great, We Are ABMA 151

Speech Choir Competition

                This Speech Choir Competition is another challenge for our block. We have to act as one even though we have separated groups in the normal days. It is kind of cool because our block still have unity.

                During the first day of practice, to be honest, we don’t know exactly what to do. We are just waiting for our leaders to command us what to do or where is the position they will assign us.

                Week past and fortunately, we already have the whole piece in our hand. We know now what to memorize and where our position is.

                Next one is the choreography. Now this part is very tiring because we are doing things over and over again but we all know that that is the only way to memorize or master our choreography so everyone is being patient.

                Because of that, like other student, we get tired. We spend most of our free time taking rest or drinking water, laying ourselves on the floor or on the stage to take a little nap.

                Day of the competition, our block is the first one inside the auditorium. We forgot the tense that we felt and took selfies instead. After a while, we had some entertainment. Sir Nomer Yuzon Sang a song featuring the name of the Faculty Members of the English Department.

                The competition is starting and our block is the first one to perform since we are the first section from the ABMA Students. Because we are the first one, it is obvious that every one of us is nervous. We’re just glad that during our performance, we project smiles on our faces the whole time showing that we’re happy with our performance.

                After our performance, we watched we watched the performances of the other blocks. They are very good and you can say that everyone gave their best.

                Announcement of the winner and most of us are crossing our fingers. All of us are hoping to win.

Announcing the 2^nd Runner Up and our block is called! We are very happy that after giving our best, we’ve been paid.

                All the winners deserve to win and all of us are happy with the result.

                

"The Parasyte" Movie Reaction

"The Parasyte" Movie Reaction"

Parasyte is a science fiction horror manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, and published in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine from 1988 to 1995, but what we watch is the live action. This is the first time I've heard of it and it kind of disappointed me because as an anime fan, how come I've never heard of it.

The Parasyte starring Shota Sometani was released 29th of November year 2014 in Japan.

Before writing this blog, I watched the anime version and I can't stop comparing. There are many differences between the two but the main plot is still there. Also the story of the live action is kind of short compared to the anime version. Maybe it's because I haven't watch the part two of the live action. But still, it is a great movie.

My reaction about the movie is more focused on the part where Shinichi have to battle his Mother by his own because Migi just turned into a Sharp Weapon. I think for the side of Shichi, it is hard for him to battle his own mother because that person is the woman he loves. Of course, whose child can kill its own mother who raised them and protect them all their life? My tear just suddenly dropped when the mother talked saying “it’s me Shinichi " then it stopped its own attack to save Shinichi from it.

In the movie, it's not just about the Aliens entering the human brains via ear canal and taking control of their bodies. It also tells us about the love of a mother willing to risk her life just to protect her children until its last breathe. It has lesson to inform us viewers how powerful our love is. Because it is powerful, ever alien cannot control it.
