               Camera is where we could capture the moments by taking a photo or video. These are old cameras some still working some don't anymore. People still use and keep these kinds of camera to have the vintage aesthetic look on the camera and to the cameras that aren’t working mostly people keep them as a collection

Telephone

                  This is a telephone that was used in the 60s. This was used to call people since cellphones didn’t exist that time. They are more telephones that are is still used these days on hotels, office, etc. but these kind of telephones don't really exist anymore or this generation don't use.

Flat iron

                   These are some old coins and bills from the Philippines back in the 50s - 90s. Even though these kind of money cannot be used anymore people keep them as a collection and passing it to the next few generations. 

These stuff can still be used and some that cannot be used anymore can still be kept as a collection or selling them to collectors or displaying like in a museum. 

Mystic of Campo: Timo, GUARDIAN of the PUTAT

Mystic of Campo: Timo, GUARDIAN of the PUTAT 

Author by: Jeanille Cogtas 

The loving father

              It is about a father who came across a Putat. When his carabao bump in to the putat he met Atong, an engkanto who gave the father an offer to make up the damages the carabao made. He had a choice whether to give away his daughter to Atong or something bad will happen to him. The father ended up fighting Atong instead of giving his daughter, he showed how much he loves his daughter.

 
              In the story there are some local color such as putat can be considered as object, collective of verdant trees that surrounds a very pond-like body of water from Pinamungajan. Putat is an engkanto’s home which is believed that no human should tamper with. The next one can be identified as social customs. “Tabi! Tabi!”, it is a filipino expression that when passing through a spirit and by tabi tabi it means excuse me or may I pass. It can be identified as social customs and dialect. Engkanto are mythical spirits and associated with the spirits of ancestors in the Philippines. In additional an engkanto have the ability to appear in human form. Lastly we have mannerism where the father decided to fight off Atong instead of taking away his daughter, it’s clear that he is selfless and would make a sacrifice for his daughter. That side of the father is a good personality trait and is considered as mannerism in local color.

        
            We can see that at the end of the story, Mang Timo fought Atong instead of giving his daughter away. Seeing that situation, I believe anyone or perhaps someone would do that when they love someone. In my opinion, I would also do what Mang Timo did, just so that the person we love can live freely, and that we can sacrifice for the ones we love

Seven Sundays Film Review

 

                    

SEVEN SUNDAYS
ni Victoria Margaret Lapera

                     

                     Seven Sundays directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, ito ay isang pelikulang comedy-drama galing sa Philipinas. Itong pelikulang ito ay ipinalabas noong Oktubre 11, 2017. Ang kwento ay tungkol sa isang pamilya na hindi nagkakaisa at nag uugnayan kaya’t ang relasyon sa kanilang pamilya ay magulo.

 
                      Mula nang mamatay ang kanilang ina, lahat ng kanilang mga anak ay naghiwalay na ng landas. Isang araw nagpa-check up ang ama at na-diagnose na may lung cancer. Nang malaman ng mga anak ang nangyari, inaasahan na ang ama ay walang sapat na oras upang mabuhay at maaaring mamatay sa lalong madaling panahon. Isang bagay lang ang ipinahayag at hiniling ng ama bago siya umalis at iyon ay ang muling pagsasama-sama ng lahat sa pamilya. Sa sandaling nagtipun-tipon ang lahat sa isang lugar, naisip ng ama na lahat ay magccatch up at mag bond, ngunit sa kasamaang palad ang lahat ay nag-aalala at nag-aaway sa sitwasyon ng lung cancer. Araw-araw simula nang magkabalikan ang pamilya, patuloy silang nagkakaroon ng hindi pagkakaunawaan at maling komunikasyon pero mostly tumatambay pa rin parang mga bata. Lumipas ang mga araw, nakatanggap ang ama ng tawag sa telepono mula sa doktor na nagsasabi ng maling impormasyon tungkol sa lung cancer at wala talagang masamang karamdaman ang ama. Hindi sinabi ng ama sa kanyang mga anak ang sitwasyon dahil alam niyang aalis na naman ang lahat kapag nalaman nila. Too bad nalaman din naman dahil nun mas lumala ang away, hindi pagkakaunawaan at miscommunications ngunit lahat ay nagkakaisa at naguugnayan sa huli.

 

                    Seeing their situation and story, its very complicated and frustrating. Sa tingin ko ito ay dahil mayroon silang kakulangan ng komunikasyon at selos kaya't patuloy silang nagkakaroon ng hindi pagkakaunawaan. Natutunan ko na kailangan nating laging makipag-usap sa ating mga mahal sa buhay o sa ibang tao para maiwasan ang hindi pagkakaunawaan at away. 

                     Inirerekomenda ko talaga to sa mga tao at pamilya na panoorin ang pelikulang ito dahil ito ay isang magandang pelikula na panoorin lalo na ito ay isang napakagandang kuwento. Ang panonood nito ay maaaring matuto ng isang bagay o dalawa at ang mga manonood ay maaaring magkaroon ng mindset na palaging makipag-usap sa pamilya.
