Political Ads (REACTION BLOG)

I think the electoral advertisements of our presidential candidates are all made up or run by one and the same group of people. it's because political advertisements being broadcast and published now are all basically expressing the same things, the same thoughts. There’s really not much difference among these advertisements. In my observation, here are some of the most glaring similarities insofar as TV ads are concerned:

1. The ads communicate the message that their candidate is a savior of some sort

2. Visual elements are mostly the same — candidates mingling with ordinary people, distraught people, poor people, etc,

3. The ads highlight at least one all-encompassing promise

4. The ads end with a cheesy slogan

5. The ads are backed by a catchy song

As I know the time allotted for political ads would run only 30 sec to 1 min only. But some of these ads are not following such limitations.

The most expensive campaign listed was last year. A politician who was running for a senator spent millions of pesos in dealing with his ads. Today’s politicians running in any positions are willing to spend as much as they could just to attain their desired positions. Why do they spend too much in dealing with these ads when they know that politics is too risky? And what if they lose? Is this just a sort of investment with too much of a capital and when given the opportunity to be set on a position they would reclaim their spent fund and then double its amount? Well in this case our country would surely fall its lower level.

I’m only 17 and still can’t vote. But when time comes, I will surely not buy their ads. Most of these political ads are just lies and only made to attract people. The most effective thing to do probably is to have them background checked.

The “Warcraft” universe features an epic conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. The game has developed a global following since its launch in 1994 and shows no signs of slowing. Its most recent expansion, “Wrath of the Lich King,” sold more than 2.8 million copies in the first day of release and more than 4 million its first month.

I played WOW for since 3rd year high school up until now. The game actually ranked one in the east. Thought it’s not that famous here in the Philippines but as listed by blizzard (the game producer) they had more or less 15 million registered player already, excluding the players on private servers (I play only on private servers). Private servers anyway are servers that were edited already by some game experts and are not part of blizzard anymore but the way it is to play is still the same. There are fewer players though but it’s played free unlike in retail (the official server) you have to pay more or less 900 pesos monthly enable for your account to be activated. And I can’t afford such amount so I decided to play on private server.

By the way the Blizzard inc. is planning to produce a movie about the game and I am supahh excited about it..

However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...

Mysterious Circles

Mysterious circles (these are crop circles to be more specific) are the most fascinating yet mysterious type of art. Crop circles are patterns appearing in fields, created when areas of the crops are tamped down, while others remain intact. Even though the stalks are bent, they’re undamaged. Some designs are simple while others are highly elaborate. Is this made by man, earth energy, wind or aliens probably? Well who knows? Still the complete truth is still a mystery.

Some of the farmers explained mysterious circles as symbols made by UFO’s, which represents or that has something to express, to give a message. These circles are made in an overnight process and for that, this makes it more enigmatic. How can you create such huge-perfect circles overnight without seeing any footprints on it? Perhaps a mystery. Well I don’t buy some of these alien concepts. But circles that were made somewhere in 15’s would probably amaze everybody.

Others see at as an art of human. Actually it can be made by man. National Geographic contacted circlemakers John Lundberg, Rod Dickinson and Wil Russell in 2004 requesting a daylight demonstration in Wiltshire for a documentary. And the making of it end up this gigantic yet amazing symbol. (The process was aided by a tractor)



These circles man made or not would still remain as a great mystery.

The JABBAWOCKEEZ

The world’s best dance crew the jabbawockeez is comprised of Jeff “Phi” Nguyen, Ben “B-Tek” Chung, Kevin “Keibee” Brewer, Chris “Cristyle” Gatdula, Rynan “Kid Rainen” Paguio, Phil “Swaggerboy” Tayag, and Joe “Emajoenation”.

The jabbawockeez is known for their extra ordinary, terrific and gripping style in dancing, or whatever you call it! They had the most unique way of dancing, they dance filling each beat of the music no wonder why they became the world’s best dance crew.

Some of the dance crews in some dance contests used to imitate or mimic their dancing style. What are they thinking? They’ll get famous of doing such things? They may perfectly perform their steps but the fact that they had imitated it won’t let them succeed. Succession by imitation sounds ungrateful.

The jabbawockeez anyway had signed a contract on ABS-CBN and they will be seen at “ASAP” every Sunday. They have daily scenes in “banana split” as well. One of their members said “We’re planning to stay here for as long as you want us to be here. Why not the Philippines? There’s a lot to love here,”.

The jabbawockeez somehow took a big role in today’s dance screws. By not letting them mimicking moves but to stimulate them in the sense that they can succeed when they have this thought of succeeding in their own ways.

An Abstract Art

In its purest form in Western art, an abstract art is an art which does not have a recognizable subject, an art that doesn't relate to anything external or try to "look like something". I find it hard to understand an abstract art, though the mixtures of colors and shapes attracts me in an unexplainable way.

Also abstract art are figurative abstractions and paintings which can represent things that are none visual, such as emotions, sound, or maybe spiritual experiences.

If then I'll be asked to define or picture out an abstract art, I'd rather say you'd better ask the one who painted it. The picture above would be an example how complicated an abstract art is.

Blogging

Jeez..It took me almost 3 days dealing with this blogging activity. Still, I can't think of a topic that would fit my interest. :S
