When September Ends
That Week Long Ago
The Humanities Week, I mean. Linggo ng Humanidades. So we won, actually just got 2nd place, in both the Filipino and English contests. If there's one thing that made us win those contests, it would be the Unity of Rosal. Ya right.
The rest of the week? Mostly boring. Everyone was looking forward to the contests, the center of attention of the week.
Tianxiaverse Project
So here we have a major project in Social Studies spearheaded by the all-powerful Ahura Martin (for those who don't know his highness, it's Sir Martin Perez). In the first phase of the massive effort, we're given seven storylines, with four chapters each, based on different regions of Asia. We pick one storyline and a specific chapter, and then we either write our own story for the given title or draw the characters that should appear in that story. Of course I'd write. When Ahura Martin gave out the storylines, only the first two interested me: A Storm In The Desert, the story of Muhammad and the beginnings of the Islamic Empire, and the Land Between Two Rivers, all about Mesopotamia. It turned out that those two topics were the least worked on by the six sections. Oh well. If you've read such novels as The Sum of All Fears and The Last Jihad, you'd know.
Updates On The Local Scene
Sponge Cola has just released their sophomore album, Transit, with its already popular new single Bitiw. Hale is about to follow up (actually, today) with their own sophomore album, Twilight, with the single Waltz. Later on, mid-October, Rivermaya will launch their own new album. Already they have released the video of their new single Isang Bandila.
