# 5 Ming Ming

   As I entered MSU-IIT's Mini theatre on the night of July 24, I noticed four people frozen onstage. I then took a comfortable seat right in front not even curious on what they are about to do. I whistled impatiently, unaware of the mystical story of three generations to be unraveled before me.

   A play directed by Steven Patrick C. Fernandez, Ming Ming is a story of an eighteen-year-old girl watching the story of her life appearing before her as she was brought to the living world by the tonongs (Spirits). She then realizes why her mother, R, marries an older man to support their family’s dwindling political fortunes and then remarries a distant relative to hide the truth of her birth as she was an accident baby with her mother’s Economics Professor.

   The grandmother, I, on the other hand deluded all about Ming Ming's story to save maratabat (family honor, a shame greater than death) and her only daughter's life. When she was at the age of fourteen, she deserted her love to respect the family's impositions and married the elder brother of her secret love P to end a bloody rido. This decision angered P and turned him into a rebel.

   In the end, Ming Ming's death was known to be suicidal.

   All in all, the play was astounding. I have not thought of a drama play be that good. The flow of emotions from the actors completely blew me from my seat. Truly a great showcase of talent!

#8 Effects of Media in Me

Media has been part of our lives ever since we were born. It seems to be everywhere. There are different types of media. Media is also somewhat 'directly proportional' to modern technology. Because of modern technology, media seems to 'evolve'. Media has been very useful to us humans. One of the useful things because of media is that we can communicate each other through media. It also made us aware of the things happening around us. But despite of the 'advantages' of media in the society , it also have its 'side-effects'. People tend to abuse media and use it to do bad things to other people. They use media as 'accessories' to cheat or fool other people for their own good.

Yes, media made me very accustomed to the things around me. It helped me cultivate myself to my environment. But it also made me dependent to technology. I sometimes used computer a lot that make me realized that I was unable to eat a meal. It helped me a lot but it also, in some ways, ruined me.
