Whenever school gets stressful, I play Taylor Swift’s song “Shake It Off” to lift my mood. The line “’Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play” is an intertextual reminder to stay confident and ignore negativity. It always reminds me that I can’t control others, but I can control how I respond. Listening to music helps me relax and focus better on my studies. I even found an article on UMGC https://www.umgc.edu/blog/how-music-can-help-you-study that explains how music reduces stress and boosts concentration. This proves that songs can inspire both emotional balance and academic focus. For me, music isn’t just background noise—it’s my daily source of motivation. You can play her songs in spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/5xTtaWoae3wi06K5WfVUUH

The Notebook is simple yet has a powerful message— that love is not just about feelings, but about commitment and choice, because even when things get hard, Allie and Noah keep on choosing each other again and again, and this idea reminds me of the quote, “Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope,” by Maya Angelou. The movie also explores the bittersweet side of the love story, where Noah writes Allie every day for a year, which is beautiful yet heartbreaking, showing that his love for her is patient and willing to wait. Overall, the film is not just a romantic film but a story about the power of enduring love, and whether you're a hopeless romantic or not, this movie will definitely make you sob.

Despite the constant bashing of Leni Robredo and her supporters, known as Kakampinks, she continues to serve with quiet strength and dedication. Now back as a private citizen and leading the Angat Buhay Foundation (https://www.angatbuhay.ph/), Robredo proves that leadership doesn’t end with a title. Even when she was Vice President, many overlooked her efforts, yet she quietly launched programs in education, health, and disaster response. Now, as she continues her advocacy in Naga and beyond, Robredo shows that true public service is not about power—it’s about purpose. Her story reminds us that hope doesn’t fade; it finds new ways to shine.

Lebron might be not the GOAT for everyone, he might have many bashers, he might have weaknesses but for me he is the greatest player who entered in a basktetball league and no one ever can change my mind. You might be discourage but passion keeps your flame still alive but without a purpose, your passion might be burden.

The Titanic movie is one of the most unforgettable movies I’ve ever watched. The line “I’ll never let go” is an intertext that really touched my heart because it shows true love and loyalty. Even though Jack and Rose came from different worlds, they showed that love has no boundaries. The movie taught me that sometimes, real love means sacrifice and letting go when you have to. I also realized how short life can be, so we should spend it with the people we love most. The scene of the ship sinking made me emotional because it shows how unpredictable life is. Whenever I want to read more about the film and its history, I visit https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/

Titanic isn’t just a love story; it’s a reminder that some people leave, but their love stays forever.

One of the most visually stunning and emotionally moving films I have watched is The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh. The story follows a young girl named Alexandria and a stuntman who is bedridden in a 1920s Los Angeles hospital. As he recovers, he tells her a detailed fantasy story that reflects his own emotional pain. The film connects to One Thousand and One Nights because, like Scheherazade, the stuntman uses storytelling to cope with suffering. It also reminds me of Pan’s Labyrinth and Life of Pi, where imagination helps characters survive trauma. This idea is supported by a [Psychology Today article titled "The Healing Power of Storytelling"](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/un-numb/202312/the-healing-power-of-storytelling), which explains how stories help people process emotional wounds and find meaning. Because of this, I see The Fall as more than a visually beautiful film; it is a powerful reminder that stories can bring healing and hope.

I never planned to make new friends, especially this school year. But the flow of life is out of our control, and it always has some surprises. What started as simple group work, random conversations, and casual hangouts turned into genuine friendship I never know coming. It reminds me of the quote "It’s strange how we find the best of friends in the most unexpected people.” - Aly Hunter. That quote made me realize how real friends show care in small but meaningful ways. I also read article on Medium (https://medium.com/@amrutha.balachandran/the-unexpected-friendship-c58659b63293)

that unexpected friendships are effortless, genuine connections built on comfort, understanding, and the feeling of being accepted without judgment. I'm very thankful that they entered my life unexpectedly.

Everyone experiences moments of strength and moments of struggle. Sometimes, we try so hard to fix ourselves or hide the parts of us that feel weak, thinking we have to be okay all the time. But the truth is, we all carry both light and dark inside us. One of my favorite quote from Sirius Black in Harry Potter that really stuck with me, "We all got both light and dark inside us." It reminds me that it's natural to have good and bad feelings inside, and that both are naturally part of who we are. Another quote that means a lot to me is, "The ones that love us never really leave us." Even though someone we love is gone, their love stays with us and comfort us in ways we might not always see. When life feels overwhelmed or exhausted, I feel comfort in re-watching that movie over and over. But beside watching that movies, I find another source of comfort for me is reading personal stories on apps like medium. These stories are honest and relatable. They show that other people struggle too, and they don't have all the answers either. Reading how others overcome their challenges, step by step, reminds me that it's okay not to be okay sometimes, and that healing is a journey. One article I read really hits me. It talked about always telling others to be strong, until realizing that admitting weakness is okay too. This article helped me to understand that vulnerability is not weakness it's part of healing and growing. It encouraged me to be kinder to myself and accept my whole self. So, if you're struggling today know that it's okay. You are not alone. Embrace all of you, bacause that's where true strength begins.

The movie Magnifico is inspiring because of the kindness traits shown by the main character who named Magnifico. I admire how Magnifico helps others without expecting anything in return, showing that kindness knows no boundaries. One of the most heartbreaking scenes was when he built a coffin for his grandmother, not to prepare for her death, but to lessen the problem of his family about money. However, in a plot twist, he was the one who died and used the coffin that he built. Despite of his short life, Magnifico proved that true kindness is not measured by years but by the love and kindness that

we share. As his grandmother once said, "Your smile will bring us closer to heaven.” If you want to watch and explore the movie you can watch it on YouTube. https://youtu.be/082OYr-N8l0?si=Io0yFU-ythze_vLp

The production captured Juan Luna’s brilliance and flaws, showing that even heroes are human. As I watched, I was reminded of Jose Rizal’s timeless words, “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan,” which reflected the youthful drive for change that the play celebrated. That line became an intertextual reference connecting the sarsuela’s message with Rizal’s enduring vision for the Filipino spirit. I also read an article from https://yjmbpennyforyourthoughts.wordpress.com/2024/08/23/new-musical-juan-luna-isang-sarsuela-promises-a-vivid-portrayal-of-18th-century-life/ discussing how the musical portrays Luna not only as a national hero but also as a complex, emotional man, something that deepened my appreciation for the show’s storytelling.

Watching Juan Luna: Isang Sarsuela reminded me that art has the power to connect generations and keep our history alive. It showed me that creativity, when rooted in truth, can make us reflect on who we are as Filipinos and who we can still become.

High school is a mixed feelings for me. I started high school during during the time of pandemic. For 2 years, we used online learning to study and then returned to face-to-face classes as part of the new normal. At first, I was happy but I didn't realize there would be such a big change in high school especially with the people and the environment. I had a mixed emotions but I managed it because I knew it was part of growing up. And years had passed, it's my last year in high school. I am now a graduating student.

As a Grade 12 student, one of the things that I am focusing on is preparing for college. The truth is I am scared because college is a big deal, it's like your whole career depends on it. But I believe in the saying "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams", which reminds us the importance of believing in oneself. This line is a type of intertextual reference because it expresses positive quote about our future. It emphasizes having a beautiful mindset about ourselves.

There was a time when days felt heavy and lonely—when you had problems but no shoulder to cry on, when birthdays didn’t feel special at all. It was just another normal day for me: no cake, no greetings, and no one to celebrate with. But everything changed when he came into my life. The say he came into came I started to like girly things, pink, and soft moments, I cry even in small arguments, and for the first time, I didn’t feel like I was on my own anymore. The song "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez reminds me of that feeling—finally being loved, seen, and cherished. Like the line he said, “I would never fall in love again until I found her,” and that became my intertext because it reflects the love I waited for.

Before, I felt like I was invisible and alone—but now, when I have problems, I know he's there. Every day and every birthday becomes special because of him. Now, I know that I matter to someone. I also read something that explained how love and emotional support affect us, and it helped me understand my feelings better. Here is the article that became my hypertext:

Love didn’t just show up in my life—it gave meaning to the days that used to feel empty.

Fun fact: chess has been proven to make you lose weight especially for the professional players, being plunged in intense and prolonged stress can actually burn calories (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/22/chess-grandmasters-lose-weight-burn-calories-during-games.html).

Speaking of chess, my favorite player is Hikaru Nakamura, five-time U.S champion chess champion and currently the world's No. 2 chess player with the rating of 2816 (https://ratings.fide.com/profile/2016192) right behind the arguably the GOAT of chess Magnus Carlsen— Sauron according to Nakamura.

I, myself have played the game for some time now and had attained a proper knowledge in the game and my favorite mode is bullet — a one minute chess game, it's a fast paced game tailored just into my liking. My losses far exceeds my wins in the game but I believe in the words of Sun Tzu "Act weak when you are strong" LOL.

When life gets hard don't overcomplicate things just "castle".

The movie Requiem for a Dream opened my eyes about how addiction can destroy a person’s dreams and relationships. It’s sad but a powerful film that shows how people chase happiness in the wrong ways. The scene that really shattered my heart into pieces was when Sara said, “I just wanted to be on the show.” That line hit me so hard because it shows how badly she wanted to feel seen and important, even if it cost her everything. It made me think how social pressure and loneliness can push people to dangerous choices. I use this page https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0180093/

often so I could learn more about the film’s story and the actors who played the roles. After watching it, I realized that chasing happiness in the wrong way can destroy the very dream we’re trying to reach.

Love is not always easy, especially when dreams and goals get in the way. The movie entitled "An Inconvenient Love" shows how Ayef and Manny try to balance their personal dreams with their love for each other. It reminds me of the line from "The Fault in Our Stars" “The world is not a wish-granting factory.” This quote fits perfectly because love does not always go the way we want, it takes effort, time, and sacrifice. As a student, I can relate to Ayef because sometimes school, family, and personal dreams make it hard to give time to people we care about. But like in the movie, real love means supporting each other even when life gets busy. In the end, love becomes worth the inconvenience when both people choose to stay and grow together.

So she stopped. Not out of pride, but out of peace.

It's strange, how silence can feel loud when you're used to being the one who always reaches out first. She used to be that girl - typing long messages no one really read, trying to fix things no one wanted to fix, filling in all the empty spaces with words just to keep things from falling apart. But after a while, she realized: if she's the only one holding things together, then maybe it's not worth keeping at all.

Silence taught her something no voice ever could - that not every battle is worth the bruises, not every person is worth the effort, and not every version of her needs to be explained. Sometimes, walking away without a single word says more than all the apologies in the world. And choosing not to react? That's a response in itself

Now, she finds comfort in quiet. In soft mornings where no one demands anything from her. In moments where she can hear her own heartbeat without background noise. She used to be afraid of silence, scared it meant distance, detachment, endings. But now she sees it differently. Silence doesn't always mean absence. Sometimes it means protection. Sometimes it means healing.

As you learn to hold yourself with more self-compassion and forgiveness, you can view mistakes as a step toward a better and more meaningful life. For better or worse, there is often no better way to move forward in our lives.

discussing how music can boost our mood and reduce stress, which perfectly supports how I feel whenever I listen to this song. That’s an example of hypertext, since the link takes readers to another page with more information. Music like Taylor Swift’s doesn’t just fill the silence—it helps me find courage to take that leap, and trust that I’ll land where I’m meant to be.

I once wondered how people are susceptible to committing crime or harmful acts despite the altruistic behaviour were supposed to be innately inhabit. On 1974, an American social psychologist came up with a question of, "Is Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were only obeying orders?"; similarly in thought of whether it is due to commands from higher authority that humanity resort to harm. With this thought, he conducted the "Milgram Experiment" to observe how a low status individual reacts and perform under commands and pressure which aims to measure how far participants would go in obeying instructions from an authority figure.

The experiment consists of three individuals: the experimenter and the student which are both confederates, and the teacher (the participant). In which the teacher is handed a set of questions together with the experimenter in the same room, they can communicate but not able to see the student in the neighboring room. The teacher asks the questions to the student and is commanded by the experimenter to activate the electric shock at an increasing voltage level each time the student makes mistakes, but the catch is, it was all staged and according to Milgram Shock Experiment, various events are conducted prior to the experiment to induce belief to the participant's mind. Recorded sounds and staged acts are produced to cause immense pressure to instigate obedience, which in result, all participants raise the voltage to 300 while 65% raised it to the death inducing 450V, proving that most of humanity's decisions, including those heinous ones are merely as foolish as a puppet to its master.

I've always been a quiet kid. My older siblings were everything a parent could hope for; smart and admired. My mother, determined to raise me in their image, became my first teacher. She drilled me with lessons long before pre-school, expecting me to mirror their brilliance. Unlike other children who were happily playing outside, I still remember sitting at the table with my tiny hand struggling to grip a pencil. "Ang pangit ng sulat mo," she would say with a voice sharp enough to sting. At an age when I should have been carefree, I learned instead to measure my worth in perfect penmanship and silent obedience.

My voice longed for its place as the words I kept locked inside my head began to desperately knock for release. So I picked up a pencil again, not to perfect my handwriting but to pour my thoughts onto a blank page. From an article I saw from Medium, I realized that writing was not simply an escape, it was an act of claiming my own existence. I filled the blank pages with characters who could say the things I couldn't, who could make choices I was too afraid to make. Within books I made, I somehow pieced together stories I might one day be brave enough to live as my own.

As Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Her words served as an intertextual reference which resonates with the struggle of facing the overwhelming need to express oneself. For so long, I had kept my voice buried, hidden behind the weight of expectations and silence. But whenever I write, my untold story finally gets a chance to breathe.

2017 "The Shack" is one of the greatest movie I've ever seen, if not the best. It is so simple and complex at the same time that I can't describe how I feel watching it. It was 6 years ago when I first saw the movie and the scene where mack asked "after everything I felt in my heart towards you, why would you keep working on me?" And then Papa (a woman is actually playing the representation of God for a good amount of time in the movie) replied: "Because that's what Love does". That line is actually what you call an intertextual reference or a quote, but more importantly, that line hit me hard! Something in my heart is planted after hearing those lines. It would be my greatest pleasure to recommend this movie because it laid the foundation of my faith! Actually, here is a link that would take you directly to a YouTube video with the full movie of The shack: https://youtu.be/vwbPTn75DVg?si=pMX4h4Gb4apA9PsI
