reaction paper: Bombo Radyo
Bombo radyo was well known radio station. Almost nation wide because of it’s uniqueness, which is the sound of drum.It is also known not just for their news but also their entertainment, preferably drama.
As a part of our Dev Com 11(laboratory) subject we went to Bombo Radyo Baguio. It was located at Lourdes Dominican, Baguio City. We came there last October 03, to visit and observe the said station.
As we enter the radio station of bombo, I’m full of excitement and nervous as well. Mr. Jhun Queroz was the technical on board of bombo, he was the one who welcome us in the master Control room. He showed us how was the sequence of the news and how he cut and connect every scene with the commercial and music. In that room,I’ve seen radio tape recorder and telephones. They said that, when one of their co- workers was on phone or just recorded their report, its easy for them because there’s a machine to process it to be on air. In the right side of master control room is where the anchor men’s booth. Between this room was made up of glass where they can sign with each other if there is an important or need to announce.
it was four o’clock then, when we went to the drama production. Mr. Jimmy Garbin was the one programing the record in drama production. I was shocked when Mang Bianong was already talking, he was old but his voice was really powerful. Every words he spoke was full of expressions. Then were all amazed when all the dramatist was doing their part, they’re really good in shifting their voice. Just like Theresa Calay , she can spoke as an old lady or a young lady. Isagani Buliser , his voice was smooth and he can shift his voice in an old men and even the voice of a small boy. In that kind of work, you must have or know how to shift your voice. What’s good in radio is, there is no need for them to hire an old woman or a little girl, so, less labor.
In drama section, it was well organized. It’s easy for them to look for the materials they needed. They are really resourceful on using their improvise materials. They have mini door with stairs, bottle, telephones and others. Just like footstep of a horse, they used the hard cover of coconut to make sounds effects. I thought at first, the one who is talking is also the one who is doing the the sound effects but it is not, Just like what we’ve saw, while the other dramatist is talking someone is walking for the footstep effect.
I’ve seen how their script look like, every page has name with number. What’s good in here, if someone is doing important thing, they just leave it and continue for the next scene and go back again if she/he is already ready. Moreover, they record their drama series in advance, what we’ve hear that time will be on air next month. They also record three times a week (MWF), morning, afternoon and also have an overtime schedule(huh!).
As a Dev com student, that’s a great experience on our part because we’ve seen how this prestigious radio station run on. In addition, a great exposure to us,since, we will be involving with that kind of environment.
God’s Image
Sometimes, problems come at the same time. The more you rushed things and almost losing hope the more problems we are facing. More over, when we have already successfully solved one problem another test will appear. Life would be no sense if there is no trials, problems, obstacles and test coming in our way.
God is so clever. He always test how we can handle things. To be strong enough and how to face tough responsibilities. And to see how faithful we are. God will not give that kind of problem if we can’t do it, he just want to test our limitations and we must also know it.
Most of us if we’re on the top or almost blind because of money, we forgotten to say thank you to him. But the worst thing is to forget him and our money would be our god. That’s why most of us are not satisfy on what we have. We try to destroy others for their own good. Forget where we came from and those who helped us. We become selfish, we hide what we have and try to pull others not to reach what we have now. Until there comes a time that all of our beloved treasures will disappear because of bad things.
In contrast, if we faced obstacles that’s the only time where we remember God. Where we pay and confess our sins. Sometimes we blame him for being down. How sad to say that we haven’t pass in the exam that God had given to us. We become weak and we let Satan rule us. Look at what world we have now, full of crimes, hatred and selfishness. Everywhere you go is not safe. How much more for the next generation? I assumed that the gap between rich and poor would become wider and all humans will pay for their sins and all the things that God predicted will come true.
Before that will happen, lets make difference to lead others. Let thee image of God be reflected on us. Let us start confessing our sins and help others to see the brighter side of this world.
Performance!!- To the highest level
It’s hard to come up with a one idea, if your in a group. There are many possibilities because you have different opinions. But there must be cooperation to do a task successfully.
It was very shocking when they assigned to us- “irregular students”, the commercial for second years on celebrating dev.Com day. We had our meeting and try to think the best commercial that we are going to perform. To prove that we are worth to be a De.Com students and not just seeing us as an irregular students. But it’s not as easy as we thought .What we do to have a concise result was, we try to to suggest what we want and vote for the best one.
We end-up with the combination of three popular commercial and add some jolly acts. Our introduction was a parental guidance, where in we act the nation paint commercial and dance the “Mr. Swabe”, and “di ako Bakla” hit songs. With the group dance, it was really funny, because we performed the “Sumusunod sa Galaw mo”-shampoo commercial with mustache. We don’t have time to remove it when we act as a cowboy in r. swabe dance. That was my unforgettable performance.
Even though it’s very weird to wear cowboy’s costume and it’s itchy to draw artificial mustache we do our best to the highest level
It was so overwhelmed when many appreciated what we have done. Some said that our performance was really entertaining and we have done it succesfully with our graceful movement.
Consequences
In everything we do there are bad and good effects. But mostly, we try to think the nice and best ones.
When I shifted to Development Communication, I thought I could easily adjust myself. During the enrollment, I have to fix my own schedule. I need to go to every college to see if the subject that I will take is available. I will also be the one to choose who will be my classmates and instructors. But adding subject is not easy, I must get first an adding form and pay for it. Talked to the instructor, because sometimes they’re already full and I need his/her approval.
What I hate is, during first classes, because Its just like your an alien, who don’t know what place you were. It’s really hard to meet new faces and make friends with them. Sometimes, someone was calling my name and I asked myself “do I know you?”, unfortunately, he was my classmate in one subject. That’s one reason why I don’t have permanent friends and always walking and working alone. Similarly, the terrible thing is when some instructor will be giving a remedial class or meeting and during that time I also have a subject. So, I must be close with my classmates and instructor and have contact with them. But sometimes, they almost forgotten me.
In contast, I’m so proud to be a dev.com. students, seeing how bright and gifted my classmates are. Even though it’s hard for me to be like them. I’m not really good in english and I’m nervous when speaking in front of so many people.That’s why everytime they were my classmates, I want to back out but I keep in mind that this is a great challenge that I must pursue. To develop more my skills and talents and to build the characteristics of a dev.Com students in me.
Which is Which?
No one can predict the future. We differ in making plans and decisions. Its all in our hand if we want to make our goal come true.
Our graduation is already near but I haven’t yet decided what will be my course. I keep asking my mom, what she want me to become. She just answer me ,”its up to you”,but deep inside I know that my mom want me to become a nurse. I’m trying to balance everything, my strengths and weaknesses, what my mom want me to be and my NCAE result.
When I got my NCAE, I was good in office works. So, when I take up the exam at Saint Luise University (SLU), I choose social worker. Luckily, I passed the exam. In contrast, I didn’t prefer SLU because I know that my parents can’t afford the tuition fee, even though they want me to study there.
On the other hand, I take the entrance exam at Beguet State university(BSU). My first choice was nursing. I was so disappointed when my name didn’t appear in the list of nursing student who passed. But I didn’t lose hope, I just thought that “I don’t belong there!, maybe God had a better plan for me”. I pursue my second choice which is Veterinary Medicine because I also love animals.For almost one semester that I stayed in college of Veterinary Medicine, I feel bored. But I could say that the people there was very nice to me and they are easy to get with. I was thinking the years that will take me to finish my course and also my younger sister because are gap is two years and it’s hard for our parents to send as to school.
I planned to shift even though I know that its hard to be an irregular student. I talked to the dean of Education and she said that “there is no more slut, maybe you may try it next year”. That was the time when I feel so down and I don’t know what to do next. I already said to my parents that I will shift. Then I try to think over and over again. I don’t know what comes in my mind when I turn to Development Communication. At last, they accepted me. My shifting form was already filed when I told to my mom that I shifted to Development Communication because the college of Education was already full. I saw disappointment in the reaction of my mom. Now I don’t know what will be my life.
With this experience, I learned that in every decision we made, we must think hundred times, so that we will not regret in the end.
“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME”
After I graduated in high school, I prefer to stay in my grandmother house. It’s summer vacation when I apply at City Hall. I’m so lucky because I’m one of the SPES(Special Program for Employment of Students) grantee. I was assigned at City Treasurer’s Office. At least we were eight SPES grantee there. Our job was tax mapping, we were by partner, where in, one regular and one SPES grantee. WE tax mapped the whole Barangay of Irisan. It was enjoyable and I can’t forget our bonding. They’ve been nice to us, it’s just like we were all at the same level. It was our last day of working when they bought foods and spend the whole day of chatting.
On the other hand, my stay in grandma house was a great adjustment. I need to fixed all my things in there proper places, wake up early in the morning, knew my limitations, help in cleaning the house and adjust myself in the attitude of my aunts and uncles.
I have four aunts, the two are working, the one is at home and the other one is studying , like me at Beguet State University. I have also thre uncles and my grandma. My aunt, the one who is working, shared her room with me. She’s the only one whom I’m close with.
When I enter college, it was nice because I have my aunt who is also studying there. After my class I go home straight. I helped at home, preparing for our dinner and washing dishes. Sometimes I can’t concentrate studying because my aunt want that the radio was on. When I will go to our sala, it’s quite noisy because they’re watching T.V. They have consideration but sometimes I can’t do what I want. I always thinking when I’m on my parents. I could review well, I can turn off the T.V. eventhough my younger sister and brothers are watching and I can review until midnight. But in grandma house, I must be the one to have consideration.
There was time when I’m not feeling well, I’m the one who buy my medicine, I take care of my own self and even do the task they told me to do. Everytime I don’t feel good, I try to go home and have myself take a rest and chat with my mom. Oh! I always thought “there’s no place like home”.
For almost one year and four months, that I stayed at grandma house, I saw how was really their life is . Their daily routine and their habit. In contast, I spent most of my time in my studies and in grandma house. That’s why I almost forgotten to spend time to my original family. When I go home, it’s just like a normal world to them, that I’m far. I don’t even regularly ask how was them. Now that my mom is not feeling well and I almost losing my younger sister and brother’s attention, I’m planning to go back home.
What We Dream of!
Writing is one way of expressing our thoughts and feelings. Through writing we become honest and creative. It is an enjoyable activity, if it became part of our life. But how can we find the perfect place to become a productive writer?
I’m always imagining the best place where I can write poems, articles, lyrics, and stories. When I’m writing. I prefer to be alone because I can’t express well what I want if somebody is round me. I like to be in perfect place. While I’m writing , I’m under a big tree,where I cam breath fresh air , I can hear the sounds of different animals, mostly the singing birds. I can hear and feel the splash of water and air. I can smell the scents of flowers surrounding me. When I look up, I want to see the color of the sky and the shining sun, saying ” there’s another day! ” and t my side are mountains, beautifully formed. If I could be in this paradise, I could express well my thoughts and feelings. My heart and eyes are wildly open to appreciate Go hd given to us. My mind would be peaceful, no worries an problems that brought by what we call life. I’ll bring with me my pencil, ink pen, ppers and colors. When I’m finally done with my writing, I’ll let my pencil and color top anc on it and draw anything that symbolizes what i wrote. sometimes I expect that someone will appreciate what I write and I hope that I could give it to a very special person in my life. That’s the only time I fell fulfilled.
How wild my imagination is! but lets go back to the real life situation. When I don’t have things to do, most of the time the whole afternoon of Saturday, I prefer to stay in my room and write anything I want. That’s why I love Saturday. I’ll bring out all my things, arrange it in proper manner and throw those I don’t need anymore. I want all my things are fixed first, so that I will know where I can get the things I need. When I’m on my cage, I fell relax and comfortable.It’s just like , I’m the only person at home. When I start to write, I try to imagined the perfect place I dream of. While I’m surrounded by my pillows, blanket, notebooks an pens. Sometimes, I’m eating crackers or chocolates because I can think more if I have something to eat . I listen to my favorite fm station , which is k-lite but sometimes if I can’t concentrate I’ll tune it on country. Music turns me lively to write more, without it I’ll just feel sleepy. If I cant think topics to write, I will lay on my bed and let my imagination run. On the other hand, I will draw anything and I’ll try to explain it on words. For the whole afternoon, I expect that I could write one poem, article or story. When I finally done, what I always do is read it again and again. I’ll find mistakes and add if I missed something. Then I will compare it to my previous writing if there is improvement. Seeing my work well done, I appreciate and reward myself
