Serve Fruits, Be Healthy

Image
Image by silviarita from Pixabay             Should fresh fruits be sold in school canteens? I think school canteens should introduce fresh fruits to students. Since most school canteens don’t serve any, it is only time to start introducing fruits. Not only because fruits can provide vital nutrients, but are also healthier than junk foods that are prevalent in the counter. Students usually miss the daily recommended fruit intake. Serving fresh fruits will add up to the students’ meal , hence it will help to add more revenue to the school canteen.             One of the key reasons why fresh fruits should be sold in school canteens is that fruits provide vital nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are only some of the nutrients that we could get from eating fruits. Students need these essentials to help maintain a healthy body condition. It is a fact that fruits are goo...

Bro and Foe

I’d claim that you know us, Trio. If not, I would guess you’ve seen us three. No? You can read  Serendipity (Memento #Trio) to have a background first on what I’m going to talk about here now. I’m going to talk about them, again – after a long time. Though I think my memento was the only time I talked about them after all, at least here in my blog (explicitly and unapologetically). College is where you meet new people and try to keep the old ones. Especially in our case, we were totally apart from one another. I went to a state university, Ryan entered a private one, while JD opted to take the opportunity to study abroad. It’s been a year already; we are not freshmen anymore. We already had a taste of what it’s like, or so we thought. (For the record, I think this blog won’t be as explicit and unapologetic like Serendipity, assuming that it is. I just really wanted to share something – some things about us. To put it more bluntly, things about me or about the things I ...

Breaking the Gold: The Golden Years of Philippine Cinema

Image by PublicDomainPictures from Pixabay Introduction – The Perceived Notion of Golden Times. The age of cinema as a form of art and industry is relatively young as compared to other forms. In the Philippine context, the history of cinema has just only reached its centennial year with the beginnings from 1917 when Malayan Movies, a film company founded by Jose Nepomuceno and his brother Jesus, was established, to 1919 when the first Filipino feature film was produced – Dalagang Bukid (Country Maiden), produced by the same company. In spite of having a comprehensive history of Philippine cinema yet to be written, the industry has proven to develop and mature with regards to filmmaking style, form, and content for it to have the so-called ‘golden age’. Such Golden Age is ostensibly characterized by great progress, or as Cambridge dictionary defines it, “a period of time, sometimes imaginary, when everyone was happy, or when a particular art, business, etc. was very successful...
