We are teenagers. We are in a stage where in we cannot make up our mind on our favorite songs, singers, celebs and movies.
Time and time again, this was our favorite song. We sing it all the time. And then their new single comes around and we forget
the last song. Movie legacies last longer. You guys watch the movie with your barkada (friends) with eagerness and excitement.
Then you exit the movie theater either satisfied, overwhelmed or disappointed. But, heck you can say, "I watched the cheesiest
movie of the season."
Speaking of season, the ever-living, never-dying telenovelas are either baduuuy(cheap!) or praised. And American sitcoms and soaps
are also talks of the town. Of course, who can forget reality TV shows? Survivor, Amazing Race and more of those kinds. Celebs
from different age groups, ranging from the 40++ to the teen stages when the content of every girl in the class. Books to film were
an alternative to this. If there are movies and songs and TV shows, who can forget Channels??? From the cable-ready people to the
local listings....hhhuuuhhhh.....
Here are some of the media we've embraced during the 10 months of the school year.
A Walk to Remember starring Mandy Moore and Shane West

daughter of a pastor and really passionate on finishing a play. Landon got himself into trouble and was forced to join the play.

The second in the Harry Potter series, it brings us back into the Hogwarts school for more witchcraft, wizardry and trouble. Rumours
say there is a secret chamber built under the school waiting for the coming of the Heir of Slytherin. Attacks on students with non-magic

Hogwarts from closing.

The Ring (Hollywood) starring Naomi Watts
A strange video circulated with a rumour. Watch it and within seven days... YOU'LL DIE. A woman named Samara (Sadako in Japanese)
lived in well for 30 years. She comes out of that well... closer to the TV screen... closer and closer.... then SHE COMES OUT OF
THE TV SET!!!! This is a Hollywood adaptation of the original Japanese horror film, The Ring. Prequel The Ring0 and sequel The Ring2.
