Prelim Exam

During our preliminary examinations all of us failed because we didn't read the instruction carefully. The instruction indicates " read the test paper". But all of us answer the question we got zero points for our prelim. Later, on that day, our teacher revealed that in our syllabus educational communication has no minor and major exams. We are all disappointed.

From that experience, I realized that "If you think too much you will end up with a big headache".
haha. But honestly, i didn't study my MDG lesson at that time, it's okey for me. hehe.

The 8 Millennium Development Goals

Red Ribbon

The Red Ribbon is a symbol for solidarity with HIV-positive people and those living with AIDS.

Comic Strip

In our DC 4 class we were task to draw a comic strip related to our choosen MDG. Me and my blockmates brought some drawing materials on that activity. I was having a hard time conceptualizing my story because this was my first time to make a comic strip. Until, i came up with the idea of a guy asking his friend how to use a condom but the comic strip that we were supose to make must be funny so i put some twist into it to catch the attention of the readers. After that, I start making my comic and draw unitl it's done.

The title of my comic is "Open and Blow". It's up to you guys on how you shaped the meaning of my title..;) If our teacher will return our comic strip i will post it for you to read guys.

Cont. Light Tent

This is an example of a light tent. I just get this picture from the net but we made the same as this. .

Light Tent

On this activity we gather some materials such as, miniature, box, Cartolina, 3pcs of light bulb and a white cloth. We cut the box, put the cartolina for background and after that we cover the box with the cloth and we put the light bulb both side. When me and my group mates finish doing it, we take pictures from our miniature inside the box and we come up with the nice picture. I think this is one of the techniques when we shoot a picture. After we take some photos. We make our own story out of the pictures we gather in the light tent related with the MDG's

From that moment, i feel like i am a Director and i love it ! We make our own story and script out of the photos we get the same as making a movie. My topic is all about HIV/Aids and i came up with story in titled " The Lying Lies" the story is all about the girl who almost get infected by the disease. When you watch my 3 minutes movie you will know how she escape from the serious disease. Hopefully, If our teacher will return our work i will post it for you to see.

World Aids Day Campaign

Last December 1, 2007, the second year students in Development Communication celebrated the Worlds Aids Day campaign at Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan). We are the first one who celebrated it in terms of advocacy. On that day, We wander around our campus and we stopped every corner to have some small talk and presentation about “what is aids?” and “How can it affect to your life”. Somehow in our own simple way we let them know how to minimize the spreading of the disease. We bring our plackcards and we give some brochures to the people and students who watch at the same time we put the red ribbon that symbolizes “Stop Aids” at the upper right side of their chest.

From that activity, I realize a lot of things. “A small group can make a big difference”. Aids is pandemic disease but not all people know about it. Aids can kill people irregardless on their age, gender and race. Staying away from aids doesn’t always mean the absence of sex it means having safe sex. Aids is real it is a serious disease that can kill. Stop aids.

This is some of our photos
