Hello everyone and welcome to the 2nd entry of my blog! Just to today I checked on the NBA results and saw that LeBron actually beat Boston! Woo... That shocked me. I didn't expect it. Tomorrow I'll go to school to another boring day, because the day after tomorrow we'll have no classes and we're in store for a three day weekend.
I mean, do you know that feeling that when tomorrow's special, the day before that's all you think about so everything else goes boring? That's the feeling. Well, I won't keep you waiting.
Blog Inspiration
Well, I've been reading Gilbert Arenas' blog on the NBA and thought about it. Maybe I could make one myself and open up to that blog as though it was someone I can actually talk to. He's good at doing that. He's quite talkative and I'll try to be like him. It's amazing how he can expound on his blog. He also puts stuff in there as if he was talking to the reader.
He was also voted for best celebrity blogger and beat people like Donald Trump and he beat a guy from Star Trek by a slim margin. He even had the T-Shirt which has this written on it: "If noone votes for me, I won't write anymore blogs". Kinda cool. He openly speaks in that blog like he was scared of noone.
That's not even mentioning his skill in playing ball, he's a real good scorer. Too bad he's injured and isn't going to be back for 3 months.
Les Miserables: An Attempt On Scomething Amazing
My class is trying to do a musical wherein we would use songs from the actual Les Miserables concert. It's quite ambitious if you ask me but it would be well worth a try. If we accomplish this properly, that would be HUGE. In the rich 32 years of our school, we are the first to try to imitate an already ridiculously great musical in Les Miserables.
On us accomplishing that, that would stamp our names in the school's memories as one of the best ever sections to study in our school's campus. But we had to be tested before we enter the Auditorium to prersent there. Well, on our screening, it didn't look like it would happen.
We tried, we tried. But we came up with something which was commented "very good for a student". That hurts a lot. We wanted this to come up big. We came up short because there was a bit of curse on that day. The songs were better in practices than they were in the actual screening. It's just like in my case, it was my off key day. I forgot to tell you I'm taking on a role that sings. In case you would know who this guy is, I'm taking on Enjolras.
It's a good thing that our teacher told us the day before that noone ever gets through screening before she redirects a production. Now we're going to redirect it and we're scheduled to present some time in January. I'm saying now that it would be good. I have new and high hopes for our class right now. We were only made stronger by the fact that we got rejected, and the criticisms only fed us with more power.
My Youtube Account
So... I'm here to promote my youtube channel. You can find it at:

I have cool videos there. Well, be sure to check it out.
Trying The NBA: LeBron James
Well, LeBron has been teriffic, need I say more? Noone can top the way he's been playing lately. He also had that 48 point performance aganst Detroit in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals en rout to a Finals appearance, his latest accomplishment is him beating Boston and it's big 3. He's gonna be MVP if he keeps playing lke this. With that, everytime I write a blog, I'll be checking on him.

Special Blog Entry #1
I'm actually supposed to write blog entries every other day, but this one is urgent. I won't write on the topics I said I was going to write now. This is a special blog entry for my classmates alone. IV-ZDN, I was not able to attend your open forum today, November 27, 2007, scheduled for 4-5pm. I know most of you probably jumped the gun and said Mikko is actually the guy who had all the difficulties, but hey. Here goes my side.
Trash Talking
-To those of you who were grossed out by the language I used to express myself, I am sorry. I apologize. But that doesn't cut it. Ask this to yourselves. Were you supposed to read that archive? You had no business. You shouldn't care. If ever you were grossed out, that's his fault not mine. I didn't show you the message. He did. All I did was trash talk, sure that was wrong, but tell it to the entire world, that's not even close to being right. I talked to him in Yahoo! Messenger to show it to him privately. Come on. Do you actually think I would have said all those stuff in front of lots of people? So it's his fault that you had to witness my wrathful language, not mine. I never wanted you people to see that. It's the same as telling a secret to someone, then that someone announces it.
Why, Cholo, Why?
-The question has to be running in your mind. Well, he's boastful, and he thinks he's superior. Let's get things straight. In the Les Mis preparations, from day one, he felt superior. Sure, he knew everything. But that's not enough to go about telling people who are auditioning they're all wrong. Then he shows you how to do it. That's degrading. You try your best and you're still practicing, then some small guy comes in front of you and then tells you you're wrong. I mean, you're auditioning and you're clueless on how to sing the song. Don't tell me he just cares, because the way he says it especially to me is different. Then you get the song right, but he's not contented. He asks for more then he sings it. Well, I suppose not everyone has an idea of what it feels like to be treated like that. Cause not everyone's as stupid as I am when it comes to singing. I guess now you know what I hate. Not everyone feels it.
The Rights of People In Charge
-This is especially for the Les Mis presentation. First off, Eirish, it's ok. This is to prevent mistakes. I write this for the sake of understanding eachother and correcting mistakes.
1. You have no right to tell us that what we do is crap. It's more difficult to sing and act than to just watch and get frustrated. We don't get everything right but say it in a nice way.
2. You have no right to get mad at people who don't go to school at 5am because they know what happends to 5am practices.
Thank you. For the next blog entry's contents, check my 1st entry.

My Blog, Blog Thoughts and Academic Week Thoughts
I am Jose Pocholo C. Sebastian, I live in Las Pinas City, Metro Manila, Philippines. I am 16 and am now a 4th year high school student. I study in Elizabeth Seton School. Basic info.
This is my first ever blog entry in my first ever attempt to make a blog...
So what about blogs? Blogs let you express your thoughts on things. Well, I've been wanting to express my opinions lately. And probably let people know how I feel about stuff that's been happening, that's the reason for this blog.
Well... The CREED letter in our school during this time is E for Excellence. By the way, Creed stands for:
Commitment to Faith
Respect
Excellence
Empowerment
Dedicated Service
Academic Week is at the season of Excellence. The Academic Week lets you showcase your talent through contests. When you win contests, you get incentives, and of course, honor. Fulfillment. We focused on three activities this Academic Week.
1. Asik
-A slave dance wherein the umbrella girl makes her entrance to make way for the singkil dance. It's ridiculous actually, we're required to put in 20 students to perform, but we were given a dance wherein only one person dances. Crazy, huh? We won this one though, champion. I was the guy who plays the gong. Fun part for me. I slam the gong around 8 times.
2. Bubble Math
-One goal, make people laugh while using Math terms. Well, we tried the concept of PingPong matrix(the one you can find in youtube) and we ssucceeded using blacklight. We had SpiderMan vs. Green Goblin in Filipino and English language. Kind of cool actually, especially the curses like Mother Functions and Holy Shintegers. I was one of the guys who carried Spiderman and a skit actor. We also were champions this time.
3. You against the Horde
-I was a host here, inspired by the Gameshow 1 vs 100. Robert and I hosted this one and it was exhausting. We were on stage for like 3 hours. There were 5 sets all in all, 1st-4th yr then mixed year levels. I got a certificate for this one.
There was another contest in a subject wherein you had a group to work with. With this group of around 8, you make a commercial. There are 3 possible awards, Best Soundtrack, People's Choice and Best Commercial. Should you win one of the awards, your section is entitled to a perfect periodical exam. Well, my group won the Best Soundtrack, chosen by me. I also edted the commercial and was camera man.
Ekonomista
-My social sciences teacher let me join in an economics quiz bee wherein 11 "prominent" high schools in Manila would compete. This was held at De La Salle University - Taft at the new building. Well, I studied and we had a good time competing. It was a team competition and I was with Anthony and Ron. God, they're geniuses. We won 2nd place with P4500 prize money. Philippine Science High School won 1st place with a big lead and La Immaculada Conepcion won 3rd. By the way, Philippine Science High School has such amazing and advanced minds.
Excellence
-I conclude that this Academic Week, November 19-24, 2007, I have lived up to what this Excellence really is. Excellence is where heart and mind becomes one to produce big things. I won 3 awards for myself, first I was a host, I made a good musical scoring and I won second place in an Interschool competition. This week was my big break. Finally with the interschool win, I can hear not just my name in Graduation.
Next time on my blog: Where I got the idea of blogging, thoughts on our class' Les Miserables musical, my youtube account and the videos in it and my insights on NBA Player LeBron James' performance as of late.
