Statistics, eh?

Statistics.

Our group was the fourth to present in class and with it the growing pressure to excel and leave a mark, what with the grand performance of the first group which was matched by the succeeding ones and their acclaimed high expectations of ours especially since it was said that in the past years, the Statistics group was always the best. After brainstorming, we arrived at a “bonggang” plan which was set to satisfy and at the same time, to make our classmates’ lives complicated (though it was more of the latter, to be honest).

For the first day, the plan was to sort of still have the amazing race-like game in which all of the groups excluding ours could participate into but with the hunger games-like twists without physical pains and injuries intended of course (just mental bwahaha). Much to our demise, during the day of the action, things didn’t quite fall into place the way we envisioned them to be. We found ourselves not being able to follow the map we designed for the activity. Scared that we too would get confused and mentally drained with our plan instead of just our classmates, we did things the simpler way (without all the tricks and traps we initially set out).

For the second meeting, we decided to debate about the reliability of polls. At first, we weren’t really prepared for it (in fact we CRAMMED). I was initially scared of embarrassing myself in front of the class what with my lack of preparations. This circumstance was mainly due to the week being hellish enough with academic requirements due and scheduled back-to-back exams without the math presentation itself. Then again, no excuses allowed. All we could do was try our best to stuff as much info as we could in our heads, pray for the best outcome and straighten our backs as we accepted the challenge at hand. Fortunately, our presentation was postponed for the next meeting. We thanked our lucky stars that day and breathed long sighs of relief.  

We thanked our stars even more when judgement day came. We finished our debate smoothly, or so we would like to think. HAHA Then again, it wasn’t a secret that nobody really cared about our little debate. Everyone was excited for the movie.


Aah, the movie.


The movie was what excited me the most. We did what we can and thankfully we have gotten good feedbacks from our peers for it. We even had to tape at night due to conflicts in our schedules during the day and ignore the urge to run from the quiet stillness of the CSM builing (which is worthy of a horror movie in itself, so to speak).

Our movie entitled (actually it did not have any hahaha) was about Gardo, a man who, albeit finishing only up to 3rd year high school, went to the city with high hopes for his future (career and lovelife wise). There he was able to rescue Serena from almost getting it by a car. Grateful, Serena insists to offer Gardo a job in her company (at first a desk job but then he ends up being a janitor because of his lack of credentials). There he meets different people including Marco, the mysterious boss of the company (and man of Serena, poor Gardo), Tiffany, the bratty secretary (really) and Lala, a seemingly out of place crazy girl. He meets another persona in the form of the ghost Divina and soon he finds himself asking questions such as “Who is Divina?”, “What happened to her?”, “Who is responsible for her death?” and soon loses himself in a trance, trying to solve the mystery that haunts the office. With the help of Statistics, will he ever be able to solve this mystery and at what price?

This, you have to find out by watching the movie. --> refer to Jason, please. :)
Although with regards to “Who is Divina?”...


Yes. I play the role of the ghost. Spooky~~
