Just got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a few hours ago..

 

The last word of the book is not "scar".

 

It's "well". 

Inihahandog ng nag-iisa at premyadong samahang pangteatro ng De La Salle University, Harlequin Theatre Guild (HTG), ang Playfest 2k7.

Pinamagatang Alimuom: Unang Singaw, ang produksyong ito ay pinaka-unang patikim ng Harlequin sa mga mag-aaral ng La Salle na tumatalakay sa iba't-ibang mukha ng buhay Pilipino tampok ang mga bagong nagsasanay sa grupo bilang mga artista at production at marketing staff.

Ang Alimuom ay nahahati sa dalawang kategorya: komedya tampok ang Ang Buhay ay Pelikula ng Artistic Director ng Tanghalang Pilipino na si Dennis Marasigan at Happily Ever After ng National Artist na si Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero; drama tampok ang mga orihinal na dula ng mga miyembro ng HTG na si Carlo Bero para sa Hayok at Wowow Cabrera para sa Hangin at Apoy. Ipinakikilala rin ng HTG ang mga bagong direktor ng grupo na sina Jon Pe, Marc Laban-Laban, Joanne Gamo, Leslie Pacheco, Dal Ramos at Stine Viray sa kanilang unang sabak sa larangan ng pagdirehe.

Ang Playfest ay isang makulay na tradisyon ng HTG kung saan ang mga bagong nagsasanay at mga miyembro ay nagtutunggali para matawag na pinakamagaling sa larangan ng teatro.

Ang Harlequin Theatre Guild ang siyang naghatid sa inyo ng mga palabas gaya ng Absurdo at Komedi, Isang Buhay sa Tambakan, Himig ng Paglikha at ang nakaraang Playfest kung saan itinampok ang mga gawa ng mga miyembro ng Malate Literary Folio.

God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out-like, in Latin
"This is so not life at all
Help me out-out-of this nightmare"
Then I heard her silver call-
She said: "Just give it time, kid
I come to one and all"

She said: "Give me that hand, please
And the itch you can't control
Let me teach you how to handle
All the sadness in your soul
Oh, we'll work that silver magic
Then we'll aim it at the wall"
She said: "Love may make you blind kid-
But I wouldn't mind at all"

Nag-counter strike kame kani-kanina. Wala lang. Masaya.

PERO DI KAMI MAIINGAY TULAD NG IBA DYAN!

Currently feeling: tired

Nakakairita yung mga maiingay sa Internet cafes! Dapat mag-impose ng rule na bawal sumigaw na parang gago sa loob ng mga Internet cafes! Yung mga nagDODOTA... etc...

Currently feeling: frustrated

Pagpasok ko pa lang ngayon sa Netopia kanina, sasabihin ko dapat kay ate, "Ate, internet po."

Ngunit inunahan ako ni Ate sa pagsalita. Sabi nya, "Magmember ka na."

Ayun, member na ko..

La lang.

This one caught my interest:

from: http://allpsych.com/psychology101/ego.html

Freud came to see personality as having three aspects, which work together to produce all of our complex behaviours: the Id, the Ego and the Superego.  All 3 components need to be well-balanced in order to have good amount of psychological energy available and to have reasonable mental health.

However, the Ego has a difficult time dealing with the competing demands of the Superego and the Id.  According to the psychoanalytic view, this psychological conflict is an intrinsic and pervasive part of human experience.  The conflict between the Id and Superego, negotiated by the Ego, is one of the fundamental psychological battles all people face.  The way in which a person characteristically resolves the instant gratification vs. longer-term reward dilemma in many ways comes to reflect on their "character".

THE ID (“It”): functions in the irrational and emotional part of the mind. At birth a baby’s mind is all Id - want want want.  The Id is the primitive mind. It contains all the basic needs and feelings. It is the source for libido (psychic energy). And it has only one rule --> the “pleasure principle”: “I want it and I want it all now”.  In transactional analysis, Id equates to "Child". 

Id too strong = bound up in self-gratification and uncaring to others

THE EGO: (“I”): functions with the rational part of the mind. The Ego develops out of growing awareness that you can’t always get what you want. The Ego relates to the real world and operates via the “reality principle”.  The Ego realises the need for compromise and negotiates between the Id and the Superego.  The Ego's job is to get the Id's pleasures but to be reasonable and bear the long-term consequences in mind.  The Ego denies both instant gratification and pious delaying of gratification.  The term ego-strength is the term used to refer to how well the ego copes with these conflicting forces.  To undertake its work of planning,  thinking and controlling the Id, the Ego uses some of the Id's libidinal energy.  In transactional analysis, Ego equates to "Adult". 

Ego too strong = extremely rational and efficient, but cold, boring and distant

THE SUPEREGO (“Over-I”): The Superego is the last part of the mind to develop.  It might be called the moral part of the mind. The Superego becomes an embodiment of parental and societal values. It stores and enforces rules. It constantly strives for perfection, even though this perfection ideal may be quite far from reality or possibility.  Its power to enforce rules comes from its ability to create anxiety.

The Superego has two subsystems: Ego Ideal and Conscience. The Ego Ideal provides rules for good behaviour, and standards of excellence towards which the Ego must strive. The Ego ideal is basically what the child’s parents approve of or value. The Conscience is the rules about what constitutes bad behaviour. The Conscience is basically all those things that the child feels mum or dad will disapprove of or punish.

Superego too strong = feels guilty all the time, may even have an insufferably saintly personality
