Yes to Academic Freeze hashtag We Maintenance As One

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"PLDT and Smart customers might experience slow internet connections as it conducts emergency maintenance activities from Sept. 25 to 30, 2020. Despite this, the telco giant assures customers of continued connectivity during that period."

Similarly, I thought Globe released a somewhat similar announcement somewhere within the same dates. But then cleared it up.

Several schools in Metro Manila already announced adjustments in their online classes for Sept. 25-30, in line with the maintenance activities announced.

The notice from Globe Telecoms na hindi affected ang service nila from the emergency maintenance tomorrow could have been good news if I was still with Globe. So the September 28 issue of Globe is isolated?

SKY also released an announcement regarding the AAG emergency maintenance. Expect a slow internet connection starting tomorrow 8 am in the morning. Is Sky affected because it's connected to PLDT too?

How about Converge? Maybe they're not shutting down since Liza Soberano could be capable of doing that on her own, and forever for this victim.

Liza Soberano filedva formal criminal case against the netizen, who is employed by Converge, that made a 'rape remark'. Liza was accompanied by her manager Ogie Diaz and legal counsel. 

Soberano said that the 'rape joke' shouldn't be taken lightly: "I was really upset, because the fact that it's a rape joke it's not something that should be taken lightly, and the fact that she's a woman, I would never in a million years do a joke like that."

Soberano adds: "I know that everybody is entitled to their own opinion, that is true, but at some point you have to be respectful to others online. I want people to learn that there are consequences to everything like rape jokes coz that is not a light matter."

I really don't know what's with Converge's employees but the way they handled Liza Soberano's complaint speaks volume about themselves. Imagine:

1st: They leaked Liza's personal information.

2nd: They gave her a rape threat.

3rd:  They really be talking shits about her.

But enough of that, going back to the we maintenance as one,

The fact that schools are cancelling classes next week because of the Telco or Internet service providers advisories shows that they truly care and want no student left behind...I just hope all schools feel that way.

Hayop Ka Filipino animation gets criticized for casting Robin Padilla as one of the lead characters

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The first animated Netflix film from the Philippines is arriving in the streaming site in October.

“Hayop Ka! The Nimfa Dimaano Story," a rom-com film featuring the voices of Angelica Panganiban, Robin Padilla, and Sam Milby, is dropping on October 29.

"Because of Robin Padilla’s part in the film, some people called to boycott the animated film – but in a September 21 tweet, one of its animators appealed to viewers to support the film and not judge it by its actors alone."

Kawawa naman yung mga nasa likod ng produksyon nadamay dahil kay tabogong Robinhood. Parang yung "Mulan" 2020 lang.

Do you know why Robin was among the cast? Joyce Bernal is one of the producers. Joyce Bernal, the Presidential SONA director. Lol!

We are not obliged to call for a support to a film totally messed up by a miscast!

We have so many amazing, established, professional voice actors, but the film chose prestige casting (even though Robin Padilla’s voice just sounds like...Robin Padilla) so they have to bear the consequences. 

Animated films take a long time to produce and maybe nacast na nila si Robin as one of the voice actors prior to his social media kabobohan antics. I will support the film to support Filipino creators and animators but not for Robin.

Based on the trailer, I am indeed tempted not to see this film. Mr. Padilla, was miscast or because of his previous roles, was pigeon holed into the underdog lover trope and was casted because of it. They could've looked for better voice actors. He sound very breathy at the end of his lines and it doesn't suit the character he plays.

Actually, they've all been typecasted. This is why the trailer itself sounds awkward. They should also consider the character of the artists they are getting. If it has a good reputation and if the action is a good example to others.

The thing is, Robin Padilla is a very divisive person. The production knew that before they hired him, they weighed their options and still went with him maybe thinking there are more Robin fans than detractors? 

So to the animator, I’m sorry, many would probably not see your work, or just watch it over pirated sites online. Good luck on your future projects, hopefully you will learn from this mistake.

Robin is a trash but let’s give it a shot sa Filipino animated film na ito. Unfair yan kung hindi natin susuportahan dahil lang sa iisang aktor, hindi pa nga natin napapanood. The trailer usually does not show the bigger picture of how good the animators and storytellers are.

Dapat kasi yung kinuha nyung artista yung walang kinikilingang politiko. Everything is politics. Always remember that. Lahat ng bagay, may influence yung political beliefs and disbeliefs. So, people (the consumers) have the final say to it. Good luck sa animation ninyo.

Mag isip-isip na ang mga producer na sa susunod wag na nilang kunin ang mga artistang pro Duterte. Hindi rin to mapapanood at masusuportahan ng mga DeDeEs kasi wala sila lahat pang-Netflix. Puro Piratebay lang. Unless dagdagan ang kanilang TF....or isama mga Chinese paid trolls....pati na yung PNP at AFP trolls.

Why did they go with actors instead of local dubbers who voiced for hero TV? They're hardly represented in cinema. kawawa naman yung mga nagpakahirap sa movie konti na nga lang animators natin dito.

How about the others? Are you still going to watch it just to support Philippine animation but you will surely cringe at every voice line of Robin Padilla? Or you'll mute his parts?

How to Motivate Yourself

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Overcoming emotional downtime when you have an essential thing to accomplish is not an easy task. Most of us often go through this calling in sick is the norm for many. If you do not like procrastinating, you will find yourself dragging your feet even in the most urgent matters. With such a setback, it is crucial to have some tips on how you can motivate yourself. However, it is not a guarantee that you will succeed due to unchangeable circumstances. Below are some ways you can motivate yourself, carefully crafted by term paper writing help experts.

Why 

It more demoralizing working on a task while you are depressed. The best option is to take a step back and trace where it all started. The moment you figure out when the problem started and why then you have a high chance of sorting it out. And if you cannot get the reason, you should ignore it and move on.

Take a break on intervals

Breaks help you move out of the issue and shift attention to something else. Doing a different activity during the break will help a lot.

Move around

Keeping your body active increases the pulse rate and will as well boost the brain activity. Some people find it silly, but it works.

Way forward

If you are having a challenge focusing on the current task, you can move to the next one and revisit the current one later. Focusing on one task that is not bearing any fruit will lead to time wasted and possible procrastination.

Isolate the problem

Find out what is bothering you and isolate it. It will be impossible to work if you will not have dealt with the source of the problem. The most common signs include anger, restlessness, boredom, fear, and fatigue.

Deconstruct your fears

You may think you do not have any fear of accomplishing a task. However, there may be underlying anxieties and fears that will distract you from finishing your work. Identify and isolate them and boost your confidence.

Do not work alone

Find a partner that will motivate you in your time of distress. That second opinion matters most when you are about to quit.

Kickstart your day

Plan your day, starting with the essential work early in the morning. This way, you will build a momentum that will drive you through the day.

Read a book

A book will not only give you information bus also expand your mind. Graduate from reading motivational and self-help books alone to reading books that give you new ideas. New ideas will provide you with the confidence to tackle an issue differently, thus stay motivated.

Mantra is key 

A short statement that reminds you of your goal and keeps you focused is highly recommended. Any motivational mantras will work irrespective of where you get it. An example of an excellent mantra to start with is “do it now.”

Capitalize on your successes

Success is a motivational factor. When you succeed, it will drive you to pursue more success, and each hurdle you overcome motivates you to the next. As you plan our day, make a to-do list of which you will be ticking every accomplished task. Whether it is a small accomplishment, note it down. It is equally important.

Conclusion

The above tips will help you overcome any demotivation that you may encounter in your daily activities. These tips do not guarantee the absence of low moments but ensure a solution when you have such moments.
