this just in

one semester is going down and there are only seven more to go! Lord knows how relieved i am. i thought i wouldn't survive but just the thought of taking up communication arts makes everything seem worth the flood, the money and the sleepless nights! what is it about? passion. and broadcasting is about transparency. today, the broadcasting power of media is everything but oblivious. it's everywhere as if it's the most authoritative non-human whatever! but ok, what do i have to say about it? broadcasting guides lives. imagine communities without it. we'd have no source of updates and all necessary information. we'd have no idea about wars in the middle east, about the latest trips of our politicians and such. but more often than not, broadcasting becomes more irrelevant especially to the younger audience. maybe because they choose not to care about the important facts and figures. but that shouldn't be the case. broadcasting, for the youth, is more of an entertainment. it's saddening because more and more, we become (because we choose) to be indifferent about what's going on. we grow numb to what's disturbing others until it hits us face-to-face and when this happens, it's either too late or too much to bare. but ask us the latest fashion trend, the hippest place to be and the coolest gadget on market, we'd answer with out blinking our eyes. broadcasting introduced us to materialism. it's not that i'm against it. i'm soo not 'cause it's really a great help to us. we just don't let it help us. (was i clear?) and as a probable media practitioner, it's my dream to be influential to the youth. i dream that they be more aware of what's really happening and what's missing in this world: a little care.
