Ignite Speech: Creative Story telling and Confessions of a Bookaholic

The Ignite Speech: Creative Storytelling and Confessions of a Book-a-holic is just one of the competitions that are part of the English Resource Management’s events (no wonder the ERC is the best).

On the Creative Storytelling, competitors must declaim Filipino Legends and Stories in various ways, some acted in out, some used puppets while some just normally declaimed it (It is quite Ironic that they are storytelling a Filipino story in English). All of the competitors did a terrific job, but one of my favorite is the “Legend of the Javaplum” because they used the silhouette of the paper cut characters to tell the story and also they has the most unique story telling among them all.

The Confessions of a Book-a-holic on the other hand is a competition where selected certified book readers confessed their own insights on what are the positive and the negative effects when you read a book. Though they have the same content of speeches, I can still relate to all of them especially on the part where one of the speakers said that books are portals to escape this ugly reality temporarily and be the main character of the certain story because I, too, read books because it somehow takes me to another world where I am once a lightning girl, a wizard, a robot, a half-blood and a boy looking for a girl that left me without reason. Books are just amazing, but the prices are not so I have to spend my monthly allowance to buy a new book, but it is worth every page of a book and I would love to collect more if my father would let me, I don’t know why he’s refraining me to read books, but I will still collect them because books are the only I think where I can be anyone I want to be and anywhere I want to go.
