The Secret Behind Mona Lisa's Smile


In England, archaeologists have found new explanation for an old mystery. For many years, people have been fascinated with the smile of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting, "Mona Lisa". There seem to be a mystery with the woman. Now, scientists in Bradford, England say they know why the Mona Lisa smiled that way: guess what? She had bad teeth!

Scientists believe that the painting shows a woman called Isabella of Aragon, also known as La Gioconda. She lived in the 1500s when dentists do not know as much about teeth as they do today. Therefore, many people had bad teeth. Could Isabella had bad teeth?

Archaeologists thought that Isabella might have had something to hide. They looked at her teeth. Sure enough, they were black and scarred. The old-fashioned toothpaste that Isabella used may have caused these problems. They could also have come from using mercury, a poison that was used as a medicine.

So when Leonardo started painting, Isabella did not say "cheese!".

Goldenberg-IV Convocation

94.4%.

The highest convocation grade our section had since first year. As the director of the show, I am not on my high expectations with what others performed during our practices. But I was wrong, my classmates also worked hard to achieve the grade.

There were so many errors we encountered during the show. One major is our 2 laptops. One had no lights. The other is slow-working. I don't know. But besides all of the malfunctions, we were blessed with the grade and the comments of the students and teachers.

NNNN: the most favorite of everybody. It was starred by Nicole Mae Seminio as Krissy,a and Bryan Gonzalez as Bhoy. Everyone enjoyed that part. The skit also, was very good. The audience had fun watching everything on our convocation.

Below are the videos from the NNNN:









Those were the interviews from the NNNN.
Under this are the commercial spoofs played by Amiel Bucayan as Jehomar Bitay and Cris Vienne Dadivas as the kid in the Gulay Me!





Now, below are the errors we all laughed at. This was not shown to the audience. :)



Those videos were only parts of the grade we achieved. We also had a very good stage design, though it was rushed.






And maybe as the last convocation we have in our high school years, I salute everyone on the Goldenberg-IV Batch 2010 for a job well done!

You made it a great convocation!

No Blogs During Class Days.

After three weeks classes has started, I have been unexposed to write blogs on my site. I miss typing, correcting, analyzing errors and posting blogs.

One major reason: I am a senior now. I carry two times more responsibilities not unlike last year. So far, I am loving my Senior Year. The dilemma is, I am not fond of being called as "Manong", or in other words, an older brother. I still cannot internalize that the best years of my life will end next year, realizing time runs fast.

The purpose I wrote this is because I miss typing in the keyboard what I felt. I remembered doing this thing because I wanted to be a journalist, part-time one. At least in five of ten minutes, I get to tell what I thought, and what I feel.

Don't worry my blog, I will still post blogs. I still have more to prioritize.
