So the other day, I watched "Godzilla"

This film truly received the majority of people's attention when it came out with it's teaser trailers over the past months. Now that it is out, people seemed to have different thoughts of the movie. The side which is overly satisfied with it, and the other which regards it as a failure. Well, I kinda fall in between. Between to the failure, to be specific. Godzilla truly had been superior in it's graphical imagery and is obviously what Godzilla 1998 should've been. But the movie, approximately around 2 hours long had a problem. It didn't give Godzilla, the main star more screen time. I do understand that they are planning to build up to the final climax of the story, but too many teasers were shown that really offsets the viewers. The enemies "M.U.T.O" had been given certain amount of screen time that we weren't very much interested in. But they did manage to pay it back by the sheer amount of awesomeness it delivered from the final fight scene of the two monsters. The plus this movie gave was the fact that they made Godzilla the vigilante, which resulted in a very reasonable ending. But the fact that most of the screen time when the monsters weren't there, are mainly covered by bland acting and dialogue, which may be because of most the budget going towards the production of this films amazing graphical effects. To conclude, it is a good movie and is highly recommended even if you are not a Godzilla franchise follower.

The Dawn of the Exams

It is the time of the year when we all cram up the all-nighters as we brace ourselves for the final examinations. But this term feels quite different. It doesn't seem to have much hype put into it in comparison to the first and second term examinations. I personally felt the second term to have been the big show of the year. The several reasons for why might students be left un-hyped of the finals might be on the cancellation of Year 10, in which the primary focus focuses more on the admissions. One other possibility might be because the third term might've not been as vast as the second term examinations. That is not exactly true though, as the finals actually combines what was actually thought for the entire year, which basically means all three terms combined into one colossal paper per subject. Hence, focus is much needed in these examinations more than anything. As these report cards are the ones representing ourselves to the next schools we are all going to. 

The Entrance Exam

Well, I got the admission to the sister counterpart of my current school, known as "The Winchester School" situated in the outskirts of Jebel Ali, "The Gardens" to be specific. It is true that my home and the school is at two opposite sides of the spectrum. I really didn't have much of a choice than to go with it, as it is the only reasonably priced school with admission seats available. Nearly half of the students taking the exam there were from my school. Not that I could blame them, it is one of the only good schools with good prices and facilities. The test was quite okay, not surely a confident cakewalk. The others seemed to have the same reactions as well. With all such hard efforts putting into finding and taking admission tests in this school, it better be worth. I hope that we are all able to pass the test. 

The Problematic School Issues

So, year 10 expansion was not accepted by the KHDA for our school. This seems to have been quite problematic. Actually, much more problematic than what we thought. Not only were we freaking out, our parents also didn't know what to do in such a late span of time. Most of the schools across Dubai have had their admissions already closed out. The ones having the plenty of seats are the ones you cannot possibly spend too much from, such as GEMS Wellingtion International School. If that was not enough to strain our backs. Our exams are also around the corner. Leading to most students having to focus more on finding schools rather than having their mind primarily focused on the final examinations. Hopefully, solutions would come to us sooner or later.

The Lost Society

Heyo there! I am your fellow young Year 9 student known as Rehv Justin G. Sanchez, to be specific. I am a Filipino born in the midst of Dubai at the late 90's era of 1999. At the current age of 14 at the moment, attending the GEMS Winchester School of Oud Metha. My sole purpose of having this blog in existence is to basically timeline the things happening in the world's society in general, and that includes me, hence, 'The Lost Society".
