One of the most interesting subtopics from our lessons on Trends is the ‘Characteristics of a Trendspotter’. From this, I was able to discover how far more complex studying trends is than what we realize. Spotting and discovering trends take critical thinking and analyzing. It takes careful efforts, and actually studying the things we see around. I have recently discovered, through once again studying this topic, that spotting a trend is a big risk if you do not learn about it enough. It becomes a big gamble because you cannot completely predict whether something will be the next big thing. From what I have learned, there are 9 characteristics a trendspotter must have and I plan to describe each one of them from my own opinions. The first one is Adopt a beginner’s mind. This will help you remove any prior knowledge on a specific thing; you must discover how to unlearn certain things that might hinder you from understanding it from a trendspotter’s mind. The second one is Know wh

PLOT SUMMARY Pan’s Labyrinth is about Princess Moanna, the princess of the Underworld Realm who had her memories erased. She became a mortal and has no memory of her past and her royal blood. The movie is set int eh Spanish Civil War era as Ofelia, the young girl, travels with her pregnant mother to Captain Vidal, the father of the unborn child.

The faun gives her three tasks that she needed to complete fir her to earn her immortality. The first task was to get a key from the belly of a toad; Ofelia completes this with absolute bravery. Meanwhile, the condition of her pregn

         The annual Pistang Tomas was held last February 12, 2018 to February 15, 2018. For our Trends class, we were tasked to  buy three products from the different stalls and make a blog post describing the product. When we went to the Quadricentennial Park, it was a very refreshing and new take for us. This was my first time witnessing Pistang Tomas, finding out just recently that it was an annual celebration since the year 2012. I was able to roam around the area, having the chance to observe and really look into each of the stalls twice. As I was walking around, I became so fascinated by the products that I wanted to buy all of them. I have always loved the authenticity of handmade products, especially those from our very own country. There are even products that I have never seen before, which is very astonishing considering this is Manila and there is scarcity for products that you only usually see in provinces. I enjoyed it a lot, it was just a bit sad that I did not have eno
