Marketing is difficult without Multimedia

Nowadays, the use of multimedia is very common and became necessary. Even a child knows how to use it and would prefer to use it more than any other thing. Multimedia became a part of us that would be very hard to eliminate. That's why businesses took advantage of it. Since multimedia is accessible to everyone, then it's just fit to use multimedia in marketing their product or the business itself. For instance, the picture below:

In every site, there are numerous online ads that decorates its page. It may be at the right, left, top or even at the bottom, you can't escape that. And that's how helpful multimedia is in businesses when it comes to marketing. Imagine if there won't be any use of multimedia, everything will be manually done. Without the use of multimedia, they could still be going from house to house just to market their product or their business. Instead of printing a poster, they could have used their voices just to broadcast to the public their products and services. But with the help of multimedia, things became easier and more accessible. Instead of pourin' your heart out in screaming your products. you can just post it on the net, print a poster then distribute them, post on social sites, etc. 

Everything became just one-click away. That's how big the role of multimedia in marketing is. Without multimedia, things will get rough and would be very hard to every business company. Presently, with the help of multimedia, products are easily and instantly marketed world wide. Products from overseas can already reach us and are already noticeable. Multimedia changed the world and is a really great help. Marketing is difficult without Multimedia.

Idleness is never an option on a rainy day.

When the rain starts to fall, only a thought resides in every student's mind: NO CLASSES! Well, I'd be hypocrite if I'd deny that I myself, had the same thought. Every student can't escape that feeling and it's not good. Suspension of classes is a great opportunity for the students to stop and rest for awhile. Well, if that's the case, then it's good. But if your intention is to suffice your idleness and do worthless things during your break, then that's just a waste of time. Some say that because of the weather, they can't go outside to perform their tasks but that's not a reason for us to be idle, there are tons of things that we can do at home to stay productive.

We can start with the things that don't require us to go outside. I, for one started to cope up with my assignments, projects and chores. Well, as a college student, the word "REST" is nonexistent. Every single minute counts, and if we'll idle ourselves, then we won't thrive in our field of course. And that's actually the highlight of my one-week vacation. I started some of my projects and assignments. Though the cool air is really tempting—how I always wanted to lie down and take a nap that would eventually turn out to be a full 6-hour sleep—but that didn't stop me. I'd rather do my assignments than go out and wrestle with the angry weather.

Let's not just think of ourselves. We might have done the things that we need, but how about others? We had a long week and we thought only for our sake. We should have thought of others as well. Yes, we can't go outside and help them firsthand but we can always be humble enough to say our prayers for them. Pray sincerely for their safety. And later on send them our donations. We're lucky enough to still have our beds dry and sleep soundly, to still enjoy light in our homes and to still have food on our tables. I'm so grateful that my community were not affected by the bad weather, we are all so blessed. Really, what to do on a rainy day? Do your tasks and think of others. Do things for yourself, and for others as well. Idleness is never an option.

Continuous Progression of Multimedia Industries in the Philippines

Multimedia Industries are rapidly progressing nowadays. Unlike before that it's somehow neglected that they don't invest that much to media stuffs. But now that our generation is highly technological that we usually depends on technology, Multimedia Industries are already lining up with other industries here in the Philippines. How? I think that it's primarily because of the influences of the other countries, for instance, US Multimedia Industry collaborated with the newly built Multimedia Industry here, so on and so forth.

Somehow, Multimedia Industry is one of the biggest and most accommodated industries world wide. Almost everyone is engaged in any multimedia activity. Multimedia or its root, media, is very influential and affects most of us. Whecuaatever you put in them will trend and will be accommodated.

We sometimes think that we change because of media, or multimedia products but it's the vice-versa. Multimedia change, when we, benefactors, clients, or customers change. When our needs and wants change. So as the standing an industry has. The state of multimedia industry depends on how we can influence them or on how they can think of something else that could stir  up our interests in their products. Notice that whenever you need or want something new, multimedia industry is already there to suffice your yearning. Industries depend on what their clients need and want, and they'll readily provide them. As long as we need and want something pertaining multimedia products, their industry will continually progress.  It's impossible to stop that.

Arising Family. Arising MMA!

                         Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Arts is a new course here in Lyceum of the Philippines University - Laguna, last two years . Only  few know it for only few are enrolled in this course. This course covers web designing, animation, video editing, photo editing, photography, and many more multimedia-related activities. Many said that this course is a stupid program to be engaged to, for anyone who's not enrolled can do the things which those that are enrolled can do, but I say or we say, "NO, OF COURSE NOT!" Because, they might know and do the things we know, but they cannot professionally profit from it 'cause they are not entitled to it or they don't have their degree. They might have a chance but if we compete with them in terms of winning the job, we would definitely be hired because of the degree, experiences and knowledge that we have. We are not to boast about it, but we just want the world to know that we know what we are doing and we're happy with it.

                         Especially now that we are not few anymore, we are growing in numbers and it strengthens us more. Growing in numbers and having more family members only means having more and brighter ideas. These new MMAs would bring lots and lots of new ideas and talents that would be shared to us, and that's a blessing 'cause together, we will use that talent and soar high.

I'll show you how MMA grew. These are the pioneer MMAs, class 2010-2014:

pretty ates & cute bros! :D

And this is when we stepped into the picture. Class 2010-2014 with Class 2011-2015:

hmmm, still few huh? :(

And now, freshmen came into the picture and made our faces appear very small in the camera because of our huge number! :) 1st to 3rd year MMA!!

now, where am I?!! haha

                         Well, we're still few compared to other courses but compared to what we used to be, we're really getting bigger and bigger! We're really blessed to have more members in the family to share our knowledge and talents. To have little brothers and sisters. To be the ones that they can confide in and ask for help about the problems we've already been through and how we're able to solve it. To teach them what we've learned. To let them know our mistakes and help avoid them as they take the same journey we had. This is not an easy race and will get harder, if we'll only stick together and solve problems together, it'll somehow lighten things up. We may still be few now, but as time pass, we'll become bigger and will soar high! :) AJA MMA!! :D

Philippine Multimedia Industry in a Race

Can you still remember the last time you waited for hours or even more, days just to get a copy of a newspaper? The last time you watched in a black and white T.V.? Used a film to capture moments and print the negatives? Well, negatives might still be handy nowadays, but it is seldom used. Because nowadays, everything is digital and all the advertisements that we see used high technologies.

And there would not be these amazing products, commercials, and advertisements if a multimedia industry wouldn't exist. Back then, Multimedia Industries especially here in the Philippines are in any ways, neglected. Filipinos would still cling to their culture and nature but as time passes, Filipinos were influenced and now are somehow catching up in the rapid progression of multimedia products, in general.

I want to focus on Multimedia when it comes to television programs and Multimedia Companies or the so-called networks are the ones in-charge and we can very well see their progress right from the start. Their network even expands to the whole country and some to other countries. For instance, GMA Network, no offense to its rival, but this network is growing bigger and bigger and even one of their programs has its own branch in other country, in other words, Multimedia Industries cannot be stopped. Lots of ideas fall on them that new and improved things come to pass. Multimedia Industries here in the Philippines, in my opinion is not far behind, we are catching up and lining with the others. Opportunities for us, aspiring practitioners, can't be handled with bare hands! 

A Self-Transformation

Transformation. It doesn't automatically mean to transform like the Transformers, or any other monsters, cartoons, animes that transform. It can also substitute the word "change". Over the past school year, I've seen a lot of changes in me, inside and obviously outside! Let me start with the outer side of myself! :D  We are all subject to change, especially physical  change. Who would dare be like unto a little child though he's already a grown-up? We can't perform certain things when we're little, right? That's why most kids want to grow up instantly so they could do things on their own, but that thought was proven to be wrong. Life is far more complicated when we grow up, small problems transform into super big problems! So, adults would rather stay as a little child.

But here in the GIF photos I made above, I didn't include my childhood days, yet you can see the changes that had happened to me physically from fourth year high school up to present. Well, yes I can say things were tough during high school days, but things became tougher now that I'm in college. When I'm in high school, the only major problem I worried about is the possibility of graduating, including final projects and examinations, other than that there's nothing else to worry about. But in college, even a tiny assignment is something to worry about let alone projects and examinations! These are stuffs that a college student wouldn't dare to belittle. Yes, I transformed physically, mentally and emotionally, so as my problems transformed itself.


And problem is already included in my inner side. My inner side that I want to include are those that are in the photos to the right that I compiled. These are assignments and projects I made from first year, first semester in college up to present. I didn't include my high school projects for they're mostly videos and they're nothing to be proud of, ha ha. And that's one big thing that transformed within me. My interests. As I said, during high school days, most of my works are videos 'cause I'm more interested in editing videos rather than editing photos. And when I stepped into college, and met our awesome professors my interest suddenly shifted to photo-editing. Maybe because Photoshop was introduced to me, and I love it! But now that I'm in my second year of college, my interest shifted to photography. Every little thing is indeed transforming, and we can never stop that. Every little thing in me changed or let's say, transformed, and even I can't stop it. And most of the time, I can hardly notice it. But that's life. Nothing is permanent. Change is essential and part of our everyday lives.   What matters most is the way we react about it, the way we treat changes in our lives, and how we can find good things in it. Let's embrace changes and live with it. Oh, and they say change, I say, self-transformation.
