Week 4: Discussion

-

 1. What triggered the behavior of Eric? 

- In a relationship, there is a certain part called the honeymoon stage where everything seems to be perfect. You are blinded by the concept of a perfect relationship and you are fascinated with the two of you staying together till the end of time. But everything has its end and in this case, that is when Eric let jealousy take over him. He became a manipulative boyfriend that makes the whole relationship toxic. It has been easy for Shirley to do what she has done. 

2. "Lumiit yung mundo ko... parang unti-unting sumikip... nakulong ako sa kaming 2 lang..." What does this mean? Why did the girl say this? 

- When the honeymoon stage of a relationship ended, the negative things that you didn't notice in the past seemed to pile up and made you uncomfortable. But Eric got things out of his hands and made Shirley’s life a living hell. The relationship was filled with toxic substances that made her think that her world diminished. She was only limited to do things he allowed her to do. She can’t live her life to the fullest which is the opposite of one’s relationship. 

3. Give your own reaction/reflection about the video. Include your learnings/realizations. 

- I learned that when you are in a relationship there are certain sacrifices that must be made. Not everything that happens to your partner should have you involved. Sometimes you should let her/him be on his/her own so that he/she can be the greatest version of himself/herself. All you have to do is support them and always be with them in times they need you. In return, you should get the same thing because that is what an equal relationship is all about.

Week 3: Written Work

  1. Why is COMMITMENT important in relationships? - Commitment and love are the two factors to have a long-lasting and healthy relationship. If one is absent, a relationship would not work, or it may work but for the short-term only. Commitment serves as the foundation of permanence and solidity between a couple. It is a decision to give yourself to someone else with the intention of staying together forever even though life happens, things get hard, you struggle, you fight, and you may want to give up and split up. There’s no attitude that the relationship is going to end “when the fun stops.” Emotional closeness, love, trust, and mutual support are built and improved in a committed relationship. After all, if one wants a relationship that can withstand the ups and downs, it needs commitment. As simple as it is, commitment is the glue in the relationship. 2. What is "CLOSURE" in a relationship? Why is it important? - I remember my close friend who was engaged in a rel

1. Why is the title called "Chameleon"? - A chameleon is a reptile that changes its body color to make them invisible. Sometimes it is their form of adaptation to the environment. The television commercial is entitled “Chameleon” because Cam (the main character) is always changing her lifestyle and personality based on her boyfriend. She believes that having the same interests, hobbies, and wants is the key to having a perfect relationship. As simple as it is, like a chameleon, they both change to adapt to their surroundings.  2. Which specific instances in the video showed that Cam lost herself? - For me, Cam lost herself from the beginning until the 3rd boyfriend she had. It is obvious that every time she changes her appearance, how she dresses, and her personality is clear evidence that she is not in her true form. I believe that c hanging a part of your personality is also changing and letting go of something you are because you are not in your own personality. Maybe Cam
