The opening night happened last July 9, 2010 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Being a part of the print media (in a way LOL) has its perks, and I was able to get a pass from the Pinoy Parazzi office. I arrived in the venue at 7pm and was able to catch the trailers of the different movies competing at the New Breed, Shorts and Director’s Showcase category. The directors of the films featured this year were also introduced, and a lot of people were interested with the different themes presented (although most of them tackle political and social issues).

The main reason why I went there is for the screening of the opening film. If last year Martin and Alix collaborated with Piolo Pascual and other mainstream artists to produce the Brocka tribute film Manila, three lady directors joined forces for a film for women by women titled ‘Ganap na Babae’.

“Thank You and Ingat!” – John Lloyd Cruz

John Lloyd Cruz is undeniably one of the most talented actors in the country today. Not only that – he is also an effective product endorser. No wonder he has a number of deals under his belt including a pizza food chain, clothing line, shoe brand, mobile phone, canned good among others. Of course, the most-loved and sincere among them all is his Biogesic campaign with the popular tagline “Ingat!”

Most of his fans miss him already in the ABS-CBN Primetime Bida block. He was last seen as Armando in the Philippine version of I Love Betty La Fea where he was paired with long-time screen partner, Bea Alonzo. To be honest, I am a big John Lloyd Cruz-Bea Alonzo fanatic. I’ve seen all their movies – My First Romance, Now That I Have You, Close to You, All About Love, One More Chance and of course, Miss You Like Crazy!

PROJECT52WEEKS.COM – 52 Weeks, 52 Short Films

After acquiring my very own Panasonic DMC-LX3 as a Christmas gift to myself, I started my very own photoblog at Tumblr called LX3 Moments, wherein I will be posting one photo a day with a corresponding information about the photo. It is a known fact in the bloggers that photo hobbyist started with their own Project 365 Days.

Micamyx's Project52Weeks starts now!

Want to know the real reason why I chose the LX3 instead of buying another type of camera? I love it because it is handy, easy to use and I can possibly take HD clips. I am not a professional photographer. In fact, I don’t even plan to put watermarks on my photos (unless maybe if i am not as lazy as I am today). I simply want a good camera. That’s it.

Ok, enough of that :P Just last week, I mentioned to a friend that I am planning to start with my own online video blogging project. My aim for this one is to shoot at least one short film using my Panasonic DMC-LX3. I want it to be on-the-spot and spontaneous. I bought the domain right away and launched the site last Sunday :P
