On Cinemalaya, Gala Night Tech Glitches and REquieme-rloos

For four straight years, I’ve been supporting the Cinemalaya Film Festival. I’ve read articles about it when I was still based in Pangasinan and hoped that one day, I’d be able to catch the screening at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Being in the province with only limited number of movies to choose from made it hard for me. Yes, there’s a good number of pirated DVDs being sold there, but nothing beats the experience of watching a film in a movie house. These are made for the big screen anyway.

Loy Arcenas introduces the cast and crew of REquieme!

I have to admit that it is a dream of mine that one day, I’d come up the stage and introduce my film to the moviegoers. Present my cast members, my crew and all that. I would also love to attend the awards night and if deserving, be recognized with the hard work I’ve done.

But while that dream of mine is still on-hold, I am happy that Loy Arcenas finally introduced his sophomore film entitled REquieme!. With the realistic screenplay by Rody Vera and good direction of Loy Arcenas, it is already expected that this film will be a riot!

Things to Do While Seated on the Toilet

Toilets Relief When You Need It

Kinunan ni Dylan ang litratong ito habang ako’y pansamantalang namahinga sa isa sa mga kasilyang naka-display sa The Mind Museum noong Miyerkules. Wala kasi akong tulog nun kaya sabik akong makahanap ng upuan sana. Nagkataon na ‘eto naman ang bumungad sa aming pag-akyat sa ikalawang palapag. Nakakapangilabot ang larawang ito, pero gusto ko siya. Uma-artsy fartsy si Koyah. Buti na lang at walang sumingit na undin LOL.

Tama nga naman ang nakasulat d’yan. Toilets Relief When You Need It. Nakakaginhawa nga naman talaga kung nakaupo ka sa mahiwagang tronong ito. Dito mo nailalabas ang mga duming kailangang ilabas. Sa katunayan nga, nakaupo ako sa trono ngayon. Nagba-blog. Kanina ko pa kasi pinipilit magsulat sa mesa o sa kama, pero wala talaga akong mailabas. Tiningnan ko ulit ang Facebook profile ko at ‘eto kasi ang primary picture ko ngayon kaya ginawan ko na lang ng blog entry. Sayang nga naman ngayon ko lang pinasok ‘tong laptop ko rito. Pakinabangan na!

Ano pa nga ba ang mga pwedeng gawin habang nakaupo ka sa Kasilyas maliban sa jumebs, dyumingel at mag-blog? Eto na po ang ilan sa mga suhestiyon ko:

Take it Easy… Take it Easy!

Movies. Travel. Love. Life. Seven Weeks. For the past few days, I’ve been contemplating about these keywords in real life.

Take it Easy - Enjoy to the Fullest

Take it Easy – Enjoy to the Fullest

I’ve been chatting regularly with some close friends of mine whom I will call ‘Sizzy’ and ‘Badet’. Let me elaborate on what’s been bugging me lately that’s keeping me worried and anxious while in bed.

MOVIES – Last Sunday, I went to a big family reunion. I am impressed with the achievements of my relatives and it is good to know that some of them are known names in their respective fields. I saw some politicians, celebrities, chefs and a blogger named Mica (LOLWHUT). Family reunions never fail to amaze me and how I find it hard to talk and introduce myself to most of them. I am shy in real-life.
