Holy Week 2010 in Dagupan City Day 1
Last Wednesday night, I decided the last minute that I will go to Dagupan City, my hometown and spend my Holy Week break there. My grandparents went to Naga for a family reunion and my usual companions went to different provinces.

I didn’t like the idea that I’ll be stuck here in Manila alone and I felt like i needed to go outside of the Metro in order for me to be inspired to write a screenplay. After chatting with my college friends through Facebook, I decided to pack my things and ride a bus to Pangasinan.
And it was one hella ride.
Bubbly Maki the Sushi turns 23!
I would like to take this opportunity to greet my online friend turned barkada Maria Kristina De Guzman Eduardo a.k.a. Maki a happy, happy birthday!
Just last year, Maki and the rest of the Nyokers got closer. I assume that the regular readers of her blog are aware of the fact that the year 2009 served as one of the most challenging years of her life. She is like a passenger in a rollercoaster ride – she can be very, very scared and angry. Later on, she is in her happiest mood.
Someone just turned 23 today!
Being Maki’s friend is not easy (LOLOLOL I kid 
). She can be unpredictable at times, but we understand her. Just late last year, she followed in Cebu and later on stayed on her own to take pictures and spend some ‘me’ time. When she got back, she wanted to do something relevant in her life. She wants to change into a stronger woman who is capable of dealing with problems coming her way – no matter how small or big that is. She wants to bring her old happy self back and she wants to push through with a career she loves. Wait, did i mention that she is also a sweet friend?
Staying at Jupiter Suites Makati
The last Saturday of January was pretty tiring yet fulfilling day on my part. Let’s just say that I am working on a very serious project that day. My team and I had to go to San Juan, then to Makati then back to San Juan again. The traffic jam added to the stress and worries of each and every one of us. I’m just lucky that all the crew members were dedicated to their temporary roles that day.
Tired but Happy at Jupiter Suites Makati
At around 4pm, we found ourselves working at Jupiter Suites Makati. It is one of the most-recommended budget hotels in Makati by the bloggers. It is located at the corner of Makati Avenue and Jupiter Suites. We checked the rates of Jupiter Suites and it really suits those who wants to go and stay in Makati without spending too much money.
Why I Will Never Forget 2009
Wow. It’s 2010 already? I can’t believe that I am now trying my very best to write a blog entry about 2009. I remember writing my 2008 Year Ender post the other year with some disappointments related to my career (Being jobless at Christmas Day gives you a week of weakness, I swear!). I thought it’s the end of the world for me (uhm, not really. I’m a fighter, baby!). I am happy to inform you though that I started 2009 with much enthusiasm and ended it with a big smile on my face.
January 2009 - Kuya Bunso Cast and Crew
It was in January where I finally decided to push through with my passion in film making. With the script I worked on during my stay at Sinelab, I managed to talk to some of my blogger friends to help me out with my first film entitled Kuya Bunso. With Jehzeel and Cai and the rest of the Nyoks, I did push through with my first film in a limited budget. I really can’t believe I was able to write, produce and direct the film. I wanted to join a short film festival that time, but I didn’t anticipate the fact that post-production is the most expensive and time-consuming part. My 24 minute debut film made me cry when i first saw it. I mean, yeah. I really cried T_T. I owned a new phone too and took a lot of camwhore pics with the nyoks. I bought a lot of domains that month which proved that i am an impulsive domain buyer lolz
Bittersweet November
Bittersweet November - Just like a box of assorted chocolates
On my so-called secret blog, I wrote an entry about the heartaches the month of November gave me on the first week. Let’s just say that things didn’t go my way. Expectations and goals were not met. I even ranted that November has always been a bad month for me.
But I was wrong.
This month is about to end, but before I say hello to December, I would like to share some of my realizations made in the past few weeks….
