Pinoy Cinerama

I love to watch Filipino films. But I do set a level of quality to the films I watch. Hindi naman kelangan pangFAMAS yung performance. Basta ba hindi masyadong mababaw. Yun bang katanggap tanggap yung story at quality of acting. Inaamin ko, meron kasi talagang Filipino films na such a bore, ambabaw na nga nung story, hindi pa maayos yung acting.

Meron akong kakilalang hindi na daw sya nanunood ng Filipino films. Boring daw kasi at sayang sa pera. Naalala ko sya nung nagbabasa ako ng libro ni Direk Joey Javier na Porn Again. Yung subject nya said the same thing. According to the book, yung thinking sector daw are always nagging those in the industry about the poor quality of materials that are presented in contemporary movies. Sabi pa din sa libro ni direk, pag nag-gamble naman na gumawa ng quality film, hindi mo rin naman maasahan yung mga kabilang sa thinking sector na yun.

Like yung Emir starring Frenceska Farr. Super ganda nung material as in quality talaga pero napapansin mo iilan lang din yung nanuod. Hindi man lang napuno yung sinehan. Nasan na ba yang thinking sector na yan? Baka naman 10% lang ng population ng Pilipinas yang thinking sector na yan ha?

Alam ko naman na medyo behind tayo technically, pero masasabi ko madaming movies natin ang de calibre na hindi lang nabibigyan ng shine because of the shrewd mentality na boring at sayang sa pera ang Filipino movies. Yung indie films narerecognize ng ibang bansa. I must admit na I'm a patron of Indie Films. marami rami na din akong napanood sa Sinehan. Merong maganda, merong ang sarap itapon!

Yung kakilala ko na yun na hindi nanunood ng Filipino movies, napag-alaman ko na nanuod sya ng isang Love Team Filipino Movie. I mean, sinabi nya saken na boring ang Filipino movie tas manbunood sya ng isang cheesy Filipino film? ano ba naman? anung kabobohan yan?

Siguro gone are the days yung mga FPJ movies and let's face the truth yung Dolpy type of comedy. I believe that we, the local moviegoers, are more intelligent that before. I agree na sana wag kami bigyan ng crap-like movies. Pero sana intindihin din ng mga madlang people that producing a movie is foremost an industry. Kaya nga nauso ang indie para kahit hindi bumenta ok lang. Mainstream is different. Kelangan bumenta. Kaya meron syang tried and tested formula na sinusunod para magkaron ng profit.

Ang masasabi ko lang sa thinking sector. Most of the Filipinos watch movies dahil gusto nilang magenjoy. Obviously, hindi kayo ang target ng marketing team ng movie na yun kung hindi yun patok sa panlasa nyo. Sana lang dont call Filipino movies flop because for people like me who doesnt have high standards that you have, I watch it because I enjoy it.

Malamang naalala mo sya sa commercial ng Nestea na ayaw maging member ng SMP (Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko). Hindi ka ba nabobother kung sino sya? Well ako, kilala ko na sya before pa. Well hindi naman personally, pero kilala ko sya dahil part sya ng guilty pleasure ko, ang show na Lipgloss. Ang name nya actually ay Neil Coleta.




Nakakaloka sa Lipgloss dahil puro ang gwagwapo at ang gaganda at sesexy nung mga cast (except yung joker na galing PBB teens). Actually si Caloy yung 2nd favorite guy ko sa Lipgloss. Pinaka-in love ako kay Edge played by Kevin Lapeña. Kakakilig kasi nung 4th season eh yung kasama si Lovi Poe. Anyhoo... Nakita din natin sya sa mga commercial an itu...

Voice Combo Sandwich: 6 Sense




NESTEA Episode 1: OK

Last week napanood ko si Neil sa Jillian: Namamasko po. So Kapuso na kaya sya? I hope so! Para makita ko pa sya lagi!! More power sayo Neil!

from left Michelle Williams, James Van der Beek, Joshua Jackson, Katie Holmes


Naalala ko super adik na adik ako dito. Parang yung addiction ko sa Charmed. Ewan ko. Basta mahilig ako sa Teen Oriented shows. Pero syempre ang talagang una tumatak saken na foreign ay etong Dawson's Creek. Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan yung love triangle ni Dawson, Joey, at Pacey! Yung naguguluhan si Joey kay Dawson at Pacey. Ay! Bonggang bongga talaga! Kaso wala akong mahanap ng pangmarathon ko sa Carriedo eh. Anyhoo... HALA SINGALONG GALORE!!!

Ngayon, hindi ko na masyadong nakikita si James van der Beek. Pero naalala ko nag-guest star sya sa Ugly Betty. Si Michelle Williams, sya yung nabyuda ng actor na si Heath Ledger na kasama nya din sa award winner movie, Brokeback Mountain. Alam naman natin na si Katie Holmes ay ang jusawa ni Tom Cruise. At si Joshua Jackson ngayon ay kasama sa hit show na Fringe.

Ang pumalit na ngayon sa Dawson's Creek sa puso ko ay Gossip Girl. XOXO!!!

Mag-aartista?

Photobucket


Hindi pa din ako makaget-over sa sinabi saken ng dati kong prof sa mga dreaded subjects Unit Ops 3 & 4 at Reaction Kinetics na si Dean Laurito nung umatend ako ng Testimonial ng mga batchmates ko na pumasa na sa ChE Board.

"Iba na itsura mo ah. Mag-aartista kaba? baka sa susunod na makita ka namin nasa TV kana?


Ako? Moi? Mag-aartista? ASA NAMAN!!! Ni sa hinagap hindi ko naimagine na magiging artista ako. Siguro kasi ngayon lang nya nakita na mahilig ako magkulay ng buhok. Tapos tahimik lang ako sa klase nya. Sa totoo lang, medyo nakakaloka kasi sa classroom eh. Kaya ako tahimik kasi ayokong matawag. Wahahahah!

Anyway, kung makikita man ako sa TV, kung hindi cooking show, gusto ko sana Science and Technology Magazine show. Parang yung Tomorrow Today ng DWTV sa Germany. Kasi wala tayong ganun. Wala nang Sineskwela, moreover, pambata pa yung show na yun. Yung show na naiisip ko yung para ishowhsowcase yung mga researches na ginagawa ng mga FIlipino researchers. Kasi namamangha tayo sa mga researches ng ibang bansa pero hindi natin alam na may exceptional researches din naman ng ginagawa dito sa bansa natin. Tapos magfeature ng mga Brilliant minds both young and experienced alike. Tapos iexplain pano ginagawa ang mga certain consumer products (driven by my profession of being a Chemical Engineer siguro). Pwede din kasi syang gamiting alternative educational material. Tapos iexplain yung mga scientific procedures na applicable sa atin ngayon. Example yung DNA processing, pano ba sya nagagamit as Forensic Evidence, anu ba yung ginagawa dun sa DNA at nalalaman kung sino ang may-ari nun. Yung ganun. Siguro kaya hindi sya naaccept sa court, because there is no ample information given to those people para iopen yung mind nila sa mga ganung technology. Actually surprised ako na hindi masyadong accepted ng courts natin dito sa Pilipinas yung DNA processing kahit pa may law na about this. I mean cmon. Hindi ba sila nanunuod ng CSI? Goodness!

Gusto ko sana bago ako mawala sa mundong ito, magawa ko to. Kaya kelangan mag-workhard para makabili ng Technical Stuffs like cams, cables, etc. O kaya kung merong producers dyan! OPEN AKO FOR TALKS! CHOS! Shocks! Kaya to! I swear gagawin ko talaga to!

My Bestfriend's Boyfriend

Well, magkaiba yung kwento namin ng movie ni Marian Rivera at Richard Gutierrez. Bukod sa Homosexual ang theme ng story naming ito. Hindi ang inaagawan ang nasaktan kundi yung allegedly na mangaagaw. AKO yun. Ako yung mang-aagaw.

Dumating nako sa point na buhay ko na naubos na ang galit ko sa kaibigang putik ko na ito. Siguro dahil hindi ko na rin ito nilalagyan ng fuel. Napagod ako sa kakaisip. Siguro dahil marami na akong free time, nakakapagisip ako ng maayos. Pero inaamin ko, hindi ko pa rin sya magawang mapatawad. Ganun talaga siguro pag nasaktan ng lubos.

Never in my life na maiisip ko na mang-aagaw ako ng boyfriend nang iba. Kahit na on some point liberal ang pag-iisip ko, medyo conservative ako pagdating sa isyu ng relasyon ng iba. Tapos kaibigan ko pa. Kaya para akong sinaksak ng malalim nung nalaman ko na gusto ko daw agawin ang jowawiz nya.

I bled. For I long time, I bled. I bled in misery. Tumigil ang mundo ko sa pag-ikot. Nakalog ang utak ko. Then I stood up, I did my best to piece up the pieces ng sarili ko na kumalat habang nagmumukmok ako. Isa isa. Dahan dahan. Tapos nung nabuo ko ang sarili ko. Pinilit kong ngumiti. Tapos, nagsimula ng umikot ulet ang mundo ko. Kaya nung merong planong reconciliation ang mga kaibigan namin. Hindi na ako pumayag. Bukod pa dun yung fact na sya naman ang unang umayaw.

Pero ngayon iniisip ko, tama naman sila, sayang yung friendship. Maybe we are both at fault. Siguro dapat inintindi ko pa rin sya. Siguro hindi ako naging overprotective to both of them. Siguro I should have just let them grow on their own. I just hope na happy sila just like I am now.

FYI
Actually, lagi kong nakakalimutan yung name nung guy. wahahaha! wala tuloy akong masagap na update sa kanila! wahahahah!

Best Day of My Life by Jesse McCartney

Photobucket

Share ko lang tong kanta ni Jesse McCartney for the movie A Cinderella Story starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray.


Best Day of my Life
Jesse McCartney
[ Verse 1 ]
Woke up around a half past 10
Cant believe that I'm late again
Put down about a quart of caffeine
To start my pulse and then
I grab my jeans off the floor
Then I hit the door
Its just the same old same
It goes to show you never know
When everything's about to change

[ Chorus ]
Just another day
It started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life

[ Verse 2 ]
Cant say exactly what it was
She's not the usual type
She wore a cowboy hat
With her red Prada boots
And a Gwen Stefani smile
Then she pulled out a pen
And surprised me when
She wrote her number on my hand
Then she was gone
But from now on
I'm gonna be a different man

[ Chorus ]
Just another day
It started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life

[ Bridge ]
I guess it goes to show
You never really know
When everything's about to change

[ Chorus ] x2
Just another day
It started out like any other
Just another girl
Who took my breath away
Then she turned around
She took me down
Just another day that I
Had the best day of my life

.. Started out like any other [ x2 ]
.. Had the best day of my life
.. The best day of my life [ until fade ]



I so Love this song!

Kathy Reichs Books

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket


I'm a super duper fan of the hit FOX TV show BONES. One of its Executive Producer and also serves as its Consultant is Kathy Reichs, the author of the Temperance Brennan Books. Tempe is also the lead character in the series Bones.

I just read three of the books. I found them on sale in NBS for 99php each. HARDBOUND FIRST EDITIONS. Eff!!!

Tempe, like the author, is a Forensic Anthropologist. In a nutshell, when there is no means for identification like dental records, fingerprints or tissue samples. Dr. Brennan is the go girl.

I believe that Kathy Reichs watches Crime shows there are 3 instances where she cited reference to other shows. Like Grisom from the original CSI, Horacio from CSI Miami and the Briscoe from the Law and Order Series.

Good Reads! Gogogo!

Only one regret

Photobucket


Hinanda ko na ang sarili ko sa pag-alis ko sa callcenter. Simula pa lang alam kong aalis din ako at hindi ako magtatagal. Hindi naman dahil sa nature na work. Dahil alam ko na iba ang calling ko. Iba yung passion ko. Lalong lalo na, iba yung nakasanayan kong pamamalakad.

Pero ganun talaga siguro ako. Madali akong napalapit sa mga nakasama ko sa callcenter. Kahit ilang months lang kami nagkasma, aaminin ko nagenjoy at napamahal na din sila saken. Kaya siguro pinili kong hindi nalang magpakita at magparamdam sa kanila nung nag-AWOL ako. Sigurado kasi akong magbabago ang desisyon ko na umalis pag may constant communication pa din kami.

Actually, nung huling araw ko, nakita ko yung iba sa kanila. Medyo malungkot man ako kasi hindi ko na sila makakasama katulad ng dati, alam ko ay ito ay all fo rthe best. Nagyakapan dahil masaya na nagkita-kita kami ulet. It also is the last hug because last day ko na din yun sa company.

Pero meron akong isang regret nung umalis ako. Hindi ako nagpaalam sa isang tao na masasabi kong special saken. No no no! Hindi pang boyfriend material. Basta. Para maintindihan mo, ang pinakamemorable na sinabi nya saken ay, "you're making me proud". Yung simpleng line na yun, yun yung naging driving force ko para pumasok araw araw. Yung kahit ba pagod na pagod ako, sasampalin ko ang sarili ko. Bumangon ka hoy! Nandun sya!

Pero naubusan na din ang power nung line na yun, basta nung nagsnap ako wala na. Nung last day ko, nakita ko sya, gusto ko syang lapitan para sabihin na aalis nako. Pero nahihiya ako. Gusto ko sabihin sa kanya na grateful ako sa lahat ng binigay nyang advice saken. Na i'll treasure them forever at kung pwede ko syang gamitin, gagamitin ko sya whenever applicable sa field na papasukin ko. Ayoko kasing umiyak in front of the madlang people of the floor kasi talagang special sya saken. Kaya baka pag nagpaalam ako sa kanya ngumawngaw ako sa floor noh!

Hinding hindi ko sya makakalimutan. And I'll strive to be like him when in turn na tataas din ang position ko.
goodbye to you.... Kahit dito man lang, masabi ko ang gusto kong sabihin sayo.

Overhaul

Photobucket


The real you is like when you open a gift, you tear the wrapper and reveal what's inside.

Marami akong pagkakamaling nagawa. Pero konti lang sa mga pagkakamaling yun ang pinagsisisihan ko. May mga sadyang gawa ng tadhana, at yung iba plain stupidity lang. Pero ngayon nagiisip ako. I'm starting to give my feelings important again. Mahirap kasi maging martyr eh! Hindi na nga naappreciate yung effort mo, puro pa sakit sa damdamin mo yung ibibigay syo. It's not like something was done wrong, it's just that nothing was done at all.

Siguro it's high time na bigyan ko ang gusto ng importansya. Yung bang. ME TIME. Hindi puro HE or THEM TIME. Napagod na din talaga siguro ako. Eto nanaman ako. Eto nanaman ang sinasabi ko. Pero hindi ko rin alam kung hanggang kelan ako magiging matigas about this. Experience tells me na ngayon lang to. Tas magbabago nnaman ang isip ko.

Pero happy ako kasi almost two months na akong walang iniisip na iba. 2nd Monthsary na sa Jan 18 ang ALL ABOUT ME phase ko. Siguro matatapos lang to pag nakakita na ako ng taong worth it para sa emotional investment ko. Hindi ko kelangan ng boyfriend. Hindi naman na kelangan pang bigyan nag definite name nung katayuan ng taong yun. Basta masaya ako, at wala syang ilang saken. OK nako dun.

Time for the best of me to come out! Not for anyone else but for MYSELF!

FREEDOM!!!!

Photobucket
FREEDOM!!!!


I can never explain the feeling when I finally stood up and said to myself. I'm done with this! It happened actually in the 10th floor pantry. I am not a retard. I am done shouldering this! I'm through! It really took a lot of thought before I exclaimed these words. I was holding on to this metal bar in the pantry while looking at the TV. At the same time, I was thinking of reasons why I should still stay in my line of work. *blank* well... for a minute or two. Then I thought of the seaweeds, and then my friends. But then I thought about what happened. Instantaneously, I bolted to the elevator, went down the the 8th floor pantry, withdrew some dough and off I went to Starbucks then rode a jeep home!

Few days after I received a Written Memo from my TL stating that I should reply to it within 5 days, which I did and also I enclosed my resignation letter. I sent it through LBC Puregold Tayuman. Before that, I called in to our HR department to ask how can I resign. The girl mentioned that I should send a letter to my TL and she'll be the one who'll endorse it to HR. So I left that particular partof my life for a while and sonn after, I received another letter now from an HR officer. Basically, the letter states the same thing that my TL sent me. So I called HR and asked if I still need to reply to this new letter since I already sent a reply to my TL's. Well, they said I don't need to reply to this new one given that the one I sent was not successfully delivered. But LBC called the reception and clarified if there is *insert my TL's name here* in the building. Tomorrow, LBC will deliver finally the envelop of my future. Then after still not hearing from HR, I decided to call up again. OK, the method I thought was not the right one. Apparently, I need to go directly to the office and finish the paperworks myself.

December 30, I woke up at 4:30 am from the alarm of my cellphone. I contemplated for a bit if I will really get up and go to the office or just deal with it the following year. My brain won by landslide and the next thing I know, I'm already holding my bath towel and walking straight to the bathroom. The ride to the office is short. Lucky for me, the jeep I rode passed a group of Girl Scouts (actually a troop). They filled the jeep and we flew (super fast!) to the LRT Tayuman Station.

I entered the building. Good, no one has seen me yet. I pressed the button of the elevator and went straight to HR. When I entered the room, I thought that no one was present. Good thing someone went in and I asked for the HR officer that I talked to. OK, since my resignation letter was not received (when I have it tracked with LBC, its status is "refused to receive"), the HR officer asked me if I can write another one and she'll just print it out. Good thing, I always save a backup copy in my yahoo mail. So we accessed it and she printed it out. I signed it and then she asked me to go upstairs and asked my TL to sign it then to an SOM. Then she said that if my TL is not here, I can ask other TLs to sign it.

Piff! I went straight to the elevator and went up. And whoah surprise! My TL!!!! Perhaps, it was really meant to be! I thought it's their off so I figured I would need to look for a TL who can sign my resignation papers. But lo and behold! When the elevator opened, My TL is there! Hurray! She helped me finish my paperworks. Then we went back to the HR and they gave me the forms to complete my Clearance. 1st for my TL, she just filled in the information in the form and signed in. Then for an OM, I went in and got signature from this OM that I like. Well he's kind and very commanding. Then I finished up with Facilities, then HR. It took me passed 12 pm when I finished.

THIS FEELING OF FREEDOM IS UNEXPLAINABLE!!!! I really deserve this! After all the stress that I had when I was working. I really really deserve this! I can handle stress. I mean, I like handle a handful or orgs when I was studying. But the level of stress in a call center and also being an SME. It's way way bigger! So now, I am finally able to do things I want. Reading, cooking, listening to music, lakwatsa, parapara and not just sleeping all day.

HINDI NAKO NAKADUTY!!!! IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREE!!!! YES!
