3RD ANNUAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL

Posted in Events, About Me, School, Movies on June 12th, 2005
Our film became the 2nd Best Short Film. We’re just behind the grand prize winner. At medyo naasar lang ako dahil sa favoritism at pagka-unfair sa part ng mga organizers. 

Hindi naman sa nagyayabang pero may nagsabi sa akin na yung film nga namin ang dapat nanalo. Kasi naman, 2 rules ang na-violate ng winning film eh. Una, lumagpas sila sa 10 minute na time limit. The film clocked in at 11:27. Pangalawa, they didn’t submit the proper format. It should be in VCD format. Pano’ ko nalaman na hindi VCD pinasa nila? Kasi the movie was played in Windows Media Player at nung binuksan yung folder…ang mga file name ng mga files don ay hindi AVSEQ01.DAT. Kaya pala maganda yung picture quality kasi uncompressed yung video format.

ANNIVERSARY OF MY DATE OF BIRTH

Posted in About Me on June 10th, 2005
Bakit nga pala birthday ang tawag sa birthday? Eh hindi naman talaga birthday ang “birthday” mo. Tulad ko, isa lang birthday ko…June 10, 1986. Ngayon, 25th Anniversary na ng birthday ko. (Ay, sorry…19 lang pala…papalitan ko na yung profile ko…) 

FACT: Dapat June 19 ako ipapanganak e. Ka-birthday ko dapat si Rizal. Pero masyado yata akong excited na lumabas sa mundo kaya yun…June 10.

Kadiri no? June 10. 2 syllable lang. Ang pangit pakinggan. 2 syllable nga lang pangalan ko (ALVIN) pati birthday ko 2 syllable din? Buti pa yung may birthday ng September maganda pakinggan. Proud naman ako maging Gemini… Read more »

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Posted in About Me on June 7th, 2005
Minsan, hindi ko maiwasan mag-judge ng tao base sa itsura nila. I mean, yung ibang tao, judging by their looks, mukha silang bobo. Lalo na yung mga baguhang artista. Alam nyo yung mga myembro ng “The Bodies”? Di ba? Itsura pa lang nila (at yung style nilang magdamit at mag-make-up), parang ang alam lang nila ay magtitili at mag-ayos ng istura. Hanggang porma lang. Ilang beses na napatunayan na bobo talaga yung ilang mga artista lalo yung mga baguhan. Sa hirap ba naman ng buhay…nag-a-artista na lang kaysa mag-aral…

THANK GOD IT’S JUST A DREAM

Posted in About Me on June 6th, 2005
I had a strange dream yesterday morning. I dreamed that my youngest sister (Mariz) died. I can’t tell you all the small details because this entry might take too long to read in one seating. 

When I realize that Mariz will never go home again and our family is forever incomplete, I cried aloud. And then I opened my eyes and I realized that I was lying on my bed. I just had a terrible dream. And then I cried silently and thanked God that it was just a dream.

It is so strange that I had this dream exactly at Mariz’ 14th birthday (June 5th). I remember that just a week ago, my friend’s mother died of cancer and I saw that family’s grief. I always become emotional when I saw other people lost their loved one. Maybe I’m just worried. I can’t help but think when will it happen to me. I’m afraid to lose my family. I love them….
