This Journal will Actually Change your Life as it did with mine

0 comments
Last year I got this JOURNAL for FREE. I was supposed to do a comparison with it and Starbuck's "leather-covered-collect-the-stickers-to-get-one-thingy" but hey, it's incomparable! As I say it, if you are looking for a 2010 journal, here's the tip: for a certified coffee lover ,wanting to know the history and nitty gritty of coffee, go get Starbucks's (FYI, they look the same as Free Speech's now so no more leather covers to go gaga with) But if you believe there's more to life,then Grab The Journal that Actually Changed my Life for 2010! Powerbooks and Fully Booked are "the stores" for journal hunting!

I never thought my 2009 pages will be so used up. As a hands on mom of four boys, I'm a very busy one indeed. I need to schedule everything: daily routines, visits to their pediatrician, even create here their immunization chart(written at the back) , write each of their school activities and books to bring for the day, then plan on our budget allocation and grocery list etc!!


So when I started on January's pages, I got so hooked that I kept writing. I ended up using all spaces of its pages. Jotting down things to do, to accomplish, goals for a week, dreams for the month, parenting seminar dialogues, SMS greetings ,huh, almost anything at those small spaces I could find.




This Journal Actually Changed my Life for 2009. It introduced me to international celebrations and advocacies to be part of. It has a mood chart and a health check that monitors quarterly. It's also my son's coloring book when we're waiting in line at the bank or doctor's offices.
Oh well, here's what my very well used Journal looks like, or shall I say, I'd take you to a peek at my 2009 life. And I'm sticking to it's concept as my journal for the coming 2010.


































If only I could grab one more for 2010 from the guys that gave this for JOURNAL for FREE!

My 10 month old baby boy does wonders with his innocence and beauty

0 comments
I will blog and brag about Johannes' milestones so when the time comes,at least,he'll get to read this.But please don't get me wrong, not all toddlers have the same activities at the same period of time.To each his own development.No such standards to be so normal.

What he does nowadays,let me count the ways;

1.Sitting alone and picking things to put in his mouth even slippers are bitten

2.Standing with full balance but in a short span of time

3.attempting to do 3 steps-maybe that true why they call it baby steps...

4.Strengthening his knees by doing up and down and multiple squats

5.clapping his hands for appreciation.with him, gone are the "close open" "align" "a tok" "apir" kiddie performances

6.While you rock him to sleep, he hums a lullabye to himself.But squeaks when he changes his positon in bed and demands to be pacified with a suck!

7.Dancing to "Billie Jean",the only Michael Jackson song he'd dance.No kidding,even if you play "Beat It" or "Black and White",no reaction to it. I guess it's his way of saying "those others?not my type, Ma"

8.Mumbling the titles "ati"(for ate)"lolo lolo lolo"(playing with his tongue) "papa" (upon seeing his papa arrive home from work)He rarely says "MAMA" and that saddens me.The only time we can hear him say it is when he is so uncomfortable or scared.Trying to be brave at first johannes?Kapag puno na ang salot,Nanay,SOS.

9.Oh and also he demands "didi" when he wants to be breastfed. Yup, I'm still lactating after Jayrob was born-5 years straight.Gosh!

10.With 4 teeth up and 2 down,don't bite my nipples yet but just keep smiling ,anak ,for you continue to amaze us all!

Pastor Clem Guillermo:Parenting 101

0 comments
The Supreme Parents Council (SPC)of The Holy Redeemer School Of Kalookan(HRSK) in Franville V Caloocan City hosts Family days every year.But with Tita Cristy Esteras as the president for this school year,it was good she invited Pastor Clem Guillermo of the Back to the Bible Ministry to enlighten(and enlighten was I indeed)the parents of Grade 4 and high school student or shall I say, Apayao's family,as teacher Dory puts it.

At First,Ma'am Apayao welcomed us parents by sharing her reflections gained from the Ateneo workshop she attended:How is Family,Parent,Teacher Defined nowadays.She used the analogy that parents are teachers and those teachers are pencils-leaving a mark on the characters of each child.

Then Pastor Clem started the lecture with the topic on understanding your teens by understanding yourself.It all boils down to our Parenting "origin"(if we can call such)How were your parents with you?Now,How a Parent are you today?

More has been said but the jist of the 3 hour meeting were:
EQUAL MUTUAL RESPECT and ADAPTATION to each child you have.
Kids at the age of 3,5,7 are the most needy in terms of emotional and spiritual TOGETHERNESS.
Fathers must be involved.Leave a legacy and impact the holistic development of each child.
Mothers need to be HAPPY and be in love with thy self to create a happier atmosphere for all.

Needless to say,the family is the beginning of all good deeds.
Let us be AWARE so as not to have more "damaged" kids.
Let them grow.
Let them learn
Let them go.

Biyaya ng Buhay - Community Ritual

0 comments
On Sunday, we are having a community ritual to bless the self and bless the Earth.

It is a time of releasing stress from both natural and human-made calamities we recently experienced and witnessed. And to remind ourselves once more that life, in its varied forms, offer so much blessing to us.

In a manner that is both creative and educative, we will learn more about climate change.

It will also serve as a 2nd-level de-briefing for people from Baranggay Silangan who were adversely affected by "Ondoy" for them, and each of us, to re-claim a positive perspective of creation.

Young people, teachers, social workers, counselors, church workers, those who need to heal from "Ondoy', healers and lovers of creation are invited..... .


Please e-mail back, call or text through the numbers provided above to reserve seats. Seats are limited.


Please pass.

Blessings,

UPFI screenings and events this December

0 comments
The UP Film Institute once more affirms its advocacy for human rights with this year’s edition of Cine Veritas – the annual festival with focus on socially relevant films that uphold the plight of the underprivileged and marginalized sectors of society. Main features include titles that are the current pride of Philippine cinema: Pepe Diokno’s “Engkwentro” (Best Picture of the Orrizonti Section and Best Debut Film at Venice); Ralston Jover’s “Bakal Boys” (Netpac Prize at Cinemalaya Cinco, Dragons and Tigers Special Mention at Vancouver, Golden Alexander Special Mention at Thessaloniki, Labor Film Prize at Torino) and Ferdie Balanag’s “Walking the Waking Journey,” the acclaimed documentary that made waves at this year’s Cinemalaya with its account of a Himalayan monk’s epic voyage.

A gesture of solidarity for the human rights cause is extended by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with the free presentation of “Women in Shroud” – an exposé of the arbitrary legal system in Iran endured by women accused of adultery and sentenced to the death penalty. Dedicated women’s rights’ activists one of whom is Shadi Sadr, the recipient of this year’s Human Rights Defenders Tulip Award in the Netherlands, are portrayed in their collective effort to help victims appeal and overturn their death sentences.

Completing the Cine Veritas screening line-up is another Philippine production, “Marlon,” Best Documenary Winner at the 2008 Cinemanila International Film Festival.

Apart from screenings, the Cine Veritas festival hallmarks as well exhibits, fora, performances in cultural nights at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery mounted by various artists groups led by Concerned Artists of the Philippines, Southern Tagalog Exposure, Ugnayan ng Nagkakaisang Artista, SILIP, Tudla and Ugat-Lahi Collective.

The UP Film Institute wraps up its December 2009 screenings with a distinguished selection of Italian contemporary cinema courtesy of the Embassy of Italy. Six films are featured, namely, Luciano Melchionna’s “Gas”; Angelo Longoni’s “Caravaggio”; Francesco Amato’s “Ma Che Faccio Qui” (What I’m Doing Here); Giacomo Campiotti’s “Mai Piu Come Prima” (Never Again as Before); Massimo Andrei’s “Mater Natura”; Roberto Faenza’s “I Vicere” (The Viceroys).

BUNGA - TAMA ’09, the Tupada Action and Media Art 6th Tupada International Visual Performance Festival, kicks off on December 7, 2009 at the Samba-Likhaan, Quezon City. The annual live art event will commence with a performance from Bumbo Villanueva and an art talk/discussions of art practices by foreign participants. The next day, December 8, TAMA ’09 goes to the Ateneo Art Gallery for a short workshop/symposium, while December 9 brings the event to the Jorge B. Vargas Museum in UP Diliman. Performances by local and international artists will be held right after forums on live art practice for the three consecutive days.


Baler, Aurora hosts this year's provincial leg from December 10 to 13, with artist talks, video presentations, workshops and performances at the Museo ng Baler and Ermita Park. Yuan Mor’O Ocampo, pioneering organizer of live art festival PIPAF, will host the artist discussion. True to Tupada Action and Media Art's thrust for grassroots art education by siting performance in public space, there will be plenty of indoor, outdoor and even beachside performances for the duration of TAMA '09.


With a pre-event exhibition opening at the Big & Small Art Co. located at the 4th floor of SM Megamall Building A on December 5 showcasing paintings from TAMA artists and supporters, BUNGA - TAMA '09 brings fruition to individual concepts and collective visions of body, time, space, action, and sound performance as an ever-expanding and dynamic art genre. All exhibitions, art talks and performances are free and open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to attend.


Tupada started in 2002 with ambush performances by artists from diverse disciplines in various public spaces, exposing the masses to the artists’ creative expression where they themselves were – on an overpass, in open parks, streets, cafes and alternative art spaces. It has since grown into an art collective holding international art events, establishing connections with local and foreign artists in the spirit of cultural and information exchange and getting together in creating an independent ground for art expressing concerns. TAMA aims to bring performance art in the Philippines further, involving new media and technology as currently available material and equipment to tackle issues, articulating them in today’s language.


International performance artists Cai Qing (China), Xing Xin (China), Sally Ng (Hongkong), Adina Bar-On (Israel), Midori Kadokura (Japan), Tanaka Teruyuki (Japan), Aye Ko (Myanmar), Barbara Sturm (Switzerland) and Aor Nopawan (Thailand) have been invited to participate in this year's event, along with Filipino artists Patrick "Kinigtot" Bacolor, Sherwin Carrillo, Patrick Chong, Jhay Colis, Thom Daquioag, Boyet De Mesa, Rommel Espinosa, EXIST Sound Art Group (Erick Calilan, PJ Soliven, Cris Garcino and Roger Lopez, Jon Romero), Bunch Garcia, Mitch Garcia, Ceej Gomera, Ian Madrigal, Marlon Magbanua, Vim Nadera, Yuan Mor'O Ocampo, Kaye O'Yek, Sam Penaso, Trix Syjuco, Wire Tuazon, Bumbo Villanueva and Mannet Villariba.


BUNGA - TAMA ’09 is supported by the Japan Foundation Manila, Samba-Likhaan Foundation, Ateneo Art Gallery, Jorge B. Vargas Museum, the Governor’s Office - Province of Aurora, the Embassy of Switzerland, Embassy of Israel, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Center for Community and Cultural Development, Heinrich Boell Stiftung, Ayala Museum, Museo de Baler, ASCOT, Baler Central School, AHAC, Tourism Department of Baler.

For more details, please call the TAMA'09 Secretariat at +6327104045, +639157706859 (Thom) and +639208603048 (Rommel). You may also email tupada.ph@gmail.com and view TAMA on the web via www.tamatupada.multiply.com.

Why is there Calderon dolphin killings in Denmark?Why Denmark,why?

0 comments
Denmark should be embarrased with their acts. Their sea is stained in red not because of anything chemical or by nature but merely by the killings in one of their Festivals.

And this is because of the cruelty that civilized men of society kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.
This happens every year in Faroe island in Denmark . In this group dynamic, the main participants are young teens to let everybody know that they are turning to be adults and mature....What duh?!!
This is their celebration and it's fun for them. Everyone is a participant,even us looking here. So go to the petition site to STOP THIS INSANITY!

By the way,FYI, the Calderon dolphins, like all the other species of dolphins,are near extinction and interact with men for play and friendship .
They don’t die instantly; so these "men",or better yet,boys,cut the dolphins 3 times with thick hooks. And celebrate to the dolphins loud extreme grim like the crying of a new born child.
They wait until the dolphins suffer. And there is no bit of compassion from the intellectual Danes while this sweet creature slowly struggles to swim in its own blood

STOP this!
Stop the INSANITY!
Here is the petition site

Engaging the Moral Imagination in Mindanao

0 comments

Bringing the Mindanao conflict into a new light to the public has recently become a challenge because of the decades – long reoccurrence of issues and the growth of new problems that have plagued the southern region of he country. However, a group of dynamic grassroots leaders from Mindanao in partnership with Manila - based peace organizations are up for the challenge in developing proactive and creative actions for sustainable peace.

Together with grassroots leaders from conflict affected communities in Maguindanao, Cotabato, Basilan, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur; representatives from the government, civil society, academe, and media will be present during a forum entitled, “Engaging the Moral Imagination in Building Bridges of Interfaith Dialogue & Cooperation between Mindanao & Metro Manila: A Mindanao-NCR Leaders’ Dialogue & Partnership-Building Forum.” This will be held on November 23 (Monday) from 2-6 o’clock in the afternoon at the Mutya Hall of Sulo Hotel in Quezon City.

Organized by the Peacemakers Circle Foundation, Pakigdait Inc., and the United Religions Initiative (URI), the forum aims to address the awareness and communication gap between the public, the media, and dominant social and political issues in the country with the issues of Mindanao. There will be a particular focus on the conflict situation among and within the Muslims, Christians, and Lumads/Indigenous there and in building bridges of communication and partnerships in collaborative action using the Moral Imagination.

Moral Imagination is a way of promoting peace and conflict transformation popularized by John Paul Lederach, a leading expert in the field. Peace building using the moral imagination develops the capacity to imagine and generate constructive processes while rooted in the day-to-day challenges of violence and transform them into sustainable solutions for peace. This is the challenge of interfaith grassroots leaders from Mindanao participating in the forum.

Prior to the forum, from November 19-22, the grassroots leaders will undergo a workshop on engaging the Moral Imagination in their respective grassroots peace building work as part of the United Religions Initiative (URI) Travelling Peace Academy through the Peacemakers Circle and Pakigdait. URI is a global organization working with over 450 interfaith grassroots organizations in 70 countries around the world. For more information about uri, visit www.uri.org

SPACE IS LIMITED.

Please confirm your participation-- contact the Peacemakers Circle Foundation mobile phones 09158026949/ 09187822805, or landline 920-7622, email peacemakerscircle_uri@yahoo.com.

Based in Australia, the Hi-5 Show started out in 1999 and has a target audience of (a) Children from 2 to 7 years of age; and (b) Parents and guardians of the children. We have attached a Hi-5 profile to get you more acquainted with the show and cast members.

After 10 seasons of high-energy shows, the Hi-5 show introduces the next generation of Hi-5 with Lauren Brant, Tim Maddren, Fely Irvine (Filipina-Irish) and Casey Burgess appearing in their first season and joining Stevie Nicholson for tons of fun, adventure, singing, dancing and active learning. They have captured the hearts of children worldwide and this year, Hi-5 will capture the attention of the Filipino children.

2009 promises to be a busy year for Hi-5 starting off with the recent 2 week Meet & Greet Live Show at the Ayala Malls last 13th to the 28th of May, meeting with kids and parents all over Metro Manila and Cebu. The Hi-5 Series 11 (New Season with the all New Cast) was launched in Nickelodeon on June 10, 2009 and is airing 5 times a week, Monday to Friday, 8:30am & 12nn. Hi-5 returned in September to promote the live ticketed show with radio and tv guestings including Meet & Greet Live Shows at SM City North Edsa and SM Mall of Asia.

Hi-5 will be returning in November for their 6-day Concert at the Megatent in Meralco Avenue, Pasig. Unlike the Meet & Greet session done in the Ayala Malls, Hi-5 Surprise!

(Shorter version originally published as an addendum to an article in Rogue Magazine, extended final version which appears below published in Philippines Free Press week of December 13, 2008).

I wish that the Film Development Council of the Philippines would understand the value of the money they’re given and consider going to Paris and spending P5 million of their P25 million allotment for a showcase given by a young festival an investment, and not just a vacation.

They support filmmakers with finished films to go abroad to festivals for the pride they bring their country—I wish instead they would support their films locally, and help them get seen by a larger Filipino audience.

I cry for the loss of Manuel Conde’s Juan Tamad films.

I cry for a country that can’t convince that one Filipino-American who owns the only known print of Conde’s Genghis Khan in its original language to return (i.e. sell) the film back to his mother country.

I cry for the generations of Filipinos, myself included, that can no longer see Gerry De Leon’s Daigdig ng Mga Api, and instead have scans of movie ads to admire on the internet (with sincere thanks to Simon Santos and James De la Rosa).

I mourn a heritage that has allowed through neglect the prints of Mario O’Hara’s Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos and Peque Gallaga’s Oro, Plata, Mata to turn flush sepia.

I cry for a Union Bank and University of the Philippines that conspire in apathy to let the master negatives of treasures produced by Bancom Audiovision rot in rooms only air-conditioned half the day and in cans untouched for years and years.

I pray for a city government or even enterprising and concerned theater owners to consider setting aside 50 centavos or a peso of a ticket for the preservation of our national audiovisual heritage. There have been flood taxes siphoned from movie tickets for crying out loud—this should be easy!

I wish Cinemalaya, which, thanks to the media and the government’s press mileage behind it, has a great festive excitement, would actually put their efforts in the service of Philippine cinema, and not their own self-involved attempt to start a micro-industry.

I wish filmmakers would stop listening to Robbie Tan.

I wish Cinema One, which takes more risks, gives more money and often produces better films than Cinemalaya, would actually give filmmakers some rights to their work and stop swindling them.

I wish Cinemanila, which has introduced to the country more great films than any other institution, doesn’t stop showing them on 35mm.

I wish Cinemanila would publish their full schedule in advance: it’s difficult to plot what films to watch when you don’t know which ones will show again.

I wish the Goethe- initiated Silent Film Festival, with live scores by Filipino musicians, would continue annually, and that one year they get to show a Chaplin, a Griffith, a Dreyer, and maybe a Vertov or Medvedkin.

I wish Lav Diaz would have larger budgets to maneuver and shoot with. And would work with the ace production designer Cesar Hernando once again.

I wish more people saw Lav Diaz’s films rather than just respecting his stance, and using him as a symbol.

I wish Raymond Red would get to make Makapili and/or return to making fantastic shorts in the experimental mode.

I wish Raymond Red would still get to shoot on celluloid.

I wish John Torres would sacrifice the image quality of his HDV camera for the special intimacy and spontaneity he is able to achieve with his 1ccd camera. Or get a smaller HDV camera.

I wish Mike De Leon would make another movie… please.

I wish Roxlee would get enough money to buy the time necessary to make an animated feature.

I wish everyone would buy a copy of Nicanor Tiongson and Cesar Hernando’s richly illustrated The Cinema of Manuel Conde.

I wish there were more books on Philippine cinema.

I wish a book series was started that published classic screenplays.

I hope Noel Vera gets to write his book on Mario O’Hara.

I wish a close study of the entire oeuvre of Ishmael Bernal were made.

I wish older commentators would understand: Lino Brocka is dead.

I wish younger filmmakers would understand: Lino Brocka compromised when he had to because he had to, and perhaps even, at times, too much. You are living in a different time. The excuse that Brocka made more than 60 films therefore you can afford your own mediocre ones does not hold water.

I wish we had less tourist cinema.

I wish we had less formula cinema—“real-time” anyone?

I wish Cinefilipino had put out Maalaala Mo Kaya with the reels in the proper order.

I wish Cinefilipino would have put our their Brocka titles with just a little bit of care and affection, providing some writing on the film or special features to contextualize them rather than just throw them out their bare to earn.

I wish Nestor Torre would open his eyes…

I wish the Manunuri books on Philippine cinema in the’70s and’80s would go back in print.

I wish the Manunuri actually cared about Philippine cinema today.

I wish more of the Manunuri actually reviewed films instead of just giving out awards.

I wish the Young Critics Circle were actually young.

I wish the Young Critics Circle were actually critics.

I wish Francis ‘Oggs’ Cruz, Richard Bolisay, and Dodo Dayao would get space in the broadsheets, because they’re far more interesting than anyone writing there regularly.

I wish we didn’t have a cinema of the press (more on this soon).

I wish Noel Vera would move back.

I wish Hammy Sotto were still alive.

I wish Hammy Sotto’s manuscripts would get published.

I wish film preservation activist Jo Atienza was still in Manila.

I wish we had a fully supported Film Museum.

I wish we had a Cinematheque.

I wish the UP Film Center had better seats, and more important, showed better films.

I wish more non-filmmakers from the Philippines would get to travel to festivals.

I wish film were taught in high schools.

I wish we had more film lovers and less bureaucrats in important positions in the field of cinema.

I wish Teddy Co would get the recognition that he deserves for his selfless work.

I wish Teddy Co would write more as his ideas deserve to be recorded.

I wish co-ops would co-operate.

I wish Khavn De La Cruz would get to make his musical EDSA XXX.

I wish the Max Santiago feature would get made, and that shorts would finally come to my hands on DVD (Hi Marla!).

I hope Tad Ermitano never stops writing and playing in his cave.

I wish Lourd De Veyra would continue writing on actors and cinema.

I wish Raymond Lee’s UFO success.

I wish Albert Banzon would get more credit.

I wish we had more regional feature films, and more support for regional filmmakers.

I wish everyone would watch When Timawa Meets Delgado.

I wish someone would lower MTRCB rates for screening fees, especially for festivals.

I wish someone, anyone, would make a good, thought-provoking film about the Philippine upper class.

I wish Ketchup Eusebio would get more leading roles.

I wish Elijah Castillo would appear in a lot more films. Soon.

I wish Cesar Hernando would get to make a video transfer of his experimental short Botika, Bituka.

I wish filmmakers had some integrity and told Viva to screw themselves when offered another exploitation film.

I wish more people could see the film Bontoc Eulogy by Marlon Fuentes.

I wish Vic Del Rosario wasn’t presidential adviser on Entertainment, given the shlock they produce, and yes, that includes the films that starred First-Son Mikey Arroyo.

I wish Star Cinema would stop—just stop.

I wish there was a film library that people could go to in order to read books on cinema.

I wish the MMFF were not in the hands of the same people who install public urinals (admittedly useful).

I wish the MMDA didn’t call those circles and boxes Art.

I wish that MMDA Art wasn’t so much better than every MMFF film.

I wish a certain festival in December didn’t consider box office as a criteria for its main prize (which comes with rewards). We don’t give cultural awards to Wowowee, do we? Well, not yet…

I wish I could see how “commercial viability” was computed.

I wish Mother Lily didn’t have a monopoly on the Metro Manila Film Festival.

I wish Mother Lily took better care, or rather took care at all, of the good films she unwittingly produced in the past.

I wish Mother Lily would get to see Raya’s Long Live Philippine Cinema! …or maybe not.

I wish the Hammy Sotto-led Philippine Cinema in the ’90s book, with excellent interviews and a complete filmography of the decade, and which has been completed for several years, would finally get printed.

I wish all the old Mowelfund shorts—including the works of Regiben Romana, the Alcazaren Brothers, Louie Quirino and Donna Sales, Raymond Red and Noel Lim—would come out on DVD.

I wish a book would be written about all the Mowelfund shorts.

I wish a book on Philippine poster art would be released.

I always look forward to the rest of Nick Deocampo’s projected four-to-five volume history on Philippine cinema—at least someone is writing it.

I wish there were a pure film studies course available in the Philippines.

I wish that venues that are censorship (and therefore MTRCB fee) exempt would understand the vital role they play and take more responsibility.

I wish we had a regular film journal. Why don’t we? We have enough critics groups and awarding bodies.

I wish more film teachers were approaching cinema from cinema.

I wish R.A. Rivera would get to make his first feature soon.

I wish Quark Henares refrains from selling out again, because if he doesn’t, he has the potential to be one of the important ones.

I wish more people would get to see In Da Red Korner. It deserves to be reconsidered.

I wish Rogue Magazine would cut down their featuring of foreign films in the gallery section when there is so much to write about locally that doesn’t get covered in other media beyond sloppy journalism.

I wish the government would sponsor DVD releases of the surviving films of Lamberto Avellana, Gerardo De Leon and all other classics that still exist.

I wish FPJ Productions would again screen the footage of Gerry De Leon’s unfinished Juan de la Cruz (the icon, by the way, that was invented by this magazine).

I wish less filmmakers compromised.

I wish more filmmakers admitted when they did.

I wish we focused our attention more on audience education, development and literacy, than on dumbing down films to pander to them.

I wish Philippine cinema all the success in the world. . .

Doing online work while kids are around

0 comments
I maximize my time and literally, the tabs when I'm online because with 4 kids around,I have to limit my time encoding.
So here are some ways to stop your kid from annoying you while working on something online. Either you explain to him what you are doing or let him

1.Swipe the floor.

2.Re-arrange the door mats

3.Take out the hangers of the now dried laundry. Or count the hangers too if you think you need longer time.

3.Play with baby brother,if he has one.

Then thank him for both the learning,waiting and space.

Thank you Jay!

But for me, I guess It's best to stay stuck on the PC if the kids are having their afternoon Siesta

The Ghosts of Flight 401

As I watch this and blog,things happened in the room.
Booh!
But you can watch the "tamer" Air Crash Investigation in 4 parts or 12 parts of 1978 version all at you tube.com. I wonder if I could grab the book by John Fuller.That feels scarier to read along.
Bottomline is,this shows good human spirits while some continue to haunt flights to save and mentor a-live crews.But more than that, we hope and pray,they all go dead energies into the light soon!

Johnny Delgado Feleo ....Farewell

I like to call him an artist because he is one great actor, in all genres ,in all his portrayals may it be a great patriarch,notorious or just a funny man.
His wake is at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine in New Manila, Quezon City. Interment will be at the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina on Nov. 24.
Padayon po!

BRAZILIAN FILM FESTIVAL

This November, the UP Film Institute and the Embassy of Brazil bring you BRAZILIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2009 which guarantees a panoramic view of everything Brasil.

Four charming titles of contemporary Brazilian cinema, celebrated by local and international film festivals, will have complimentary and exclusive screenings at the UPFI Videotheque.

The festival starts Nov 13, screening a different film every Friday(4pm) until Dec 4, 2009.

“Si Baning, Si Maymay at ang Asong Si Bobo”

0 comments

Gateway Cineplex10, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City. Additional screening November 17, 2009, 9:50PM

“Si Baning, Si Maymay at ang Asong Si Bobo” will make everybody feel young. Directed by filmmaker Rommel “Milo” Tolentino, it stars Rio Locsin, Geraldine Tan, Simon Ibarra, Gene Karley Largueza, Joanna Jean Evangelista and Jan Harley Hicana. With its very long and catchy title, anyone can surmise the movie to be also very young, for it’s a children’s film. This is because “Si Baning, Si Maymay at ang Asong Si Bobo” has characters who we either encounter everyday, are part of our lives or happen to be ourselves. They have concerns that very young people think about, yet they appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds.

I got this from youtube.I wasn't able to watch The Buzz that Sunday after Manny PAcquiao's winning moment with Cotto but a balance of winning is loosing in so many ways he does not care to know.
How could someone hurt the other in so many ways? Even if it's not true, or for the publicity of an upcoming movie, still, why would we hurt the one true love? Why put love to a test? Why shatter a home? True love never dies but we're killing the person we grew up with. Love and the physical body are two separate entities that must be taken care of. Think and act deep if you are a champion.

How to Spend A 10th Birthday

0 comments
My eldest wondered if McDonald's Ben 10 theme is worth celebrating his birthday?This will costs Php3000 with food excluded. So he then just wanted to ride the roller coaster at Sm Fairview Storyland-his own baptism of fire.



Instead of purchasing a Ride-All-You-Can-Tag,which costs Pp280 during weekends,I opted to sign him up for the Club Storyland Membership .It only costs Php250 with a complimentary RAYC Tag and another because it was his birthday gift from them.
One can also eat and sit the entire day at SM Fairview Krispy Kreme where our charming staff created a trial complimentary doughnut for him because they ran out of he green balloon.With their space up the 2nd floor annex,kids can run and laugh around.



These are just some little things that makes parents enjoy spending for birthdays wisely and it has lots of perks for everyone,young and old too.
Happy 10th Birthday JVG!We are so proud of you Kuya!

Alexis Tioseco: DEAR FILM DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL OF THE PHILIPPINES

0 comments
You have the mandate to start the National Film Archive. I have heard that your first priority project in relation to archiving is the digitization of some 70 works into high quality digital copies. While this may be useful, perhaps inquiring into the state of and assisting the various archives in the country (UP Film Center, Mowelfund et al) whose current holdings (which include rare prints if not master negatives of some titles, let alone the entire history of alternative/ experimental cinema in the country) are being stored in deplorable conditions, may be even more important. Have you thought about this? Saving the master negatives or prints and storing and caring for them properly will ensure their survival far longer than digital copies (of which we are still uncertain), and in their original state too. Steps need to be made NOW to ensure that we don’t lose more of these films.


I know you would like high quality digital copies of films to be available for public screenings, and its embarrassing when you’re asked for titles, even recent ones, and don’t know where to get them, but to push for this at the expense of the archiving itself, when the situation is clearly a SOS one for many films/archives is a serious mismanagement of priorities.


I saw this poster recently in the National Film Archive of Thailand, an institution that has done so much with so little and continues to do more (I believe you can learn much from them), and thought it would be useful to share it with you:

On my 32nd birthday,I was silent.Then came late afternoon, my eldest arrived home in tears from an accident at the HRSK school quadrangle.He needs to have a Skull Xray and CT Scan to check if anything leads to anywhere.
My Silence led me to awe and lost for words.This is my new year.My new cycle starts with nothingness and surrender.Only the Good Order knows what's in for us.We are all toy soldiers indeed!
