I didn’t have much time to wrap up my year the way I did
before. Too much happened during Christmas season (family stuff mostly) and the
only time that I was able to stop and reflect was last night, an hour before
the clock hit 12.
Marami akong sinabi sa sarili ko before 2015 ended and I was
so hopeful about so many things in 2016 but most of it didn’t happen. I don’t
know why but I didn’t dwell on it anymore kasi in retrospect, mas malaki pa ang
nakuha ko. 2016, I must say, was the year that I got to know God a little
better and though I know that I still have a long way to go, the things that I learned
this year greatly strengthened my faith in Him and in all things that are good.
There were unanswered prayers but I feel as if He took the year to gear me up
for something great this 2017. Excited? YES! VERY!
Today is the first day of the year at kung totoo ang
sinasabi ng iba na kung ano ang ginawa mo sa unang araw ng taon, most likely
yun ang gagawin mo the whole year, then I must have started it right. I’m so
glad that I have spent this day doing three of the things that I really love
doing – praying, watching movies and writing. I hope I could do more of this
ngayong 2017.
For some time, I thought I unintentionally put out the fire (my longest
writer’s block ever) but today, I found myself writing for 4 hours straight. It’s
still here. Yung dating pakiramdam, yung trance-like experience when I write my
thoughts, walang nagbago. The short hiatus from writing gave way for me to
discover new things about myself and the things that I want. It gave me a
chance to chase after my other dreams but just like before… pagsusulat ang binabalik-balikan
ko. So this year, the fire right here in my heart will definitely reignite. I even think it’s going to be bigger than before.
Change is coming? Actually change is always coming. I guess
some people just aren’t ready to welcome it. For me though, I’m embracing it
this year. Hindi ko kakalimutan ang mga nangyari sa’kin last year. Wala akong
galit sa 2016 at sa ibang taon pa na lumipas. I want to make peace with all my
mistakes, shortcomings, bad decisions and stubbornness and just start this year
dropping all the regrets and whatnot. This year, I want to finally call myself
an adult and face everything head on. With a little room for fear, yes, but
with God in my heart, I will carry on anyway. I will continue to love the
people around me and try my best to show them a glimpse of “heaven” so they would
crave for it and eventually seek the Big Guy up there because He's the only One who could give more.
We have 350 plus plus days ahead and this is only Day 1. Ready
ka na? Tara!

Direk Jun Robles Lana is one of the directors who I look up
to. I met him once when I applied on his scriptwriting workshop last year. He
wowed me then and he amazed me again now. Kung pwede lang na sa isang salita ko
lang ma-describe yung pelikula niya, ito lang:
NAPAKAHUSAY.
Mula sa direksyon hanggang sa pagkaka-edit ng pelikula up to
the flawless performance of Paolo Ballesteros and Christian Bables. I read so
many reviews of Die Beautiful and so far, I never came across one that was
negative. Because of that, lalo ako nacurious. Pagka-announce pa lang that it
was one of the finalists in 2016’s Metro Manila Film Festival, naaatat na ‘ko
mapanood.
I expected it to be good but not this much. Awards garnered by this film are all well-deserved.Paolo did an
amazing job as Trisha Echeverria, so did Christian as he played the ever loyal bestfriend,
Barbs. The way they portrayed their characters were compelling. The movie was
well written. Kahit hindi ka beki, makaka-relate ka. The lines weren’t tacky at hindi pilit. Kudos to Die Beautiful's screenwriter, Rody Vera. As a viewer, para akong
tsismosa na nag-oobserve at nanonood sa dalawang beki sa kanto. That’s how real it felt.
Some non-linear movies that I watched in the past left me
confused at some point, but not this one. The film editor, Ben Tolentino, did such
a brilliant job and the idea na it jumps from one timeline to another, yung
pagkakatahi at pagkakabuo ng pelikula, it all made sense. As a viewer, hindi
niya ko nilito. The way the movie was edited, in my opinion, was one of its
strengths.
(The first part is
for my followers. If you want to read the movie review right away, go straight to
the Disclaimer. Happy new year everyone!)
I have always been a big supporter of MMFF. As a family, we had
this tradition since I was in grade school that we watch at least 2-3 movies
during Christmas Day at may pagpaplano pa kaming ginagawa kasi expected na namin
na maraming tao. As soon as the mall opens, nandun na kami. Talagang
nakikipagsiksikan kami ng mga kapatid ko at wala kaming pakialam sa haba ng
pila. As a kid, I never understood why we were so excited with this annual movie
festival when we can just wait for the entries to be available on VHS (back in
the 90’s) or DVD (nung medyo techie na). I realized na that family tradition
played a big part on why I became so engrossed with local films. Una ko
talagang minahal ang pelikulang Pilipino bago ko nasimulang ma-appreciate yung
mga gawang banyaga.
Anyway, why I’m telling you this is because a friend of mine
gave me an idea the other day. I’m not really good in writing reviews kasi pag
nanonood ako, ineexperience ko siya at ninanamnam to the point na ang hirap ng i-narrate.
Basta naramdaman ko and I can’t put it into words. But since I babble a lot
about the movies and TV shows that I watch when we talk, sabi niya “Bakit kaya
hindi ka na lang sumulat ng reviews para di nasasayang yung mga mahahabang
komento na sa’kin mo lang sinasabi?” At naisip ko bakit nga ba hindi. This isn’t
just to let my thoughts out but to help other people na rin to decide what to
watch. I’m not sure, of course, if we have the same taste but if you think my
thoughts could be useful, go ahead and peruse. :)
So… aside from random musings (see blog description on top), I
might write about reviews on movies (and maybe TV shows) that I discuss with a
few friends who are huge movie junkies like me.

So ayun na nga… first movie review this 2017 is the first MMFF
entry na napanood ko.
It was only on December 30 that I had the time to visit the mall
so unlike the past years na talagang December 25 ako nakakanood, it took me 5
days after pa to finally watch though I read movie reviews in my free time. The
movies that I really wanted to see on this year’s MMFF are Die Beautiful and Saving
Sally. I only had 3 hours max to spare last Friday and it really pissed me off
that I came late for the 10:40am screening of Die Beautiful while Saving Sally’s
first screening was 4pm. Paano? Haha! The only movie left for me to watch on
that day was Vince & Kath & James since the rest were screening on the
other side of the mall at mauubos ang oras ko. I haven’t read any review of VKJ
so I have no idea what to expect basta Star Cinema siya at romcom.
I have watched tons, if not all, Star Cinema movies na romantic comedy
ang genre since late 90’s so I didn’t expect anything surprising because they seem
to follow a formula. There was nothing special on the story. It was typical and
very predictable but what made me like it is yung treatment. When it’s supposed
to look pabebe, to my amazement, it didn’t seem that way at all. Para niya kong
binalik sa pagkabata at naramdaman ko yung kilig nung mga panahong nakikita ko
yung first crush ko. No overdone cheesy scenes but only cheesy lines na for
some reason eh imbis na magcringe ako eh naaliw ako. Props to the writers, Daisy Cayanan, Kim Noromor and Anjanette Haw.
In all fairness to
Julia Barretto, she has improved a lot. I watched Para Sa Hopeless Romantic and
I wasn’t really impressed by her performance there so it was really nice na
nagcomplement sila ng leading man niya dito. She looks stunning on cam and she
did well in the comic scenes. She and Maris Racal were believable as
bestfriends and Maris, though I’m not a fan of uber kikay characters, did not
come off as annoying.
Ronnie Alonte... hmm.
Dead eyes. :( There were some scenes pa na nahuhuli siya na napapatingin sa
camera. He's an eyecandy, yes, but they could have chosen someone else to play
his role. Fit naman as a rich boy varsity player – looks, tindig and all – but in
terms of acting, medyo kulang pa. Forgivable naman since he’s a newbie. I haven’t
watched Seklusyon yet so I can only base lang dito sa movie na ‘to. Maybe he
did better in that film, I’m not sure. Joshua Garcia, as expected, did an amazing job as Vince. Since marami na nagsabi na kaabang-abang siya sa movie, hindi na ko nagulat. You can really see the potential in him. Yung mga seryosong scenes especially the confrontation ones with Ina Raymundo, gusto ko yung hindi over the top yung pag-iyak niya kasi ganun usually umiyak ang lalaki. Pigil. Hindi hagulgol pero ramdam mo na nasasaktan talaga. Hindi dinaan sa pagsigaw. Humikbi lang pero tatamaan ka. Given the right projects at kung maho-hone pa yung talent niya, he could be the next big thing.
When I saw some of
their promotional shots, hindi ko masyado nakitaan ng chemistry si Julia and
Joshua but during the movie, lalo na sa sinok at talyer scene… sparks. Marami. Yun
na lang. Haha! They unexpectedly look great together onscreen.
Cinematography is
nice. Sarap sa mata ng mga kulay and gustong gusto ko mga close up shots ni
Joshua and Julia. Overall, na-enjoy ko yung movie. I can’t really compare it to
the book/textserye on Facebook because I haven’t read it yet but the movie
itself was entertaining and just the right mix of everything. Though it wasn’t
as deep and intense as the other MMFF entries, parang ito yung naging “buffer”.
Hindi sinayang pera ko. The kilig element wasn’t over the top. Sakto. Easy to
watch. Based on the portrayal of the two lead actors, yung simplicity ng script
at treatment ng story, if you want to see something light, you will appreciate
this one.
By the way, may
hangover ako sa soundtrack ng VKJ. Whoever thought of using “O Pag-ibig” of
Bailey Mae and Ylona Garcia, good job! Ang lakas maka-LSS.
I’ll be writing a
review of Die Beautiful tonight as well since napanood ko na siya kanina. Hope
I could find time tomorrow to watch Saving Sally or any MMFF entry. As much as
I intend to watch all of it, I’m not sure if I have the time pero sana. :)
And… may I just say…
my goodness NAMISS KO MAGSULAT!!! :p
Just a short entry before I go to bed. I spoke to a good
friend early today. Our funny conversation went like this:
F: Uy! Nakausap ko pala si *bleep*
Me: Ah really? Kumusta daw siya?
F: Engaged na.
*awkward silence*
Though things did not end the way I hoped for years back
when I thought we were leading somewhere (for someone I dated in the past,
there were really serious feelings involved during that time), totoo, walang halong
kaechusan, gusto ko talaga maging masaya siya. Pero ngayon ko lang narealize,
masakit din pala… konti. Haha!
Well, it wasn’t the sana-kami-nalang-ulit kind of masakit
but more like it-could-have-been-us-but-we-both-know-we’re-better-off-this-way.
It played thousands of times in my head before, yung tipong meron kang ex na
ikakasal, iba pala yung iniimagine mo lang sa totoong nangyayari na. Ngayon ko
lang na-gets yung pakiramdam na kahit alam mong ayaw mo naman kayong
magkabalikan pero mas naging totoo yung “period”, as in never na magkakaroon ng
katuloy EVER.
Anyway, at the end of the day mas nangibabaw pa din siyempre
yung masaya ako para sa kanya. Finding the right one and finally being able to
say that you are with the person you want to grow old with is one amazing blessing
na hindi lahat nakakaranas. I may have not found mine yet pero sure ako na cloud
nine ang pakiramdam nun and for someone who used to be so special to me and I used
to deeply care about, there is nothing but joy na malaman na on to the next
chapter na siya ng buhay niya.
One friend told me before “when you love a person, lumipas
man yan, hindi man maganda maging ending niyo, nandyan pa rin yan. Matatabunan
lang ng mga susunod mong mamahalin pero never mawawala.” I guess tama siya. Whether ikakasal man yan o may bago ng jowa,
may mafifeel at mafifeel ka pa rin. Kirot, hapdi, sakit, basta may mararamdaman
ka. But don’t mistake that na baka mahal mo pa o na baka gusto mo pa magkabalikan
kayo. Be happy kasi it only means nagmahal ka ng totoo. ;)
PS. Pag nakabasa kayo ng kwento ko na tungkol sa past love
na ikakasal, ayan, may idea na kayo kung saan inspired :p
I have been
on hiatus for some time. Not that it matters to others but I would like to
share with you something that was life changing for me.
Just a
background, madalas ko ng naririnig yung prayer and fasting. Actually, I try to
do it every Holy Week (and I say “try” kasi most of the time hindi successful).
It was just recently that I had serious thoughts about it because I felt
something inside was calling me to do it. For days, I researched on the proper
way of doing prayer and fasting. I talked to my mom about it and sought advice
from my friends especially those na nasubukan na. I didn’t know how to prepare
myself for it kasi “7 days” is “7 days”. Yung malihis ako sa nakasanayan ko and
give up certain things (sa mga hindi nakakaalam I have this need to stick to my
daily routine otherwise I become really anxious), it was unimaginable for me.
But then I realized, this will test kung ano nga ba ang kaya kong isakripisyo
para sa Kanya so sabi ko “sige na, bahala na”.
Sa totoo
lang, wala akong major issue sa buhay. I’m not depressed. Wala akong
pinagdadaanan. Everything is okay. I am working on a lot of things lalo na sa
career and everyday nagigising ako na sobrang hopeful at excited sa mga
projects na nakasalang sakin para sa mga susunod na buwan. At some point though
narealize ko na lagi natin iniisip kung masaya ba tayo. The things we do, we do
it to pursue happiness. I began to ask “Ikaw ba Lord? Happy ka ba?” I decided
to zone out for 7 days so I could hear Him better. I have been looking for my
so called “spiritual home” for a long time and I feel that I have already found
it but I know in my heart that there are things in my life that need serious
“pruning” because as much as I have accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, there
are still things na hindi ko maisuko ng 100%. Mga bagay na akala ko sinuko ko
na pero hindi pa pala buong buo yung pag-surrender ko.
A friend once
told me “Hindi ka Niya masasagip kung dumidiskarte ka pa rin ng pang-sarili
mo.” Hindi ko maisuko kasi feeling ko hindi ko kaya. Ganun tayo eh – tao,
madalas mahina. Sa mga araw na lumipas dun ko narealize that when you say “With
God, nothing is impossible.” you have to REALLY believe it. Majority sa buhay
ko sinuko ko na sa Kanya pero yun mismo yung problema. “Majority” LANG. Hindi
lahat. Hindi buo. Hindi kumpleto.
Since I
started my 7-day journey, things were easy. Nagulat din ako. The things na
akala ko ang hirap i-give up at feeling ko essential sa araw araw kong
pamumuhay, He answered my prayer kasi hindi ko hinanap hanap. Wala talagang
urge. Dun ko naisip yung mga mas seryosong bagay na hindi ko mabitawan. I
looked at myself closely and how I live my life and God showed me so many
things that I was so afraid to deal with before kaya naipon lang. He made me
realize “Anak, sinampolan na kita sa maliliit na bagay. Kinaya kong alisin.
Sana pagkatiwalaan mo rin Ako sa mga malalaking bagay sa buhay mo na kailangan
mo ng tanggalin.”
I realized
that I became dependent on some things na kung hindi ko pa aayusin ngayon,
natatakot ako na baka makalimutan ko that He is my God – not the dreams that I
am pursuing, not the people around me who I love, not the material things and
the fleeting moments here on earth that I enjoy. I have been spending so much
time pursuing my personal happiness that I’m slowly taking Him for granted.
Nagsisimula ko ng sukatin yung success at kaligayahan ko through earthly
standards ng hindi ko namamalayan. Kinalabit Niya ko bigla and asked me “Anak,
para sa Akin pa ba yan?”
I know after
this marami pang mangyayari but the past few days had been both challenging and
fulfilling for me. I feel renewed and more motivated to pursue Him and the
hunger to get to know Him keeps growing and growing. Ngayon ko lang mas
naunawaan that when He calls you and you respond to it, pag ang puso mo
binuksan mo ng buong buo sa Kanya, mas maiintindihan mo Siya, mas makikilala mo
Siya, mas maririnig mo yung boses Niya.
I want to
turn away so badly from the things that will hurt Him and in doing so, I know
it will take more time, patience and commitment. I admit that it worried me a
lot that I might backslide but this week, I truly found peace in my heart and
submitted all my fears to Him because I know that for as long as I trust Him
completely, nothing is impossible.
Thank you,
Lord, for surrounding me with people who will help me make sure that I am
aligned with Your purpose for me and my life and for sending me earth angels na
aakay sakin pabalik in case madapa na naman ako. To my parents, especially my
mom who laid the groundwork sa pagkilala ko sa Kanya, maraming maraming
salamat. To my sister-in-law, Belle, you have no idea how one Sunday with you
and my brother changed me. I will be forever grateful for that. To my friends
who check up on me all the time and who have expressed their sincere desire to
join me in my walk with Christ (Jill, Thea, Ms. Joy, and Mommy Faith), THANK
YOU!
I am not
sharing this so people would emulate what I did and I can’t guarantee the same
spiritual experience kasi iba iba naman tayo but I encourage you to take a
pause once in a while and REALLY listen to what He wants to tell You. Allow Him
to enter your heart and fill all the holes na akala niyo kahit kailan hindi
mapupunan. Let Him do wonders and miracles in your life because believe me, you
will gain the best kind of happiness – pure, real and everlasting. I
incessantly pray for love and kindness to continuously reign in your hearts and
may you find in all things that you do the desire to glorify and honor God.
One of my readers who grew close to me asked the other day
kung kailan daw ba ako maguupdate ulit. I know I’ve been inactive for the most
part of this year. Di ko pa maexplain sa ngayon kung bakit but most definitely,
I am cooking something up for all my followers. Announcement will come one of
these days but I promise that this will be something really exciting. I had
this planned since last year pa pero mukhang ngayon lang magmamaterialize. I’ll
be working on my dream projects very soon. Praise God!
Ngayon pa lang nagpapasalamat na ‘ko sa lahat ng tumulong,
tumutulong at tutulong pa. You guys are my angels. Maraming salamat for
supporting me not just on my work but also in my advocacies. More good things
are coming our way and one day, maibabalik ko din sa inyong lahat yung klase ng
suporta at pagtitiwala na binibigay niyo sa’kin. I know I have a responsibility
to you guys, too, lalo na sa mga nabibitin ko sa kwento. From the bottom of my
heart, humihingi ako ng paumanhin. Pasensya na kayo. Hehe! When you have so
many dreams that you are trying to fulfill, ang sarap sarap hilingin na sana madagdagan
ang oras sa loob ng isang araw. But anyway, I’ll try to be a better time
manager so I won’t keep anyone hanging again.
Sa mga readers ko who became my good friends, lalo na sa mga
admins at OP’s, you guys know who you are, mahal na mahal ko kayo. Maraming
salamat at pinag-aaksayahan niyo ko ng oras at ng atensyon lalo na sa mga
nakakausap ko sa Twitter at Viber paminsan. Jenny, Dezza, Ferrai, Thet, Mommy
Faith, sa mga op’s nila Rocky, to Ruxel, Angge, Leah, Idda, Mommy C, kay
Gleekrusher, CK, Elene, Bibi, naku po… hindi ko na kayo maisa-isa. Wag
magtatampo yung hindi ko nabanggit. Inaantok na kasi ako. Poor memory. :p
Basta, lahat kayo! Alam niyo na yan.
I’ll keep all of you in my prayers and do know that I will
never forget you.
It’s 2:44 in the morning. A friend kept on asking me on
Facebook why I’m still up. As always, napag-isip na naman ako. Lately I’ve been
coming home after a day of work and everything else at sobrang latang-lata ako
sa pagod pero gaya nga ng sabi ko sa social media the other day “that kind of
busy na nakaka-happy”. Hindi ko mapigilang makatulog and it usually lasts for a
few hours then for some reason, between 2am-3am nagigising ako. Kung kailan tahimik
ang paligid at tulog ang mundo, bigla ko lang masasabi “Lord, nanggigising Ka
noh?” Though I get random moments wherein I worship Him and grab stolen chances
of having short conversations, I know He is trying to tell me something.
The past few weeks I’ve been having this odd feeling. Sabi
ko nga sa kaibigan ko, hindi ko maintindihan and I can’t even identify if it’s
a good feeling or maybe it’s something bad, basta ang alam ko may certain
intensity at nababother ako. I can’t figure it out and I couldn’t tell people
about it. Sa mga nakakakilala sakin, alam nila yan na madaldal lang ako pero
bihira ako lumapit at magkwento ng mga personal na bagay. Most of the time, I
just pray for it. The only person I talk to pag may mga bagay na hindi ko na
kayang kimkimin, well, he’s already with Him. Lately dumadami mga kaibigan ko
na mas matatanda sa akin and by age difference eh talagang siksik na sa wisdom
so I decided to talk to one of them. Hindi ko makalimutan yung sinabi niya and
here’s what he said:
Sleep on it. Let the Holy Spirit come to you, huwag mong
habulin. Just be patient and sensitive sa mga nangyayari sa paligid mo kasi
minsan, nandyan na yung message, hindi mo lang mahanap kasi yung focus mo
nandun sa literal. Gusto mo kasi isasalampak sa harap mo yung sagot pero minsan
kasi nandyan lang eh, di mo lang napapansin because you expect the answer to be
in an obvious form.
Pinag-isipan ko ng maigi and I have been discerning and
praying a lot until today happened. At yun ang amazing para sa’kin kasi yung
epiphany, nangyari nang walang espesyal na okasyon and God revealed His message
to me in a very simple form – ilaw. When my mentor opened this bright light
kanina during our class, medyo madilim sa paligid at ang naiilawan lang yung
mga taong nandun. I was taking a photo of the class when God's message dawned into me…
“You are in the right place and these are the kind of people
I want you to be with.”
I was almost drowning in self-doubt and I
couldn’t stop second guessing myself. Perhaps, nasa nature ko na yun kasi as
much as I take risks (I can’t even count kung ilang beses na ‘kong tumalon at
sumemplang), nandun pa rin yung pagiging segurista ko.
Tama ba ‘to? Baka mali
‘tong ginagawa ko? Dito ba ko dapat? O dun na lang ako sa safe, dun sa kalkulado?
Kaso what if ganito? What if ganyan?
It goes on and on in my head and there are times that I
couldn’t handle the voices anymore so I just shut the whole thing out. Then it
happened. Finally.
On my way home, I was praying. I can’t help but thank God for
reassuring me that as long as He is with me, as long as hindi ako bumibitaw sa
Kanya, nothing will ever go wrong. Hindi ko na napansin yung traffic because I
was reflecting the whole time. Ibang iba yung mundo ko ngayon. Nakakapanibago
pero nakaka-excite. I am so thankful na nililinis Niya yung daan para sakin. As
I continuously pray for how many months, di ko napansin na may mga tinanggal
Siyang tao at bagay sa buhay ko and I can’t thank Him enough that the people who
remained in my arm’s length are those who I know will never take advantage of
me. He revealed to me the people who I should trust and whose hearts will be
vital in the days to come dahil yung mga pusong yun ang patuloy na magpapaalala
sakin that He loves me and that I am not alone. Marami rin Siyang dinagdag sa
buhay ko na hindi ko laging naaappreciate kasi akala ko dadaan lang, but I
realized eventually that these are the people who I would want to keep not just
because I have seen their kind hearts but because hanggat nandito sila, hindi
ako mawawala.
God is preparing me for something. I can feel it. I don’t
know kung ano specifically and I don’t want to know, at least not until He’s
ready to reveal it to me but I am beyond grateful because He answered my prayer
by sending me the right people to walk this journey with.
I felt this need to share how God unceasingly manifests His
love and greatness to me because I know 100% that He will work wonders in your
life too only if you have a willing heart. I am a work in progress and there are
so many things in me that need a lot of tweaking but all my worries have been washed
out because I know for a fact na hinding hindi Niya ko pababayaan.
Let me end this entry with this. This is something that a good
friend told me and it really hit a spot…
You know that God is at work in your life when you start
doing things na akala mo imposible at hindi mo kayang gawin. Those things na
iniisip mo noon na hindi para sayo kahit
gustong gusto mo pero opportunities na hindi mo plinano o hinanap ang hihila
sayo, pabalik-balik, paulit-ulit. And when that happens, don’t fight it. Hold
that faith in your heart na nilagay ka diyan for a reason and whatever that is,
it is for His purpose. Make Him happy. Fulfill it.
