angels in annalyn

25 years ago i was born on this day. what i thought would be the saddest birthday (if not the saddest day) of my entire life turned out to be the happiest.

first off, ive said sayonara to my long hair. yes. the "rock star" look is gone. had that much-awaited haircut and, im sportin a "good boy" look now.

went out and had dinner with the whole family, my treat. my dad handed me down his P800 cellphone which i am still figuring out how to use. my mom gave me a new shirt, and i now have 4 new shirts in one month, and that, folks, is a record breaker.

after that, (in a quick turnaround of events) went straight to annalyn subdivision, to that blue-walled house with the black gate, where a beautiful young lady cooked spaghetti for me (she had her hand covering her eyes when i came). she jumped upon seeing me and hugged me and kissed me. and if that wasnt enough, she gave me a book, one of the books ive been wanting to have: the life of pi. im simply unable to thank her enough for everything... my heart is swollen... my brain in pieces...

and then there was the baby. oh what a bundle of joy.

october twenty-one here we come!

dead spot

about a couple of months ago, john, a co-worker, and i, bashed our brains together and decided to make a short film ("fans" of my blog would know ive mentioned it here). the idea was to bring star wars to the philippines. lightsabers were made. actors were cast. a mini-dv camera was borrowed. but lo and behold, we didnt even finish shooting the first scene. it was a curse, we agreed. and so we let it go.

cinemanila film festival begins on october 12. john and i have broken the curse and finished a horror film entitled "dead spot." we've submitted the form and currently editing the movie. hopefully, even if we do not win the 1.5 million peso first prize (or at least the 100 thousand peso finalist prize), our movie will be screened in the theaters. but of course, with that amount of moolah at stake, we wanna win! wish us luck!

hello, dear visitor. welcome (back) to my blog.

this monday, the 26th september, is my birthday. i had previously planned to celebrate it on sunday at a beach resort with friends. but recent turn of events made me call it off. why? well, if you've read my blog a lot, you'd know why.

the maiden.

id rather not blabber too much about it. meant to pick her up from work, went to the wrong building, waited for hours, phoned her and woke her up, she got mad. end of story. but the drama goes on. with better things to do this weekend, she says she WON'T (not can't) be coming to my supposed party. and will not be giving me any gift. yes, folks. it hurts. all of it. her not coming, no gift (damn i love gifts...), and her i-dont-give-a-rat's-ass attitude about the whole thing. ouch. hurts like my heart's being fried. with the flame set on high, and my heart's stickin to the pan.

i have no idea what to do on sunday. happy birthday my ass.

damn.
