"Whatever it takes. For the love of films."

These were the three short films created for the 5th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival that ran from July 17-26, 2009.Some might not understand and find them silly. But then, that just means you don't really dig indies.

Is it possible to elbow one's self?

YES. I tripped the other day on hard concrete, sideways, and elbowed my lower left ribs. Ouchie. I don't hurt easily but this one really hurts...

OMG. I'm watching "An American Crime" right now. I am SOOO bothered...

I will miss the kids...

My Artist Friend

Surprised to find out my friend did the layout for PBB Commemorative mag (yes, I watch the show, so sue me). Checked when I got home and lo and behold, it IS his name there. To think I remembered him while browsing. No wonder!

Chills to you

Woke up an hour ago to a very chilly January dawn. It promises to be a cold day, methinks. Oh well, gotta get ready. Body and soul not willing, but...

Tugger Attends the Ball

*NOTE: Okay. I am not a fan of fan fiction, but I came up with this one for a writing group I belonged to before. We had to write something about a big black cat and I thought of 'Tugger' so...Guess this qualifies as fan fiction...

 

TUGGER ATTENDS THE BALL

The big black cat made his way through the junkyard, careful not to hit any of the junk thrown about. It was the night of the annual Jellicle Ball after all and Rum Tum Tugger simply had to look his best. Not that he was any worse.

Tugger was not especially big by Jellicle standards. Among the present set of toms in the tribe, however, he was one of the biggest, perhaps even bigger than the group’s protector, Munkustrap. Heck, let Munk be the bouncer, he thought rather smugly, I’M getting the girls!

He did always get the girls due to his exotic looks and charm. Tugger, in a sense, was a star judging by the physical alone. His body was covered by the most beautiful coat of black, not unlike a panther’s. Strangely enough, around his legs were tiger stripes and leopard spots which rather made him curious. Could he by any chance be sharing the same lineage with that old, looney do-gooder Jennyanydots? Up to this day, she still thought that cockroaches just needed employment. Hah! Mental, that one...Well, she was all stripes and spots. Not a thought Tugger cherished but in the Jellicle tribe, such a thing was not at all uncommon. After all it was much believed that the Jellicle leader, Old Deuteronomy, sired most of them. Lineage aside, the stripes and spots did add to his mysterious charm. His seemingly overwhelming confidence just oozed like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Tugger’s biggest pride was the mane around his neck that would remind one of a lion’s. Indeed, with all the envious glances from the males and the adoring looks from the females, Tugger felt like a king, the Ultimate Tomcat…

Back to reality, the alpha tom could hear singing from a distance and realized he was near the ball. He hurried up a bit and true enough, there were the Jellicle cats dancing, basking under the Jellicle moon. He would have wanted to make a grand entrance as usual but all the she-felines were doing their dance ritual. Watching them had always been quite seductive to him. He would have drooled if he wasn’t protecting his image. Besides, drooling was more for dogs, those clueless fools cursed to a lifetime of servitude to humans.

So after a brief greeting from the silver-grey tom Munkustrap, the big black cat sat back and relaxed. Later, there would be time to flirt as the girls swooned on him. Ah, there’s the ever-accommodating Bombalerina, the queenly Victoria, the naughty Rumpleteazer, and—oh, yes—that cute li’l Jemima who would soon become a fine, lovely thing.

Meanwhile, Tugger lazily yawned and smiled like only a smug cat would.

Jumping Jeepers!!!!

I am now the Editorial Assistant/Writer for a magazine! I start tomorrow!

I said before that I was the 2nd choice out of the six short-listed. However, after I was interviewed by the President, I think I was her first choice. Not because of my writing experience, though, but because of my five-and-a-half years' experience as part of the administrative staff. You see, the job will entail administrative work, too, but I don't mind. I'm just happy!!!! I could've told you this last Monday but wasn't able to go online again till today.

BTW, to my Pinoy pals here, if you love to write (I know Raine, Jeffer, and Stephen do), just tell me and I'll send you info/details about an opportunity I found. It's not the magazine I mentioned, but under ___________ Publishing. I applied as contributor (saw an ad) and they replied, stating submission details. You'll get paid for this if your stuff are accepted plus royalties later on. This is legit, guys, don't worry!

Oh, I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, what have you been up to?

As usual, I've been staying at home watching TV and messing with things. I've decided to do some exercising M-W-F.  Wanted to do it everyday, but not easy to do it on a regular basis (hey, I'm a bum). Since I've just started, sometimes, my body aches that I'm not ready to do it the next day. That's what happens when you've been idle for quite some time. So I just try to do some stretches to start the day. Also  trying to remember the stretching stuff I learned from the dacing workshop, but for the life of me, I've forgotten most of them. So I just added a new dance-exercise technique I saw on TV which I do only when I'm alone (if I tell you what it is, I'll have to kill you, he he...). 

But anyway, Happy Birthday to the following: Sharon, Cindy, Dawn, Debbie, Jasmine, Jon L., Justin, She and Snoozer. Sorry if I wasn't able to greet most of you guys in time...And, oh! Happy Aniversary...to me!!! It's my first-year aniversary here in Multiply!
