A screenwriting workshop like no other
Today marks a milestone for me as the week-long advance screenwriting workshop under the tutelage of Sir Armando Lao, the master storyteller has come to an end. For the past few days of August 8-13, I found myself listening actively to Sir Bing about film writing, film jargons with bits of his short films that he let us watch. It was his way of ( Read more... ) -
Biting Realization
Few hours ago, I found myself in the Philippine Children’s Hospital down in Agham Road, Quezon City to visit my brother who is recently confined due to multiple laceration 2 degree wound. I together with my dad and maternal grandparents walked all the way from the lobby to room 214 where Miguel is staying. I was expecting that several of his ( Read more... ) -
Flood of a sudden accident
Upon stepping at the doorstep, my household helper told me that my brother caught an accident. That explains why Mum had cancelled our 6pm mass. For an instant, my mind went as blank as a tabula rasa. I just didn't know what to do next. Not even a single tear had dropped on my cheeks. I was so stunned that for about five minutes, I just stood there ( Read more... ) -
A mixed of sweet encounter
Don't be easily fooled in the title of this entry, for the story goes beyond the name. Few hours ago, I was along Chino Roces Ave inside the jeepney when I caught sight of a sweet young couple with their hands wrapped around each other. By just that instant sight words such as a sweet and romantic immediately filled my mind. But the only distorted ( Read more... ) -
Pain and Agony of being stuck with stern parents
Days turns to weeks turns to months, I grown tired of this same old drama of being battered and blue, though not physically. More so, I have been verbally abuse. Though admittedly, sometimes it is my fault that I have to hear out the endless sermon that my parents give me-especially my Dad. *Sighs. I could only imagine myself inside the courtroom, ( Read more... ) -
Here we go again
The loud barks of exchange from one person to another or so I thought would stop. It turns out, that it might never end. Tonight, I thought that I'm going to be spared of my Dad's daily sermon. For once did I pray that my name wouldn't be mentioned whenever there are the endless and senseless discussions and what have you. I was wrong. Just because ( Read more... ) -
Misery has struck me once again
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Few minutes ago, I was delirious with joy having watched the Noli Me Tangere Musical in CCP Little Theater. Then when I got home, things got sour when I was told that I can't go to mass anymore. More so, I cannot attend the Screenwriting Workshop which I am extremely looking forward to. Pardon my words, but a ( Read more... ) -
Overflowing Graces
Marks another day,a new leaf of thought to write on paper. Another imprint of memory. When you melt your problems and sheer anxiety away, you suddenly think of a thousand possibilities of how you will fully be the person you want to be. Just think of the overflowing graces that God showers on you. One such anecdote is when I saw this dear friend in ( Read more... ) -
How she lost her beloved books
Few hours ago, I braved the heat and the terrible smell to go to Recto, Manila, to sell my Twilight books and the Gifts of Graces. All are hardbound and in good condition. It mustn't be the case. But since I direly needed the money, I had no choice but to sell my precious stuff, as in the case of those books. Note, that I sold those things because ( Read more... )
