So late in posting the news!
Anyway, sorry Ateneo but La Salle kicked your butt in football on January 16, 2011. 5-1! A difference of 4 is just too… big.

Remembering my childhood

Sun, 19 Dec 2010 21:32:26 +0800

Ever since the FB thingo where we all changed our profile pics to cartoon characters we remembered during our childhood made me reminisce a lot for the past few weeks. Now it had this effect on me. I’v been watching a lot of shows that I really liked before! I watched AXN anime shows all over again like Gate Keepers and Vandread. I also watched Evangelion, even though I hardly remember it anymore. Now I’m watching Hunter X Hunter! This has to be the best year ender marathon ever!

If anybody remembers some favorite titles from their childhood, I’d love to know! ;)

Senior Year!

Sun, 19 Dec 2010 00:33:00 +0800

I just got home from watching a screening of Senior Year at Robinsons Galleria with Ed, Joyce and the actor of Chito in the movie, Eric Marquez. The movie was free by invitational, so it was nice to sit back and watch knowing you didn’t spent a single peso for it. Except for the popcorn and drinks, of course. The after movie experience was really fun too! I got to meet and greet the director and some stars of the movie like Celina who played Mitch and Nikita who played Solenn. I even got the chance to take pictures with them! Now that’s awesome.

The film definitely deserved its “Rated A” recognition. Although I can refuse being biased and honestly say that I’ve seen better movies, it doesn’t leave you with just an “okay lang” feeling cause it was on a caliber far greater than that. Heck, in my opinion, the movie quality and production of Senior Year was even better than the movies from the movie giants. Hands down to sir Jerrold Tarog for that. It was my first time watching an indie film and the experience helped shape my view on indie, and I find it undeserving of the underestimation it’s currently getting. Indie films should be noticed. Don’t and your missing a lot. Anyway, maybe its just because I’m still a fresh graduate of high school, but I could totally relate and appreciate the film. It left me reminiscent of the last years of my secondary education. I suddenly miss being in high school all over again. Thank you Senior Year for the wonderfully free and worthwhile two hours I spent today.

Movie later!

Sat, 18 Dec 2010 13:29:00 +0800

I’ll be watching Senior Year later with my blockmates at Robinsons Galleria! Will post about it later. I’m excited to see and laugh at my friend who’ll appear in the film! Sorry Eric.

The Senior Year Experience
by Jansen Musico

Senior Year (2011)
D: Jerrold Tarog
S: Che Ramos, LJ Moreno, Ina Feleo, Daniel Medrana, Celina Peñaflorida

Senior Year is a sequel to Faculty, Jerrold Tarog’s short film centered on Joan (Che Ramos) and Ria (Bea Garcia), two teachers with two strong opposing views on education. The impactful short was well-recieved by both critics and audiences for its sharp dialogue and eye-opening take on the Philippine educational system. Viewers of Faculty would probably still remember its biting finale, which, this time, serves as the launching pad to this new full-length offering that takes us back to our last days in high school.

Now a teacher at St. Frederick’s High School, Joan finds herself shepherding a batch of graduating kids to be the future movers and shakers of society. One in particular is Henry (Aaron Balana), the batch shoo-in for valedictorian who’s finding a hard time mentoring his supposed stalker, the calm and quiet Sofia (Rossanne de Boda). She’s often staring into space admiring the beauty of Solenn (Nikita Conwi), the batch’s saucy queen bee who’s bestfriends with high school power couple Briggs (Daniel Lumain) and Bridget (Mary Lojo). Another couple, though not official, are the the anti-it pair of Chito (Eric Marquez) and Mitch (Celina Peñaflorida). These two serve as the all-knowing eyes of the school, often dispensing advice to the trio: the ever-protective Bunda (Francez Bunda), the secretly-admired Steph (Sheila Bulanhagui), and the out and proud Carlo (Daniel Medrana).

Now don’t think that this is another Dead Poets Society, The Breakfast Club, or even Aureus Solito’s Pisay. It’s not. Tarog’s version of high school is fresh, yet familiar enough for everyone to feel like they’re walking down the halls of their own alma maters, whether you’re still in or out of it. High school alumni would probably get a blast from the past as soon as the lives of the characters start playing out. It’s a disorienting onslaught of uniforms, teachers, names, libraries, classrooms, cafeterias, and gymnasiums. It’s as if we’re exchange students getting our first taste of the campus, but all of this fades away once all the introductions are done. Soon enough we start laughing and gasping as the all-too-familiar high school feelings start creeping in.

The film makes use of stereotypes; why shouldn’t it? High school, for a fact, is full of labels and people who wear them proudly. There are jocks, bullies, popular kids, and those who fall way out of the radar. Despite the restrictions of adhering to stereotypes, the seniors still burst out from being one-dimensional paper dolls into human beings. This can be attributed to the well thought out story. Each character in the film does not only put on stereotypes, they play real students who go through real problems high school kids face, such as finding the right college, discovering their sexual preferences, falling in and out of love, and the like. For this reason, it was the perfect decision by Tarog to assemble a cast composed of real students and indie heavyweights.

Che Ramos, so far, can do no wrong. Though her character is less serious this time around, she still fully embodies the enthusiastic educator she played in the short prequel. As for her students, all of them do well, but three, in particular, shine. The first one’s Nikita Conwi, whose take on your typical airhead Solenn was spot on. She’s that perfect Candy girl you just love to hate, but admire at the same time. The second solid performer is Daniel Medrana, who notably played Raymond in Pepe Diokno’s Engkwentro. In Senior Year, he does 180 to play the flamboyant, effeminate Carlo, and he just nails it. He’s able to adapt dramatically by switching from serious to hilarious. Whether he’s being tormented or exchanging quips with Bunda, he delivers. Rounding up the best teens is Celina Peñaflorida, who fully embraces the two sides of her character: apathetically cool and insecure.

Technically, the film is good. This does not come as a surprise since the people at the helm have always been consistent with their work. Mackie Galvez was able to carry over the visual feel of Faculty. By also adding raw footage of the students at school, he and Jerrold preserved a semblance of reality. Johnoy Danao’s songs were also a nice touch, gently cradling the movie at just the right points.

What separates this film from previous high school flicks is its unique glimpse of the future. The narrative seesaws from the batch’s senior year to alumni reunion, showing the progress of the characters’ lives. The parallelisms of past and present are all too revealing, not only of the changes in each of the students, but also of real life. The gaping differences effectively weigh expectations and ideals against realities. They give commentary on change and how change is carried out. To give the ending out now would be an injustice to those who have not had the chance to see this film. But just know this, if you thought Faculty’s zinger was optimistic, Senior Year’s last line will give you a lot to contemplate.

—
Senior Year will be in cinemas in March 2011. Do yourself a favor and save enough money to see it. Support quality independent Filipino films. Don’t just say you will, do it. There has been too much buzz on independent cinema but not enough moviegoers to match it. If audiences are really sick of the same generic offerings of the big studios, support this film and other quality indie films to start a change in our local cinema.

Saving Ourselves (Preview) by Never The Less

This is what NTL has been doing over the weekend. Expect the completion of the EP, soon! ;)

Oh and just a little background on the song. If my memory serves me right, Saving Ourselves is the very first original composition I wrote for NTL way back from 2(?) years ago. About the message of the song, it’s a story of a couple who thinks they’re ridding each other’s freedom. For people who think they’re “under” or “nasasakal”. ;)

The Girl’s a Straight up Hustler by ATL

Cover by me =)))))) For Bien Ambat, my one true love ♥

It’s autotuned, of course, because of Allen =)))))))) (Sorz, idol) And you can hear me trying to stop my nose from running =))))) Eww ngongo. My lyrics are all messed up, forgive me -___-
Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets,
coloring my senses cherry red;
at least for this week.
Kisses under starry night skies,
talked about in song, we play along,
so bitter sweet by our design.
I'm sick and tired of writing songs about you.
This is it, this is the end.

Take off your makeup and put down the camera,
choke on the drama that makes me want to,
tear up the pictures, the pages you've saved,
creating a life of trends and make believe.

I've got no place in my heart for a criminal like you to dwell in
this endeavor, make this last forever.
I'm just delirious.
You can't be serious.
You're so infamous for leaving me a mess.

Carry on home, I'll be waiting miles and miles away,
leaving you to be forever seventeen,
cleaning up the messes that you've made.
I know I suck, fuckoff, this isn’t for you anyway =))))))))

Very good! :-bd

Allen Guarnes - I Wish That You Were With Me

Hi guys! I’ve been working on a solo project for the past few weeks and finally I have some material! This might not be the final version yet cause it obviously needs more editing. :) But meh, here it is!

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?hpxxz29zb8x6baz

I Wish That You Were With Me

Chorus:
And it feels like
the world’s tumbling over
i can’t find
the right words to say
when i close my eyes
its only you i see
i wish that you were with me

Verse 1:
lots have changed
but you still have my heart
and i scared off for a while
but now im stonger than before

i will wait for you
even though
every second kills me inside
kills me inside

[Chorus]

Verse 2:
someday i will take your hand
and never let you go
and we’ll live happily every after
you are mine and i am yours

i can already picture my last day
and its with you
to spend my whole life just for you
just one of the sweetest things I’ll do

[Chorus]

Bridge:
i should’ve known
should’ve felt it for a while
that my dreams were close to coming true
cause you love me too
and i love you

[Chorus] x2

Having all that power in my laptop, I’m ONLY enjoying PS1 Games using an emulator! Weird. I could probably play the most graphic heavy games right now, but I don’t!

I even have, COD, NFS and Mirror’s Edge, but I rarely even play them! :| Parang, ang sayang ng laptop ko sakin. =))
