Would like to share:<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">____________________________________<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>So how would you know that you are watching a Pinoy movie?</p><p>Here are the “Top 20 Signs” according to a reader who didn’t identify him/herself (thanks to you!):</p><p><b><i>1.</i></b><i> Sasayaw ang </i>loveteam<i> sa likod ng puno ng buko kapag nasa </i>beach<i> ang eksena. </i>Alternate<i> na lalabas ang ulo nila from </i>behind the <i>puno.</i></p><p><b><i>2.</i></b><i> Ang kontrabidang babae yayakap sa bidang lalaki, sabay taas ng kilay at ngingisi.</i></p><p><b><i>3.</i></b><i> Ang pansit, nagdadala ng malas. Uuwi ang bida na may dalang pansit para sa kanyang nanay na si </i>Anita Linda. <i>Tatawagin ng bida ang mga bata para kumain at kukumustahin niya ang pag-aaral ng mga bata habang kumakain sila. Biglang may titigil na sasakyan sa harap ng bahay at pauulanan ng bala ang pamilya. Mamamatay si </i>Anita Linda<i> at sisigaw ang bida ng “Inaaayyyy!!!” at mangangakong ipaghihigante ito. </i>Moral of the<i> eksena: Ang pansit ay nakakamatay.</i></p><p><b><i>4.</i></b><i> Kapag may magkaribal na babae, ‘yung mabait derecho ang buhok at may bangs. ‘Yung salbahe, laging kulot.</i></p><p><b><i>5.</i></b><i> Sa Pinoy</i> action movies, <i>ang bida hindi nauubusan ng bala.</i></p><p><b><i>6.</i></b><i> Sa Pinoy </i>action movies,<i> kapag tumakbo ang bida, sa lupa lahat ang tama ng bala ng kalaban.</i></p><p><b><i>7.</i></b><i> Kapag may mob na pupunta sa bahay kubo ng manananggal, si </i>Vangie Labalan <i>ang laging lider.</i></p><p><b><i>8.</i></b><i> Alam mong </i>moment of truth <i>na kapag sinabi ng bida ang</i> title<i> ng pelikula </i>(sample:<i> </i><i>Isang Bala Ka Lang</i><i> </i>or<i> </i><i>Kapag Puno na Ang Salop</i><i>).</i></p><p><b><i>9.</i></b><i> Ang tawag ng kontrabida sa kanyang mga </i>goons, <i>“Mga bata.”</i></p><p><b><i>10.</i></b><i> ‘Yung nakababatang kapatid ng bida habang naglalaro, mabibitiwan ang bola at mapupunta sa gitna ng kalsada. Pagkatapos, may darating na sasakyan at itutulak ng bida ang bata at ‘yung bida ang papagitna ng kalsada. Naka-</i>cross<i> ang</i> arms <i>ng bida </i>who is covering his face. <i>Sisigaw ang bata ng, “Kuyaaa!” </i>Next scene: <i>Nasa ospital sila. Simula na ng </i>drama.</p><p><b><i>11.</i></b><i> Kapag bakbakan, hindi nasasaktan ang bida pero umaaray siya kapag ginagamot na siya ng </i>leading lady. Next scene:<i> Nagla-</i>love-making <i>na sila.</i></p><p><b><i>12.</i></b><i> Kapag sinabi ng kontabida sa bida ang masama niyang plano, sasabibin ng bida, “Hayop ka!”</i></p><p><b><i>13.</i></b><i> Ang bidang babae, kapag katulong ang </i>role<i> siguradong iri-</i>reveal<i> ng amo na anak siya nito.</i></p><p><b><i>14.</i></b><i> Ang nanay ng mayaman ay laging may pamaypay na pang-mayaman at ang nanay ng mahirap ay laging naka-duster.</i></p><p><b><i>15.</i></b><i> Ang </i>hideout<i> ng kontrabida ay parating mansyon na may chicks na naka-hilira sa paligid ng </i>pool.</p><p><b><i>16.</i></b><i> Ang mga bida sa drama, kapag nakatanggap ng masamang balita laging may pinto sa likod nila para puede sila sumandal habang nag-i-</i>slide <i>dahan-dahan pababa, todo iyak at kung minsan with </i>matching <i>uhog.</i></p><p><b><i>17.</i></b><i> Kapag hindi nahuli ng mga </i>goons<i> ang bida, sasabihin ng </i>boss<i> sa kanila, “Mga inutil!”</i></p><p><b><i>18.</i></b><i> Laging nakakapulot ng baril na may bala ang bida kapag kinakailangan niya.</i></p><p><b><i>19.</i></b><i> Laging mas maganda ang yaya ng bida kaysa sa kontrabidang anak ng amo niya. </i></p><p><b><i>20.</i></b><i> Kapag ang </i>ending<i> ng </i>movie <i>ay </i>song-and-dance number<i> sa </i>beach<i> o sa </i>resort,<i> ang huling </i>frame shows the cast<i> na tumatalon, sabay </i>freeze.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Opportunity Knocks Only Once....

Why disappointed? Because when we went there a day before the party to decorate the place for the said event, they didn't allow us to light the torches that were supposed to be placed during the event. I understand that we have to secure a permit from the Bureau of Fire Protection but they should have informed us beforehand.<br /><br />It was 9:30 p.m. already and the program ended. We were planning to at least enjoy the night through dancing. But dang! They informed us that we should vacate the place because a wedding planner have to decorate the place for their event 2 days after! They were not kind enough to let us enjoy the night considering that we occupied all of their rooms. I was already thinking to burn the place down..<br /><br />The next morning me and Earl managed to take some shots. Though the management was not kind and considerable, at least the view was nice.<br /><br /><center> <span style="font-style: italic;">Gardenia</span> </center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/3128823568_4e6a7d603c.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/3128823568_4e6a7d603c.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><center> <span style="font-style: italic;">Moonlit</span> </center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3127996667_605d47aa55.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/3127996667_605d47aa55.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><center>Bugged</center><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/3111963871_74ee943fc7.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/3111963871_74ee943fc7.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Opportunity Knocks Only Once....

Workshop with Director Peque GallagaIts my 100th post! And I would like to share a portion of what happened last Saturday. I hurried and took a taxi to Durian Owl where the workshop would be held. When I arrived, there were already some participants comfortably sitting on the sofas.<br /><br />After a while the director of the movie "Oro, Plata, Mata, Batang X, Scorpion Nights, Magic Kingdom, etc.", director Peque Gallaga arrived. I can tell that the participants were already excited after seeing him by looking at their faces. We settled at the comfortable sofas, and he started talking.<br /><br />After the whole day talking, we had a nice fellowship after the workshop. Dish Avenue prepared the cocktails, Durian Owl hosted the place. Good place, good food, good peeps!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtLpwfLC294/SPyWYxEtB5I/AAAAAAAAAPA/19ed6sMqjJA/s1600-h/pg01.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtLpwfLC294/SPyWYxEtB5I/AAAAAAAAAPA/19ed6sMqjJA/s320/pg01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259243817095989138" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Direk Peque explaining "Mise En Scene" to the participants</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtLpwfLC294/SPyVViYuJSI/AAAAAAAAAOw/bZaolgwA2Kk/s1600-h/pg02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtLpwfLC294/SPyVViYuJSI/AAAAAAAAAOw/bZaolgwA2Kk/s320/pg02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259242662102181154" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">The people behind Mindanao Film Festival - Guerilla Filmmaking strikes a pose with Direk Peque.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtLpwfLC294/SPyVWPxoDiI/AAAAAAAAAO4/PsP_dxPFtCM/s1600-h/pg03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RtLpwfLC294/SPyVWPxoDiI/AAAAAAAAAO4/PsP_dxPFtCM/s320/pg03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259242674286235170" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-style: italic;">Direk Peque doing the "owl" pose.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Opportunity Knocks Only Once....

I just stayed in my room while waiting for my brother to go home. He is using the camera that I needed to capture a video to my laptop. While waiting, I went up to get one of my sister’s books and read. I realized I needed a <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Lamps">desk lamp</a> while am reading it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I searched the web and I bumped into a <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Lamps">lamps buying guide</a>. They have moveable and fixed lamps. Good and fashionable designs too. You can easily find what you want when you visit their site because the lamps are categorized based on the kind of lamp.<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Back in my room, I can just imagine where to place the <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Lamps">desk lamp</a> that I’m planning to buy.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Opportunity Knocks Only Once....
