Top 20 signs of a Pinoy flick

2009-01-26T17:19:00.000-08:00

I found this on Yahoo!. Would like to share:

____________________________________

So how would you know that you are watching a Pinoy movie?

Here are the “Top 20 Signs” according to a reader who didn’t identify him/herself (thanks to you!):

1. Sasayaw ang loveteam sa likod ng puno ng buko kapag nasa beach ang eksena. Alternate na lalabas ang ulo nila from behind the puno.

2. Ang kontrabidang babae yayakap sa bidang lalaki, sabay taas ng kilay at ngingisi.

3. Ang pansit, nagdadala ng malas. Uuwi ang bida na may dalang pansit para sa kanyang nanay na si Anita Linda. 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 Anita Linda at sisigaw ang bida ng “Inaaayyyy!!!” at mangangakong ipaghihigante ito. Moral of the eksena: Ang pansit ay nakakamatay.

4. Kapag may magkaribal na babae, ‘yung mabait derecho ang buhok at may bangs. ‘Yung salbahe, laging kulot.

5. Sa Pinoy action movies, ang bida hindi nauubusan ng bala.

6. Sa Pinoy action movies, kapag tumakbo ang bida, sa lupa lahat ang tama ng bala ng kalaban.

7. Kapag may mob na pupunta sa bahay kubo ng manananggal, si Vangie Labalan ang laging lider.

8. Alam mong moment of truth na kapag sinabi ng bida ang title ng pelikula (sample: Isang Bala Ka Lang or Kapag Puno na Ang Salop).

9. Ang tawag ng kontrabida sa kanyang mga goons, “Mga bata.”

10. ‘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-cross ang arms ng bida who is covering his face. Sisigaw ang bata ng, “Kuyaaa!” Next scene: Nasa ospital sila. Simula na ng drama.

11. Kapag bakbakan, hindi nasasaktan ang bida pero umaaray siya kapag ginagamot na siya ng leading lady. Next scene: Nagla-love-making na sila.

12. Kapag sinabi ng kontabida sa bida ang masama niyang plano, sasabibin ng bida, “Hayop ka!”

13. Ang bidang babae, kapag katulong ang role siguradong iri-reveal ng amo na anak siya nito.

14. Ang nanay ng mayaman ay laging may pamaypay na pang-mayaman at ang nanay ng mahirap ay laging naka-duster.

15. Ang hideout ng kontrabida ay parating mansyon na may chicks na naka-hilira sa paligid ng pool.

16. Ang mga bida sa drama, kapag nakatanggap ng masamang balita laging may pinto sa likod nila para puede sila sumandal habang nag-i-slide dahan-dahan pababa, todo iyak at kung minsan with matching uhog.

17. Kapag hindi nahuli ng mga goons ang bida, sasabihin ng boss sa kanila, “Mga inutil!”

18. Laging nakakapulot ng baril na may bala ang bida kapag kinakailangan niya.

19. Laging mas maganda ang yaya ng bida kaysa sa kontrabidang anak ng amo niya.

20. Kapag ang ending ng movie ay song-and-dance number sa beach o sa resort, ang huling frame shows the cast na tumatalon, sabay freeze.

At Eden Nature Park

2009-01-08T07:38:00.000-08:00

I was so disappointed during our Jungle Safari Party last December 11. 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.

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..

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.

Mindanao Film Festival a SUCCESS!

2008-12-27T08:00:00.000-08:00

Here's some PROOF that the Mindanao Film Festival was a success unlike what OTHERS have said. It was held at The Venue last December 21, 2008.

Trophies up for grabs for the filmmakers. Despite working without funds, we were able to come up with decent trophies and a reasonable cash prize for the Best Film. (My team received 7 of those back then.)

(100th Post!) Workshop with Director Peque Gallaga

2008-10-19T22:34:00.000-07:00

Its 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.

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.

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!

Lazy Day Sunday (again)

2008-10-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

I had a lazy Sunday yesterday. 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 desk lamp while am reading it.

I searched the web and I bumped into a lamps buying guide. 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.

Back in my room, I can just imagine where to place the desk lamp that I’m planning to buy.

Guerilla Filmmaking 6 - Day 1 Kicks Off

2008-10-11T09:25:00.000-07:00

I hurried to go to school since our group project that will be shown in the class on that very same day is not yet finished. I still have to get some parts of the presentation from my classmate.

We immediately assembled the parts of the presentation and was able to make it on time.

After the class, I decided to go to the 1st day of the Guerilla Filmmaking Workshop that is being held at Durian Oowl Bar.

The director of the film "Huling Balyan ng Buhi", Sherad Anthony Sanchez, is already listening to the participants as they develop a story out of the picture on the newspaper.

Reminiscing Technographix V

2008-10-06T09:21:00.000-07:00

I got bored and tried to search for my name. To my surprise, I got this article from this site! Oh my, I can still feel the joy of winning this competition. I remember we've worked so hard to be in the final 20 of this competition. Spent a day just to render 10 seconds of 3d animation, barely slept, and a lot of teamwork. We've been working on the project separately. Usually, we meet before going home and discuss what will be done and work on it until the wee hours of the morning. Sweet!

"95.5 WRocK came up with the highly successful Lite RocK Technographix V, a computer graphics final competition on its 5^th year, last August 17, 2004 at SM City Entertainment Plaza.

Isang paskil na nakasabit sa pintuan na nagsasabing "Dean's Office". May kumatok. "Tuloy.." sabi ng boses na nanggaling sa loob.

"Sir Dean, papipirmahan ko lang po sana 'tong excuse letter ko" sabi ng estudyante.

"Ah working student ka pala?" tanong ng kalbuhing dean.

Tumango ang estudyante. "Opo, eh nagkaroon po kasi ng event sir na kelangang andun talaga ako. Hindi po pupwedeng maiwanan."

"Aba eh, hindi ko pwedeng pirmahan yan. Excuse ka lang sa klase pag nagkasakit ka, o kaya ay namatayan... pero pag trabaho, hindi pw-"

"-hehe, ibig nyo po bang sabihin sir kailangan ko pong mag sinungaling para mapirmahan pa yan?" tanong ng estudyanteng napatawa na lang sa kanyang narinig.

"Oo naman, kung kinakailangang magsinungaling ka para mapirmahan ko yan gawin mo.." sagot ng Dean.

Nakakainis isipin noh? pero totoo to.. nangyari nung pinapirmahan ng isang estudyante yung excuse letter nya sa DEAN ng AMA Computer College - Davao.

Kadayawan: Indak-indak sa Kadalanan

2008-08-30T21:57:00.000-07:00

I arrived at AVL 4:50 in the morning since our call time was 5 a.m. I wanted to sleep because I didn't get to sleep the night before. Since the people was still sleeping when I arrived.. I went to sleep also.. LOL!

When I woke up they already left for Rizal Park where the showdown for all the street dancing participants will take place. I immediately went there also to help them setup the equipments. We will be covering the street dancing showdown live, for a local cableTV station. Since our airing will be in the afternoon and I won't be able to take pictures then, I took some pictures that morning.. :D

There were a lot of photographers taking pictures that day, Pro's, tourists, and hobbyist as well.

You have to pass these warriors before you can rent the place..

Banzai

2008-08-27T19:50:00.000-07:00

Back in my high school days, a lot of my schoolmates have this gadget clinging on to the zipper of their bags. This little gadget is so popular that some of my teacher’s back then have it. I was amused because they say it is like a pet where you’ll feed it whenever it gets hungry. You’ll know because it has a screen where it shows whether your pet is hungry or not. Also, you have to make it happy by giving your pet a toy. It can also die of course if you forget to feed it. Cool huh? Okey, I’ll admit there came a time I wanted one but good thing I immediately realized it was kinda girl thing.. haha! Not for me.

If you want to experience that kind of fun, I would say you can! There is a website that is something like the gadget that I was talking about called Banzai. Not only that, there’s a lot of free stuff also. Just go to the downloads section where you can download wallpapers and screen savers for both mac and windows.

You can try it for some time but you can purchase it online. It even has his own Myspace page!

ScreenLife Games is at it again. They launched a new Banzai game. Check it out:

Pick up Lines

2008-08-19T00:52:00.000-07:00

Me, Cheng2 and Sharon met yesterday and decided to go to the mall to have some snack. As we were waiting for Fern to arrive, I noticed a group of guys sitting in a corner and two girls in another table. I immediately sensed that they’re up to something since they’re whispering to each other while looking at the girls in the other table. Someone stood up from the guys and walked towards the two girls. I almost threw up when I heard the guy said “Hi, can I have your number?”.

If you think you can do better than the guy I saw at the mall yesterday, then join the Ultimate Flirting Championship, Extreme Style by VO5! But before you do that, don’t forget to wear your Victory Hair so you won’t be left behind.

Business Loan

2008-08-14T01:48:00.000-07:00

Me and my uncle who is in Shanghai right now is thinking of putting up a business. We’re thinking of selling musical instruments! And with that in mind, we have to think also about having a business loans. But of course, there’s a lot of unsecured business loans out there. Well… hope it’ll progress and get our business loan approved.

A gift for my friends

Remembering Alzheimer's

2008-07-31T00:41:00.000-07:00

I remember I saw a documentary one time in TV. It talked about remembering something. It talked about memories. It talked about the memories of the people inside the Home for the Aged. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common sickness that people admitted in that institution has. It’s very evident that we have to do something about it. And then I found out about this Alzheimer's Memory Walk.

This event is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer's. There will be walks in more than 600 communities. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall. Teaming up with the Alzheimer's Association, we can walk with a purpose – and move us closer to a world without Alzheimer's. Together, we can MOVE a nation and go away from the dread of Alzheimer’s.

Never behind with Cisco

2008-07-27T22:21:00.000-07:00

I’m taking my bachelors degree right now in one of the worst computer school (Bwahaha!) here in my place. If it were not because of their financial program probably I’m already finished with my degree. Anyways, even if it’s the most corrupt school in the country, there’s one program that I think is the best offer that they have, the CISCO Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) program which is embedded in our curriculum.

CISCO is the first and leading manufacturer of quality switches and routers. They have their own online academy where you can learn and study how the internet works and how you can create your own network of networks! Learn how to setup your own CISCO router manually or automatically. Create your own Wide Area Network.

I’m currently enrolled in their CCNA program which introduces me to the world of networking. We were taught to setup networks and networks of computers. We delved into cabling and some other cool networking stuff! We also tackled how to configure a CISCO router to connect to another router. Later on, we will be discussing user controls in different computer platforms.

And the best is yet to come.. If you’ll take and pass their online Cisco certification exam, you’ll have another plus on your resume! I myself am planning to take their Cisco certification exam when I’m done taking my 4 semesters in their online academy. Cisco will definitely help you to get successful in your career! You’ll never get behind with Cisco.

Sickly Week

2008-07-27T18:50:00.000-07:00

After being absent for a week, finally I’m back. After our visit to Marilog, that afternoon I already felt that bad feeling. The feeling that I’m about to get sick.

Saturday – It was already 8:00 a.m. when I woke up. And when I tried to get up, I was dizzy. I knew right there and then that I am sick. I couldn’t eat well because all the food that I try to eat was tasteless. Grandma and Cheng² usually puts a wet towel on my forehead to lower my body temperature, and it did. Well at least for hours. But when the night comes, it rises up again. And I’ll start to feel cold.

Sunday – When I got up that morning, I immediately went to the Sala because I wanted to sit and watch TV (even if I’m so dizzy). “Hala! Ano yang nasa mukha mo?” my sister asked me. “Ha?, Bakit?” I asked her back and struggled to get to the mirror to have a look at myself. Little red rashes started to appear in my face. I was nervous that time because the idea of having a dengue started to appear in my mind. Considering the fact that my body temperature sometimes goes down and up again after a few hours, I started to get nervous (who wouldn’t?). So later that evening we decided that I will have my blood platelets checked early in the morning the next day.

Monday – We went to the lab to have my platelets checked. It’s only 157k, meaning low. If it get’s below 100k, I’ll start to have nosebleeds, or gum bleeds, Dengue. I wen't to a Doctor in the OPD of SPH to have the result of my blood test read and she told me that I have to be admitted because I have signs of Dengue (see?). But I refused. I went to the OPD section of the Davao Medical Center to have a second opinion. The doctors asked me where the rashes started. "Sa face no?" the doctors asked. I said yes. And the she asked me again, "..tapos sa body na pababa?" I said yes again. And the the doctor told her assistant to check something behind my ears. She touched something behind my ear, there's a lump behind it. "Ah, yes doc meron o.." her assistant told the doctor. "Ah, Rubella and sakit mo" the doctor told me. Without an idea what it is.. i said ok.. lol.

Later on, I searched the net to know what it is. Rubella, in lay-mans term is German Measles. I really got relieved when I've read about it.

It went on like that for the next 2 days. But I still visit the lab to monitor my platelets. Luckily it went up. To cut the story short, I got my energy back, my poor appetite back (lol). I’m ok now and hopefully won’t have any health problems anymore. The only thing that’s been bothering me now is my 3^rd molar tooth. It’s growing the other way around and it’s painful when it’s scraping the walls of my mouth. It has to be removed.

After being bed ridden for quite a while, am back. I'll update you guys soon about what happened.

UFC - Ultimate Flirting Championship

2008-07-17T00:39:00.000-07:00

I’m planning to have my hair cut later this afternoon. Maybe later in the evening after attending my class. It is exam week right now. Anyways I remember when I was still at my elementary, I always cut classes when it’s Friday. Because Friday means it’s scouting. We'll line up at the field of the school and learn to march, tie a not, etc. Every time I attend these scouting sessions, there is only one thing that I don’t want to happen. The haircut inspection. I hate it! And then if you were not able to follow their prescribed haircut? Pahak is the term! Hehe! And that means you won’t be able to wear your Victory Hair.

Since you won’t be able to wear your Victory Hair, you’ll do some cute gestures to spark your crushes’ interest. You’ll clean up your face and wear that cute smile. Or there’s another way. You can use Extreme Style by VO5 or else, you’ll end up jealous and being that wimp on the corner.

And to those who are geniuses of flirting, you can flaunt your flirting techniques and try your flirting skill by playing or joining the Ultimate Flirting Championship (UFC). Try it! Ciao!

City Streaks

2008-07-16T18:11:00.000-07:00

Another photo safari was set and held last Saturday. We went uuuuuuuuuup at the rooftop of LandCo Bldg. We placed our tripods and started to frame. It was supposed to be another sunset shoot, this time at the city, but Haring Sun didn't cooperate. So I opted to shoot streaks instead. Pano Style!

I wish next time I can shoot again.. another short film or even a full length..

Multigrade

2008-07-14T02:10:00.000-07:00

Hey! We went up in Marilog last Friday to visit a school which has a Multigrade classes in it. Actually, the only class they have is a Multigrade class. Meaning, grades 1 to 3 are joined together in one class.

One of the aussies here in our office is going to make a Multigrade Instructional Video.

We left from the office at 9 a.m. I’m still sleepy when we’re travelling so I slept. We visited the office of the district supervisor first before going the actual school to do a courtesy call.

I was surprised to see that there’s only one teacher in that school. The kids were very independent because the kids only require minimum supervision. The kid in grade 3 teaches the younger ones. I even saw students in partners. They teach each other and share what they’ve learned. It’s really amazing when you see instances like these where people help each other. Even parents help the teacher to supervise the class.

It’s also inspiring when you see their learning materials because it’s improvised. They used twigs to be used as a material to teach the kids Math.

Anyway, so much for that. I have to do this best payday loan opp.

I was pissed of one time when I was doing one of the blog opportunities. I was in a hurry to finish it because I only have 12 hours to finish it and I have only 2 hrs to make it when I checked my email. The internet was way too slow! I wish I was using Charter internet that time.

Cinemalaya 2008

2008-07-08T18:24:00.000-07:00

It's past 5 in the afternoon. I was bored and waiting for my class to start. I was browsing the net that time when my phone rang. I have no idea who owns the number but still, i answered the call.

"Hello? Good afternoon.." I greeted. "Hi, 'to po ba yung number ni Mona?" answered the person on the other end. "Hindi po, kaibigan ko po sya. Pwede po bang malaman kung anong kailangan mo sa kanya?"

"Ah hindi, this is Ruth from Cinemalaya. Gusto ko lang sana syang iinform na pumasok yung film nya sa kids section". After hearing this, my heart jumped! And she asked.. "Meron ba kayong DVD playable copy nung film nya? Kasi avi yung pinadala nyang DVD eh."

"Ahhmm, ipapadala na lang po namin. Kelan nyo po ba kailangan?"

"Sa sabado na kasi ang screening nung film nya sa CCP so kung pwede mapadala nyo bukas."

"Ok po.. sige po salamat! Bye!"

Yipee! My good friend Mona's film "A Step for My Dream" just got through the Cinemalaya International Film Festival 2008! I was shooting my short film in Ampatuan while she was shooting hers in Paglat. We're both members of the Micromedia Productions! My kudos to her! I'm happy for you Monay! I hope they'll have refinance mortgage service for her.. lol!

Good catch

2008-07-06T04:32:00.000-07:00

I went to a friend/Film Director who was shooting his full length film here in Davao (he's also a Davaoeño by the way). I was told that they're quarters is at Felis Beach Resort and they'll just go around the nearby communities to look for a place fit for the scene he needs.

While waiting for the text reply to know where they are in the area, I strolled around Felis and I got these images.. care to comment?

Sunrise shoot at Pawikan Sanctuary

2008-06-29T18:11:00.000-07:00

I woke up 3am in the morning to prepare for our sunrise shoot in the Pawikan Sanctuary in Punta Dumalag. I miss called Cheng² to wake her up and also Adi who'll be giving us a ride to go there. I didn't even bother to eat because the call time was 4:30 in the morning, it's already 4:00 and I'm still fixing things up.

I fetched Cheng² first before going to the rendezvous at Ecoland. When we arrived,I saw Wacky, Epong, Chattee, Christian, Monique and her brother Mikee, Adi who's inside the mart waiting for his coffee, Lyan who's sitting at a corner and observing what's happening around him. Mark, Mommy Jojie and Doc Deb was discussing something while drinking coffee.

It was still dark when we arrived at the Pawikan Sanctuary. No one was there besides us and the insects behind the bushes. The sound of the calm waves greeted us.

We setup our gears and started clicking away.

Here's some of the pictures I took.

Calm

Serene

Taken at 4:45 a.m.

Anyway, later that day we watched Manny Pacuiao's battle against David Diaz of the US. Again, Manny defeated the American adopted Diaz through a 9th round KO. The first Asian to claim a 4 title belts in 4 different weight divisions! congrats Manny! It's ok that youre face will be beaten. You have insurance online anyway.

Believe

2008-06-26T00:51:00.000-07:00

I was on my way home when we were passing by an overpass, I saw a crowd watching a man who was sitting at the center. He’s performing the disappearing egg trick using that black pouch. I’m amazed that he can still attract and catch the attention of the people passing by. I can’t imagine what would be their reaction if David Copperfield will perform in front of them. Making huge things disappear right in front of you. Those days were gone..

Gone until this guys showed up. This guy I know is different. He made his way to the top by floating between two buildings, done the illusion that some of the respected illusionist made. He even walked on water! It’s Criss Angel and in Las Vegas, he’ll debut his Cirque Du Soleil performance called CRISS ANGEL Believe at the Luxor Hotel and will be performing live.

It’ll be exciting for sure, but unfortunately, I can’t watch his show. Not enough cheese to get me to Las Vegas. But as for you readers from Las Vegas, you can join their Text Message contest by typing in “Believe” and send it to 22122 to win 2 tickets to “Criss Angel Believe”. Goodluck and hopefully you’ll be able to watch this amazing act.

2008-06-25T00:56:00.000-07:00

I was on my way to the office this morning when I saw the billboard of Manny's fight this coming sunday. This fight must be really a tough one! Who's your bet? Place your bets now sa comments! haha!

I expect Manny to give us a good fight as always.. San pwede maki-nood ng Pay Per View? hehe

A Birthday Present

2008-06-17T23:40:00.000-07:00

I was working on an illustration needed by our specialist for her manual this morning. When I saw the picture frame hanged on the wall, I remembered the birthday present that I was supposed to be doing for my boss.

I immediately thought of a concept that somehow, manly.. I made it through Photoshop. I needed to print it BIG because the frame that they bought was big and so I turned on the large format printer and printed it. I was beginning to feel excited when I saw the output. The next thing we did was to make an embossed image of a car. What we did was paste it in a Styrofoam and cut it out.

Man it really looks good! The only problem was that the Styrofoam made a lot of mess. The particles that made it scattered all over the place because we did a lot of cutting. Good thing we owned a Dirt Devil . It easily sucked up the particles of the Styrofoam, and even the dust went in! Another good thing was that it saves energy! It uses only 70% energy to operate it, the very reason why they earned an Energy Star approval! How’s that for a vacuum cleaner?

Air Supplied

2008-06-16T02:34:00.000-07:00

I was fortunate yesterday because I was able to watch the Air Supply Live in Davao for free! :D My brother was asked to be in charge of the video mixer so he invited me. Maybe he was thinking I wanted to watch the show. Here's some pics from the concert.

Bad trip lang because my battery wasn't able to finish the show. It's ok, I enjoyed the show after all.

Double Date

2008-06-13T21:56:00.000-07:00

Strolled

2008-06-10T22:25:00.000-07:00

Guys I want you to meet my niece Kyla. I remember when she was littler I used to carry her. She was light and small. And because of that, sometimes I’m afraid to carry her.. When that happens, I’ll put her on a stroller (I don’t know if her stroller was Mutsy back then) and we go around the village.

Her stroller was like these:

But you see, babies grow fast, you won’t even notice it. I can still carry her now but not like before. She’s kinda big now. She likes to sing and dance whenever people is around her. Yeah, babies really grow fast. :D

Not Again!

2008-06-10T21:59:00.000-07:00

Ces Oreña - Drilon of ABS-CBN News is kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf. Maybe the group wants to make a buzz and remind the people that they're still here..

Still waiting what will happen. I hope they'll release her along with her production team.

Peculiar Personas

2008-06-04T20:52:00.001-07:00

These are my friends FernanDO (ayan... ikaw na gyud na feRn! haha!) and Sharon. They are also members of the Micromedia Production. If you are with them you’ll always laugh because Fern always make fun of Sharon. And then Sharon will make fun of Fern also to fight back. Though they always fight about things, they make a great team that always gets the job done.

Just like Mary and Marshall of USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight that is already airing every Sundays at 9pm. It stars Mary McCormack (West Wing) as a U.S. Marshal attached to the highly secretive Federal Witness Protection Program (WITSEC).

Brigada Eskwela

2008-06-04T18:43:00.000-07:00

Last Monday the DepEd launched its Brigada Eskwela where the community around the school will help each other to clean it up. We had a caravan. We visited and donated a gallon of paint to every school we passed on our way to our destination. We're heading towards an Elementary School in Bunawan.

Some painted the walls of the classrooms while some went to the corners of the classrooms and cleaned up the cobwebs. It was a “Bayanihan” modern style!

Hellboy II: The golden army Trailer

Sheng and I went to the cinemas last sunday. We watched Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull while waiting for the time to shoot the sunset. I was surprised to see the trailers of the upcoming movies. This is one of them. I saw the first installation, and I'll watch the second! From the brilliant visionary Guillermo Del Toro.. :D

2008-06-02T18:16:00.000-07:00

Have to make this video for all new and upcoming crime drama from USA Network starring Mary McCormack. Its about a U.S. Marshal attached to the highly secretive Federal Witness Protection Program (WITSEC). She protects and manages relocated Federal Witnesses who come from all over the country. I bet it you guys will have a lot of crying moments while watching USA Network's new original series In Plain Sight that will be shown 9pm on June 1st on USA Network. Till then!

Difficult is Worth Doing

2008-05-29T19:41:00.000-07:00

2 years ago my brother asked me to assist students from a school to do their school project. They were marketing students and were given an assignment to make a TV ad for a KTV Resto here in Davao. I will be their camera person at the same time, editor. I said yes of course because it means extra cash.

The next day we met at the client’s establishment. We then we shoot! We were not able to pull off some of the scenes because they did not plan well. And when we came into editing, I didn’t like the output. I had suggestions but it was rejected. Well, they liked the final product though, so I had no problems.

Planning is very important when it comes to this job. If you plan well, you’ll produce good quality output! Just like the makers of the new Honda TV ad. They invested time to plan their shots, the layout, the message they want to send across, and they practiced! They only proved that difficult is worth doing. The final product: EXCELLENT!

A Portrait of Basmati

2008-05-26T00:52:00.000-07:00

I was able to take a leave from the office last thursday and friday. I stayed at home and rested for the whole two days. But last Sunday, we shot the last part of my friends pre nuptial shoot. :D It was good! I hope I'd be able to share the final product to you guys soon.

After that shoot, we rushed to my friend Teng's house for another shoot! This time, for a short film. But unfortunately, we weren't able to stick to the sched for some reasons I won't tell.. Bwehehe! But as we were talking, his cat Basmati strutted like a supermodel towards Cheng² who's sleeping at the carpet. Then Basmati jumped up the chair. She posed.. and I clicked the shutter.

Whats your style?

2008-05-20T03:29:00.000-07:00

Do you like Johnny Depp? Do you like his style of clothing? Known for being introverted and serious, the Kentucky native flaunts his style prowess during public appearances, pairing retro-inspired separates with rebellious accents including thick silver rings, chunky necklaces, and wallet chains. While film buffs appreciate Depp’s acting chops, his off-camera personal style wins points with an even more discriminating audience.

I like khaki pants that are soft. I wear them with light colored shirts and I feel light when am with these kind of clothes. I remember my Dockers pair of khakis that I wear everyday at school. I love that pants! It’s just sad because I can’t wear it anymore..I missed that pair of pants.

Speaking of style.. There’s this Dockers contest going on where you create your own commercial video. I viewed some of the entries and they were all good. Some will make you laugh!

You’ve got your own style right? Show the world how much you love your pants! Create your own Dockers commercial about your pants and submit as videos to Dockers or Dockers TV Commercial Contest and have a chance to see your ad video on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on NBC!

Kokey's Park

2008-05-20T02:25:00.000-07:00

One of the newest attraction here in davao is Peoples Park. It was a sports complex before where you can jog or play with your dog on the soccer field. Then the Local Government started to convert it into a park and asked a local artist sculp statues of Mandaya around that piece of land at the center of the city.

(I'll post more pics later!)

For Fun - as a Dockers Judge!

2008-05-19T21:24:00.000-07:00

This one's a challenging entry for me! I had to make this video for Dockers contest as a judge or casting director. It was fun! I grabbed a cam went to somewhere quiet and pressed that record button. It was fun to act amazed by the videos but it was more fun to decline! I thought of me being in front of the cam but I think this one is better.

Don’t forget that you still have time to make your own entry in the NBC/Dockers contest and the grand prize winner will get their video played on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno!

Also, Don't forget to check out the latest products here at the Dockers website

Lomo Look

2008-05-19T21:10:00.000-07:00

Hi! Due to public demand (hahaha), here’s my own version of making a digital lomo. From this:

.. to this (I just removed the cup on the 2nd pic)..

Nice?

So let’s get it on!

First, make a Curve adjustment layer

.. and create a slanted S.

Then change the foreground color to Black, create a new layer on top of the two layers and fill the new layer with it.

Change it's blending mode to HUE and lower the opacity to 40%.

Flatten it and change the color mode to Lab Color..

.. go to channels tab and select Lightness (Don't be surprised if the picture turns into Black and White).

Then go to Filters>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask - change the value of Amout to 50%, Radius to 50 pixels and Threshold to 0. After that, change the Color Mode back to RGB Mode.

Now, for the last step, let's add the vignette to complete that Lomo look! Go to Filters>Distort>Lens Correction. At the Vignette Section of the window, change the Amount to -100 and the midpoint to +20 (.. or adjust it to your liking).

That's it! HTH. Please leave your comments and tell if you were able to make your own Lomo Look.

Dockers TV Commercial Contest

2008-05-19T02:44:00.000-07:00

Have you seen the videos that were submitted at Dockers contest? I suggest you check them all out! My favorite was from “Do It In Dockers” by Rick & Rich Production (Pennkraus) where the guy shows you the different situations that you can wear Dockers pants. He wore it when he committed adultery. When he’s stealing cars, when he’s plumbing (that was hilarious!), and when he’s taking a poo! Now it’s your time to make your own video! Too bad we’re not allowed to join here in the Philippines but this is for you my readers that are from the United States! Just grab that camera, be creative, and create your own TV advertisement about Dockers! The good thing is that you don’t have to purchase anything from them as a requirement to join the contest. And If you’re lucky, you’ll get the chance to watch your video during on June 13, 2008 in “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on NBC! Isn’t that cool?

While waiting for the video to load on the Dockers contest site, you might want to check out their latest products. They have a complete line of men and women’s pants, skirts, shorts, shirts, tops, dresses, jackets, sportswear and a lot more. Check out Dockers now!

I remember...

2008-05-16T22:50:00.000-07:00

I remember when my brother’s wife was pregnant, she had to visit her doctor to have her belly checked. I was happy when I found out that I already have a niece! They used ultrasound. I was just amazed by the ultrasound technician on how he operates the machine. I wonder where can you find ultrasound schools or sonography schools here in davao.

Supernatural Death Note

2008-05-15T00:26:00.000-07:00

Do you have friends that have supernatural powers? Well, I have. I remember one time we were sitting at the school gym when he approached me and told me about what he saw at the 3rd floor of the school during his night time class. He can see ghost. One time he told me he saw a ghost roaming on the 3rd floor of the school building.

My friend is like one of the characters in the movie DeathNote - Light Yagami. The difference is that Light, an ace student, can predict who’s gonna die using a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god named Ryuk. Any human whose name is written in that notebook would die. Light has vowed to use the power of that notebook to get rid of the world of evil. But when criminals mysteriously begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective "L" to investigate, and he is soon hot on the trail of Light, who must now reevaluate his noble goal. Both Light and L believe themselves to be on the side of justice, and the two match wits as they attempt to prove which one of them is "good" and which one of them is "evil."

Death Note is set to be showed in the big screen on the 20th and 21st of May in selected theatres. You can get your tickets by visiting the DeathNote site and type in your zip code at the top of the page.

An Urban Challenge

2008-05-12T18:01:00.000-07:00

The other day, my friend Kiko asked me “Coi, naa ka diri ugma”? (Coi, are you going to be here tomorrow?). “Uhuh, ngano?” (Yes. Why?) I replied. “Naa man gu’y urban challenge ugma. Basi gusto ka mag picture. Diri man gud ang isa ka challenge sa race.” (There will be an urban challenge tomorrow. I was thinking, maybe you want to take pictures. One of the challenges in the race will be held here. ). “Ah, ok. Sige lang, basi madala nako akong cam ugma”. (Oh yes, maybe I can bring my cam tomorrow).

The next morning, I was able to bring my camera after getting it from my bro’s office. It was 2:30 p.m. already when I was on the way to Kiko’s house. I was riding a jeepney. As we passed by Bankerohan Bridge, I saw a girl jogging as if she was going after something or someone. Suddenly, a sweaty man leaped from the side of the jeepney and I realized he’s a teammate of that girl. They’re the participants of the urban race.

As I enter the compound where Kiko’s place is located, I saw 3 flags formed in a straight line. I also saw Kiko, his wife’s son, Bams, and a couple of kids waiting for the participants to arrive. I also saw Smooch wearing a T-shirt of the said event. I wonder whats her participation in the event.. hmm.. By the way guys, I want you to meet Smooch…

… a 2 year old Great Dane. Here she is with Strawberry.

The task is that you will Walk with Smooch in a zigzag form passing through those flags. Easy isn’t it? You bet!

Now here are the participants doing the task..

I don't know what the guys are thinking here.. hehe.
Here's Puff (Left) and Sniff (Right). I think they're figuring out how can they get this cookie.

Do you need auto insurance?

Chill To The Bones

2008-05-11T20:27:00.000-07:00

I was watching TV last night while am doing the photos for my blog. It was a horror movie, but then I asked myself “when was the last time I watched a horror movie”? Hah! It was almost a year! I remember I was with Cheng² and we were like hiding behind the pillows and asked each other “what’s happening”?

So I browsed the net for upcoming horror movies and I bumped into THIS CREEPY Trailer. Based on the trailer, I think the movie would scare a lot of people and this will include YOU! YES YOU! Aside from being scary, the movie Frontier(s) has a controversy going on that Frontier(s) is “Unrated”, and most unrated movies don’t get to theatres and this film is doing so. Good thing they’ll be able to show it in selected theatres UNCUT and UNRATED on May 9.

Though we won’t be able to watch it on theatres, no worries! The UNRATED and UNCUT version of it will be released on May 13^th in DVD! Yes! We will be able to watch it at the comfort of our own home! With popcorns and chips and soda this time! But then again.. We will be hiding behind those pillows. Hehe.

2008-05-07T19:14:00.001-07:00

I've read a message posted by my friend Sheika on my friendster bulletin. Sometimes I get to join the production team of the show as a camera person. It's Muzika del Sur, a local TV show that promotes unity among Mindanao artists. I realized that if this was my experience.. I did the same thing.. Condemn Idol Grill!Now you will pay your debt!

** MOST OF THE LOCAL ARTIST ORGANIZATONS FLOCKED DURING THE EVENT JUST TO SHOW SUPPORT ON THE DRIVE OF PROMOTING THE MUSIC SCENE OF MINDANAO.

**FRIENDS,FAMILIES,TRI-MEDIA WENT TO WITNESS THE FIRST PRE-EVENT ACTIVITY OF THE UPCOMING MUSIC AWARDS 2008. THEN HERE GOES OUR HERO!!!!

I immediately left the office when the siren sounded. I grabbed the paper inside my pocket that read "check-white flowers" as I walked towards the flower shop. I showed it to the attendant, and she went get the flowers. Yes, it was nice. Lovely!

I walked out from the flowershop but wait.. Sha and Cheng is in McDo. I wonder what will be her reaction if someone will give her flowers in a public place..

And so, I went back to the flowershop and told them to deliver the flowers in McDo. I also texted Sha to keep her in busy because it's coming.

Yes, She recieved the flowers... Haha! Teary eyed (according to Sha).. she accepted it.

This pic was taken after we left Mcdo.

She ordered Sizzling Steak when we went to a steak house here later that evening.

.. Angel wings started to surface on my back. I can feel my feet weren’t touching the ground anymore. I’m flying! I started to flap my wings, I can hear it… I can hear... I can hear the alarm! Aargh! Yes, I realized I’m dreaming.

I’m watching TV when my colleague texted informing me that they already left their house. I started to put the cam’s battery charger, tapes, and an extra battery in my bag. Swung the camera sling on my shoulder, carried the tripod and went off to meet them.

We went to Loleng’s Mountain Spring to because it’s my colleague’s prenup pictorial! Here are some of the behind the scene pics:

...sweet isn't it?

and finally.. a pic of me..

Thank God it rained after the shoot not during the shoot...

Auraeus Solito will be in Davao!

This is a photo of my grandma's sewing machine. a 1973 disc-o-matic by the Singer Company. I only used a study lamp to light this shot.

I remember some of my shorts and t-shirts were sewn by my grandma using this machine. Not only mine, but most of my family members. Thanks lola! :D
