Cinemalaya VI.

***

Went to Buendia for another interview. I was in a hurry kasi mali yung nasakyan kong bus. It was suppose to be MRT Buendia, not LRT Buendia. Ang tanga din nung driver kasi, i reminded him na MRT Buendia two times. Malay ko bang LRT Buendia pala sila. So, sumakay ako ng papuntang sakayan pa-mrt which i dont know what the plaque said, pero dahil sinabi ng ale' na, 'yan sakyan mo', sumakay na ako. Then, sumakay pa ako pa-mrt na sobrang traffic papunta kasi puro eskinita. Naba-badtrip na talaga ako. i even asked myself to calm down. Inhale-exhale. When i came to MRT, what do i expect? Haba ng pila. Buti nalang it's 3 stations away from taft. Whew. Pagod na ako, wala pa ako sa interview. Shoot! I came by the office na sobrang pagod. As usual, the interview lasted for a minute or so and im off. We'll call you blah.blah.blah nalang naintindihan ko pero nagulat ako sa confidence na pinakita ko that time kasi for the past interviews, parang tinatamad ako or parang wala ako sa mood. But this time, parang iba. Okay pala sakin ang mapagod muna.
After the interview, bumalik ako sa taft, lunch in Metropoint. I decided to took orange cab pa-MOA para dun sumakay pa-CCP, but just like kanina. Stupidity hits again. Nagpabalik-balik ako sa LRT Buendia-MOA and i ended up riding a cab. Stupid stupid stupid.

Nakahinga na ako when i started roaming around the CCP. It's been a year. I saw Mariss and the rest of COM41 including Papabear (Paul Putong) and Mama Bear (Rea Abella). They've been a friend at sinamahan muna nila ako for awhile habang wala pa si Lobelle. Nagtingin tingin muna ako ng gallery ng mga entries. I missed this. Sa tagal kong pagpro-promote and uber excitement, finally. Im gonna be able to watch the entries. Tween and I watched first, 'Limbunan' It is a story of a Maguindanoan tradition in which Ayesah (the main character) is bethrowed to a man she doesn't love. She is torn choosing between love and loyalty to her family. To top of it all, i find the story okay. Although mabagal yung phasing ng story, i find the characters line very very good. Kakaunti lang, pero sumasapol sa puso.
The second full-length that we watched is 'Donor', casted by Meryll Soriano and Baron Geisler. Eto nalang ang comment ko: Handsdown. Ibang klase yung movie na to. Sobrang bumilib ako kay Meryll and Baron. Lalo na sa Director, Mark Meily. Ang Husay.
After movie, hang-over pa kami talaga. Excited na ako tuloy mapanood yung iba. Next: Rekrut, Two Funerals plus the shorts.
