These blog entries are MOSTLY just how I felt after watching the play, musical, concert or TV show, a product I like or things I have read. If I have not at least one good thing to say, then you wouldn't see anything written about it here. Oh, btw, I would seldom(not never) write about blockbusters even if I love them starting today(26 June 2019) just because. :-)

We never saw the trailer, but we watched this because of THE Eddie Garcia and Ms. Gloria Romero then just before watching the movie, I was very happy to see the other stars on the poster
Let me start with what my dad exclaimed after watching the movie, "This should be the Best Picture. It's world class!" He rarely uses "world class" describing a Filipino Film, so I believe he really is impressed. We are too.
The story is very controversial, most especially since it is set in a fictitious town called San Martin where people are narrow to close-minded. Even so, the movie is more than those controversies happening in reel and real lives. It's about true friendship, true love, family relationships et cetera, et cetera.
Everyone was chosen well, and thankfully, they were able to immerse in their respective roles, and they ALL delivered!
For me, Ms. Gloria Romero stood out, but I was also in awe with Aiko Melendez and Sunshine Dizon.
I'm so impressed with Ross Pesigan and Shido Roxas. I think, but I'm not sure, it's the first time I watched both actors in a movie, but it's only Shido Roxas who is being introduced in this film.
There is no dead air. Even Albie Casiño's lines, though his role was short, were greatly delivered.
I won't do a roll call anymore.
Kudos to EVERYone involved in this movie in any capacity.
To you dear reader, thanks for your time. I hope you get to see it too.
From Pep.ph Sigh. I have separation anxiety #sepanx with this series that I have grown to love. It had its off days, but MOST of the time, the scenes are exciting, putting me to the edge of my seat, giving me cheap thrills, or making me laugh. There are times when I get traumatized by a scene or two, that I have to play the piano first before doing my research or anything else...or for me to have happy thoughts before sleeping. That's how effective the script and execution are. Or else, why should it be so real to me when I know that it is only a work of fiction? It's not really advisable for people who have PTSD to watch this, according to my friends who tried watching this, but couldn't because it was so convincing that they had to undergo cleansing rituals so-to-speak before becoming OK. If the very supposedly harmless COCOON could do that to people with mental health issues, then I guess something like this that is so...
Introduction that you may skip: Learning about this movie made me pretty excited to watch it. It had a different concept, and I was prepared to cry a lot. I was told that for me not to shed tears in a movie, I should really be armed with lots of tissues. Dang. Even with all the preparations, I still cried. You see, my maternal grandmother was deaf, and she could only hear us with a hearing aid. Since I was little I was scared of being deaf, so I prepared for "it" with the hope by preparing I won't ever go deaf. I served in the Deaf Ministry for a couple of years, but when my mom and I started fighting because of the things she misinterpreted, I told myself I should stop serving because it would make me look like a hypocrite, even if I am not. I do miss them a lot, but I would rather serve in different ways. ISA PA WITH FEELINGS source Watching this with my partially deaf mother, and my dad, who is hard of hearing because of his med...
source Elzar "Dodjie" Simon is not really a stranger to me. He was my brother's boss in ATI, and he was one of the many invited guests who was able to celebrate with us during my brother and sister-in-law's wedding in 1998. My brother only has praises for him. I was excited to meet him again last 14 July 2016, but it coincided with CURTAINS UP , so I just joined my family in Spirit. A.I. HACKED The book has been receiving rave reviews ever since it was launched so when I saw on the author's FB page that he was having a book signing event at Fully Booked's The Studio at 11th Street, BGC, I was psyched. A few days after I learned about it my brother announced that we were going, and he has already ordered one paperback and one hardbound. I thought one was mine, but it turned out it was for my dad, but it's OK. My parents live with me, and my dad read books one-by-one, and now he is still reading my former Pastor(Richard Mirpuri)'s Glimp...
