Sa isang buwan lagpas singkwenta katao ang nagtatanong (via text; PM sa multiply at FB; sa e-mail, say it!)…….”kelan mo ibabalik ang BOOSTER FLASH at SHOOTING EVERYDAY PEOPLE?” Hmmmmmmm =P
Kanina, pumasok ako sa Tempura (Rob Midtown) para kumaen. Kausap ko si Doc Sis sa phone. Siempre winel-kam naman nila ako at pinaupo. Pagkaupo ko ang head waiter sabi sa akin, “Sir, close na kami”. So siempre napa-pause ako sa phone conversation at………alam n’yo na ang nangyari. hehehehe. After a while, nasa akin na ang mainit na mainit kong foodang. =P
Happy Birthday Tita Boots Anson Roa! All the best to a valued mentor, leader, actress and educator. God bless always. =)

WatchI find this trailer most interesting. I wish I can view films like this again. Never mind that I can’t see this in the Philippines. I wanna see it in a movie theater anywhere in the world. =)

is going to UP TechnoHub with Jetskie to attend a meeting for a live TV concert/festival I’m directing. hehehe. =)
Great news! The first of a series of “Cuerdas 3 TV Commercial” was screened for the press earlier this morning at Barbara’s Restaurant. I’m very happy that the reception to the work was more than warm. Thank you for the text messages and the calls. The work is a result of a happy and meaningful collaboration. I believe it was reflected in the ad. =)
Codename “Project illuminati” is shelved because we can’t look for a costume designer who can work with our schedule. The producers (two of us in Pinas and one Canadian) decided that we cannot risk our funds if the costumes (which were an integral part of the music video) can’t be done with me working closely with the designers. We are grateful to all who gave their best...

For me, the best dressed at the Golden Globes 2011 were Emma Stone (A+), Catherine Zeta Jones, Amy Adams, Jane Krakowski, Milla Jovovich, Hailee Steinfeld, Eva Longoria, Olivia Wilde, Sofira Vergara and Helen Mirren. These women rock with their fabulous gowns! =)
Thank you to Peer, Noven , Camiela, Carmela, Lovely , Alma, Sean and Jetskie for a fruitful day yesterday. God bless you all. =)

Sun broadband is consistently showing signs of cancer. The signal has been so weak since the past three months. It’s gonna be dead soon. I’m weighing in options. I might get Smart Bro(ken). Is this an advisable move? I want a stick ‘cause I’m always mobile. Tattoo is the worst option.
Hours ago, I got trapped inside the elevator (of Rob Midtown —- the one near Cafe Breton). We were inside for almost 18 minutes. Help came in late (18 mins is so late if we are considering suffocation —- if you know what I mean). There were five of us inside and I was just silent and I’m like texting and texting everybody. hehehe! When the doors were opened, I just went out and...
I had a great day. I always love my PLM Desktop Publishing class. ‘glad to see Prof. Ludz Labagnoy as always. My meeting with Ms. Riya and Mapee was fun and meaningful as always. Thank you to them for the holiday cheers. And thank you Peer for the initial brainstorming. Finally, warm hello from Manila to Singapore (hello Jetskie!). hehehe! =P
Class at PLM in a while….later tonight, meeting with my TVC producers….and another meeting with my possible costume designer for my next international music video. =)
URGENT: I need a Sony FX 1000 or its equivalent ASAP. Let me know if any of you owns one or if you can refer us to someone who can lend it to us for a day. Just PM me. Thanks. =)
Corkage! →
Before I forget…”CORKAGE” is a charge exacted at a restaurant for every bottle of liquor served that was not bought on the premises. Donuts are not to be charged with a corkage fee. hehehehehe! Wala lang. May naalala lang ako. At P400 ang corkage fee nila sa donuts.
EKSENA sa Tagum….Nakita nina Mapee D.Z. Singson at Jayvee ang isang napakalaking billboard na nagsasabi…”Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone”……biglang…..*Jayvee picks a stone and throws it to Mapee!* hahahahahaaha! =P
I’m still stuck at the condo with cough and colds. Di naman ako weak. hahaha! Tinatamad lang kasi nagpapagaling. I wish my FEATI Fine Arts students can come over CCP area para dito na lang kami mag-class sa harbor square. Tutal lima lang naman sila. hehehe. Meanwhile, mag-padeliver muna ako sa chowking online. =P
