Hello again. Took a short break because Puffy Ami Yumi's "Boogie Woogie No.5" was playing on the tv... yes, a Jpop music video on cable tv, and no it was not on the international channel. -_-;;
Just got back from a rather interesting experience known as the movie "The Debut." First heard 'bout it from mother about three months back, and it was recently brought to my attention by APC when the director/producer/writer offered to do a Q&A session with the club. Of course, on such a short notice we couldn't scheduel one... and a pity because the guy's pretty cool. I wanted to know where he got the main idea for the premise of the story; basically it's about a pinoy who wants to go to CalArts instead of UCLA for med. school... Yep, already this is starting to sound familiar.
The place was packed with my own kind... and I was affeared for all the non-filipinos 'round us. Especially in the arcade where they not only had DDR 5th Mix, but also PercussionFreaks 3rd Mix, Dance Freak, and EZ2Dancer 2nd Mix. Seeing all three being played at the sametime is a hailstorm of dazzling lights and fast-paced motions. But back to the movie.
Sincerely, you have to watch it (if you ever get a chance) with an audience of filipinos. Otherwise, like the reviewer who wrote about it in the Neon, you won't get all the inside jokes that make the movie so great. Examples? At the 'debutante' ball they set up the usual buffet/potluck complete with those chemical burners to keep the food warm. The father eats Longanisa for breakfast at the last scene. One of the main character's, Ben's, friends comments on the large set of wooden utensils hanging on the kitchen wall. Same said friend comments on the great taste of chocolate meat ::cough cough::.And the best part? The director graciously forgot to subtitle the meaning for the words "putagu na mo." ^_^ That phrase is used quite often in the film. I say the entire APClub should go watch, and also PA since they too are working on stuff for APMonth.
... Now time to return to my recent cycle of 10-hour sleeps. Main reason why I've been getting out of the house at near-tardy hours. Yargh.
Brought the self portrait home. Now need to work on it.
Oh, and looks like I might not be able to go to anything tomorrow. I have a history paper to write which I still need my sources for... Yeah, I need to shape up. I'd die if I did this in college.
