YEAR 2006…

My best friend is into filmmaking lately, on my birthday she asked me about my LOLO and the incident at the Davao International Airport last March 4, 2003… They were planning to do a movie about it for the Guerilla Filmmaking 4, she’s concerned about how I still feel about the incident and at the same time gathered some infos about what happened that day… I still feel sad everytime i think of it but somehow I felt excited thinking of making it into a movie and so I decided to join them. A few colleagues of mine at AMACC including their friends and their friend’s friends were now ready to shoot for our upcoming Short film Entry. Sharon was the one who wrote the script and I’m helping her do some research about it… I really enjoyed the experience that we had during the shoot. I get to meet some friends and they were all nice and friendly… Everyday they have to go to work and at night we had to shoot for some scenes, it was really hard for them also but for the LOVE OF ART they’re still surviving though even if sometimes it takes us ‘til dawn for us to finish some of the scenes. We still manage to laugh and joke at things that happened to us, (Bakit aku nagbumba??!) Though it was really a hard task to let the artist pour his/her emotions into that particular scene but still they managed to do it. There were discussions and arguments but thank God we were able to fix it though the burden was put onto our scriptwriter, as she has to REVISE again some parts of the movie. Still we enjoyed the experience; all the late night walks on the streets carrying our stuffs and all that (Wala na kasing pamasahe…), Sleeping on a petite room with the five of us there to crowd in, going to work and haven’t sleep for nights and the revision of the script over and over again… but the good thing is we were able to finish the film and be able to see it on big screen…yeah! It was amazing…all the hardships were put into that film and you can see the people’s reaction about how the film goes, it makes you so proud of yourself… And a lot more prouder when we got almost all the awards during the awards night… All those sleepless nights were paid off… lolz… Hurray! to all the cast and crew of "MARSOKWATRO".
Awards: Best Actor, Best in Musical Score, Best in Editing, Best in Cinematography, Best Director and Red Fist Award for Best Production Value.

This has been a very difficult year for me. The year started with my Lola rushed into the hospital for heart attack. Everyone in the family was shocked and so worried coz this is the first time my Lola had a heart attack… The doctor examined her brain and told us that there was a blood on her brain and she needed to be operated but the chances are 50-50… there was some research done and discussion in the family… everyone was so worried and all we could do is pray… A cousin of mine told me that the doctor told her that na hindi na tatagal si Lola, I feel so cold.. nervous.. so down.. I don’t know what I was feeling that time…I just stand beside her, hold her hands and utter a prayer… She was in a coma for a few days and when she woke up she couldn’t hardly speak and half of her body was paralyzed.. Kept on praying every minute just thinking of her situation… I could say it was the most difficult time we ever had since my cousin and Lolo died last 2003… Our families had just been reunited again after that incident (I think so…) but what just happened to my Lola made it worst again… and I think both families will never be the same again.. just like before…
May 2006…The month na supposedly graduation namin…. but with lots of problems with my major subject Microprocessor and my panelists were so I dunno what to call them na… ggrrr… sarap k*l*m*n..ahhaha.. jowk lang… basta kainis sila… basta…(hehe).. ayun… nasettle ko na nga yung dapat isettle sa major subject ko, my problem na2man… DI na ako pina-enroll sa school namin kasi late na daw ako sa enrollment… (WOW! Milagro KAAYO!) pero pag freshmen ang ma-late ng enroll, hala..WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN…tatanggapin pa rin nila… hay… pero ok lang..ai dli jud xa okay… pero la na kong magawa hay… pero atleast now tapos na talaga ako.. Whew… just waiting for my graduation day nalang this May 2007… with lots of problems in my so called family and problems at school…thank God I still manage to go on and live my life… praying everyday that we will surmount this trials that we were having… After a few months my Lola’s feeling better already, she can recognize us, can talk again but she’s still into therapy every week so she can finally walk again without the aid of someone else… It was the greatest miracle GOD has ever given us… the gift of life.. He gave her a chance to live again and be with us… and also a chance for us to show her how much she meant to us… THANK YOU LORD!
