7th Bantayan Indie Film festival

Indie Film, what comes to my mind, when you say or somebody's says INDIE FILM?


well, it's my idol Mr. Brillante Mendoza. I've been passionate about indie films, but when i hear last year that it had an indie film fest here in Guimbal, I wanted to watch but that time I was super busy. But now, this year I didn't let it slip through. I went to the Amphitheater early, i waited like 30-mins. but it was worth it.  

The films were amazing, 9 competing films. 


A link to the said films 7th BANTAYAN INDIE FILM FESTIVAL
They were:
1. ABROAD
2. ANESTI
3. CORAZON
4. LICENSE 2 LOVE
5. DANCE STUDIO
6. DIIN KAW PADULONG?
7. GITARA
8. BREAD WINNER
9. PULSERAS

All of the films are in kinaray-a which was also subtitled by English. After the premier, it was the direct to the awarding. I had already forgotten some of the awards but the Best film was given to "anesti", it was a long night of showcasing of pure artistic talent and passion for filming.

I hope someday I could join the contest and show to all my fellow Guimbalnons what my passion, love and talent for filming is.

3/14/2011

So this day, it had so many events from the morning 'till the night. But this was the morning and afternoon part. I'll save the night part later, 'cuz it was my fav. part.. hahaha okay.

So late in the afternoon, I went to Bantayan beach resort to witness the Re-enactment of the Moro-Raids and also watch the other competitions which was held there.

As i went inside I saw the Sand-Making (Porma Balas), I was amazing to watch sand artist in their fields and their work of arts. I most esp. liked this one, it was done magnificently and it was just beautiful to look at.

And also there was this competition called Pinta Lawas ( Body Painting), the one which really surprises me was one my schoolmate/batch mate was a model. woah!? seriously? So when they called his name, I was shocked! hahaha. And amazingly he was 3rd runner up, good for him! :D

The other contestants were also nice, the art in their body was also gorgeously painted by gifted artist. My cousin commented on one of the models, she said "He poses like a superhero, with some super powers" then laughs. It was kinda true I guess, 'cuz I've noticed it too. 

I took quite some time, before the champions of  last year performed, but waiting it was a worth. 

The performance gave me goosebumps esp. the acting part and the time where the Moros would come and hurt the innocent people, it was like I was transported back to that time. It was amazing. And looking at some of the government officials, some of them cried and maybe they could really feel the emotion. All in all the performance was good, that's why they were held champions last year. The emotion and the dance was also good and credits to the music too. 

After the performance, it was time to go home and get ready for the night's event which was The Indie Film Festival, it's a contest which filmmakers here in our municipality makes, yes! Indie film, it's only here, in GUIMBAL. And also I had already known the judges for the said contest later that night, they were Indie Film Makers from manila. I was excited for that night, 'cuz Indie Film had become a part of my life, and has influence me so much. Can't wait!

Acrobatic Show

This is still a part of the 9th Bantayan Festival here in Guimbal,Iloilo.

It's the second day and it was the Acrobatic Show, still happened late at night, but it was only and my cousin who went there to witness it. My gosh, it was intense, it actually made me scream. Because before I thought it would be just plain boring. But I was definitely wrong. I was funny, because of the clowns who are kinda silly and fun to watch and the acrobats are just plain talented and pure good!

There was some acts, that made the people stare, open their mouths, laugh, scream, and excited. It really made my night worth watching for.

This act was my favorite, wherein the acrobats went into this circle fire-ry thing. Where they would jump in, that crept me out and my nerves were like jumping up and down. I couldn't help but scream!

There was also the high chair act, the acrobat was cutie, from a far! hahaha. But he was soo brave! Gosh, I would be that, huh! I would literally fall and be dead by now. It was awesome to look at. 

The show ended successfully, it was awesome and i hope i could see that again nest year :)

9TH BANTAYAN FESTIVAL (opening)

Last week, here in our municipality of Guimbal, which is located at Iloilo province, it is 29 km away from Iloilo City. The 9th Bantayan festival started last April 12, 2011 and it started with a bang! I mean bang is, in the sense of Street Dance Competition. 

Yes! A street dance competition, wherein different tribes from different barangyas participate. Well, as a member of the SK in our barangay it was an obligation to help the dancers in their parade, and us too! has to parade. Then after the parade, the drumbeat competition had happened in that day too. I was sooo impress by the drumbeat, it was soo GOOD! I've always supported the drumbeat, not only the drummers (well, only some of them are cuties) but the fact is that they're really freaking* talented. And when they had staretd my heart just went with the music, it was like it was carrying me through it. Bottom line, I enjoyed it. The Opening ended with the drumbeat competition and I am confident that our tribe will once again be in the top 3! 

After that day, men! I was super tired, but it didn't stop me in watching  the Ms. Bantayan Festvial Queen 2011 later that night. Well, our tribe had a contestant, but in my opinion, gosh! She was a little a bit of a disappointment. 

But you know what it was fine, well at least she did her best, I guess? Anyways, I went home with my mom, 2 cousins and my aunt very depress of the contestant but happy because it was a nice experience. It was like 12 in the morning, the day was tiring but I enjoyed it :) 

And this was juts only the BEGINNING of a long week :)

Seven

Okay, so when I saw tis vid, I didn't hesitate not to open it and watch from the Title itself, it's an eye-catcher :)
And when the video was finish, it was super cute, and the song fits too.
Hope you enjoy it too, esp. to all Jimbo Lovers out there.

I originally saw it from : http://azkalstube.phlazkals.com/ , try visit it, esp. to all Azkals Fans, like myself :)

Beach Party :)

It was early morning ng parang nagkaroon kami ng plans na parang beach party, it was very sunny. Kasma ko yung isang classmate na babae, so basically 2 kaming babae and the rest were the boys, actually mas comporatbale kasi kami sa boys. They’re fun to be with eh, masama bah? 

The Boys were the same as usual. Very funny guys, but I love them. Kahit inaasar na ako kanila, ok lang, joke lang naman eh. hahaha. 

They became like “Kitchen Chefs” hahaha, pero infairness masarap yung linuto nila. haha.. It was yummy lunch :)

After ‘yun, yun! swimming time na! hahaha, it was super fun na maglaro sa beach with the boys. Beach volley, at may Beach Soccer pa! Hay na lang. Ganyan kasaya kapag kasama ang mga boys kahit minsan super kulit na nila. 

After the that, we all went sa house ng classmate namin, kasi malapit lang siya ‘dun, it was more like there rest house near the beach. It was nice. and I became super TAN! nooo. But the experience was worth it naman.

Kaso hinid pa kami umuwi, naglaro pa kasi sila ng mga billiards. Infainess, I was shocked ang gagaling pala nila. hahaha. 

Nice one boys.

I went home, tired, still wet. But some pretty memories to treasure, it was the best opening for summer of 2011. 

Kaso wala ako medyong nakakuha ng mga pictures kasi I was too busy, I mean so lazy to get it from my bag. ahahaha. 

This memories has a song actually, it’s The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, it’s a pretty good song, which I can say brings back memories of this day.

Summer-ready

Summer is definitely here! Some plans?

Actually, none. Except the plan between me and my classmates to attend the events in the annual festival here in our municipal. Yeah. We planned it super literally! I'm so excited to watch the Film Festival, I hope one day I could join there. hehehe.

This summer what I need is some adventure! oh yeah, if I would be given I would go to out-of-town trips with my friends, like to travel the whole Philippines, or more like go hiking or camping in the great outdoors rather to stay inside our house, which is soooo BORING!

Really excited for this SUMMER of 2011, a summer I hope I wouldn't forget and  memories I would add to my treasured heart. It's gonna be a summer to remember , really remember before senior year. yikkeess! :|

What I called the Unexpected Day

(this happen yesterday, just so you know)


It was really an unexpected day. Wanna know why?
One reason only. Seeing someone from the past, does it even brings back memories? Actually, in my experience it even adds up! why? why?
Why is this even happening to me? why?

I'll tell you the whole story na lang, so here how it goes. ..
My classmate/ friend and I were visiting a classmate of ours in the hospital, because she had like a breakdown of over-dieting? Anyways, after we had visited her, we went to the gymnasium to watch the championship game of volleyball. And a friend of us joined in, so we became 3. The 3 musketeers? haha.
okay.
It was like in the first set, then suddenly, in the corner of my EYE! I saw him. Yes him. The past. Gash! And he even had the guts to show himself for over a couple weeks he hadn't showed up!
He is soo urgh!
My friends even tried to tease me! what? They even tried paging it! hahahaha.
Because they caught me looking over him.

 Hello! Can't help to notice him! ah.. duh!
They still tease but ignorance is the  best solution, right?

Goodbye Junior Year

Summer is really here and which says goodbye Junior Year.  My time being a blue warrior was over, it was done. And within those 11 months I've learn so much about me, my classmates, my friends, my family and everything around me. The school year had ended, and I couldn't even believe it! Actually, I was afraid leaving my junior year 'cuz within 2 months I'll be a senior. That'll be BIG! 

I'm afraid of the fact that maybe some of my classmates, some of my close friends will not be classmates anymore. I would really miss all the fun things we used to do in school. The "kulitan", the tripping, and the so much more that made my junior year memorable. Esp. the JS PROM 2011, it was both fun and emotional. 

This year I've made some enemies and some long lasting friends, that I hope, really hope that would last a lifetime. 

Junior was sooo fun, me being a third year in high school had its high's and low's.

This year it taught me some valuable lessons, that I would carry on until the end of my journey. The year of the blues has come to an end, and it's time to say hello to SUMMER! and soon to SENIOR YEAR! the RED's!

AZKALS!

i am so addicted with the Philippine Azkals, u just can't stop loving 'em <3 

esp. my idol James Younghusband, he is oo adorable and CUTE :)

BLAST from the PAST part 2

i can't believe this. kani-kanina lang. i just couldn't believe it. i just can't. so, i was like buying something in a sari-sari store, because i just got home, from school and the church too and i was super exhausted, from practicing for the play and all that. when i was about to go there, i spot my ex-crush (the volleyball player), i still see him even thought he's far away from me.  i didn't notice him though, care ko? anyways, when i look back, i saw my co-kagawad with him, as usual! barakada nga eh. duh! then, he talk to me, my co-kagawad. he was again teasing me o my ex-crush. huh! asa ka pa. hindi ko nayan type noh! tsaka, he is... nothing na. past is past. why is he still doing that, kung sa bagay 'di niya kasi alam. he even told me, that my ex-crsuh likes me too. yah! right, u think i would fall for that trick again, not a chance!.
anyways, when i said goodbye, he said, how about him.. i said.. whatever! so just say goodbye for me. i mean he is sooo whatever. ugh! that is the main reason, why sometimes i hate going in that place. ugh.

BLAST from the PAST.

so, Thursday wasn't that a very good day. yeah it is. actually, it was after classes when things start shaking up. after my last period in the afternoon, i was practicing with my group for a performance in one of our subjects.. it was another english thing. i'm starting to hate that subject!! urgh. anyways.. back to the topic. it was after MAPEH class, when i was practicing with my group for a performance in our English class. when the soccer club, and also some players were coming for their usual practice, then in the corner of my eye I saw my ex-crush. i mean what!? he playing soccer? ows?? i thought he only played basketball. we'll if he plays football too, then why not, right?

well, some of my classmates would tease me, but hmpf! ignored it..
they would say #14. 'cuz he was wearing a jersey number 14, but then the boys would interrupt and say James Younghusband, my idol and my crush in the Philippine Azkals, and btw they ROCK! :)
after practice, go home!
when, i arrive home, i also went somewhere. there again oh my! double-trouble talaga. i saw my other ex-crush, (who is soo... _____) urgh! i was in a hurry, hahaha. bet he didn't notice me something. hope so.
*fingers cross*
but then, wth! i don't care anyway. i mean they are so WHATEVER.. bye past!.

after prom.

so, prom, what did happened at prom?
ohp! sorry for the late post, kinda not feeling facing the computer now, it's so not like me. anyways, prom was the not perfect. not what i really expected it to be! not to self: make up and hair do should be done at home! and also time, i was kinda late. yikess :|
okay. so it was kinda a sad night, but the disco was amazing, party people! that was the fun part, but the saddest part was the time, when sweet slow music would play and couples would go to the dancefloor and show their chemistry and sweetness. i was kinda envy of that. yah! it hurts to be single in valentines day and prom. and i was watching them, it made me feel so lonely, and i don't even know why. well, at least it was fun, i had a great time with my friends and classmates. well, i did had my first dance and i also had danced with those sweet melow songs but it was with majority with my cousins and 2 classmates. all in all i think it was nice, memorable, sad, a roller coaster prom 2011, and a very sad valentines. i hope next year, my last prom would very memorable, 'cuz i will treasure that when i will go to college soon. very soon.

PROM.PROM.

once again, it's this time. i have been waiting for prom since i was freshmen and now that i'm a junior. it makes me even more exciting 'cuz it's only 10 days away. for the past couple of moths i was soo excited. like super!

i mean, i was waiting for this moment to finally arrive. and it's only few days away. the excitement in me, was ready to burst out. all the things i want to happen, are all planned. i was that soo EXCITED! 

the details from my gown, to the makeup, to the things i have to do, and won't do. i was really pretty CRAZY-EXCIED. maybe, it's the effect 'cuz it is my first time. i can't wait. i mean, the dress is here, the accessories and the hair and the make-up. i'm just waiting for that day to come.
but then, there's one thought in the back of mind, that's still questioning this whole point. it was announce by our head program for the JS PROM'11, that each person has to have a partner in the grand entrance for PROM.
this was the part of prom that i'm very afraid of, i've seen this in some flicks, and for me as not a slim body type kinda girl, it's hard. 'cuz i know, no one will ask me. yeah! i've already guess it. and yet, up until now, no one. as in NONE! maybe there is no one there for me. (sigh)
this makes me feel so SAD, this makes me envy of my classmates, i mean in was scythe for PROM, and this would ruined my excitement. i can't believe this is happening. maybe if i was more beautiful and more skiiny, maybe someone woukld ask me. but it's only a wish, it's only a maybe. well, i have at least, a week to deal wth this. this makes me wanna cry and puke. 'cuz it really hurts me. as in OUCH!

MEMORABLE FIESTA 1/29/11

From the morining i woke up, the rest of the day was AWAMAZING!!!

Kasi pumunta ako sa barangay ng mga classmates ko, fiesta kasi nila. Or tinatawag kong food trip time! :) Me and 2 of my classmates went to my classmate’s house, kasi yung iba naming mga classmates nasa kabilang bahay, another classmate of ours pa din. After the 1st house, nang lumabas na, as in I was sooo FULL. For schort, masarap yung pagkain :)) After dun, pumunta kami sa bahay ng isan pa naming classmate, there nakita din namin, yung iba pa naming mga classmates. We were like half of the class, so basically marami kami. Dun nanood yung iba ng movie, which I have no idea, up until now. But maraming sumigaw, so i concluded, it was scary movie. Nandun din yung mga boys, they were still irritating, and kinda mean. but i know, they love me. hahahaha XD.. 

Pagkatapos dun, hay another trip na naman, kasama ko yung mga boys, mostly kasi, I would rather be with them, they’re fun to be with kasi. Pumunta kami ulit sa isang bahay pa rin ng classmate namin (remember this is the 3rd house), kumain kami dun ng sago salad (first time na nakita) It was yummy :) I really like it. After dun, nagplano kami na pumunta sa perya kaso nagchange yung mga minds nila. Go with a flow lang kasi ako, so nagpasyal na alng kami sa isang pa namin classmate, yes! another house (4th) hehehehe :)) Papunta dun, super malayo siya, but it was fun, may mga boys kasing super makulit. And as we arrived, the view was soo beautiful. Fresssshhhh AIR! >_< After dun, kumain ulit, natunaw na din kasi yung kinain namin. Again, nagplan kami na pumunta sa parang mountain dun, kasi medyo malapit sila sa isang bundok dun eh. It was very hard, papunta sa in para kang tumakbo sa Maynila hanggang Batangas. It was sooo tiring. But as we reached the top, it was sooo beautiful, as in view na view yung buong barangay. Kaso hindi ko nadala yung digicam, sayang nga eh! At elast some of my classmate has camera phone, it was very windy doon. Akala ko nga hindi ako makapunta sa tuktok, buti nga lang tinulungan ako ng mga boys. Awww.. how sweet!? weeh? Nagpicture-picture kami, it was fun. At nang bumababa na kami, it was tiring still, but the memories we had their stayes in our hearts. It was aweeesome, and did I mention na habang nandun ako sa tuktok, I screamed: I <3 u ___________

Parang natulala yung boys, tiningnan nila ako, but then I was just too happy to look at them. Nightfall, na kami nakauwi sa mainroad but it was fun, kasi marami kayo at super happy together lang. 

Yung iba nagsiuwian na, kaso kami ng 2 kong classmate ko, stayed pa. We ate dinner sa bahay ng tita ng classmate ko, more like my friend. Dun nakilala ko yung isang suitor ng isang classmate namin, gosh! ang gwapo niya infairness. 

He was very funny, but then iba naman kasi yung akin. And speaking of mga gwapo, dun nakita ko yung crush ko na lower level sa akin. GOSH! ang super CUTE niya. :3

After dinner, nagkausapan, and umuwi din. i got home around 8PM, aga nga eh. This day is very the best day ever. It was memorable, fun, happy and awmazing! :0

I think sa monday, super paguusapan ito. :)

Week-a-ster.

what a school week it was. can't believe it's finally over, and i'm glad too but, the problem is still here. moday was super pressured. it was english when my teacher announce that once again another, group project, and this time it was an interview, or more like a show. so mostly some of my classmates wants to group up with me, because i was good in editing and all that stuff. and mostly half of the boys nga eh. it was kinda hard for me to make a choice, i was so pressured so much! and my head really hurt. and the afternoon came, i finally made a decision, i group up with most of my group mates are boys, 'cuz i think i'm more comfortable with them. but there are 2 of us girls in the group, we are most likely closer to the boys in all in our class. i fely guilty for not choosing most of the girls, but then it's still my choice,right?

at least tuesday and wedenesday we didn't have class, that was the sigh of relief. tuesday was more like a middles one, 'cuz i had a meeting with my group mates, and it was okay. i think!?
And as thursday came, gosh! quizzes are just all over the place. my head really can't took it. but then i think i did well.
but friday was the very highlight of this WEEK-A-STER! i was chosen to be a candidate for presidency for the upcoming SSG 2011, oh my GOSH! seriously?
i mean, it was supposed to be given to my 2nd cousin but he turned it down, and some of my classmates don't really like him that much. i mean, our party is representing the regular section, and me, as the president running for that position is the biggest thing anyone has given to me. i mean the whole SCHOOL!? what?
i really couldn't believe, but i was unsure and up until now. i can't really that decide. i mean i wanted to help but this much? i think.... i have no idea even what to say. can i solve this? is this the opportunity that God is giving me? i really don't now. should i push forward or back out.

Falling All Over Again

It was an ordinary Sunday of January, but for me I guess not. Because it was those days, that I had felt the spark back again in my heart. I had notice that the date was the 9th, it was a month and ten days that I had made a mistake that now I had regretted. i realized, me and him revolved around the number 9, it was weird because I had no idea about this, but just now. And if you turn the number 9 in 180 degrees, it becomes 6 which is his jersey number, because he is a varsity player of the volleyball team of the school. This may sound very weird but I find it so CUTE! And I don't even know why, actually. Kinda not ordinary,right? But now, I feel like I really really LIKE him. I can't stop thinking of him <3

Biggest Mistake

i can't still believe it! happening this first school week of 2011.
i can't believe it what i heard. it all my fault, all this time i thought he was taken but i was wrong, i was making my own conclusions without even asking someone, what was the reason behind that. turns out he was just that, he likes to be sweet to everybody. gosh! it's all my fault, and i gave myself a heartbreak not him. but what can i do, it was an accident , i guess. maybe he's not really for me anyway. all those time, i thought, he was lying to me but i think he wasn't. and i was the wrong one. but i can't turn back time and rewind it, but i wish i can.
'coz now, the feeling i had for him had all faded away. it was such a waste. oh! well, life still has to continue, and i'm pretty sure. there's someone destined to be out there, waiting for me. i hope.
the feelings i can write can be express trough this song
this is "Back to December" by Taylor Swift.

and P.S
this all happened last December 2010 too.

and how i wish i could let the spark back in my heart but then i can't.

this, for the people, like me who are waiting for someone to love them. i'll be waiting for that someone soon.

Twenty Eleven change.

last year, i had my 2010 resolution, well, which only lasted for a couple of days. which was kinda funny, because i promise myself that i would do it, but nothing happen.
so this 2011, another new year, another year added to my life story. these are some changes i would like to make, i may not promise to do this but i will try myself to become these.

2011 CHANGES IN ME :

1. be more friendly and open to people
2. smile always!
3. BV go away and hello GV
4. more time for family, and let them know my true self.
5. will not (but will try not to) have another HEART BREAK!
6. be more talkative
7. from average grades to higher grades
8. lessen computer time
9. facing my fear (can't list all my fears)
10. not being too lazy
11. love my BODY :)
12. and lastly, enjoy being SINGLE? :))
13. be a good SK official
14. enjoy my senior year (huhuhu.. last year in highschool,for the next school year)

that's basically, my changes in myself and also for others. the number 1, really have to do that and 6 for the club.

i hope i could change myself into this girl, to be ready for COLLEGE to ! i'm so excited for that part. 

wish me luck here! keeping my fingers cross :)

xmas break fast finishing.

this is the last day of my xmas break, oh well! time really flies fast. and tomorrow's another school day, classes resuming! i wish another extension for xmas break, because for me, i didn't really quiet have my "ME TIME" .
i was super busy with the project, and was also super busy in the club, helping for the sports fest. but all in all i enjoyed it. the only things i didn't enjoy during xmas break was the heartache, that was not MEMORABLE at all!!
this xmas break might be a roller coaster on but then i'm really gonna treasure it, except the bad memories. because that really hurt! gonna forget thse and say hello to school and hello 2011

2010 another history book

2010, was yet another history made.
it was the year of an emotional roller coaster for me. i change schools again! i met new friends and met many people. i got to travel to many places, and i discovered my talents in photography and filming. this year was very memorable, i got to be elected as an SK official in our barangay, i had given this opportunity to help our community to excel. i was given so many blessings, and i had to shared it. i gained many friends, and i became closer to the boys. which was kinda new, in my life.
but i develop some bad habits. but i think it's normal for teenager like me, right?
i became to aware of my fashion sense too, and start having my own style now.  2010 was awesome. although, i had some issues and some little fights a long the way, but it was cool, at least i survived it and handle it well.
but as for my personal life, well, it wasn't that good. i mean i did had some very handsome crushes, but only 2 really stuck in my heart. and those 2 hurt me. 2010 was the year i got my heart broken twice. it was hard, especially in the first one was a very close friend of yours, but now, were super okay, but not like in the past that we were very tight. and the second one, well, it was still fresh. but hey! it's 2011, i had to say goodbye to that, it was to another trick upon a boy's sleeves. tricking a girl, and make her hope that you would love her, but just hope for nothing. i must forget about those things.

2011, i hope this year.. it's gonna be better.
i'll find my guy, maybe again commit some new mistakes, but mostly enjoy another year that God has given to me :)

MACHO GWAPAPITO
