Because everybody is a zombody.
:) Apparently, hindi lang Ang Babae sa Septic Tank turned to be a runaway success.
As soon as you click play you will realise this song will probably have the most meaning to your life/childhood.
As you listen to this it will bring back so many memories, so many laughs along with tears. But one thing is certain as long as we stick together the faith will never die, Harry Potter will always be our past, our future, our present and most importantly it will live on forever. Even though the journey is coming to an end it is certain it will never end, because it’s kept us all so strong over the years, it’s taught us about friendship and bravery and more importantly it helped us to believe in magic, so as this song plays lets just take a few minutes out to thank JK rowling for the wonderful world she created for all the people she introduced into our life. The friends we gained due to Harry Potter, the belief that if you fight until the end everything will finally feel safe and happy. We’ll hold up our wands on July 15th for the first official showing of the finale we call our childhood. <3
Why do I feel like this needs a Dr. Suess rhyme to go with it?
Then the Dark Lord gave Draco a pat.
It wasn’t a hat.
It wasn’t a cat.
Draco did not like the feel of this pat.
It was a strange pat and he did not like that.
It was a strange pat and he did not like that.
:’)) And I can no longer remove the extended cut from my mind.

Swelter, Sizzle, Boom
by Jansen MusicoAmok (2011)
D: Lawrence Fajardo
S: Mark Gil, Nonie Buencamino, Gary Lim, Dido DelapazThere is a popular Pinoy novelty rhyme that would best sum up the Amok experience: “Shit! Sobrang init! Abot singit! (Shit! It’s so hot! It’s reaching my crotch!)” Lawrence Fajardo’s Cinemalaya entry generates enough heat to make his audience’s balls sweat. The opening sequence places the viewers in the middle of Pasay Rotonda on what I assume is a hectic Baclaran Wednesday. The streets are heavily congested, the traffic is suffocating, the sun is merciless (evidenced by the copious amounts of sweat drenching the characters’ armpits), and the blaring noises all around are unbearable. Every little detail put together is enough to make anyone’s blood boil. It’s the perfect setting for anyone to run amok.
The film makes use of a multi-character narrative, with distinct mini stories ricocheting off one another. There is a father and son eagerly waiting to go to the province, workers killing time playing pool, a barbecue vendor nagging her little girl, and other small, interesting story arcs with bit players waiting for that one incident that would tie them all up together—a wild shooting spree care of a vengeful gunman.
The fact that this kind of film was ever shot in a place that would imaginably be a producer’s worst nightmare is a feat. It takes guts to create something so complex in a location that’s so volatile. Perhaps this is why Amok worked well as a finished piece. Aside from all the colorful figures plucked out from Pasay’s thoroughfare, the locale itself became the most important character; the filmmakers made sure to weave it in. This shouldn’t take away any merit from the actors, though. Some gave very impressive performances.
One of the most noteworthy appearances is that of Mark Gil’s. Fajardo and Gil have a director-actor relationship that just clicks every time they work together, and that is carried over here. Gil goes all-out as a washed-up two-bit action star stuck in his short-lived glory days. His arc was very brief, but still insanely hilarious. It’s a welcome break, painting some light in this dark and suspenseful comedy-drama.
Unlike those of many films in the same genre, Amok’s suspense isn’t so reliant on the element of surprise. It is the careful pacing which makes it so effective. As if a kettle of water placed on a stove, the movie is made to heat, steam, and boil into a loud whistle. Amok starts off slow with a stretched drag and then gradually picks up its pace until the audience is finally treated to a flurry of intertwined events. This is the film’s greatest strength, but it’s also its weakness. Since movies, in general, are basically split in three acts—beginning, middle, and end—the conclusions of all the little stories, which were all so meticulously fleshed out during the first act, felt so rushed. Some of which even seemed they lacked a finality that would place a period on their running tales. Whether it was the filmmakers’ intention to leave some things open-ended, I cannot truly say. Maybe it was? The film treats its audience like voyeurs eavesdropping on private conversations. We, the audience, get involved, and that’s what makes it engaging. But just like eavesdropping, we get cut off without warning, and we’re left to meander with the ideas we gathered.
Technically, the film was good, but for a person aware of the setting’s geography, mentally placing each of the characters in the environment was a tad bit confusing. The strong, crisp visuals, and the witty play of on-screen elements made up for any negligible faults. Though the film is about running amok, everything played out with such precision. It’s organized chaos, a good counterpoint for the film’s subject matter.
I’m very much excited to watch Cinemalaya once it’s screening at the UP Film Institute. I still have no idea which movies to watch- they all seem promising- but Amok would probably be one of them. Any one with me? :D
I love Madame de Pompadour’s sense to style.
Portrait of Madame de Pompadour - François Boucher
I believe there’s a movie that’ll be released soon about Madame de Pompadour.

Flipped (2010)
I just had another favorite movie. At first I thought it will just be another puppy love story for teenagers. No. It was something more than that.
This should be the kind of film the Philippine t.v. networks let the young Filipinos watch, and not some sabaw and irritating landi-an of Tweens and all those crappy “youth-oriented” shows they call.
Yes, this movie was about young love, yet it proved to be more intellectual and true in some kind of way.
PB Club, game?
