Thy goals set up for this important year.
Nevertheless, its make or break or tear!
Motivation nor inspiration fail..
Sadness and emptiness make me more frail!
However, its does not mean all ends here.
As I close my eyes, and feel I'll still go there..
I stare at a face which gives such thrill!
Suddenly, I felt satisfying fill!
Sooner or later, all I need to do..
Despite high moutains and across valleys..
Happiness prevails.
(Mar Roxas is our next president)
Anak ng tinapa, noong nakita ko yun pesteng advertisement niya... Nastress ako. Hahaha One time, parang nakita ko yun isang event niya, tapos may kasama pang drama na dahil daw sa CCT eh guminhawa ang buhay nila.. Tapos yakap naman ito.. Style bulok talaga! haha Isipin ko na lang, pag siya naging presidente, parang mas paurong ang growth ng bansa natin. Paano? Daang matuwid pa din. Diyos miyo. hehe
Inaamin ko, binoto ko siya noong for VP, kaso inalat kay Binay. Gusto ko siya dati kasi alam niya ginagawa niya as DTI at economic policies, kaso nung tumagal at nung natalo.. At nung nag asawa na, aba nag iba na siya.. Di na simple yun dating niya, yumabang na! Kaya sabi ko, lalo nung tumakbo siya, wala na, matatalo na siya. Pero malay mo, may magic mangyari at bigla siya manalo. Malamang ang magandang magagawa lang niya eh focus sa economic growth natin. Except sa income tax na di daw niya ibaba, feeling ko mapaparami pa yun foreign investments dito kasi isusulong niya easy to do business here strategy. Saka, isa pa naiisip ko, yun coordinating ng local government maayos niya. Yun lang naiisip na matutuloy niya, pero yun ibang problema natin..
Poverty will increase lalo pag wala siya nagawang solution sa mga mawawalang trabaho na OFW from middle east dahil sa tension and economic slowdown. Dagdag mo pa kung aasa lang siya sa CCT. Yun pork barrel, gagawin niya legal with some manuvering. Peace and order, wala siya magagawa eh yun gusot sa yolanda di niya maayos, paano pa with the other departments? Lalong magkakagulo dahil lalakas ang loob ng mga rebelde or terrorist. Di niya mahahandle yan kahit malakas pa AFP natin..
Ang huli pang problema niya, ang mga pabor sa partido niya. Grabe kung sino sino ilalagay niya sa cabinet, malamang barkada na naman.. Bwisit, mas lalong walang mangyayari sa buhay natin lahat. Hay, di ko alam kung paano tayo uunlad kung sila sila lang makikinabang! Kahit magaling siya sa talumpati, pero hanggang ganun lang yan.. Wala nang pagbabago diyan lalo malaki partido niya kasama pa si Pnoy.
Ewan ko, sa tatlong binigyan ko example, pagbibigyan ko pa si Binay o Grace, pero sa kanya, wala talaga. At nakakatawa, Wharton pala ha. He doesn't looks one especially with the decisions, dumb founded decisions he is making. Wala na tayong pag asa..
Daang matuwid na puro bahid. hehe
May forever pala sa kanya, 3rd place forever! hahaha
Well, I just finished watching this Eiga 2 hours ago. I can't believe I was laughing in this simple, low budget film about how a JAV film works. hahaha As a person who watched a lot before.. hehe Kinda curious, how they really do it. Even it's fictional, it's close to realism especially on how they talk and work out. Ah, for those who are expecting some actions, sorry... None here. Only some skins but very limited. Geez. hehe
There are some flaws of course but I can say it's more of the budget. First of all, yes, it all happens in one place. Yes, no other locations, only the rented make up room. It will bore to some of the viewers especially for those who are not into dialogue driven films. Another thing, ah yes... Not single actor is known at the film. No clue who are they, but only one non porn star which was the make up artist. It said that all the actors were from the industry itself. It's not a bad thing, but it's just for other viewers might not like it. However these flaws it's simply due to the fact of the film has really low budget.
A great thing about this film, the plot of the film. Very simple yet the resources of the film were used perfectly. It's about a day of shooting then all the important roles came together and all the funny scenes happen in a very short time. Let's say it was a perfect fit for the film, despite the low budget and unknown actors. Another great factor, the screenplay was great! I mean, especially when you watched JAV, now you will understand how it works. Great example, the guerilla style of making JAV. I mean they only rent the place and need to do it fast with minimal editing. How about, the make up artist who was not only fixing the actors faces but also can be like PA and even a counselor. Geez, she has a difficult job. hahaha I love the scene where the actress did not sleep before the shoot, she lay down the main actress and continue to do make up while she was sleeping. hahaha I love how the shooting was made such as the crying, the gossips and how actresses think of working in JAV. And yes, how men actors not given importance in their jobs. hehe It's like you were given a close look how they shoot and rigid they are.
Lastly, despite their unknown status in the film.. They acted great for the film. The natural acting and they've shown that they cannot only do JAV but also great acting. I know they only do that stuff, but in this film, you will see a different side of them. As a normal person and what brought them into this industry. Two actors stands out in the film, of course, the make up artist and the comebacking JAV actress. There were laugh scenes, one example was the actress accidentally eating here facial mask instead of her rice cake. How about the scene where the new actress shooting her initial interview.. That was so funny!! Ah another interesting role, was that annoying director but it was fine, I know had a little idea, how a JAV director works. Not in that really funny way but in an interesting way.
But all of them did a good job. So, there, I definitely say one of the good films last year. I was surprised, it's low budget but still delivered a great performance and like this film. I just hope some famous JAV stars did this one. =)

Ah yes, it's showing in Netflix and good news, since in our country has now netflix.. So you can watch it there. Anyway.. If you asked me, how I end up being a fan of Nina Simone these days? Blame David Lynch. Just kidding.. Anyway, after that one song, and my fave song of hers, which is Sinnerman, I was surprised that she sang I mean from end of 50's till the 70's especially with the civil rights movement.
Anyway, this documentary became an instant classic to me and very good treat to not only to her fans but audiophile or music fans alike. There was only one thing I hope they improved on, I hope they focused a bit more, how she done it, or how she was able to create music even the only training she had was doing classical music. Like how she created Sinnerman or Pirate Jenny?
But other than that, it's a fantastic documentary. 3 things I loved in this documentary.. First was the flow of the documentary. I mean, from where she born until the end, no mix or jumping scene except for the first scene. I love the transition they made for her story. As they unravel each important events in her life, there was always an interesting fact about her. I was surprised that she became an activist and one of the reasons, she left US was not due tax evasion, but she just gave up in the US after all her civil rights friends died one by one. Most surprising of all, no singing training for her. I mean, she just sang because she needed to earn working in a crummy club as she said. Wow, sheer talent and genius.
Another factor I loved this documentary, was the audio recordings or archival interviews done straight from her. At the course of this docu, with her answers in the interviews, you'll understand her as more of a person. Not the artist or singer but how she lived, thinks and yes, view life. Although it was proven that she lived as Nina Simone 24/7, she still shown as a normal person and worse, a very broken, depressed person. I love the parts which shown her letters and some footages on how she performs. Despite her strict rules and uncontrollable rhythm, her prescence in the stage indeed a worth to see and most importantly, to hear.
Lastly, I loved the interviews done to the people around her. Although I hoped they interviewed more artists, especially those she inspired.. It was very sad yet inspiring. Give credit to Lisa, Nina's only daughter of telling most of the meat of this documentary, even some parts of it she admit, she had bad feelings towards Nina but she still felt proud and love her mom. How about the parts of her ex-husband, her former band mates and some friends who not only close to her but also helped her especially for her second coming. I was very sad at the part where Nina exiled in France with no money and only working for a couple of hundred bucks in a crappy bar.. She was almost done but great thing, she was saved and helped her to cope her mental/psychological illness. That part was also interesting and shocking to me. Great thing, she rised up and you can see at the last part of the film, she was like a goddess that despite she is not that great anymore due to her age, just her name and presence, will flock the venue. The only person I can think who can do that today, Morrissey.. Damn if you also look how she perform with the piano, a living legend. That's what happens if you play the piano since 4 yrs old. Damn..
Well, this year, it was a lot of great music documentaries. Count in Kurt Cobain, then this one and yes, the one I should watch is Amy. All of them, troubled, depressed, fame consumed them type of story.. But Nina stands out not only she was able to handle the demons inside her, but also.. As she says, she feels free when she see a piano in front of her.
That title above, a very fitting title.. Especially if you are a new fan of hers.
All of them answered empathically in this documentary. I'll listen more of her songs perhaps.
By the way, I love Sinnerman as the ending song, even it was cut short. =)
I just hope she did not change her real name, Eunice. Not bad right?
If not all Jdramas are good, how about asadora? Even taiga drama in NHK had some bad eggs. For example Hana Moyu, na kahit sobrang galing ng cast, its just boring at sobrang bagal.
Ilan episodes na lang!!! After watching the 148 plus ones, eh salamat natapos na kagabi at nakatulog pa ko. How I discovered this one? Noong tinignan ko yun list ng asadora due to my curiousity sa wiki. Siyempre 90 plus yun at malamang halos lahat di ko kilala, some nagulat ako may mga sikat ngayon or di masyado sikat na may asadora. The lowest rating ever, is this, Welkame. At mukhang wala pa nakakatalo. hahaha
Paano naman kasi.. Ang daming flaws or not good about this asadora. Factors that I can made the ratings low and I was surprised na asadora siya. I survived finishing the 150 episodes of it, great thing, 15 mins lang siya. hehe
First of all, anak ng tinapa.. Why the story was not really interesting? I mean, nagsimula siya na takot yun batang Nami sa "kame", turtle in japanese, tapos nainspire magsulat kasi nakita niya yun editor in chief then yun na start ng story. Pero may mga moments na dramatic or talagang malas si Nami, pero di siya kung baga, serious enough para icheer or yes.. Root for. Grabe, sumakit ulo, parang yun ibang parts ng story parang kulang sa drama, or even fun. Kahit RAW yun napanood ko, eh bakit yun Teppan, natuwa ako. hehehe Raw talaga yun almost all episodes.
Second, siyempre kung di masaya or interesting yun kwento, bland yun most of the episodes, kasi naman, wala naman nangyayari milestone sa buhay niya. May ibang important events pero di naman important, for example, yun friend ni Nami na nanganganak na.. Aba parang 2 weeks din yun ha. Umay. hehe Marami pa yun. Lalo na sa mga bandang gitna ng story. Grabe, kung pwede lang fast forward. hehe
Third, setting is nice pero yun setting ng ibang place, parang ang compact. Kung baga, yun bahay ni Nami, lagi napupuntahan ng family niya at yun resto na weird yun set up.. Parang naisip ko, bakit pa lumipat si Nami kung most of the episodes eh from office to their own house/inn eh nakakapunta siya. hehe Basta naisip ko, well kung malayo talaga di ba, pero sana may time na talagang alone si Nami like other asadoras, kaso bihira lang yun.
Fourth, yes, ang bagal ng pace. I mean, most of the episodes, I did not focus on it kasi kahit ma miss mo yun dialogue, eh parang wala naman namiss. hehehe Nag pick up lang siya, last 5 weeks of the asadora. Poor thing. I was also expecting na sobrang marami magbago pero wala in the end, simple lang yun ending. I think to blame for these poor factors, eh yun writer and director. Geez.. Di man lang naging interesting yun story or even dramatic.
Siyempre, not all fails sa asadora na ito, some things helped kaya natapos ko ito. Una sa lahat, eh yun cast kahit ganun yun story, ok yun cast. Maraming characters dito na ok lang. Other than Nami, yun fave ko supporting characters eh yun family niya, yun husband niya saka yun ex president ng magazine na pinagtrabaho niya. Dalawa pala sila. hehe Lalo na yun italian na nakacast dun, galing maghapon. hehe Nakakatawa yun isang week na nagsuot ng mascot si Nami para mapromote yun Hotshin, grabe, naging comedy yun week na yun. hehe Yun effort nandun, lalo na yun father ni Nami. Yun artistang yun, serious sa ibang jdrama, pero dito, laid back na tatay. Ayos siya. hehe
Second, ok yun vibe ng story. Kahit mabagal at boring, fun siya at some moments. Dahil nga wala masyadong serious events, fun yun mga ibang episodes at interesting din like yun setting nila sa beach saka yun ano ano pinaggagawa ng family ni Nami and yun hotshin magazine. Puro inom at kain lang ginagawa. hehe At siyempre work din. Saka kahit papano yun love team ni Nami and yun naging asawa niya, may fun moments, lalo na yun first time nagkita sila after maghiwalay sila nung bata pa. Oh, Third reason I like this one, yun intro song niya, one of the best. Hirap nga hanapin sa net. Bad trip. hahaha Cool and light lang yun kanta, kakaadik.
Lastly, ang primary reason kung bakit ako nagtagal dito.. Kurashina Kana!!!!! I have no idea about her, pero nung nakita ko yun ibang jdrama na kasama siya.. I was curious, pag tinitigan mo matagal, maganda siya. Well, checked on google, ayun na. hahahaha Naadik na, kaya kahit panget yun jdrama, I need to check her out. Miss Swimsuit 2006 right? Hmmmmmm hehe. At lalo ako nagpursige panoorin at pagtyagaan eh may gravure vids pala siya bago mag Welkame, after those 2 videos.. I don't care watching the crappy show basta makita siya. hehe Bad trip sa asadora na ito, balot siya and her hairstyles for 148 episodes were not nice. Pinapanget siya kung baga. Bad trip talaga. Tiyaga na lang!!! hehe Not even one episode na pinakita yun curves niya. Naman. hehe
Well, ok naman siya actress and sa welkame, siya naman nagdala although blame the production crew, sulit to as jdrama or comedy jdrama siguro pero as asadora, sayang lang talent niya. Pero pag ngiti niya or any reaction in her face.. Sulit na sulit. hahaha I can't believe na NHK made some gravure models or great looking actresses na mag asadora. It's a risk pero most of them did not do well, like Eikura Nana's Hitomi or Natsuna's Jun to Ai na mukhang ok naman. Unfortunately, the lowest rating, goes to Kurashina Kana. Malas naman niya. Darn..
Anyway, hmmmm worth watching again? I'll just save it na lang for Kana. hehe Yun pre show episode na lang panoorin ko ulit. hahahaha
Welkame! Not a typo error.
(Grace Poe is our President)
Siguro laking panghihinayang niya nung madisqualify sana siya from the elections. But her luck is not running out! hehe Siyempre I'm not voting her. Definitely not! Over my dead body. hahaha I don't know, the only thing I liked about her was the feeling she got na sumakay sa MRT na rush hour. Yun lang. Pero yun iba niya ginagawa, di pa ko bilib saka grabe, riding the wave of her popularity with the help in showbiz pa.
Naisip ko pag siya na yun nagkatayo sa podium, di ko pa din maiisp na siya presidente na tin. Alam ko magagawa niya magaling, PR and delivering speeches. Pero yun mga gagawin daw niya, malamang di niya magagawa at higit sa lahat, she'll do worse than Pnoy. I'm not saying it's because she is a woman but yun mga dumidikit sa kanya mga pulitiko, parang marami siyang bibigyan pabor pag nanalo. hahaha Mas marami pa kaysa kay Erap o yun ibang naging presidente. New look and younger trapo kung baga..
Kahit maganda yun platforms niya, di ko alam kung magagawa niya with her weak will. She has strong presence and good personality pero sa dami at di matapos na problema, eh di siya kailangan natin. Siguro si Chiz, maniniwala ako at may prinsipyo, baka nga panay tanong niya siguro kay Chiz pag nanalo. hahaha Di ko alam, basta tama sabi nila, hilaw pa siya.. Di pa niya kaya yun stress na haharapin niya. Sa pagiging senador nga lang, paganda lang ang alam. Naman.. Well may magagawa siya sa pagiging presidente, more international PR and maayos na image lang siguro. Pero sa tingin ko, malabo tayo uusad niyan. Geez.. Pustahan tayo, mauungkat pa yun nangyari sa tatay niya. Ganyan naman lagi. Yun ang pinaka ayaw ko, may presidente na naman tayo na dahil may malakas na political allies eh nakakalibre na naman sa pagiging presidente.
Ano ba, pangatlong presidente na naman na kung hindi anak ng presidente, eh yun anak na best friend na dating presidente na natalo. Nakasimpatiya at hanggang ngayon, grabe mga tao, di pa din natuto. Kahit sabihin ba anak siya ni ganito o napakalapit siya kay ganito, di naman sigurado na siya din ang bunga..
Grabe, kahit ako, may mga qualities na parang erpat ko pero mas maraming pa din qualities na natutunan ko o nakuha ko lang sa ibang tao. Hay, kung siya presidente, kahit babaan niya ang income tax whatever..
Di pa din ako maniniwala sa kanya. Wag na tayo maniwala masyado sa kung ano ang itinanim, siya din ang bunga.
Sa halaman lang nangyayari yun.
