Running to Myself
"You musn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky."
-Holly Golightly
"You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.' You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."
- Paul Varjak

A Guide To The 13th French Film Festival
by Philbert Ortiz Dy
FEATURED FILMMAKER: EMMANUEL MOURET
Un baiser s’il vous plait (Shall We Kiss, or A Kiss, Please)
Written and directed by Emmanuel Mouret
Synopsis: A story about how a seemingly simple and harmless kiss can have unforeseen consequences.
Changement d’adresse (Change of Address)
Written and directed by Emmanuel Mouret
Synopsis: A shy, awkward musician moves to Paris for the first time. He falls in love with his young student, all the while finding a encouragement from his passionate roommate, Anne.
Why you should see them: Emmanuel Mouret is becoming a real star in French cinema. He’s been described as the new, French Woody Allen. Like Allen, he writes, directs and stars in his own films, which are often about a funny, socially awkward person trying to deal with the little quirks of love and relationships. His films have a pretty simple aesthetic, concentrating on the strength of dialogue and story rather than artistic gimmickry. Un baiser s’il vous plait is interesting for a rather well done story-within-a-story conceit. Changement d’adresse is sharp and terribly funny, and Francophiles will really appreciate some clever tricks of language.
Screenings: (Un baiser s’il vous plait) June 11, 7:30 P.M.
Screenings: (Changement d’adresse) June 12, 12 NN. June 13, 8 P.M. June 15, 8 P.M June 16, 5:30 P.M. June 17, 3 P.M. June 18, 5:30 P.M. June 20, 12:30 P.M.
THE FILIPINO CONTINGENT
Serbis
Directed by Brillante Mendoza, Written by Armando Lao and Boots Agbayani Pastor
Synopsis: The Pineda family operates and resides in a run down theater in the province that shows sexy double features. We follow the family as they deal with each other’s sins and vices.
Now Showing
Written and directed by Raya Martin
Synopsis: A young girl completely immersed in popular entertainment tends to her aunt’s pirated DVD stand, all the while dealing with a mother hungry for her affection, a sexually frustrated boyfriend, and a missing father who she can barely remember.
Why you should see them: There really doesn’t need to be much reason other than these two are Filipino films, and we should support our local filmmakers. But there’s more to it than that, of course. Serbis was in competition at Cannes, and got praise from this year’s jury chairman, Sean Penn. It’s a pretty brave film, one that doesn’t make any compromises. A wider theatrical release is impending, but this might be the best chance to see it as a whole. Now Showing was featured in the Director’s Fortnight, where the likes of Werner Herzog, Martin Scorsese, and Jim Jarmusch were introduced to the world. At 4 hours and 40 minutes, it will certainly test the patience of many moviegoers, but Raya Martin has incredible vision, and his films always end up affecting audiences.
Screenings: (Serbis) June 12, 4:30 P.M.
Screenings: (Now Showing) June 12, 7 P.M.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
La Môme (La Vie En Rose)
Directed by Olivier Dahan, written by Olivier Dahan and Isabelle Sobelman
Synopsis: The triumphs and tragedies of the “Little Sparrow,” singer Edith Piaf.
Why you should see it: Marion Cotillard. It doesn’t really get much simpler than that. This was one of the best performances of last year, and Cotillard got an academy award for it. Personally, I don’t think the film is as good as may people say it is, but Cotillard’s performance alone makes up for any of the film’s weaknesses. As Piaf, she is endlessly compelling, a picture of living tragedy and a bottomless well of heartbreaking grief. It’s terribly moving stuff.
Screenings: June 22, 8 P.M.
MOST MUSICAL
Chansons d’amour (Love Songs)
Written and directed by Christophe Honoré
Synopsis: Ismael is in a three-way relationship with Alice and Julie. There are many complications in their relationship, but they seem to be getting by. But when tragedy strikes, Ismael is left to explore his own passions.
Why you should see it: Chansons d’amour is going to be an easy crowd pleaser in this year’s festival. A cast of gorgeous young people sings songs in a pop style, exploring the complexities of love and relationships in a very modern world. Louis Garrel is a name that girls will probably remember after watching this film. Honoré also happens to be a pretty good filmmaker with a knack for pretty striking images. The Jacques Demy influence is pretty obvious, and much appreciated.
Screenings: June 20, 5:50 P.M. June 21 5:30 P.M. June 22, 12:30 P.M.
UNDERAPPRECIATED GEM
Clean
Written and directed by Olivier Assayas
Synopsis: Emily is married to Lee Hauser, a rock star. Together, they lead a decadent life filled with drugs. When Lee suddenly dies, Emily is sent to jail. She has to get her life back together and reconnect with her son, all the while dealing with her demons.
Why you should see it: Clean hasn’t been seen by a lot of people, but it’s a pretty good film. First of all, it stars Maggie Cheung, in a fantastically brave trilingual performance. Cheung is probably already one of the greatest actresses to have come out of Asia, and this movie only serves to reinforce that idea. The story isn’t anything we haven’t seen before, but Assayas has enough talent to keep you interested anyway.
Screenings: June 13, 12:30 P.M. June 14, 3 P.M. June 15, 5:30 P.M. June 17, 12:30 P.M. June 22, 5:30 P.M.

Post "Falling / Diving down the Stairs" Story
[nagkkwentuhan, nagtatawanan tungkol sa pagkahulog ko sa hagdan ng UST Hospital]
Mom: Anak, mag-ingat ka kasi. Dapat pagbumababa ka sa stairs, kumakapit ka...
Euns: [sa isip] Wow, concerned.
Mom: Alam mo naman madalas ka talaga madadapa, kasi malaki ka.
Euns: [sa isip] Salamat Mommy ha.
Mom: [to Dad] Parang si Humpty Dumpty who had a great fall.
Euns: [sa isip] Di na lang talaga Jack and Jill, nag-fall din naman un. Itlog pa talaga ang kinumpara sa akin.
--------------------
Sa Hospital habang naghihintay kay Lolo
Tito: [to Tita na nakahiga at nagpapahinga sa kama] Ayos a, parang Cleopatra pa pagkakahiga mo...
Euns: [sa isip] Ang sweet naman.
Tito: May Cleopatra bang balyena?
Euns: [magkakamag-anak talaga kami]

When...
... you feel like you are at your lowest, God's power and love will see you through.
The short-term suffering that you must endure is just a prelude to the long-term happiness that you will be rewarded with if only you'll stick around, hang on and continue to have faith. Never ever let go, never ever doubt, He will never let you down. The situations that we get into over which we have no control are opportunities for us to experience God in our lives. It's when He will take the wheel and speed through the race track that is life and bring us to the finish line.
It's not a theory, it's a fact. I can never be grateful enough.
To everyone who prayed and expressed their support, "Thank you. You are God's little angels in my life... God has anwered not only my prayers but yours as well."

Nate, My Immortal Beloved
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I nedd a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a clam consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine

Happy birthday sweetie. I know you'll LOOOVE this... To a lot of people, you're Nate now but to me... you're MY ATOY! =P
Yuck.
My mom and my dad have decided that my marrying age should be 28. They confronted me about it while we were eating our "Palitaw" merienda. There was awkwardness, yes. There was disbelief on my part. Tawang-tawa talaga ako e. Ni wala pa akong kaplano-plano talaga. Ang labo. Di ko nga naiisip e, sila pa nag-isip. LABO men.

Nagbabasa nanaman ako ng Peyups.com kagabi at may thread na, "Of Pseudorelationships and Disappearing Acts" Natawa nanaman ako. Parang swak na swak! At ang nasabi ko na lang ay,
"Siguro after sometime, you realize that if someone decides to disappear, they're not worth the sorrow. Kaya gusto ko un line na, "We don't have tomorrow but we HAD yesterday." Panalo e. Kung ayaw, masakit pero dapat mag-move on. Ganun e.
Un namang pseudo-relationships at almost love stories... ganun din. Just be thankful for what once existed and don't feel bad for "what-might've-been." At, i learned not to doubt what i had with someone, kahit it didn't turn out to be perfect. The worst thing to do is to doubt those moments where you felt happy and contented with someone whom you once loved and made you feel loved."

Of Lies and Delusions
“Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.”
- Samantha Jones
I hate it when people lie, especially when they have the nerve to look directly into my eyes, smile and flawlessly deliver the dishonest monologue. It’s just that sooner or later, I do find out the truth and nothing is ever the same anymore. Practically everything that will be said by the “one time liar” is doubted and it burdens me. I am a very trusting person, when I get disillusioned, I suffer.
Quoting Eunice [PART TWO]
“Lagi ka kayang "the in-between-girl". The girl after a past relationship, before a future relationship, but never in the present relationship. Tangina.”
-“I’m Creeping Me Out” 9/19/2005 02:24:00 AM
- 9/20/2005 11:51:00 PM
"Ever felt like you wanna just walk real slow to find out if someone'll look back to ask why you're a step behind? I did. Ever felt like you wanna just sit back, not talk and observe.. hoping that even for a second, someone'll notice that you're not saying anything? I did. Ever turned the volume of your MP3 player to its maximum to drown out all the voices that are in your head because in the end, there's really one voice you'd rather hear? I did."
9/20/2005 11:51:00 PM
"I envy people who are loving despite and inspite of. Looking back, I was so sure I'll be the perfect girlfriend, i'll be the perfect lover, the perfect friend. There are millions of people in the world who are braving the challenges of LOVE, but how can I show the world that I can survive it too when there's just no one to love?"
-“Sappy - mushy - kuchie kuchie koo”5/25/2005 01:04:00 AM
"After a few hours, I will be smiling again. It’s just that lately, my smiles are painful. They’re empty smiles from a barren being.
- Barren 9/12/2005 03:52:00 AM
"I remember having this conversation with a friend about oblivioviousness and happiness. He asked me, "Is a person who can travel really better off than a person who doesnt get to travel but who doesnt really want to travel?" I asked him, "Why is he oblivious? I guess it's just his defense mechanism because he cant travel." But what if he honestly doesnt want to travel? Is a traveller really better off? Well, i guess not. The same goes for love, for companionship... Is someone who is in a relationship with commitment better off than someone who doesnt really wanna be committed? But what if this person who firmly believes that she doesnt wanna be committed only made such decision because she doesnt have a grasp of the happiness that she can actually experience when she finally decides to commit to a relationship? Is she still better off?"
