Philippine Bliss, the trailer

This is not a film by KHAVN.

Synopsis:
“Philippine Bliss” tells the tale of six modern-day Filipinos living in a single neighborhood, a housing project called B.L.I.S.S., started by the former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos during the Martial Law era. These people, whose names allude to familiar characters from Jose Rizal’s novels, narrate their private yet vivid stories of loss, longing, and Third World despair, all intersecting in a public arena that is their packed community. Theirs are lives seen with an oftentimes comic eye, unabashedly bound by a wild and brimming sense of Filipino hope.

Philippine Bliss : Khavn gets Banned again!

Rakstar Roxlee!

wasak! The bosses have been using this term for quite some time now.. I didn't get it..

Not until I went to BMPs Every Juan is Invited (and every tagpi too!) : Roxlee Gets Banned event last June 15!



WASAK!


The ultimate video : The Brockas



Kints and BB! Happy and High! - Kuha ni John Torres (Oiliness si BB- Bwa ha ha!)

One of the "bands," Jeffplane


Delakrus permutations, as Delakrus


and as The Brockas (--color coding Kailangan change costume.)

Angelo Suarez is opening up a new wasak world for BB and me. (BTW, also in pix Costantino Zicarelli, tape me I'm yours .. ha ha)



The ultimate permutation...Mabuhay si Akira!


John Torres, always Wasak! always Bienned! -- sabi ng sister ni BB, kailangan ko nang magpa dry clean, nanlilimahid na ako. :(




Don't u ever miss another Banned event! Para alam nyo rin ang true meaning ng wasak!

A friend just told BB..

It doesn't mean you have a blog alter ego you should live your life x2. I can't keep up with you.. and Bien.

:P

Jealous! Jealous! Jealous!

Let it be known that BB is jealous! jealous! jealous! of her Indonesian pal due to a sooopppppeeerrr duper favorite Taiwanese guy named, R****.

R***** is the guy who supplies BB her media review samples of motherboards and other components (so PH IT editors and writers read on, you have a stake on this too.. he he) such a sweet guy, from month 1 at ASUS when BB had her training in Taiwan, he immediately was a standout because he looks like her uncle who was a military guy during his heydays (R**** is the heyday version,) tall, lean, buff. AND HE SPEAKS good English, rare in HQ and it really helps to start friendships.

BB by the way is the leading R**** endorser to all her marketing colleagues, ASUS has about 100k employees and most of the time we know each other only thru email addresses and face to face acquaintance is not usual. I introduced R**** to my SEA peers, THAI, INDO, SING, MAL so we are all R**** fans right now.

He went to BB last Friday asking if i will be in TW till sunday, he was planning to treat us for dinner (BB and Juliana) because its always only at work do we see each other, always in coats and blazers. BB's flight is in the morning, she had to say no immediately, Saturday is also tight for both since the Computex ends that day.

So Juliana and Roy had dinner at an italian resto with him, plus after a long raining spell in TW, the heavens opened up for clear skies, they also went to the 101 viewing tower.

Jealous, jealous, jealous!

I want to pull indonesian hair. (Bien talking here.. let me remind reader.) waaaaahhhh.

Don't worry, BB and Juliana are really great pals, they are actually chatting right now regarding the "date". You should see how they shrill like girls, audio and chat versions of it. BTW, our favorite guy is rumored to be gay. (Bien talking again, but both BB and Juliana know.) Bwahahahaharf arf arf.

Now this is my favorite picture

Smell blog

I wish you could blog smells. Because I smell sooooo good! BB told me so.

BB was playing around the duty free doing a scenthaton.. he he.. she's was planning to buy perfume for her mom (and syempre for her not to be guilty to buy for herself too!) and tried on some on these little papers you'd spray on the perfume (actually BB has a hard time checking out perfumes because she immediately gets smell numb or would have allergic reactions to strong smells.)

Anyway, she tried:

Burberry weekend for women
Escada the orange one (usually she is an escada fanatic, but this one is too sweet)
Burberry the red bottle (too baby powdery.. why not buy baby powder instead?)
Nina Ricci (tried this because of the name -- but not BB's taste i think she tossed this paper away)
and another she forgot

and since she found no trash can after, she accidentally slipped the 4 papers to the pouch i was in, after the long haul, i emerged as an Escada-Burberry and something else combination.

I smell like a lady though. but I SMELL SO GOOD!

BTW, Burberry weekend won!

:)

Taiwan tales

AT sino si Diana?

actually just some random bb thoughts.. just tired, woke up early due to an earthquake (which is more often than what we get in PH) and then started packing..

I don't bother to take my ipod from my ears in public places. I would not understand my world anyway!

Taiwan doesn't bother me anymore, not understanding doesn't bother me anymore.

My colleague asked me why didn't i add more days to my trip.. oh you are bored with TW, he added when i just smiled at him.

Computex was kind of boring for me already.. i didn't drool at anything.. not even the men of computex.. he he

but I get to see my favorite guy Randy (still, still my favorite!)
I got pix with Bien with Taipei 101
I get to eat my mos burger
Nag dance with death na ako with bird flu
Computex
Free food
Heavenly pala ang cheesecake dito
Being picked up and sent home via limousine service (with karatula to boot.)
my additional must haves for taiwan trips -- hot pot and cheesecake
Plus i get to be in costumes without being overdressed.
Went to the eslite building (bookstore ito, as in BOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKSSSSSSS) interesting mix of books, drooling at the art books, and the asian cinema.. how i wish i researched.. quiapo pa rin! I just bought another Dr. Seuss Book with Chinese translation. cool!

Hermes! Hermes here i come!

-- BB

It's a pact

Nagmamatapang si BB, gagawa ng isang pact para sa aming tatlo. Nag-iimpake kami hindi dapat isasama si BearLyn, taong bahay sana (osong bahay pala) pero napag-isip-isip. Isasama ko si BearLyn sa aking hometown (Taipei, Taiwan) para next time isasama din niya ako sa kanya (Berlin, Germany.) Itaga mo sa aming mga balahibo.

Brave si BB. :O

Weekend shoot

The experience was cool. BB has attended shoots before, in her advertising days as Account Manager and with her old friend directing MTVs and AVPs, but this one tops her books in terms of coolness. I don't want to pre-empt. so here's just some snap shots.

Usually the scriptwriter does the bardic stance. But wait, it's direk who's doing the musical numbers.

Bien doing a make-over. He he. Production on-going. Bien watching.
