Weeks ago, I read Tita Noemi’s post about the latest promo of SEAIR where they are not giving away not just one or two tickets to Busuanga Palawan but SIX! Wow!
I’ve read some of the entries and just like them, I would love to visit a very beautiful place like Busuanga and Coron. I mean who wouldn’t want to? My father once worked in Palawan for a few months and he was lucky enough to explore the beauty of Palawan.
I have a bigger reason on why I want to win in the Free Tickets to Busuanga, Palawan via SEAIR.
Just last week, my blogger friend Bleue of Lakwatsero.com went to Coron, Palawan for a much deserved break from work. In his three-day stay in Palawan, he was able to visit some of the province’s tourist spots like the wonderful beaches, churches and other historical places.
On the last day of his trip, he was able to go to Culion, Palawan by boat. The island was formerly known as the “leper’s colony”. Now, the municipality has improved and is is a certified leprosy-free place.
Last month, he informed me about his plan of going to Palawan. I was excited when he told me that he’s planning to go to Coron. He’s wondering why I have that kind of expression then I later told him about a thing in the past.
The screening for the Ten Cinemalaya 2008 Full-Length Films will be on July 11-20. The theme for this year is "Anong Kwento mo?"
I am now sharing to you five of the ten entries including the trailer and synopsis:
100
Directed by Chris Martinez
Starring : Mylene Dizon, Tessie Tomas, Eugene Domingo, TJ Trinidad and Ryan Eigenmann
According to filmmaker Chris Martinez, his official entry to Cinemalaya is a "celebration of the senses and what life has to offer." His goal was to do a film about death in a young fresh way. By doing so he believes he celebrates life. 100 chronicles the last three months of a cancer-stricken woman (played by Mylene Dizon) who has a list of things to do before she dies. Her list of tasks, mostly dealing with closure and practical matters, covers the worldly and spiritual worlds as people close to her share her last days. The film examines the betrayal of the body, celebrates the senses and contemplates the end of life and how to live it. A light-hearted, briskly paced, youthful take on a classic subject, 100 stars today’s most exciting performers such as Mylene Dizon, Eugene Domingo, Tessie Tomas, TJ Trinidad, Ryan Eigenmann, Simon Ibarra, and others. Under the creative supervision of Marlon Rivera, 100 is written and directed by Chris Martinez.
MY FAKE AMERICAN ACCENT
Written and Directed by Onnah Rivera
Writer-director of this Cinemalaya entry Onnah Valera said, "I wanted to capture ang buhay na walang tulugan."
Set in one of the high rises of the Makati, My Fake American Accent is a look into the lives of call center personnel. It’s a slice-of-life workplace comedy following the lives of several Technical Support call center agents in the span of six months. They handle calls and provide inbound tech support for the American customers of an Internet company in the United States. Speaking with a fake American accent is a prerequisite for the job. This ensemble comedy is an inside look into the maddening, sleep-deprived, caffeine-fuelled lives of those who ply their trade in the call center industry.
