And for this to come right at the tail end of a very dark time in my life, it was a good reminder to keep going and keep fighting.
And I'm very humbled to have been given the opportunity to be a part of this journey.

To be surrounded with classmates and to be guided by facilitators na sumasabog sa creativity and passion is to feel that pursuing a creative path is worth the chance, to feel that falling in love with what you do is worth the risk, and to feel that life is worth living.

To perform scenes and songs from my all-time favorite stage musical, the same show that made me decide na magpe-PETA workshops ako in the first place, the show that changed my life (as a theatergoer and as a person).

Two weeks after PARANG ARAY.
Masyadong mabilis at maikli ang twelve sessions + two weekday rehearsals, but this was one of the most energizing experiences of my life.

One week after doing RASHOMON onstage (playing the role of Tajomaru).
This production represents 6-7 weeks of collective hard work, courage, and dedication in exploring this challenging material.

30 DAY FILM CHALLENGE
DAY 30: The last film you saw in the cinema
PRESENCE (2025)
I'm currently in my poverty era so I don't get to watch films in the cinemas now, but I'm glad my last one was this. A refreshing supernatural drama with effective horror tangents. Quietly moving and haunting.

DAY 29: Your favorite foreign language film
PARASITE (2019)
Basically, this was the film that made me start my own podcast about world cinema. Perfect timing for a near-perfect film. Bong Joon-ho crafts a magnetic piece of political cinema within genre whiplashes. Amazing.

DAY 28: The most visually beautiful film you've ever seen
THE TREE OF LIFE (2011)
I don't think the 11-year-old version of me was ready to witness the transcendental beauty of this spiritual odyssey, but I did. Now I am just longing for the day that I get to see this again.

DAY 27: Your favorite film from the past year
I'M STILL HERE (2024)
Nothing compared to the gut punch of this film, a piece of political cinema that is urgent, assertive, and sharp-edged. With Fernanda Torres' captivating performance, this film stands as my favorite of 2024.

DAY 26: A film you wish you saw in the cinema
NOMADLAND (2020)
PH cinemas only opened late 2021 and I didn't return until early 2023. I could only imagine seeing this inside a cold cinema in the peak of an isolating, depressing pandemic. Would've even been more shattering.

DAY 25: A film that makes you laugh
BOOBA (2001)
So stupid, it's actually intelligent. Politically incorrect in so many ways, and yet, it's this irreverence that makes this hilarious to this day. How was this able to sustain its humor with three sets of mammaries?

DAY 24: A film by your favourite director
KISAPMATA (1981)
Mike de Leon's lacerating precision has always appealed to me and it's evident in his films across various genres, but I do think his prowess is in full display with this grim family crime drama. Watch it ASAP.

DAY 23: Your favorite romantic comedy
SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993)
I don't think this is my favorite genre (take a guess why), but there's something about this film that's incredibly comforting. Longing for someone you haven't met yet? Melancholic Christmas chill? Heck yeah.
