I thought it would be nice to repost this article Gibbs Cadiz wrote for the Philippine Daily Inquirer in August 2007. I have been thinking about this article a lot for the following reasons:
1. Now once again, I am as involved in the Lab Fest as I was in 2007. During VLF3, I saw all the sets and was very much involved in almost all of the aspects of it. Something I did not get to do for VLF4 as I missed a few sets, declined directing a play, then a staged reading and finally resigned as actor due to personal reasons; and something I did not get to do at all for VLF5, as I only caught JUST one set.
2. I see the same old familiar faces and names, and the new faces are those of the people I have worked with before – in Tanghalang Ateneo and Dulaang U.P.. or if not have worked with, went to school with, made friends because of friends of friends of friends. The theater world is really small.
This year I am missing Rogelio Braga. Really, I am. I’ve always loved how More

I am contemplating as to whether I will watch this movie or not. It is coming out next month. If it were just another horror film, I would automatically, without batting an eyelash, firmly say NO. I don’t watch horror films, plain and simple.
This horror film is different though. First and foremost, it is my dear friend Nick Olanka‘s first mainstream film (hoorah! hoorah! hoorah! yippeeee! yippeee!!! rain dance! sun dance! sun dance festival! hahaha), after his successful short film Lunes ng Hapis, his Cinemalaya film Huling Araw ng Linggo, and his running-total-of 4 directed Maalala Mo Kaya episodes. (Nicki, ipopromote ba kita nang bongga? Like isulat ko pa ba lahat ng directorial activities mo, More

I’ve been watching these videos ever since I saw them on my Facebook news feed, posted by Nick in his attempt to distract people from the fact that Boy Abunda plugged him on SNN. Hahaha. Also, this song always makes me think of my friend Lizzie.
Lizzie, Tin and Angku at Angku's bridal shower, October 2006
She sang it on videoke on that night we had a get-together in Discovery Suites.

Saturday is supposed to be my family day. That is the reason why I did not go to CCP for the labfest; the second reason being that on weekends I can expect that there are more audiences and I did not want to take one more seat since I don’t pay. I say “supposedly” because actually, I worked til the wee hours of the morning for my other project and went to sleep at seven in the morning. I woke up at ten, in time to get ready for Lia’s check-up at the pediatrician. I scheduled a check-up because Lia has had colds for the past three weeks and she now has coughs at night. I have been giving her Cetirizine but I didn’t think it was doing the job. I also slept in the afternoon after we came home, and worked all night last night. (So much for the supposed “family day” hahaha).
So we went to Marikina where her pediatrician’s clinic is located. Lia’s doctor said she has bronchitis and More
