I got this schedule off the Official Multiply site of the University of the Philippines Film Institute on Multiply. I was also given the Press Kit for Cinemalaya 2010 when I went to ask for VLF6 materials, but I could not post them on the Teatro Pilipinas website. I know this is late since Cinemalaya already finished screening in CCP, but well, at least it is in time for the screenings in UP. I hope anyone interested in seeing a Cinemalaya film will find this post useful. I have stills from the films but I think it would be make this post too long if I included them here so I am making separate posts for each film. Please just follow the links.

JULY 20 / TUESDAY
5pm – THE LEAVING (Ian Dean S. Loreños)
730pm – MAGKAKAPATID (Kim Homer Garcia)

JULY 21 / WEDNESDAY

I don’t think I’ve ever been a party person and I would never describe myself as an extrovert, but I think, for Lia, I will go to parties, kiddie parties that is, because she loves people and she finds parties fun.

The Mayfield Park Residences clubhouse where Kria was having her first birthday party was jam packed when we got there. For someone who only goes to family kiddie parties, I’ve never seen so many kids and adults of all ages at a party. It was just Lia and I and we didn’t see anyone we knew when we got there so the first thing we did was look for Abet, Hash and Euan.

Euan, whom we fondly call “anti-social”, was already enjoying himself, playing with his mom at the playground by the pool.

I took Lia, who was exhausted and fell asleep the minute we got into the cab, home from Astoria to nebulize her and put her in her crib – then off we went to Leia’s send-off party at Bahay ni Juan in Kapitolyo, Pasig Friday evening, July 16th.

My mother, looking good despite the chemotherapy sessions for the past eight months, celebrated her 61st birthday last night with her husband and all four of her children and her children’s children.

My brother bought this cake but we didn't have anything to light the candle with so my mom is just pretending to blow the candle..
