hmmm...

2 t.t.'s

The dinner went great. MD made salad. I brought roast chicken and cooked pasta a la PJP -- whom we are trying to get for a pivotal role. ED was wonderful enough to let us have the small get-together in her house. Good friend AR dropped by with a bottle of wine, Christmas gifts and a good deal of Christmas cheer! It was fun. It's not the first time I'm seeing MD in person but this is the first time we've really talked personally. I've always found her to be beautiful and very sensual and sexy without even trying. We are all excited to be working soon. As for the other memebers of the main cast, TT has read the outline and her response is very positive. In her own words: "naiyak at natuwa ako." I guess that's great. I never intend this film to be a tearjerker but if the material can't help it, I guess I don't have to fight it. I'll just let it flow. TT is perfect for the role of the mom.

OH!

I just realized, I'll be having two TT's in the cast! Well, two TT's are better than one! TT2 has earlier confirmed for another role. So far, isa na lang ang iniitay kong confirmation sa main cast. We are crossing our fingers we get PJP. Pero siguro next year na ako mangungulit, I don't want to be a partypooper during the last remaining hours of the holidays. I know how busy these people are all year round.

That's all for now!

frozen brazo

Will be having dinner with two of my lead actresses tomorrow night. Will reveal final cast list soon on this blog kapag kumpleto na. So far so good. There are 3 lead roles for actresses -- 2 are confeeermed. 2 lead roles for the males -- so far 1 has confirmed. This is what I am bringing for dessert tom: yummy frozen brazo de mecedes from the camaras' kitchen at dasma. Sarap neto! Sana 'wag matunaw when i pick it up tomorrow. Hina pa naman ng aircon ng kotse ko. Di ko pa kasi napapa service. Haaaay.

my first film, my first blog

So finally I'm here blogging. I am doing this so nothing goes undocumented as I start doing my first film, 100. Wala pa namang dapat i-document aside from the letters of acceptance and congratulations I got from the cinemalaya committee. So I am posting them here. Ganito pala ang blog. Parang scrapbook. Hindi pa naman ako mahilig sa scrapbook.
