It’s 2008, for real!

My Fake American Accent was the first thing I thought of as 2007 morphed into 2008. Getting to film this screenplay was the major idea I had since August last year, and it’s amazing when an idea nags at you way into the new year. It’s especially surreal getting the nod of the Cinemalaya to film it for this year’s festival after going through the “realitytv-ish” process. Well, I make it part of my resolution to blog more this year, hopefully it won’t be sideswiped by the filming.  And well if it does, I’ve attached a link to Ned’s blog dedicated to the movie. But I’ll bet I’ll be more talk-blog-ative than that link so there, you’ll get more for the price of one if you click on this blog. I had a blast in 2007, in part due to stalking my faves Quentin Tarantino (QT, many of the Pinoys opt to refer to him. And we did notice he wore our, or rather his, barong tagalog very appropriately in December while announcing the Golden Globe nominees for this year!) and Neil Gaiman. And I expect to have a blastier 2008, as I learn more, as I showcase more of the Filipino experience, as I tread my road to self expression and realization, taking pictures (oh, I’ll display my oil painting here soon), and talking pictures. You can count on it.
