New Tech

Like I said, one day, photo cameras will be able to shoot feature films. From the looks of this trailer, if what it said is true, it store more than an hour of footage! The film is 78 minutes!



How cool is that?

Meeting the Man(n)

Previously, on Film Junkie Rockstar...

On with THIS BLOG -

I never thought it would be possible.



Mann: You're a smart guy?
Me: (stunned) I like to think so.
Mann: Yeah, I can see you're a smart guy.
Me: (nervous smile)
A short while...
Me: I know this is not appropriate. Can I take a picture with you?

25th Jan 2010, 1450 hours - My life changed.

Father

Nothing like a helpless single father story.

The Sun

It rained on me again as I was cycling back. I thought the only way to brave through the cold is by being angry at it. I challenged it to make me colder.

I said aloud, "Enough."

When I got back home, the sun came up.

Note to self: God has a wicked humor.

The Cold

Okay, I encourage doing these just to experience what is it like here. If not, do imagine this:

1 - Lock your restroom door with you inside.
2 - Put your key into your pocket.
3 - Set your air conditioning in your restroom to 8 degrees.
4 - Wear a Tee, jeans and thick jacket (100% cotton for warmth).
5 - Run cold water.
6 - Put a bicycle into your bath tub.
7 - Cycle under the shower head for an hour.

By then, try taking your keys out of your pocket, unlock the door and step into the warm room.

Tell me how you feel.

How did I do it?

By accepting that you will be wet and may die.

Pinoy's Johnnie

I have one issue with this:



I didn't make it.

Holiday for Phones

This is freaky.

I went on a weekend trip to San Diego from Orange with Youjin and Pearlyn Ong.

Early in the morning, Youjin asked if he can use my phone, to which I said sure. After using it, he placed it back into my pocket. I was aware of that.

After the two hour train ride cross state, I checked to see if I got everything. My phone was gone. Everyone checked their pockets and bags. It wasn't anywhere with us.

I was chill about it. There is nobody in US I wanna call anyway.

So we went to the San Diego Zoo and dined at the Fish Market.

We checked into Balboa Bed & Breakfast Inn. Really nice place. So everybody chose their corners of a coffee table to put their belongings out of their pockets and slept.

The very nice morning, my phone, my Motorola Tracfone appeared, in the middle of the coffee table.

Nobody knew where it came from.

I interrogated the guys if they took it and they said no.

It was like as if my phone went on a holiday by itself and came back.

Hmm...



(btw, San Diego rocks!)

Army of Two: 40th Day

As a video game, it was so-so. On the story part, this would rock.

I always love over the top buddy action adventures. I pray that I would get to be so good in my job that people will want to invest big money into me and I can make big budget movies like this kind of scale:



And this is part one:

Red Riding

I always wanted to do this: Singapore Stories about Crime. I always wanted to do this with other directors who are into the genre.

But it seems that someone else got there before me...

Pre LA 2

[Previously, on Film Junkie Rockstar...]

On with THIS BLOG -

Watched 25th Hour today, just 24 hours more to my flight. Dreading the trip more after this fine film.

Before I go, I should say my byes as who I am right now to the relevant people. These are the selected people I can think of right now.

Adelene: You're chattier than I thought, and not as blunt.

Kaydash: Thank you man, without you we got no host.

Vanessa: Your sainthood superpower is starting to overwhelm me! May God forever bless your gift. I'll never forget that Darth Vader is referred to All Black.

Charlene: Cape No.7 project was fun. I don't mind going through it again. Make sure you get an internship with the Taiwanese.

Chris: You have work to do. Hold the Batch:ten front.

June: You're really not that bad. Don't let others get to you.

Pearlyn: Without you, I would lose my dark crime writer personality. Write well! Also, always put up those fists to the unjust.

Others are stuck on my thoughts funnel. I'll let them out another time or when I'm drunk. Meanwhile, be safe, be well.

Remember, when you see any unjust, good people are not the ones who do nothing. Applies to me too if I return from LA evil.

















Remember.

Pre LA

Three days more before I head to LA.

I'm stricken by dread, not excitement, not happiness, not fear. Maybe that will change when I'm there.

I'm stricken by dread because all of you who are reading this, and those of you who know me, must know that when I'm gone, that will be the last you know of me.

I will not return the same.
