Hi there. It’s been two years since I last wrote here. And boy have I discovered so much about life. I can’t wait to write you about it, but since you’re here now, let me try and summarize everything so far: … I no longer work at night. My days of working in a call center agent is finally over! I read somewhere that God … Continue reading Dreams
You are strong and vulnerable, as the world cannot often accept that one can be susceptible to pain and yet stand firmly on the ground. You are weak and funny, yet you put the most fearless mask around. You are a Chamelon; you accept challenges as they are and accept that change is inevitable. It will always be inevitable. In every risk, there’s always … Continue reading Dear Woman
2014 was all about losses and wins. A number of things from a dear friend in Christopher Fajardo to a house I lived in for almost half my life, to pets and comedians and brilliant actors and actresses, to my ever failing ability to keep a proper time management to do the things I love. This year was surely a year for valuable … Continue reading 2014 in review
It has always been on my annual list of 500 films. Yes, I kind of thought of the number of films to watch in a year was a coincidence, but it’s a challenge on it’s own. Though I could also write a different entry on five ways this film almost ruined me, because for three years now every time I try to manage a list … Continue reading Everything I Learned, I Learned from the film [500] Days of Summer
I first met Chris in my imagination. That may sound ridiculous but allow me to explain. It all started about my twin sister’s stories about a tranchemate/officemate she had at work who lent us copies of foreign films. When I say foreign, I don’t mean easy to pick up at the videostore Hollywood movies (with the exception of some Hollywood films which are surprisingly available … Continue reading Being Chris Fajardo

I’ve wanted to feel your presence Yet my question remains, Is that wine or beer? I’ve always wanted A hand to hold, A face to cheer, A weekend to spend, To give a gift so bold, I’ve … Continue reading wine or beer?
13 June 2014 Dear Being Chris, It’s Friday the 13th and I chanced upon Claude Chabrol’s Les Cousins. It says on the back that this is a love story. Well, sort of. About this provincial man going to Paris to study Law and live with his cousin and then he falls in love. The summary at the back’s quite vague so I’m giving it a … Continue reading Les Cousins (The Cousins)
Here’s something even more personal, brought to you by no one else but me. I’ve reached rock bottom several times in my life before and it is most definitely the toughest place I’ve ever been. Sometimes even if you surround yourself with plenty of people, when you hit rock bottom, you’re there all alone. With no one else to guide you but yourself and probably … Continue reading A Letter To My Twenty Four Year Old Self
First times will always be the best. I’ve been out of my couch lately and I’ve set aside a couple of films to catch up on other aspects of my life. Though I will forever be indebted to film, and will still find myself wanting for more time, recently I’ve caught up on the latest trends on television and music. I attended my very first … Continue reading A World of Wander
#17 Her (2013) 3 February 2014 Love is an inevitable thing that mankind cannot ever withstand. Love is an intense emotion that can cross boundaries. This is accurate in Spike Jonze’s 2013 sci-fi romantic drama comedy about a man in a not-so distant future falling in love with his Operating System. Exactly how complicated is it to love and be loved? How does technology affect … Continue reading Love in the Modern World
