Cinemalaya and Krispy Kremes

Teddy: Ano ang ginagawa mo sa mga bagay na nawawala?

(What do you do with the things that have been lost?)

Jet: Hinahanap (look for it)

Teddy: Pag di mo nahanap? (What if you can’t find it?)

Jet: Pinapalitan (Find a replacement)

Teddy: Pag di mo pwedeng palitan? (What if you cant replace it?)

Jet: Kinakalimutan (..Forget about it)

Teddy: Eh ano ginagawa mo sa mga bagay na nawawala, hindi mo mahanap, hindi mo mapalitan, at hindi mo makalimutan ?

(Then, what do you do with the things that you lost, that you cant find, that you cant replace and that you cant forget?)

Jet: Tinatanggap (accept it)

These lines are from one Cinemalaya entry entitled “Tulad ng Dati”, that we watched yesterday. Cinemalaya is the independent film festival of the Philippines and is sponsored by the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

And since the La Sallian community fully supports the festival, all students taking up English classes, film appreciation, humanities and Mass Communications are required to watch the entries from Cinemalaya Festival. The story focuses on the band life of The Dawn.

It is a very inspirational film that teaches us to live life and move on. And i'll bet, band lovers and members surely love the film.

we are supposed to watch "Saan Nagtatago si Happiness?" (Where is Happiness hiding?)
but we ended up watching "Tulad ng Dati"

"Tulad ng Dati" or in English, "Just Like Before" which stars the Philippines' premier rock band:
The DAWN

The Dawn: JB Leonor (drums), Jett Pangan (lead vocals), Francis Reyes (lead guitars) and Buddy Zabala (bass)

The film inspired me to play with my guitar again

Ex-Bass Player of the Dawn, Carlos Balcells,
is present during the Tulad ng Dati screening

he used to play for "The Dawn" before he left the band in 2004
to perform his duties as city councilor in Talisay City, Negros Occidental

Only Jo Ann have the guts to go in front and raise a question for the director
(actually her sole purpose is to have a picture with Carlos Balcells)

The director of Tulad ng Dati, Mike Sandejas

picture perfect! and we are the only chosen few who have this privilege pictorial
(b-f) Carlos Balcells' wife (she keeps on laughing every time i call her Mommy), Carlos Balcells, Direk Mike Sandejas, Jo Ann, Rina, Daister and me

3 teachers, 3 students and the Director
