Philippine Academic Book Fair 2011

Instead of going on a Saturday, we went to SM Megamall on a Tuesday afternoon, after finding out that we don't have a Film Appreciation class, we went straight to the book fair and there we saw hundreds of academic books that are shelled out for the public. Here are some of the books I saw.

We saw few communication books that are quite pricey, I wanted to buy but I think the most cheapest price range that I saw was around 1K.

Other school publication was there too, like UST, they have educational books that they publish and also some religious books too. I think the book fair is a good way for other students to appreciate the beauty of academic books and how it can help us to learn or read new infos about everything.

Looking forward to next year's book fair, hopefully I can buy one.

My experiences on Cinemalaya 2011

July 15-24 2011 marks the Cinemalaya week, a week of celebration of the pinoy indie film in the country. Though it's not really the biggest event for some, but a very special for indie film directors and also to some aspiring film makers.

Some of my block mates decided to skip Eco class, because we fear that the CCP will be packed of people by the time reach there. When we arrived at CCP many students of other schools were there, we saw few famous faces like Lorna Tolentino's two sons, the very respected Ricky Davao, and saw the very gorgeous Gretchen Barreto.

I got so starstruck-ed at first but then I over come it by just staying calm and not being so ignorant at all. We stroll around CCP while waiting for the go signal, we viewed the beautiful exhibits about this years movie entries for Cinemalaya.

I wish hopefully next year there is more space to accommodate for people who will attend the opening cause' sadly we didn't get any good view because we only watched it from the 2nd floor.

After the opening the free screening of Maskara premiered, everyone rushed into the cinema to watch Laurice Guillen's masterpice, the movie was simple yet meaningful, it was a good way to start of the Cinemalaya week.

The Making of the Picture

Our group's theme was adapted from the famous American TV series entitled "Pretty little Liars". The show's plot revolves around lies, drama, and friendship. We decided to use the colors red and black to further enhance and embody the dramatic concept of the series. 

We had our photoshoot last June 27, 2011. After class, we all went to Maiky Berenguer's home at Espiritu Street, just few blocks away from school. We did our own make-up and got dressed up for the photo shoot as soon as we arrived.

Here are some behind-the-scenes shots taken before the shoot; kudos to Innah Andrea Corral who is also our block mate, she was our photographer for that day.

A big THANK YOU to Innah Andrea Corral and Michaela Angelica Berenguer
