Horror Comedy Short Movie: Terror at the Park

Cate, Ervyn and I were jogging in Ang Mo Kio Park when the forest inspired us to make an impromptu movie ala Blair Witch. Impromptu meaning there wasn't even a script, we just rolled the camera and started running and screaming all over the place. Once we got home, that's when we thought about how to piece all the separate footages into one film. I used iMovie to edit it and got the music from Youtube.

Birthday Newsletter for Ronald

It was my dear friend Ronald's birthday, the tenth one he was celebrating with me as his friend. As a gift to him and a tribute to our decade of friendship, I decided to come up with the second edition of the college newsletter which we had co-founded, Balance $heet. I used the Pages application to create it. Here is the entire thing in PDF or you can click on the pictures below and click zoom to enlarge them.

Hoy hoy, Romi
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nong tayo'y nagsasama?
Hoy hoy, Rosa
Naaalala mo pa ba
Ang iyong mga sinabi nung POT ko’y mababa ?

Sabi mo, "lahat ng problema'y kayang lampasan,
Basta't tayo'y magkasama, at nag-pipicturan!"

Hoy hoy, Roma
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung nagdouble payment tayo kasi tatanga-tanga (TANGA!)
Hoy hoy, Pepita
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung ako’y napagalitan ng contact ko from Korea?

Mangiyak-ngiyak na'ko pero sabi mo ay "Okay lang yan!
Basta't tayo'y nagsasama, at nag-kakantahan!"

Kaya naman ako bilib sa iyo
Kasi parang napakacool mo.
Lahat ng problema ay kaya mong tawanan
Basta't mayroong kabarkada at may Thom Sumagang!

(Instruments playing)

Hoy hoy, Rolie
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung araw na nagbabye ako from P&G?
Hoy hoy, Rosie
Naaalala mo pa ba
Nung ika'y yumakap sa'kin at tayo’y umiiyak...

Tapos pagkatapos no'n, kay tagal kong nawala.
Nagulat na lang ako nung narinig ko ang balita.
Akala ko pa naman na forever dyan ka na,
Nalaman ko na lang na ikaw pala’y nagresign na...

Hoy Mommy
Nasaan ka man, siguradong happy ka, dahil ang anak mo’y andyan
Hoy Osang
Nasaan ka man, siguradong hindi ka namin malilimutan

Hoy Roma Rosa Pepita
Hoy Romilie Rosalie Ronalie

Hoy hoy, Mylene
Wag ever malimutan ang iyong mga sinabi nong ika’y nasa P&G pa

You had the right job
At the wrong time
Guess we always knew inside
We wouldn't have you for a long time

Those dreams of yours
Are shining in chocolate stores
And if they're calling you away
We have no right to make you stay

But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
We know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong with AP

Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
It doesn't matter if you're gone
We still believe in us together
We understand more than you think we can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home (to India)

And somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong with AP
Letting go is just another way to say
We'll always love you so

You had the right job
At the wrong time
Maybe we've only just begun
Maybe the best is yet to come

Cause somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong
With AP

Joel Ko

O AP ko meron tayong problema
Wag mong sabihing na naman
Iiwan tayo ng boss na hunk at gwapo
Hindi na mapipigilan
Wag na nating idaan sa maBOTEng usapan
Lalo lang madaragdagan ang sakit ng ulo
at bilbil sa tiyan

O kay sarap sya'y naging boss at PR man
Napuno tayo ng pag-asa
Yun pala hanggang dun lang ang kaya
Akala ko ay pwede pa

[Refrain:]
Masakit mang isipin
Kailangang tanggapin
Kung kelan ka naging seryoso
Saka ka niya lilisanin

[Chorus:]
O, diyos ko
Ano ba naman ito
Di ba umalis si Jon
Ngayon si Joel naman
Pinaasa nila tayo
Letseng P&G to
O diyos ko ano ba naman ito

Sabi niya ayaw niya muna mag-GBS
Dehins ako naniwala
Di nagtagal nagkaoffer ang MDO
Kulang na lang ay sagot niya

At ayun tinanggap nya
Sabi nya babalik sya
Hanggang kelan maghihintay
Ako ay magreresign na

Pero minamahal ko siya
Di biro T.L. ako sa kanya
Alam kong nababaduyan ka na sa mga sinasabi ko
Pero sana naman ay maintindihan mo

O Joel ko meron ka bang maipapayo
Kung wala ay okey lang
Kailangan lang ay ang iyong pakikiramay
Andito ka ay ayos na

[Repeat refrain and chorus]

Always Be Your Babies

We were as one team for a moment in time.
And it seemed everlasting that you would always be ours.
Now you want to be free, so we're letting you fly,
'cause we know in our hearts, boss, our love will never die.

You'll always be a part of AP.
We're part of you indefinitely.
Boy, don't you know you can't escape us.
Ooh Joel, cause we'll always be your babies.
And we'll linger on.
Time can't erase a feeling this strong.
No way you're ever gonna shake us.
Ooh Joel, 'cause we'll always be your babies.

We ain't gonna cry, no, and we won't beg you to stay.
If you're determined to leave boss,
We will not stand in your way.
But inevitably you'll be back again,
'cause you know in your heart, boss, our love will never end.

(chorus)

We know that you'll be back, boy,
when your days and your nights get a little bit boring.
We know that you'll be right back, bossing.
Joel, believe us, it's only a matter of time.

(chorus)
