Acting in his blood? :)

-

It was quite an experience for Jake to be invited to shoot a video for Amonsagana, a high-end real estate project in Cebu. We were hesitant to do it, even up to the day of the appointed time. The only thing going for us was the thought that it was Jake's school break and he was excited to do it.

It took two long days to do the scenes. And being new to this, we could hardly imagine how it would turn out. The work put together by everyone on the set was remarkable. For people to envision the finished product while shooting the short scenes over and over in different angles and vantage points using a crane or a drone, I salute the creative minds behind the camera.

Two days of running around between costume changes, the rushing to catch the perfect daylight, the driving to Balamban or Cantipla and back, the revisions, the retakes... it was exhilarating to be in the middle of it all. And all that for a 5 minute clip. Haha.

Whether this clip ends up on tv or stays as AVP for the company is beside the point. The whole thing was a unique experience for Jake, his Pa and me and I have new found respect for the people in front of or behind the camera, who enjoy doing the craft.

So here, have a look.

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
