today's one of the weirdest and hatest days of my life. just this morning, i lost ALL of the Black Jack episodes i downloaded yesterday. this afternoon, the sun appeared itself meaning that there would be classes on Monday. then, also, just this afternoon, i got myself mad at my own mother again because she kept on saying to me "REVIEW! REVIEW!". i can't review since i lost the episodes i downloaded and i gotta download them again. i hate it how my mom keeps on reminding me of things to do. although, i know that it's wrong to be angry at her, i still don't like her attitude towards of myself today. she even said the things that i always think of, that parents are sacrificing their lives just for their children. but anyway...i know that i've done something wrong, and with that i have a sin against God.
now this post is getting more deeper, weirder, and understandable. but anyway...going to another topic.
i'm getting the main idea of Indie Films now. the very first Indie film i watched was "Batad" during my First Year. and yes, the main actor and actress even showed their real faces in front of us. it was a great film for me since we could see a story while viewing the great rice terraces.
A 14-year old Batad Boy, a high school dropout, is forced to sell produce in the Banawe market to augment the family income while his father pursues the philantrophic mission of repairing the rice terraces of adjoining Ifugao villages. Exposed to Western modernization in Banawe, the boy obsesses with owning a pair of rubber shoes that he does not really need. In pursuit of his dream sneakers, he takes on all odd jobs imaginable and ultimately becomes a tour guide. During one of his tours, he barters his guide fee for a pair of shoes which are, however, too big for him. Upon possessing the long-desired rubber shoes, he attempts to leave his Ifugao roots and chase big city dreams. Written by Cinemalaya 2006.

and, just last thursday. my mother and i watched another indie film that we just seen in a commercial in UniversiTV. the funny part was, i thought the two of us would only be the people who would watch the film. but luckily, there were still who watched besides us. lol.
Haw-Ang (international title: “Before Harvest”) is a new digital film that chronicles Sister Adel’s mission to an isolated village in the mountains and how she changes the future of the tribal children forever. Set in the breathtaking Hungduan rice terraces in Ifugao, “Haw-Ang” primarily campaigns for quality education for the youth, while delving into the different modes of “learning” that has shaped various characters as well. Although the storyline is fictional, the themes explored in “Haw-Ang” faithfully mirror social reality.
