Igme Files, The Third

Update: I had to currently update this site. From the first and last post, this has got to be updated, from design and color overhaul, and a new post. -- July 6, 2008

This blog site is my third blog I've created. The first two, friendster and multiply, they offer blogs, so I might as well try this. What's the difference in posting here? Well, I was inspired by a friend who has an account here. Like him, this is my n0-holds-barred, tell-all site of mine. Kse sa friendster, andami kong friends dun (563 friends at the latest), 'yung iba dun ininvite ko for personal reason (read: flirty), 'yung iba, classmates from grade school to college. Invite lang ako nang invite dun, kahit hindi ko naging close. Yung iba, ininvite din ako kahit hindi di'ko kilala. Siguro may pagnanasa din sila sa akin, o pampa-dagdag lang. Sino ba ang tatanggi dun. hehe Tsaka andun ang sister-hood at brother-hood ko at mga pinsan, so behave.

Sige, mamaya ko muna 'to ipagpapatuloy. I got to see two free Iranian films at UP. Alam n'yo na siguro na indie filmmaker ako. Tagal ko nang hindi nakakapanood ng film since I started teaching English part-time and other rakets na hindi related sa film...(more on these).
Hindi ko alam, bakit nahilig ako ngayon sa Iranian Cinema. Well, sabi nga sa amin ni Nick de Ocampo, dapat nood lang nang nood ng mga films, kahit kachakahan. Huwag mamili. Because in bad films, we'd also learn from them. I'm not saying Iranian cinema is bad. On the contrary, they are recognized in international cinema.

Iniisip ko nga siya kanina bakit, Iranian Cinema is an enigma to me. I got introduced to them only last year, after watching "Taste of Cherry" by Abbas Kiarostami, "Baran" by Majid Majidi and lastly, yung short film na napanood ko two weeks ago. Beyond the rocky plateaus and harsh weather conditions, beyond the veiled garments, they have intrinsic and amazing stories to tell the world. And the men, yum-yum!
