Film and Sense

I have been taking care of a sick family member for the time being. It can be stressful, so I make sure that I take breaks every now and then. 

I frequent the hospital chapel for some silence in the middle of the day.

I also knit to keep myself calm and cheerful.

I also continue to watch films! The other night, I caught the showing of Tanabata’s Wife at UP Film.

It was beautifully shot and acted. Mai Fanglayan, who won Best Actress at the Tofarm Film Festival for the title role, was there for a short Q&A session.

Everyone in the audience receives button pins. It was a fun screening at UP, as always.

I bought vanilla milk tea from Moonleaf Maginhawa after the screening. I was preparing for two more movies that night.

I love the Christmas vibe at the cafe!

I continued my movie marathon at Cinema Centenario. My second film for that night was On Your Wedding Day. It was a funny, light feature.

My third and last film for the night was Liway. Glaiza de Castro was amazing as a rebel mom. She also sang Pagbabalik well. Overall, it was heartbreaking film with a wonderful ending. I ended up crying while enjoying my dinner.

I ate mt Tornado Peri-Peri chicken to-go. It was delicious! It was the perfect companion to Liway.

If you also love films, go for a marathon at your local micro cinemas!  Support your local restaurants and cafes too. And don’t forget to clean as you go, especially since micro cinemas are usually kept clean by the owners themselves. Be a good cinephile and do yourself a favor by watching the latest features today.
