SUKOB mga kapatid!

July 29, 2006

 seldom if not rarely watch Pinoy flicks. Blame it on the influence of Western culture or simply blame it on our lack of quality Pinoy Films. They really can’t force us, especially the middle and upper class, to patronize their own. UNLESS, they come up with something visually, intellectually and emotionally stimulating that will make Pinoys (across the board) spend their hard-earned peso in exchange for 2 hours worth of enjoyable moving pictures.

 

Well? Well, THAT is the case with SUKOB — a Pinoy thriller flick starring Philippines’ Drama Princess Claudine Barreto and Game Show Diva Kris Aquino.  Sukob is one of our superstitious beliefs as Filipinos. It is said among the elderly that no relatives must be wed in the same year or incase of death in the family, no weddings can be done until after a year has passed. Lest you suffer an extreme curse and be included in the circle of severe misfortune that has been around for decades and centuries, as evidenced by deaths and missing bodies.

Of Songs, Laughter and Tears

Friday was nothing spectacular for me. But in many ways, I was at peace. For one, my boss was off to another seminar/training located outside the office. This alone has already made my day complete! With her absence follows my presence in our lunch hour jam with some of my other colleagues in the Human Resources Department. They do this everyday during lunch to de-stress themselves from all the office politics and inhumane workload that they’ve been given. I rarely attend these things because I am THAT wanted by my boss. This day however, turned out to be one of those rare moments when I can simply enjoy my lunch with no hassles involved. I even got to sing!

 

Secondly, Ninette and I had a movie date at Eastwood that evening. But of course, any date with a fellow girlfriend won’t be complete without some  girl talk! After all, TALKING is really the name of the game when bonding with your girlfriends. So, having checked the movie schedule and having bought tickets, we stayed first at Jak’s Loft (my favorite since year 2001 when I used to work at Etelecare, Libis) for some (supposedly) light dinner. Their Rosemary Panini is still the best one I’ve tasted and there’s really no comparing their Beef/Chicken Stir-fry! Pair this up with their Fishbowl Iced Tea and all thoughts about dieting vanished into thin air!
