Just sharing the happy news that I'm doing a PhD Film Studies at Uni of St Andrews. I'll be working on a piece of research that's been preoccupying me for years (more on that in the future). In case you'd like to help me fulfil my dream, I'd be v grateful. Feel free to share! 🥰

Congratulations to all my students marching, graduating today. No buts! Deserve niyo! Kahit gaano katagal ninyo tinapos, may Latin honours man o wala. Big deal iyan! I've always believed that we complete a degree not for ourselves but for our parents and loved ones. At tama iyon!

Is it tenderness that I often find myself mentioning to my students that I came to UPD twenty years ago? Look at that face, 14 years young, clueless, clueless, clueless

The line and, eventually, the meme, "Nabuntis ni David ang anak ninyo at pumunta siya ng America para ipaabort ang bata," gains substantive relevance today. Whatever we produce and exchange is a product of a *specific* time.

(Strange, while at Kidlat's home)—Just got off the phone w/ Sir Ricky. I couldn't tell you how happy this makes me feel. Still arguing that SCREENPLAY is CINEMA—"That there is no film, no moving image, no cinematic discourse even, without the written word." Mabuhay ang manunulat!

Wooohooo so proud of my advisees—Calvin, Enzo, Acer—for successfully defending their thesis projects last Monday! The past few months have been exhausting (you already know the reasons) but they have delivered promising work. Ga-graduate na sila, so hire them! 🌸♥️🌻

Recognising that this is no longer a place for core expressions; everything will be misinterpreted or reinterpreted because each tweet is made to mean nothing; a person breathing is made to feel bad for breathing; a person grieving is not just grieving; soul made meaningless

Halos wala ka nang makitang LBM tarps dito sa amin. Pero ang dami pa ring Leni na nakasabit sa mga bahay. Akala ko napupuwing lang ako. Pero pagdating ko ng Roel's Bookshop, pagkakita sa akin ni Ate Elizabeth, naluha agad siya. Madalas kami magkuwentuhan. Ayun naiyak na rin ako.

indelible image from my favourite film of the previous decade. ang emphasis ko rito dati ay ang remains~ at alaala~ ng marcos regime. ngunit ngayon, putek, andito na ulit pala. nakapanlulumo. pero tuloy tayo. tuloy lang lagi.

One of the reasons I cannot stand this hellish place anymore, especially after the elections. Not just reducing what Leni and her people's movement have accomplished, but also subjecting her to inhumane standards. She deserves her happiness. She deserves her peace. Fuck off

dami nagsasabi nakaka-comfort daw yung livestreams nya kahapon pero para sakin parang tinatranquilize nya fans nya bago sila i-let down haha walang sense of urgency o acknowledgement sa kababalaghan na nangyari nung may 9

My Tatay, 77, who doesn't have socmed, is voting for Neri & Luke. No one from Unithieves. His choices are based on what he sees on TV. He's confident LBM won't win. I said: "Tay, alam mo ba internet." He said truth should matter more than the internet. I wish I was in his world.

Number one, we do not trust you. Kasalanan ninyo kung bakit hindi namin kayo pinagkakatiwalaan. Too bad, James, you will be remembered for your incompetence and complicity.

Kapag may VCM malfunction at hindi magamit pansamantala, pwede kang maghintay na maayos ang problema, o Pwede mo iwan ang balota mo sa electoral board, para sila ang mag ba-batch feed ng mga balota pag gumagana na ang makina. #VoteSAFEPilipinas
