two hours sleep, shot this week, in between two three-hour lectures. Clothes chosen by friends from “Khrysta’s Kollezzione” (had meetings when the collection was brought in) – this one has beading and embroidery for accent; later on, i was told the embroidery was that of the astrological signs; i couldn’t tell, i thought they were the alibata (the indigenous alphabet) – very subtle!
Cannes film fest best director Brillante Mendoza complained in a TV interview that the mother-bathing-her-child- in- a- plastic- basin scene in his movie was copied by one of the indie films in the Cinemalaya film festival.

Images in my road series music video published and shown in this blog last April, consisting of numerous (countless!) “walking away on a road” scenes, set to Carole King’s “So far away….doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore…. (Myra’s road series, photos by Myra Lambino-Ramos)
And, below, part of a “walking away on a road” scenes of a multi-million peso movie released in June this year, the dialog in one road metaphor in this movie is “Why are you walking away from me…? etc etc” as part of a long- goodbye- on- a- road scene (not included in this clip but i think you’ve seen it: the image is similar to the still in the blog, a happy coincidence: the character says her lines, slowly turns her back…. walks away from the camera…. on a road…long, long scene, as visual metaphor, her back facing the camera, and she’s wearing a small backpack, too!)
you could envisage a good-bye scene a thousand visual ways, this one, coincidentally, just had to be on a road…with the character slowly walking away…her back facing the camera, too… wearing a little backpack, too, backpack facing the camera, too… (not in this clip)
— a happy coincidence. maybe it’s just a coincidence.
