What happened and what I did last Tuesday was indeed embarrassing. All day long the question running through my head was, “What’s the point of all these?” Why do we have to dress up in gowns and be made up to celebrate our org’s anniversary? Why at the expense of our… dignity? At the end of the day I just surrendered myself to everyone’s excitement and eagerness to see their male orgmates in drag. Well, as long as everyone is happy, I shall be happy about it. I love UP MCO nonetheless.

Yesterday, I saw Sukob at SM North EDSA’s new cinemas at their recently-opened mall, The Block. This recent addition to the SM North complex actually makes the mall larger (in terms of floor space), than what used to be called the third largest mall in the world, SM Megamall.

What just irked me when I went to SM yesterday was when I noticed that SM North EDSA’s cinemas’ lobbies are designed with pictures of Hollywood and Western movies. This also holds true to Gateway Mall’s cinemas. Am I not in Philippine cinemas? It was disappointing really, that even in the physical space and aspect of our major cinemas, we see how Hollywood-oriented our moviegoing culture persists
