Charice Pempengco

A 15-year-old Filipina named Charice Pempengco has proven me right once again. Filipinas sing better than black girls in my opinion. Charice performed a Dreamgirls song And I Am Telling You, which won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar, only Charice did it better. I’m certain Pedophiles who roam the Internet will agree, if not just for the fact this is a 14 year-old girl in a skirt.

Some of her stunning performances

56th International Filmfestival Mannheim-





Number Two after Berlin – 56th International Filmfestival Mannheim-
Heidelberg ends successfully

The 56th International Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg ended this weekend awarding the Main Award of Mannheim-Heidelberg and several further prizes.

„With persistence and consistency the Newcomer festival has conquered the second position after the Filmfestival Berlin“, said Dr. Michael Kötz, festival director and artistic director since 15 years, at the closing press conference in Mannheim. This position is not surprising from an international perspective as for many years the festival has been listed as one of the 40 most important film festivals worldwide. Many comments from industry professionals and the media reveal that the

International Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg is the second most important German film festival after the Berlinale. In particular the festival’s unique and consistent profile as a premieres’ festival of newcomer films has strengthend this position.....

I was involved in the set up of the film festival. yeh. Work like Kuli.
We basically set up everything u will be seeing from scratch! (From a empty grass terrace)











It took us about 2 weeks to build everything that you will be seeing.

The International Film festival took about 2 weeks time. I had lotsa memories here.!



Film Poster from Chile -Nice movie

Moon-setting at 11pm




During the festival , I was assigned to a urgent task.
Running german subtitle for international contest films.

At 1st, it was instead chaotic. Trying to set in the subtitle at the correct timing..
The whole picture was like, as if I was playing computer game.

Because of this job, I have watched more than 20 films. I must say some are good, some are beautiful , some makes you think, some challenge your senses, some reflected the truth...

Just like a paint pallet. You got a little of here and there in this wonderful filmfest.

I had an idea. I think lotsa people don't really have a chance to have a look at the cinema projector. Therefore, I took a series of pictures.



The film roll is bigger than what I imagined




Different magnifying lenses for the projector

The Girl From Ipanema

"The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema") is a well-known bossa nova song, a worldwide hit in the mid-1960s that won a Grammy for "Record of the Year" in 1965.




Astrud Gilberto - The Girl From Ipanema


Jobim - Garota de Ipanema - Girl from Ipanema


Frank Sinatra - the girl from ipanema

This remind you of something? - La vie en rose

I posted a list of La vie en rose sang by s French singer, Édith Piaf and covered by other artists.

I was actually not noticed that ,there was a film 'La vie en rose' in June 2007 about legendary french signer,Édith Piaf.



In fact, I knew this song for quite some years back.

Recently, this song knocked me again ,when I was watching the film Ruby Blue in Mannheim and heidelberg International Film Festival.

A little girl was playing this song and later sang by a french lady with a piano.

I must admit i am a much sentimental person than people would thought.

This piece of music does make people misty.

My little piece of imagination:

Someone, a girl maybe looking out to a bright starring sky from her balcony. Listening to this song, having some wine and missing that special someone. She is tipsy, but not drunk.She let herself relax and sat on a swinging couch.

She falls to her dreamland as the music end.

Need more to elaborate feature? Make up your own story!! enjoy!


I don't like this version .But, the emotion that brought to this song is hammer!




by a famous singer in France ,Mireille Mathieu

A Jazzy melody - I will dance this piece with the love one when we are teeth-less and still smiling.

Father and Daughter

The animation was created by Michael Dudok De Wit

A Holland animator ,director

No words require to be articulated.

Father and Daughter is a 2000 Dutch animated short film, made by Michaël Dudok De Wit. It won the 2000 Academy Award for Animated Short Film.

The film also received other 20 wins and 1 nomination and is considered the most successful in the series of works by Michaël which attracts the biggest audiences.

Story plot

A father says goodbye to his young daughter and leaves. As the wide Dutch landscapes live through their seasons so the girl lives through hers. She becomes a young woman, has a family and in time she becomes old, yet within her there is always a deep longing for her father.






To ponder :

Does this happened to you? You have a faith on a certain event , things or person,
Its gone, it is quite unsure you will find it back, your love ones, your success or your youth.

But you keep trying. trying. and trying.

You may end up with nothing. OR something. Something that is within your imagination or even visible to oneself.

I will like to say : Keep Fighting . Even you may look like an idiot or fool , even there is merely a glimpse of chance. Fight! Eventually we reach what we wanted. May be not in real. But we do get SOMETHING from it.
