I downloaded a movie called "Mga Babae Sa Isla Azul" and watched it last night. It was released in 1997 featuring Ynez Veneracion, Isko Moreno and introducing my friend, Dave Montelibano.A group of "Promos", models and a photographer who stay on an isolated island, do fashion shoots in the day, make-out at night and at the MIDDLE of the movie, encounter the bad guys (Loose criminals hiding out in this island)
Nauso before ang mga titillating movies kaya kahit walang kuwentang story at low-budget, may mga gumagawa ng ganitong klaseng pelikula. Actually, tawag nila pito-pito films, kasi nga it took seven days para gumawa ng isang pelikula. Lousy plot, lousy acting, lousy direction, lousy art direction... this film failed miserably at entertaining me intellectually! At best its probably funny watched drunk or stoned: Patrick dela Rosa as a fashion model, Isko Moreno as a Director in Speedos the whole time and Dave, who acted as the cameraman.
It was the first time that my friend Dave (Jeffrey in real life) appeared in a movie. Medyo nakakabitin nga daw yong shooting dahil madalian daw yong pelikula na yon dahil konti lang ang budget at maiksi lang yong role niya sa pelikula. That was the year ng kasikatan niya, where he worked as GRO sa isang club.. He got the looks. Minsan nga palagi siyang napagkakamalan na si John Lloyd Cruz. Hindi tulad ng iba, Dave tried to manage his finances at sinikap niyang mag-aral. Now, may sarili na siyang negosyo.
Dave is a very kind person and a nice friend. Kaya naman when I called him na pauwi na ako, he was excited and we plan everything na gagawin namin, together with my other friends, this holiday season. Actually, i–set aside niya na lang daw muna yong business niya para samahan niya akong mamasyal. Honestly, may hinihingi siyang pasalubong sa akin na hindi ko maibigay este maisama pauwi, kaya babawi na lang ako sa quality time na puwede kong ibigay sa kanya once na magkita kami.
Of course I will spend most of my time with my family. Uunahin ko muna ang family ko and make sure that everything will be fine, after that, I’ll try to manage to meet my close friends dahil tagal na rin naming di nagkita-kita and hopefully, I can accommodate all of them especially yong mga classmates ko (since it is our 20th anniversary), brothers in fraternity, my co-blogger Richard of Paluan, some of our SE talents, and my special friend whom I will surprise on his birthday and many more.
