When JC met...
Just invaded MCS for a fix of pirated DVDs (yes, i buy pirated DVDs, and it's not something i'm ashamed of.) and got myself a copy of "When Harry Met Sally. I think it's one of the best, not to mention most witty Rom Coms ever made.And just like any other romantic comedy, this movie got me thinking...again. (Surprise,surprise!)I've always ranted about how gay life can be so hard and how a gay man's love life can be so harsh. (If you've noticed, i only update my blog when it concerns my epiphanies about my love life or lack thereof. For some reason, self-pity can be a good catalyst for writing.) Anyway, back to the movie, i realized that whether you're gay or straight, finding someone to have a relationship with is not easy. In world with billions of people, you would think it should be easy, but it ain't. I guess, everyone refuses to let go of their ideals, or are just too blind to see what's in front of them. I think love can be found everywhere, we just have to learn how to open our eyes. It's something i've been trying to work hard on achieving, and i can's say i've done it. But the admission that i have been "close" to the possibilities, seems like a good start. I hope it gets me somewhere eventually.
Anyway, this realization couldn't have come in a more perfect time. A friend of mine who works for The Marilou Diaz-Abaya told me that they're looking for scripts to produce and make into a movie. I told him i'm in the process of writing one, and i showed what i've done so far. The piece is autobiographical and as of now the story isn't done. In fact it's been in limbo for quite some time. I guess that's a reflection of where my life is right now- -in limbo. My friend was really excited about the storyline and encouraged me to finish it. He said he showed it to Direct and she was enthused. That should give me enough motivation. But honestly, i don't know how to continue with the story. Hopefully, before the week ends, i'll have the answers.
