Anyway, here's an exclusive interview with this blog's author, by the blog's author himself ….. ME!!!! Get the hard to find details about orangeyogurt's one month hiatus!!!

ME: Okay, Van, diretsahan….. what happened? Anong nangyari at naisipan mo pang bumalik?

Ako: I am back to a state na wala na naman akong magawa. I mean, it's not my intention naman na sabayan ang pagbabalik ni Angel Locsin… pero feel ko lng po talagang mag-blog ulit.

ME: Have you realized how your absence affected the blog community?

Ako: Yeah.. in a way …. ung absence ko … parang absence ko din nung college… di nahalata ng professor!!!!

ME: What really happened? What prevented you from blogging during those days?

Ako: I had a long trip to Thailand. When I went back, my friends and I decided to visit Boracay. We met some people and we decided to spend some horny nights in Amsterdam.

ME: Lubos bang naapektuhan ng tagtuyo't at biglaang pag-ulan ang iyong pagiisip kaibigan?

Ako: Well fine, the truth is…. naglipat po kami ng bahay.

ME: Okay. Please dont make it hard for me… anong konek?

Ako: Sa nilipatan naming community… iisa lng po ag internet cafe… sobrang bagal pa ng connection… walang air-con…. wala pang street lights… madaming aso!!! I can't risk my life to go there and update my blog. I plan to use OLAY pa naman someday.

ME: Ah okay! Bago ka umalis, and while you were gone, at kahit sa iyong pagbabalik …. maraming intriga ang binabato sa'yo. Diretsahan… ikaw nga ba talaga ang nasa sex video? Totoo ba na isang kasambahay ang iyong ina?

Ako: Ay kuya! Pakicheck po ng index card? Parang hinde po ata sa akin ang mga tanong?

ME: Ay Sori! Any plans for this blog?

Ako: Lingid po sa alam ng nakakarami… eh… nag ONE YEAR na po ang blog na ito last JULY 8, 2007!!!!! I'm looking forward for another year of fun, tragedy and calamities!

ME: Maraming salamat at ako'y iyong pinaunlakan kaibigan.

Paris Je t’aime ulit!

Lots of thanks to CINEMANILA for including this film on their line-up. I have been hunting dvd stalls for a copy of this movie for several months now, actually, since I published an article about it on my site last January.

The idea of collecting 18 works of world-renowned filmmakers into one film is indeed attractive. A 5 minute short , shot in a known neighborhood in Paris as assigned to each director and the plot must relate to one thing …. LOVE …. both bitter and sweet part of it !!!

Problem about this film is that you really cant afford to miss a minute. A minute is like 1/5 of a segment. I wasnt able to enjoy it that much because I have to hold my bladders until the credit rolls. But anyway, the movie is nothing less than brilliant. Though several story lines were like potholes on a film that is almost perfect, it is impossible not to fall in love with the film.

The film tried not to be sappy and cheesy, but I guess it can't divert its roads from being… well … as I mentioned …sappy and cheesy. Because ultimately, LOVE is indeed ….ghaaaad !!!! …. the sappiest and the cheesiest thing in the world!!!!!! It could make you cry in the most serious and petty reasons and it could make you do the corniest, craziest and the most stupid things in the world!!!

There were some segments that are really funny. I was laughing at that part featuring Elijah Wood. I was expecting for it to be scary but it was a complete 360 degrees turn from that genre. It was actually cute. And yeah .. Elijah was cute… The storyline was funny. It was sort of slapstick but really funny. (syempre ilang beses kong sinabing funny, so malamang, funny nga talaga sya!!) I also liked the story of that boy whose parents are mime.

I was enthralled by how love was presented in different angles. There were some storyline where the viewer is not spoon fed on how love relates to those characters. Love was shown in different angles. So dont be surprised with the mixed emotions that would fill you up while watching the movie. I myself was deeply affected by some of the scenes. Especially the storyline about the mother who takes care of some other people's baby but sadly cant take care of her own. My tear ducts were squeezed in that storyline about an African Man who was given a chance to spend minutes before his death with the woman who never knew his existing affection. One notable plot was about a man who was supposed to leave his wife for his mistress, but a tragic revelation made him stay and he later found himself in love with his wife again. He was left emotionally dead when his wife died at the end and he has that longing to see his wife again every time he sees a woman who wears red trench coat.

There were several bumps on some of the contributions, but they didn't spoil the film as a whole in any way at all. The last part was my favorite. It was so hilarious.. I didn't expect that it would be sad and leave a bang of realization at the end. That part alone was worth 3/4 of the movie ticket!
