Of friends and Cannes

Yesterday was tiring but it was all fun! We applied for a Schengen visa and wooops! It was succesful, thus, we will get it by tomorrow, Yay! I am going to Cannes! I am going to Paris! Yey! Got me super excited!

Watched Danny Boyle’s ‘Trance’ and liked it. Really, I did.

Come night time and we had a Fund-raising dinner (cum-send-off-party?) at M Cafe. We were greatly overwhelmed for friends who came and showed support. Much thanks also to my Ninong Elmer Borlongan and Ninang Plet Bolipata for coming over. As for me, I had fun talking to Richard Bolisay, Oggs Cruz, Dodo Dayao among others. I never expected to have an instant friendship with Richard, I guess it’s our common ‘struggle’ that brought us talking non-stop.

In behalf of Lav and the Norte cast and crew, thank you so much for all those who showed support in one way or another.

Cannes, here we come!
