Domingo Domingo in Cinema Rehiyon 2014

I got very excited when Director Chloe Veloso informed me that our Cebuano indie film DOMINGO DOMINGO was also included in Cinema Rehiyon 2014 held in Cagayan de Oro City. She further added that the full-length movie was well applauded.

Yours truly play the role of a grandfather arnis fighter in Director Steven Atenta's film "Hangaway". Domingo Domingo is an omnibus film collaboration of seven Visayan filmmakers: Archie Manayon, Chloe Veloso, Grace Lopez, Aldo Banaynal, Nicolo Manreal, Steven Atenta, and James Luib.

Congratulations to the seven Visayan directors of Domingo Domingo as well as to my fellow actors, the actresses and the crew.

Here's the complete 2013 Philippine Stamp Issues (singles, se-tenants, blocks of 4, souvenir sheets, miniature sheets and pre-stamped envelopes) issued by the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPOST) from January to December 2013.

I compiled it these beautiful stamp issues into a photo collage. 

The Showbiz Bug Bit Me!

I never thought I will be pulled back to where I grew up - showbiz! It's as if the showbiz bug came back years later and bit me.

My grandfather Charles Uy (Uy Kieng San) started his moviehouse empire long before I was born. Together with my grandmother Carmen and the children, he owned or manage movie houses in the Visayas and Mindanao from the 1960's to the 1980's but sad to say, the family business folded up when Betamax and VHS became the fad. 

In the 80's, people preferred to watch movies in the luxury of their homes. The last movie house we operated was Constellation Theater infront of Cebu Eastern College in Leon Kilat Street. 

Then suddenly after several decades, here I am in my 40s doing things I never thought I would be doing. God surely has a purpose and I owe all my blessings to the Heavenly Father, the Santo Nino as well as to Mama Mary, San Pedro Calungsod and St. Pope John Paul II.. To God be the glory!

The photo above highlights the different projects I did in 2013.

Playing Around With An Android App

I find it cool after I converted one of my photos to a colored sketch using one of the apps I downloaded from the Google Play Store.
