Memoir of Gemma Rodriguez

A Tribute to a friend - Gemma Rodriguez

Gemma and me @ Gateway after watching HP and the Order of pheonix @ Globe Platinum courtesy of Diana (thanks Dai)
our last getaway with her...

we all met when we decided to pursue a dream, a ladder to the path we want to fulfill and a goal we want to achieve...
we cross the same roads...and we touch lives...
we share memories, wild ideas and ....

(video in this part can be seen at saptulura2dy.livejournal.com)

It all started when we are in a shaggy classroom with 2 doors (can u imagine a clasroom with 2 doors
and a veranda for smoking sessions...) damn skul!
we are discussing HARRY POTTER.. it was a fight..whether its harryxhermione and harryxginny thing..
then eveything follows became a history in the making of the so called bakeros group. We had a film
entitled a WALK OUT TO REMEMBER, ANTS IN THE PANTS and others... (sadly it wasnt released in the local market
HAHAHAHHA im kidding!)

You used to called me che2x chichi...we used to share thoughts regarding our bestfriends!
WE LOVE JULIA ROBERTS MY BESTFRINED WEDDING!!
WE LOVE KALEIDOSTAR!! (Im even excited when there was kaleidostar 2..but sadly u already leave us)
WE LOVE PRINCE OF TENNIS (BUT IN LIVE ACTION YOU LOVE THE TEZUKA KUNIMITSU played by YUU SHIROTA)
You used to give advices regarding love, life andanything under the sun...and even about christopher!!!
(whos that?!! hahaha!)

Once I knew you as a strong woman...but... You gave up...
Youre tired (you loved your mom so much you dont want to see her suffering more), youre pressured (from your family... ur stoned father.. i hope u forgive him in ur last minute here in Gaia, ur sister, a closet thief
queenie who always pissed you.. and all ur rants regarding ur family)...the people and friends that surrounds
you (cant help from comparing their status to yours) you dont want your family to suffer
and to stop their suffering... You give way...
You want life, but if you see others suffering too much because of you...(you dont like that)
you gave up...You got alot of dreams in your life... your mom wished she knew all of those things
she treated u like a baby... but why... why suddenly gave up...
even if i tried to understand the reasons... still why? why u didnt fight it...
(I had the almost same moments during the 1st half of this year
pressured, no life because i cant moved on... im stagnant.. i told God if i dont have any purpose
anymore then please get me... but in my stupid little ways and prayers from God... the faith that He wouldnt
LET ME DOWN -cause He never eversince...my dad pass away..and all the sufferings ive been through)
ur mom tried her best (unlike mine...who easily gives up) u should fight to live for the sake
of those who loved you... u even borrowed the anime naruto... and NARUTO NEVER GIVES UP!
Kenshin even said You can always die, it's living that takes real courage.

But if God takes you because youre suffering too much then its really better you are with him on his
birthday...It may hurt us all... but all the memories are alive in our hearts we will keep it.. and our souls we'll
always recognized each other, whenever we'll go...into other worlds or being reincarnated in this stinking planet...and just like
i told you - No matter where you are...Everyone is always connected" (oh please not a mobile advertisement)

We may all feel hurt, sad because you easily leave us, because you wont be able to make memories with us.. and beacause
we miss and remember your memories with us in the past... Time will heal all these things....

I will definitely miss the way u called me cheche/chichi..
I will miss the fight between you and ella..
I will miss the most frank person in the group (i only hold the second
post, sorry fans.. no body can beat her)
I will miss you conservative views and thoughts
I will miss everything of YOU!

i wanted to dedicate a song to you.. pero di pa ako makahanap ng super swak...

but one thing for sure...
We will live our life to the fullest and never give up...
we will continue to fulfill our dreams...
for you...

Before the shadows behind us finish stretching, run awaywithout them noticing the feathers that fell from us, fly awayA sweet scent from far away around a street cornerA crying voice I think I've heard somewhere beforeRiding on the fleeting hopes carried by the night windHow far can we go?To stop us from doing that, the world shakesand takes everything from usif this was a dream, we would have wokenbut nothing happened. Advance!

I feel like things are changing nowSo long yesterday and beforeNow what’s in my heart has begun to change, alrightI have a clumsy tenderness by my sideI don’t want to have sad thoughts if I can help itBut they’re bound to come, right?When they do, I’ll smile and sayYeah hello! I hope I can call you...

After Dark -

Before the shadows behind us finish stretching, run away
without them noticing the feathers that fell from us, fly away
A sweet scent from far away around a street corner
A crying voice I think I've heard somewhere before
Riding on the fleeting hopes carried by the night wind
How far can we go?
To stop us from doing that, the world shakes
and takes everything from us
if this was a dream, we would have woken
but nothing happened. Advance!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I looked up alone at the night sky and saw a comet
In an instant it began and vanished completely but
It reminds me of you, and my chest begins to hurt
I want to see you right now, but I can't fly through the sky
If maybe I'd been able to become a comet
I would run flying through the sky
No matter what kind of tomorrow comes, this thought will be strong
So this comet is completely indestructable
Rain's falling and it's miserable, and when it hazes over
Any time now, I'll be remembering what you said
In the night sky after the rain, a star emerges beautifully
And I figure I can fall in love with the rain
If, maybe, I'd gotten the chance to be a comet
I'd overflow and spill light, always
When you're sad, you looking at the night sky
Makes me want to sparkle more, like you as you break into a smile
You're always fighting something by yourself
I can't be that thing by your side, but...
If maybe, just maybe, I had the chance to become a comet
I would surely rush to fall from the sky
Beyond a doubt, I would reach you on this moment's light
Let's wrap your "now" around the shining sky
If I'd gotten the chance to be a comet
Definitely, I'd be by your side for all time

Baby its You - June

Kimi wa itsumo kono machi taikutsu da to nageki
Hi no ataru basho sagashite iru

Kuchizusamu merodii wa sabikake no same old song
Atarashii uta kobanderu

Fuan ni naru no wa kokoro no dokoka de mirai wo shinjiteru kara

Baby, it's you sono itami mo itsu no hi ni ka omoide ni naru yo
You're the only one kangaezu ni kanjite
Karada goto furuwaseyou future is you!!

Wakaru daro kimi ni wa boku no shisen no imi ga
Yureru matsuge wa uso tsukenai

Ijiwaru wa yame na yo boku wa miterarenai
Kizutsuku no wa kimi jishin da yo

Mukuchi ni naru no wa kotoba ja tarinai kimochi ga afureteru kara

Baby it's you kareha iro ni somatta you ni shizumu koto mo aru
Let me be the one boku ga iro yo itsu demo
Kimi no koto mitsumeteru I'm by your side

Baby, it's you that I need
Baby, things are getting better
Baby, it's you that I want

Baby, it's you sono itami mo itsu no hi ni ka omoide ni naru yo
You're the only one kangaezu ni kanjite
Karada goto furuwaseyou future is you!!

Baby it's me kimi wa itsumo hitori ja nai boku wa koko ni iru
We should be as one tsumazuitemo kamawanai
Kimi ni ima tsutaetai the thing called love

Don't you know everything is all right?
Can't you see the future's so bright?
Now you know nothing in the world
Can come between you and me

Don't you know everything is all right?
Can't you see the future is so bright?
Let's hear the voice of peace, hope, joy,
Freedom, happiness and love

Django Gets Mixed Reception at Venice Festival

2007-09-07T02:29:00.000-07:00

Miike Takashi's "Sukiyaki Western Django" was screened for the press and general public yesterday (Japan time), receiving totally opposite reactions. During the press screening, a number of people left the theater during the first half of the movie and afterwards there was only a sprinkling of applause. Later that evening the general public got their look at the movie, and showered the mix of spaghetti western and Japanese period drama with tumultuous applause. Some were no doubt delighted to see festival favorite Quentin Tarantino (44), who makes a cameo appearance. And though the rest of the cast is Japanese, including top comedian Ishibashi Takaaki (45, best known abroad for his role in 1994's "Major League II"), the dialog is entirely in English. Asked at a press conference why a Japanese director would possibly want to make a "macaroni western" (as they are known in Japan), Miike (47) said, "When I was growing up, spaghetti westerns were in their heyday. We played with toy guns and naturally wanted to make this kind of movie when we grew up." Star Itoh Hideaki (32) said, "Though I don't speak the language at all, this experience made me want to do another movie in English." When he added, "And I'd really like to make another spaghetti western in Japan, but this time in Italian," he was warmly applauded by local reporters. Django is Miike's fourth movie to be shown at Venice, but is his first competitive entry. The winner of the Golden Lion award will be announced on September 8.
