I Thank You

Once upon a time, a pretty little boy was born.

He is not an ordinary pretty little boy.

When he grew older, he wanted to become a girl.

And so he tried his best to become a girl.

He joined contests for 'people like him', also wanting to become a girl.

But fate and luck is not on his side. Not just sometimes. Not just most of the time. But all of the time.

And he became famous as a Thank You girl.

I was a Thank You Girl.

Lol

A few hours ago, Edz, KC and I attended the Davao premiere of Direk Bebs' movie (na tatalo sa The Dark Knight) ang The 'Thank You' Girls.

We arrived before 8pm. Akala namin we're late na. Buti na lang at 'di pa pala nagsisimula.

A lot of people were gathered outside the Cinema 1 of Gaisano mall. Including the cast and of course, the very talented and beautiful director of the movie 'herself'.

Direk saw me first and yelled my name. Akala ko kung sino. I looked stupid because I did not recognise him. Gusto kong batukan ang sarili ko.

Si Direk Bebs pa ang nag introduce sa sarili nya. Naka-nganga lang ako. Talking about my 'stupidest moment'. Lol. It was so awkward and nakakahiya in my part.

Direk, pasensya na. Na-starstruck ako eh. Hihi

Anyway, we made picture2x. Konting chika and we made our way inside the theatre.

So, what can I say about the movie?

It's an obviously funny film. But beyond its comedy is honesty and seriousness.

Would I recommend it to you?

Of course yes! =p

Watch it with your friends. The more, the merrier.
