YESTERDAY GIRL (Abschied von gestern)
Directed by Alexander Kluge
1966, 88 minutes
Cast: Alexandra Kluge, Hans Korte, Edith Kuntze-Pellogio, Günter Mack

Winner, Gold Award for Outstanding Feature Film, Gold Award for Best Actress
(Alexandra Kluge), Gold Award for Best Director (Alexander Kluge) and Gold
Award for Best Supporting Actor (Günter Mack), 1967 German Film Awards.
Winner, OCIC Award: Honorable Mention and Special Jury Prize, 1966 Venice
International Film Festival.

This stunning feature debut by Alexander Kluge launched the movement known
as the New German Cinema after the film's triumph at the Venice
International Film Festival.  At the heart of the film is the performance of
Alexandra Kluge, the director's sister, who stars as a young East German
woman named Anita G. Carrying all of her belongings in a flimsy suitcase,
Anita passes through the Berlin Wall looking for a better life in the
promised land of West Germany. But, that dream eludes her because she can't
let go of the childhood and past experiences that have determined her
unfortunate path.



The films are in German with English subtitles. No registration required.
The cinema opens 30 minutes before each screening and seating is on a
first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call 8170978 or

TV is DEAD! Flippish.com Launch Party!

"Television is Dead" - this is what the people behind Flippish.com believe. With the now-easy availability of the Internet and increasing broadband speeds being offered, more people spend more time online nowadays, online entertainment is proving that it is indeed the wave of the future.

FLIPPISH is a play on the word Filipino.  In the US and other countries, some Pinoys are called Flips. The word FLIPPISH could also mean something that is odd, crazy or weird.

Flippish.com is spearheaded by Chris Tan, the co-founder and Managing Director of Ideal Minds (yes, the makers of JM Rodriguez's On Air!) and Kring Elenzano, my kabaklaan and blogger friend (who also happens to be the Creative Director of Ideal Minds and Flippish.com. Flippish.com is the first Pinoy online video channel that produces original online shows that are of broadcast quality.  The people behind Flippish.com believe that it is about time that we Filipinos take on the challenge of coming up with online entertainment that is of international standards.

Flippish will tickle your funny bone (and sometimes give you a boner? lol); get you up to speed on the latest hotspots and goings-on around and outside the metro (check out their coverage of iBlog5 - when I pretty much hogged all of the running time); stimulate your brain cells with thought-provoking reality shows; and most importantly, entertain you until it becomes an essential part of your daily Internet habit! 

Flippish.com will finalle be officially launched on July 2, 2009 at Fiamma (Jupiter St., Makati). For more information about the launch party (and yeah, the website and its shows), check out http://www.flippish.com

RUN FOR HOME: Globe-Ayala Land City Run

You know how to run, right? If you do, then here is your chance do it and do it with a cause!

Everyone is invited to join the Run For Home: Globe-Ayala Land City Run for Habitat for Humanity.  It is the first ever running event in the country that will feature the use of the disposable electronic timing chips to track running time.

The run is slated on July 19, 2009 (Sunday) at 5:00 AM at the Bonifacio Global City.  There will be 3-kilometer, 5-kilometer, 10-kilometer and 21-kilometer runs. So whoever you are and whatever your running capability is, there is a run just right for you (I'm joining the 3-km run.)! The route cover areas in the Bonifacio Global City to the Makati Central Business District.

Aside from supporting the Habitat for Humanity to benefit the Kapit Bisig Para Sa Ilog Pasig Project, this run is made more interesting by the use of the disposable electronic timing chips:

==Globe brings the disposable electronic timing chips to the Philippines to track the running time of participants to the RUN FOR HOME – a first for a running event in the country. The disposable electronic timing chips are miniature transponders in a specially designed plastic housing. These are used in popular international marathons where the chip is attached to a runner's shoelace and in triathlons where it is placed as an ankle bracelet. ==

To register and find out more about this event, simply visit the Run For Home site at http://ww.globe.com.ph/runforhome  or visit participating Globe Business Centers and Fitness First branches in Metro Manila.
