Imelda

    
I finally watched this controversial documentary film about Imelda Marcos, a film by Ramona s. Diaz.

What is it about?, well it's about the complex persona of the former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, and her rise to power, and fall from grace.

I knew nothing about Imelda, as I was too young back then, all I heard is the stories from people who experienced/seen/heard her; plus the articles that I've read over the years.

And this documentary just confirmed what I really thought of her.

It was funny cos I actually got to experience being around her in one of her party, just recently. Although it wasn't as grand as what've the people in the documentary were saying...

A documentary must seen for people, who's interested in the meaning of power, beauty, and everything else ala Imelda.

A Surreal Chinese New Year

Kung Hei Fat Choi! How bizarre that me and my friend Jac should find ourselves attending a Chinese New Year party at Madam Marcos's apartment in Makati last night. Well, it was a predictably eccentric evening... Her place is incredibly gaudy and crowded with art, furniture, ornaments and nostalgia - some obviously very valuable, some tasteful.... and some very tacky.. The rather sumptuous banquet was spread in the foyer. The wine was French and quite acceptable. The crowd was a zoo. Some of the musical offerings were very impressive - a soprano and a pianist. After most guests had eaten, a rather obviously camp priest delivered mass!!! Come to think of it, 'camp' isn't a bad word to describe the whole affair. At midnight she led everyone in blowing horns, turning on their 'flashing ball' necklaces, and singing "Auld Lang Syne"! We left before The Lettermen (60s/70s group?) were due to arrive after their concert... So there, an experience of a...
