Sifting submissions last night—hundreds of them—I kept coming back to what twists me: that split-second where a face melts into another's doubt, or a kitchen clock spins backward mid-laughter. Twists of Change and Wonder, dropping Sunday 8PM ET: 48 shorts chasing transformation's edge—dramas that fracture quietly, comedies veering into the uncanny, sci-fi where wonder isn't spectacle but a shiver down your spine.

I'm programming for the unknown that lingers, like a Wong Kar-wai glance that warps the rain-slick street beneath it—the edit refusing tidy closure, bodies and times folding into questions. Against the formula: those arcs that resolve too neatly, heroes unchanged save for a voiceover epiphany, narratives phoning it in from the multiplex playbook. Life's not that scripted; why should these films be?

No burnout from endless grit or irony here—just raw pivots toward weirdness. They're looping now at https://sundaynightscreenings.com/theater.

This week, with Twists of Change and Wonder, I'm screening for the shiver of transformation—the kind that creeps in like a Chantal Akerman long take, where a face in the mirror suddenly isn't yours anymore. Dramas that fold everyday ache into sci-fi unease, comedies that laugh at the unraveling self, shorts where the unknown isn't a monster but a quiet rewrite of reality. I picked these 48 because they trust the audience to sit with the weird: a body that glitches mid-conversation, a city block that loops like a Linklater before dawn talk.

Against? The static hum of forever-the-same. Those tidy arcs that iron out every wrinkle, superhero slop where change is just a costume swap—no real risk, no lingering what if. I'm against the cynicism that says wonder's for kids, the narratives too scared to let a character become something unknowable. Not here. These films push back—they're for the tilt, the wonder that sticks.

Drop by https://sundaynightscreenings.com/theater; they're looping all week.

Nagpoprogram ako ngayon, pero naisipan ko munang magbreak. Nakain ako ng Sweetcorn na binili ko kanina sa tindahan kasi walang makain sa ref.

Nakakatuwa kasi nagbunga yung self-study ko ng AJAX kagabi.

Seriously, pinahirapan ako nitong AJAX na to. Naiintindihan ko yung majority nung syntax pwera lang sa isang line, na magdamag kong pinag isipan dahil clueless ako kung ano ang ginagawa non at kung saan pinapasa yung value. Pero kanina, nagets ko din. hahaha.

Tuloy tuloy na ako sa progress. Napapalabas ko na ung Region && City na pipiliin ng user bago idisplay yung next data. Isantabi muna si design dahil gusto kong makita na running muna yung functionalities.

Nagpoprogram ako ngayon. sinimulan ko na yung isang system na kailangan pasa sa Internship site ko. Kahit papaano nakaka three modules na ako, and still counting.

Tinanggal ko muna lahat ng games na nakainstall sa pc ko para maiwasan ang anumang delay sa trabaho. (pero syempre, present pa din ang tumblr, facebook etc.) hehe ! Pero at least yung attention ko e hindi ganoon kahati.

I stopped for a while dahil may kailangan ako ausin sa "map" nung system. Pahinga na din, hehe.

Sa totoo lang dapat last week ko pa ginawa ito, pero nagrelax muna ako at nanood ng isang koreanovela. HAHA. At naglaro, syempre. Kaya ito ang resulta, bash and cram. Pero sige, kaya to. hehe !
