tou·ché

i used to love the moon

because of you

it wasn't because of the darkness

it was because of your light

you watched over me

you led me to a place where only the two of us had the keys

now, i hate seeing the moon

because of you

it's not because of the darkness

it's because of your light

i can't feel you watching anymore

and it seems we both lost our keys

but hey, it's still the moon

we're both under the same sky

same stars, same moonlight

apart, but somehow together

you are the moonlight

you will always be my moonlight

as long as the moon is full

and the oceans in sight

.

Pangako mo nung una

Tiwala'y iingatan

Baka naman sa susunod

Na habang buha-ay

Ha-a-ay

At kahit nabago na ng oras

Ang puso ma'y nabutas

Ikaw pa rin

Sa susunod na habang buha-ay

Ha-ay

Ha-a-ay

Ikaw pa rin

Ang pipiliin

Kong mahalin

Sa susunod na habang buha-ay

We are all works of art in progress

The Cinemalaya 2016 entry “Lando at Bugoy” revolves around a father and his son who has a very troubling relationship. Bugoy, a rebellious teenager, struggles to learn and go to school because he is more interested with smoking and hanging out with his friends. When his grades went down and was called to the principal’s office, his father Lando (a high school dropout and a gravestone maker), promises that Bugoy will attend all his classes thus making an agreement with his son that he will finish his studies too. This event made Bugoy hate his father even more.
