The Bona Banana Productions Reunion

It's been a year since Tonio/Tonia hit the screens of Ever Gotesco Cinema and it was an exhilarating experience to watch a film I have written, I have directed, and I have played with the help of the PEOPLE who patiently did the same efforts to produce the film. It was a product of pure team work and patience; of friendship and love; and of motivation and endeavor.

We had been through a lot just to produce that film. There had been tons of dramas, fights, cold shoulder treatments, and other things our pressures did to each and everyone of us in the group but we survived. We were able to mend things and I learned a lot from them. I will never forget these people in my entire lifetime.

It's been a year since I have last seen these people in the stage of PICC accepting our diplomas after all the hardships. And now, we all have our own jobs and still not forget the fact that we have been a part of everyone's life. Well, not all members of the group were present but still, we were able to recall and reminisce everything since the conceptualization up to the awards night when we won the greatest award as a crown for all our labors.

Oh! Too much drama! We had a lot of fun! It was me and Lyka first, then Luz, and then we waited for Jozen and Bryan and we were so surprised how Bryan gained TOO MUCH weight. He was a super skinny boy before so it seems like he has an image of a blown up balloon [Peace Bry!] Haha!

Anyway, we're supposed to invite Kuya Aki over but he's busy cooking for a family occasion so we didn't wait for him anymore. Mark, our cinematographer and main editor didn't show up too. We haven't heard anything from him after the graduation and we terribly miss that guy but, well, he doesn't want to keep in touch as well. I just hope he's doing well. Some of them were not present too but I hope they will when we set another meet-up. It was a fun night, though. Despite having a limited time.
