Monra Fandom

It's been a while since I last posted anything that's related to Ramon Bautisa and I feel today's the right time. I can't be any happier with all the achievements of Sir Ramon lately. His very first published book had been a best-seller, he's into a lot of endorsements and TV projects, he's touring different universities and of course, still an in demand internet action star.

I can still remember the first few days of being his fan. I would always listen to their radio show, The Brewrats. I would join in their talks and would laugh with them and with every brewsters every night.  I would consistently visit his internet love triangle and laugh at all his posts. I would ask him advice about random things. And I will never forget his on-air radio greeting for my 16th birthday and the UPCAT advice I received from him through Tumblr. He even taught me that 'advice' in its plural form is still 'advice'.

He's a lot busier now with all the projects he's been handling plus his duty as a film professor. But he still continue posting stuff on Twitter and Instagram and I think that's better than not making paramdam at all. Hihi.

I just want to congratulate you, Sir Ramon with all your success! I hope you'll be given a bigger break. :)


Bought his books, went to one of his book signing events and watched the movie where he's part of. I wonder what's next. :>

Movie Dates with Friends
written on @ 3:55 PM ✈

It's that time of the year again -- the Cinemalaya season! And as a communication student who supports indie films, I took part in the said film festival. I watched Ekstra. I chose it not because I'm a Vilma Santos fan nor a fan of the other actors who cameoed in the film. I chose it because of its interesting theme and its funny trailer.

I asked my high school classmates, Patty and Eli to come with me since I know they're also interested in it because they too, are communication students. We were supposed to catch the 11 am screening but we found out that it was already sold-out so we just got the 6:30 pm. Since there's still a lot of time to kill, we first played at Time Zone and we also attended our former classmate's birthday. (Happy birthday Mary! :D) It's actually fun catching up with them.

Now, back to the movie, Ekstra. If you would ask me to rate it from 1-10, I'll be giving it an 8. It exceeded my expectations. It was a light film with a comedic genre. It's basically about the life of a bit player and the happenings on an actual set of a shooting/taping. The thing I liked most about it was the humor. Unlike other mainstream comedy films, this one's the bomb. They nailed all the punch lines big time! The jokes that they used were pretty similar to everyday jokes we hear from friends that's why it's so catchy. Vilma Santos played her role as an 'ekstra' so well. She made the audience feel that in the movie, she is a bit player. I was really at awe with her acting skills and I suddenly became an instant fan! Her portrayal was just so effective there's nothing more I can say. Hands down to the whole team who worked hard in putting up such a nice film, which, for once, gave importance to the role of ekstras.










Then yesterday, after school, I watched Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo with my blockmates. It's a typical Star Cinema RomCom feel-good movie. I really liked all the scenes of Ramon Bautista which just takes the 20% of the whole film. I hope Ramon will be given a bigger break. Hihibrr.

A letter to Ramon Bautista
written on Tuesday, November 20, 2012 @ 1:16 PM ✈

Dear Ramon Bautista,

I don’t know how to begin with this love letter. Okay. Let me say I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH first. Hihi. Anyway, I`ve got this story to tell. Last Saturday, I had the best worst day of my life. It was the date of your book signing in NBS Trinoma and I have planned a week prior to that date that I would really go. But a lot of things happened that week which made me doubt if I would really be able to go. “MAYBE NOT.” became one of the choices. During that Friday night, I was sure that I would come. I`ve got everything I need to make it happen. I had planned everything. Unfortunately, things didn’t fall into place the following day. I woke up at about 4 am that Saturday, bothered by a call my mom picked up. My lolo died. My lolo died. MY LOLO DIED. On that very moment, I felt that heavy feeling again but this time, with some peace in my heart. I know he’s now free from pain and suffering. I know he`s safe. I didn’t expect that I would still cry. Despite being prepared that that event would happen, it still hurts to know that some person close to you has to go. So that event made it hard for me to go to your book signing event. I`ve been wanting to see you for like years. Actually, I`ve had some plans before to go to events that you`re part of but sadly, it doesn`t happen. When I was about to leave for Trinoma, my mom changed her mind. She wouldn`t allow me to go. She said we still have to make plans for our trip to Isabela to attend our lolo’s wake and burial. I said that if they wanted to leave that Saturday already then it`s ok for me. I and my brother can come the other day anyway. She didn`t agree. So we had some misunderstanding before I left but in the end she allowed me. My eyes were puffy as I made my way to QC. I only got to realize that when I looked on the mirror in Trinoma. I saw that I wasn`t totally well neither excited to see you cause it’s been hurting me to make decisions; to leave without fixing my issues with my mom; to handle the situation about lolo. Sadness rules in my system that time despite the fact that I would be seeing you. I know that sucks. But I have to go. I need to go.

 So after I bought Bakit Hindi ka Crush ng Crush Mo?, I hurriedly joined the long, long, looooong line which surrounded the outer portion of the National Bookstore. I was number 386. It was energy-draining to line up for almost two hours. But still, it was worth the wait. So while waiting for my book to be signed, I listened to your friends, Tado and Stanley Chi as they do contests. For the first time that day, I laughed. When it was our ‘group’s’ turn (I was the 386th in line), I stared at you the whole time. I know how tired you were that moment and that there`s still a lot of books to be signed. I understood that some of us wouldn’t have the chance to have a photo op with you. But you know, I`ve got some stolen pictures of you while you`re signing my book. And I guess, that’s one of the most precious 5 seconds in my life. 5 seconds that means forever to me. As I went out of the bookstore, I remembered the ‘moments’ I had with you in the past. You greeted me on my 16th birthday on air when BrewRATS was still alive. You answered my question which I sent to your Tumblr account. You gave me and all the other UPCAT takers pieces of advice on how to pass the said test. You even corrected my grammar. You said that I should have used advice instead of advices since its actually in plural form already. And you`ve had also answered my Formspring questions.

You never fail to feed my stomach with butterflies. I hope you can feed it more. Hihibrr. By the way, I`ve already finished reading the book. I enjoyed reading it again. Again, since I have already read some of those on your Formspring. I also enjoyed looking at your seductive and funny photos. To end this letter, let me say it again – I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH SIR RAMON VICTOR BAUTISTA. ♥ 

Yours truly,

Henna Rose Geronimo
