Watched the first two 90s movies, and I think it's absolutely adorable that April gave Mikey a panda plushie to use as a pillow 🧡🧡

#tmnt #tmnt 1990 #tmnt mikey #my art #the movies are cute and silly!! #an abundance of slapstick and a smattering of melodrama under a totally tubular 90s veneer #bit of a nose turn at the language used towards women but otherwise a good laugh out loud time! #anyways omg the first movie when they showed up at April’s door looking like kicked puppies cuz they just lost their home and their dad 🥺🥺🥺 #and April who just spent time with them and it was fun and really they are just Kids aren’t they #she lets them stay and tries to protect them and AHHHHHHH when I saw the panda plush I squealed just so freaking Adorable #was definitely jarring immediately going into the sequel and realizing her actor changed and Casey wasn’t in it #Keno was precious though!!! pinoy rep let’s freaking GOOOOOOOOOO #also Rahzar and Tokka being Literal Babies???? #hadn’t realized how much inspiration IDW took from this!! #anyways anyways gonna maybe watch the 3rd and 07 later today

“Lately, it seems like Filipinos gravitate towards foreign influences more: our appreciation for our culture has slowly started to fade. So when we heard of the concept of this boy group, we couldn’t help but think it was risky,”

“For Pinoy K-pop fans, they would judge Alamat based on their standards: glossy sets, Korean-style choreography, and even physical appearance like light skin and colored eyes,” Creative Director Jason Paul Laxamana says. “Since Alamat doesn’t follow their formula 100%, many perceive them to be doing it wrong.”

But these risks seem to have paid off, as they’ve built an impressive portfolio of songs that illuminate the Philippines’ illustrious culture.

Ang dami ko na palang sinimulang tula na hindi ko matapos-tapos. Ilang taon na kong parang nakagapos—sa kawalan, sa pagkatigang, sa pagkalito, pagluluksa, pagkatamad, sa pagka-bigo, minsan sa pagkadarang. Wala na yata akong matatapos sa mga sinimulan. Lahat ng nilimbag ay dapat lumabas para malaman. Pero bakit hindi ko sa kanila maibigay ang tangi nilang karapatan? Piitan ko ang aking mga kamay at masalimoot na isipan. Hindi mapakinabangan. Ni hindi ko sila maipangalandakan. Sa dami nang sinimulan ay wala pa ni isa sa kanila ang nakasilay sa kawakasan. Akala ko ba'y maagang napipili ang mga maiinam? Bakit parang di naman. Ang dami ko nang simula, pero bakit parang walang hanggan?

Saklolo.

Alamat "ILY ILY" is beautiful

hi, I'm just gonna write something quick to process my thoughts and analysis bc this MV and the song is so good and dense with message.

For some vague contexts, OFWs or overseas filipino workers, are often heralded as “Bagong Bayani” (trans. the new heroes)  as they bring in millions of pesos every year to help with expenses and living costs back home. As of Nov 8 2022, $1 (US dollar) = roughly Php 58 (Philippine peso). I’m not sure how it’s changed over the years, but in 2010-14, at least for me, Php 50 can buy you an entire lunch meal in school.

ILY ILY is a multi-genre song by Alamat with the melody originally from a Hiligaynon folk lullaby "Ili Ili tulog Anay". I believe the song itself talks a lot about the sacrifices OFW parents make for the financial security and comfort of their children back in the motherland (Philippines). And the subsequent emotional consequences and psychological effects these have on the family. The irony of ILY ILY also doubles as "i love you, i love you" is not lost on me.

Starting off strong! "Ano ba?? Ganyan ka na lang pala!" -very common scolding terms, especially from a older guardian or parental figures.

"Hindi ka ba nag-iisip na may naghihirap doon..." - kind of guilt-tripping the child for crying, being angry, or generally just not feeling happy by bringing up their working parents (likely OFWs) and their sacrifices; generally an unhealthy way of soothing someone's frustrations over neglect or dissatisfaction.

I love how money comes out of the cake. Usually another way to soothe their children, is by bringing in more money, for more comfort. But that doesn't phase Lyca (the female singer).

presents for the children... again, to make up for not being their for their birthday or whatever missed celebrations (especially during formative years of their childhood)

I'm trying to figure out which specific Filipino festival this is refering to. I know a few filo street festivals that reenact the Passion of Christ (ex. Sinulog, Moriones, Salibatbat, etc.) which sometimes includes self-whipping, which the crown, candles, and ropes here are symbolizing.

The lyrics are so on point,

Gabi-gabi at umaga (every night, and every day) Pangungulila ang dama (feeling bereaved, "ulila"="orphan", which is on theme) Hihintayin ang araw na (waiting for the day) Tayo'y magsasama-sama ([where] we all get together)

This is supposed to remind you of the sacrifices people make for love.

^^^Can someone tell me what these are referencing? I feel like this is supposed to be something from a filipino film or something similar, but I'm blanking on where it might be.

I love the direct parallel of the filipino kid having a yaya (maid/ domestic helper) back home while the parent is the housekeeper in a different country. Just *chefs kiss* GENIUS!!🤌🤌

the lyrics shows how much the child/children cares about their parents. in the midst of happiness and abundance around Lyca, she can't help but miss her mom and dad.

Island Maid - from a quick online search, it's a domestic helper agency in Singapore. Upon looking into their website, they hire Filipino workers trained under Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Beside R-Ji is a balikbayan box, large cardbord boxes used to deliver souvenirs, gifts, clothes, furniture, and other things back to the country.

The lyrics now talk about how the child (R-Ji) aspires one day to be the one to work so they can bring their parents back home. (And, in a way, isn't that a tragic cycle of poverty and capitalism? Parents have to work away to bring money and food home, and the child has to work in order to bring their parents back home.)

Very powerful imagery. The waste, the anger, the sadness, the loneliness, while surrounded by presents, money, comfort.

Sacrifices, all in the name of family and love.

I love this part. From what I've gathered, in here, Taneo talks (in Ilokano) to the tone of an eldest sibling, about how he's going to take care [of you] for now. The lyrics shift the emotional burden of parenting to a fellow child, with the parents abroad and likely, unavailable. He throws paper airplanes made of paper money out the window while an airplane (parents?) flies in the back. Lost childhood maybe?

Another strong imagery. Money in a kaldero (used to cook food, usually rice, stew, and other filipino cuisine) while everyone is situated in a Boodle Fight (eating tradition where food is served on top of banana leaves).

"they've been gone too long so I'll be your Dad and Mom for now", again referencing about the physical and emotional unavailability of parents that older siblings or family members have to take on to fill that gap.

"'Nang, 'tang, muli na kayu" (Mom, dad, please go home)

At the emotional crux of the song, the lines said over the "telephone" sound is so poignant. They need their parents to go home. But instead...

...All they got were more Balikbayan boxes.

...and all they can do is fight over who gets them. Empty boxes. empty gifts of love. God, I love this song. Stream ILY ILY.

#crying my heart over a song about OFWs inspired by the tune of a hiligaynon lullaby #talking about the sacrifices that parents make and the lost childhood of filipino children left behind #so many references #i can't even articulate all of them #alamat #ppop #ily ily #filipino music #filipino pop music #pinoy pop #munimuni #Ili Ili tulog Anay #original pinoy music #filipino artists #alamat ily ily #Youtube #alamat ph

To everyone carrying a heavy heart,

You're such a brave person. Kahit na may tinatago kang pain, humaharap ka parin sa mundo para sa mga responsibilidad mo. Sana kahit mahirap, magpatuloy ka at wag mawalan ng pag-asa. Sana i-heal ni Lord kung ano pa man yung sakit na nararamdaman mo. May God bless you.

Or maybe you could’ve said something rather than left me on ‘seen’ so you could break my heart by then I have reason to stop loving you.

to add on to my stupid shitposting and be serious though, I should mention this is the article that made me almost cry today reading it.

#maggie cheung and leslie's acting speaks volumes and almost shapes the story so fluidly so the tribute speaks for itself #explains why almost everything i've ever written is inspired by a good movie/tv show with good acting #and the act of quote and quote acting #it's painful and fascinating and powerful! #anyway...im gonna probably re-watch the classic pinoy four sisters and a wedding for some laughs #f journal #even when i was writing for idol rpf i have had so many ambitious ideas for fic AUs based on movies/tv show #a lot of them im kinda glad i didn't write lol but still

Tonight, I realized na sa sobrang lungkot ko nakakalimutan ko na yung mga blessings na binibigay sakin ni Lord. Masyado kong focus sa negativity, sa sadness, masyado kong nagpapa consume nakalimutan kong maging grateful sa kung anong meron ako. Lord, salamat po sa pagpapaalala.
