Every year, I spare a little of my time and my money to watch the Metro Manila Film Festival Entries. Of course, I got to choose the best movie that I think is worthy of my time and money. This year, it is that time again.... I gotta watch movies of the Metro Manila Film Festival entries.
I just watched Die Beautiful. I watched it first because I wanted to support gender equality. Die beautiful is a stereotypical story of a gayman who struggles to be accepted and to be loved by his father. A transgender woman by the name of Trisha who was raped by group of men of whom he adores. He was thrown away by his father and neglected to be a father. A son who longed for understanding. As the story progresses, Trisha gained a family and comfort outside of his own house. He persevere to become a better person. He made beauty pageant as her bread and butter. She wanted to become a beauty queen. She struggles in answering questions. In my oppinion, the reason why she struggles to answer question was because she was never supported, loved and cherished by her own family. She lacks guidance and care from her father. Her winning question at the later part of the story was "if you were given the chance to live again what would you choose and why?" A typical question in beauty contest but Trisha's answer: "If I were to die and blessed to live again, I would choose to be me, because I am the only person who can fulfill that I need to do... so I would choose, nobody, nobody, nobody but me!" (Non verbatim)
Trisha delivered the answer beautifully. She did it with full confidence. She was the winner... The beauty queen who died at her coronation day...
We all have our own battles. We sometimes win over our battles but we also have our own losses. It is how we handle our own battles that will make us what we are today.
The story line, the casting and acting was plausable. It was well crafted. As the movie has a tragic end, I was hoping there is acceptance. But sad there was none. The movie is for those who tried so hard to prove they are worthy enough to be loved by their family until their time has expired. Thats a hard fact of reality. There are still people accross the globe who struggles because they are different and maybe thats what the movie wanted to show.
Despite all these... people in the gay community find shelter and understanding from outside of their home. The role of Barbs in the story is a reflection of the second home for the LGBT community. A reflection of people who are always there to be at the side of the LGBTP who are ready to show love, care, understanding and shelter for the shattered gay men and women out there. In everyone's life... there will always be that BARBS who will always be there till they expire.

Today, when folks do not have time for you to do exercise and on account
of machinery support, alert and repair off person is needed, to ensure
each portion of your body works well. From the simple plastic or wooden constructions that children can ride on, to tug or
push toys that toddlers would enjoy to ride on, to
motor-driven riders and miniaturized versions of popular car brands
and makes which can be liked by young children, ride-on toys would continually
be a section of any child's playtime menagerie. According to Ayurveda the
obese persons are more susceptible to the subsequent diseases.
