Ramon Bautista - the man who brought your best friend into the map

This is where I pick up where I left off. Ramon Bautista - the internet pop culture who popularized TFFZ (Tales From the Friend Zone). What's this, you asked? 

This is a channel with a series of vlogs, that reaches out to all Filipino youth (and everyone in and outside of feeling youthful) who wishes to push their relationships with their friends on to the next level: BUT fails. An online love advice channel, to be precise.

This "I'm sorry, we're just friends" mishap is a commonly shared endeavor known almost by everyone, but sad to say, at the end of the day, you're just a friend. LOL!

Well, I didn't say this never happened to me. Of course, I myself went through, been through, going through all this "you're just a friend, sorry" ordeal, and this made me who I am now. Failure is success turned inside out - as that popular saying goes. 

Anyways, about the Tales From the Friend Zone, this has been a viral channel in Youtube, maybe not anymore, but it was, one time it was. It has a pilot episode in May 2012. I visited this online show some time before, made me curious about it. My first impression was that its an avenue for broken hearts and dumped people who'd like to share their experiences, and ask for a brotherly advice. It also felt like a documentary film too, which is also fascinating. If you have free time, go browse for it.

Ramon Bautista is not only an internet star, but a comedian as well, here in the Philippine movie industry. I often see him not in the mainstream, but in indies. Yes, his forte: Independent films. He is a comedian, with wits and in your face humor. Here's an actor, with no pretense whatsoever. You can try watching San Lazaro's official movie trailer, produced by Watusi Productions, there should be a full movie somewhere, not that hard to search for.

And as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, He also wrote a book: Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo (Why Your Crush Doesn't Have a Crush on You), a compilation of real life experiences from peeps all over the Philippines. This was later adapted into a  movie screenplay, starring local filipino celebrities.

I suggest give Ramon Bautista some time, spare him a minute or two. I wish I can find some English subs for that San Lazaro movie, though.
