But Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, director of Kita Kita (I See You) changes the tradition by making the movie different from others. The movie proves that ``Mabait is the New Pogi``. The story starts with Lea. Lea (Alessandra de Rossi) is a Pinay tour guide living and working in Sapporo, Japan. She had a fiancé named Nobu.

After a few days of being blind, Lea meets a friendly Pinoy neighbor named Tonyo (Empoy Marquez) who wants to be his friends. He comes over to her house every day to cheer her up and starts giving her Filipino cooked foods. She avoided him at first since she is scared to have friends because of her condition, but eventually they became close because Tonyo is a determined guy. Tonyo wanted to travel one time and asked her to be his tour guide as he will be her eyes. They travelled to different places in Japan and formed a beautiful friendship that leads to an unexpected kind of love. Noticing the sadness of Lea maybe because of the heartache and her blindness, Tonyo finished the one thousand paper crane (senbazuru) just to wish that the lost sight of Lea will be back as soon as possible. And surprisingly, Lea`s sight returned, but the saddest part is, Tonyo died because of a car accident right after Lea already can see. Even in a very short time, Lea was able to see Tonyo`s face.

    Bring it On: All or Nothing The film I chose to watch is the third installment of the Bring It On series, which are all mostly unrelated stories loosely held together by the thread of cheerleading as a main plot point. I went with the third movie, released in 2006, because it attempts to have something to say about race, and was actually written by a black woman, though whether it survived rewrites and succeeds or not is to be questioned later. The basic plot is that the lead character, Britney, is the captain of the cheerleading squad at a very white, suburban school called Pacific Vista.
