nung araw ng sabado at linggo nagsimula kami gumawa ng amateur film bilang initiation sa SPL. Ako ay natutuwa dahil nagkaroon nanaman ako ng pagkakataon na makagawa ng bagay na tunay ko nga namang kinaaliwan. Mahilig talaga kasi ako gumawa ng mga bagay na sa tingin ko ay maaaring makapagpasaya sa tao. (Ngunit alam naman natin na hindi natin mapapasaya ang lahat - We can't please everybody.)
Noong nasa mataas na paaralan pa lamang ako ay sinasabi nila na meron akong angking talino sa pagarte bawasan lamang ang kashongakan ko sa pagkabisado ng aking linya. Naalala ko pa nung panahon na nabubuhay pa si... ummm... yung nanay ni Nikki Coseteng, ay nanood sila ng aming pagtatanghal at nagkaroon ng mga eksana duon na ilang beses ko nakalimutan ang aking linya at sa proseso ay nalito ang aking mga kapwa-manggaganap. Ngunit sa kinalaunan ay napaiyak sila sa aking madamdaming pagkamatay sa dulo. (Hindi ako sigurado kung naiyak sila dahil maganda ang pagtatanghal or dahil sa tuwa at natapos na ang palabas)
Nung pumasok ako sa kolehiyo ay nabigyan ako ng pagkakataon na maging punong tagapamahala ng aming grupo na gagawa dapat ng maliit na pagtatanghal sa classroom. Ngunit dahil sa mapait na alaala na shongak nga ako sa pagkabisado ng linya. Napagnilaynilay ko at sinaad ko sa kanila kung maaring gumawa na lamang kami ng tinatawag na amateur film. At duon nagsimula ang aking unang enkwentro sa larangan ng amateur films.
Naging matagumpay ang aming amatuer film na inentitoluhan na Cielo Girl at sa hindi inaasahan na pagkakataon nagkaroon pa ito ng part 2 (mantakin mo nga naman yan) at naging matagumpay din naman sa aking mababang standards. Nais ko man ipahayag ang buong ditalye dito tungkol sa mga naturang amateur films ay ikinalulungkot ko na baka hindi matuwa ang mga pangunahin tagaganap ng mga nasabing serye sa kadahilanang hindi ko rin maaring isambulat dito. (Pero mind you, they performed mighty well!)
Ayun na nga... napalayo na ako sa aking gusto lamang isaad sa inyo. Kaya muli, duon tayo sa naganap na shooting sa aming bahay na sa kabutihang palad ay marami naman ang nakapunta at nakapagbigay ng kanilang suporta sa pagtulong na mabuo ang isa nanamang amateur film na sana ay tumatak sa buhay ng mga manonood bilang isang obra na talagang binuhasan ng atensyon (kahit medyo kulang sa detalye) at pagod at pagsisikap at ng kapal ng mukha ng mga tagaganap.
Kaya sa mga mahilig gumawa ng amateur films, medyo nauunawaan ko na ang pagod at paghihirap at saya na maari lamang maramadaman ng gumagawa nito (malamang).
Saludo ako sa inyo!

happy birthday basco baby
could find any decent solo photo kaya group photo na lang. Will introduce all of them in due time, pero for this post the center of attraction should be the gentleman in yellow! (applause! applause!) Hulaan nyo na lang kung bakit.
Live Long! Live Strong! Live Faithful! Live Happy!
Side track: This photo was taken at my bestfriend's house Cherry (the lady in pink) and just one to post another photo of my poging inaanak.

oh my gulay ober gastos
sa paglipas pa lamang ng sandaling panahon na aking nakuha ang natatawag na 13th month pay mahigit kalahati na kaagad ang aking nawawaldas, kung saan, hindi ko na maalala... parang kahit gaano pa kabilis dumating ang pera tila mas mabilis pa rin ito mawaldas... pero kung titignan mabuti ang paglikom at pagpuno ng kaban ng kayamanan ng isang tao ay nakasalalay lamang sa indibiduwal na yun, kaya't simula ngayon aking sisikapin na mapanatili ang kalahati ng aking sahod at magipon para sa aking kinabukasan bago ito magsara...

of passport application and graduation
today, a year ago i walked the aisle from being a college student to being a bum. For how many months, i don't remember. Yes! Today marks the first year of being a graduate. A lot of things happened before and after graduation. (which i don't think you want to hear.) And i'm happy that everything when well enough for me. Got myself a pretty good job in SPL, very nice officemates, a really cozy atmosphere and i think i'll fit in for the years to come (with some business on the side of course)
also today marks my very first passport application that took me half a day instead of just 3hrs because i had to go back home to get my student id and my transcript because i don't have any other valid proof of whatever i need to prove. LRT made me stand for more than an hour because of some technical problems that really made my happy feet sore.
Tomorrow I'll do another amateur film for our skit presantation. Hope everything starts and ends well...

quickie update
slept the whole Saturday off. As in woke up around 3pm eat lunner (lunch-dinner) then sleep again around 6pm.
Sunday I was so anxious to go to work because it would be the first time that no one would supervise me... hehehehe
I stil have pending post but can't seem to find the time to finish them. Haba kasi sobra. Maybe I should break them into tidbit posts? Ewan... miss ko na ulit magphotoshoot... Here's a sample photo of what i'd be posting later.

definition of productivity
after several weeks of forcing myself to create a new header for my blog, I've finally made my move.
I like it but I think something's still amiss.
