it's day two of my stay here in bigfoot and i'm already seriously reassessing my future plans. i was hanging with le academy’s graduating batch (all 8 of them) last night and with the other new students a while ago and deep inside i'm thinking huwaw this is what i want to do, this is something i can do for the rest of my life. and it's not just the craft itself, the atmosphere and the company here are o-some.
meanwhile, this sem was not good. makes me think if i really belong to my course. television production and direction class is supposedly the most stellar class in the dept but it didn't really deliver the goods for me and most of the members of the class. i did discover how much i love to work with sound, which i kind of specialized in the class.
second sem looks bright with advanced tv production/direction, production design and futsal.
okay i don't like whining about things, esp about school stuff pero my scriptwriting prof is crazy i don't know what she's on.
see for our final requirement, she gave us barely two weeks to write a full-length script focused on a love story. deadline's this thursday but i e-mailed mine last sunday before going here to cebu so i can focus on the stuff that’s happening here.
and this morning she replies and tells me that it's unfair that she's assessing my actual finished script, while she's only reviewed my classmates' premises and character descriptions. whutt? she never told us about the procedure of consulting and submitting. and absolutely no words of thanks for submitting early. aand i'm not even consulting. !
then she goes on and tells me that the story reminds her of zaido, that show in the network where she works at.
"the idea of a superhuman soldier/alien policing the world is just too close for comfort. perhaps i'm not so keen on concepts that portend the same plot with programs that are popular at present on TV. two years ago, most of my students' concepts were bordering on fantaserye ala encantadia."
i don't even know what to tell her. has she even read past page one of the script? ‘cause my story sure ain’t just about a “superhuman soldier.” i'm really tempted to not reply and just wait for thursday to come bec the truth is i don't really want to spend (waste) my time on doing things just to please others. i swear i worked it in this class so please please stop being lazy i.e. refusing to lecture and just e-mailing notes to us. nako don't expect me to sign up for your class next sem.
pero hello hello
meanwhile, i am a happy man.
love you iaft!
i’m shooting with a high-def tom!
with a sound studio!

you know that feeling that you get when you're so busy but you're still so hyper and you just don't want to stop. i'm feeling a little sick now, because of the colds but today was a good day. was supposed to hang out with jay-ar after all these YEARS but i ended up going to tagaytay with some good friends from school and from the centers. martin was driving and it was tons of fun 'cause he's from the same highschool and we were laughing about remiter and gureng and how the school prioritizes art and sports (which is so oh yea) over anything else. like, in music class, each student is given one computer of his own to create music how cool is that. ANYway, we went to a children's village which is a nice orphanage with the best facilities heck they even had a basketball court and a pool that there came a point when abet was contemplating out loud whether he'll just quit work with ayala land and just enroll himself there. awesome experience people everything then moved to mendez to eat, loiter, swim, play water polo and catch up with the people staying there. then met up with this guy who made a film at cinemanila then ate with mom and now i'm really sick that i can't travel all the way to kaps. there are so many things to do, like i'm now talking to the baller ID dealer for our student council promo next week and i'm checking on the committees of my org and i'm making sure all the new guys are okay and then there's homework tons of, and i have to produce a cooking show on wednesday and i have nothing NOTHING but transparent bowls and a spatula. and my groupmates in the Rizal class keep on texting, they're so worried that we're reporting tom. we are not and i am ready anyway yabang. people are nice these days, like everything's been runnin smoothly and i'm getting to know the people in the center more and more and it's just wonderful like the story of henry sugar and ten more. we're designing our whitebarcode studio and it's exciting and there's my piece for this week which i've started, and then there are interviews to do, and then a shoot on thursday and another on sunday and then an org excursion on monday but i'm not tired because everything's all right, yes, everything's fine, i don't know where i heard that. autohystoria was pretty wicked. |

Victor: James, we have an apartment in Hong Kong.
James: And … ?
Victor: You want to escape from all this?
James: What do you mean?
Victor: Let’s just go and live there.
James: Are you proposing to me?
Victor: No, loser. Come on, let’s just get away from all the noise and the problems.
James: Um, I kind of need to finish college and then study some more and then teach.
Victor: Um, loser.
Dae: Dreams are like a harmless drug. You get high on life at no cost. Real happiness … real happiness is fleeting. Real happiness hurts. Real happiness makes an ordinary life feel like a greater waste.
James: Eew, you thought of that?
Dae: No, I’m just practicing lines for my play. |
