Writer/Director/Producer

Hahaha. I am those. I wrote the trailer script, produced it, and directed it. Plus, I'm one of the talents for this particular trailer. I feel so accomplished.

I am a Hobbyist

Yep yep. I do have a new hobby. I write screenplays now. You know, I was motivated by my TV scripting class and professor to do this. I mean, duh, I've done it before, enjoy doing it. This I think is actually a fun hobby. Plus, it could be profitable. If I can't sell it to any producers anywhere at school or to any networks, I sure can sell it to people looking for an easy story to submit to their professors. Haha. It's profitable either way. But I'm rooting to sell to major people who can pay more. At least that gives you an idea of how hard I work on it and how good it could get.

Of course, for every screenplay, or a script for that matter, there have to be character sketches first, then a concept synopsis, a tentative outline, a definitive outline, and a few drafts of the script until everything is polished to perfection.

To everyone who thinks this is easy work. Think again. You have no idea how much technical and especially creative work is needed to come up with a script for a 30-minute soap opera episode.

Good Friday

Oh god, forgive me, for I have terribly sinned. It's good Friday and we all went to McDonald's for a midnight snack. I had the biggest meal in my entire life. Burger McDo meal (that's meal number 6, methinks) and 1-piece chicken. That is a lot. Really.

Oh god, forgive me, for I have terribly sinned.

#

Yay, I'm done studying for my Philo 11 exam on Monday. I'm gonna do a bit of review tomorrow and I can say I'm ready for the big hit. It's almost over. It's sooooooo almost over. I can't fricking wait.

First Time

Okay, I guess I'm fine now and I must continue blogging. I just realized I have missed a lot. I thought, when was the last time I did something for the first time? Probably years ago. And I tried something for the first time today. You guess what.

I tried the famous (or maybe not) Rodic's TapSiLog. And C2 bottled tea. It was nice. Nice nice nice. I'll probably buy a box or two of C2 for me to drink every single day. Yay.

And we shot our next music video project (not a school project, though) at school. We were originally planning on doing a Spirits rip-off (You'll Be Safe Here by Rivermaya) but we did Our Lips Are Sealed instead. The camera died on us so we had to go home and finish the shoot here. Oh well, it was such a fun experience. And I think we're showing this to mom and dad's silver anniversary party next month.

Excuse Me

Excuse my French.

I'M NOT BOBO. I'M NOT FUCKING BOBO! PUTANGINA NYONG LAHAT. GIVE ME YOUR IQ TEST RESULTS AND LET'S FUCKING COMPARE!

I think I'm done here.

Yay

Last day of school. School is over! Well, almost. I picked up my cousins tonight for a sleepover at my place. We're shooting a music video tomorrow. And you guess where? School. Yep. I'm rather attached to the school. Have been since the past two months. By that I mean I've been there everyday from morning until dusk. Crap.

Back to MTV shot list making.

Happy Birthday!

You (and MUM, of course) gave me everything I wanted. I wanted material things, you gave me them. I wanted intelligence, you (hopefully intentionally) gave me it. You're all anyone could ask for a dad. Your ideas amaze and amuse me. You are such a fantastic being. And this is your day. A time to enjoy the pleasures of life. Come on, it only comes once in a year.

Happy Birthday to my Dad! It's his 46th birthday today. I hope you're reading this. But I'm still sending you an e-card anyway. :p

Revamped

A lot of people have been asking me what's gotten into me. Okay, just to give you people a background: I maximize the allowed absences in all my classes. I don't submit requirements on time. I don't go to class on time or I don't go at all. I don't do any school-related work outside of school. I rarely do school work. Pasaway ako.

And I have recently transformed into something new. Maybe something better, maybe not. I have become a bibbo kid. I submit requirements earlier than most people do. I organize my schedule for the day. Yes, it is a daily routine for me now. I don't miss classes anymore. I do everything that professors ask me to. Quite surprising for my blocmates (really, this is how it's spelled).

So I have learned a lot in such a short period of time. Two months, to be exact. And I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this major revamp of my attitude towards school. First on the list is my uber intelligent TV scripting and broadcast music professor, Jun Austria. He loves doing things the hard way, or at least, instructing his students so. And I think that's a good thing. You're not gonna learn anything when you do things the easy way, are you? I have learned a lot from him - from coming up with bright ideas to evaluating them if they really are bright to begin with to materializing them. Next up are my uber radical blocmates who have a myriad of things to say on a current political, national, or local issue. They allowed me to take a peek into their own way of perceiving different things and events, and how they do it. Now I can say I have a critical mind, and I use it. That's what's important in my opinion - not having it, but USING it. It's been a tedious term for me, but I can say that this is when I got to learn a lot - and when I say a lot, I really mean a lot.

Actually, I'm planning on still going to school after I get my bachelor's degree. I'm not decided yet if it's gonna be Sydney or Dubai. Both are expensive anyways. What do you think?

SMART 258

Certainly, it was a super fun experience to see everyone's music video. Hahaha. I wish we could do a launch showcasing all the videos. Oh well, there's not much time left. And it would be another intoxicating task to fulfill.

#

Okay, my vacation trip is delayed until the 4th of April. Crap, I thought I could have all the time in the world starting on the 1st. Grrrrrrrr.

#

Just to shed some light on SMART 258: It's not exactly a rip-off of SUN Cellular's 24/7. You can't avail yourself of unlimited call and unlimited text at the same time. Plus this: SMART can only accomodate a certain number of subscribers for a certain period of time. Nice strategy to keep people from congesting the network by calling unimportantly. Go SMART! I find it unfair, though, to have the service open to prepaid subscribers only. WHAT ABOUT US?

Back to studying Philo 11.

MTV Premier

Today's performance class has LAUGH TRIP written all over it. We're gonna see everyone's music video, including mine. We'll see how it works.

Back to frickin' work.

Just To Update You

I'm done with my music video! I finished editing this thing last night. Yay!

#

Got another phone (pre-owned) yesterday. Sony Ericsson P800. It's not that nice, but helps me keep up with my schedule, which is a good thing. I'm so planning on having a P900/P910i LCD installed on it. The factory display is a major bummer. 4096 colors? Not so high-tech, in my opinion.

#

SMART has 25/8. It's own version of Sun Cellular's Call and Text Unlimited. Thank God I'm a SMART subscriber. But isn't this whole promotion thing gonna congest the network again? Oh well, we shall see.

Click here for more information.

MTV

Haha, I'm done with my music video shoot! Now I'm gonna have to edit that at this editing shop in UP Village. I can see my bucks going down the drain. Ack.

Back to work. (screenplay revision, 5-chapter reaction paper, logic review)

Toxic

Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! (freakish psycho tawa)

I'm done with my drama performance! I'm done with my 20-page screenplay too! Hahaha. Should it need revising, it's gonna be a cup of tea. Now I only have a variety show performance, music video shoot, and a baby thesis left (due tomorrow and I've only written 6 pages of it). Hahaha. I never really expected to survive this. Looks like I'm gonna be able to live and tell the tale of academic intoxication.

Back to work.

#

My dad's gonna give me a hard drive as a birthday gift! Yay. I badly need it so I get enough storage for all the videos I'm editing. Speaking of which, I already figured out how to use my ancient (but still working perfectly fine) capture card. Yay! Now I won't have to go to UP Village to edit my productions and pay 50 bucks an hour.

Back to work.

Conyo Bashing/New Layout/Twin Spotted!

So I visited caffeine rush's blog again. It's been my stress reliever since two years ago I think. His entries are really really amusing, at least to me. But most people find him disturbing at the very least.

And what disturbs me more is the exponentially growing number of narrow hopeless creatures crawling the earth. If you read the entries, and I mean really read, it will draw you to a conclusion. The writer is obviously (to people of at least a three-digit IQ) faking it. What he's doing is a mockery of the conyo lifestyle. More like a commentary. He's not anti-mass at all. But the way I see it, with such a great number of people getting really pissed at the entries and the persona the writer is assuming (imagine this, 243 comments on a single post), he's doing a great job. It's so nicely put that people can't see that he's just faking it, that he's parodizing the whole thing.

all those LOSER comments can just like fucking pakamatay na lang noh! You will never hear a true-blue conyo person talk that way. Mockery.

lord knows naman that those jologs and katutubos don't dance. and what's with that cynthia alexander person ba. she sounds so pangit ha. i wish she would just shut up. her and all of her katutubo friends like that girl from pinikpikan. they all make tambol it's so senseless naman. And this. He is commenting on how discrimating SOME conyo people could get at times.

how can i make porma naman to all the freshmen cuties if all i have is a 3310. Here, he is showing that some conyo people are so irritatingly materialistic.

If you didn't see that the first time, it's okay. It took me reading his entries twice to get his message. It's normal. If you've read them twice still have no better understanding of his cause, that's so not normal. You should check if your IQ is below 80. 80 is for the average Joe.

I got a new layout. You like it? I do. It kind of eliminates the feel-good impression that my previous layout had. Although it still gives that clean oh-my-god-this-is-a-yahoo-blog-and-i-think-he's-doing-a-major-copyright-infringement feeling.

#

I found a twin. It felt really weird at first, considering the even less than deficient supply of this baby. Well, it really takes a little getting used to.

Self-redemption

A brat. A rich brat. An English-speaking guy with eternally no comment on what's happening around him. A bastard with no intellectual value, and no sense nationalism/patriotism. A lousy team player. Someone who just takes advantage of the people's taxes to get quality education, and plans to go abroad immediately after graduation. That's who I am. Or at least, that's who most people think I am.

Okay, so I speak English most of the time. So what? Does that make me any less of a person? Does speaking the language I'm better at (than most of you are) make me anti-nationalist? No. You find me different. I find you all the same.

So I drive a car to school. So what? Does that make me anti-social? Does that harm you? Does that make me feel better than anyone else? Do I tell people I'm better than them because I drive a car to school? No. It's all for convenience's sake. You find me different. I find you all the same.

So I usually don't care what's happening around me as long as I am not affected. So what? Does it make me not worthy of being a UP Student? No. Besides, I do know what's happening. I just pretend I don't. I'm not planning on going rallying. I have more important things to do. And I have better plans of reacting to these issues than wearing red and marching from UP to Batasan in the rain. You find me different. I find you all the same.

So I'm a lousy team player. So what? I'm not the boss-me-around-and-it's-so-fine-with-me kind of a person. I'm just not. Call it an attitude problem or whatever. You just can't boss me around if I know I'm better than you (having a better concept of the group project, that is).

So I go to UP even when I can afford other schools. So what? I passed the UPCATs. Period. I am entitled to enrol in the school I want to get education from as everyone else. Does that make me a person who takes advantage of the taxpayers' money? Yes. But doesn't it us all?

So I'm planning on going abroad immediately after graduation. So what? This is my life. No one can force me to do things that I don't want to do.

I shall redeem myself before graduation. I think I've already started the process. I do not work with groups anymore. Instead, I work alone and produce better work than those who work in groups. This is the start of my self-redemption process. And I already have a plan for my thesis, which happens next year. It's a socially relevant research. Just watch out. I'm bagging an award for this on graduation, and I'm telling no one about my topic. I love being the sleeper who surprises everyone out of their wits.

Recovery Weekend

I'm kind of recoving from the stress I've been dealing with since the past MONTH. My sked's a little more loose, I can do some other things that I actually want to do, and my daily to-do list doesn't show total catastrophe as of late. But I still have to do what I posted below.

#

Crush ko si K _ _ _ _. LOL. I just found out we have so much in common. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

#

I wanna drop by HongKong before going to Dubai after the holy week. Can anyone help me with my shopping list?

#

I bought a fountain for 350 bucks. It's noisy and it consumes way too much water. And it's in my room. Just telling. Ü

Semender

I'm busy. I'll be busy until after the holy week. I have one drama script, one drama performance, one variety show performance, one album launching, 30 hours of radio internship, and one research paper left to do. I hate school. But sometimes it's fun learning to do things yourself.
