eslunasco: ano meron sa video editing

makey: most of the textbooks and manuals used in the philippines are fom american

smakey: we do not have our own reference books and studies on editing

makey: that is why it is about time that we have an editing manual that is culturally based in the philippine setting

eslunasco: how do philippine textbooks on video editting make it any different?

makey: the organizational structure and equipment are different here and abroad

eslunasco: ah iba pa ba yun

makey: plus w have the concept of freelance editing

eslunasco: hay buti ka pa ang passionate mo pa jan sa thesis mo haha

eslunasco: so iba ang setting natin at never magiging kapareho ng ibang bansa

makey: hay, sana matranslate ko lahat ng sinabi ko sa iyo sa thesis chapter 1 ko...

the last line is so true. it may be easy telling it casually, but my brain is working hard to make these statements as logically as possible when i put it in text!

go thesis!

me, myself, i

i am not perfect. but i love me. no need to pretend i am someone who i am not.

i am not perfect. but my personality is all tha ti can have.

and for that, i stand by me.

AKO TO! Igalang mo.

i was never good enough to all of you

ican you blame me if i feel that way?
i was never that good to you.

i always lack something.
something that my siblings are the ones who only have.

even if i have given my whole self,

it will never be enough.

for you always look for things that i never was,

never am,

never will be...

siena saturday special

our bc 133 class agreed upon having special classes with sir deo's class at siena college.

well, the day was almost totally okay. sire deo treated us out for lunch; our classmates were nice; the classroom was cozy and conducive to learning.

but i miss you... badly...

saturday dawn

i remember how i walk
to reach paradise

paradise with you

that saturday dawn

with the moon to guide

as i walk in paradise

paradise with you

that saturday dawn

it was never ordinary

it never will be

the things that happened to me

that saturday dawn

for it will always be

that saturday dawn

i'll look back to

that saturday dawn i was with you...

tattoo!!!!

i have always been a part of a conservative family. the thing is, i think liberally. that is why a lot of things have been in conflict, especially when i studied in UP.

I did not change. It's just that i was never given the avenue to express my liberal side at home.

so now that i had the chance, i had my own henna tattoo! my parents so hate the thought of having a tattoo, may it be just temporary.

why hate the tattoos that once marked the heroic deeds of our ancestors? why be ashamed to express how you feel? why live in the ideals that were brought by colonizers that they have concealed as the "true" religion?

don't get me wrong. i believe in God. But not in the so-called institutions that led humans to forget their colorful past through rituals and doctrines.

rock back to school

up broadcasters' guild in partnership with 99.5 rt presented rock back to school, a benefit concert for he cares foundation!

i must admit that it took us a hard time for us to push through with the event amidst a lot of crisis that we have gone through. first, the venue, then the equipment, then the weather, then the finances, then more things that came up with regards to marketing and all.

but thanks to you guys who supported our endeavor, all our efforts weren't left in vain.

dissolve na naman!

nung unang araw ng enrolment, di ko inisip na maeenconter ulit kita. kala ko tinantanan mo na ako. pero hindi, tapos na nga ang enrolment, nakapagbayad na ako at lahat, pero eto ka pa rin!

DISSOLVED!!!!!

Di mo ba alam kung ilang buhay ang sinisira mo? Kung ilang bata ang nadedelay dahil sa iyo? Di dahil sa bobo o bumagsak sila, kundi dahil sa kakulangan ng klase na ibibigay ng unibersidad.

Ngayon, imbis na nag-aaral kami, lalakarin pa namin ang pag-aayos ng change mat namin. Hirap na nga sa enrolment, hirap pa sa pag-aayos ng klase na di naman namin kasalanan kung nawala.

Haaaaaa!!!!!!!!

blog!!!! enlistment special

yeah, i know, it has been a while since i last updated my blog. and it is about time that i d oso before this whole sem eats up my whole life. (well, sige acads and other stuff...)

**********

hay, i went early to finish my enlistment way ahead. dahil dating mode ulit, i have to be in valenzuela by 6:30. kaso mo, as usual, di na naman dumating ang adviser ng maaga.

**********

nakuha ko na naman lahat ng subjects ko online. kaso mo, ang dami kong subjects na kinatakutang madidisolve dahil sa kakulangan ng mga estudante.

sa inis ko dahil muntik nang madissolve ang bc 133 (broadcast journalism) , naibulalas ko lang ang matagal ko nang hinaing sa sistema ng edukasyon sa unibersidad. marami kang matututnan sa mga asignatura, ngunit dahil sa ilang kadahilanan, nawawalan ng pagkakataon ang mga mag-aaral na makuha ang gusto nilang kurso dahil sa oras, o sa kakulangan ng bukas na klaseng mapapasukan.

**********

in all fairness, nakapagbayad ako ng wala pang limang minuto sa bayaran sa as lobby. marahil, late nagising ang mga tao dahil pagdating ko ng alas nuebe, lima lang kaming nakapila para magbayad. o malamang, naputa rin sila kahahanap ng klaseng mapapasukan.

sandali na lang, matatapos na rin ako. alam ko mamimiss ko ang unibersidad, pero sana magbago na ang sistema sa mga susunod na panahon. walang mali sa edukasyon. sa sistema, meron. malaki.

first day high...

dahil unang araw ng klase ngayon, minabuti ko nang magpakadisente at mag leather shoes para naman sa magandang first impression ng guro. lalo na't ang unang guro ko sa araw na ito ay ang performance teacher sa pinoy dream academy na si ma'am malou de guzman.

malay mo, ma-discover ako on the first day of school. wahehehehehehehe.

**********

dumating na rin ang bagong equipment namin sa tv studio. ano pa ba ang hihilingin namin? di na vhs ang recording dahil digital na agad ito (via macintosh and avid). magkakaroon na rin ng webcast ng mga productions (uhm.. good nga ba na makita ang bloopers online?) at ang console namin na super dami ng built in effects pero wala nang buses?!?!?!? panibagong kapaan na naman ito...

**********

grabe, dahil di rin kami nasipot ng second period prof ko, e usapan galore lang kami ni ayeen at ng iba ko pang suerfriends!!!!! hay, next week, iba na ang buhay ko. ibang iba sa kain-tulog-exercise-gala-raket routine ko nung mga nakaraan araw...

sa isawan

minsan, sinasabi ng tao ang hirap maghanap ng taong karapat dapat mahalin.

pero ngayon, ayun lang siya sa may isawan.

nakatitig. naghihintay sa isaw. at sa iyo.

sa isawan.

hay! %$#@*

went to my tito in pasig to get something. then i left at once so i can finish my enlistment process that i left at school.

then i rode this darn tricycle on my way out of the subdivision. told him to drop me off mercury drug edsa central. but he brought me to mercury drug kapitolyo. haaaaayyyy!!!

he told me that well, i can walk naman to reach edsa central from there. so, i then followed the direction he gave me. i kept on walking. and in a while, i sense that i am just making myself more lost.

i just called on a cab and then off i go to edsa...

salamin modus operandi

dati na akong ganito, nangunguha at nanghihiram ng salamin ng iba, isusuot, at pipicturan ang sarili.

***

for this day, ang featured eyewear of the day ay kay parekoi ron. waheheheh. wala namang grado sinusuot pa! buking. (peace tol...)
