We made a movie in one of my broadcast subject [yez, i took broadcasting] in 2005. My best friends [who happened to be my classmates] and I teamed up to make this short film. It was our first attempt to create something in honor of the one thing we loved together-movies. Needless to say, the events that transpired between concept-making to film-showing has made everyone appreciate the things movie makers do.
Right. Dedlayn ang title ng pelikula namin at sa umpisa, masarap magimbento ng kwento. When I've released something- creative juices, words or thoughts, I rarely go back to it. Tipong pag nasabi ko na, kakalimutan ko na.
I watched dedlayn minutes ago and I laughed my head off even when it was supposed to be drama. Every detail of that project was recalled in my oxygen-deprived brain and I can't help but feel a bit nostalgic. Sure, I knew the faults of the production and the outcome, but I must say I'm proud of the project.
Riiight.
Kung iisa isahin ko ang technical faults ng movie namin, eh hindi na matatapos tong entry nato. Pero hindi nga yan ang point ko. Laftrip na behind the scenes, horror na production costs [buti na lang mayaman ako, bwahahahaha] at love story na hindi matuloy tuloy on the sides. Charos. Ang saya gumawa ng pelikula pero habang may saya, may aral rin na mapupulot. Hindi ko balak punahin ang movie namin kaya hindi yun ang lessons na ishi-share ko.
From making the short film dedlayn, I learned that...
1. ayoko pala talagang magsimula sa pagpi-PA.
2. I work best in executive functions [pang-events at hindi pang-field ang beauty ko].
3. true friends are those who stick by you even when you've become incredible hulk and beech them around.
4. i have anger issues.
5. hindi madali magtranslate ng concepts into film. sobrang proseso at nakakakurta ng utak.
6. minsan, hindi lahat ng nasa utak mo ay ma-a-achieve into film.
7. video cameras, shooting techniques and the weather can only take you so far. Heart is more important.
8. bawal magka-crush sa mga katrabaho mo dahil nagiging ogre beech ka lang at mawawalan kayo ng future together.
9. may mga taong mukha lang ang puhunan.
10. all you really need to succeed in endeavors is a God bigger than all your troubles who gives you awesomely wonderful friends who add meaning to life.
11. having a camera recording your movements is well, unsettling. but fun.
Eh, yan na lang muna. Matagal ko nang pinakawalan ang pangarap na ma-redeem ang film-making inclinations ko, or what's left of it. Chos. :)

ay nagflashback tuloy yung batch ng bc130 nyo sa akin ngayon.
i must say one of the best and most talented batches.
i especially agree with #s 5, 6, 7 and 10. :-)
LET'S MAKE MORE MOVIES!!! hahahha.. yung dvd ko, hindi ko pa nakukuha.. i want to luagh too
i couldn't agree more with yer insight dearie. nasaan ang movie na ito. tara na't panoorin. :)
Uy, ayos 'to ah. Sang-ayon rin ako sa mga bilang 1 (kasi kayod kabayo pero ang baba ng sweldo. Kunsakaling naging PA ako, wala na akong pambili ng vitamins.xD), 5, 6 (napagtanto ko na hindi lahat ng maganda sa utak e maganda sa camera, hehe. Marami talagang konseptong imahinasyon ang pinakaangkop na bumuhay o kaya ibang media, hindi pelikula), at 9 (Hihi. Marami sa totoong buhay.)
sabi na nga ba mauuna ka magreply eh. :) awwww. it was fun consulting with you and you giving us ideas and a feel of 'level headedness' kahit na sobrang bad trip with est em and stuff. hay nako ma'am tet! i couldn't imagine doing the project without you as the instructor.
nawala ko na yung mga dvd niyo hahaha. kidding, it's somewhere in the jungle that is my room. pag sinipag ako hahanapin ko. hehehe.
naku wag na ate meemai. hehehehe. sige pag may time. :)
grabe ano? pero lam mo, dahil may yabang tayo *ehem* at nawarningan na tayo ni tetet sa pagpi-PA, blessing in the skies pa rin talaga ang current jobs natin ngayon. :)
i wish i could be that level-headed when it comes to my own projects and issues. haha!
you know what i couldn't imagine? surviving the past few years without my students.
as of the moment i feed on the youthful energy and passion drawn from all of you...kung wala kayo baka sumabog na lang ako. :-)
awww. you have enough youth and passion all on your own. we're all too happy to add to it anyhow. *hugs* sana makita at maappreciate ng mga students mo ngayon at magiging students mo pa kung gaano ka namin naappreciate at ni-love. [pero i seriously doubt na may magagawa pa silang mga projects na kasing brilliant ng sa 'min. mwahahaha. makayabang lang. hahaha.] :D
you shouldve just made a movie about me..hehehe
if i had known you then, maybe i would've. :))
awww nakakaiyak...salamat xai...sana nga...sana. then i'll know that my labor is not in vain. :-)
xai? na-miss mo ba si kiko? :)
ikaw ang pinakamalupit na EP, tamayo! thanks for saving our ever 'broke' butts!
at syempre, salamat kay ma'am tetet na sobrang maging karangalang maging instructor, naks!. :) kung puso rin lang ang paguusapan eh wala ng mas kakabog pa sa kanya db! miss you ma'am!
ate ayz, wala na din ako nung dvd eh. pero fave ko talaga yung role mo kasi napaka-natural ng acting eh! para ka lang talagang ni-record! :)
jo, i know what u mean! pano nga naman tayo makakasurvive sa sweldo ng PA di ba, sa hirap ng life ngayon! :)
and xai, this entry gave my monday one kickass kickoff!
love, love you! :)
aaawww ang hilig nyo talaga magpaiyak no? :-)
salamat pie.
this is all so timely because my heart needs some comforting and my ego some boosting right now.
*sigh*
miss ko rin kayo.
anytime, ma'am tetet, anytime! :)
bakit, ano o sino ba ang nagpapasakit sa puso natin? sisilaban na ba namin ni xaris hope?!
nakow, you'll always be a demi-god to us kung ang paguusapan rin lang eh paggawa ng ka-pelikulahan at kung ano pang may kinalaman sa BC! kung sina sir jawo ang bina-bathala namin sa journ, si ma'am tetet naman sa BC. :) smile and shine, ma'am tetet!
naku 'wag naman natin siyang silaban. maliwanag pa ang bukas para sa kanya. hindi lang talaga kami para sa isa't isa. haha! napaparhyme tuloy ako! ;-p
demi-god is such a big word and to be treated as such is an honor.
ang sweet niyong magkakaibigan...di niyo lang alam kung gaano kalaking blessing kayo sa akin ngayong moment na ito.:-)
naku, ang ma'am tetet talaga! now you know na super idol ka namin. :)
kaya nga ang galing at super sweet ni Lord db, alam Niya when to show us ang mga purpose natin sa buhay na di natin nakikita o nagagamit pa. :) see, timing na just when you're feeling low and lonesome bigla na lang kaming sumulpot. ako naman napapaisip lately on how i can have a simple yet a more meaningful existence (dala ng kaburyungan sa office!). then there you are telling us that we were able to give u some much needed comfort & cheer. and that was fulfilling, especially on my part kasi kasalukuyan ko ngang binubulay ang aking life db. haha. whatever!
if this left u so confused, at least medyo na-distract ka from your kaburyungan for at least 3 minutes! :)
miss ko na ang mga dedlayn pips.... and true, mam tet, miss na miss na kita sobra, lalong lalo na ang mga encouraging words mo.... just hold on mam tet, tomorrow will be brighter....
THANK YOU GUYS!
Xai, pasensiya ka na kung nagmukhang site ko eto for a while. :-)
no biggie, mother tet. :) kaw pa. but yeah, amen to all piesee said.
ate! so good to hear from you. :)
sino na nga ulit yun? :))
shine, ma'am tet, shine! :)
yan din ang sabi nila tungkol sa 'min ni piolo pero i never give up. hahahahaha.
if it's God's will, it is God's will.
wish i could be there to hug you. i miss that. :)
awww thanks. hindi siya God's will xai e, and i know that...that's why it hurts even more. :-(
yung nipa-print mo yung picture tapos ni-gupit mo tapos ni-dikit mo sa sa ibabaw ng tulugan mo tapos bigla mo atang nilipat sa may drawer mo.
yun ba yung kiko na yun? :)
ack. :)
kay ian ko ata ginawa yun. HINDI si ian blockmate, of course not.
hahahaha. xD
how juvenile. yahahahaha!
that definite? waaaah! i know how bad that must hurt. :(( pero i know pa rin that our sovereign God has control over these matters and He will be the comfort you need in times like this. Keep your eyes on the Master. :)
