Spending time in Alabang now with TJ and Max. Will run to Greenhills in a few to buy Chinese chow from the supermarket.
Film scriptwriting class is driving me and the rest of the class nuts.
There's only one requirement for the entire sem, that's one full-length script. I'm still on the first stage—the storyline part. I've submitted four storylines, and the one that I like best is the last one, a sci-fi thriller about the dark side of being a superhero.
Just got feedback from Prof Reuel a few mins. ago:
James,
Ang paggamit ng superhero at sci-fi ay hindi basta-basta. Nakaangkla ito sa katotohanan ng lipunang ginagalawan natin. Halos tumatayong simbolo o representasyon ang mga ito. At ang sci-fi ay parang isang komentaryo sa kasalukuyang kalagayan.
Ang puntong ito ang aking hinahanap, ang komentaryo sa kasalukuyan.
Lagi, naisasantabi ang puntong ito at nahihirati ang pagkukuwento sa special effects, spectacular scenes, at imahinasyon.
Reuel
I don't even know what “nahihirati” means. :(
One month to write !
Every Friday night, we'd run to the nearest mall, where we'd eat for hours, then go to the movies, then hang out at some person's house to watch the latest corny TV show available. And sometimes we'd escape from a group whatever to eat at cheapo buffet places. It is, truly, chow time na. Hahaha.
The first time I met Greg was freshman year high school, where we were seatmates. During our first Reading test, I “stole” a ¼ sheet of paper from his bag. When he found this out, he confronted me and said, “Hindi ka ba tinuturuan nang mommy mo na magsabi ng please?”
The next day, we became close friends. Haha.
Happy birthday Greggy!
