Muro Ami

Taking a break from finishing a plate for furniture class. Really working hard, considering it’s non-credit. The class keeps me sane from all the mad stories and ideas we have to churn out every single day for the major subjects. Man, the last time I stayed up this late was the day before our big BC report.

Hung out with Victor today, drove around UP, caught up and all after what? two months! Went all the way to Shang for a real nice dinner, where we couldn’t help but recall the good ol’ days. Tear. Oh man. Tama na. Hahaha.

Diving class is awesome, potek sa Anilao ang finals namin!

Kaso sadly, I won’t be able to go to the Fine Arts field trip this weekend to Vigan due to the craziness that is ROTC. Iz cool, RO is really fun, especially with all the kalokohan Chuck teaches me, like how to manipulate an officer to not kill you after coming in late sa training for five hours. Haha. Hi Chuck! Cadet Officers, if by any chance you’re reading this, you know I’m just kidding, right? You know I never cut class. :E (Man, what’s with that smiley?)

Working on new stuff with this year’s batch of Entrepreneurial Management boys in UA&P. Hyperactive group with so much potential. Plus they give me the whole high school vibe which I miss a lot.

If you’re from school, drop by at CHK tomorrow night for some Judo and Karate action. Support me and sina Marty, Art, and Nic!
Thank you beautiful people.

Cravings

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!

Pro-jek

Break time at last. The last time I went out was the week before Bree left for Esta-tes, where with no plans whatsoever we ended up watching The Dawn and Ely Buendia's whatever band. This week I'm finishing my final project for the apprenticeship, my dorky pal Timmy comes to the rescue to play the main man.

Design project's called 4 minutes, which is a compilation of unedited\continuous shots in the life of four different human beings; in this case four spoiled kids whose parents think that the price of a privy school educ equals good conservative angels. Loko lang. Sige na salamat Timmy at Steve at Arthur at Je.
