Hodgepodge: Pa-try

Today, I decided to update this blog with things I'm not sure a reader would love to read.


***
I actually enjoyed our recollection last September 16. It was probably the best I ever had so far. The speaker was very persuasive and jolly. He imbued us with a lot of lessons we could apply in our lives. He also restated the "Law of attraction", first introduced to us by our former professor. Even before, I really feel a sort of a mystery behind this. I don't really know what it is but I get goosebumps every time I hear someone discussing it. There could be really something in it. 

***

Last September 19, I would say, was  the worst episode I could ever imagine in our class. Professor shouting, embarrassing one of my classmates, preaching us, giving us a hard quiz, making us stand from our seats and things like that -- It was hell-like actually. We spent about an hour and a half of sermon. One of my classmates mistakenly approached our professor in the corridor, trying to get his permission to be out from his class  for an extra-curricular activity. The professor felt like he was disrespected. The same professor went very mad then the rest was history.

***

Yesterday, was the PART II of the abovementioned story. We had another fierce encounter with the same professor. This time, another classmate stirred the hornet's nest. She went inside the professor's class not wearing her school uniform. Ouch! I just hope that this professor and our class will meet halfway, before the sem ends or before it's too late.

I searched for " SPACE BOUND" lyrics last night. It was the newest song I know from Eminem. What now? Well, I myself don't know. I just like it, despite the traditional Eminem's f/s words (u knw). It deals about space. While Eminem is trying to narrow the space between him and his someone, here I am trying to widen the space between myself and the stress I feel as the final exam approaches like a whirlwind. Anu pa rin connect? Di ko pa din alam. rofl:-p

Chaotic Production

Camera rolling in 5,4,3,2... You're on!

Words signalling the start that made the next fifteen minutes a total chaos.

I'm talking about our first LIVE TV PRODUCTION that served as our midterm exam in BC 102 class. I was designated to be the mixer (I don't really know how to explain this,  but all I could say is that he's the one responsible for the different camera angles you see when you watch TV). It was quite thrilling for all of us since that was the first time we went on a live prod with all the actual equipment in our hands.

I could never forget the pressure, my tantrums and the misunderstandings I had with some of my classmates before that big day. It's good that we were able to handle those problems, probably because we're matured enough (?)

It's also good that we have an understanding professor who did not and does not expect a lot from us, at least in the field of live production. "At first, it's a chaos then as you acquire experiences, the chaotic experience becomes lesser and lesser", he said and I trust him.

"Cut" said the professor and so our midterm exam had ended. We left the AVR, setting our minds for the finals.

Life goes on...

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on...

You sucked me in and played my mind
Just like a toy you would crank and wind
Baby, I would give til you wore it out
You left me lying in a pool of doubt
If you’re still thinkin’ you’re the daddy mac
You should’ve known better but you didn’t and I can’t go back

Oooh, life goes on, and it’s only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can’t go back
Oooh, it’s a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I’m at, is my life before me, got this feeling that I can’t go back

Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on...

Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and sold me out
Baby, shame on you if you fooled me once,
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
You’ve been a pretty hard case to crack
I should’ve known better but I didn’t and I can’t go back

Oooh, life goes on, and it’s only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can’t go back
Oooh, it’s a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I’m at, is my life before me, got this feeling that I can’t go back

Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na made me strong
Got a feeling and I can’t go back
Life goes on (and it’s only gonna make me strong)
Life goes on and on and on

Shame on you if you fooled me once,
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
You’ve been a pretty hard case to crack
I should’ve known better but I didn’t and I can’t go back

Oooh, life goes on, and it’s only gonna make me strong
Its a fact, once you get on board say goodbye cuz you can’t go back
Oooh, it’s a fight, and I really wanna get it right
Where I’m at, is my life before me, got this feeling that I can’t go back

Na na na na na life goes on, na na na na na made me strong
Whoa, yeah
Got a feeling and I can’t go back...  (http://www.lyrics007.com/LeAnn%20Rimes%20Lyrics/Life%20Goes%20On%20Lyrics.html)

Nova

Well, this semester has started firing its bullets to us and although I am expecting this kind of toxic sked as I climb the AB Comm ladder, I still really find it difficult to adjust my slate just to squeeze in the "tons of projects" we need to submit before finals...hay!

Just last week, feeling celebrity daw kami. We did our shooting for the mini-film in our Humanities class. I then realized that being a celebrity is very tedious and at the same time, kakapayat..hahahh. Since this is a class production, tipid mode kami...we just selected locations and sets na hindi masyadong expensive, and because of that, we needed to run like meows and arfs under a heavy rain just to go on with the shooting. palipat-lipat din kami ng location at paikot-ikot pa..kakahilo...then we needed to change clothes depending on what a particular scene would require.

The main scenes were shot in my classmate's apartment. (kakatakot) Well, I felt like the ambiance was perfect for an improvised horror film, I don't know.

"Pack-up na", said one of my classmates. At last! that was the most wonderful word I heard that day. Just when I got home, I took my dinner, bathed myself, then went to sleep. Anyway, I thanked my classmates for being very participative. We  finished shooting  the film in two days...(kahit hollywood di kya yun...lols).

Another page has been turned...more to go...
