Damn buyer’s remorse
I slept over at the main set of ES’ and Jerwin’s short film in Cubao Friday night. By Saturday morning, we were shooting at Himlayang Pilipino. Went back to Cubao for lunch and continued shooting till 2 AM Sunday. I had a few stolen naps while I wasn’t needed in a scene, so I survived. Tupe, Joma, AD, Kid and Prech were part of the production team too, so I didn’t feel too out of place. Sagana rin sa pagkain, so that wasn’t a problem. The whole film was shot in 16mm stock. That was really daunting at first because it meant around 7 pesos per second of footage. I was especially apprehensive during the piano scenes, because I really couldn’t play the pieces so I just pretended playing the piano like a pro. Wow, I hope I pulled it off.
I slept almost the entire day Sunday.

Last year, I was invited to run for Film representative. I said the idea is fine with me, but then we realized I was ineligible because I was just a freshman. A few days ago, I was asked if I wanted to run this year. Again, the idea is fine with me. It’d be a responsibility, but I think I’m up for it. I said I just needed to learn more about the party I’m supposed to be running under before totally committing myself.

I’ve been having my moments of delinquency these past few weeks. I cram (as if that’s new), I cut classes, I don’t touch my readings. I don’t know. Call this an offshoot of… something I’d rather not tell. I hope I get over this.
Oh. My cousin (younger) is buried in Himlayan. No wonder you had problems in shooting there. *cough, cough*
I can’t believe you can blog about hoarding responsibility and the next paragraph is about delinquency. Talk about “how promising.”
well… call it an acceptance of weakness.
thanks ulit. galing mo umarte. =P
why “remorse”?
if you don’t mind my being honest, it doesn’t mean that you have a medyo sikat na blog ay you have the right to run as film representative. one thing i hate about CMC is its fanatical devotion to people who have accomplished nothing but snag a fair amount of fame (infamy?), in your case, online. sad, but seeing the likes of you worthless folks fill important positions in CMC makes me feel everything is lost. please do all of us thinking, silent majority in masscomm a big, big favor: for your and our sake, don’t run. we have enough nincompoops as it is, thank you.
TOTOY: you know, i wouldn’t run if i knew that my only claim to fame and my only credentials are based on my ‘popular’ blog. if there’s one thing lamentable with this line of thought, it’s that it leads one to automatically discredit, without further scrutiny, candidates who have say, “artista” or similar claims-to-popularity factors pre-election times. works on the national level too with the ‘thinking class” automatic aversion of electing showbiz personalities like Erap or FPJ. if you think that is how i am packaged, eh di so be it. there’s more than enough time to try and prove otherwise during campaign period.
oh. you know, “nincompoops” wouldnt be holding positions if only you and your majority weren’t so silent. makes me wonder why you complain at something which is an offshoot of your own lack of action. mm… speak up more often. makes for healthier discussions of issues. and with that, you’ll probably finally get the officials you really want and deserve.
