I should leave my video camera at home. Video blogging takes too much of my spare time.

I had another Sunken Garden afternoon with some of my friends in UP MCO last Friday.

After my two morning classes, I headed off to the Media Center because Ynna invited me to talk about the tuition increase approval over her and Ely’s program on DZUP.

Right afterwards, I talked briefly to some org representatives regarding upcoming activities for Mass Comm week. Then I headed off to the Batibot to meet my UP MCO orgmates for our pseudo-Amazing Race activity. I was grouped with Bev and Jau. The video clip below isn’t a very long coverage since we were eliminated from the race early on anyway. Hehe. That was rather disappointing.

In the afternoon, while cooling off alone at the UP CAST tambayan, Pet suddenly came in and requested me to act for her Film 114 video exercise. I’m telling you, kami-kami lang talaga nagiging impropmtu crew para sa isa’t isa. [The other picture is from documentary film class the previous day].

Video blogging is such a effort-intensive blogging activity for a one-man production team. I shoot footages, upload, sequence, edit, score/narrate (if ever), and it doesn’t help that I still have a snail-paced internet connection speed. I guess I’m sticking to more frequent photo blogging for now. Hehe.

The fireworks were great. Last night was great. Kahit sobrang nagkakagulo ang mga tao papunta sa at sa Mall of Asia mismo.

Last Thursday, I finally got the video camera I have been ‘needing’ all my college life.

But before I got to that, in the morning I got to go to another part of UP I’ve never been to before, the library of the School of Urban and Regional Planning. I went there to do some research on the Pasig River, which might be our group’s subject for documentary class. Earlier, I got to visit the media services section of the Main Library to do the same thing. I used to go there a few times when I was a freshman. Whenever I’m bored, I’d watch documentaries or read old newspapers on microfilm. Dork.

After my classes, some of my MCO friends tagged along with me to SM North. I was to pick up the video camera my parents bought for me a few weeks ago. Then we tried out some expensive crepes at some fancy shop at The Block. Hm, for people who are often with me, they find me one of the most frugal persons they know. It offends me when people take me to say, Starbucks, and I end up paying for expensive coffee. Needless to say, I don’t think the crepe was worth the price, hehe.

In the afternoon, I attended a UP MCO acquaintance party for applicants in Mass Comm. The activity ended at half past seven in the evening. I then proceeded to Sampaguita Residence Hall for a UP MCO production festival. It’s my first time in Sampa!

Pasensya na sa magulong mukha at sa iilang wrong grammar.
