i wear my sunglasses at night

pax!

:)

isang maulan na tanghali sa inyong lahat :)


and before anything else, sasagutin ko muna ang ating letter sender :)

but im afraid to say, and admit that i don't have all the ansers to your questions :(
be it by design or by coincidence :)

dun sa unang nag-post ng comment, lately ko lang nabisita ulet etong blog so nakapag-assign na ako ng mga roles and gagawin before ko nabasa :) hehe :) coolness :) anyway, thanx for that :)

and sa pangalawa:
yes, malapit na matapos ang sem. and to be honest, nakakalungkot.. this is my 1st time kasi to teach. one of the vocations na matagal ko nang gustong gawin etong teaching :) sabi ko nga sa mga repapips ko.. ang pagtuturo ay kasing level ng pangarap kong maging writer&filmmaker and maging presidente ng pilipinas :)

and eto yung binyag ko sa pagtuturo :) fuckin' kewl!
there were moments of low and there were the highs :) but in general, of course this is a cool experience :)
i will see u soon pa den naman mga repapips at repakols :)

huhuhu :(
waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! :)

ganyan talaga ako, ma-drama :)

anyway,
are artistas picky pipol?
that's what you can call "falacy of hasty generalization". katulad ng notion na "artists' temperament". Obviously, the premise is problematic. Just as it is true that there are temperamental persons, there are temperamental artists :) so, may mga artists talaga na temperamental. pero hindi dahil artists sila. kundi.. dahil temperamental sila as a person. same is true with artista. may mga picky talaga na artista. pero picky sila na tao. hindi lang na artista. just as there are picky na mga taong hindi naman artista :)
so those attitudes, they are not the monopoly or the synonyms of being an artista. i hope u get what i mean :)

generally, i don't like those localized tv series..
parang ang dating sakin.. wala na bang maisip na original? hindi na ba kayang mag-create? ganito na ba kabobo ang mga writers ng pilipinas na wala nang maisip na bago? or ganito na ba ang mga tv executives, na ayaw nang magbigay tsansa sa originals, na magpapakasafe na lang kasi yun ang asikat so gagayahin na lang?
and in translating, yez, mga writers pa rin ang gumagawa nun..
pero kung hate na naming mga tv writers ang nagsusulat kami ng mga kwentong sobrang pinapakialaman ng management, mas lalo na 'tong mga ganitong localized tv series. kasi, hindi na kami mag-iisip ng kwento, yun na yun.. ilo-localized na lang.. di ba, bobofication. and isa ako sa mga maaangas at matataas ang sungay na umaayaw sa mga gano'ng project. but of course, may mga writers tayo sa pilipinas (and i don't blame them because siguro, mas malaki ang pangangailanagn nila ng pera.. may pamilya o kung anuman) nilulunok na alng ang pride. and actually, a number of them, nag-eenjoy na den sa mga ganun..
haayyyy... i rest my case :)

uhmm.. sa item number mo, medyo hindi ko ma-gets yung tanong..
i will answer that after u explain :)

this october 18, saturday.. u will pass the tv series project :)
and sana, sure yung dvd copy na dala nyo para mapanood. kung hindi kayo sigurado, better way is.. after the edit.. you record it back to tape (mini dv tape). that's the surest way :) but i will still need a dvd copy :)

item no 8..
kung may mga salpukan ng ideas habang nasa shoot or nasa edit kayo.. i saY.. just know the role :) let the director direct, let the writers write, let the pm budget your cash, let the EP do his/her judgement call, etc..
:)
of course, napapagusapan ang lahat thru brainstroming, pre-prod, etc.. kung saan anglahat ay nag-she-share ng ideas on things in general. but pagdating sa totoong buhay.. let each members do their respective work, their respective roles :)
coolness?
:)

item no. 9:
as far as the management is concern.. YEZ!

item no. 10..
i will not answer it :) (at least for this post)
but i will.. come the next post :)
at yung iba pang hindi ko nasasagot, next post den :)

anyway,
tungkol sa tv series project nyo..

pm class, naemail ko na si derwin ng script. sorry mga repapips, i need to overhaul it.. kaya ayun :)

am class, wala ako gano binago sa script..

sa dalawang EP (pm and am), continue updating me ng skeds, etc :)
sa lahat, kung may mga tanong kayo ang concerns, ask your EP, they know the answers :)

gandahan nyo ha :)

and i hope u enjoy :)

heniwey, tumambling ako dito sa part na 'to:

"are artistas picky pipol?...
may mga picky talaga na artista. pero picky sila na tao. hindi lang na artista. just as there are picky na mga taong hindi naman artista :)"

a course of drama with a sprinkle of storm and thunder clouds...

I'm plesantly surprised that some of your um....repa(for the lack of an appropriate term and substitution) did plunge and took the time to indulge my curious mind. Anyway, the mundane list goes on...

1. Ever curse a network executive 'coz your idea was shot?

2. Who deserves the most bragging rights - management, writers or artistas? Or was it was a collaborative effort thingy?

3. Which is better - writing as a job or as a hobby?

4. How are we going to be graded in the teleserye? You can squeeze in the criteria...if there's any.

5. What's with the networks and long bataan road of teleserye dramas that end up the same?

6. Is there a scientific method for effective writing?

7. Is there a Writer's Guild in the Phils. that can put a strike one of these days?

8. Do you get royalty rights or any kind? How much?

9. Mainstream TV or cable?

10. Is there such thing as 'globalization of writers'?

for a good measure...

11. If you're wathcing TV, what channel would you like to be on?

Another list to tickle the mind. If you do noticed a misspelling, that means I'm doped way over.

the saccharine and clammy state of things...while overdoped...
wandering eyes, twice overdoped
