This is your midterm exam part 2. Kung sinumang hindi pa nakakabasa ng part 1.. makikibasa po muna b4 u continue reading this :) ..nasa previous post entitled "congrats to pacman and welcome u2a".
Anyway.. sa mga nakabasa na ng part 1, eto na ang part 2 :)
Undeniably, the biggest news yesterday, and up to this day is Pacquiao's win over Hatton the hitman. Bigger than swine flu or anything else that happened yesterday, may it be in politics, or in entertainment, or whatever..
But as we earlier discussed, if you are not absent or absent-minded during class.. we have different angles to report about the win. Yes, for one.. (1) the win is a win is a win. Other angles can be (2) the pronouncement of Mayweather Sr after the fight, Hatton's trainor, saying that his ward should retire after that loss; (3) who's next for Pacman; (4) the hospitalization of Hatton after the fight; (5) the loss that silenced the British crowd -- probably the loudest boxing crowd; (6) Arum saying that Pacquiao is the greatest of all time -- even better than Muhammad Ali; (7) the unretirement of Mayweather Jr; (8) ang halos walang crime-rate na Pilipinas tuwing may laban si Pacquiao; (9) ang namatay na lalake here in Batangas sa panonood ng laban n Pacman; (10) ang reklamo ng mga manonood sa GMA 7 tungkol sa napakahabang commercial; etc.
Except for item 1, choose an angle to write. And yez, ..write for broadcast, not for print. Sa isa-submit nyo sa Wednesday, midterm exam parts 1 and 2, hard copy, please indicate kung anong anggulo ang pinili nyo.. Or if you think it's too obvious naman, then we're kewl with it :)
This is important:
Don't copy paste from net. Please, don't do it. You might want to read a previous post "TV FRAUD", my bye-bye remarks to U4A. Dun ko kasi ipinaliwanag ang ilang chenes regarding originality. And the harsh consequences that should kung hindi pala orig. I am very particular sa originality pagdating sa mga ganitong chenes. Nasabi ko na den sa inyo na kung nakikita ko man ang estudyante na nagkokopyahan or something to that effect on exams, usually, nangingiti na lang ako.. Kasi malamang ay ganun den ang hitsura ko nung nangongopya den ako way back my school days. But here's the rub.. hindi pa ako nahuhuli.. ever!
Pero pagdating sa project, (yez, not the exam).. pagdating sa application, we should do our own thing.. Pero mas maganda syempre kung walang cheating talaga kahit kelan ..oh-ha! :)
Anyway.. I may have to hurt myself but i will not let you pass this summer class pag nag-cut and paste lang kayo sa net (o sa kaklase hehe :)) ..research sa net o manood ng balita o magbasa ng dyaryo, bahala kayo.. pero in writing na.. use your own words. You know i am sincere saying this.. Hindi dahil may hahaha at hehehe at may smiley ay hindi na ako seryoso. Sincerity is in the heart, not with how i move the lips or this fucking face. It is what is! Oh-ha! :)
Cut! ..direct hehe :)
anyway.. kita kits! :)
Isa lang ang criteria..
Dapat maganda :)
Kita kits! :)

congrats to pacman and welcome u2a :)
Good afternoon class! And congrats to Pacman! Oh-ha!
:)
I hope the summer rain's over. I have this pseudo-science thinking that we are shield to swine flu virus as long it doesn't rain much or the temp goes down. The very reason Philippines never had the serious problem with SARS. December or January may be a wary month for air virus but came the summer in a tropical country, temp rises up and virus (or protozoa or amoeba or whatever cold-fucking-shet-flu-inducer) will be out of the picture! Virus can't live in hot weather. But then again, it is a pseudo-science. I just made it up. But if you think it ain't true, then.. disprove it!
:)
This is also my welcome post to you my U2A students this summer. Actually, I think this is my welcome post to you my dear U2A students, period. We never had the chance to "talk" much here in blogspot last sem. Last year's U4A students, during their stay here in DLSL had a great time "talking" to me here in blogspot. They like the idea that they can talkback to me anonymously in blogspot. Some with their real names but some with their pseudo names posting their comments with regards to class, to me, to arts, and life in general. Things that they are too shy to say while on class and in person. Things that they forgot to ask while I'm around. From important to the trivial or mundane to downright controversial to bullshit. No, this is not to compare you with them. But to say that I am encouraging you to post your comments here. You can check their remarks so as to find for yourself that dimaiologyclass blogspot urges a no holds barred discussion. Ask me questions, write your praises or hate mails, tell me that I am a gift or a shithead-posing-to-be-a-prof-but-not! ..That I am the best thing that happen to La Salle or the worst teacher, most mediocre-uninteresting person! Tell me that our class sucks! Tell me that you like it. Tell me in the shield of your false name if you like. Write anything. Even if your personal concern has no relevance to class in general. But one thing I will ask.. May it be the good or the nega, please be honest..
Rest assured that all your questions will be answered honestly, sincerely, at times boldly and frankly; and always -- passionately. There will be instances that my response will come days after your original post. But don't see it as dwindling interest on my part. I blame it on the sked. I have some projects, some personal (pro bono) and some career-inclined (with t.f.). I have this time management problem that makes all my things-to-do in cram mode. Time does not exist, anyway. It's only in the mind. But yes, deadlines exist. It is a real threat to the relax and beautiful aesthetic creations called mankind.
But then again, you don't have to do it. All those post and comments and reactions. Write if you want. Do not if you don't want to. No harm if done, if not done.
And to continue my musings..
Yez, my senseless pondering..
I really feel that i have to say sorry. I am not in my rhythm last sem. Many saturdays that i honestly feel that it shouldn't be that way. There were lots of things outside DLSL that made me occupied. Yes, others were too important to ignore but many were not. And even the important things shouldn't be a cause for my sub-standard presence.
And thank you for this sem to have you back.
I would like to believe that in the first days of this sem, we were able to discuss many items and still laugh and joke about things that came along the way. Kudos to that, motherfuckers! But then again, if it's only an illusion, please say it. Pwede naman :)
Now, here's the assignment.. I mean the half of your midterm exam. The other half to follow on or before Wednesday.
Choose one.
Idiretso ang kwento.
Make it plotty. And entertaining. Not necessarily comedy. But you know what i mean. Hindi ito maikling kwento but plot.
1.
Naglalakad ang isang lalake. Hapon. "Kulay orange" ang hapon at ang atmosphere, at ang ambiance. Parang may something weird sa hapon na yun. Mapapansin nyang walang ibang tao around. nang biglang mula sa taas (sa langit) ay may babagsak na demonyo. Nagbigti. Hindi lumapat sa lupa ang paa ng demonyo. Nakasabit pa den mula sa taas. Hanggang taas (langit) ang lubid. Ang demonyo'y hindi ang demonyong nakikita sa pelikula na kulay pulang may pangil, buntot at sungay.
2.
Maagang natulog ang mag-amang si Boy Bakat at JM. Nag-double lock muna ng mga pinto, bintana, etc si Boy Bakat bago umakyat ng kwarto at tumabi sa anak. Kinaumagahan, wala sa tabi nya si JM. Pumunta sya sa CR, sa kusina, at sa lahat ng parte ng bahay. Wala si JM. Ilang beses nyang hinanap pero wala si JM. Naka-double lock pa den ang mga pinto, bintana, etc.
3.
Tuwing week-end ay umuuwi si Redenthor Gomez (also known as "Reed") sa Batangas. Sa Manila, sa Buendia Jam Station ay sumakay sya ng bus. Napansin nya na there is something "orange" sa hapon na yun. Sa ambiance and atmosphere. Napansin den nya ang usual na eksena pagsakay pa lang nya ng bus. Mga nagtitinda ng singaling, banana chips, mumurahing burger, mineral water, C2, dyaryo, at iba pa. May nagsasalita den sa gitna tungkol sa salita ng Dyos. Pagkatapos ay manghihingi ng donasyon. Inisip ni Reed, kasabay ng mga nagtitinda ng singaling at mineral water at C2, may nagbebenta den ng salita ng Dyos.
At umabante na nga ang bus. At tulad ng palage nyang nararamdaman sa lahat ng byahe, pagkatapos maningil ang kundoktor ng pamasahe ay makakatulog na sya.
After a while ay magigising sya. Umuulan ng malakas. Gabi na. Wala na ang katabi nya. Bumaba na siguro. Pero mukhang bumaba na den ang iba pang pasahero. Wala nang ibang sakay. Wala na den ang kundoktor at driver. Nakatigil ang bus. Sa gitna ng kalye. Hindi nya ma-recognize kung nasa'n na sya. Mukhang hindi dati dinadaanan ito ng byaheng Manila to Batangas. Kabisado nya ang byahe. Ibang place ito. Sa labas ng bus, sa kalye, walang ibang dumadaang sasakyan. Wala den ibang tao. Tumigil na ang ulan. Bumaba sya ng bus.
4.
Sa labas ng Jollibee sa kanto ng Vito Cruz corner Taft Avenue ay nagyoyosi si Christian Vidallo. May biglang lumapit na babae sa kanya at ngumiti, at parang kinakarkula kung tama bang tao ang nilapitan. At tinanong sya ng babae, "Randy?" Nagandahan si Christian sa babae. Iniisip nyang siguro, may ka-eye-ball ang babae. Randy ang pangalan. Inisip nya, malas lang ni Randy! At sumagot sya.. "Yez!"
Ngumiti ang babae at nag-"hi" at nakipagkamay at nagpakilala, "Christina. Ako yun! ..Kanina ka pa ba?" Sa loob ni Christian, "may ka-eye-eye ball nga". At sya'y nangiti.
May tinext ang babae, "Kumagat. Akala nya talaga may hinahanap akong Randy. Anong next?" At ang reply, "Stick to plan."
Nakangiti pa den si Christian. Iniisip nya, "hindi ba ako nahahalata ng babaeng 'to.."
Submit it on or before Wednesday. Hard copy.
Kita kits tom! :)
mwah hugz!

TV Fraud!
My TV prod students,
as well.. my 2nd sem students,
I am writing this in lieu of the recent developments (and at the same time, under-developments) concerning the things we already know by now but wasn't supposed to happen. The things we almost always value in spite of mainstream practice of ripping-off others' works. Yes, that is -- originality. And you twin that with credibility. I was about to sleep the night before and sleep on the idea that there is an issue that's been bothering us. But my hand and the heart is telling me to do some writing and speak some shit before it fades. It hurts me because the students involve in this brouhaha belong to the class that I love. The class that I am proud of. The first class that i handled in the recent fulfillment of the one-third of my long-time career dream. Yes, one-third. Aside from teaching, the other two are filmmaking and country presidency. But that's another story, or blog post.
But of course, this is not to say that whenever naysayers tell some things, it will be the absolute truth and the only truth. Suffice it to say, let's give everybody the benefit of the doubt. And i also hope that by the time of this posting, everything's under the bridge, everything's settled and solved.
I don't want to dwell much on the things Sir P is undertaking regarding this eventualities. I am sure he is as much or more bothered than i am. And I am sure too that he is doing the right things and decisions to pacify, make sound judgement, and put everything in order. Trust your department head. Some will agree but some of you might not agree on some decisions. But trust Sir P. Don't discount the idea that the wisdom he have is more in
I remember a certain case before we graduated in San Beda. One student was probe and proven that the thesis he submitted was not of his writings. That he only copied it. The student not only was given a failing grade but was kicked-out of school. The school authorities said that it was not only the department that he cheated. It was a direct insult to the whole San Beda institution. That the incident may take as a precedence to other batches and generations the coming school years if taken lightly. Thus, the appropriate action.
Of course, I am not saying that the above case is the same with ours now. Yes, some issue parallelism. But the case at hand is not proven yet. The word "proven" or with the word "yet" will off course, depends on what fence or ground you are standing. Also, the word "guilty" or "not gulity" can vary definitions. There are thousands and thousand inmates that are rotting in jail because our legal system says that they are guilty but they are not. Again, i am not your moral counselor. Far from that.
And to keep it hanging in there..
i will proceed.
Next topic please..
I will continue discussing some other elements regarding the matter, post some articles here, talk to you in person, etc.. when i have a more ample time. Hopefully before you graduate :)
For now, your radio prod final project..
The Singing Green..
Yung mechanics ay isingit somewhere. wag sa huli. not necessarily sa una. kc anti-climactic naman kung sa una, papanget ang ulo. pero walang "abang-factor" kung sa huli na lang ilalagay. baka mas maganda u put it somewhere sa loob :)
Tenga ng Kagandahan..
Sa page 3, XVI (host spiel), after the 2nd paragraph before "to text, just type.."
lagyan ng blahblah teaser. parang ganito.. "kung nalaman ninyo ang kanilang pangalan at nag-iimagine na kayo ngayon kung gano sila kaganda at kung sino ang pinakamaganda, after this commercial break.. Maririnig nyo na sila!"
parang ganung chenes..
very mainstream :) hehe
then yung "to text, just type GANDA.. chenes chenes..", as canned v.o. segment na lang. hindi blahblah ng host. para mas dynamic. para may variation. and yun den yung pwede nyong ilagay from time to time inside the program..
yung XXI (Ganda 1), ..ang ganda ng spiel :)
Rap Show..
Actually, wala ako comment sa inyo :)
Mukhang okay naman..
Magkakaalaman sa final project :)
Pissed Out!..
Thou kayo ang may pinakamaikling na-submit na script.. crisp naman and mukhang okay ang flow. Actually, maganda :)
Para sa lahat ng group, mukha namang we're speaking the same language na regarding sa mga chenes kong mainstream school of thought na pinag-uusapan natin na may halong indie spirit :)
by the way, wala na bang ibang group? eto lang kasi yung nag-submit ng hard copy. baka merong nagsend lang sa email. matagal na akong di nakakapag-check ng email.
anyway, inform me agad kung anuman :)
kita kits!
magandang araw :)
Dun nga pala sa u2b na may napag-usapan kami regarding their group's project.. hindi ko pa den nadedevelop yung chenes. basta this week, magpopost ulet ako.. pero remind me den para di ko makalimutan :) hehe
for now..
bye bye muna..
and as albert einstein said..
"don't worry too much about the future! ..it will come soon enough"

...whoa...a befitting graduating speech or should a say a lovely piece of oration...
anywayz, your piece is really a piece. Thank you for sharing us your experience as related to this incident. No matter what would be the result of this matter is entirely debated and perhaps, it is already out of anyone's hands. As to Sir P, I would not dare judge him, as I always kept in my mind that he has been very generous and understanding to us throughout of these four years.
Let’s just hope that the post won’t deliberately open the still-fresh wound yet. As for prisons, some of us are prisons of our making, yes?
Thank you for giving us importance and a considerable part on your experience as a teacher. Hell, I didn’t what was coming when we first met you. But I guess everything goes well with time, as they say.
As this may be my final post in response to your final post, I guess you will give the liberty to make myself still fairly unknown (as I really would prefer to be not known). I don’t why but it made me feel excited as if we’re playing a hide-seek game. It was quite thrilling, even though so I recalled I time that you quite frustrated with me. Guess I kinda overstepped my bounds.
I’m sorry if I bothered you with seemingly endless quack questions. In a sense it was kinda of your fault, you gave us the medium (this blogspot) and maybe I did abuse it to certain intent. Though I never intended to deliberately spur your attention to what we should be discussing, it was fun learning this by you responding to questions.
Lastly, Einstein did not need to worry about the future – he was a genius. It’s hardly relative if you’re leading a monotonous life without something to shock you on the way.

by the way, wala na bang ibang group? eto lang kasi yung nag-submit ng hard copy. baka merong nagsend lang sa email. matagal na akong di nakakapag-check ng email.
anyway, inform me agad kung anuman :)
kita kits!
magandang araw :)
Dun nga pala sa u2b na may napag-usapan kami regarding their group's project.. hindi ko pa den nadedevelop yung chenes. basta this week, magpopost ulet ako.. pero remind me den para di ko makalimutan :) hehe
for now..
bye bye muna..
and as albert einstein said..
"don't worry too much about the future! ..it will come soon enough"

...whoa...a befitting graduating speech or should a say a lovely piece of oration...
anywayz, your piece is really a piece. Thank you for sharing us your experience as related to this incident. No matter what would be the result of this matter is entirely debated and perhaps, it is already out of anyone's hands. As to Sir P, I would not dare judge him, as I always kept in my mind that he has been very generous and understanding to us throughout of these four years.
Let’s just hope that the post won’t deliberately open the still-fresh wound yet. As for prisons, some of us are prisons of our making, yes?
Thank you for giving us importance and a considerable part on your experience as a teacher. Hell, I didn’t what was coming when we first met you. But I guess everything goes well with time, as they say.
As this may be my final post in response to your final post, I guess you will give the liberty to make myself still fairly unknown (as I really would prefer to be not known). I don’t why but it made me feel excited as if we’re playing a hide-seek game. It was quite thrilling, even though so I recalled I time that you quite frustrated with me. Guess I kinda overstepped my bounds.
I’m sorry if I bothered you with seemingly endless quack questions. In a sense it was kinda of your fault, you gave us the medium (this blogspot) and maybe I did abuse it to certain intent. Though I never intended to deliberately spur your attention to what we should be discussing, it was fun learning this by you responding to questions.
Lastly, Einstein did not need to worry about the future – he was a genius. It’s hardly relative if you’re leading a monotonous life without something to shock you on the way.

guess what..
nabasa ko na naman 'to dati.. etong reply mo, pero i have a different reaction today (june 20, 2009) reading it. believe me, im crying now. siguro nami-miss ko lang kayo. you're the 1st class that i handled, not only in DLSL.. but the first class na tinuruan ko, period. it was fun while we were at it. some things bother us, some went kewl, some went rocky, many times happy that we were laughing our heart (and our lungs) out :) ..and looking back, it was an experience (not a work experience i am saying.. but life experience) that i will always smile about and remember. uhmm.. malamang naman walang makakabasa nito, malamang hindi nyo na den 'to mababasa.. pero just the same, i want to say these things.. and siguro, at the back of my mind.. nagbabakasakali na malay nyo, may makabasa pa den sa inyo..
whew! ..what the fuck this morning is all about?! fucking dima-drama :)
i hope to see u soon ulet mga repapips at repakols kong u4a :) i hope that you're in your respective careers now (career not job), working your ass :)
c u soon! even if the word "soon" means 3 years or 10 years or 50 years.. kung anuman ang possible, kung anuman ang sinasabi ng cosmos..
c u soon!

hapi 2009 :)
It's almost half the sem and ngayon lang ako nag-post. I am very sorry my 2nd year students for the schedule of your dirty-looking-bigotilyo-professor is swelling like a bushwhacked tornado. But rest assured that enthusiasm is not affected :)
Allow me first to greet you happy new year ü ..and welcome to dimaiology class:)
Not that it is the center of the universe or some illusion but just is, as is, per se.
And before i forget,i will explain here things that i discussed but maybe you were absent the saturday i said this shit. Your midterm exam (i mean,project,come january 17,saturday) will be a 10 minuter news program. Total running time is an estimate. It is not an strict rule. But make it beautifully phased. And yes,like a true newscast:)
Groupings were done prior to this post so ask your classmates regarding this if you happened to be absent that time.
But before the 17 is january 10. You will submit your money shots. Same day that we will be having editing crash course. For the details of the money shots project,ask your groupmates or classmates.
u4a,
happy new year ü
a warm christmas from your bad-influenz-teacher ü hehe ü
come the 15th,you will be submitting group's report for mediman. And please don't absent yourself the 1st tuesday class of 2009. We will be discussing your midterm radio prod project. As you've experienced,some mechanics are ought to be lost in translation ü you gotcha wat i mean?
hey,im just warming up (again). Thus,the short post. And suffice it to say,that like last sem,this blogspot will be flooded again come the momentum with my almost nön-sense musings,pseudo-academic discussions and some whimsical bigotry. Haha ü ..whatever that means ü
and as i was always telling the previous posts 'pag sa assignment(s): please do your classmates a favor. Tell them wat i said here or tell them to read this post.
And please comment here if you want to ü
buon natale e felice anno nuovo! Ü

36 hours, no sunset!
dapat ay "school of thought" ang title ng blogspot na 'to but because of recent development ..na nakakaloka!
, ang title na ay "36 hours, no sunset!"
yes!
yes!
oh-my-god!
as in oh-my-god!
check it on CNN!
october 17, friday morning.. sun will rise
but there will be no friday night.
lulubog ang araw sa sunod pang araw, sabado ng -- 9 or 10 pm!
mag-ti-tilt ang earth. so 36 hours na walang gabi!
nangyayari ito every 2,400 years.
and this friday, oct 7 to oct 8 is the day..
my god!
amazing!
anyway.. going back to school of thought:
--------------
school of thought
"there are quite a number of things thought in school that one has to unlearn."
-ambeth ocampo, book author, historian, inquirer columnist
it has been days now that i'm writing and preparing for this last post (at least for this sem, and specifically for this class). but i was able to wrote only introductions. yet melodramatic, but the truth is i can not find the right words to say my true emotions saying bye-bye to you. i am happy that i've met you mga repapips and repakols at kayo ang una kong naging mga estudyante. and now, nalulungkot ako kasi tapos na ang sem :(
oh di ba, ang melodrama :)
let me start by saying na after all that has been said and discussed.. pagkatapos ng mga keme kemeng formula at mga ganito at ganyan sa kung papano ang paggawa at pag-create ng ganito ganyan, papano ang chever sa camera, sa edit, at kung anu-ano pa..
isa lang plage ang bottomline..
u break the rules!
fuck the norms!
fight the worms!
(whatever that means)
one of u asked in the earlier post, "is there a scientific scientific method for effective writing?"
first, writing is not a science. so u can't have it that way :)
many books and many articles say something about how to write and how to be creative and some other how to's but of course, u can see that unlike skills, hindi naituturo ang talent. ang mga librong katulad ng "trip to quiapo", etc.. ay nagpapakita at naglalahad ng mga examples at karanasan ng pagsusulat pero aminadong hindi sapat ang manual na yun para makapagturo ng pagsusulat or ng pagiging creative in general.
ang pagsusulat and/or ang pagiging creative (kung anumang discipline) ay nakukuha sa loob ng ilang taong pagbabasa ng kung anu-ano, panonood, pagiging observant sa buhay, etc.
it's a way of life. it is passion. it is love. it is not a work, it is a vocation.
and i am not saying i have that. maybe, for some, they can appreciate what i have, they can appreciate what im saying or what im writing. but for for some, im just saying bullshit. ganun talaga, may iba't iba tayong appreciation ng beauty. and that what makes it cool :)
and talking about work and vocation, isa den sa tanong ng isa sa inyo sa blogspot is:
"which is better - writing as job or as a hobby?"
that is always my problem. and i think will always be :)
hindi talaga ako writer as an employee. the way it should be. at least, in writing for abscbn. syempre, yun ang nagpapasweldo, dapat kung ano ang gusto nila, yun ang isusulat. pera nila yun e. hired ka para gawin kung ano gusto nila. pero yun na naman.. the emotional me..
i always act and think of myself as the writer artist rather than the writer employee. pero kung mananatili akong ganun, masasaktan at masasaktan ako plage sa mga concept na binabago dahil kelangang gawing mas bakya, kelangang gawing mas naiintindihan ni aling bebang, etc.
una kong segment sa wazzup, naiyak ako nang makita ko on-air. ibang iba yung ginawa ko sa nag-air. inaway ko yung kumatay ng segment ko. isa sa mga bossing ko. and kung nabasa nyo na yung reply ni squid villanueva sa post na 'to.. hindi pa nya nagagawang mang-away ng bossing dahil nabaril ang concept..
well, ako, madalas :)
haha :)
hindi dahil sa nadisapproved ang concept or ang idea ko. okay lang yun kung ganun. alam mo, kung mahal mo ang show, walang problema kung mabaril ang idea mo kung alam mo naman na tama nga sya. like sa wazzup, nirerespeto namin ang headwriter namin. so kahit may mga ideas ako at sinabi nya na hindi pwede yun, okay lang. ganun talaga, susundin ko sya. kasi may respect. pero yung last na e.p. namin sa wazzup, halos lahat kami walang respeto dun. kasi bopols. kaya lang napunta sa pwesto kasi malakas sa taas. andami daming beses na napapahamak ang show dahil sa mga desisyon nya. so dumating ang time wala na kaming pakelam kung anumang sabihin nya. basta, kami kami na lang ang nagkakasundo kung ano ang dapat sa show, kung ano ang dapat mag-air. syempre, upon seeing it on-air, galit na galit ang e.p.
pero bahala sya sa buhay nya. kapag inaaway kami, aawayin din namin.
ngayon, wala na sya sa abscbn. siguro, nakita den nya na hindi sya para sa ganitong work. before sya umalis, may dalawang show na halos sabay nag-off-air. sya pareho ang e.p.
let's go and wazzup wazzup.
so ayun :)
anyway..
yung iba namang tanong, nasagot na nung ilan kong repapips na nagreply. more or less, ganun den naman ang sagot ko :)
remind ko lang ulet, wag na wag kayo aabsent dz saturday. clue: magdala ng ballpen at paper(s).
and again, do your classmates a favor.. either u tell them to read this post or at least u tell them what im telling here :)
as i've said, u don't have to study. kung alam nyo ang kwento ng group nyo, alam nyo kung anong nangyari sa pre-prod, sa shoot, at sa iba pang mga bagay bagay.. yun yun :)
kung wala kayo idea kung ano nangyari.. nakoh.. baka wala kayo maisagot :(
and to continue..
gusto ko lang balikan ang ilang mga pangyayaring i shall call, "exemplary". it takes some balls, determination, and heart doing it.
1.
nasabi ko na to dati pero sasabihin ko ulet :)
it was your docu for midterm, the night before that saturday and yung saturday mismo, before pm class, macko was texting some things concerning failed attempts on some techinal chenes on edit. but came the time to pass, kahit may konting discrepancy, he passed it. and i say it again, that's the spirit!
syempre, okay that's not to discount yung group nina jaeda na days before that ay nauna nang nakatapos, at nung iba pa na maayos at maagap na nakatapos. yun ang ideal!
pero pag dumating sa inyo ang time (at least kung nasa T prod kayo sa totoong buhay) na nangarag kayo, na nakakaloka ang time-pressure dahil sa mga di maiiwasang bagay, don't forget - u should air it. that's the practice. may mga pagkakataong ang Nginig ay nagsho-shoot pa ng umaga and gabi, kelangan nang mag-air. ngarag sa edit. pero walang valid reason para hindi mag-air yun come the airing time.
lalo na kung mapupunta kayo sa news. syempre, hindi naman pwedeng gawin in advance ang news :)
daily yun..
so araw araw na ganun..
pag hindi nag-air yun ng same day, huli na, mauunahan na ng kabilang channel. or hindi na airable ang news kinabukasan dahil may new update na, panis na. makikita nyo ang ibig kong sabihin :)
at without demeaning what happened sa ibang di pumasok kahit may assigned report, wag nyo na ulet gagawin yun :)
sa totoong buhay, nakoh.. sabon kayo.. and hindi na kayo malilimutan (negatively) ng mga bossing nyo.
whatever the reason, uulitin ko.. walang valid reason sa mga ganun.
2.
steve, ayus ka!
ang galing ng rhythm sa paggagawa ng program. yung news na kasama si steve, yung kina cheche.. chika news alert 'ata yun.. solved sa rhythm! walang laylay. pasok na pasok sa mainstream entertainment ang tempo. ganun den yung fake commercials na docu..
of course, like i said before, technically, mukhang may kulang sa editing facilities mo.
pero without that problem, ayus na! :)
sana i can see u soon as AP or SP.
kaya may mga programa (GMA man or ABS-CBN) or segment na andaming laylay kasi yung nagma-master (AP or SP), walang alam sa rhythm. hindi alam kung kelan magpuputol, hindi alam kung kelan mag-slow mo, etc..
3.
i talked to ekah about this. and i told her that i was hurt. u said, "baket yung ibang nag TV prod den dati, hindi naman ganito. nagmumukhang scriptwriting class tayo".
kahit kelan kasi, hindi ko kayo ikinompara negatively sa iba. because i understand and i know na may iba't iba naman tayong backstory and appreciation on things. and to compare me with other professors having different module albeit the same subject is wounding. i don't know kung nakikita nyo ang effort and passion ko.. but i was and i am doing more than what i should do as a professor. nakikita nyo ba yun? naaapreciate nyo ba yun? na kelangan ko lang ay magturo. that's it. but i always consider kung mag-eenjoy ba kayo, kung relevant ba yung nasa books, kung updated ba, kung gusto nyo ba or kelangan nyong malaman yun, etc. Sabi nga ng iba kong repa, baket ka pa sumasama sa shoot? baket ka pa namomroblema kung nakuha na ba nila ang tamang software sa pageedit or pagko-convert? baket mo binibigyan ng ganitong raw mats? baket mo kinokontak si ganitong personality for them, etc? etc..
hindi ba dapat hihintayin mo na lang ang pagsa-submit nila.. na kung wala, e di wala.. walang grade.
Pwede naman yun!
Pero i don't want that.
I am and will always be the emotional person that is subjective and involve in whatever that i will do. Or else, hindi ko na lang pinasok kung ayaw ko.Kung hindi ako mag-eenjoy gawin.
The very reason kung baket hanggang ngayon, iniiyakan ko pa den ang mga segments ko sa A.B.S. kapag nababalahura.
because i love this thing. hindi ko kino-consider na work to. passion 'to, mga repapips :)
and again, im sori.. u might say na i'm too much of myself na naman.
again, u have all the right to say ur disagreement(s) :)
like i've said before, matagal ko nang gustong magturo. kasing level 'to ng pangarap kong maging filmmaker and maging presidente ng pilipinas :)
hehe :)
nung tanghaling yun, after that, kaya ako nagpa-15mins na break, kasi naiiyak na ako inside me. and i don't want u to see me cry in front. that will be fuckin' uncool and moronic.
but why has is struck me? u know what, maybe because it is true.
kung walang kwenta yung sinabi, e di palalagpasin na lang. pero it struck me kasi baka nga nagiging scriptwriting class na lang tayo. baka nga sa vision ko lang maganda. yun pala hindi na yun ang katotohanan. hindi naman imposible yun.
narinig nyo na 'to, sa iba, madaming beses na.. and naaappreciate ko ngayon. na hindi lang ang estudyante ang natututo upon entering the classroom. ganun den ang teacher. i can not know what's on your mind when ur not talking.
naalala ko, after graduating, nag-direct ako ng isang play dati sa sanbeda. ilang beses ko nang nabanggit yung salitang "riddance" kasi ang gagamitin naming music ay good riddance ng green day. ang pronounce ko ay "raydans". after ilang meetings and practice, isa sa mga actor ang hindi na nakatiis, "sir, ridans" (ang tamang pronunciation).
fuckin kewl!
kung hindi nya nasabi yun, baka hanggang ngayon, mali pa den pagbigkas ko ng riddance :)
trivial lang naman yun. pero it means a lot to me.
kaya naloloka ako sa mga teacher namin dati (or mga bossing ngayon) na nagagalit pag itinatama sila.
syempre, hindi maiiwasan yung initial reaction. na baka sa una, magalit or masaktan or ma-shock or hindi matanggap. pero di ba, dapat, upon realizing things, kung valid naman ang point.. why not di ba :) the first step to responsibility is disobedience!
wala namang monopolyo ng truth e.
para den yang beauty. may kanya kanya tayong appreciation :)
ang meron lang is collective memory.
anyway..
so ayun,
that was another exemplary moment. have balls to say ur piece. that's the angas factor :)
4.
hindi ko na sana ilalagay to kasi pinsan ko si kokay. and it may appear bias. pero hindi ko pa man estudyante si kokay, kahit nung batang bata pa sya, nag-uusap na kami ng tungkol sa anime, literature, art films, etc..
and i am very pleased nang makita ko ang writings and other creative efforts nya sa klase. i can't even write at that level nung nasa college pa ako. nagsusulat na ako sa school paper nung high school pa lang pero pag binabasa ko ngayon, konti na lang yung mga sinulat kong nagugustuhan ko pa den hanggang ngayon :)
kudos to that! :)
5.
hindi ko alam kung sasang-ayon kayong lahat or hindi.. pero i think cheche is a good leader.
may sense of responsibility and judgement call.
syempre, base ko to sa aking mga nakita at ibang nadinig. hindi ko naman malalaman ang mga hindi ko nakita at hindi ko nadinig :) wala naman akong super power :)
anyway, no further explanation :)
basta, sa tingin ko, ganun :)
6.
c.y. and hector,
kayo ang embodiment ng gusto kong mangyari sa mga susunod ko pang mga magiging estudyante.
u can tell me without hesitation "fuck you" and other shitty shitty bang bang other students can't tell.
of course, para sa mga conservative, im not saying na saying "fuck you" to anyone is a good thing to do.
look at the bigger picture. one of my ideologies (again, im not saying that this is the absolute truth! na eto ang standards. ako lang 'to. gusto ko lang sabihin na eto yung appreciation ko) kasi is..
dapat walang walls.
the bohemian ideology of truth,
beauty,
love, etc.
pipol of the world should know no color, no race, no time, no age, no titles, no gender, etc.
kung mali ka,
mali ka hindi dahil pilipino ka, or hindi dahil negro ka or mangyan ka, or bata ka, or babae ka,
or dahil empleyado ka lang, or kung anumang categories.. mali ka.. dahil mali ka.. that's it.
kung sakaling may ka-badtripan ako sa inyo, mababadtrip ako sa inyo because of the reason kung anuman yun na nakaka-bad trip. hindi dahil sa estudyante ka at ako ang teacher nyo. kaya yung reaction ko kung magagalit ako o matutuwa o maghihingi ng sorry sa bata man o sa magulang o sa pulis o sa boss ko,
pare-pareho lang yun.
ano ba yan, andami kong chika..
wala namang kwenta :) haha
7.
salamat sa mga nag-comment sa blogspot :)
sana yung susunod kong mga estudyante, mas madaming masipag mag-post sa blogspot kesa sa inyo :) haha :)
8.
jaeda, u have the structural know how on some things. okay yun. but after knowing that, u break free :)
LASTLY PALA..
yung a.m. class, minsan lang sila nag-shoot ng sat kaya mas napuntahan ko ng mas mahabang oras ang pm class..
anyway, eto yung sasabihin ko..
nagpunta ako sa mga shoot nyo.. not to remind you of technical skills and talent. konti, ganun. para makita ko kung pano kayo nagto-trouble shoot, pano nagpre-prepare, pano ang d.o.p, etc.
pero i was there to remind you na dapat masaya ang shoot. na eto ang pinili nyong course, i assume na eto den ang gusto nyo after u graduate. may ilan kasing instances na may nakikita ako at actually, tinatanong ko, and sinasabing.. nangangarag na.. and it was showing in the face.. sa galaw, etc..
na may nababadtrip kay ganito, kay ganyan..
na may mga times na bumibigat ang atmosphere..
kung hindi kayo nag-enjoy sa ginawa
nyo..
im afraid to say..
baka hindi ang ganitong direksyon ang para sa inyo. na subject pa lang 'to,
na isang requirement pa lang to sa pag-aaral,
na hindi ko naman kayo
nginangarag.. papano pa kung ang kasama nyo na ay ang mga demonyong kasama namin araw araw.
syempre, napakadami den naman ng mga bossing na okay. na masarap ka-trabaho. pero syempre, hindi mawawala ang mga mabigat ka-trabaho. may mga cameraman na mahirap pakisamahan, AP na palage ka nginangarag kahit hindi naman dapat.. etc.
ano ang reaction nyo dun? pass the ngarag? na bad trip na den kayo? etc..
okay naman yun..
focus sa trabaho. f
ocus sa ginagawa.
but don't forget to enjoy. at hindi makakatulong ang pangangarag.
hindi makakatulong sa set ang mabigat na mood. andaming maaapektuhan.
sayang ang creativity. and hindi naman ibig sabihin na masaya, hindi na focus sa ginagawa e.
but to offset that..
bilisan nyong mag-shoot!
:)
napansin ko lang,
may mga pagkakataong mukhang napapatagal ang hintay factor :)
and yung preparation, parang antagal :)
minsan,
yung susunod na eksena, antagal pinaguusapan.. ano ba yun :)
work on it :)
kaya kayo nagpre-prod para mabilis na sa shoot..
minsan kasi,
hindi nyo kakampi ang weather,
ang may-ari ng bahay naiinip,
at iba pang mga external factors :)
AND ISA PANG LASTLY.. the 1st saturday of our class,
i said, "wala
man kayo matutunan this sem,
isa lang ang promise ko, mag-eenjoy kayo". sana
natupad ko yun :) sabi ko
lastly na pero andami ko pa sinabi ano :)
oh-ha! hehe :) the
variations of my silly monologues..
elaborate yet useless :) hehe :) any-
way,
ito ang 1st part ng
test nyo nyo this saturday:
how's the project? what was
your part sa ginawa nyong TV series pilot episode?
Or, ano ang (mga) ginawa mo? For
ur group, ano ang mga naitulong mo? May mga na-
encounter bang problems ang group?
Kung meron, pano sinolusyunan?
Any learning(s) after doing the project? And what is your
honest assessment sa nagawa nyong TV series pilot?
do ur classmates a favor.
either u tell them to read
this post or tell them kung anong sinabi ko dito :)
pwede nyo na 'tong sagutan ngayon, pero sa saturday nyo pa dadalhin (hard copy).
other parts to answer to follow come classtime. so don't absent.
Sori, corny.. pero kelangang may paghugutan ako ng grades nyo :)
otherwise, sa roleta ako kukuha ng grades nyo :) syempre, ayaw natin ng ganun :) hehe :)
and combined class tayo..
11am ang pasok nyo. pagbigyan nyo na ako, last saturday of the sem na naman :) and para den mapanood nyo yung sa kabilang group :)
and some other things :)
(like class picture :) hahaha)
kita kits!
i will miss you all..
, ang title na ay "36 hours, no sunset!"
yes!
yes!
oh-my-god!
as in oh-my-god!
check it on CNN!
october 17, friday morning.. sun will rise
but there will be no friday night.
lulubog ang araw sa sunod pang araw, sabado ng -- 9 or 10 pm!
mag-ti-tilt ang earth. so 36 hours na walang gabi!
nangyayari ito every 2,400 years.
and this friday, oct 7 to oct 8 is the day..

let me start by saying na after all that has been said and discussed.. pagkatapos ng mga keme kemeng formula at mga ganito at ganyan sa kung papano ang paggawa at pag-create ng ganito ganyan, papano ang chever sa camera, sa edit, at kung anu-ano pa..

hindi dahil sa nadisapproved ang concept or ang idea ko. okay lang yun kung ganun. alam mo, kung mahal mo ang show, walang problema kung mabaril ang idea mo kung alam mo naman na tama nga sya. like sa wazzup, nirerespeto namin ang headwriter namin. so kahit may mga ideas ako at sinabi nya na hindi pwede yun, okay lang. ganun talaga, susundin ko sya. kasi may respect. pero yung last na e.p. namin sa wazzup, halos lahat kami walang respeto dun. kasi bopols. kaya lang napunta sa pwesto kasi malakas sa taas. andami daming beses na napapahamak ang show dahil sa mga desisyon nya. so dumating ang time wala na kaming pakelam kung anumang sabihin nya. basta, kami kami na lang ang nagkakasundo kung ano ang dapat sa show, kung ano ang dapat mag-air. syempre, upon seeing it on-air, galit na galit ang e.p.
pero bahala sya sa buhay nya. kapag inaaway kami, aawayin din namin.
ngayon, wala na sya sa abscbn. siguro, nakita den nya na hindi sya para sa ganitong work. before sya umalis, may dalawang show na halos sabay nag-off-air. sya pareho ang e.p.
let's go and wazzup wazzup.
so ayun :)
anyway..
yung iba namang tanong, nasagot na nung ilan kong repapips na nagreply. more or less, ganun den naman ang sagot ko :)
remind ko lang ulet, wag na wag kayo aabsent dz saturday. clue: magdala ng ballpen at paper(s).
and again, do your classmates a favor.. either u tell them to read this post or at least u tell them what im telling here :)
as i've said, u don't have to study. kung alam nyo ang kwento ng group nyo, alam nyo kung anong nangyari sa pre-prod, sa shoot, at sa iba pang mga bagay bagay.. yun yun :)
kung wala kayo idea kung ano nangyari.. nakoh.. baka wala kayo maisagot :(
and to continue..
gusto ko lang balikan ang ilang mga pangyayaring i shall call, "exemplary". it takes some balls, determination, and heart doing it.
1.
nasabi ko na to dati pero sasabihin ko ulet :)
it was your docu for midterm, the night before that saturday and yung saturday mismo, before pm class, macko was texting some things concerning failed attempts on some techinal chenes on edit. but came the time to pass, kahit may konting discrepancy, he passed it. and i say it again, that's the spirit!
syempre, okay that's not to discount yung group nina jaeda na days before that ay nauna nang nakatapos, at nung iba pa na maayos at maagap na nakatapos. yun ang ideal!
pero pag dumating sa inyo ang time (at least kung nasa T prod kayo sa totoong buhay) na nangarag kayo, na nakakaloka ang time-pressure dahil sa mga di maiiwasang bagay, don't forget - u should air it. that's the practice. may mga pagkakataong ang Nginig ay nagsho-shoot pa ng umaga and gabi, kelangan nang mag-air. ngarag sa edit. pero walang valid reason para hindi mag-air yun come the airing time.
lalo na kung mapupunta kayo sa news. syempre, hindi naman pwedeng gawin in advance ang news :)
daily yun..
so araw araw na ganun..
pag hindi nag-air yun ng same day, huli na, mauunahan na ng kabilang channel. or hindi na airable ang news kinabukasan dahil may new update na, panis na. makikita nyo ang ibig kong sabihin :)
at without demeaning what happened sa ibang di pumasok kahit may assigned report, wag nyo na ulet gagawin yun :)
sa totoong buhay, nakoh.. sabon kayo.. and hindi na kayo malilimutan (negatively) ng mga bossing nyo.
whatever the reason, uulitin ko.. walang valid reason sa mga ganun.
2.
steve, ayus ka!
ang galing ng rhythm sa paggagawa ng program. yung news na kasama si steve, yung kina cheche.. chika news alert 'ata yun.. solved sa rhythm! walang laylay. pasok na pasok sa mainstream entertainment ang tempo. ganun den yung fake commercials na docu..
of course, like i said before, technically, mukhang may kulang sa editing facilities mo.
pero without that problem, ayus na! :)
sana i can see u soon as AP or SP.
kaya may mga programa (GMA man or ABS-CBN) or segment na andaming laylay kasi yung nagma-master (AP or SP), walang alam sa rhythm. hindi alam kung kelan magpuputol, hindi alam kung kelan mag-slow mo, etc..
3.
i talked to ekah about this. and i told her that i was hurt. u said, "baket yung ibang nag TV prod den dati, hindi naman ganito. nagmumukhang scriptwriting class tayo".
kahit kelan kasi, hindi ko kayo ikinompara negatively sa iba. because i understand and i know na may iba't iba naman tayong backstory and appreciation on things. and to compare me with other professors having different module albeit the same subject is wounding. i don't know kung nakikita nyo ang effort and passion ko.. but i was and i am doing more than what i should do as a professor. nakikita nyo ba yun? naaapreciate nyo ba yun? na kelangan ko lang ay magturo. that's it. but i always consider kung mag-eenjoy ba kayo, kung relevant ba yung nasa books, kung updated ba, kung gusto nyo ba or kelangan nyong malaman yun, etc. Sabi nga ng iba kong repa, baket ka pa sumasama sa shoot? baket ka pa namomroblema kung nakuha na ba nila ang tamang software sa pageedit or pagko-convert? baket mo binibigyan ng ganitong raw mats? baket mo kinokontak si ganitong personality for them, etc? etc..
hindi ba dapat hihintayin mo na lang ang pagsa-submit nila.. na kung wala, e di wala.. walang grade.
Pwede naman yun!
Pero i don't want that.
I am and will always be the emotional person that is subjective and involve in whatever that i will do. Or else, hindi ko na lang pinasok kung ayaw ko.Kung hindi ako mag-eenjoy gawin.
The very reason kung baket hanggang ngayon, iniiyakan ko pa den ang mga segments ko sa A.B.S. kapag nababalahura.
because i love this thing. hindi ko kino-consider na work to. passion 'to, mga repapips :)
and again, im sori.. u might say na i'm too much of myself na naman.
again, u have all the right to say ur disagreement(s) :)
like i've said before, matagal ko nang gustong magturo. kasing level 'to ng pangarap kong maging filmmaker and maging presidente ng pilipinas :)
hehe :)
nung tanghaling yun, after that, kaya ako nagpa-15mins na break, kasi naiiyak na ako inside me. and i don't want u to see me cry in front. that will be fuckin' uncool and moronic.
but why has is struck me? u know what, maybe because it is true.
kung walang kwenta yung sinabi, e di palalagpasin na lang. pero it struck me kasi baka nga nagiging scriptwriting class na lang tayo. baka nga sa vision ko lang maganda. yun pala hindi na yun ang katotohanan. hindi naman imposible yun.
narinig nyo na 'to, sa iba, madaming beses na.. and naaappreciate ko ngayon. na hindi lang ang estudyante ang natututo upon entering the classroom. ganun den ang teacher. i can not know what's on your mind when ur not talking.
naalala ko, after graduating, nag-direct ako ng isang play dati sa sanbeda. ilang beses ko nang nabanggit yung salitang "riddance" kasi ang gagamitin naming music ay good riddance ng green day. ang pronounce ko ay "raydans". after ilang meetings and practice, isa sa mga actor ang hindi na nakatiis, "sir, ridans" (ang tamang pronunciation).
fuckin kewl!
kung hindi nya nasabi yun, baka hanggang ngayon, mali pa den pagbigkas ko ng riddance :)
trivial lang naman yun. pero it means a lot to me.
kaya naloloka ako sa mga teacher namin dati (or mga bossing ngayon) na nagagalit pag itinatama sila.
syempre, hindi maiiwasan yung initial reaction. na baka sa una, magalit or masaktan or ma-shock or hindi matanggap. pero di ba, dapat, upon realizing things, kung valid naman ang point.. why not di ba :) the first step to responsibility is disobedience!
wala namang monopolyo ng truth e.
para den yang beauty. may kanya kanya tayong appreciation :)
ang meron lang is collective memory.
anyway..
so ayun,
that was another exemplary moment. have balls to say ur piece. that's the angas factor :)
4.
hindi ko na sana ilalagay to kasi pinsan ko si kokay. and it may appear bias. pero hindi ko pa man estudyante si kokay, kahit nung batang bata pa sya, nag-uusap na kami ng tungkol sa anime, literature, art films, etc..
and i am very pleased nang makita ko ang writings and other creative efforts nya sa klase. i can't even write at that level nung nasa college pa ako. nagsusulat na ako sa school paper nung high school pa lang pero pag binabasa ko ngayon, konti na lang yung mga sinulat kong nagugustuhan ko pa den hanggang ngayon :)
kudos to that! :)
5.
hindi ko alam kung sasang-ayon kayong lahat or hindi.. pero i think cheche is a good leader.
may sense of responsibility and judgement call.
syempre, base ko to sa aking mga nakita at ibang nadinig. hindi ko naman malalaman ang mga hindi ko nakita at hindi ko nadinig :) wala naman akong super power :)
anyway, no further explanation :)
basta, sa tingin ko, ganun :)
6.
c.y. and hector,
kayo ang embodiment ng gusto kong mangyari sa mga susunod ko pang mga magiging estudyante.
u can tell me without hesitation "fuck you" and other shitty shitty bang bang other students can't tell.
of course, para sa mga conservative, im not saying na saying "fuck you" to anyone is a good thing to do.
look at the bigger picture. one of my ideologies (again, im not saying that this is the absolute truth! na eto ang standards. ako lang 'to. gusto ko lang sabihin na eto yung appreciation ko) kasi is..
dapat walang walls.
the bohemian ideology of truth,
beauty,
love, etc.
pipol of the world should know no color, no race, no time, no age, no titles, no gender, etc.
kung mali ka,
mali ka hindi dahil pilipino ka, or hindi dahil negro ka or mangyan ka, or bata ka, or babae ka,
or dahil empleyado ka lang, or kung anumang categories.. mali ka.. dahil mali ka.. that's it.
kung sakaling may ka-badtripan ako sa inyo, mababadtrip ako sa inyo because of the reason kung anuman yun na nakaka-bad trip. hindi dahil sa estudyante ka at ako ang teacher nyo. kaya yung reaction ko kung magagalit ako o matutuwa o maghihingi ng sorry sa bata man o sa magulang o sa pulis o sa boss ko,
pare-pareho lang yun.
ano ba yan, andami kong chika..
wala namang kwenta :) haha
7.
salamat sa mga nag-comment sa blogspot :)
sana yung susunod kong mga estudyante, mas madaming masipag mag-post sa blogspot kesa sa inyo :) haha :)
8.
jaeda, u have the structural know how on some things. okay yun. but after knowing that, u break free :)
LASTLY PALA..
yung a.m. class, minsan lang sila nag-shoot ng sat kaya mas napuntahan ko ng mas mahabang oras ang pm class..
anyway, eto yung sasabihin ko..
nagpunta ako sa mga shoot nyo.. not to remind you of technical skills and talent. konti, ganun. para makita ko kung pano kayo nagto-trouble shoot, pano nagpre-prepare, pano ang d.o.p, etc.
pero i was there to remind you na dapat masaya ang shoot. na eto ang pinili nyong course, i assume na eto den ang gusto nyo after u graduate. may ilan kasing instances na may nakikita ako at actually, tinatanong ko, and sinasabing.. nangangarag na.. and it was showing in the face.. sa galaw, etc..
na may nababadtrip kay ganito, kay ganyan..
na may mga times na bumibigat ang atmosphere..
kung hindi kayo nag-enjoy sa ginawa
nyo..
im afraid to say..
baka hindi ang ganitong direksyon ang para sa inyo. na subject pa lang 'to,
na isang requirement pa lang to sa pag-aaral,
na hindi ko naman kayo
nginangarag.. papano pa kung ang kasama nyo na ay ang mga demonyong kasama namin araw araw.
syempre, napakadami den naman ng mga bossing na okay. na masarap ka-trabaho. pero syempre, hindi mawawala ang mga mabigat ka-trabaho. may mga cameraman na mahirap pakisamahan, AP na palage ka nginangarag kahit hindi naman dapat.. etc.
ano ang reaction nyo dun? pass the ngarag? na bad trip na den kayo? etc..
okay naman yun..
focus sa trabaho. f
ocus sa ginagawa.
but don't forget to enjoy. at hindi makakatulong ang pangangarag.
hindi makakatulong sa set ang mabigat na mood. andaming maaapektuhan.
sayang ang creativity. and hindi naman ibig sabihin na masaya, hindi na focus sa ginagawa e.
but to offset that..
bilisan nyong mag-shoot!
:)
napansin ko lang,
may mga pagkakataong mukhang napapatagal ang hintay factor :)
and yung preparation, parang antagal :)
minsan,
yung susunod na eksena, antagal pinaguusapan.. ano ba yun :)
work on it :)
kaya kayo nagpre-prod para mabilis na sa shoot..
minsan kasi,
hindi nyo kakampi ang weather,
ang may-ari ng bahay naiinip,
at iba pang mga external factors :)
AND ISA PANG LASTLY.. the 1st saturday of our class,
i said, "wala
man kayo matutunan this sem,
isa lang ang promise ko, mag-eenjoy kayo". sana
natupad ko yun :) sabi ko
lastly na pero andami ko pa sinabi ano :)
oh-ha! hehe :) the
variations of my silly monologues..
elaborate yet useless :) hehe :) any-
way,
ito ang 1st part ng
test nyo nyo this saturday:
how's the project? what was
your part sa ginawa nyong TV series pilot episode?
Or, ano ang (mga) ginawa mo? For
ur group, ano ang mga naitulong mo? May mga na-
encounter bang problems ang group?
Kung meron, pano sinolusyunan?
Any learning(s) after doing the project? And what is your
honest assessment sa nagawa nyong TV series pilot?
do ur classmates a favor.
either u tell them to read
this post or tell them kung anong sinabi ko dito :)
pwede nyo na 'tong sagutan ngayon, pero sa saturday nyo pa dadalhin (hard copy).
other parts to answer to follow come classtime. so don't absent.
Sori, corny.. pero kelangang may paghugutan ako ng grades nyo :)
otherwise, sa roleta ako kukuha ng grades nyo :) syempre, ayaw natin ng ganun :) hehe :)
and combined class tayo..
11am ang pasok nyo. pagbigyan nyo na ako, last saturday of the sem na naman :) and para den mapanood nyo yung sa kabilang group :)
and some other things :)
(like class picture :) hahaha)
kita kits!
i will miss you all..

Anonymous said... we're back to business
...it's kinda weird considering the novel-length goodbye that you posted for us...

a damned question!

What's gonna happen to you?!
To us?!
So much for my tv viuewing appetite (feels weird considering that the TV production subject really ended last sem)
anyways, it's good to back and kinda...kicking(as long as nobody gets hit...)
and sir....you owe us an individual retreat letter! (oh, please don't be melodramtic...we have enough tears, frustration and angst on those days...)
Cheers,

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 :)
:)

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 :)
