stressed.
I finally get to post something here. It's been...AGES. Why, because having 2 modules in one block is really draining my life away. Stupid enough, they just had to put ComDA and P3 together. Are you nuts?! There's NO WAY we could focus on both at the same time.
ComDA = Research > Analysis > Presentations > Reports
P3 = Pre-production planningS (scripts/proposal/casts/consultations/presentations/etc)
And this is already the end of the 3rd week, meaning we have one more week for ComDA (thank goodness) and one more month of P3 (hell). All of us feel like killing ourselves if not one another thanks to this. Well, yesterday was our ComDA final presentation for Group A (which I'm in) and we felt such a HUGE relief after it was over, though we still have to complete our report with it having gone through the plagiarism checking system and submit it next Tuesday. For Group B, their final presentation would be next Monday, which is totally none of my business. Anyway, that leaves me with my P3 if I can somehow finish up my ComDA report by tomorrow.
As for P3...well, I feel like giving up. We basically need to come up with a 6-minute video as a group and getting the story confirmed was already painful enough. Now that I'm the Producer, I'm in charge of finding and securing everything we need (casts, location, props, etc). It's been 3 weeks since P3 started and casting for actors have started since mid of week 2 and yet, we only had 1 so far (and she's not even our main cast!) Haixx... casting for people is really hard and it gets worse when you hear that the other groups have already secured their talents or are auditioning several of them. Nobody responded to our casting call and even if they did, they were all weird requests. It's not that I suffer being the Producer but it's just..really hard..especially when we need to cast children for our video. And you know what, calling up primary schools with drama clubs are hopeless. They asked you to email them and when we did, THEY DON'T REPLY. I'm SO PISSED OFF at these schools. Some asked for my name and number but they didn't even call back. EFF-U!
Yes, I'm venting my anger in this post because I don't know how or where else to do it. And the fact that my group members keep quarreling is another thing. It's all stress and I'm going to grow white hair soon. Rather than that, I think I'm going to lose my hair instead, because this morning when I bathed, my fallen hair was like..A LOT...and my hair is short to begin with! I'm going bald..O_O
I seriously feel like using a string of !@#$%^& sometimes. Well, I did use them the other time while chatting with my friend and we were like, "Damn, P3 turns us into bitches" LOL. Yeah, it's THAT BAD. = [ And this is how I've been feeling most of time:
Yes, kill me.
AHHH I'M SO STRESSED WHAT SHOULD I DO?! Ohh, I know! I'll ask here then. To all of you people who so happens to miraculously, magically, wonderously read this post of mine, I NEED YOUR HELP. If you live in Singapore, I NEED YOUR HELP. If you are interested in acting or want to try or are free to take up the role, I NEED YOUR HELP. Basically these are the people I need for our video:

Okay, I cannot believe I just posted my casting call here, but well, desperate time calls for desperate measures. And I am REALLY DESPERATE like a damsel in distress. We only have 3 days to shoot and it starts (it must start) between 23rd February till 1st March. The only ones we desperately need for all 3 days are the 2 main casts. And the rest are only needed on 1 day. THAT'S ALL. So please please please please please please please HELP ME! If you are interested, leave a comment on this post and I'll pm you my contact.
Okay, that's all for school work. Phew. So back to my life. Hmm..oh ya, yesterday we had a talk about our SIP/OSIP (attachments) and we were told to start searching for a company from 1st-21st March. Like soooo WTH. Thanks TDS, you just made our lives even more miserable by filling us up with more work during our P3. Tch.
Anyway, before I end this bloody long post, let's update my fandom. Hmm..seems like Lotus single is out. Listened to Ever from Rekomen, well the song was alright, somehow it reminded me of Beautiful Days, and at some point of time, it also reminded me of Jun's La Familia. For their variety shows, well, I'm really upset about that as well since the communities have not been subbing them, so practically, I'm like a cavemanwoman, being so backdated and outdated. Though I did managed to watch the purikura segment from HnA, thanks to someone who uploaded just that part. They were so cute being noobs! It's like the purikura was some alienated machine to them. In the end, they all turned feminine when it was done, and Oh-chan's picture..well, it was pretty creative of him (as expected) Hahaha. Nino's was really cute I should say though. Ahh~ I really wish the their shows get subbed because seriously, I feel really behind.
As for my animes and mangas, I can already kiss them goodbye. Why, because thanks to school, I've not touched them for the past 3 weeks = since P3 and ComDA started. GEE THANKS. Only yesterday did I manage to download the latest few episodes of Fairy Tail so I could watch them when I'm free (I doubt so) in school.
Oh well, I guess that's all for today's post then. I do hope my casting call works. Because I REALLY NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET.
ciaociao.
