I finally know the basics of using Movie Maker. It's been ages since I wanted to tinker with it, but I always manage to forget it when I have free time.
Anyway, I hope they won't let me edit some projects for class. *sweatdrop*
Carla, Marc, David and Paolo (Raffy insists.) stayed here in our house for two nights for the video editing. I had fun, even though the stay was for a school project and I was uber sick (cough, colds, sinat). We ate chewy choco chip cookies, melted ben and jerry's, two cans of pringles, several bags of chips and a whole lot of chocolates.
They arrived in the morning, with Pao arriving first followed by David and Carla (who had Kathleen's laptop) then Marc. Had hotdogs on my bed for breakfast. Checking of files, etc. Had Patatim and Beef noodles for lunch, then proceeded with the conversion of the movies and music selections. Youtube videos, guitar music, basic video editing tutorials and damninteresting articles with Pao and David. Music videos, pillow fighting and program hunting with Pao. Had a minor agrument with Carla. Some laftrip moments with Carla and Manong Boyboy. Marc had to leave for S&R, but came back. Final music selection. Introng pinirata. Went to SM, with me seating on the baby seat. Talked about our fare being cheap compared to tricycle fares in Manila. Taco bell for dinner, bought food for the night. Went to Camella playground and played the swings, talking about ghosts experiences along the way (apparently, Pao can see). Startled when the swings tilted because of me and David competing over who is higher, and, freaked out, jumped in mid air. Sinalo naman ako ni Marc. Haha! Tapos may someone daw sa tabi ko sabi ni Pao nung gabing yun. Kaya walang lumalapit sakin. That moment, I couldn't have cared less. I felt nauseous and fatigued. Afterwards, we had to go home. Took a shower, changed into pjs. Start of the video editing itself. Pao and I rested/napped on one bed, David stayed on the other editing videos and Carla and Marc fixing the music and script on the floor. After 30 mins, tuloy trabaho. Invited by my brother to drink alcohol with them. Transferred to the office, with the food and four pillows. Tuluy-tuloy lang ang trabaho hanggang 5:30 the next morning (Marc had to leave by 4:30). Finished 2 scenes only. Nangangapa sa intro ng movie.
Changed clothes, went to 6am mass. May sync ng headbangers sa row namin, because Pao barely slept, and David and I were not able to sleep. Had to grip the front pew to keep my balance, because my knees were giving out on me. Went home. David, Pao and I slept for around an hour or two while Carla was taking a bath (asked them a lot of curious questions before going to sleep). Woke up, others took a shower, hotdogs again for breakfast, then edited videos again. Fried Chicken and Nilagang Baka for lunch (and yes, Pao ate chicken but not before drinking meds to prevent his allergic reaction to poultry). Transferred to the living room and continued working there while watching TV. People taking a nap on the carpet. Pillow fighting with Pao (kulit eh!) and Carla scolding Pao for standing directly above me while checking out something on the computer. Inappropriate daw. Bitter chocolates that was only liked by Marc. Laughing around with Manong Boyboy's comments with Carla. Talked about people inside the room. Was supposed to watch a movie, but I couldn't get the player to turn on. Took a bath, changed into some shorts. Work was only half-way through, so it was decided that they would stay until the next morning. Transferred to our terrace for a change of scenery. Pao's guitar playing and rubick's cube.. David and Pao's punching bag moves. Had beef something, leftover Nilagang Baka and pork intestines (I got weirded out while typing this) for dinner. Freaked out with the bag incident, wherein I couldn't find my bag after I checked the room thrice and Carla and Marc checking it as well, only to find it on my bed. Lakas ng trip amp. I was furious. Carla was freaked out.). Went out to Camella playground again for the shooting of the missing scene. Tumambay sa swings, asked and was asked questions. Slightly equivalent to Raffy daw ako, tapos according to Carla I am a mix of Pao and Dave daw. Tapos questions on homosexuals, courting, etc. Transferred to another part of the playground where we could all sit. Pao, Dave and I sat together leaving Marc and Carla to talk to each other. Taking some pics. Talking again. Cold cold cold wind (poor David, with no jacket). Regrets of wearing shorts from David and I. Haha. Talk and talk and talk. No stars, sadly. Had to go back eventually.
Went back to the terrace. Guitar playing by Pao again. Editing by David and Marc. Eventually, I fell asleep twisted to fit the chair. They finished the editing, then while publishing they took a nap. Video was published by 3am. With stiff muscles and toussled hair, Pao, Marc and I went to the room. Pao told David to move and slept beside him. Waited for Carla to stir, and told her to move a little so I could have enough space to lie down. I barely remember Marc taking his place seated on the floor. Apparently, by four am, he woke Carla up to open the front door so he could take his leave.
Woke up around 8 to find the room empty. Apparently, they woke up around 7:30. Fixed the files, transferred the videos to everyone's USB for backup and Pao took a bath. Had Tapa and eggs for breakfast, coupled with coffee for the three and tea for me. Let my mother watch the movie, and Pao defragmented the PC. Let my parents now they are about to leave. Changed into decent clothes, went out of the house.
Went to SM. Nakakatuwa with so few people, so I was happy. Went to the ground floor to buy Kathleen some macadamia chocolates to pay her back for her kindness in letting us borrow her laptop. Carla and David left, leaving Pao and I. Went to Cybr to let him teach me the basics of RF. Net connection difficulties, resulting in an additional half-hour computer time for Pao (I still think it should've been an hour though.). Jeff gave me some starter spells that I thought made my RF noob life WAY easier (Thanks a mill, Jeff!). After the hour and a half was done, Pao left to head home, while I stayed to have my mother's tickets printed for their trip to Singapore. Went back to Cybr, played RF (di na natiis). Mico showing me how high his damage was. Reached level 15 before logging out.
Headed back home.
All this is too much for me to still go into my thoughts on each scene, don't you think?
