Retaking Scriptwriting is probably the stupidest thing I've ever done.

Exercise 1: write about Aiza Seguerra, an apple, and a broken wing in any possible way.

Don't hate me.

( I live with seven little men, I’ve been on a cleanse all week because they say I’m getting too big )

The internship shoot today took me to Manila Hotel. It took me about an hour of fighting through the MRT and LRT lines, walking through old Manila streets, asking bums for directions, and squeezing into one last jeepney, after I told myself it would be a little adventure. Adventures. I never learn ( Read more... )

Hi. What are your thoughts on ice cubes made of rocks?

Two more papers on Queer Cinema and my school year is effectively done. Technically however, there's still next week for me to write 90 pages of screenplay about heartbreak, which will prove to be a bit difficult. Especially since it was due last year.

Yesterday was bad for me, with the misplaced drama, crazy weather, and dirty ukay-ukays; I got sick today for the first time in awhile. I woke up with chills and aching joints, but school really had me committed to doing my best to go ( Read more... )

I shot twice the amount of pieces, operating on a sliver of sleep; the pieces were meant to be hung on walls as well, and without decent places to ( Read more... )

Having just woken up 14 hours after collapsing onto a couch and falling asleep, I realize: IT WASN'T HELPFUL. I'm still tired, and 14 hours even more late on my script than 14 hours ago. Somehow, I feel like I just got more insufferably Asian with that statement, which is weird because I've prided myself for... not being too much of one ( Read more... )

I hate mentally destructive days like today.

Heads up, a new malware that uses your own computer's virus alerts against you to trick you into downloading bogus trojan software is going around. It's called IE AntiVirus, and I only found out after I almost installed it, hesitated, and read the whole TOS- yeah- which didn't make sense. Googling it brought this article up. So now I get random ( Read more... )
