we watched y speak live at abs-cbn last night! well, it was supposed to be just in the afternoon [the call time was 4pm!] pero grabe, ganun pala yun katagal. me and my classmates from comm 140 class were already at the studio by about 4:30, tapos 8:30pm nagstart yung taping! 3 hours of waiting! makes me wonder kung ganitong line of work nga ba ang trip ko in the future. but then again, we were just sitting there all the time [except nung nag-cr kami lahat, para may excuse to get a free tour] kaya di namin feel yung work pressure ng crew.

though all our butts felt sore after sitting for so long, it was such an experience. we were hoping to get "lost" and "bump accidentally" into some celeb. hehe! pero di natuloy. i got to see bianca gonzales, mo twister, uma, paolo paraiso, juliana palermo [who's so good in expressing herself pala.], mikel, erwin tulfo, joe d' mango[?!], etc. there was a 2nd taping [theme: love] afterwards but i had to leave because of the time.

my only regret, was that i didn't get to see ryan. di na pala siya ang host nun. btw, if you want to see my cheek on tv, watch the show tonight at 7pm. abangan niyo lang. if you see it, tell me.^^

yes, friday na naman!

i'll be editing a short docu for a friend. excited na ko makita yung clips para malaman kung pano ang gagawin ko. but apparently, hindi ma-read ung copied video files ng nero media player. hindi ko malaman ang gagawin... grabe, wala kaming windows media player. imagine that!

about music pa rin ang discussion namin kanina sa artstud. tapos pinarinig sa 'min ung bagong song ng sugarfree. it was my first time to hear it [duh!] but i feel na magiging successful yun.

dear kuya
sugarfree

dear kuya, kumusta ka na dyan?
anong balita, malamig ba dyan? dito mainit
pero kung bumagyo, para bang lahat ng tubig sa mundo ay nandito
matagal na rin, mula nang ika’y magpasyang subukan
ang swerte, at abutin ang yong mga pangarap
sa ibang bansa kung saan ikaw ay lagging mag-isa
kami tuloy dito, nag-aalala

[chorus]
nasan ka man ngayon, ano mang oras na
ika’y may kailangan, tawag ka lang sa amin
at parang nandito ka na rin

oo nga pala, kung nasayo pa ang checkered na
polo ko, sa yo na yan. hanap kana rin
ng maraming mapapaglibangan dahil balita ko
mahal daw ang sine dyan
dambuha daw mga pinapakain dyan
tataba ka malamang. miss mo bang magtagalog?
kuya pag may kumausap sayo
galingan mong mag-ingles, galingan mo kuya

[chorus ulit tapos]

dear kuya, hinahanap ka ni mama at daddy
sulat ka palagi.
miss ka namin, pati nga kapitbahay nagtatanong
san ka raw nagpunta? san ka raw nagpunta?
nasan ka na…
kuyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(para sa mga mahal natin sa buhay na
nagpapakahirap sa ibang bansa. Para kay
Kuya Dennis at Kuya Marvin ko… pag-uwi
nyo, dalhan nyo ako ng psp saka maraming
games.)



nung ang pinarinig sa 'min yung demo with the original melody, ang eery nung song sa may bandang simula ng chorus. ang laki kasi ng agwat ng pitch... parang regine velasquez ang style. hirap na hirap tuloy ung vocalist. pero nung binago na yung part na un [which according to my prof, is because of his advice], gumanda na yung song. yun lang pala talaga ang problema. that one or maybe two notes made all the difference. my prof was right, the song IS cute. bagay pang globe or smart. nagaagawan na nga yata sila sa kanta na yan eh. hehehe!^^

may 2 exams ako bukas! booo. sa totoo lang, i'm not in the mood to do anything. ang galing naman, natapat pa talaga sa night before the exams.

bukas iba na. hopefully.

dapat manonood kami ng blood diamond kagabi. excited pa naman akong makita si leo na all-manly at tabain na. hehe! pagpunta namin sa greenbelt, wala na pala doon [2 lang kasi cinemas dun]. kaya yun, nanood na lang kami ng deja vu. maganda, syempre kasi andun si mr. Q na magaling a.k.a. denzel washington. napaka-naturalist ng acting at lugar ng scenes. flawed lang yung storyline kasi magulo yung concept ng time-space continuum, pero i guess ganun naman palagi pag may "turning back of time" na part. kinda a detective story pa rin pero waaay interesting kaysa sa mga black & white na malapit ko nang pagsawaan.

weird, pero inasahan kong makita si beyonce sa film kahit lam kong wala naman siya dun. ay wait... kasi kumanta nga pala siya ng deja vu, hehe!

haay. andami kong kailangan tapusin. yun bang sulit na sulit mo ang "rest" day. namimiss ko na ang saturday na walang ginagawa [pati yung wednesday]... let's go abi! kaya mo yan! hehehe.^^

i'm going to sleep happy tonight coz...
(1) our pc is being fixed right now and will be working smoothly by tomorrow! sis installed a different xp cd (may original naman pala eh) and the activation worked this time.
(2) just finished my paper in art studies (with a few sentences squeezed into the max requirement of 1 page).
(3) i got to watch american idol, twice! sobrang laughtrip!

and it's not yet midnight! yippeee!^^

asar di ako nakapanood ng american idol! sira kasi ung cable namin eh, nakakainis! nagmadali pa naman ako pauwi galing sa 4-7 class ko, tapos ganun na lang. saka first episode un... haay... frustration frustration!

when the c140 assignment was given to us last wednesday pm, i thought "ooh, this would be easy." i wrote the task on my organizer under saturday, 17th jan. somehow, i forgot/got lazy that saturday so it got moved into sunday. i never did it on sunday, not even monday or tuesday.

so now it's wednesday again. and i need to get the paper done by 10:30.

application of transmission and ritual views of communication into film... hmm...

i have so many ideas in my head, i promise. the problem is, i can't seem to put them down on paper sensibly. i wonder if i'll ever get this paper right... conscience, don't bother me anymore. i NEED to do this.
