nearing christmas break.

it's been a while since i've logged on to the internet. :) christmas has gone. new year is yet to come. :) for the past few weeks....

. i, along with my filmpro groupmates, have made a movie entitled, "bond." :) it was pretty nice, having been part of a production. we spent around two nights just to film. got home at 1:05am and 2am, respectively. hahaha :) but it was really fun... loved the experience. loved the outcome even more. :)
to direct a film has always been my dream, and now it has partially come true :) hahaha ;) it might just be a school project. but the thing is, the group didn't treat it as a school project. :) it was something else... a dream waiting to come true. :)

.. we dealt with four shows. yes, we technical directed FOUR shows for the past weeks. a dance recital, a music production recital, a fashion show, and a SAO program. i do have to admit that we kind of slacked off during some programs for the fact that we were drained physically, emotionally, and mentally (and hey, i'm not exaggerating.) however, the experience was something else. we dealt with a lot of different people and learned to compromise as well as to lead. but yes, it was very tiring, esp. since the shows came one after the other. now i know what my professors meant when they said, "if you really want to earn money by technical directing, you'd have to kill yourself with shows first." :) hahahaha :) but really, i still wish we could at least experience one show that's outside school - the real world, as they say. :)

... got my course cards for the term. hehehe :) grades were good, and i'm happy. but still don't want the break to end. hahaha :)

.... went ice-skating at moa with college friends. it was fun seeing sonson skate. he was panting and holding on the rails for his dear life. hahaha :) he was so cute to look at :) ate lunch at tokyo tokyo then went ice skating then walked around, went to pupung's to eat again then went to starbucks. :) hahaha :) our trip was full of eating. :) enjoyed pupung's a lot, esp. since they moved to moa. (they used to have branch near csb.) their sisig is the best! :)

..... went out with high school friends on the 21st. ate dinner at conti's, greenhills. it was really, really fun being with them again. and this time around, i wasn't the only girl. woop-de-doo! :) hahahaha :) shared stories with yannie and her boyfriend, des, meme, michie, jack, cats, che che. :) too bad sophie had to leave early since she had an early flight the next day. :) fen, yanyan, johan, jimai, buddy, erick, and pochi went too :) it was just really fun having bonded with them again. :) hope to get together with them again some time soon... while our scheudule's not THAT hectic yet :) plus, hope that next time, the others will be able to go. :)

...... one of the negative things i've found out before christmas, though, was that some friends just aren't who they seem to be. you think that they're heaven-sent and that they'd do no harm to you. but, as the saying goes, "nobody's perfect." i guess it's just hard to see through those imperfections at times. esp. when those imperfections mean that they talk behind your back (backstabbing you) and that they put words in your mouth.
you see them smiling at you and talking to you like old times. you never think that they'd do something like that to you. but then you think again. you look at them once again. and you see a sneer underneath those smiles. you see something you've never seen before - betrayal and "kaplastikan."
i'm not perfect myself. and i admit that there are times i do say some things, esp. when i'm fed up with a certain situation. and yes, i do tend to talk behind some people's backs. so i guess i'm in no position to complain. i'm just saying that i hope and wish that i don't turn into someone like those who have done more harm to me through words than actions.

anyway, merry christmas! :) and happy new year. :)
