things to be happy about right now:
1. after wednesday's shoot, i have today and tomorrow as rest days.
2. the weighing scale said i dropped more or less five pounds since two weeks ago. too slow, but at least i'm back to my semi-normal weight. konti na laaang!
3. i'm glad i've found an Assistant Director who's not only a co-worker but a friend, as well. that's a first. i love you sister!
4. and because she's a friend (and yeah, maybe, probably, she has some dint of confidence in me), she says she's going to get me as script con if she accepts the prestigious new project for regal.
5. i have more energy today than my usual low these past several days.
6. if tomorrow night's planned malate trek would push through, i just might see FG again for the first time in months. awww. love you din sister!
1. i was running on perilously low energy during last wednesday's shoot. lugmok-tired. i'd had too little sleep the night before, i.e. two hours. and it was so friggin hot on the set, the heat was draining out everybody's energy as well. went home not only exhausted, but depressed. everything's been goin well at work, but somehow the blahs have hit me again. the Alang Gana syndrome. parang di ko na naeenjoy ang ginagawa ko. it happened a few times in the Vietnam film, now it's happening again. maybe it's just lack of sleep and the physical exhaustion. maybe three days is all i need to regain the enthusiasm that used to carry me through each and every adventure.
2. it's the first time i'd consciously tried to lose weight in nine months. haha. parang nanganak. work is a great weight loss tool. shooting GeeGee at Waterina in December (i had no appetite the entire two days we were shooting), editing it in January (no appetite as well during those several straining days), then doing segment producing work for Da Haus (it was a very physical job, runnin around shooting every single day for about a week). and then i took the Story Ed job, which was probably the Best Weight Loss Tool I've Ever Had. haha. little sleep, daily pressures, daily tensions, yosi, coffee. with everything flying over your head, who would remember to eat? deadlines were everything.
3. i worked with this current film's AD in F0ll0wing R0sa, the f0reign film that was shot here in November-December last year. she's a darling. period. sana wag magbago.
4. i'm actually having second thoughts about taking another script supervising job after this film, but if the current would thrust me in that direction, why not. bahala na si lord. i was thinking of going back to my Personal Project after we wrap up this film in August, but if the opportunity to get another project presents itself, i'd probably take it. pag talagang inanod ako papunta sa direksyong yon, malamang ibig sabihin non si God na ang nag-decide.
pag nagkataon, nakakatuwa lang isipin. three movies this year, plus Da Haus stint and the short film. i'd want to look back to 2006 as a busy, busy year. sige, sana nga matuloy yung sa Regal. pag nagkataon first-time director na naman ang matotoka sa kin. which suits me just fine, cause seeing first-time directors at work might teach me a thing or two about what not to do when the day comes that i'd be in that (much coveted) position myself.
5. i need the rest. i need the rest! halleluiah!
6. sabi nga ng isa kong friend kung magrereflect siguro ang identities ng mga Profile Viewers ni FG sa Fwendster, malamang puro ako ang lalabas na nag-view. haha. eh ganun talaga. hanggang tingin na lang naman e. at hanggang dun na lang yun, kasi sister na lang ang tingin ko sa kanya ngayon. (charuz. etchos. chikah) at least matutupad na rin ang pinapanga-pangarap kong chance para umangkas sa wheels nyang amoy-strawberry sa loob. mmm-bango.
hay. work, work. this is turning out to be an effective horror film. for the first time in a long time, i got to work in a movie that i myself would want to watch.
