shoptalks with myself and other inanities

not feeling well, physically. mentally and else, i'm gathering myself up for a storm.

i dreamed last night that i was in an amusement park. and because of work, i was forced to ride in a ferris wheel, which i'd always hated, being a halukay-bituka ride and all. but in my dream, surprisingly, i actually enjoyed it. eyes-closed, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

i'm taking on the ferris wheel soon. nothing big, nothing new, but if things go as planned, the coming days will see me on a juggling spree--balls up in the air, here and there, with barely enough breathing space in between.

they called me back for the hottie director project. they're agreeing on the terms i offered--pag may araw na sasapaw sa isang previous commitment, i'll get a sub. we have yet to talk about it, but it seems that it's gonna be a go. as scriptcon, mahirap maglagare ng dalawang projects nang sabay. one way or another something will suffer somehow, but i'm determined to keep that from happening this time. for mama, papa, iye, keanna, and myself. all systems go na ito, heart mind and body. char!

this morning the bukidnon project resurfaced. moved na daw ang grind date, pwede na daw ba ko. my ultimate panghihinayang. 3 weeks in bukidnon with @ng3l, p10l0, and one of the mother studio's premiere direks. parang trabaho na bakasyon. pero malabo nang isama ang bolang to sa tatlong ija-juggle ko for the next several weeks. kahit sayang.

last day na kami for my friend's indie film sa aug28. we've only been shooting for four days. hah. indie. keri naman ng friend ko, uber bilis nya! ayokong iwanan ang project na to, kahit magsisimula nang mag-grind yung hottie direk's movie sa aug26. isang araw na lang naman.

yung project RR lang ang medyo malabo pang kausap ngayon. til now they haven't set a reshoot date. meeting lang ng meeting. have to follow this up soon.

three days ago i was too sick to go out. got a temp and body-wracking coughs and colds. still not fully well now, but i have two days to rest. have to make myself well in time for the whirlwind days ahead.

the other night was back-to-back bigscreen night. went to see AVSL and the X Files. liked AVSL kaso couldn't help comparing it to 1 more chance. which is unfair, kasi magkaibang materyal naman sila. could relate to laida's early stages of infatuation (shet, naaalala ko yung film 171 prof ko na sobrang ni-love ko din nung unang panahon...parang sya si miggy, except that my prof was gay. actually para din syang frog princess diaries ko, except that peer ko si f.g. at--yun din--bading sya), pero nung nagsisimula nang pansinin ni miggy si laida, a huge part of me was revolting. NO, HINDI YAN NANGYAYARI SA TOTOONG BUHAY! haha. parang pantasya kasi ng every unrequited lover everywhere...at bitter ako kasi hindi sya nangyari sa kin ever! heh!

the X-Files, on the other hand, was a TV episode that was played out at length on the big screen. maganda syang episode, at maganda rin ang big screen na pinanooran namin, kaso it lacks the "bigness" that i was expecting of the tv show's film version. naintriga lang akong panoorin kasi sabi ng nanay at tatay ko kamukha ni osobear si david duchovny. ha!ha! (at ang sagot ni osobear: "hindi ba si BENdavid duchovny..?" tsk. corny!)

gusto kong mapanood yung "jay". soon or someday. :-)
