three-day breeze

jan 15, fri. presentation to client for the 1st corporate video. generally minimal, thank god. later, met with bosobear and he treated me to a sumptuous dinner at la mesa grill (sizzling chicken! la mesa liempo! tuna sisig!) and av@tar on 3D imax. loved the evening, seeing bosobear again after almost 2 weeks. gah. went home happy, but still, the burden of a deadline to meet loomed at the back of my mind.

jan 16, sat. met with co-writer n0reen for group liner-writing of our 2-week racket. functioning naman ako buong maghapon pero maigsi ang battery life ko that day. 10 pm pa lang, sabaw na ang utak. nagkataon pang nagsisimula pa lang kami ng liners for the week i'm writing at 10pm. we lagged on with sabaw heads til 5 am, sunday. hay. and we were supposed to submit our treatments later that same day.

jan 17, sun. istress with a big S. maigsing tulog, paggising bad trip. knowing na may deadline na kailangang habulin, and i still had no idea how to flesh out the last two days of the week i was assigned with. cliticlacked in front of the laptop all day and all night. trying to be in kiligbog (kilig+libog) mode and be sensible at the same time. at dahil wala nang oras, di na nakarir ang last two days na supposedly ay finale ng buong kwento. HAY. isang malaking HAAY. i emailed the pinis pradak at 12:30 in the morning. hating what i had done. knowing that my work where this project is concerned had only just begun, and there will be more in the coming days.

naisip ko bigla na ang swerte pala namin sa k@torse. kadalasan, isang beses lang kaming magsusulat. 1 draft, sweldo na agad. pero pag mag-isa ka na lang, at ikaw ang laging magfa-final draft, you will have to go through the whole drill by yourself. do everything. up to the last approved punctuation. only to get the dough at the end of the journey. kaya salamat, lord, for my k@torse group. sana bumalik na ang headwriter namin at makabalik na kami sa ganong masaya-sayang buhay.

still, thankful ako sa diyos, na nabigyan ako ng raket habang hindi pa nagsa-start ang project sa home unit. salamat po. sana naman ma-pull off namin nang maging masaya ang lahat.

went to bed at 1 am. early for nite-owl me. guess i'd been exhausted for the past two or three days.

jan 18, mon. woke up early. watched the golden globes in the morning. it's been a long time since i'd seen an awards show. na-miss kong makita ang mga movie stars outside of their movie personas. there were even movies that were featured in the show na hindi ako familiar, and i realized how far i'd lagged from my movie-buff status of 10years ago. haha.

today was supposed to be editing day, but was postponed for tomorrow. so rest day today, actually, having slept in the afternoon. love being home. love it when i see my cat all plump in the mid, her unborn babies growing by the day. we're all looking forward to the day she'll be giving birth. ang estimate ko, around this friday or the weekend. malapit na! sana tatlo at the least. better, apat! sana dalawang lalake at dalawang babae! o dalawang lalake at isang babae!

dropped by the grocery store to buy her more cat food. kailangan in her last few days of prenancy, mas lalo syang alaga sa nutrients for her babies.

jan 19, tue. editing day tomorrow at 5pm. i loved the gloomy day monday, btw. nice to cuddle up to yourself and sleep. i wish we'd have the same weather tomorrow, para masarap magtrabaho.
