Monday. Marikina time. After more or less 3 weeks I'm visiting my parents (and my cats! meow). Bringing my daughter and niece with me for an afternoon visit. Sopas, computer games, cats, sunny afternoons. That's what the girls will probably remember. I'm kind sentimental because our niece J and the rest of her family are leaving soon. They're living in Italy (they're half-Italians). I'm going to miss her. I'm going to miss her biking with my daughter in our backyard on lazy summer afternoons.
Sunday. Family time at the park. We took the girls to the Quezon Circle. Went biking, go-karting, played in the public playgrounds, then Jollibee after. Isang promise sa kanila na hindi matupad-tupad dahil sa kabusyhan ng buhay ko, until this day. Thank God for days off, kahit panaka-naka.
Had a measles scare last time. Nah, don't want to talk about that. The impact of having measles sa work life ko. Disastrous. Buti na lang negative. Okay, let's move on.
Saturday. Cookie deadline, 2nd order for the week. Di natulog, tinapos ang cookies na 3pm kailangang madeliver. All night, til all afternoon. Nakahabol din, but not as beautiful as I would've wanted them to be. Sayang. i really need time.
In the evening, finished 3rd revision of the kiligserye script. I submitted right on time. Wow, that's a first in a longg long time.
Friday. Cookie deadline. 1st order for the week. husband and I had been doing these Winx cookies for days. Ang hirap pala nya. Kasi ang detalyado. had to forego certain details that would have made the cookies awesome. Buong gabi at umaga na naman akong gising. Then, the measles scare. Pantal all over. Went to the ER. Waited for doc. Yun pala tagulabay lang
Thursday. Labored all day for the Winx cookies.
Wednesday. My husband's birthday. Woke up early morning to bake a cake. Been a long time since i last baked a cake (puro cookies ako these past 6 months). I missed a step, which led to a misshapen mound of chocolate fudge that looked a lot like carabao dung. Hahaha. But the general consensus was, don't judge the cake by its appearance... cause it was delicious! Osobear said so, our nieces and nephews thought so, too. And my daughter just couldn't stop eating. Haha.
Dahil sa birthday ng mister ko, I wasn't able to begin work soon. Kaya ayun, buong hapon at gabi akong NGARAG. Napagalitan na sa text ng creative m ko dahil sa tardiness. Eh palipad sila papunang US the next morning, and they needed the script. :-( Ngarag talaga. Ang hirap magbalanse ng mga bagay bagay sa life. pero sa wakas na-submit ko din, all in, by around 11pm that night. Kakaguilty.
Tuesday. Feedback meeting with the new hotshot blockbuster direk. Thank God, minor lang ang comments ng hotshot direk at ng production m namin. Sabi ng headw kong si B, maging headw ka na Saffron, para maging creative m na ako. Haha. Sabi ko, pwede ka namang maging creative m nang hindi ako naghehead w. Sabi nya, syempre kailangang may pumalit sa akin.
About being head w, I'm not sure if I want that. If I want something, as in really, really want something...I work my ass to have it. Pero hati ang puso ko sa ganyang bagay, dahil alamm ko ang mga responsiblidad na kaakibat ng posisyong ganon. Honestly, ayoko ng mabigat na responsiblidad. Gusto ko lang ng maraming pera, and I'm willing to work hard for it. Pero responsiblidad na mas mabigat, ibigay na lang natin sa iba. I'm a wife and mother, and I have other interests in life. Writing is my profession, but it's just one of my interests.
Ayoko rin nung humahawak ng tao. Meaning, yung may mga subordinates ako na nakaasa sa akin. During my days when I would direct audiovisual stuff, hawak ko ang isang buong crew, pero iba ang shoots. Pag tapos na ang shoot, I'm not responsible for them anymore. Pag head w ka, you're responsible for your team for as long as they're your team (which could stretch on for years). responsible ka for your show, hanggang sa pagtulog mo.
Ewan ko, bahala na si Lord. Alam naman nya kung saan ako ilulugar. Marami akong pangarap para sa baking business namin. Kaya hangga't nandito ako, ipon, ipon. Kasi may shelf life ang lahat ng bagay. sobrang grateful ako for those na nagtiwala sa akin. Pero alam ko naman someday we will all be required to take The Challenge. I don't know if I would want to.
Monday. Presented to the direk the new latag for the coming weeks of our show. at 11pm. She was barely awake, sobrang pagod sya. Sana pala, Tuesday na lang kami pinagpresent bilang may meeting din naman kinabukasan.
Sunday. Labored all day to finish treatment for the advanced scenes to be shot in the US for the show. Hanggang Week 5 sila doon kaya Weeks 2-5 dapat all in na. Dito ko naranasan yung nagtatype ka, pero sa sobrang lango ng utak mo, kung anu-ano na natatype mo nang di mo namamalayan. Para kang naghang na computer tapos nakaautopilot mode--- kung ano ang pumasok sa isip, yun ang tinatype. Kaya nung natauhan ako at nireread ko ang mga sinulat ko, nagulat ako bakit may mga nakasulat na walang kabuluhan. First time!!
So that sums up an entire week. One of the busiest weeks I've had in the past several busy weeks I've been having. Thank you Lord, for busy weeks. Being busy is directly proportional to having more moolah. Which I like. Haha. Thank you! After today's free day, I'm ready to embrace the whirlwind once again.
