vision
i was on a cab home tonight when i suddenly saw a vision: light and water were playing on the backside of the cab's frontseat.
imagine water streaming down a glass window, creating those smooth round little patterns, and light bathing those patterns, coming from one direction. imagine the shadows they'll make on an opaque object when you only have the streetlamp outside as source of light.
beautiful!
i reached out a hand to see how the water-and-light effect would look on human skin. writing it down to take note, cause in the future i might be able to use this.
hopefully, not in another cheesy pop music video. haha.

happy day
yesterday was a happy day.
i've always allowed myself to be happy only when a moment has already passed. yesterday i decided to seize the happiness from the present. and so i did.
another funny-sad-happy moment, like the ones i was used to before. and everything about it--the business, the laughs, the twinkle in someone's eyes at the crack of a joke--was just about nearly everything i'd missed in the past three weeks.
now the epilogue is beginning. and it will all culminate with a party.
all the impossibilities and sad realities of the present will be forgotten. everyone will be there. and we'll celebrate and reminisce and laugh about the adventure that had just ended.
back to yesterday: after the oh-so-casual "Byers", i kept my heart on a bridle until you were out of sight. then someone started to sing that cheesy song.
i wanted to skip and sing and follow my dreams.

final stretch
and here's the final stretch. ouch. literally, i hurt. just when i thought that we're past the toughest act, the denouement seems to just....stretch on.
well, might as well quit whining. i'm gonna miss this when this is over.
we did videoke the other night. my new favorite song: especially for you. how predictable of me. and how cheesy.
i was singing and it struck me. why didn't i notice it before? did someone change the lyrics, or did it actually say "i want to let you know what i was going through"? i lost my breath. if this were the movies the protagonist would've been belting it out, with matchin tears. but i lost my moment. my voice was a whimper. everything was too close. literally.
the best way to tell someone how you feel is through a song. it's cheesy like all the rest but it's cathartic. you laugh and cry at the irony, yet you feel good that you somehow let it out.

same time, next year
one year ago, i was...
...24 years and 5 months old.
...in cebu as script continuity supervisor for the Jeffrey Jeturian-Armando Lao movie, "Minsan Pa".
...picking starfishes and seashells along Visayan shores. chasing goats across a meadow under the hot noon sun. staring through aqua waters onboard a tugboat. Having my ultimate adventure for 2004.
...missing home, counting the days til packup time. not knowing that i was actually living through golden days.
...struggling with being the newbie in the team. making strange friends. working with an assistant director who was to become my top choice for 2004's "Sayang Ka Siztaahhh!" award. Wahaha.
...taking sh*t and d*rt from primadonna-esque actors who didn't want to be rushed in their primping for scenes. my pride practically nonexistent (amazing what sheer passion can make you do)
...a certified little brown sister from all that running. i was beyond brown, actually. and i didn't friggin care! :-)
today this year i am...
...25 years and 5 months old. Old!!!
...working on mainstream kilig television
...feeling sentimental about the show who possessed my 2005---because it's gonna end soon (sniff)
...missing someone who's been outtasight for days
...remembering someone's laughter and the things they used to laugh about
...broke for the moment
...a body hungering for sleep
...a pair of lungs screaming "enough"
...a mind that's been subjected to torture in the wee hours
...tired
...waiting for the work to start by itself. hehe.
...missing someone. ay nasabi ko na pala yon.
...hoping that something i'm hoping for will be granted.
one year from now i...
...will be 26 years and 5 months old. Old!!!
...will still probably be writing on this blog.
...wouldn't want to hand out my "Sayang Ka Siztaaah" awards to anyone anymore.
...want to have finished something that i'm really praying i'd get the chance to do. or be in the midst of finishing it.
...want to have more steady work in the audiovisual field, preferably in the position i aspire the most :-)
...want to have finished another short film.
...want to have gone to another foreign country. or at least, another beach paradise.
...want to be in constant contact with The One Who's Been Outtasight For Days.
...want to fall in love with the right person.
...want to be loved by the right person.
...want to stay friends with the ones i have now. and gain a few more lifelong friendships.
...want to stay intact and happy with my family.
...want to be richer!
...want to be slimmer!
...want to be a more learned, more giving, much better person.
...want to have more fulfilled wishes.
