Missed much.
After more than two weeks of blogging and online shop handling hiatus, I am in a return from the exhausting (extended much) shooting schedule of the indie film that I work for. Details of this part-time job are in my previous post. Partly, I'm in celebration because of the fact that pre-prod and prod (prod - short for production) days and nights are finally over.
However, my job isn't finished yet. My boyfriend and I were assigned to put together a short documentary about Komedya (a Filipino traditional play), particularly Moro-moro (a Komedya concentrating on the conflict between Christians and Muslims) as a primer of some sort for the movie.
Some snaps from the San Dionisio moro-moro JR and I watched.
Direk Mario O' Hara was a guest of honor.
Relevance? FYI: Andres Bonifacio (a Filipino hero) is a Moro-moro actor. Aside from the fact that he is the Supremo of the Katipunan (KKK - a Filipino secret society of revolutionary men and women during the time of Spanish colonization in the Philippines), he is also a writer and a performer who enticed additional KKK members through embedded radical ideas and messages of insurgency through this form of theatrical productions in local town plazas.
The making of the documentary is still on hold while we finish enrolling for this first semester. As soon as we finish school matters, we have to immediately brainstorm and go back to work to get the documentary and the credits shoot for the movie done ASAP before school starts (on June 10). So basically there's less than one week left for us.
And though my mind is still basically filled with work, I had a day to unwind and spend some quality time with my boyfriend. We hung around at his place, killed time by playing xbox and ate dinner with his family. Thanks to yesterday's rainy weather, I was able to wear my never-worn silver jacket (took me years to wait! pun intended.) and white beanie.
Ever since the accident, I started purchasing a lot of black opaque and sheer tights, and leggings (of various types). This printed one I got from Pasay bazaar for only P75 (cheap much)! Bought it without thought since Divisoria stalls sell it for at least P100 and up. I know, I was really inspired by Gizelle and yes, I love her. I really do (been really following her)! But as of now, I'm not yet comfortable wearing my shorts and skirts without trying to hide my scars (been trying to perfect the make-up trick).
A real outfit post - one of the things I really missed on doing ever since I took the job. But more than that, I long the luxury of time I used to have to write pieces that really come from the heart. In my livejournal blog (and even personal diary), I remember how I allot a big fraction of my hours in writing; in my diary's case, scrapbooking. Now, there seems to be so little time. 24 hours will never be enough for a busy bee.
How about you? Have you missed something you really love doing? Reconnect with old friends, do your long lost hobby (you may even surprise yourself!) You don't need more time. Just FIND TIME for it.
PS. Expect more shoot/work related posts. Though I have to preserve the secrecy of the film, I guess I could share a few without revealing too much. I have a lot of photos kasi na I really want to share! BTW, don't you just love my site's new banner and buttons? Haha. Have a happy weekend! (30)

OMGEEEE. INGGIT ako. san ,m nabili yung shoes?
ReplyDeletelove et....
@ Lee: Thanks! I'd prepare a post of that one of these days :)
ReplyDelete@ Karl: Mas inggit ako sa wardrobe mo :) Got the shoes sa isang ukay store in Pasay. Dunno the name, hilera kasi sila tapos I just went it. Bought it impulsively!
TO ALL:
The shoes are not super comfortable but wearable. My feet do not hurt for a few hours let's say one - three. But I bet my life that my feet will die if I wear it the whole day. It feels like wearing sky-high pumps. I'm almost at tiptoe inside :) But still, for the love of lady gaga. The shoes are worth it :)
wow i love your shoes!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes so much! :)
