the weekend
Saturday
…was the second(also the last day) of the radio dubbing workshop i attended at old sta mesa. i had much more fun this day than the first day as by now everyone was a bit more comfortable interacting…had more dubbing excercises…although this time the focus was more on television and movie dubbing(yesterday’s focus was radio)…didn’t really get how different and more difficult t.v. dubbing was till i got a chance to do it myself….in radio, your only focus was the script, your voice and what type of emotion the director wanted you to portray…with t.v., we also had to watch the monitor to see when exactly the characters opened their mouths so we could synch our voices with theirs(hirap pala nun)….of course there was always an option for a retake, but since it was only a workshop, we had to do everything without that luxury…
…the workshop ended at 4pm although everyone else was still busy chatting i decided to leave as i might still make it to tita cam’s house for choral rehearsals…rode a jeep back to quiapo as it was the only route i knew to get to their house…but then i got stuck in traffic as the pro gloria rally at luneta had affected traffic flow up to espanya…went down near CEU and walked till the street before quiapo noticed that it’s the same street that merges with espanya so i walk to espanya thinking i might still be able to ride a bus or a jeep….30 minutes pass and i realize no jeep or bus was going to pass by (by now the streets were filled with passengers trying to get a ride)…so i decide to go home…i walk from my spot till the doroteo jose station of the LRT only to see more people waiting for the train to arrive so i flag down the first jeep that passes me by( ayus kasi wala pa siyang pasahero)… sat on the drivers side, payed my fare and fell asleep…got home at 9:30…took a bath and fell asleep on the couch with the tv still turned on…
Sunday
…woke up at 1:30am realizing i still had to make the comic strip for monday’s issue of bandera(back to work?!? can’t i sleep for 5 more minutes?!?)…didn’t get to work on it as mom and sis wanted to talk about some recent events(to private to discuss here although it doesn’t have anything to with any of my immediate family…)so i got started with the comic strip at 2:30….;p finished and submitted it by 4:00am, slept and woke up at 6:30am to get myself prepped for the 11:00am mass(yep this early…;p bibbo e)…didn’t think i sang okay today as i was only awake because of the two packets of extra joss i drank before leaving home…after lunch i went to my cousin’s birthday party at paranaque(i also had to do a bit of art tutoring for paeng, my 6 year old cousin)…the art tutorial went well…except for that when paeng asked me, "kailangan ba talagang gawin ito? kasi hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit…" i was teaching him basic pen handling(fingers at the point, the middle and ends of the pencil…that sortta thing)…didn’t think he’d get discouraged that easily as he shows a lot of potential as a visual artist…got home at 5pm, changed slcothes and went straight to bed…woke up at eight, ate dinner…watched some t.v. then i wrote this…i still feel the need to rest so i probably won’t be going out tomorrow….haay…sleepy time. . . .;p oooooohhhhh maybe i’ll watch annie tomorrow then….
