Sinbad of the Sea

Darn.
Pain.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Baliw.
We have this play/presentation for our subject World Literature. And boy, it was so darn hard. I'm the director, scriptwriter, costume person (i brought lots of costumes, not just me actually...all of us, pero mukha akong naglayas sa laki ng bag ko).


CD COVER (FRONT and REAR)
(my big sister did the cd cover, i helped her by picking out the right pictures..she knows how to use the photoshop better than me...as i've said before..^__^)

We went to Norzagaray, Bulacan for the shooting. My groupmate, Carlo, is from Bulacan so he recommended the place.

Lovely place. Very. Sa may ilog, grabe ang lamig ng water. Kaso di ako nakaligo kase wala akong dalang toiletries.

Sobrang init. Kawawa yung mga classmates ko kase mejo nabababad sila sa araw (kaya nga nasa arawan din ako para fair eh...). It's so fun but you still can't forget about the pain.

(my groupmates inside the jeep and in costume, actually pang-abay yung mga blue na gowns, courtesy of me..hehe)
Our first shooting was last Sunday, March 12, inabot kami ng 11:00 pm at di pa namin natapos. So, we went back on Wednesday, March 15, kasama yung mga nawalan na ng group. Pinasama sila sa amin nung prof, and i was really happy he did that dahil kulang kami sa characters. Nagkahiwalay na rin kasi yung group nila. The more, the merrier!

On our first shooting, i cried when we were on our way home. I know all of us are tired, i just couldn't take it. I told Ate Hazel, "I'm ok. This is just my way of releasing the stress."
All funny, stupid and pathetic things were coming to me at that moment. Frustration (because we're still not done, and because I think I lack that leadership thing), stress, backaches, muscle pain, hunger, the fear of going home alone (I went home with Fria, we took the same bus but i alighted at Galleria) and there's this Sinbad who's very pasaway. He's very good in acting and he came to the meeting place very early. He's just very talkative. Ate Hazel was really nice to me. She gave me food and water, face towel. She was really taking care of me. She's not part oft he group, she just wanted to help because they're done taping their play.

On the second shoot, it was not as difficult as the first one. Because we already know how to do it. The sequence and stuff. Everybody's listening. Although, Sinbad was still talkative, he listens to me and my groupmates. Everybody's cooperative and some even skipped their class just for the shoot. I was very guilty. It's like I pushed them on skipping their classes. I'm really guilty and sorry. (Oh, how I hate being the group leader...hehe!)

There're lots of things that happened. If i would include the editing, I would really go nuts. The showing of our play is tomorrow, Thursday, March 23. Maraming nasira dun sa cd, may mga sounds na nawala, mga boses na hindi naririnig. But that's ok. Like what we (my Friends) always say: "IT'S PART OF GROWING UP!"



P.S.
[i found out na wala pala talagang nasira sa cd...it was my friend's player yung may tama..hehe..anyway, it's all over...the audience loved it and my professor gave us 96 for that, he said he loved the cinematography, we got the highest grade..thank God ^__^]
