Kundu's Kidz Klub!

Strange, strange, disturbing show from our TV Production class. Richard Hearsey made us watch too much of The Mighty Boosh.

directed by Balaji Sarma.

I AD'd... and played the chicken.

I Win, Bitch.

Yes, I will be an ass and I will be gloating about this with every chance I get.

WANTED: COOK was a success. (and I know for a fact that HE secretly reads my blog so: BITCH, MY FILM WAS WAY BETTER THAN YOURS AND YOU KNOW IT! HAHA.)

I don't care if they screwed up the film and squished it to the wrong resolution during the screening --- mine was still awesome.

I love my crew. You guys did awesome.

Thank you.

The Last 10 Minutes I'm Actually Free.

For the next few weeks, I'll be out of touch with everything and everybody, and will be living in the editing lab. Probably 24/7.

I'm basically ignorant with what's going on, really. I've got no TV, and I rarely read news online. Last news I've heard was Patrick Swayze's death.

Plus, my cellphone just died. So I'm shutting out and ignoring everyone.

I'm getting bombarded with work anyways. Producing a 16mm film and editing. Then, I've to read and write screenplay critiques. Then I've to work on my next screenplay. Then I've to memorize my monologue. Oh, and before all that, I've to do the sound design for another project. Then finish my AD job with another film.

All I want is to go home to Manila before the 30th. Even for a day. My dad and sister are home. We rarely find our family complete nowadays.

I had two days off, and spending my time in the apartment all day and "chilling out" just felt wrong, so I went to school during the weekends and stayed there. It never feels right to just sit for an hour doing nothing anymore.

I miss doing nothing. But then again, maybe not.

My Crib.

New house is a shit hole. -- Have I mentioned that?

Moved in with my boyfriend and another schoolmate in some crummy apartment former schoolmates stayed in.

This was a boys apartment. They were film students. I expected them to leave something cool, like a big-ass box of film, tapes or even batteries. But NO, they left fucking Warcraft books, shaving cream and razors all over the place. And moldy food in the fridge.

I did find two bottles of unopened liquor and Jägermeister in the fridge.

Oh, oh... and I have to clean up. I'm the only girl in this house! These guy housemates (including my boyfriend) are never going to clean up, and I can't live like this.

My room's air conditioner had thick -- and i mean THICK dust all over it. Curtains are yellow and smelly, and my bed has weird stains all over it -- I don't even want to know what they are.

The bathroom is just awful, it's sort of funny. Showers don't have shower heads, so the water comes out directly from the pipe. It's strong, but the water direction just goes straight down, so when you take a shower, you have to be standing about an inch from the wall, having the shower knobs and water tap poking on your back and butt. The sinks are just scary. I don't even want to brush my teeth in there. Sinks are rusty, and they've got these yellow stains all over them.

-- Don't even get me started with the toilets.

I don't know where to put all my food. I opened the cupboard when I got here and found moldy pasta and insects in it. They're not ants, they look like lice, except bigger, and they've got spiders and cobwebs and dust all over. I'm not even scared of insects, but that really grossed me out.

I'll sound like a whiny brat, but goddamn, I swear I wanted to cry so bad and call my mom then and there.

And I eventually did, and begged her to fly the maid in... I'm sorry, it's just THAT bad and depressing in here. I wish I could move to another place, but everything is just too far from school.

My boyfriend is a sweetheart. I moved in without anything. I don't know why I never bothered to buy sheets and pillows earlier -- I guess I just never had the time. He got me sheets and pillows so that I'll never have to sleep on that blanket we used as a film prop.

My room looks half decent now, so I don't give a shit about the other areas anymore.

We don't have a TV, but I don't miss it at all.

We got high speed internet.

I've got booze and weed and movies in my room.

I'm home. And it ain't sweet at all.

ITS A WRAAAPPP!

Done shooting. I've the whole remainder of the term to just shut my brains down.

Today could've been a fucked up shoot. -- Lost my editor, lost 4 crew members to another shoot, and lost my main location. Squeezed an entire scene and new location in.

But people are awesome.

I can't believe I got the best guys to crew for me. I can't believe I only paid 500 for the transportation today. I can't believe how easy it is to get help from random people. I can't believe they agreed to let us shoot in Kaishu again with only 10 minutes of notice.

I can't believe I got through this day.
