Lazy Day Sunday (again)

I had a lazy Sunday yesterday. I just stayed in my room while waiting for my brother to go home. He is using the camera that I needed to capture a video to my laptop. While waiting, I went up to get one of my sister’s books and read. I realized I needed a desk lamp while am reading it.

I searched the web and I bumped into a lamps buying guide. They have moveable and fixed lamps. Good and fashionable designs too. You can easily find what you want when you visit their site because the lamps are categorized based on the kind of lamp.

Back in my room, I can just imagine where to place the desk lamp that I’m planning to buy.

Guerilla Filmmaking 6 - Day 1 Kicks Off

I hurried to go to school since our group project that will be shown in the class on that very same day is not yet finished. I still have to get some parts of the presentation from my classmate.

We immediately assembled the parts of the presentation and was able to make it on time.

After the class, I decided to go to the 1st day of the Guerilla Filmmaking Workshop that is being held at Durian Oowl Bar.

The director of the film "Huling Balyan ng Buhi", Sherad Anthony Sanchez, is already listening to the participants as they develop a story out of the picture on the newspaper.

Reminiscing Technographix V

I got bored and tried to search for my name. To my surprise, I got this article from this site! Oh my, I can still feel the joy of winning this competition. I remember we've worked so hard to be in the final 20 of this competition. Spent a day just to render 10 seconds of 3d animation, barely slept, and a lot of teamwork. We've been working on the project separately. Usually, we meet before going home and discuss what will be done and work on it until the wee hours of the morning. Sweet!

"95.5 WRocK came up with the highly successful Lite RocK Technographix V, a computer graphics final competition on its 5^th year, last August 17, 2004 at SM City Entertainment Plaza. The endeavor was WRocK’s brainchild and its annual involvement to the Kadayawan Sa Dabaw festivities. It aimed to provide a new venue for the depiction of Davao’s Kadayawan Festival (the Kadayawan has been portrayed in film, dramas, plays, paintings and other traditional forms of art. Every year, WRocK aims to drop a unique accent to the festival by coming up with something that is entirely new to the people of Davao); To encourage the city’s young and budding computer artists to excel in their field of specialty in an atmosphere of healthy, motivational competition; and to prove to the rest of the country that Mindanao is at par with the times by being actively involved in the technological advance of the millennium.

57 contestants, 19 entries representing 11 schools, colleges and universities vied for the grand prizes in the revelry of the fusion of roots and modern art; the combination of culture and technography; of ethnicity and computer graphics.

Isang paskil na nakasabit sa pintuan na nagsasabing "Dean's Office". May kumatok. "Tuloy.." sabi ng boses na nanggaling sa loob.

"Sir Dean, papipirmahan ko lang po sana 'tong excuse letter ko" sabi ng estudyante.

"Ah working student ka pala?" tanong ng kalbuhing dean.

Tumango ang estudyante. "Opo, eh nagkaroon po kasi ng event sir na kelangang andun talaga ako. Hindi po pupwedeng maiwanan."

"Aba eh, hindi ko pwedeng pirmahan yan. Excuse ka lang sa klase pag nagkasakit ka, o kaya ay namatayan... pero pag trabaho, hindi pw-"

"-hehe, ibig nyo po bang sabihin sir kailangan ko pong mag sinungaling para mapirmahan pa yan?" tanong ng estudyanteng napatawa na lang sa kanyang narinig.

"Oo naman, kung kinakailangang magsinungaling ka para mapirmahan ko yan gawin mo.." sagot ng Dean.


Nakakainis isipin noh? pero totoo to.. nangyari nung pinapirmahan ng isang estudyante yung excuse letter nya sa DEAN ng AMA Computer College - Davao.
