may 23 - my first step

i have always made baby steps towards my dream like writing for mustard tv (pero wala ako na-submit at all). it gave me momentary happy-ness kasi i know "ay malapit na ito!"

buti na lang the mustard tv scriptwriting is on hold until the next season, it got me thinking - papaano ung steps ko ba ito?

step 1: write scripts
2: know the production staff
3: befriend them
4: ask them to help me with the camera, editing, etc
5: make my own film

ok, na-stuck ako sa step 1.

kagabi after returning from bicol, i was suppose to finalize my report sa office. then an idea for a script struck me then i started writing (sorry, nawala na naman ako sa focus on the office report) then got sleepy and went home. i stopped by 711 and nagpalamig muna (kunwari bumili ng sabon pero hayun, tumambay muna ako dun kasi malamig). then i continued writing by hand. before i went out of the store i had a rough idea of the script.

then i thought of the people who can help me produce the script. i texted tita emma and today, i texted kevin.

and i texted tito allan, too - a person who can produce my play kasi alam ko he's one of the people who trusts my talent (and has the capacity to produce my script)

tita emma suggested we should seel the script so kelangan ko na matapos yung script soon.

i need composers - baka the relova family singers (mala-sound of music) can help with this area.

just last thursday, dad asked me to contribute more financially. my head was storming with all parttime jobs i can engage in. pero dati pa naman ako nag-try nun, kaya nga wala akong parttime ngayon kasi i've tried almost every popular parttime there is - except exploring my one true love.

dead stars - there is this local short story we read in high school and this is always my excuse when people ask me why i don't do anything to shift to theater. "what if's" always swarm my mind kasi, maraming doubts.

kaya hindi ako successful sa mga parttime kasi hindi ko passion yun. kaya i haven't advanced in my current career kasi this is not me.

wala ng inggit when i see my college classmates excel in our industry kasi alam ko naman on the shift mode ako - and now i'm making that step 1, here's my revised plan

step 1: finish my script
2: collaborate with the relovas
3: sell my script (either sa LOJ or tita emma's contact)
4: direct my play

it's different with film kasi, hindi ko sya medium kaya instead going around the bush - heto na ako on my accomplishing step 1.

Puro na ako salita dati, ngayon I’m making the move.

Thank you, George for inspiring me. Thank you cg mates for the encouragement. Thank you sa mga dati pang naniniwala sa akin – tin, ana, friends. Heto na ako, watch me soar!

Thank you, Lord – the flame is still within me. You have prepared me, I am now ready to fully serve you with the entirety of my life. Not just a portion but with my whole day, 24/7.
