I just got home from a long, intense, yet surprisingly fruitful shoot for our History165 video project. It was supposed to start at 1:30pm, but we only had the chance to finally shoot 2 and a half hours later. Blame the holiday for the lack of admin people. We had to go through so much red tape. Freakin SOPs. Thankfully, a few contacts, name-drops and kickass, no-nonsense phone calls from mom saved the day.

Our adventure started from Luneta Grandstand, Luneta Park, Intramuros, Fort Santiago and ended back at Intramuros’ Barbara’s Restaurant. For most part, I was donning a shimmery green terno. We had to shoot at several places inside Fort Santiago. So just imagine the flock of foreign tourists wanting to take pictures of me and some of my groupmates, decked out in full Filipiniana gear. I really didn’t mind. I was just glad that we got the chance to shoot there and take advantage of the beautiful spots and scenery. Haaaay… Intramuros is the place to be.

Even if I really didn’t have much scenes that time, shooting was still very exhausting. Going from one place to another without having any time to stop and eat took its toll, because now I am just poofed. I have yet to study for my 7:30am Public Management group midterms tomorrow. Aaaahh. Good luck.

I really tried to make the most of my 6 day rest. I had the chance to watch 3 movies: Surf’s Up, A Love Story and The Bourne Ultimatum. All of which I enjoyed for different reasons. I even had the chance to check out the Urban Bazaar at the Rockwell Tent last Saturday. Retail therapy is something I always enjoy. Great, great finds! (Nakita ko pa si Anne Curtis, Raymond Gutierrez and Jericho Rosales.) Haha. Ang ganda ni Anne. :P

But I guess my short vacation had to end at this time. I’m about to start studying because the next few days… weeks will be killer.

Wish me luck.
