Watergirls

Watergirls with the Mother of Charaughtsity. Happy happy happy birthday Madame Abby!!! :)

The place where it all started.......

I have started a few entries already with the same sentiment...but let me say it again hehe I have been such an absent blogger lately and I feel a bit bad huhu. I half-heartedly stopped blogging during the middle of summer since my teenager-ness kicked in full blast and it left me wanting to be a private person HAHA. But lately, I've been feeling the itch to blog again what with all the happenings all around and what better way to start blogging again (I think) than to make a post about Watergirls!!

Hihi hihi hihi

Oops nasobrahan sa brightness ahehe

Today marks our anniversary as...girls....who share.....common interests hehe. I just wanna go gay and express my love for these girls in this post. We survived the deadliest year of our high school life together, the year that I anticipated that would be the dullest and very academic became so fun and pubertial and so girly all thanks to you guys hihi. All our ranting and venting and squealing will forever be stored in a special place in my heart huhuhu.

Because a little birdy got me started on Sex and the City which is actually quite nice huhu, I hope we can be like them (in some ways). I hope us girls can go and be ourselves out there in the big city or something. I hope we can be very successful in our own fields. I hope we can meet up for lunch in a swanky place someday and we'd all be wearing pencil skirts and we'd exude so much power and sophistication hihihi.

I love you guys oh so mucho! May Alexi Wasser forever be our mentor in life. FMEN!

Benefits of Having a Tripod

I feel like I owe my blog and everyone so much dirt and here is part of it hehe. So on the way home from Pangasinan, I got a text from Maryjo asking me if I wanted to join her join a contest about film and stuff so I said yes and yadda yadda. It was an on the spot trailer making contest. So what we did after choosing the Singaporean short story from which we would base it from, we got to training and practicing and stuff. There were originally around 10 of us but only 5 were allowed to join so there. It really sucked that we couldn't bring everyone since we all were stoked about the contest.

We chose Adeline Ng Ai Choo for our story. It's about Adeline, a 14 year old girl who commits suicide by jumping off the 12th floor of a building since she failed an exam and her teacher wouldn't budge about adding a point to her final grade and the repercussions of her actions. Our trainer wasn't keen on the idea of making a trailer about suicide so we had to really make it light and not too scary.

During the week, we plotted and practiced and played with our cameras A LOT. I finaaaaaaaaaaaally decided to explore my camera and thank God I did! I fell even more in love with it hehe and I wanna name my camera Frank now or Rocky or Leonardo.  

This is a screen cap from our test vids. I play the teacher hehehehehehehe

God bless tripods! The A-Team (that's what we call ourselves obviously) on the rooftop wee

Trying to look busy

Adeline/Chloe being insane

The library became our home 

THE AAAAAAAAA TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

The day of the contest came and we were so pumped. We arrived in Araullo High School early in the morning. The mechanics changed however and we got threw out of the loop. We apparently had to make a 3 minute long short film but nonetheless we enjoyed Mr. Nick de Ocampo's very very very funny and inspiring lectures all about film making and script writing and everything hihi.

Mr. Nick de Ocampo

The first part we had the script making portion and during the latter part of that, he taught us all about cinematography and how to go about the storyboard. We had lunch after and when we came back, we downed our energy drinks, changed into our costumes, finished our storyboards, had them checked by sir Nick and had our most rushed and super duper fast-paced shooting ever. We ran all over the school and it was so so so so so fun!!!!! There was even an instance when Chloe had to lie down on the floor since she had to look like she was dead and this coin fell from the sky! It was quite alarming but all we had to do was laugh about the absurdity of the situation hehe. 

Post-processing was hands down the most gut-clenching moment. Diana had to restart her laptop several times and it had us really on edge and uttering motivations to convince one another that everything'd run smoothly. The judges were kind enough to have an extension of 30 minutes for us since editing a video in less than an hour is just im pos sib le. 

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong story short, we won 2nd place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never really won a contest like except for choir contests and it felt so good huhu!!!!! I don't have a copy of the movie we made but I will be posting it as soon as Diana or Robyn is done uploading it on youtube or something hehe.

I miss adding gifs so here are our timer shots hehehehehe we took heaps of photos because.....we love tripods weeewoo!! I love you A-Team, I love you Ms. Macaranas and Ms. Fuentes, I love everyone huhu!

Ho Ho Ho Under the Mistletoe

Yesterday, December 20, a day before the supposed end of the world, we had our Christmas party in school. 

Churro gurlz with our matching shirts wee woo wee woo w r so gay

After going around the school to give out gifts to our teachers, we went back to our homeroom which was on the fourth floor huhu. Then Erik had his awwwwww moment while we all watched and snooped and lurked like the gossip mongers that we are.

Matthew then gave me the cutest and most adorable raccoon cake in the world which was done by Nona's mum hihi. It really shocked me hehe but it was very cool hehe.

Russ the blind man

NONA SO PRITTI 

Jazz being Jazz

We then had games and had fun and Callado was his..........................self. The prizes were so nice so we really got into the games hehe.

It's not that apparent here but I got scratches because of the games hehe

Twinkle and Russ then exchanged gifts which was such a cute and touching ordeal that was punctuated with our squeals of delight and giddiness hihi. Russ got Twinkle a very cool-looking ukulele while Twinkle gave Russ a huge ass box filled with super cool stuff huhu. I'll forever be a fan of Rinkle.

ihihihihihi

After eating and stuff, we had our exchange gift which was very idk intimate? Hehe we were in a circle and we had to describe the person that we picked. And after that, we gave our adviser Ma'am Sao her Christmas gift!!

CALVIN WEEEEE

After we had our pictures taken, we tidied up a bit and a lot of people left already. Since there were so many left over prizes from the games we never got the chance to play, Dana allowed us to take home whichever we liked hihi so I got this disguise thingy!!

After the party, Jazz helped me lug around my stuff to the Supreme Court across the street. I changed my shoes since they got destroyed huhu and we frantically met up with other people since they were going to go to Star City hehe sorry. I went back to Masci to meet up with the Watergirls so we could hang out. And lemme tell you this, I will never ever wear a hoodie while the sun is still up huhu I could seriously feel the drops of sweat on my back cascading huhuhu. It's either I won't wear a hoodie without airconditioning or I'll never forget to bring an extra shirt hehe.

Chloe, Diana me hehe

We stayed in Masci for a while since I thought we were waiting for Bianca but as it turned out, I was the one they were waiting for HAHAHAHA what is dumb. We went to Robinson's and were supposed to watch Silent Hill but I got dumb and my brain shut down when the girl behind the counter asked our age ughhhhh really sorry about that gays. So we just had our nails done instead and became uber girly hihihi.
