Badminton Afternoon

No, I didn’t play badminton.

My afternoon was spent filming a badminton competition at a very hot and humid venue. It was exhausting! Well, the fact the place wasn’t well ventilated made the task tedious. It’s the project that we’re going to submit for our Audio Video Production class finals. I was annoyed when I learned that we were assigned to film badminton, while the others got basketball and volleyball. I mean, it’s so obvious that we’re not going to film a lot of badminton actions.

I was right.

Yesterday, I thought that we won’t be able to film the game today because we don’t have a video camera to use. One of our group mates, who owns the camera, informed us that they have a video coverage scheduled for today, so all of us tried our best to look for a video camera. Luckily, our classmate from the other group generously offered his camera, and my group mate’s boyfriend offered his, too. Problem solved.

We still managed to have a little fun, too. For some of us, I think. Lexie and I spent some time at Mocha Blends, and had Mocha Frost (Lexie), Strawberry Kiwi (Me) and Banana Caramel Pie for both of us. In between shoots, we went outside for breaks because it was too hot inside. Gino asked us to accompany him during his yosi break1 and there we had more time to chat and not be inside that very hot place.

We managed to shoot some good scenes, some, meaning “a few”. I think we’ll manage to make things work when we get to the editing part. I just hope that Danico, our editing expert, will make do with what we have gathered today.

Meme Weekend

I was tagged by Pao two times, first to show my desktop. Yes, I am still using Windows XP. I just think that it’s still best to use it compared to Vista at this time.

Second, to enumerate the five software must-haves in my computer, that if I don’t have one of them, my computer is not complete, or alive!

  1. Adobe Photoshop - this is what I use to enhance the pictures I’ve taken from my camera, and I also use this to design websites and all my graphics needs.
  2. Mozilla Firefox - this is the best tabbed browser I’ve ever used. It’s customizable and more secure.
  3. Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 - I like Notepad, too, for coding layouts, but this software helps me find errors in my coding, since different languages and codes are color coded.
  4. Nero - I do backup all my stuff from time to time, and this software is a really big help since it is easy to use.
  5. The Sims 2 - I love simulation games, and this is my most favorite. During my free time, you can just find me sitting in front of the computer and playing this for hours.

I am tagging Lexie, Scarty and Xyla to do this meme ;)

Happy Weekend!

Oh, and hosting is open, just contact me.

Current Mood: emoticon

Last Friday, we were able to talk to our friend. We invited her for lunch at KFC after class, and I was glad she agreed because she came to school late, and she seems to feel a little sick. When we were in line to get our food, she approached me and was first to open up. It’s a great thing that she did that because I have been waiting for her to talk to me since I made the first move to talk to her a week before.

We all sat down and started to talk and got everything out on the table. I saw a defensive face in her while I was talking, which is understandable since when I talk, it sometimes seem that I am angry, but that’s just the way I talk in a serious manner. I do have a strong personality and most of the time, people mistake it as something else, like I am mad all the time, or that I am not approachable. The truth is, when a person becomes my friend, it means that he/she shouldn’t be afraid to tell me things as it is, even if it will not be the way I want it to be, at least he/she is honest with me. I explained that to her, and that her being “neutral” is not always a good thing, that she should learn to say “yes or no” to me, no matter the situation.

Anyway, I am in need of a new monitor. It’s been flickering and freezing more than once in a day, and it sucks, especially when I am playing this old game, Theme Park World. Yeah, kid’s game, but I like it! I plan to buy a new one when I have saved enough money. I wonder when that is!
