Nobody's Home Yet

Last Monday was a tiring and at the same time a fun day. My group were to do a 15-minute documentary about idealism and logic as a major poject in our Bible Studies subject. We decided to shoot some of our interviews in Ayala. It was my first time to do a lot of things I've never experienced. It was the first time I had fun since my college life started. It was my first time to play in an arcade. It was my first time to do a documentary (since our elective Journalism during my highschool days were all about writing articles). Most of all, it was my first time to write, a script, still having this major writer's block.

Of course, the title was supposed to be 'Idealism and Logic' according to the script I've made, but it'll be a bit hard to be understood by others so we changed it to a simpler one, 'Holy Bible: Still Noticed?' As you can see, the first idea of a title in our documentary is about philosophy. But I swear I couldn't think of anything because I was already having a hard time writing a factual script.

I was with my groupmates/blockmates Joan, Daphne, Chona and Paulo. At first, we didn't have any ideas on what to do first. We didn't even know what will be the good symbolism for the introduction frame. Finally, the shoot started with a simple introduction with us walking (Pau the cameraman).

We first interviewed a man who, in my point of sense, looks like our Professor in Bible Studies (believe it or not, he wears like my Professor)! The next interview went on with Chona's uncle and a Brother in Church in a VIP room and it was so cozy so we had time to rest with all the walk.

The shoot ended with the idea of taking some frames of the film in an arcade at the mall while some little or big kids are playing. We were taking it as a scene wherein youth, nowadays, don't even have time to be with God and prefer to have fun and do some recreational activities. Instead of going to a Church, they go in an arcade or any kid's world. And instead of us shooting, we had a little fun and decided to play. It was my first time to play, but I'm certain I got addicted to the shooting games. It was a fun day, so I smiled a lot.

After playing, we strolled around (add that to our energy measurement status), and decided to get home. It was very tiring I feel my feet exploding any moment. My energy was dead to a worthy journey.

I wish I could let you see our little documentary but my groupmate Chona said she couldn't download it in her multiply site so maybe whenever I had the time, I'll try to upload it in youtube. By the way, it's going to be a relaxing week because the final examination is near and after that we'll have a 1-week vacation. I still wish time will get fast, I got used to my school and get the weird laidback-stress feeling.

Er, I still have a major writer's block, so this is still rubbish. Anyway, I've tried so hard to write this. It's a somewhat-poetry or what-you-call-composition:

Ebony in Rainbows

I was walking in a loggia;
the dream filled with delusion.
The days felt silent.

The muffle of harper made my
deliverance lament with weakness that
I felt rejuvenated with violence.

Mercy went on, I hoped
not to enter my soul
I bleed with forgiveness

I can't imagine a summer
flowery fields with snow as
the leaves went on falling.

I tried to leave the scar
but I claimed my hollow
belief I feel my paradise,

doubtful beauty.
In reality.

By the way, I couldn't believe that it's already the end of the term! I couldn't believe I have finished a term without hyper motivation. I still have two final examinations though that I hope I could pass. Oh, it's actually my birthday tomorrow Sunday. God, I'm turning 16 and I think I feel bitter. I'm having idle emotions. Such a confusing drama. Anyway, our Professor took this picture of the block:
