the morbid sixth week
THANK GOD ISS IS OVER! THANK HIM for all the ups and downs and downs and ups... from unfunded to funded, from scratch to something, from stress to relief...
backstage people... is fun ^_^. Now I get to learn how to manipulate those huge sound manipulating machines, how to somehow make a shrill voice sound better, how to increase bass, mute mikes, fade in, play stuff... I did some screw up but I guess accdg to my friend, it was forgettable since she forgot about it =)....whew!
Oh and it was fun working with Shyam, a DJ, owner of his own concert-making company and all...I dunno though why he worked in UCC for a $20 per hour fee, but anyway, he is a jolly Indian Singaporean...Although Rohit said I was flirting with him, I was just unusually talkative with a person I just met maybe because he was unusually comfortable to be with (for a first impression) and not xenophobic as Wayne would term it... He drew a face on my hand since he was bored for a while... But over-all I was just annoying him with all the petty questions regarding sound engineering (of which I truly have no idea about except for the waves that enters those machines! and I knew they were pretty petty for an expert like him)... I was like a very ignorant girl who got lost in the sound box!
Oh and in addition to that, I'd like to thank Karen and the Pinoy group for pulling it off!!! Well done! Actually 1 out of the 4 events people were confident about the Pinoy group, and obviously that is me... hehe ^_^. I wasn't worried about the performance at all and my colleagues are just hey-ivy-can-you-make-sure-they-turn-up-because-we-really-wanted-to-see-the-whole-performance kind of reactions, the only thing I worried about was whether I'd play the right music on time... I did try to convince them that the group already finished the thing, but I guess they were never convinced because they have never seen the whole performance due to unforeseen turn-ups on actual rehearsal dates (and maybe because Im bad at reason and persuasion!).Divya actually admitted in one of our meetings that she loved the part where the enemy--> Brian would turn up, but then she later showed her concern about the Filipino group not pulling off well during rehearsals.
I just want to apologize though for her (Divya) apparently blatant remarks and actions... All I can say is that she's just like that, a so-called "control-freak" --> a person so desperate of putting things under control but I guess not freak as a byword. She just did those because they're basically for the good of the show, and she didn't care if she annoys anyone as long as the show would pull off (of which the didn't care part I strongly disagree with--> I've worked with people like that and I know how it feels to be stepped on). AND obviously she is not soft-spoken. She's smart actually, loud and dominating which somehow cringed me a bit at the start (i have seen her before and her presence, wherever she is, is felt) because I might not get along with her well enough at least until ISS but goodie, just letting her do the talking and doing what I believe must be done did the trick. ^_^. She's nice to nice people--> accdg to someone who knows her and which I actually agree with. Arguing with her is a big NO-NO but just discuss things in a bluntly purely discussional manner... Do not involve extreme negative emotions! Be serious and be a stone if possible! =D
Oh my GULAY! sixth week is here! due to ISS I NEVER HAD TIME TO STUDY FOR MY 3 MIDTERM TESTS! one is tomorrow, second is wednesay and third on friday...
3 labs too... and I am mortified for my biochem lab because it has been long since I did something bio or chem for that matter, last lab I even forgot how to balance equations!!!
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT --> HALL PRODUCTION WEEK! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
But even if I did miss church (yes...an awful sacrifice...) I pray that He will keep me whole/intact without losing my bearings at the end of this week... I guess it is up to Him na... Bahala siya... ^_^... well it is just like that because many important things in life are beyond our control, and the best thing to do is just to leave it up to him...
BTW! vote for my niece! (parang pinsan na rin kasi medjo di malayo gap namin and magpinsan trato namin sa isa't-isa...di auntie and pamangkin! nyahahahaha!)
