The People I Miss.

I saw this video posted by my classmate Kate on her facebook, this the "tribute" video for our batch during the send-off program by the CAD family. I believe this video was made by a Communication junior back then, thanks!



This video is made by classmate Glaize, unfortunately the music was disabled by YouTube due to copyright issues, anyway its the pictures that count anyway :D



I really miss my college classmates. Hope someday we could all get together :)

Yellow Ribbon for President Cory




If you have a Twitter account please support the "Yellow Ribbon for Pres. Cory - "Yellow ribbon of prayers for former Philippine President Cory Aquino".
All you need to do is go to this site and show support by logging in your Twitter account to automatically place a yellow ribbon on your avatar (just like the one above) . So what's the relevance of this you might ask, this is just a way for us to show support for our iconic Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino who is suffering from cancer. I wanted this online campaign to be huge enough so that this would reach the family of Pres. Cory. By the way, I did not start this, I just saw this on my twitter feed and I'm doing my part to spread the word.

I really hope Cory Aquino would survive this sickness although it seemed like she is really suffering right now. I really look up to Cory Aquino, she might not have been the best president but I'm so sure she is a good person and I like what she symbolizes for. God Bless President Cory!

Episode No. 53


This week I worked on my first dubbing script for a full episode of El Cartel. I made it to the deadline today. And well I've really gave my 100% because I want my first full episode to be decent - well, not just decent - but good. The past three nights I've stayed a little late in the office just to polish my script. But I will find out next week (or the week after that) what will be my "sentence" because the dubbers will be the judge if I did a good job or not. Since my first day with this job my co-writers already gave me a heads up how meticulous the dubbers are and how they scrutinize the scrips they made. I just really really hope that my first full episode will not be awful for them. *crosses fingers*

Bullets: 2009 Emmy Nominations

  • Wow, 30 Rock is truly an EMMY darling, 22 nominations! I'm not a regular watcher of the show but I do like it but the overflowing love this show has been receiving might cause a backlash too. I admit that I'm a bit annoyed that they love this show too much. For example, in the writing category they got 4/5 nominations (it also happened with Mad Men for the Drama category 4/5!)! I mean I'm sure those episodes are well-written but in my opinion there should be a limit to pave way for other well written shows from many shows.
  • I'm glad that How I Met Your Mother finally was recognized. The nomination for Outstanding Comedy is long overdue. For me the best season for that show was the second season, how I wished they were recognized back then. That show has an excellent ensemble cast plus the process of storytelling is wicked! The attention to detail is amazing! I know its a long shot for them to win the category with 30 Rock expected to win that for the third year in a row (22 Nominations!) but I hope that someday they could win.
  • I'm sad that SURVIVOR is snubbed again for Outstanding Reality Competition program! This reality show has stand the test of time, the way that they could produce two editions per year yet they still find ways to make each season stand out is amazing. If there is one show that should break the monopoly of The Amazing Race in the category is this show. With Survivor not in the running, I'll be rooting for TAR to win again haha. If they will lose I would either pick Project Runway or Top Chef to win. I watch American Idol but this show is inferior to the other reality competition programss because let's admit the premise of that show is simple unlike TAR and Survivor (and Project Runway and Top Chef too). As for the host, I hope Phil Keoghan win this time, I'm glad he is nominated this year after being snubbed last year (but I was so happy that Jeff Probst won last year, he deserved it!)
  • I'm happy Pushing Daisies nabbed FIVE nominations. Yes, this year they missed out on the major categories save for Kristin Chenoweth's nod for Supporting Actress but at least they weren't totally ignored despite being canceled early last TV season. I hope they win all the technical categories they were nominated for (Hairstyling, Make Up, Costumes and Art Direction) or at least not go home empty handed, I just want to see them win. It would be great if Chenoweth wins but I think it a long shot but who knows right?
  • Very glad that Jim Parsons aka Sheldon of The Big Bang Theory was nominated! Sheldon is truly the star of that show! I knew it that he will be nominated because, well, he along with Grey's Anatomy Chandra Wilson presented the nominees but when it was already confirmed I was still happy, he deserves it so much! Sheldon is an over-the-top character and if the actor is not that good the portrayal of the character would look cartoonish but Parsons pulled it off! I hope he wins!
  • So glad LOST is nominated again for Outstanding Drama. The show could sometimes be confusing but anyone who watched this for sure knows how captivating the show's mythology is and how the writing is poignant and the performances truly outstanding. I hope Michael Emerson who portrays the amazing Ben wins this time!
  • Breaking Bad is not a popular TV show and some were shocked that Bryan Cranston won the award for Lead Actor for a Drama series last year but he deserved it. This show is dark and depressing but wonderfully acted, so it was nice to see that his co-star Aaron Paul got a nod too. Please check this show out.
  • I hope The Colbert Report will win for the Outstanding Variety, Musical, Comedy program. The show is so funny! Stephen Colbert is just amazing! I like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart but I find Colbert funnier. Anyway, that's relative I know haha. Anyway, whether he wins or not for sure he would have a say on the show and for sure it will be funny just like the previous years when he loses. Too bad Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety, Music, or Comedy program was discontinued this year, I wanted to see Colbert win one, oh well.

Preview?

I attended my first department meeting today and well I discovered some important matters: First, the office will now unblock the social networking sites but will keep a record on the sites an employee visits and well if the employee's work performance is poor they will check out how much time an employee spends his/her time accessing those sites and well it could cause termination I think. It's a good compromise for me.
Next, well the manager talked about the poor feedback some of the scripts were receiving from the dubbers. It was a long discussion and hopefully the upcoming weeks will be better for us. Lastly, starting next week, I will now produce a dubbing script for a full episode! The past days, I was just given 5 to 10 minutes worth of script everyday for various episodes handled by the senior writers. My co-workers said that my pace is actually good and they actually asked me if I want to write for a full episode, I immediately said 'yes' because I know I can do it. Plus, I really wanted to have a full episode already to see how would the manager and dubbers assess my work. I hope I won't receive a very bad criticism but then again I should always be ready.
I really like this job, its perfect for me because I love watching TV and I have this dream of becoming a writer for a TV show so this job is a good way for me to develop that skill.
It helps that the TV show we're currently working on, Colombian telenovela El Cartel, has an interesting premise. Its not the usual melodrama but its a suspense-action series and the story is based on true events. The show tells the story of the world of drug trafficking in Colombia. I will write a separate entry about that show sometime.
I have just a good feeling with this job so far. And I'm very happy to feel this way finally.

Spotlight: Brooke White's Radio Radio

One of my favorite American Idol alumnus released her album "High Hopes and Heartbreak" on US iTunes today (I hope there will be a miracle and the album will also be released here in the Philippines) with the physical CD out in the record bars (in the US again) next week. When you download the album on iTunes it comes with the music video of her first single Radio Radio! Anyway, see the video below. I hope Brooke will find success with her post-AI career even if not as big as the other AI alumni. I love this song and the music video because I AM RADIO FAN, even in the age of iPods, I still love listening to radio! It was to cool to see classic radios on the video of this song, I felt nostalgic again ;)

Philippine Music Charts Thread Midyear Recap 2009



PinoyExchange.com's Philippine Music Charts Thread compiled all charts posted there from January to June this year and formulated a pointing system to make a summary of the top songs for the past six months. Well, this is not really something official or could really say the top songs in the country ala Billboard since we only covered the charts of the radio stations/music channels that were posted there and mostly came from Metro Manila stations although the past months the thread had received several updates/contributions from charts from the provinces so I could say that this year we had a wider scope (see last year's midyear tally here). This list could be somewhat a good glimpse what songs were popular this year. Kudos to erzo, the thread's resident mathematician for tabulating the charts. So without further adieu, here are the results:

As for the manner of computation for the chart, here is the explanation made by the tabulator, erzo:

"The weekly charts have higher weight assigned, compared to the daily ones. All positions are assigned points

Generally I assign 100 points for the #1 song and 25 points for the tail-end song. Then points are adjusted for the songs in between these positions.

For daily charts, it's 100/number of days with countdown for the #1 song and 25/number of days with countdown for the tailend song. (So for Magic Top 5 @ 5, it's 25 points for #1 and 6 points for #5.)

Given these, a #1 song of a certain station can have as much as 200 points in a particular week."
