A Different Christmas

1. I went out of my comfort zone and took baby steps towards my dream to create a documentary.

2. I spent it people who are struggling to survive. Although surviving is a struggle, they create ingenious ways just to buy rice. There is the electric fan cap turned grilling bar, 1/4 milk powder-3/4 am (water rice) combination, the caroling activities of the children and attendance to religious activities just to get a kilo of rice and canned food.

3. (dirty) dancing kings. My first time to watch and shoot several dancing men who would face the camera and do an equally (dirty) lip movement.

4. slow-mo downfall caused by a drunk/idiotic tryke driver.

Holiday Notes

Just a few mental notes I have observed during the holiday season:

1. there are a lot of donation/begging going around the metropolis...
It is because most people have the inclination to give during this "season of sharing", thus, an emotional/moral economy is created. Myth or fact?

2. I've gotten this from my rummie/officemate: the more gifts you receive from officemates, the more plastic (plasticer??!) you are.. still thinking, if this is valid...

3. Christmas are for children. Children are the ones who are truly happy this season because they are the ones on the receiving end, whereaas, the adults are the ones who have to let go of their christmas bonus.. hahaha!

4. Just wondering whether depression increases or decreases during the season...

That's it for now...
