Wow. I can't believe it's already been 2 months since the last post I made here...
It's been very very busy for me since I became the only writer for the project I was in. The project itself was quite stressful since I hated the story and the more I saw it in detail, the more it became apparent how crappy GMA's highest rating drama series was. Anywa, kung anong pangit nya, ganung kadali naman syang isulat and I am grateful for having all the scriptwriting jobs for it. An easy win is an easy win. Ang kaso lang nga, the office said we would have only until this year to dub it all so binawian naman ako sa volume ng trabaho. I have never had to write 6 1-hour episodes a week before, even back when I was writing at 20+, 3 a week would be so tiring that my eye literally bled. Still, I managed to pull it off with this one and it looks like I'll be expecting a big payday for a long time, so thanks to God!!!
Ut's only been the 4th time I got paid for this project and I already managed to wipe out a huge debt that I owed someone for almost a year. Yes, it's so liberating to be free from debt. You can actually talk to the person na hindi ka nahihiya kasi di mo pa sya nababayaran. I'd give myself another 1-3 months and I think I'll be able to wipe my credit cards clean.
Tapos na ako sa heavy load ng project and am now on a short xmas break. Dubbing resumes on monday pero 2 na lang ang deadline ko instead of the usual 3, and the last 2 isnt for another week. So I have the chance to kick back and recharge. After that, it's a new project. My boss isnt really going to give me much rest, but that's godd... I find myself thnking of too many things when I'm not working.
So there is still about a week left before the year is over. I am happy that I cleared one debt and am not as financially strapped as I was last year., and 2010 seems to be looking good. I have every reason to be thankful.

MORE BS FROM PLDT
Aba, gaguhan ito… [this is BS]…
Normally, when a company brings back an old product, it’s coz it’s a classic and the consumers loved it. Kaya may clamor or demand to bring it back. You would expect this sort of thing from a pizza chain bringing back an old flavor of pizza, or a burger chain bringing back something in their menu, or a junk food manufacturer releasing an old snack into the market. “back by popular demand”, ikanga.
Ewan ko kung ano ang nakain ng mga henyo dyan sa PLDT. As if hindi pa gumagapang ang DSL nila sa plan P999 [the slowest one they have, “up to 1MBPS” daw na hindi naman umaabot doon], naglabas pa sila ngayon ng MAS mabagal! Note na sa P999 plan na yan, you still have to get a landline for the DSL to go through, an added P700, bringing your monthly to P1699. now they have a P1299 plan, the phone is “free” but the speed is BUSTED DOWN TO 384kbps. WTF?!?!
As if hindi mabagal ang DSL natin as it is, do we really miss the slower ones para ibalik pa ng PLDT ang mga ganitong kabagal na DSL? What were they thinking when they brought this package/speed back? Instead of bumping up their speeds, they offer slower ones and try to sell it as “savings”, porke sa panahon ngayon, kelangang magtipid.
Back when DSL and cable internet was just entering the scene, the usual selling point is “__x faster than dialup”. Eh bakit ngayon parang binabalik nila sa bilis ng dialup ang DSL? Pati Bayantel, their latest package is a cheaper package pero 768kbps na lang ang speed. Akala ba nila ipangfe-Facebook lang ng tao ang DSL? Nakakawalang gana tuloy kasi kung kelan ang dami mo nang magagawa online like watch streaming videos and play online games, hindi mo naman ma-appreciate kasi sobrang bagal ng internet mo.
Which reminds me… PLDT has this other new service called WATCHPAD. It lets PLDT DSL subscribers watch internet tv for free. Here I go again. As if their DSL isn’t slow enough, they want us to use it to watch tv online, eh meron naman tayo sa totoong tv nung mga channel na ino-offer nila. Bakit ako magtitiis sa computer where the video is stuck buffering when I can watch it on my tv? Masarap sana gamitin ang product na yan KUNG MABILIS ANG INTERNET MO, which is not what Pldt gives its subscribers.
Pldt, mga baliw kayo. Ayusin nyo na lang nga ang produkto nyo.
