and the luck--or lack of it--holds out...
-SIGH-
today was the worst commuting experience i've had in quite a while. the mrt train i caught had no aircon, and the driver seemed hellbent on getting from one station to another without waiting for any of the passengers to get in. kelan nagkaroon ng driver na palabas pa lang yung mga pasahero galing sa tren e nagwa-warning buzzer na?
on the way home, there was a horribly long line at the colorum in ayala. it was past 8 when i finally managed to get into one and took off for home.
then, when i was near sucat, my dad's cellphone, which i've been using since mine conked out, lost its signal and refused to get it back, which resulted in me having to walk home from the guardhouse on aching feet. (note to Smart: don't bother offering services you can't provide, okay? para hindi naman kami ma-inconvenience. dapat talaga Globe na lang.)
i'm so tired.
on the lighter side of things, i experienced my first ever "downtime" at toei. downtime is when there is absolutely nothing for you to animate, therefore you can spend the rest of the day wandering around eastwood. i got to walk around with ace and edgar, and we talked about various things. ace made edgar blush like fury. i won't mention what she said exactly (for fear that some of our more vocal officemates are reading this; no offense, guys, but poor edgar's suffered enough). but he got RED. down to his arms.
our trainer, sir eugene, informed us that our downtime could extend well until tomorrow. aaagh, nothing to do. but, on the bright side, more time to spend yakking up everyone in the trainee batch. i know i have unfinished exercises to do, but drawing the entire trainee batch was more fun. i think sir eugene is tickled pink that his anime version looks cool. and whew, thank heavens i still have the knack for getting people down in anime caricature. had a hard time with some of the people, though.
and on an even lighter note, Underworld Evolution is a GREAT sequel. usually sequels suck, or they overdo everything and come out looking cheesy. this one was just as great as the first movie. the fact that it didn't outshine its predecessor or lack in the first movie's luster was a very good thing. KUDOS to everyone behind the movies! Kate Beckinsale rocked as Selene. (speaking of Kate, her daughter is just as cool as she is. a bully at school kept threatening to kill her, her bunny(?), and her mommy. so she took a magazine that had Kate Beckinsale on it decked out in all her Underworld vampire glory with guns pointed menacingly at the camera, slapped it down in front of the bully, and said "that's my mommy." the boy never bothered her again. hah!!! you GO, little girl!!!)
well, that made me feel marginally better. ta.
