thar he goes...
the guy i was talking about in my last post decided that the animator's life wasn't for him, and left. he's gone to pursue his dreams of comic book-making. well, i wish him the best. it's a hard road, that one, maybe even harder than what i'm doing right now. animation is a 24-hour job. same with comics. the pinoy audience is one of the most critical, hard-to-please kind in the world. i've heard of professional stage actors performing confidently in other countries, but when they come back home to the philippines they get the jitters because they know how demanding their countrymen are.
which makes me wonder why songs like "tahong ni carla" are so damn popular...
in my last post i was still feeling angry that someone had called my dream job 'factory work'. well, come on, it's kinda...OUCH. "who the hell are you to say that?" now that i've had time to think about it...well, one man's trash is another man's treasure. gawd, if my batchmates in highschool found out how much i'm making right now i'd be laughed out of the yearbooks.
it's a good thing i don't really care. :P well, think about it...i'm having fun, and in a few months i'll be able to start standing on my own. i can finally be rid of this embarrassing "26 and still dependent" shroud i've been agonizing under.
it's a good experience in my company too. very humbling to know that there are so many people BETTER than you are. lots of rich kids get too complacent because they don't know just how hard it is, really, to get a job. there are hungry people out there with mad skills, and knowing how to speak good English (an offshoot of being in a private school) simply won't cut it anymore. konyotic people, be warned. your days are numbered.
heh, this coming from a konyotic type. it's like crap telling vomit it smells bad. then again, i doubt i ever really solely depended on a language proficiency to get me to where i am right now.
i just hope we all find our niche in life. there's more to it than making tons of money. you can't take it with you anyway, in the end. and the end may sometimes be sooner than we think.

It's good to hear (er... read) that your doing well in that job of yours. Some people may call it "factory work" but who cares, right? I mean you should actually be proud that it's being compared to an industry that has kept every civilization standing.
Think about it, without this so-called "factory work", where will we get the clothes we wear, the convenient canned and cupped food that we enjoy, the cellphones that we use for communication, etc.? Without you animators, we'll be stuck with the drudgery of live-action television.
Well, I hope you keep on doing well there. Godspeed, my friend.
