Special thanks to the people who hav helped us during the making of the video! Victor Villanueva, Sir Bancas (mao ba ispeling?), Ceasareina, ug sa tanang mga tawo na among nahasol! I promised them that i would give them a copy of the video.. apan :-s bati man! waaaahh!!! Magreshoot pa mi!!! Uhuhuhuh, di ko ganahan. Corny kaayo.. but they will have a copy... someday... kon maka-reshoot na mi :P.


I learned lots from this video! Permi gud ang sayop akong makita everytime motan.aw ko ani! It spelled I-n-c-o-n-s-i-s-t-e-n-cy. I will always have nightmares. o_O Though dako among grade aning videoha, bati man gihapon. Bisan kami pa ang highest, bati jud ghapon, do. Uhuhuhu, ang part lang na naay tripod akong ganahan. Naay importante na part na naa mi sa bukid na wala namo naapil kay hayag ra kaayo, nangluod man gud si Adelle nako, di na motabang! Di man kaayo ko kbaw mogamit sa camera ato... Ug ang radyo pod na gidala ni Angela low batt pod! di kadaog ug CD! Plus, mga bogo pod kaayo, wala gadala ug extra battery :| Imagina nanaog pa mi sa bukid paglow-batt :| hay, mag gani naa si Ces. Siya pod ga-provide sa suoton ni Ricky (taga-didto man sya) kay si Ricky wa man gatarong ug sanina! (laaaate pa jud kaayo niabot ang buang) Si Ces pod nag-accomodate namo didto! hay, love you Ces!

Then kato pod nag-shoot mi sa uptown boulevard, dugay kaayo (as in kaayo) naabot si Sarrah. grrrr... makasapot. Literally, wa jud miy nabuhat didto, uwaw na lang mi ni Victor ato. Nahasol pa namo sya. Naa miy shots didto apan wa ko ganahi. There was a time i wanted Sarrah to "para" a jeepney, dili siya kay uwaw kuno. Hahay... Nalingaw ra mi ug sakay sakay sa dolly! Weeeee. Oh well, thats life.... then pag-editing, ganahan ko magreshoot, bang, giprenda bitaw ni jade ang iyang camera kay iyang ate na-stuck sa Narita Airport.... uhuhuhhuh, depressing kaayo. Mao na ang last part sa kanta bati kaayo. Mga reject na shots giapil na lang. Ang opening pod sa kanta... di man jud dapat kana unta :(... Salamat kaayo ni John sa pagpasensya nako sa pag edit. Mura ko jud ug dictator sa editing room atong panahona.

Ang shoot pod namo sa IRS, hala, bantayi ang earrings ni Sarrah, maglain-lain!! Makita pa jud ang radyo sa daplin sa sinugdanan na part :)) :)) . Murag ikatulo man tingali mi nagbalik-balik didto... mao nay mahitabo kon permi malimtan ni sir Bancas pagdala sa dolly! permi pod sya out of town atong panahona... Lain-lain pod ang tagak sa shadow. Basta nakat.onan jud nako, no, basta same scene, kon magreshoot parehas pod unta ang oras! Labi na kon natural lighting ka nag-agad. Oh well, thats life... Kon makabantay mo, dali ra kaayo mo-change ang shot, dali ra man gud kaayo akong attention span!! Ang gusto man unta nako cut-cut ug wala nay pa-fade-in2x effect, apan si john nangusog man.

Naa juy mga butang na wala ko kabantay while ga-shoot pa mi ug diha na namo mabantayan sa editing! Parehas ana katong ga-shoot mi sa IRS, wa ko kabantay dayon na hiwi diay ang pillars, you know, those little details. Funny pa jud kaayo pag-ikaduha namong shoot didto, guba man ang industrial fan among nadala sa taas ba, mao nang naa juy part na murag gibagyo si Sarrah!! Ahahahaha, di man unta na namo apilon kanang parteha... but for sentimental reasons, ganahan ko makahinumdom anang parteha na gipinaghirapan jud ni jade ug pa-steady sa fan kay magsige ra ug tuyok! dili mapa-steady!! (total guba na man jud ang video ug nisimang na jud sya sa original concept so i didnt care much anymore...) Haha, funny kaayo to.

Lingaw i-shoot si Sarrah. She's gorgeous! Naa juy star quality ang buang!! Ahaha, ako sya permi gi3/4 view para dili kaayo siya tambok tan.awon. Ahahaha, ingon sya kon magreshoot mi, wala nay leading man! Luod bitaw oi. Manlimbawt jud akong balahibo taga kita nako sa scene with Ricky. OA na kaayo. Not because of Ricky. Ricky was okay.. i mean, ang pagkashoot ba... Atong panahona na naa na mi sa editing room, pressured na man kaayo ko ato. Naa pa jud koy plate ato sa Cartooning ug Adv. Layout!! uhuhuhuh, nightmare!! Mo-cut na gud ko ug klase para lang adto sa editing room! Since giprenda ang cam di na man jud mi ka-reshoot mao bisan atong mga scenes na reject, naapil na lang. May gani maayo pasikot-sikot ug edit si John. Whew!
Anyway, bisan disastrous ang kalabasan, lingaw man ghapon! it was an experience i would never forget..... Eeeeeekkk!!

Libog lagi ang Life...

Ni-walk out ko ganiha sa praktis...
Di ko ka-concentrate ug duwa...
Naglagot ko.

Mangutana ko, bangâ ba ko?
Tan-aw nako sa akong kaugalingon, nag-improve man sab ko.
Striker ko sa maganahan o sa dili.
Unsay trabaho anang striker, mo-score, di ba?
Maka-goal man sab ko, dili ba?
Basin tingali kon maka-goal ko, walay makabantay

Striker ko ug mo-goal man sab ko.
Gakulang ba ko sa akong posisyon?
Well... gapraktis pa man sab ko hinoon.
Yeah, di pa kaayo ko maka pina-cheenee-fake,
or pina-cheenee-turn,
Or pina-perfect-apple fake,
or pina-perfect-apple turn,
or makalikay-likay pina-adelle,
Apan maka-goal man ko dba?
Bahala giunsa pa na nako ang bola paghatod sa goal,
Bisan magkabuang pa ko, maka-goal lang!
And I usually do it truthfully coz i'm not yet good on faking it.
Anyhow, i see to it that I do my primary purpose as a striker.
And that is to GOAL, dba?

Ngano mag-ingon man jud nâ si coach na nabyaan nako sa akong mga kauban?
Mao ba jud? O mao lang kay dili kaayo ko ka-joggle sa tiil?
Wala ba jud ako nag-improve?
Tinood man sab na di jud kaayo ko kbaw mo-joggle sa tiil
Apan kahibalo man sab ko mopatid, dba?
Okay man sab ko sa mga drills,
Ug masayod man pod ko sa akong mga sayop.
Dili man sab ko magpabuyag permi, o mag sige ug absent.
Di man sab ko ma-late, in fact, sayo man gani!
Ug magpractice jud tuod ko.

Apan ngano man jud?
O, dili lagi nako dibdibon ang gisulti ni coach.
Palapson lang lagi nako sa pikas dunggan.
Really, I would always try.
Apan atay, mura jud ug atoli ang iyang gipanulti..
Magpabilin jud!
And I always hear it in echos...
Til i can play no more...

Today, coach finally said what Orange really means.
"Second stringer ang Orange."
Kbaw na man ko daan second stringer ang 0range...
Apan lahi ra jud kon isulti...
Karon pang adlawa ko kadungog ni coach nisulti niini.
Second stringer... second stringer...
I hear this word in echos...
I am always in the second string.
Wala ko nahimutang.

Lain kay ang feeling.
Yeah, lahi ra jud ang treatment sa Orange ug sa Green
I never fail to notice that.
Mao usahay, mawad-an ko kalit ug gana
But there are times makarecover ra ko.
I really hate the unequal treatment...
Feeling nako, wa ko ga-praktis.
Feeling nako, ako ang gipraktisan.
You know, like a frog dissected by medical students...
Well, i noticed that nothing much is expected from a second stringer...
Kon maka-goal ko, mao kay wala gatinarong ang pikas team
Kon maka-goal ko, mao kay naay nasayop sa ilang depensa
Kon maka-goal ko, mao kay nasipyat ang goalkeeper
Tingali kon maka-goal ko, taghap ra tingali, sa?
Unsa man jud? Di ko pwede ka-goal?!
Or... naka-goal ba jud ko?
Or was everything just an optical illusion?
Naa tingali koy psychosis, sa?
Living in a world of make believe...

Why am i always in the second string, a substitute, a bench warmer?
No matter how much i tried to elevate my status,
Bisan ikapila pa ko magpakitang gilas sa field,
I'm always in the second string.
Second string... second string.. second string..!!!
Yeah, masayop sab ko kadaghan...
Apan masayop man jud tang tanan.
Are my mistakes really that grave that even my accomplishments are ignored?
Please tell me I am cursed :(

I get emotional because i care.
I care for this beautiful fuckin game called football.
I want to win too, to be the best.
I'm not just some athlete who rely on skills
I play based on my emotions
I tell you, reverse pyschology wont work for me
It's in the way i feel...
When i am nervous, scared, and or insecure,
I am just as good as nothing. It's as if I know nothing.
But when i am happy, confident, and or intensely mad,
That is when i play best.

There was this performance by preschoolers. The audience were the parents. Then the children's teacher (who looked exactly like Jessica Alba) told them to get out of the stage and give the audience oral sex . I was kind of shocked but continued to watch anyway as the little children made their way to the audience. The teacher was watching them then a co-teacher interrupted. She said it's the teacher's birthday and the children formed a Happy-Birthday for the teacher and sang in the audience. It was a surprised greeting. It made the teacher really happy. They forgot about giving oral and the little children exited. I heard some guys from the audience let out a sigh of disappointment

My father said to me that he wouldnt be able to buy me the eos20D. I was sad. There was my teacher and I borrowed an slr camera from him. It was a JVC. I had to return it the next day. I took pictures of nature and people. Something happened I dont remember. The camera was always been charged. I checked the LCD and i could find myself in the pictures. I was wearing my highschool uniform in all of them.

There was a tragedy and many died. I dunno if my relatives died... but there was this particular woman who was really crying. It sound so sad. She was sort of on top of a a ladder on a tree. Her beloved died. She kept on crying and crying and looking at the distance. I cried too. It's as if i was her, I felt her pain.

I thought it was almost 6am so i got out of bed to go to the office adjacent to our house. It was creepy outside. I was scared. I think they were creatures not from this world. I took the keys to open the door. I was really scared but i didnt show it. When i was inside, it was different. I checkedthe time and it was already 6:59am. I wondered why. The sun isnt up yet. It's as if it's still 4am. Then I called my mother I was really getting scared.

And then I woke up.
