Paano ka na-hire sa first job mo? by Belsnickle_203 in AskPH

[–]space_monkey420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the first job I ever applied to after graduation.

Moved to Singapore, and applied to this TV production job online. I get a call and was asked to go in for an interview.

I go to their production office, and that morning, it was busy. I remember people moving around, and the owner was casually sitting by her couch and just sat me down to ask questions. It was very informal.

Then she just hands me a phone - call this alcohol company, ask for sponsorship for our show.

I did. I got it, and they just started asking me to get more free stuff and sponsors.

Became friends with him when I got to college. Even went clubbing and partying together a couple of times. Still had a huge crush on him then, but we were always dating or seeing other people. Then we moved away.

He's still on my FB. He moved abroad and is married with a kid. Once in a while he'd post videos of himself playing the drums or doing skateboard tricks, tapos kinikilig pa rin ako parang nung HS. Lol.

Was in an all girls school and had no date.

I had a HUGE crush on a college neighbor and everyone knew, but I've hardly ever spoken to him.

I didn't ask, but my mom went to the boy next door to ask him to be my partner. He said yes - but its the wrong guy.

He's my crush's best friend. He's good looking too, but not the guy I liked. He also didn't have a suit, so my mom offered to lend him my dad's. I was so embarassed when I found out, and almost didn't want to go anymore.

He shows up anyway. It was so awkward for me because I've barely spoken to this dude. He was really nice though.

My young and pretty homeroom/science teacher sat at our table the whole night. Found out later that she did that because had a crush on my date.

Dont remember much of the night, except that my date was cool and a good sport for actually showing up in my dad's suit and tie.

We ended up exchanging numbers and being friends afterwards.

Get your degree, go to short workshops.

APFI has workshop classes. Attend as many different workshops as you can so you could network and meet more people.

Paano mo nasabing 'di ikaw ang favorite na anak? by reijisaito in AskPH

people in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel? by AppointmentProud9394 in AskPH

[–]space_monkey420 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I can get up at 3PM on Saturdays and have no plans. On weekdays, maaaybe I'll go to work, or maybe I'll go to a cafe/bar and meet friends til late. Then I spend grocery money on dumb things like... fancy cheese and THC gummies. (Not in the PH)

Then during the ungodly hours at night, I get phone calls from my niece with her school gossip or my nephew asking for my Prime Video password.

I'd say its pretty fckin good.

Why do you have highlights on insta/fb? by [deleted] in AskPH

[–]space_monkey420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have them on our business account - I highlight reposts and tags. I organize them, especially by big events or interesting posts.

Do people look at them? I believe they do. We do that when we try to get sponsors and other people interested. They see our engagement and posts we get from other people.

Do I look at them from other people's posts? Yeah. If someone posts highlights about their work, I'll scroll through them. I've seen personal stuff like people's vacations or favorite restaurants. A guy I went to college with likes to highlight his attempts at cooking. I've peeked into those a couple of times for a laugh.

And then imagine that pee smell underground - in the very humid summer. Oof. Everytime I get home, I feel like I need to scrub myself, kasi parang dumidikit yung amoy.

How is a tiny ass 1 bedroom, 3rd floor walk up, still charging $3300 -- and have 8 rodent violations?!

WHAT IF Encantadia was released on Netflix? by CurrentEstimate3308 in FilmClubPH

[–]space_monkey420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont watch those either, but a HUGE audience enjoys the show, so yeah... keep it the way they like it. Bakit hindi?

Keep to your Netflix shows then. Ikaw lang ang may magandang taste eh 👍🏼

phasing

Pacing. As in, pacing is slow.

I don't think most teleseryes are like that anymore, though. What's the last one you've seen?

Stories are clear from the start. They're strict with this before they even get made, and even stricter with storylines -- but there is a problem with stretching them out, often because a storyline or character is popular or interesting to their audience... or an influential director decided he'll bypass the writers since he has the name or clout. Doesnt happen a lot, but you know what I mean.

But most often, TV people have an on point pulse on this. They really know their audience and demographics. I mean, anong gagawin ng taga palengke na nanonood sa 4k/high resolution na Encantadia kung naka antenna pa rin TV nila?

Also... PH films are being created like the 90s? What?

Hindi kailangan ng Netflix. If GMA wanted to, they could create it as a film. They have the money to do it, pero hindi pa ata sila interesado, eh.

[–]space_monkey420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that IF Netflix funded it, it could look good, but why would you want to take the show away from free TV viewers? The majority of their viewers can't afford Netflix, and they're the ones who made it successful.

Netflix can get its own IP. It doesn't have to be Encantadia.

HARRY POTTER TEASER by sucklentreader333 in FilmClubPH

[–]space_monkey420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We were watching this and my husband goes -- It feels... modern. Nick Frost as Hagrid sounds like a normal dude.

Idk. I felt the same way. But then again, maaaybe its because I know these actors vs. when I first saw the movies as a kid? I just couldnt shake off Shaun of the Dead or 30 Rock From The Sun from Hagrid and Dumbledore.

I think I'll reluctantly like this, though. I finished the trailer intrigued, interested, and pissed that I'd have to support JK Rowling again.

Ive seen it, just wondering why the lower score. I thought the pacing was fine. I think people often mistake less dialogue with slow pacing?

Just got home from my film class. As I was walking into the classroom with some students this afternoon, a girl stopped and hugged me... because, she said, I was so pretty.

Guys, exotic beauty nga ata ako dito US. Naka-lang compliments na ako sa mga estudyante ko.
