GenSan Garden Invasion

Our topic is articulating vision, mission, and values.  To make our class entertaining as much as educational, our instructor told us to find a unique concept to report the topics assigned on each groups.  We are the tenth reporter and guess what, we ran out of concepts.  Our classmates spoofed TV shows and commercials, used puppets, made variety shows, etc.  Well, last option for us was to make an entertaining documentation (not funny… entertaining is relative…).  We started it by interviewing some professors who are experts of the topic.  Next thing we did was we surveyed students in our college and asked their opinions on some issues, made our own show exhibiting the matters of our reports, and dubbed some funny horror comedy movie making the dialog in lined with the topic.

The next challenge will be editing all the videos.  Well, that will be my next concern.  I love the editing job that is why it does not matter to me working this out all day, all night.  If a thing interests me, I would spend almost all of my time for it.

The last presentation is our spoof on a famous TV news-casting program, the venue is in GenSan Gardeners’ Coop., and we took it on February 16. That day, I was excited to go to our spot and introduce the script that I made the whole night.  I came late though.  When I arrived, I saw my group mates walking away from the meeting place.  I thought at first that it was a going-home gesture but I knew they were not that strict to leave me there… after all I was and only am the director…haha

There was Jerica.  She was in her status quo—simple jeans, T-shirt, sweater, and a big shoulder bag.  When you see her, you will already know that she is not an ordinary student.  She is the top of the class, and I admire her for being so humble in such acclamation.

There was Hannah: a very different Hannah.  Usually, she wears conservative long skirt and a tight cardigan that makes her sophisticatedly simple. However, that day, I saw her in a tight skinny jeans and a sexy maroon shirt.  She was prepared for the taping perhaps.

It turned out to be more than just a taping.  I took pictures of different varieties of flowers and ornaments, which I even do not know the names. I love photography though I do not have my own camera.  I plan to buy in the near future.  I regret when there are moments worth capturing and yet I could not, so that day, using Jerica’s, I captured anything worth taking.

We interviewed people as we go through.  We walked around the garden to find some persons that could help us out.  Most of them were refusing at first but after a bit of chitchats and encouragements, they faced the cam and talked.  It was scripted then; I made all the interviewees’ answers.  Of course, we made it sure that they know what were their answers for.

I barely go out during weekends, but for the subject, I have willed to do so. I mingled with some people I hardly knew and I showed off myself to public. Though the activity was very tiring and we had done so many takes, it was really fun. I had a happy time with my group mates. Things were a bit different but it was worth it. That indeed was a great day.
