Airing soon: 3rd CWC Nationals

...and produced by myself! O-kay, it WAS not that difficult... Not as simple as writing's copying+pasting but similar in nature. Of course, of course a little bit of imagination and creativity will surely help... Last month, i went to Camarines Sur to cover the 3rd Philippine Cable Wakeboarding Nationals as a pseudoproducer, because all other actual segment producers of our team were assigned to other shoots. As all features/news coverage goes, it is the (field) producer who does the "on-line/off-line" editing along with the editor so i found myself in front of an avid computer for the past two weeks or so.

To compare, it's just basically putting images together and hope you have one good story told after it's all said and done (the right term is: ... after all is edited and cut and paste and dragged and cut and dragged and inserted and re-inserted and cut and paste...)

i guess i can be called a writer-slash-researcher-slash-producer now. At least for the last couple of weeks or until the next project when i insist that i should be in front of that avid computer again.

The HOTSPOT feature (2-3 minutes sports highlights) airs over Solar Sports on a staggered basis this week. No time has been set yet, hopefully people get to watch it.

Final note: i'd like to emphasize the "not that difficult to be a producer" part... Because Solar has some of the best editors (Of course, i am biased) and they make the job a lot easier for the producers. Ron (del Mundo)--- the nicest editor you'd ever meet (Not too nice though, he hates alcohol these days and that means he chooses not to join the office drinking sprees) guided me through the process and i learned a thing or two about editing and producing. i could sure get used to this, if you know what i mean...

Head-for-content-slash-writer-slash-reasercher-slash... Loving the sound of that.

Define "busy"...

It's a five minute (or even less) chat.

Am not whining. Really, am not.
(And it's not even close to sarcasm)
It's not like i am asking for the rest of this lifetime with you.
Just a little over five minutes next time will do.
Or better yet maybe meet you...
See you...
Meet you...
See you...
Meet you.
See You.

Oh Well vs. Oh Fuck Moments

The oh well moment has just been upgraded to oh fuck moment. Noel "The Old Man" Nacianceno says he understands. But i do NOT. There's the rub.

And oh, a "hey"...

The oh fuck moment has just been reverted! Woot. i will try to enjoy the five-minute oh-well moment.

Beer Complaint

And yet another one for today... For Don Gallardo naman...

Man complains after beer makes him drunk

A Romanian man has lodged an official complaint with the local trading standards agency after he got drunk on a single can of beer.

Iancu Boroi, 35, said he had bought the beer at a local supermarket in Arges in southern Romania but was so drunk after drinking just one can that he nearly passed out.

He said: "I am more than capable of holding my drink and it is ridiculous to think one can of beer can get me so drunk.

"There must have been something wrong with it and I am demanding compensation."

He has written to Romania's Consumer Protection Office demanding they investigate the case.

Ok, maybe the guy is just plain crazy and just wants extra beer... But got to be impressed with the effort. Right, Don?!

Borederline Insanity Newsbreakers: 12 y.o.Favre fan finally...

Time to search news--- bizarre, bold and the simply borderline insane piece of information around the internet! For what use and what purpose? Well, just to realize that indeed "we are not special"... That somewhere, somehow some people are living crazier lives than ours. (And oh, these are real news, just click on the title for the link)

Connecticut boy takes off Favre jersey for good after four years

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Finally, David Witthoft shunned his Brett Favre jersey for the first time in 1,581 days.

The Ridgefield, Conn. boy, 12, wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. David's father, Chuck Witthoft, said Monday that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23 - his 12th birthday.

Witthoft conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line.

Witthoft first gained national attention three years ago, and attended his first Packers game in December. He's also planning to attend the Sept. 8 game when the Packers retire Favre's No. 4.
His mother, Carolyn, had washed the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.

Take that Christian Castillo!--- Christian is a friend of mine who is supposedly a Favre-addict. Well, Christian looks very normal compared to the 12-year-old David.
