The PROJECT52WEEKS Dilemma
A few nights ago, I tweeted, plurked and posted a Facebook status about my intention of shutting down Project52Weeks. It is my video blog wherein I originally planned to make at least 52 short films for 2010. All of my friends were enthusiastic about it. They were pitching ideas and most of them participated in my shorties.
Isasara ko ba talaga ang P52W? Gusto mo bang sagutin ko talaga 'yan?
Unfortunately, I lost track. I wanted to make it a once-a-week commitment. Work, travel and lack of time are the main reasons why I wasn’t able to update much. I also blame YouTube for giving me uploading headaches at times. I have some videos taken from my trips and random chorvas with friends. I need to fix them though before I present them and hopefully help in filling out my backlogs (I think I am 12 weeks delayed. FML.)
Anyway, I will NOT close PROJECT52WEEKS. Sayang eh. I’m thinking of filling out my backlogs then restart over again.
Staying at Jupiter Suites Makati
The last Saturday of January was pretty tiring yet fulfilling day on my part. Let’s just say that I am working on a very serious project that day. My team and I had to go to San Juan, then to Makati then back to San Juan again. The traffic jam added to the stress and worries of each and every one of us. I’m just lucky that all the crew members were dedicated to their temporary roles that day.
Tired but Happy at Jupiter Suites Makati
At around 4pm, we found ourselves working at Jupiter Suites Makati. It is one of the most-recommended budget hotels in Makati by the bloggers. It is located at the corner of Makati Avenue and Jupiter Suites. We checked the rates of Jupiter Suites and it really suits those who wants to go and stay in Makati without spending too much money.
PROJECT52WEEKS.COM – 52 Weeks, 52 Short Films
After acquiring my very own Panasonic DMC-LX3 as a Christmas gift to myself, I started my very own photoblog at Tumblr called LX3 Moments, wherein I will be posting one photo a day with a corresponding information about the photo. It is a known fact in the bloggers that photo hobbyist started with their own Project 365 Days.
Micamyx's Project52Weeks starts now!
Want to know the real reason why I chose the LX3 instead of buying another type of camera? I love it because it is handy, easy to use and I can possibly take HD clips. I am not a professional photographer. In fact, I don’t even plan to put watermarks on my photos (unless maybe if i am not as lazy as I am today). I simply want a good camera. That’s it.
Ok, enough of that 
Just last week, I mentioned to a friend that I am planning to start with my own online video blogging project. My aim for this one is to shoot at least one short film using my Panasonic DMC-LX3. I want it to be on-the-spot and spontaneous. I bought the domain right away and launched the site last Sunday
What’s in store for The 12th of June?
Last January, I produced and directed my first ever short film called Kuya Bunso. The story evolves around two siblings named Jess (Jehzeel Laurente) and Jackie (Cai Abbass). The eldest is a twenty something special child while the youngest is a goal-driven seventeen year old. I used the script I wrote for the Sinelab workshop I attended last year. I am happy with the outcome of the project because my blogger friends helped me out in terms of agreeing to do the film for free and for helping me out with the technicalities.

Three months ago, I wrote a script about a virtual assistant who is about to face her fears on a specific date. The title of the short film is The 12th of June. It is somewhat similar with one of my blog entries I wrote way back in June.

To be honest, I wrote the script at a coffee shop with a pen and paper. I was a bit emotional that day. Though the laptop can make things easier for me, nothing beats writing with the use of pen and paper especially when creative juices out of your angst starts pouring in.
