MYX-ed Plans and Goals for 2010

15 Replies

I have three planners beside my laptop as I type this entry – one is the red 2009 Starbucks Planner that I used last year (which now acts as my mousepad), the 2010 Starbucks Planner (which I claimed before at the third week of November) and the 2010 Belle de Jour Planner I bought from Powerbooks last weekend.To be honest, I am still itching to get the 2010 This Journal Will Actually Change Someone’s Life because of the interesting holidays written in there and organized layout as I’ve seen in Jade’s house last month.

What are my Plans and Goals for 2010? May this planner help me.

What are my Plans and Goals for 2010? May this planner help me.

Too many planners, eh? I guess having a number of planners is perfectly fine as long as you use them. I decided to use the Belle de Jour Planner for appointments and important details and the Starbucks Planner for my expenses (i badly need this T_T).

What is the use of having a planner if you don’t really have any goals at all? Ano yan, display? Of course not 😛 I recently came up with a list of my Plans and Goals for the Year of the Tiger. I don’t really want to make a New Year’s Resolution since I tend to break them immediately. Maybe listing down your goals and plans for 2010 will be better, right?

Are you interested to know my Myx-ed Plans and Goals for twentyten? Read on!

Why I Will Never Forget 2009

15 Replies

Wow. It’s 2010 already? I can’t believe that I am now trying my very best to write a blog entry about 2009. I remember writing my 2008 Year Ender post the other year with some disappointments related to my career (Being jobless at Christmas Day gives you a week of weakness, I swear!). I thought it’s the end of the world for me (uhm, not really. I’m a fighter, baby!). I am happy to inform you though that I started 2009 with much enthusiasm and ended it with a big smile on my face.

January 2009 - Kuya Bunso Cast and Crew

January 2009 - Kuya Bunso Cast and Crew

It was in January where I finally decided to push through with my passion in film making. With the script I worked on during my stay at Sinelab, I managed to talk to some of my blogger friends to help me out with my first film entitled Kuya Bunso. With Jehzeel and Cai and the rest of the Nyoks, I did push through with my first film in a limited budget. I really can’t believe I was able to write, produce and direct the film. I wanted to join a short film festival that time, but I didn’t anticipate the fact that post-production is the most expensive and time-consuming part. My 24 minute debut film made me cry when i first saw it. I mean, yeah. I really cried T_T. I owned a new phone too and took a lot of camwhore pics with the nyoks. I bought a lot of domains that month which proved that i am an impulsive domain buyer lolz 😛

Though I want to blog about everything right now, I think i really can’t. I am still overwhelmed with the wonderful developments in my life, but to give you a glimpse, here’s a random bulleted list update:

Short Film Screening at Tomato Bomb’s Eksena

9 Replies

December 15, 2009 is a memorable day for me as a film maker. Why? Because for the first time, my short films entitled Kuya Bunso and The 12th of June were shown in a non-blogger event. Thanks to Mr. Mike Dagnalan (Isnats, River of Dreams, Karoler), who serves as one of my mentors at the Sinelab Scriptwriting Workshop for inviting me to be a part of this month’s Eksena at Tomato Bomb.

I invited some of my blogger friends (mostly part of the production team) two nights before the film showing. I am quite confident because the feedback in the Davao Bloggers screening was positive. In fact, half of them preferred Kuya Bunso though most of the girls preferred The 12th of June for obvious reasons 🙂

Bittersweet November - Just like a box of assorted chocolates

On my so-called secret blog, I wrote an entry about the heartaches the month of November gave me on the first week. Let’s just say that things didn’t go my way. Expectations and goals were not met. I even ranted that November has always been a bad month for me.

But I was wrong.

This month is about to end, but before I say hello to December, I would like to share some of my realizations made in the past few weeks….

Isa sa mga hinahangaan kong komedyante ngayon ay si Ramon Bautista. Sa katunayan nga’y minsan ko na rin siyang nagawan ng write-up sa tabloid. Sino ba naman ang hindi maaaliw sa kanyang natatanging pamamaraan ng pagpapatawa?

Yehuda Berg Live in Manila!

Leave a reply

The Power of Kabbalah and The 72 names of God author Yehuda Berg is coming to Manila this coming January 18, 2010  Monday, 7:00PM at Rockwell Tent, Rockwell Drive Corner Estrella Street Rockwell Center , Makati. The best-selling author will launch his new book entitled The Power to Change Everything. He will also give a short lecture about his new book that will surely inspire the Kabbalah believers. The book was first launched in the US last November 9, though Yehuda Berg chose the Philippines for its first Asian release due to the tragedy we had gone through in the past few months.

kabbalah-the-power-to-change-everything

The Power to Change Everything  is said to focus more on how our consciousness and our actions shapes determine the quality of our lives, and the condition of our world.

According to Yehuda, the world has reached a turning point in history and we can either choose to change, or remain the same and watch things get worse. Our short-term thinking and lack of awareness of personal power is wreaking havoc on the planet. It is the reason why he wrote the book The Power to Change Everything – which deals with our problems related to the environment, religion, politics, economy and our blind spots.

Letting Go and Moving On

7 Replies

A few hours ago, a female close friend and i spent the night talking about how frustrated i am in accomplishing a lot of task. See, I want to do a lot of things. I want to do a lot of projects. I want to write new scripts. I want to produce new short films. I want to attend cooking classes. I want to update my neglected blogs. I want to take up driving lessons. I want to go to Dagupan and just spend the weekend with my grandparents. I want a new laptop. I want a new dress. I want to go to the derma. I want to have my hair fixed. I want to try a new sport. I want to try a lot of things. So many things to do, so little time. So many ideas, so little funds.

Letting Go and Moving On

Where should i go?

I think I am in the stage wherein i am trying to figure out which should i do first. I am a very artistic person (or should i say i believe i am) and i’ve been going through a lot of frustrations lately mostly related to my plans. I want to pursue a lot of things that i end up getting worried or upset. The worst thing there is i had no one to talk to. Yes, my blogger friends are online all the time, but meh, face-to-face interaction is still different.
