Nice screen shot Marx... get ready Elson you'll gonna beat me again...hehe, I'm a loser this time again!


Weekend break



After a whole week of gruelling pressure and responsibilities, we are taking everything so easy and one step at a time. The Kuris "specialproject" guys--Bryan, Marx and Jaylord are catching up with their deadlines. Amado and Dads can't find time to have a break from their part time jobs. Janelyn and Racil are all at the comfort of their homes texting us to be always cool. Elson is doing almost half of the Lapis storyboard. I was busy doing both the finalization of Lapis script and the stunning presentation for Summer Bud's Search 2008 scheduled on May 22. On top of everything, we were contented with what we achieve personally and share all the good times we had in life.
May 24, saturday morning, 8:30 AM, Sir K was texting me to return the projector I borrowed. I just arrived from Bacolod to attend a gathering of artists there and presented our animated works. I hurriedly go the school and returned the projector. Minutes later, Elson was texting me--"Nel, tapos ko na ang storyboard ka Lapis, wer k na?". "Ok ara na"--I texted back. I was astonished by his artistic style in making the storyboard of Lapis. I knew this guy has so much potential even way back those days when he created the design for TASI.
After a short chat, we decided to meet Marx in their home. Since it is the annual fiesta of La Paz that day, the three of us shared their little "handa" for us. We shared a meal full of talk and fun. We talk about the positive and bad comments we got in this blog lately. But the truth is, we are not bothered becuase I told them that we are now picking up readership and attention. If the bad comments keep pouring...the positive comments are pouring like rain as well. So there are lots of people in this city who believe and appreciate what we do. Take for example our latest participation in Summer Bud's Search 2008, the peeps in Bo. Obrero got blown away by our simple 3D animation and loved our Lapis or Bequest trailers. I will write a great concluding article about it soon. Just check it out here, OK.
After a few hours, we decided to unwind at Grecel's just a few blocks from Marx's house. Elson bought a bottle of coke for us to share. Marx had fun again taking pics from my cellphone camera and me...well i can't resist to play the "piso-piso" arcade games beside us. As usual, I recall my younger days when I got hooked with this kind of game. I was always on top of the game even if the characters I bring are all-female heroes like Rogue, Storm or Cammy. My competitors are always having a rough time breaking my fighting techniques. But that was in the past and it feels good to look back with a smile in my face. Elson challenged me and I decided to let him win, hehe. Marx suddenly said---"gapapirde-pirde lang na si Ronelo pero kon tuod-tuoron ya tapos ka gid, hehe". But I just give in and let Elson win. It's just a game and sometimes we just let the odds overtake us. The best thing about it is to play the game fair and square.
So commentators in this blog keep your postive and even the negative thoughts pour in. You make us stronger and better every time you make us smile with your blazing thoughts. "By the way, where's Bryan and Jaylord?", I asked Marx. "They're in Bora for a short vacation with their project heads, by Monday, they will be back to resume work", he said. "But why didn't you go with them?", I asked again. "I just want to rest, that's all", he laugh candidly.
That evening, we watched "Step Up 2: The Streets" on my lapotop. It was one of the best maverick films this year, I must say. It's another dance-themed movie with great story twist, dance performances and essense. It reminds us of our bonding and how we survived the torments of fate. Promise, I'll write a good article about it here in our blog and my personal my blog (http://www.rslphoenix.blogspot.com/) few days from now.
