Seven Stuff

Why are we inspired to chase our dream? for me, the answer remains heartfelt. It started within us and we have the choice to follow it with hope.

Having an online diary like this little blog in the vast realm of cyberspace, we have the freedom and outlet to express our sentiments day after day or chronicle our journey every step of the way. As a team of born artists and creative souls, we realize that being bonded together has relevent responsiblities and commitment to follow. We are not just a group of people, we are friends as well. In friendship, we've got to learn to trust each other and open our heart to everybody in the team who wanted to express themselves.

So what inspired us to dream? for us, we just love what we do and understand each other in an unconditional way. I know we're not perfect and no friendship is perfect but we are willing to take the chance until we get closer to our dream.

Right now, there are seven things that makes Kuris Animators inspired to live, to dream and enjoy each other's company:

SEVEN Racil Kenshin invited the group to take a trip to Aklan and visit her in their fiesta on June 23. We wish we could be there to be with our precious little girl in the group

who is a wise budget officer, hehe. Marx and the rest of the gang missed her little blabbering during those tough times we've been through. I'll text you girl if we are sure to come, okay!

SIX Everybody agreed: we love to watch the new Incredible Hulk Marvel movie this week (June 13-showing date worldwide). Everybody wishes me to have lots of money or could have my allowance so that I could afford to treat the whole group to watch the film at SM Cinema. Bryan and Jay can't wait to see how the new Hulk smash tall buildings and comes out in mean-green-face.

FIVE Marx and Lyndon enjoyed reading my new X-men comicbooks which was bought by my brother as a gift. They go crazy over Jim Lee's dynamic artworks in X-men#2. In fact, they would love to copy his artistic style

and stroke as well. Relax guys, you'll get it better if you have patience to practice, hehe.

FOUR The Kurisans love to open the blog every time they are free from work. Yes, they are overwhelmed to the positive and encouraging response to the interviews, artworks and other stuff in this blog.

I think we don't need to have our own website soon since this blog gave us a lot of inspiration. But then, the plan to have a website isn't going to be shelved soon because we will have it in no time. I swear.

It's going to be much better than most people are expecting even the nega peeps who reads this blog. They won't sleep until this space is shut down. Well, nega peeps your dream isn't gonna happen soon, hehe!

THREE One of our former mentor invited us to showcase our artworks and animated projects again for a special exhibit which he didn't mention yet where or when. But he gave us a deadline until Saturday, June 14 to submit the requirements. Sometimes, we are a bit frustrated with exhibits because we're not always getting the reward for our artwork and expectations. Some of our members really need a stable job or steady project to continue their living. It would be better for them if their source of income would be related to animation or just any art-related work as long as the whole team sticks together. But we have to deal with the realities of life. Iloilo is not yet a haven for animators and good opportunities is not much available here. But God has its own way to keep us together... we can make it.

TWO Urduja fever is here to stay (nationwide film release-June 18). Yes, the Kuris guys are excited to watch the film. Why can't we resist the excitement and applause? Why not, it's another milestone for Filipino animators who wanted to show the world what they can really do with their gifts. We don't care if others are clamouring as Walt Disney copycat... who knows there might be unrecognized Filipino animators involved in those films done by Disney in the past. This is our time to have our very own Filipino animated movie and we will surely watch it at SM Cinema.

ONE The Kuris project boys are waiting for their project salary this week. Knowing that they have risked and did their best, we are inspired by their optimism and perseverance to prove their talent further. As for the selected few members who were asked to join the expanding special project (Tatang, Lyndon, Elson and Amado), we are hoping to experience the pressure and fun being together. We are open to improve our skills and learn new things through the upcoming project. We know that we are somehow ready to go to the next level. But behind all of these project excitement, the rest of us are asking Jay, Bryan and Marx not to forget their promise to treat us after getting their pay. We wont' rest until they fulfill it, hehe!

P.S: If you don't like what you read here-- don't open our blog, you'll gonna get migraines if you internalize our bloggings. At least we can "walk straight" without traces of angst in our faces and could tell ourselves that we don't need to hide in anonymity while eaten deep inside by envy. Take it easy and embrace reality.
