Saturday
Last Monday, I recieved a text message from KNN. They are welcoming me to the Manila Bureau. Cheers for me!!! Now I know that things happen when you least expect it. Ate Tin told us that they will inform us if we got in within one week. A week had already passed since the screening so I didn't expect that I was actually accepted. So I attended the first day of training yesterday. We were trained in handling the camera, we were introduced to our new "friend" the tripod, we were taught about the different camera angles and movements. Then we were divided into groups and we got to shoot outside. I got to do a stand-upper. But of course, I wasn't very good...yet. And guess what, our lunch is free and we were given cash depending on how much our transportation costs. So it's like having a suweldo 'cause the 200 php given to me is already in my piggy bank. Then we watched Batman Begins and, for the first time, the Dark Knight has failed to entertain me. The movie is simply crap.
So, that is my KNN training Day 1 and I can't wait to go back next week 'cause it's going to be script writing next week! Yay!

Sunday(today)
Haven't done my homework in Filipino yet. I can't understand the point in studying Filipino when we are Filipino. Arrgh!
We went to SM Megamall Cinema 7 to watch GMA 7's "Sine Totoo", a collection of the best doucumentaries and programs from GMA News and Public Affairs. And you know what I promised myself today? That I'm not gonna complain about my skinny arms because there's children all over the country who are literally just buto't balat. I'm not gonna complain that I'm short because I saw a boy aged 14 years old whose weight is that of a 2-year-old boy and can easily be mistaken as a 6-year-old 'cause of his height. From now on I'm gonna eat whatever our maid or my dad prepare for me. Except dinuguan, paksiw, adobong pusit or whatever pusit and anything that I don't, and am not planning to eat. Ahihi. Anyway, I saw a kid who wasn't given the chance to drink any kind of milk when he was an infant and was then given coffee. And there are people who doesn't get enough nutrients needed by their body from the food they eat. And because of that, the children, if not malnourished, has pneumonia or TB.
It really is sad to think that while thousands of people spend their money drinking expensive coffee in Starbucks, covering their faces with expensive cosmetics and having expensive surgeries done on their body to make it perfect, millions of other people in our country lives in empty container vans, has no permanent houses and looks for food in garbages.
