surprisingly, i've remembered my password to this account. however, if i have to be completely honest, i had a couple of tries before success. a couple of years have come and gone since my last post. not even sure if anyone relevant still looks me up here.

i'm planning on starting a new blog. a new chapter. please join me.

Hello World

4/28/07 03:48 pm - thoughts

well school has officially ended and all deadlines have been met. man, i love this feeling. unfortunately right after my last exam i had to get straight to work cuz derek and i were still in the middle of the hiring process in the theatre. anyhow we were able to hire 19 new people for the summer blockbuster season and had training all week long. don't get me wrong, i love working there for the sake of the environment and people, but after taking those 2 weeks off from work (exam week) i wasn't too excited going back and getting down to business. so we've been doing a lot of training this week and after a while, the stuff you're teaching the newbies become repetitive, esp since we can't train everyone at the same time and we usually end up splitting the group up to smaller groups. so we've been gearing up for the upcomming summer holiday. starting as of next week, we can expect every week to be busy as hell beginning with spiderman 3.
may 4 - spiderman 3
may 11 - 28 weeks later
may 18 - sherk 3rd
may 25 - pirates 3
and thats just may, wait till june and july comes out
harry potter
fantastic 4
transformers
simpsons

besides from working at the theatre, as of monday i'd basically be working full time as an intern for que-net media. that's gonna last for the entire 4 months of summer, 5 days a week, 8-5. got to say that i'm really exicted about this but at the same time sad that i can't have a longer break before starting out. doesn't really matter anyway now cuz i expected my 3rd year summer to be dedicated to this internship. anyhow, i expected to be really fun. luckily i'll also be working with another fellow GCMer there - there are 4 interns altogether, 2 from GCM (myself included) and 2 more from other colleges/universities - so it'll be great meet new people. i just hope that they don't expect us to be pros and know how to do everything they say. the worse case scenerio would be them tell me to do trapping or cropping or touchups or preflighting, etc without any proper training. cuz afterall i am placed in the prepress department and that is what i'm expected to do. but honestly, i think i would perfer working in the creative department such as designing sets, making props, setups for studio work, etc. i'm afterall a more hands-on creative person, atleast what i like to think. luckily they said that us interns would be rotating around the company so then we get a better understanding of the different departments.

its gonna be one interesting summer. more updates in the following week!

4/25/06 12:21 pm - e) all of the above

a little recap on the status of my exams...

4 done, 2 to go.

last wednesday was my first exam date. had 2 that day: gra420..the infamous finishing and binding course and acc406..accounting management. 420 was okay, considering it was held at 8am. by the time that was done (almost) everyone was panicing for the acc exam later that day at 7:30 at the mtcc. that meant we had an 8hour break in between exams. anyway, celebrated helen's birthday and proceeded cramming for acc. i honestly think i've learned more in those 8hours than i have learned in the actual lectures. lectures were pretty horrible. thursday nights from 6:30 - 9:30 (which made my thursdays the longest days i've had to spend at shool, with 12 hours). well i dont wanna jinx my chance at passing that course so i'm not gonna talk about the exam.

day two of exams were yesterday (monday). 2 exams again. and it started with another 8am one too. this time we had 424 and 423. 424, printing processes, to sum it up was pretty much bad. the first wave of multiple choice was a breeze, but when in hell did we learn a lot about imposition (my weakness)?! anyway, didnt finish that until 10:45 and right after i headed myself to the library to cram fro the 423 exam. lets just say i hadn't touched ANY of the material until then. the exam started at 4 which gave me a not-so-good 4 hours to learn everything since january. thank god there were no equations or that shit to memorize, but this class was mainly focused on imposition and pre-press junk ie photoshop. anyway, recalling our final for first term, the exam was pretty easy (new prof and all). a lot of the answers were all of the above, and it was really just simple definition stuff. well i would've thought that other profs would tell him that the exams were too easy, but i guess no one did. cuz heck, of the 105 multiple choice questions, 80 percent of them probably had a choice that was "All of the above". and you guessed it, the answer was just that! with an exception of 4 or 5 that were not. it was a 6 hour exam. people started finishing in 30mins. i left in 45mins. ... i thought we were getting punk'd.

well there goes 2 days of exams with 4 completed. 2 more to go. wednesday at 12pm @ the mtcc and thursday @ 8am (again..i think the people who made up the schedule hate us, 2 double day exams and 3 8am ones). wednesday i've got pop culture which i'm not too worried about. the prof has mentioned that her previous exams were pretty easy, and than people finish in 15 mins. maybe sh'es exagerating a little, but then again it is only 50 multiple choice. but thursday's exam is gonna be a toughie. 422..electronic document design II. it's basically web coding, macromedia flash, imovie and all that fun stuff that apparently everyone thinks i'm a pro at.
well, got a long day ahead. lets see when i actually get motivated to start studying.

good luck to those who still have exams. and to those that are don't...curse youuuuuuuuuuu..=)

422 website assignment...no i didn't make this on my own, and no i won't make one for you

3/15/06 12:09 pm - Hating this

been skipping a couple classes this week. one on monday, and two today. but honestly it's pretty pointless for me to go when all the profs do is basically read from the slides that i can print out myself. sigh, got a couple of essays to do by the end of the week. popular culture essay on gender stereotpyes in the film Big Momma's House 2 and a 3000 words report on asp, jsp, php for electronic document design. both are worth a hefty amount so i got lots to do in the next 2 days.

hating school. i wish all this would end soon! just over a month to go... gotta make it to the end.

OFFICIAL X3 TRAILER



comon' may 26....

3/1/06 07:56 pm - i dont want to jinx anything but...

what a joke. studied like a madman for 322 midterm.
the main focus for the term was maining html/xhtml/java/java script.
it's a good thing i've been playing with this stuff in the past otherwise i would've been lost.
25 MC, finished in less than 10mins. most of the questions were concepts and definitions, not the in-depth code deconstructing questions i was expecting.

moving on to 320. aka binding and finishing - i laugh everytime i mention i take this course.
advanced folding techniques
buckle plates, page positioning
stitching and staples
lips
stitcher to trimmer to delivery
warehouse: material handling and fulfillment
embossing and stamping

ya, interesting topics eh?
now ignore me while i study how to fold paper.

2/26/06 11:14 pm - over already?

well deserved break? didn't really do anything productive this whole week. i know i only have myself to blame for this but i don't really care. i didn't even work a lot so i don't know where all my time went. anyway class resumes tomorrow and i got a midterm from 4-5. of fucking shit, it's only popular culture so it shouldn't be that bad. i actually just finished printing the notes from online. atleast i did do that to kick start...



lost all my drive
