21 locations in the past 1 and a half weeks. Its been hectic as fuck doing Locals Recommend and I still have 39 to go. Aiming to finish up everything by 14 July so I can resume on the EssaiveE stuff.

I finally got my results, missed first class by 1.3 points...fucking pathetic but I hope the scholarship application goes through, I REALLY want to do level 3.

Worked out a great idea via a collaboration with V and an NYU acting student. A film called "Purgatory", based on the poem "An Elephant in the Room" by Terry Kettering. It sounds so intelligent and complete and I have really great hopes for this. At least this film might make up for the shitty one I was forced to make for my diploma film.

I'm working so much yet I'm so broke, I don't even understand how thats possible.

Its been a bumper month in terms of assignments. Its tiring but so magical.

First it was the Amateurs short film shoot as soundman, then comes the mammoth Locals Recommend project as director and DP and then a short film for the Ministry of Education where I'm DP. And I just got referred by my lecturer to some production house for content developer. If all goes well, I should be able to earn close to $4k next month. I can't remember the last time my bank account had 4 figures. But it's a good start. Toxic Tree is taking off well, even better than I had expected and I love this really.

But professional life aside, I feel like I am missing out on some things. Maybe its the same old shit coming back to haunt me. But well, whatever happens, I have to keep going strong.

I need to prepare for the upcoming projects with professionalism so as to raise my standards and establish our brand name. I need to also prepare my music video shoot. That one has to come out good as it will be TT3's first in-house production.

I met this actress during the last shoot, and somehow we have ended up with a possible collaboration for a short-film idea. Very simple setup but with a very complicated theme. If all goes well we can possibly shoot that in December, with 3 of us as co-writers and me directing it while she acts. I've been interacting with a lot of intelligent people lately, its wonderful to be able to exercise my brain once again.

But of course, good things are not meant to last.

I'm also starting to have my regrets doing my friend the favour (relationship status on facebook). Oh well.

Bitching and whining and slandering me right?

getting most of the level 1s to go against me right?

Even convincing the lecturers that I'm the one in the wrong


You've made your moves.

Now, my turn =)
