Shit Happens

Some say its best to count our blessings than our misfortunes. Some say that good things come out of bad things. Even my favorite church song says they are blessings in disguise. But sometimes things go way out of hand, some are too much, some are petty yet gets on someone's nerves. There was one whole week (even a week after that) that i suffered to many misfortunes, and where I concluded, I, Katherine Rose Kapunan, born on the year of the rooster was the unluckiest person in the world. haha.

Guimaras/Odyssey misfortunes

1. During shooting our movie Odyssey, i had my menstruation. So, i am limited to shooting scenes that doesn't involve immersing myself in water which makes it frustrating to see some other people holding your camera and not shoot the way you want it to be. :(

2. While shooting a scene, which took so long before the actors got it right, i got wet because the water rises as i move into its depths to shoot a better angle. As the waves thrash. . . oh well, you should know why i don't want to get wet. It's not the nicest feeling you know.

3. Our 2 days stay at Guimaras Island to shoot the movie wasn't really productive. To start with, we were late, and the making of props took so long, the impulse to enjoy was too strong, and someone was just making the shooting duration so long. Simple as that.

4. While I was so upset because we were so unproductive on the first day, and some other matters i would not like to mention, I sat on the shore, reflected and wrote something on my laptop. I didn't plan to eat, but my best friend might have notices i wasn't there so he brought me food. By the time the wind got too strong, i  decided to leave. I ran tightly hugging my laptop, but because it was dark and i can't see where i'm stepping, i didn't see the elevated sand, and stumbled. Face down. Whole body. Nothing supported me. So my laptop ate all the sand it could take. When I stood up, I also wiped my face, and my laptop. haha. Three men saw me and it was so embarrassing!

5. While also shooting a scene, the waves were to strong, and i was standing against rocks. So the camera, gets droplets of water plus sand. >.<

DFA: Processing of Passport/JENESYS application

(We were catching a 5 o'clock deadline so these misfortunes were delays.)

6. My NSO birth certificate was still at LBC Jaro, so i had to get it, while processing. It took up most of my time.

7. I was scolded countless times at DFA due to delay.

8. After processing at DFA, i took my studio picture at Gaisano, but well, of all times, why was i closing my eyes in that freaking picture? So i had to take another picture.

9. I had to fill up the application in pen, because my classmate says it should be, scanned my documents because that same classmate didn't follow what we've agreed earlier, and scanned just HIS documents and left ours. We later discovered that we can submit the application type-written and that classmate passed ahead of us. Oh well, what do you expect, we didn't catch the deadline, so did he. (hmmmwaahhha)

School. Just school

10. I wasn't able to study for the long test in World Literature because i wasn't able to wake up early. I just didn't hear my alarm clock.

11. The most devastating incident of all. Our video clips was corrupted. Yes. CORRUPTED. I dare not mention the details. It hurts.

12. Props made of bamboo fell right on top of my head. Gosh, of all places. Why my head?

13. I had to edit the movie all by myself ( rr helped a bit. Just a bit.) and wasn't able to study for my exams on weekends

14. I did not enjoy the shooting because i was too stressed catching up deadlines.

15. There was a time, i plainly didn't have any money. Like today.

16. I wanted to move in the newly constructed boarding house next door, but because i was advertising too much, they ran out of single rooms. Wow, so much advertising, they should have paid me.

18. My classmates borrowed my handbook on local governance to photocopy it, but the photocopier closed  before they were able to get it back, so i was left with nothing to study on, and reasons why i bought the book sank in, pushed tears out of my eyes, and smoke out of my ears and nose and mouth. haha.

19. While i was thrashing and wrecking my room because of anger, my pencil skirt ripped, but it made me stop thrashing.

20. I studied hard to the extent that if-only-brain-could-throw-up-it-would-have. But for goodness sake, why did i think the exam was scheduled 9:30 instead of 9:00? There, there, so I was 40 minutes late. How's that?

21. While making a caricature of my answers, oh, while i was writing with all the speed my hand and my brain could offer, i ran out of ink, so i had to snatch a pen on the teacher's table. By the way, i had to beg for an extension to my professor so i had to chase him while writing, wasting NO TIME at all. Haha. I found out it was better to write on a desk. The floor would also do.

22. Because i was studying on coffee shops, i drink coffee every night. Result? Tonsillitis. So i had slight fever on the day of IRO exam.

There are a lot more, but i wasn't able to list them down. And I eventually forgot. This would be the last time, me counting misfortunes, coz i'm gonna list down my blessings next. :D
