Internship at Living Asia Channel has made me fantasize and day dream a lot about traveling around the country. One of the things I’ve been doing the past few days was capturing raw mini-dv footages from their out of town field shoots into their digital archives. Watching hours and hours of raw footage and edited but unaired programs can, admittedly, get boring, but it still makes me envious of all the traveling the field team and the hosts get to do, as part of their job.
Yesterday morning, I asked Rina to do an experiment with me, since we relatively live within the same area in Quezon City. Instead of taking one of those colorum vans with her that go straight to Makati, I decided to do it the jeep and MRT way. I wanted to see which one of us would get to the office first. While in Ayala however, I got off from one of those air-conditioned jeepneys at the wrong place so I ended up walking almost a kilometer to the office. That basically spoiled the experiment and made Rina get to the office first. I’m not bitter.
Anyway, I am finally going to be sent to the field in a shoot for one of the company’s overseas programs! That’s going to be on Tuesday. Eka and I did some “pre-production” arrangements a few days ago. I’m glad we’re being given something to do other than transcribing, video capturing and shot-listing. Everything’s well, even if I’m actually being sent on a KIKAY Machine shoot. Hehe.

In fairness, bagay. (Kikay Machine that is). And in fairness, it’s a t-shirt&jeans internship. I don’t know why you had the word yuppie in the title of your last entry.
excuse me.. the shuttle way is relatively faster but i cant deny that you save more money than i do ehehe
bagay!
what should i call you? kikoy, bikoy?
my golly….
im grinning with envy. nasa LAC pla internship program mo. geez. kainggit. gusto ko bumyahe with them eheheh
hey, living asia? cool. how’d you get into it?
Ayos! =) Pangarap ko ring makapaglibot sa ilang bahagi ng Pilipinas.
At palagay ko, mas mabilis nga ang biyahe kapag sasakay ka sa MRT, bukod sa ito ay mas tipid sa pamasahe. Kalaban mo nga lang ang sandamakmak na tao lalo na kapag rush hour. At kung sakali ngang nakita mong mas nakabubuti ang pagsakay rito, sunod mo nang pag-aralan ang mga paksa katulad ng “tamang paglugar at pagtayo sa MRT,” “mga alituntunin sa pakikipagnegosasyon ng mga naniniksik at mga barubal na pasahero,” at “mga istratehiya upang libangin ang sarili sa haba ng pila.”
Jake The Miserable: tama ka. MRT nga ang sagot sa kahirapan ng pagcocommute. Mukhang nagiging expert na yan c bikoy sa pakikipagsapalaran sa mala-dagat na dami ng tao pag rush hour s mrt. Pero aminin mo bikoy, kanina nasa pang-babae ka na side nung train
haha
ano rina? si bikoy nasa girls cab ng mrt?
getting excited for interns. 2 years pa. Amp.
@ Rina: Basta ‘wag lang maliitin ang kakayahang pumili ng alternatibo, lalo na sa panahon ngayon. Dahil karaniwang EDSA-way ang mga lakwatsa ko, siyempre mas mainam na ang MRT.
Kahit na may mga bitter memories.neon: oo, since puro girls kami na kasama niya..hindi namin namalayan na for girls lang pala yun..hehe
Wala bang guard na pumipigil? Hehe. Thank you Bikoy for protesting against this sexist segregation! Long live equality!
@rina: hahaha! lolz! di bale cute naman si bikoy. palagay ko xa center of attraction duon.
dati, napadaan ka sa blog ko, pero di yta kita naalok ng link ex… gusto mo?
may kikay machine pa pala. i love that show.
you guys work at living asia?! wow!
Hi! I just saw your site through the kabataan party website. I’m just wondering… how were you able to secure an OJT in Living Asia Channel? And would you, by any chance, know Adrian Mella? He used to be a Film student in UP as well.
Oh yeah, I’ll have my OJT this coming October 22-November 6 at LIVING ASIA CHANNEL.
So ayos naman ba ang OJT sa LAC? Sana maraming field works…
Hehe.
