Documentary is somehow sounds good to me. You see, my NCAE number one result is "Director." I have passion in imagining scenes and all. But what excites me the most is the fact that we will have our documentary in General Santos.
And because I was so excited, I was late. One hour late that all of my crew (I like to use that term. Peace sisters) left me and had the first bus. I had the second bus and travel alone. You would think I was sad because I'm alone? But surprisingly, I. Love. It. I love traveling more than I love food.
As I got there, they said to stop in front of Robinson. I'll ride a tricycle and it will only cost twenty pesos.But the driver said it will cost one hundred fifty. I might be a director wanna be but I am also a lawyer. And this is not justice. I tried to argue but what could I say? It's my first time to be alone in Gen San. I dont knew much. Good thing, the lady I was sitting next at the bus offered help. She help me to get a tricycle that I could spend less.
As I got there, we ate early lunch. I don't eat fish but as I tasted the fish, damn it's so good! Even my group mates agreed to that--they even call the taste as "Namnam."
After we ate, we fix the setting. All I could say is, its so fun. We joke around and all. After we film, we rest. And watch movie that all of us got a broken heart and some even had a teary eyes.
After that, we went to a public market. I'm so amazed. It's no Davao Market. It is well organized. We bought balot and fried chicken in the sidewalk. We also went to a very huge sari-sari store that I think sells more product than our central convenience here.
It is fun being there. And there's one thing I realized that I want to emphasize. We are busy growing up that we forgot our grandparents is also growing old too. I realized how much I love my grandparents.

Compare Neighbor and Family
I live in a high end subdivision somewhere in Cabantian. I am a friendly person but that doesn't mean I get out in my house frequently and greet my neighbors. In fact, i do not know any of my neighbors. To the top of that, we don't have any neighbor in the back., right, left, and even across us.
Generally, I could say that there are differences and similarities between my family and neighbors. First, my family is in my blood. Whether I like it or not, I can never choose family. But I could choose whose neighbors to talk to. Another, family is the one who supports you and gives you all the basic needs in life and all you wanted in life--education, shelter, love, care, clothes, food, financially. Blood is thicker than blood. When you'll be sick, it's not your neighbor who will attend and nurse you. It's always your family.
It's funny how I could describe it like neighborhood is not necessary. But it is. Neighbors are the one who helps. We didn't realized it but we're always watching each other's back. Neighbors has a big impact in the process of molding ourselves. They are there to guide and tell you what is right. They even tell what's acceptable so you could avoid judgement.
Neighbors are still your family. It's just that they are secondary.

Getting Out of My Prison Cell
Its funny how ourselves, our very own selves, are the one who imprisoned us. We are the one who limits ourselves to do this and do that. We are afraid what will others will say. We are afraid that what we are going to do is not on our culture and if we do that, we will be judged. We will be badass to our society.
Even me saying bad ass will be ridiculous to others ears. That word is taboo in this territory. But of course, in America, it is not. Though it is still negative word, but it is recognized by american people. Deviance is always on the perception of a person.
I love American culture. Their habits like house party, traveling, and how they could have easy life school. Of course I also love their fashion. But if I wear it in here in the Philippines? I would be just a potato of fun. People may not say it on your face but you'll know on their looks.
So all I did is mix. Use their culture, together with Filipino culture. Go to house party, travel around, and work hard to have easy life in school. I also mix the way I cloth myself especially outside the school. I always wanted to be a tumblr girl.
But the important thing is, be what you are. Do what you want. Don't let other people interfere with your interest. What matters is your happiness. You are not born to please anybody.
