Strikingly fine movie time (15th of November)

I could feel the fresh air in the morning as I jogged around the park. I managed to jog for 3.5km and walked for another 2km then jogged again for another 2km, and I DID ITTTT... XD

MAH GOD GEEBUS...This link shared by mum got me too damn touchy. It was one of the best articles about 911 incident, which I went teary reading it on my way to Central. I bet fate can not be concluded the core of this article, but that kind of rare chance to survive again, makes you more cherish everything and everyone in your life. Sympathy is not enough to express everything I felt towards it, but being a bit of inspired by understanding how one's encounter could be this traumatizing but grateful at the same time...

So yeh, our film fest trip was to watch one Japanese film in event cinema lol Before getting inside, we went to get this 3q crispy chicken from that newly open Taiwanese chicken store. Funny how we totally didn't notice its existence til we were just standing right next to it and checking its location lmao...However, the chicken wasn't that as a surprise for us, even for the first time ever we tried it. We were expecting it to be much more scrumptious.

And yes, we both were like two hobos sitting on the edgy side of the stairs having our chicken time in that half an hour. There were several times we were having this bet when that 'explosion' of cheese taste would be happening. Would that be this bite? or the following bites? We waited, waited and waited even more for some shocking moments to get ourselves to love this crispy chicken. And we ended up feeling disappointed because that so-called heavenly cheese taste only started from the tiny bits towards the end of a few last bites... Whilst making some ridiculous speculation on this crispy chicken, we discussed what to eat for the night. He said he would cook me, the pork belly. I went with the flow by saying we should get more seasoning and all to make my pork belly more tasty. I even randomly said myself as a 'bitch' (as in female dog literally, pun intended here) as we joked about something else.

Once again, choosing the movie 'wood job' was one of the best choices. Of course, all thanks to me who has this sense of picking good movies ;) I love this movie only for that theme of coming of age as it's described on the website. The protagonist has undergone a period of time from a playful teenager who failed to get into the uni he wanted, to a lumberjack wannabe because of the illustration from the ad cover, and eventually has this urge to be a part of the village to work as a lumberjack. I like how abnormal the family seems like as the story was unfolded as he started to be trained by that guy. The child, the mum, even the dog were all something made up as the greatest part within a comedy. Not to mention how he has been suffering from being a noob, being ignorant and neglected in the beginning of his journey. Waited til we were taken into the real world of forestry where the protagonist was motivated to do something challenging after was acknowledged from his dream girl. There are so many intriguing touches which tap into ancient Japanese legends and mythology too, such as that immediate accident befall him upon his arrival, he cut his finger badly during a lesson, promptly going into a faint, another one like he was attacked by leeches and constantly was called as a leech by students afterwards. Oh and the greatest laugh-out-loud gag where his foot was tangled by the rope that was going to release follow by the fall of the big trunk of tree. It left him with no choice to escape, he then was asked to jump on the top and ride on it as it fell from the top to the bottom where all the women and kids were waiting down there. I couldn't bear with that guy's twisted facial expression showing a sense of extreme fear while in an awkwardly Jap traditional outfit makes this scene even more hilarious. I just love this film so much, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

So hmm film was really really impressive. Other than that, our talk on the bus was impressive too. I was told he would be preparing hell lots of topics for his exam held in April. Oh and it was a good shopping time getting to shop around with owner at Coles, buying dumplings and his breakie for tomorrow. In the meantime, I couldn't stop my blabbering after knowing how sick I'd be eating the same damn thing every morning if I am him. But yes he's right. If I'm also the one living with my own, I wouldn't be bothered to spend my precious time cooking this and that too, or perhaps my morning breakie would even be worse than this somebody...

Another movie we watched while having his dumplings at his house was funny, but lack of a sense of persuasion on the main theme in the very nature of how to build up a good solid film structure in a way. Subtly audience's attention would be drawn away because scenes are not closely linked together. You will have this feeling of watching some unmatched parts oddly coming together. But it's ok, at least I had some great laugh too with my owner. We enjoyed more of sharing how much laughter we have, rather than care much about what we were really doing. Anything could go wrong, but our enjoyable presence would always make up for that.  

Ok, here comes with the most erotic part for the night. The touchy feely time was on as the movie finished. Hugging, kissing led to more, and more intense moment in bed. Imagine someone starts to caress you in that sort of way with that burning passionate kisses, nobody could ever resist a sexual temptation. But of course, there will always be love in the first place. I don't know how much somebody felt about all of his first experiences in his life tonight, but tantalizing enough to say - someone is getting there..(pun intended) He's right, a king size bed with some cozy pillows and mattress will be better for having somebody's first. To make it memorable, we just need to wait for the best right time to do something striking. LOL...ok I sound too inappropriate here, but I do try to make everything less inappropriate. After all, public place here, no way to let any third party to know too much of private life here, if this comes with too much private exposure which may lead to my guilt of being an overly gay-ish person...

Out of cliche much, thank you, and miss you..see you soon, we still got a lot to plan ahead :)

Slide show editing (14th of November)

The temperature was closely hit 40 degree today. Same as usual, I went to the park jogging for 90 minutes or so, rested up a bit by walking around and ran for another two rounds at that small park. Heading back home to do that 8 min workout too. But my legs are less sore and hurtful now. So I believe that this will go well as I'm now getting used to what I was like half a year ago.

I like the video she showed me during our lunch time. That was the one that making her go teary, so she highly recommended me to watch it. I didn't go teary though, all the time I was paying more attention to its techniques used, as well as learning how to shoot at a certain angle to create something more meaningful or touchy.

After lunch, I was asked to go to the bank to do something. Under this heat, I already went sweaty and tired although it's just 200 meters away from my house. 

Heaps of editing to the video for 3 hours this afternoon. Or maybe 4. It was such a right timing to go AIT today. I didn't have to wait for people to finish class. Instead, CO6 was all empty by the time I got there. I could have done more if I've got a few more hours to think about how to change some parts from my video to something even more different from others. I just had this feeling that some have done a great job doing this slide show, so I checked theirs on Fb first and I could tell quite a number of them have spent so much time doing it. 

Anyways it was really stupid of me forgetting to use the coins left from yesterday...She was maddened because of this, and said that she would be putting even more coins for me tomorrow in order to make me remember to use coins first instead of notes next time...

Animation short clip made (13th of November)

Group work with my mates in animation class in the morning was the highlight of the day. Everyone was standing on both sides as I walked in. The guy who was next to me asking if I was ready to take that group work challenge...I mean, let's just have fun. No stress here..

We started to move things around to form patterns whilst the teacher at the front capturing everything. To synchronise with the music it plays, we had to determine how strong an action would be dependent on the soundwave showed on the screen. Sharon suggested us to collaborate with each other because interaction could lead to more creativity. Right after she said it, we all started to move our items closer towards each other...

Towards the end of the class, Nelson and Carson purposely moved their items closer to mine to get my attention, I laughed at how out of nowhere they were when putting two cats and a basketball on the table...>.> After class, I headed to broadway with both of them to have lunch. Most of the time I was talking to Nelson but left Carson behind, he was sitting in the corner quietly two aquarius here talking about the zodiac and such after knowing our birthdays are only two days away from one another. He then showed me his muscular friend's selfies on his phone, and asking me if I wanted to know this person =3=

Nothing much special after lunch time. We two walked back to AIT as Carson said he had to get new earphones from JB hi fi. I sat with Nelson for a bit before he attended his class, then went to find a room to work on my own thingy. An hour later, he came to find me and we chatted a bit during his break. He went back, I went to find another room too because there would be a class there at 4ish. Bet Nelson really knew where I was, after he finished his first lesson, he appeared again in another room where I moved to. He thought that I would be waiting for him to head back to Central together, but I told him I had to finish my work first.

The third time I moved to another room, CO6 was around 5ish. I didn't get to have much time left to edit my music video, so I rather to leave it for tomorrow...

Finally made up our mind to pick which film we would be watching on Saturday. There wasn't that many choices for film fest this Saturday. It would be much better if we could go next Saturday, but there would be another two film fest happening in Newtown, and we didn't want to miss those.

Btw I spent my two hours making this animation short clip which lasts for 23 seconds. All I had to do was to capture the movements frame by frame. I repeatedly made minor changes of all the chosen elements and lastly, everything would be formed as a narrative. By playing back everything I've done so far in these two hours, I was proud of myself making my first ever animation clip, so I showed my parents and owner. Of course, there always will be some stories behind why and what I was making this for. I told them my animation is about this chemical reaction based on bigbang theory in which particle collision was formed, and the birth of the globe (ball in this case) was happening as a result of the first explosion. The ball is meant to represent the journey of the human development through this time machine represented by wires around.

I'm indeed really glad to take this course because I'm allowed to make my imagination to go wild during the whole process. :3

Video editing learning... (12th of November)

Waking up at 6ish is such a hard time =3= I seriously couldn't bear with the sleepiness I had in the morning. But yes, I had a pretty good day I have to say. Oh yeh, btw I had this super horrible dream which it left me scar after some friends of mine and I trapped in an office where we were surrounded by dead bodies. Later, this person asked each of us to swallow a piece of glass if we wanted to get out of there >.> Anyways my legs are still painful like hell from all those workout and jogging in these two days. I sort of walked like a crab when I intended to go downstairs at the train station =3= Plus I saw this man at his 50's in rocker-stylish leather jacket performing somewhere close to the train station. His performance was seriously THAT bad...which I was totally awaken right after I heard his bass...And and and and and I was close to trip over by something on my way to AIT....Despite the fact that I was overwhelmed by that extreme embarrassment, I tried to act calm by avoiding looking back, just incase anyone would see who I am... >3<

In animation class, I talked to this guy sitting next to me because I didn't know how and what to start as I missed the class from last week. He told me to download this app and learn how to use it before starting shooting the video. So we were allowed to play around with that stop motion app for the whole lesson. In order to make something sync with the music we want to put in our video, we had to think about what patterns we can make from the chosen objects. Since almost everyone around me were using colour pencils, I picked something else.

Casey waved at me as I walked out from the class, I talked to her for a bit. I was trying to learn how to use that app I just downloaded when I was with her. Unfortunately she didn't really quite know. But we had a great time chatting about our holidays and such, including my uni exam period which she felt sorry for me.

I didn't do much in that two hours whilst waiting for my second lesson. All I did was to browse around our animation blog, get myself familiarized with the app, and waiting for an adviser to answer my phone call from that c place for almost an hour and a half. To ensure that any education update was approved by the system or else my payment would be suspended, I asked him whether they have received my update request. And he also wished me a good luck before ending the class as I told him to extend my graduation period to next year.

Btw thanks for sharing that lovely article with me. Which is true, a relationship can only be stable when two people are independent, and know we should keep changing for the better rather than expect more from the other.

Screen editing class was awesome. I've learned quite a few more skills in editing the videos from premiere pro, such as the 'leading' and 'kerning' for text, as well as I was taught there were more methods for 'in and out' thingy. Also, I like all the background stories he told us, such as the one for Star war in which they are still using this filmic technique as a trademark for their film series. Even though film industry no longer find circle iris and square iris as that suitable to put into other films anymore. Apart from this, he also said film fade could replace other fading effects if there are more than one layer at a certain point. And that is also the only fading effect can be used for not affecting other layers when the bottom layer producing that effect.

I hurriedly to get home because I've got something up after answering her urgent phone call. After solving everything for her, I started to learn something new from after effects by watching the tutorial videos. I got to know the way to remove object from the video is similar to how we do it with photoshop, except that clone stamp tool must follow with a tracker tool, and later to adjust the hardness and such.

And we still haven't decided which film(s) we will be choosing for this Jap film fest this Saturday. Well...it was too late anyways, we would make up our mind by tomorrow night :)

Geebusss first monthsary ftw (11th of November)

I bet that I have almost exceeded my limit in the second day of jogging. I could even feel my ribs hurting for a bit after I kept it up to 4km. But I felt good doing enough of exercise, including my 8 mins workout routine when I got home.

Btw I could have left my house earlier to go AIT if only I didn't have to make a call to c place. I still couldn't reach them anyways...>.>

Screen editing class was easy. Easy, easy and easy. As I already know how to use premiere pro, unlike the others who have to learn everything from scratch, I had some knowledge in how to edit some good videos. Hence my intention to attend the class was only to learn extra things which I might never take notice of. There was this cause for me to stay for another few hours after class finished. That is, my blog posts which I hadn't updated for more than a week...It was really time to catch up with this amount of posts. I already promised myself not to fall too behind. Nobody waits for you, life allows no waiting time...

Ok...so this is my day... so far....There would be more of course...It would be quite an ordinary day if it wasn't our first monthsary lol

He finally made it a few minutes to 5, which later he said he tried to be in AIT earlier just to see me, somehow the bus took a long time to get to Central, hence, he was THIS late....No....ok...fine...you are forgiveable >3>

Before deciding where to eat, I made a call to that maintenance guy who said that he would arrange the bookings for repairs, which is next Friday. I quickly called mum to tell her this good news....Yeh...it was such a good day for knowing we finally can get our stuff fixed, like, almost everything, everything that isn't working or works really bad.

Owner and I were thinking so hard for our dinner time on our way back. He suggested to eat hotpot because of that Chinese saying which indicates the meaning of intimacy xD I love the name 'little lamb' too. There is only one reason, or maybe two reasons to go for that hotpot place. The name, and the price. Regardless, we couldn't find it at all. That one hour of seeking where that hotpot place is has gotten somebody really cranky having this thought to crush somebody on the street. No, I am joking, he is a calm guy lol...

But we really were losing our hope in each second as we tried our best to look it up in every possibilities. A woman told him 'little lamb' might be already closed off. With a feeling of being trolled and disappointed, I asked him to stick with any restaurants nearby so we didn't have to walk any further.

We ended up having this spicy pot and, it wasn't that spicy >.> But yes, a great dinner after all, with a lot of discussion on spiritual experiences, as well as our great Gold Coast and film fest plans, almost everything is started to get organized. Plus, it was too funny to stop my laughter from laughing at how he described the disappearance of my abs is being shy or hibernated...=3= I was more of having someone clicked on my laugh button or some sort which laughters reoccurred over and over, and over...Anyways I am proud to have him as my great guide tour in something that I don't know, or may not sure. I mean, I'm appreciated to have him as more than I expect from him.

Like that glorious script time continued on what else we would have for our script. I know that my side stories are super distracting in a way, but sorry, I was really keen on telling everything that I could relate to anything mentioned during that time. I think that 'pop-up' idea will be one of the humorous effects. Of course, I am good at acting random, how can this not work when this comedian is readily to make that BANG sound (opppssss....spoiler here...) stop here... But yes, I might be paying too much attention in something unnecessary. Now I'm talking about that scene which I was hesitatingly to decide whether I should blacken or whiten it to show the gradual fade out. Curiosity does kill the cat. I'm the cat though. Each and everytime when he had this attempt to know everything and everything else in which I see it as less important or not bothering to explain, I would be close to dying to make something sound articulated. Oh and yes...I might be losing my logical sense in explaining something in Chinese. Now you see why I start to feel the pain having to accept the fact that my mother tongue is worsened.

Btw I didn't mean to facepalm you. At least not when I found that there was this pair of eyes looking at me fontly. I sensed my soul and my heart were getting penetrated as he did that... When one's eyes met the other, kissing time started again. Too much exchange of saliva that night, way too much.

Much fun than I've described right here....But I rather to keep this part of memory within me only, maybe. Thanks for keeping me warm on our way back to Central too.... I hope you enjoyed our first monthsary as much as I did. I was overwhelmed by all the sweetness, huggies and kisses still now. Nothing more to express how I love the day and you, plus thank you...

PS: Finishing two flavours tonight....onomnomnomnom....too good man, too good

Pre-first-monthsary (10th of November)

I need to be healthier from now on since I could gradually feel myself is getting so tired these days. As I planned, I started my epic jogging plan once again, after this half a year. I know I am making a good decision here. The best ever. Even mum went with me and said 'we would get back to our good health together' She walked, I jogged around the previous path. That familiar feeling I had was nothing different at all, except that this time I'm with more motivation to keep this going until I can't.

I achieved my first day of jogging, as well as that 8 minutes workout. But then the rest of the day, I chilled by watching videos, napping on my seat, and eating the new ice creams mum just bought...

Also, I downloaded some songs from Youtube. The ones I've been listening to these days. Maroon 5's and one republic's are awesome. I wanted to download Dami's too, somehow her songs aren't searchable from the apps, so I still have to wait for a while.

Last but not least, he let me down a bit once I knew he wouldn't make it til 5pm tomorrow - our first monthsary. Reason why I was getting a bit depressed was that I had this feeling of being put aside. I only wish my expectation should never go that far next time...

PS: Now Corey knew the truth between Michael and I...

Script? Not a problem (9th of November)

I really hate myself being this SUPER SUPER SUPER anxious keep on worrying something that is unchangeable >.> Maybe this is what OCD leads to. It was back in almost 10 days ago I submitted my work, but I still couldn't let go of that once I re-read the conclusion I made was not perfect enough to get me a distinction >.>

Right, the kiddy was ok-ish. He has always been ok-ish or a little bit worse than that. But due to several reasons, I didn't want to report to how bad he actually is. He could get me so irritated sometimes by being irresponsive, messing up with me, interjecting, just all possibilities to imply that he isn't paying attention. He tried to be funny by stepping on that piece of watermelon on the floor, as well as to shove three fingers into his tiny mouth....

So I was a bit raving and ranting about the kid once my owner picked me up at Chatswood. I told him how I would wish to spank him if only he's my child. Reason why I eat a lot at Chatswood is that this is one of the best outlets to vent out everything after that two hours of tremendous painful tutoring. After 3 times of walking back and forth at the street, we still couldn't decide which restaurant we would like to go for because all we did was to talk, talk and more talk, talk, and talk...We finally picked this Korean chicken store to get that cup chicken with 5$ and shared together. Initially, our plan was to discuss our script, but neither of us has ever thought about what to put in. A long while of contemplating, I had this self-mockery moment saying how bad my acting skill is, so we better not to do sci-fi or such. Of course, we weren't planning to take this kind of genre in the first place anyway. He was bewildered of my wild imagination after I told him my dirty thought. A little flirty thought, it doesn't even involve any techniques but simply DO it lol...I even laughed at my own self for another 20 minutes which I was close to drool for opening my mouth too wide...

Then I led him to this memorial park where the soldiers are all buried there. He said we might need them to join our acting if we shoot some videos here >.> Oh how creepy this would be turning to..

Heading back to Central where we had a lot of fun talking and teasing each other, we had those confusions or intentional confusion for showing how stupidity means. He laughed at my hyperactive personality for non-stop talking, I laughed at how he picked a wrong person to date with, he then said that's because life is unfortunate sometimes lmao.... And I said why he had to be a bi to satisfy both genders right after he claimed himself as a people person lol...

Our perfect fattie time to get that bbq buffet was worthy. I mean, from how I tortured this person to cook for me whilst kept on judging how his cooking skill didn't meet my expectation was enough to make him go facepalm, and make me go horray!! But all for all, I love you owner, from the deepest of my heart :3 Because of you, I had this epic time having all the skewers I wanted. Though the prawns and some other stuff you cook were overcooked, I still was happy for being taken care of the whole night. Yes, this is my owner, he served me well, he got everything I wanted and he explained something what he called as common sense lol to make me feel bad for not being able to cook. 

And yes, I just love every single second being with this person, especially our talk, the connection we have for each other, like tonight when we stayed at darling harbour and discussing some scenes or elements to put in the script. We came across with different ideas. But firstly to start off, it was harder than writing a script. His attention was drawn away as he saw my kawaii face somehow. A rough and long kiss started from then. It was seemingly more than a kiss because somehow it turned me on lol>.> Anyway we had talked about how we would start the video by filming this glasses scene, pretending we are using this perspective from the glasses to see the exterior side of things. But then I thought it might not look that good, so this still needs to be reconsidered. Not to spoil anything here at the moment. We had a pretty sick name for our video. Both of us came up with some innovative things to add in too, such as that technique involves at least three different devices to play exactly the same scene respectively. Oh and I love that last kiss before we headed back to the station too. Somebody seemed like he loved my ass so much by slightly caressing it ey ;)

Thanks for the day la, as always. Your presence means a lot to me. My day won't be that meaningful without you :) 

PS: Don't be jelly of me eating my nice ice-cream hahahaha Those two flavours were too good to be true *drools*
