Miracles Do Exist

Today was one of those days where you wake up thinking "wow, I actually do hope this will even pass."

Today is one of those days where you go to bed thinking "wow, this day couldn't get that much better."

It's strange how one finds delight in fatigue. Maybe it is the fact that every time we end something so phenomenally big, the sense of accomplishment usually follows. Knowledge of the diameter of how much effort you put in can also make it all worth it.

But not all a bed of roses, in fact it did not start all the way right for me. Heading to school was a drag, I had to shoot a sequence for a filming assignment that I had to do. Somehow attaining a suitable location was biting at everyone's butt because almost nobody in the executive administration committee wanted to lift a finger to help. But it's all fine because a few outliers could do twice as much as the entire committee, and I managed to get the support of a helpful staff in the office.

We got to book a room called 01-37 in block 26A and finding it was not one bit easy either but that was predominantly because I was oblivious to the clues given about the location, and thus I got led to search the wrong block. But it's all fine now.

And so we got on set and started shooting, knowing that prior to the shoot our actress would be late by forty minutes. Forty minutes passed and there was still no sign of her. Finally, with only 50 minutes to spare for both her and the actor, she arrived. But it's all fine now, we managed to shoot the key scenes that include the both of them, even though we were hard pressed for time due to the ridiculous schedule.

One of my group members came up with the idea to shoot the following two day's work, considering the fact that we still possessed a fair deal of spare time, as our shoot was particularly short. Ignoring the nagging hunger and need for shelter, we strut forth boldly into the scorching demeanour of the burning afternoon sun. To add to the trouble, we had to carry our bulky and heavy equipment all over the place, despite a seemingly tiring shoot prior to that. But it's all fine because ultimately, ComDI got cancelled the following day, signifying that we have much more time to complete our video editing assignment the next day basically because of a free morning due to a cancelled class and a shoot that was completed the day before.

Video editing lesson was a chore as always. I never found it easy to work on a software while a teacher or lecturer was guiding us on the various functions of the software. I guess software tutorials is just not my type, ever since I first tried it out in secondary school whenever we had info comm technology lessons. And it is especially draining because video editing lessons are at the end of the day, where everyone is usually rather tired from the energy consuming activities of the morn, much less this morning.

And that was when I hoped for a miracle.

Just a glimpse of her.

The rest is history. Thirty seconds was all it needed to make today one of the best days of 2015.

Thank you, Lord.
