Happy Birthday Ma'am Mary :) And oh why did you stop from fallin', rain? :))


Hey folks! :) THIS DAY WAS AN AWESOME ONE. Well actually, everything started to get awesome since yesterday. I mean everyday is an awesome day that God gives me, but it was just more awesome this time. Yesterday was also an extremely awesome day. I can't explain it enough. Well i'm just gonna tell you what happened :)

We prepared a surprise birthday party for our class adviser, Ma'am Mary. Her birthday is on the 10th of October, so this is actually and advanced celebration :) Since last Tuesday, we were already discussing plans for this surprise celebration. We were planning about the food, and everything that we could include in our short program. One of our plans was to make a video for her. And I was the one to edit it, which is why i love it so much! ;] It was I think a plain video though. It just had videos of her co-teachers and some students greeting her with nice and humorous messages. We shot it yesterday, we asked permission to bring my video camera since it's said in our school handbook that gadgets are not allowed. Blessedly, we were permitted and other teachers connived with our secret plan for Ma'am Mary's birthday.
Everything went well despite our tight schedule.

After that I edited the video at home. Boy, I was like havin' an adrenaline rush! Cause like I was editing it by Thursday night and I had to finish that before tomorrow comes! It was so pressurizing! hahaha So I started gettin' everything done by 7:30pm. I finished it by 10:50 somethin', almost like 11pm actually. The whole time I was editing everything in the video, I believe everything went fine and there was no problem, not even a tiny catch that could ruin it. But when I already had done the whole video, this tiny catch brought itself in to the scene. During the greeting scenes, I put a background music for a lil' artistic effect. But when I watched it, I realized that the BG music was much louder than the voices of the people speaking in the video! Which meant..I had to start all over again! Or..so i thought? I was wrong. Good thing I thought of a clever plan to fix it. And there.. Starting at 11:00pm, I worked on it for 2 hours. So I finished the whole thing by 1am. I was so nervous and I almost panicked! I didn't know what to do. Another good thing, is that when I was editing the whole thing, I was actually chatting with someone the whole time. Ezra wiped away the feeling of anxiety inside me.

This day, it was sooooooooo much of a happy day.
I'm glad for everything that happened this day. The party was a happy party, and all our efforts were surely appreciated.
May God bless you Ma'am Mary.
