My Reelity

Is this the reel life or is this just fantasy?

Revolving Doors

Remember this?

Its been over a year and I have now laid down any hopes of it screening. Yeah, inspite of my initial misgivings, I really needed this to air as it could well turn out to be a good break for me. And Lord knows I need one. Heh.

But the Lord also knows that I prayed for the ad to air only if I’m “ready”, and I guess the answer is still “not yet”. I was really hoping that it would air during my recent long dry spell, and the fact that it didn’t just add to my woes more. And after one year of hoping and hoping, I guess I should now give closure to this and not hope anymore.

But that doesn’t mean I no longer want it to air. Just that I’m ok if it never ever aired. It will be a shame for sure, but I guess thats life. Things don’t always work out the way you plan. But that doesn’t mean one shoud stop. Like a certain wise one would say, if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.

Its also funny how sometimes in life, when one door closes, another one sort of opens.

Remember “4444” (how could you forget when it keeps getting mentioned? lol)? Apparently Canon has decided to use quite a number of scenes involving yours truly in its advertorial for 2006 DV Fest. I first came to know about this while running on the threadmill in gym yesterday.

There I was, pushing myself to break the “wall” when quite suddenly I see my big ugly mug on the screen facing me… which almost made me fall off the threadmill. Luckily I managed to regain my composure in time and not attract the attention I’m desperately trying to avoid in the gym. Also, it was most fortunate I was there during off-peak hours and there were only two other people at the threadmill, and both were too busy huffing and puffing to notice what was going on around them. Whew.

Like what Lisie said, this short film is seriously like a zombie!

So instead of an anticipated ad being screened, an unexpected one comes right out of the blue.

I guess in a sense that’s life too. Somethings just don’t stay dead and buried, sometimes they do resurrect and give you cause to hope again. :)
