In my dorm in UPLB, my roomates and I would often stay up late and talk about everything and anything we possibly can. Everything from crappy pinoy soaps, fantaseryes, JUMONG, Mark Lapid’s Batas Militar and Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar movie fiascos, Mikey Arroyo and Steven Seagal’s irritating action flicks, some pinoy reality shows e.g. The Search for the Next White Castle Girl, and even Pokemon and some other anime series, we girls just love to tear those topics apart, debate and make fun of them on our whim.

Incidentally, we share the same “artistic” tendencies as well. I mean, we like the same type of music, books, movies and artists and even a past time activity: taking pictures. At first, since I owned a camera phone that can capture good quality video, I took random shots of the UPLB campus. Then I started taking pictures of my roomates, after which I ventured into including our dolls Jeleeta, Ruffles, Pikachu, ChakaDave and Jigglypuff:

Luckily, I had a thesis for my major subject, Botany 142, which was about the plants used for local kulam or witchcraft. So I had to buy a “kulam” book, Mga Panibagong Kulam by Tony Perez. When I brought the book to my dorm, my roomates and I suddenly thought of making a short video about the slap-stick kulam rituals featured in that book. The book contained spells that could and will not hurt people unless done correctly and with good intentions. We choose a spell para mawala ang sakit ng damdamin at sama ng loob (to ease feelings of hurt and distress).

We also did a Pilates “instructional” video and a make-up comic side trip. Really, when boredom strikes, creative juices will surely boil up.
