I was walking along the dusty street of Recto. I’ve been wandering all alone, trying to catch up with the busy lives of the living species around me. With this keen eyes of mine, I’ve noticed a signage. It’s not that attractive as it could be, actually i think it had been rusted by the series of weather changes (well, of course it’s normal. we’ll be having a not so normal life if the weather doesn’t change. Oh, enough for the side comments.) The colors of the font weren’t matched accordingly, the background of it was colored white (supposedly!) but because of the years it had been hung, dirty white was the outcome. It was not that interesting but then the moment my eyes viewed that signage, some manifestations rushed all over my systems. Well, funny isn’t it, I haven’t said yet what was the signage all about. “Video Editing” offered by some unlicensed and licensed stall owners to students who wished to make their “RTV” productions organized, to any birthday celebrants who wanted to make their compilations of bloopers, memoirs, etc. and basically, they are offering the service to anyone who wishes to have their video to be edited. So, abstractions flew over me, “what if” questions raged against my unconcious mind. What if I had a chance to edit my own screenplay? What if all the terrible situations that I had experienced may be deleted? Queries weren’t good enough to keep me up the pedestal where I am at now. But what if it’s possible to go back or rewind your own movie and eliminate all the unnecessary scenarios? If only I had the power to do it. If only I had corrected all the mistakes I’ve done.
But thinking it was a screenplay, a movie which is always playing at the back of my brain, scenarios shouldn’t be that good all the time. There should be horrific scenes which will scare the hell out of you, tragic scenes which will make your tears drop, blithe scenes which will make your stomach ache because you of laughing out loud. Well, I dont have to name all of the possible scenes we encountered or we might encounter. The thing is, these unforgettable events- no matter how misery or blissful it is- made you a better person. You are now robust and can face the reality.
So, who says someone needs video editing? I wont be needing it as well. I’d rather laugh at my own stupidities and think of a better solution. My movie was not that splendid but it wont be reformatted or edited. I will keep my movie playing, I can rewind it but just to reminisce the past scenes.
