Commish’s Corner – Back to the Motherland
I’ve been looking forward to this trip since summer last year. I was born in the Philippines and the first time I went back was 2004. It was hard to do my own thing since I was there for a family reunion but 6 years later, I’m hoping to celebrate my “Dirty 30”.
You can say this trip is half-business, half pleasure. Last Summer was a tumulus season and I just wanted to get away and take a break from Superstar. The last time I actually had a vacation was May 2006 and running season after season will burn anyone out. I hear players complaining about getting hurt and wanting to take a season off, I hear about GMs not being able to run their team and wanting a break as soon as the season ends, and from my end, well, you can imagine how tough it is to mullti-task all these responsibilities.
Besides running the website and writing, one of my other passions is video-editing. You saw some of my work on Superstar TV last Winter and I was on point until I started getting frustrated. Not only did YouTube start putting my videos on mute but I experienced a lot of technical problems every week. I took a break from it for awhile but over Thanksgiving weekend, while everyone was with their family eating and grubbing away, I stayed home and sort of fell in love all over again.
I’m fortunate to work with Bliss Media Works and in this trip, I’m hoping to learn and try some new things. Hopefully, one of my good friends Alex Cua marries his GF (oops, delete, delete, delete, re-write). Hopefully, I find some random wedding to crash and maybe put together a video for them on the spot. That’s one thing I’m hoping to do in the near future with Bliss Media Works and I’m hoping to bring this newfound knowledge back.
NOTE: I am not getting married in the Philippines or bringing back a wife. Unless of course, she’s a nurse, she’s a 10, and she can sing and dance, and cook, and well, you know. LOL.
