Initiation

On April 27, 2007, Star Cinema's Creative Development Group (CDG) Team gave us a "Welcome Party" that would be our initiation to the scriptwriting world. Kriz had prepared two games for us to get acquainted with the rest of the group. The first game was an adaptation of Eat Bulaga's "Pinoy Henyo." (Yes, you are not transported in GMA. Nasa ABS-CBN pa rin kayo, mga kaibigan.) Titles of Star Cinema movies (from 2000-2006) were pasted on our backs, Basic CDG, together with the Advance. We had to guess the titles by asking some pertinent question regarding them that was answerable by yes or no. It took a while before I was able to guess mine but I did, with thanks to Nori who is a huge Piolo fan. It was Dreamboy.


That's Nori in the middle

The second game was called the "Doll Game." Ay, kalowkah siya! Team-up ng isang Basic at Advance (mine was Raz, one of the writers of You Got Me). The object of the game was to follow whatever the Doll Master (or should I say witch?) would do to the (voodoo) doll (pasayawin man o tusuk-tusukin ng karayom o ihagis-hagis sa ere!).

From one Doll Master to another, JP (in red shirt) to Joelian (in overall)

Kulelat sina Egg at Francis (the other writer of You Got Me), so they won. Gulo 'no? Pa'no ba naman maski si Kriz just decided on who the winners would be while the game was going on. Hehehe. Anyway, t'was fun!

Last two teams: Egg & Francis, and Anj & Jerrey

After the games, welcome speeches were given by the team headed by Ms. Amor and Ms. Tammy. Then, off we went. Past 9 PM na 'yun and we still had a 9 AM session the next day.

Pero s'ympre, bago umalis, mawawala ba naman ang group picture?
