At the Dimming of the Day ( The Post-effect)

It is a tired night as I head to my room. It would be even more tired to remain in the studio. Waiting for the guest speaker, interviewer( rule No.1, you must strive to be early asap to be on the set), other crews, etc..As if to wait for the whole world. It would be good to have less NGs for the day. It would be good if we do not need a particular location, a particular weather and time for the production but just in the studio. Otherwise, the hours seem like years. Nevertheless, it's a good break to do outdoor shooting although studio is preferred.

What you watch in the idiot box could take less than an hour but in actual it goes on for hours and hours in the production all the more with the waiting, NGs and obstacles and the unexpected.

Life often appears in this way, doesn't it?
It takes years to build a dignified, respectable reputation but a scandal is enough to tarnish the all good, squeaky clean image.
It takes years to build a residential area but it doesn't take long to demolish it.
It takes time to bake that carrot walnut cake but it is finished in minutes when you serve it.
It takes time to build a relationship but when it turns lemon, the 'ship' doesn't take long to sink.

However, the post-production effects should be considered.

It is a fulfilling day and inexplicable gladness when the production ends well. The video-editing is done. The text is well-inserted. The show goes on air and well-received from viewers including the critics.
Yes, when your heart agrees with what you enjoy doing.

Likewise, we discover the facade behind the squeaky, clean figure. But, we also learn at the end of the day, everyone is vulnerable, fallible and we are no less too. Thus, we should perhaps, learn to be less judgmental.

The cake is no longer on the table but you absorb the nutrients (provided if you used real food ingredients).
The cake fills the hungry mouth-children who are struggling for the main 3 meals in a day.

Yes, the relationship has ended but you have walked out from it. From the abusive man. From that selfish woman. A sense of new freedom.


This song lingers with me tonight.  Yup, 90s again.=)
