entry arrow10:56 PM | OSA Memories

I remember the last time I directed the Outstanding Sillimanian Awards. It was 2010. I was bound for the U.S. for a writing fellowship on the day of the ceremony itself. So for more than two months, I meticulously prepared everything, from scripting to blocking to music to videos to slides, and then I gave my assistant director just one simple instruction: “Just press this button sa laptop, and the show will start.” I was giving minor last minute instructions over the phone even as I was walking towards my flight at NAIA 1. Then the plane taxied, and I was off, and that was that. I heard it was the best OSA I’ve ever done in the ten years I was directing it. Then I decided to exit on that high, and I’ve never directed another OSA ever again.
