Don't Quit

I'm stealing a little bit of time to write in here.

Things have been really hectic nowadays. Alot of organisation to do.

I'm glad that almost everything is progressing quite smoothly, thanks to Marie, my dear production manager, who's really good!

And the issue with that particular authority has been resolved. It takes a lot of re-planning.

I still have enough sleep at night, but it probably isn't too peaceful because I constantly dream about this project (sometimes they're nightmares, so I hope it wouldn' t be a case of deja vu!)

I've came across a beautiful poem that completely expresses what we're going through, thanks to Sister Majorie, Principal of Maris Stella Kindergarten, who showed us the book while we're working on their fund-raising video.

Here it goes:

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong
as they sometimes will;
when the road you are trudging
seems all uphill;
when funds are low and debts are high
and you want to smile
but you have to sigh;
when care is pressing you down a bit,
rest, if you must,
but don't you quit.

Life is strange
with its twist and turns,
as every one of us sometimes learns
and many a failure turns about
when they might have won,
had they stuck it out.

Don't give up
though the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
the silver tint of the cloud of doubt,
and you never can tell
how close you are;
it may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit.
It's when things seem worst
you must not quit.

Less than half a month to go till principal photography... we've truly come this far, so much closer to the middle point.

We're not going to quit.
