November 12, 2008.  Wednesday. I woke up with my whole body aching.  As if I had a strenuous workout the day before.  I was still exhilirated and at the same time, tired. What happened to me yesterday was just only sinking in today. I was just feeling it now.  And I allowed myself to cry out to God with thanksgiving.  Yes, I cried thanking God for what happened to me.  It was totally unbelievable! And it happened to me! -oOo- I took the day off from work, calling in sick.  Somebody told me that my episode would air either this Friday (Nov. 14) or on Monday (Nov. 17).  It aired on Monday.  (Please see my previous entry, And On With the Show ). -oOo- Your grace is sufficient for me.  Your strength is made perfect when I am weak.  All that I cling to, I lay at your feet.  You grace is sufficient for me.  

So many scenes were edited out of the 30-minute show.  Hmmm... 7 minutes were alotted for the commercials.  -oOo- Being the last one to be taped (there were three tapings that day), it appeared that Kris Aquino was already tired.  It showed, as a matter of fact. In the middle of the game, she seemed to get bored from it all.  But towards the end of the game, when the people in the studio were getting excited, her energy picked up.  Kris is a very good gameshow host.  Her timing is impeccable.  And she's nice when she wants to be.  And yes, hindi siya maarte (She's not prissy) .  Even if my face was full of sweat and cautioned her about it, she gave me a buss, saying, "ok lang." (It's okay.) -oOo-      When the game finished, we all had an opportunity to have a picture with the host (of course) and Veronica, the 26k girl who's holding my choice of suitcase. After the photo op, the 26k girls were asked...

Rating: ★★★★ Category: Music Genre: Pop Artist: Regine Velasquez This is what the other side of Regine Velasquez is. And it's so refreshing! After picking some "quiet" songs she did in her other albums (which I also posted here), Low Key is a rewarding experience for me. The covers (very good choice of songs) were rearranged to showcase Regine's vocal range without having her shouting. The result is a tempered Regine, a far cry from the belter that the public knows so well. Truly, it's a treat for the ears sans the ear-piercing high notes she's known for. By all means, buy a copy.

November 11, Tuesday. Coordinating my kapamilya  (those who have played with me in the mock game, and an additional four more players) was somewhat easy, except for the fact that Mimi (the producer) had to beg off because of a prior commitment--she had a recording of a radio commercial and a meeting with a client.  My line up of players were now: Papa, Tito Bine, Tita Chona, Waldy, Erwin, Meach (Mimi's proxy), best friend Ruel and his sister Rhoda, cousin Ogie and Emily. Tito Bine, Tita Chona and Kuya Ogie went straight to Mother Ignacia around 10am.  Papa will go straight to Mother Ignacia after his hearing.  Ruel and Rhoda left their home around 11am and will just see each other in the area.  I called up Joseph and asked him to fetch me and Emily from home and deliver us to Mother Ignacia.  Ruel, Rhoda, Emily, Meach and I went to Joey Pepperoni.  We had a quick lunch except for Meach.  She had with her some food she bought at...

November 7.  Friday.  A week has passed and I still haven't heard from Channel 2.  Hmmm... will I play on KDOND or has my journey ended with the VTR?  Arrggg!  I hate this waiting game.  I am on edge.  Every time my cellphone rings, I eagerly answer it, especially if the number is an unregistered one.  It might be the staff from KDOND after all.  But the calls all came from the human resource department of some call centers... Oh well... -oOo- November 10.  Monday. Around past 6pm.  I got a call.  I was in transit, on my way home.  The call came from Kapamilya Deal or No Deal . I was set to tape for the game show tomorrow.  Yes!
