lifestyle of the rich and famous

i wonder how they all do it? i wonder how they get to shoot a tvc with just one take.. and have a great photo shoot without wasting a single shot?!

been invited this morning to do just that.. a tvc for a telecom company.. i had to wake up early since call time is at 8 am.. i got there.. not even knowing what to do.. don't even know the people around me, and yet there i was.. fighting to stay awake at least and trying to memorize one line.. sounds simple isn't it?!

well, you think you had it down, and you all got yourself perked up.. but when the cameras roll.. you get jitters.. suddenly a thousand butterflies take flight in your stomach.. then you forget that one line you rehearsed the nth time a few hours before.. damn!! to top all that, there are at least 10 people within the set, all giving you instructions on what to do.. suddenly, pieces of acting advice came pouring in.. yup.. i'm not a born actress.. it took me several takes (make that 6 or so.. i lost count!) to hit the right shot.. and the bright lights on the set isn't helping.. i'm sweating all over.. haha!! good thing the director and the staff were really nice.. thanks guys!! and jaymie of pinoy uplate of abs-cbn was really great! helping me with my spiel.. thanks a lot!!

and yup.. jaymie, i may be wearing a green and white top, but i'm a true blue atenean!! will beat those la salle asses next year!! hehehe!!

so, after the tvc shoot, photo shoot came in next.. i had nice coaches.. haha!! the goal is to smile, fake it, smile again, and fake it.. act happy, act natural.. damn! i didn't realize it's gonna be that hard!! the photographer was like, "angle a bit here.. smile.. say hi!.. say wow!.. take a deep breath.. relax.. look happy.. look at your cellphone.. nice.. that's it!" whew!! damn!!!

it was a fun experience though.. acting silly and smiling for no reason at all.. haha!! do i want that kind of life? hmmm.. nah.. i'd leave it to the expert / professional.. ariane can definitely pull this one off with just a take or two.. hehe.. thanks friend for keeping me company thru text! hahaha!! luv yah!!
