so much for my tv debut!

there. i was on live national television early this morning... on a segment called atomic bam on studio 23's breakfast. yes, my television debut.

this morning was a blast. as in blast kung blast.

woke up effortlessly at exactly 4am. took a shower and did the least that i can do to my facial hair--shave. which ended with a shave cut above my lip. also, the least thing you want on your face hours before your television debut! could do nothing to hide it, but at the very least, was able to stop it from bleeding. naging isa siyang major issue. pero i kept my hopes high and diverted my attention from the cut.

made my way to sgt. esguerra avenue in quezon city from parañaque. arrived 20 minutes ahead of the 6.30am calltime. and yeah, the guards at the entrance were nice. they were so nice that they don't bother if people entering without abscbn id's are really guests or not. hindi ako kagad dumerecho sa studio #17. nahihiya kasi ako. didn't want to have that clueless face. so i waited for kriz at the entrance.

hindi siya yung kasama ko sa segment kundi si trixie na sa mga pnahong iyon ay nasa balintawak exit pa lang ng nlex! he just went there to support us since he was responsible for putting us in that show. (thaaaanks so much kriz! mwehehe)

and i few minutes later, kriz and i were at the studio #17. at so0o0o0o0brang lamig. we stayed sa audience area and the news clips we were to discuss sa segment. talk about pinaghalong lamig at kaba. i did not have my jacket with me so sobrang, nanginginig ako. pati ngipin ko nagchachatter! JITTERS KUNG JITTERS!

sabay hirit si kriz na "i don't get it why you're so nervous". kumusta naman diba? thanks, it helped a lot. ahahaha.

the show started a bit late. so jampacked at sunod-sunod ang segments. ours was included in the first few segments. so when we were cued for make-up, si trixie pa lang ang namemake-up-an ng biglang we were called back to the studio.

so, ok lang kahit wala akong make-up, but then, the cut was obviously shouting pink. two pink lines above my lips. kumusta? argh. i just have to do the segment, i thought. and another least thing i could do was to sit in a way that the cut would be minimally or really unseen in the tv screen. so i sat beside bam aquino. perfect! my right side faces the camera. but then, bam gets to see my left side. at ang una niyang sabi sakin, "oh, what's that? shave cut?" and so i replied, yeah yeah...

well the segment went fine. except from some blunders from me, and my occasional expressions "uh-uhm" and slang "parunggg"... i enjoyed it. and it was, relatively long. it lasted 10 whole minutes. a show under time pressure like breakfast, could not allow a segment to be that long... but i believe bam and atom araullo enjoyed our company kaya hindi na alintana ang haba ng segment namin. well, same here. i enjoyed it as well.

but it was awkward, i really wanted a photo with them taken. pero walang time, wala din sa lugar. the set was so0o0o busy. after atomic bam, they prepared na agad for the next segment. although accomodating si bam, hindi naman pwedeng magstay pa kami sa set ni trix. so we just decided to leave the studio and have coffee at choco kiss.

woohoo! it was really fun. really really really. on our way to UP, biglang dagsa ang mga text sa amin ni trixie. nagulat pa ako na may nakapanuod saking hyskul friend ko na hindi ko naman nasabihang manuod. ahahaha.

oh. whattaday! 10 minutes of fame, over.

now, we're getting ready, trix and i, for our next tv guesting... hehehehe. y speak, maybe? that's soon! very soon! ahahaha
