die-SEL

i started my OJT last night at INSIDER. when i arrived at 6, they we're still preparing for Patrol, but Ms. Love toured me around the news group dept. She showed me where i would give the sequence guides and script and to whom i must give them. i was really nervous, kasi it's live and there's no room for mistakes. When the sequence guide or the tapes wouldn't be given to the respective person at a specific time I'M DEAD. my career is ova'!

As i wrote yesterday, they we're really nice. (Ms. Love and Mam Beth) Last night i met more of the staff, our Floor D Kuya Rudolf (he's cool), Ate Jake from the Graphics dept (he's hilarious), Ms. Ken PA din (super kulit), and Ms. Karen Davilla (really pretty and nice) and Mr. Erwin Tulfo (bait din and super funny).

Ms. Love also showed me around Studio 7, the control room, the Graphics dept and the TOC. She showed me the long and short cuts. I needed to be familiarized with the workplace kasi, i will be assigned to go all over the place and give them scripts,tapes and sequence guides. and i need all the luck to make it through without fail.

i was in the studio when we went on air, met the cameramen and the anchors. they we're all accomodating. Mr. Erwin Tulfo, (all the cameramen addressed him as Boss) was so funny. Sobra! (the title of this entry is because of what he said) Edmer (another intern, but it was his last day yesterday) was telling me it's fun to watch when they go on air kasi parang sitcom. and he was right.

Edmer was really nice to me. he showed me around and gave me points to remember. he gave me tips which i found very useful and he assured me that it would be fun just as long as i do my work.

Tonet my jowa was assigned to Ek Channel in Production. Actually most of us (from our school) was assigned in Production. Si Gaeity sa MTB, Jeline sa MYX (i wanted to be assigend there, but i'm happy sa news dept), Froi was also assigned sa NCAG (News and Current Affairs Group) but his show assignment was Special Assignment.

I haven't seen Kris, hope later i'll see her. Jericho din- para naman yung WHO DO YOU WANT TO MEET sa friendster ko matupad kahit isa. hehe

later!

karir!

i had my last day of orientation yesterday, and i was assigned in the News and Current Affairs Department of ABS CBN!!!! whooohoooooo! i met our Executive Producer Ms. Beth, and she was nice naman. i was expecting a very mataray EP kasi, and Ms. Love (who i think is the PA of the show) is very accomodating and she wanted me to start today na lang instead of last night. and i forgot to mention pala the show, it's "INSIDER" (yes, naman!)

i'm really excited and i'm expecting a lot of work. sana lang hindi ako mataranta and i would be focused on my work. i hope wala akong boo boo's later.
if there's a downer, but actually not really, i'll be working from 6pm to 12m! and that's QC.. buti na lang my dad offered to be my driver. hehe

at first all i wanted was to get in the internship program of ABS. that meant, any show would do. besides getting into their internship gives you a little edge over those who would apply for work to the station, in the future. but i'm really happy and really LUCKY to be assigned in the "INSIDER".

so there, i'm officially a student trainee of ABS CBN's INSIDER.

and as Ma'am GiGi said in our orientation, " ang ojt dito sa ABS kinakareer!"

well, before that, at the start of the week (monday) my boyfriend was really galit. as in, he would not answer my calls and would not reply to my texts! as in! it was my fault, and wednesday before my last test, i went all the way to alabang to talk to him and be make peace *hehe* so there, hindi niya ako matiis (yabang! ok na kasi kami) we're ok na!

KAPAMILYA

for my friends who know me very well, they know how much i wanted to have my internship in ABS.
lucky me, i'm having my orientation on tuesday and wednesday. so happy! pero my god ang transportation ko!!! 30 papunta and almost 40 pauwi!! hay naku! welcome quezon city talaga!

ALICIA KEYS

"If I Ain't Got You" A. Keys
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
And in a world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

oh well, i'll miss the alicia keys concert tommorow. i don't have money to buy tickets eh!
i tried winning the tickets in tv shows, who i can't believe gives away ticket just like that.

i'll just sing if i aint got you in my cd player na lang..

it would be so nice if jog and i could watch it. haaay! that's kinda our song...

not connected

our two phone lines we're disconnected for 3 days. and it was like i can't do anything without the phone...crazy i know but that's how i felt. there was no internet of course kaya sobrang booring!!!!!

one tree hill and the O.C

i was talking to gian last night, and i told her that even if a lot of people and i read everywhere that i should watch these shows, when i finally had time and watched it, i've realized i'm OLD. i know, that OA coz i'm only 21, but one tree hill is like, about highschool and O.C. is very much like dawson's creek in college and with a lot of money. i'm sorry for those who enjoy watching it, im not saying it's not good, it's just that, i feel it's not for me anymore.

i mean, even if i think chad michael murray is cute, even if i feel i have to see him every tuesday,i don't think i could spend an hour watching his show and just look at him and say "it's ok, he's cute naman eh"

speakin of tv shows, last night i was able to catch Simple Life 2, and although i know it's annoying how bratty and kind of self centered they are i enjoy watching it. sorry.

breast cancer awareness month

as i was blog hopping and reading one of my fav blogs, Ala posted that it's breast cancer awareness month this october. so there, i'm just trying to spread the word!

i watched Rio Diaz lifestory on Maalala mo kaya last night, and i just could not help but cry and admire her strength and faith. she's amazing and a real inspiration not only to cancer patients but also to us who are so blessed to be healthy and alive.

coming home

my dear boyfriend arrived lunch time today!
i had a day full of agenda, but when he texted when i was finishing my spagetti at Mc Do, i knew i had to cancel.
TO DO LIST:
- take make up quiz, who cares! finals na next week! who is she kidding?
-pass my e.p readings, i can do that tommorow.
-have chest x-ray, a reuqirement for ABS-CBN OJT (yes, they called,we just have to complete our requirements by tuesday next week!) i'll do it tommorow na lang.
-pass my script, i asked my friends to pass it for me, what are friends for?
those are the things i missed just to see my boyfriend! it was all worth it!!!!
he was tanned! gwapo!!!
we had early dinner at our favorite carinderia, and he had a lot of pasalubong, mostly food for my family, i got a coin purse and thats it. ah, barquillos pala! but Princess, ate half of it.
i'm really happy he's back home, hope he can rest well tonight and tom, kasi wala naman siya class.
last night, i'm officially a crazy girl. i finished my script at 3 a.m. i was dead tired, had back pains na. when i climbed myself to bed, got my cell, i thought of texting him, to say i just finished and i'm about to sleep. then while i was composing the message, and super tired, that's when i felt I MISS HIM and cried! i was used to talking to him after a hell day, before sleeping and last night i was dead tired and nobody's giving me the comfort he gives, even without me asking for it.
yah, i cried, only later to realize he's coming home today, and i only have to wait for hours na lang. imagine, i managed to be ok, calm, and kept myself busy since the day he left. i didn't cry, sometimes it hits me that he's malayo and all but i didn't cry. kagabi lang. weird!
so there, i'm really happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
later!
