WARNING: THIS POST IS LONG AND NOT EVEN FUNNY. YEAH, IT HAS PHOTOS, TOO SOOO… It’s pretty much the explanation of why I was on hiatus the past 2 months.
~~
I just came out of a war and it was called Bagong Liwanag.
Sigh. It’s over. Finally. For 2 months, my life was Rivermaya. Actually, until now, it hasn’t quite settled on me yet that the final credits have rolled already. Seems it was just like yesterday when we were having a meeting at the office about the title of the show (which eventually became the title of their EP) and how each episode would go. And I clearly remember locking myself up in my room and crying my eyes out because I didn’t want to take the project- it was too much pressure, I thought.
As you probably know, I ended up directing it and I’m sure I would’ve regretted it big time if I chickened out at the beginning. I mean, all the shoots were fun, starting from the auditions at UP to the eliminations at Mag:Net to the finals at Music Museum (if anyone back in college told me that I’d be directing a historic event IMO with some of the country’s top musical acts at my age, I would’ve laughed at them)!!!

@ Anndie
About the sexy part… Hmmm… Not that sure. XD I’m 22 and not to fish or anything and it was a great accomplishment don’t get me wrong but I still believe there’s more out there than what I’ve seen or done. It was a humbling experience to say the least. ^^;;
Thanks! I realized that that angle is rather flattering for me.
@ Rossi
Hell yeah you bet!! I saw to it that I had the makeup artist do me first before every shoot. Ahahahaha.
ps: Have you forgotten Jin and I are sisters??
@ Milu
Everything I’m doing here is but a preparation for my career in Japan. LOL.
@ Hydee
Actually yeah, that’s what my boss has been telling me. But I try not to think about it that much. Although it’s been a great experience, that’s true.
@ Bibi
BABE! I know! I miss you, too! Thanks thanks! Finally I’d get back to my old life. Woot!

KRINGU-CHAN! It’s been a while :0 thesis sucks kaya yan..mas naging busy ata kami kesa sayo ^___^;;
HOMG! I *rabu* Rivermaya’s bassist so much :0 (though I don’t know his name LOLZ XD) Whenever Plastic Tree is currently involved as my as-of-now-my-current-fandom (yeah….my fandom even before I met Shige and Kanjani8 and JE XD), their music always reminded me of Rivermaya…
I’ve been able to watch only a few parts of it though >__<;; But OMEDETOU TO YOU AND TO RIVERMAYA
Hoping you more projects to come and Rivermaya w/ a good year full of music
