Long Lasting Lingering effect of Bath and Body Desserts…. the elements that makes it wonderfully awesome and great for sensitive skin.

Dear Multipliers:

I never recommend something I haven’t tried and don’t believe in. Yes! na-experience ko po ang Massage/Body Oil, Eau de Vanilla and Vanilla Bath Syrup. I thought it would fail me and not last the whole day. To my suprise it surpassed my expectation that the scent lasted the whole day considering I was on location for a shoot.

Di ko naman kayo bobolahin para sabihin na… till midnight bonggang bongga…. lahat ng bagay kailangan ng re-touch. But the scent simply had the pefect combination with my body chemistry.

What lingered other than the smell was the smoothness of my skin… ang sosyal! Check it out. http://bathandbodydesserts.multiply.com/

In fairness, kahit walang in fairness… It made me smile, made me feel good about myself… Pampering oneself is not a sin. It’s a must.

I remember that one must learn to love oneself. Because we cannot give what we do not have. These maybe too external as basis of loving oneself. But then again, why make life complicated if we could smile at the simple gifts/perks of life. Go and find something simple that would make you smile. It maybe something that money can or cannot buy. We often neglect ourselves. We have focused so much of simply making others smile… That too can be tiring if we do not refresh or recharge ourselves. It could be draining. Take time out. Relax! Make yourself smile. Pamper yourself. Affirm yourself. Love yourself. God wants you to. God loves you so He does wants you to love yourself as well.

Caution: Anything that is of excess is bad. Too much self love could be simply being selfish. Don’t want to be preachy but for real… God can fill up those loopholes of love and balance those love into it’s proper area where it’s just needed.

I love it!

A peace of claudine

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

" Walang Kapalit" is my nth soap opera with Claudine Baretto. We started working toether from ‘Mula sa puso’ and so on… I have known Claudine, her moods, temparaments, pet peeves and et al.  What’s the diff? She has grown to be a ver good actress since the first time I have worked with her.

She has shown something different here in ‘Walang kapalit’. She has attacked scenes differently from the way I would expect her to attack and handle the scenes same as before. Not to mention ‘ buntis ng bonggang-bongga’ this lady I am talking about. I remember when i was pregnant and working..’ang arte ko’. Claude just worked, slept, ate, worked, slept and ate… not that fuzzy at all.

Is it because

1. She has gone through a lot

2. Direk Wen-Claudine tandemn has never failed to impress the viewers.

3. Must be the partner: Piolo Pascual…

Honestly, I think it’s the peace and joy that is just shining inside and out. She is just so steadily calm and has that peace within, that makes her so open with things, having no distractions, having no barriers to protect, making her talent more shine with the joy that she has.

As I was watching the ‘prison scenes’ of Claudine. I saw a different claudine. A mature, more experienced person and a deeper, more prepared actor. A survivor finally reaping her harvest from all that has gone through.

I know a lot of things can still happen with her, with me, with us… but if we just hold on to that peace and joy within us then everything will be well. Every thing will just pass off our sleeves without a sweat. That’s joyfully peaceful, huh?

pasilip nga. from my point of view.

Pasilip nga…

That’s how I exactly feel when I take pictures of people, candid or not. It feels that there’s a piece of that person that she/he has shared solely with me with the way she smiled, pouted, posed or whatever.

It’s a connection between the photographer and the subject. A connection that only the two can understand and feel. Pictures don’t just capture poses. It captures emotions, state of being, inner desires, bolted up feelings, and most often than not it captures real moments of reactions and experiences.

When capturing landscapes, non-living things I feel that I am putting life into these things with the angles…. making them talk to me in some manner. Capturing landscapes, nature is a different story again because it’s taking home what is God given making it more tangible to be appreciated.

I want to be a photographer. I can say I have points with esthetics but don’t have technical knowledge. 

Looking at photography this way. Having this kind of opinion with photography, would I consider myself ‘tsismosa’? Maninilip ba ako? Curious? Or simply interested with what’s happenning around? or I may simply be bored with what I am doing and what to further challenge myself…


Whatever,… aminin mo, masarap manilip. Masarap manilip na may permiso

Kaya siya megastar

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Here I am again excited, eager, nervous…(mixed emotions)

Meron akong guesting sa Sharon. I’ve been in the business for quite sometime now but still there are but few stars/actresses that makes me feel like a fan… In awe on how they are as human beings, as performers…

Si Sharon Cuneta ay megastar. Aminin natin iyan. At iyan ang binigay sa kanyang title ng industriyang ito.Tumaba, pumayat, lumapad, lumiit…megastar pa rin siya. Walang pakialam ang mga Client sa itsura ni mega… basta kailangan si mega ang mag-eendorse ng produkto nila. Kesehodang pahabain nila si mega, wag patayuin, kalahati lang ang mukha, kahit boses na lang ang marinig basata dapat tunog mega, markadong si mega ito…

Aminin natin. Iyan naman talaga si mega. Mega- endorser.

Aysus! Mega- charming din naman kasi. yes, maybe being a political daughter trained her to be endearing to the masses. One has to admit that no matter what if you ain’t that person, one day it will just show. Until this day i must say inate ni Sharon yung charm na iyan.

Mantakin mo… Kilala niya ang lahat ng tao. Di ko alam kung bakit ganun na lang ang memory ng taong ito. Pero kilala niya ang lahat. Not only does she know the names of the people but she also knows what they do and where they are busy at. Meron pa siyang time for that.

Sincere…the person is sincere.

God fearing. Not righteous or pa-clean but fears God, respects God and believes in God. In that aspect it then shows with the way she treats people.

Perfectionist. Aba naman kung ikaw ay isang mega star, dapat lang naman…diba?!

may tantrums daw…weno ngayon…ikaw ba wala?

Transparent. Wise. Learned her lessons the hard way. Instinctive. Merong tatak Sharon. Tunog Sharon. Galaw Sharon. Komentong Sharon. At sinanay tayo ng industriya sa mga bagay na ito… kaya siya megastar.

Sanayan lang ba talaga? Hindi parati. Hindi madalas. May kasamang talento, dasal, pagod, pagtitiis, pagsunod, paghihintay, at kasama sa plano ng Panginoon…  kaya siya megastar.
At naniniwala ako na sa lahat ng bagay, ito ang sangkap para makamit ang kanya-kanyang bituin… Ikaw ano ang plano mo? Yung plano mo ba pareho sa plano nung nasa itaas?

Napagpalnuhan ka na bago ka pa simulan kaya check mo kung pareho kayo ng foreplan….

Dealing with the gameshow experience.

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Thursday:

Deal TC (talent coordinator): sige na po, miss candy, maglaro na po kayo…

Candy: When?

Deal TC: Bukas po.

Candy: Bukas? okay ka lang. nasa shooting pa ako at di ako handa.

Deal TC: sige na po. ms. cqandy…masaya po ito…

Indeed being persistent has it’s fruits. So I agreed. Initially, friends were the ones to help me but then again due to the lack of preparation and time all my friends were very busy and couldn’t make it for the taping. okay lang naman.

So they asked me to bring my family.

At 7pm we were at ABSCBN. Weird to have my family in the studio. I am not used to having them around at my workplace.

I already had a number on mind and that was 3. Though the people around me kept on giving me other numbers they think is significant for me… well yes, they can actually be significant numbers to me, but that day those numbers just don’t strike me at all.

I asked my son for a number and he said ‘3′.

So… I went for 3….

Di naman ako kinakabahan until I saw krissy coming in the studio. Deal or no deal is a game of chance and I know I had the chance. But I just so engrossed with the game and forgot to stick with what I believed in. I got too involved on what other people thought that I didn’t zeroed in to what my gut feel was telling me and that was too fight.

Nevertheless, I ain’t sorry. I had nothing to lose. I had a good game and had fun playing, getting nervous, with the experience. I know now why people spend time at places to try their luck…It’s not the winning that is addicting but it’s the uncertainness that is addicting, the feeling of being edgy… I don’t want to use the word gamble because no investment from my part.

I know the feeling and it’s quite addicting…

I had the 1m briefcase but I chose to get the bankers deal of 300,000.00P. all good. pumunta naman ako doon na walang dala at umuwi ako ng meron…makakabigay pa ako sa mga foundations.

I thought just like all the other shoots, works that I have done and has been shown everything ends there. With the game show is different. Everybody has something to say. Everyone had a piece of their mind with what had happened with the game. That’s quite weird because ‘iba talaga pag nandun ka na in reality’.

After which I ponder with the decisions I made that day. There’s ’sayang’ feeling. Mixed emotions before I did the game and after the game. One thing I’ve learned. Yes, it’s a game. In a game the players play… so enjoy till the end. If a players stops playing and gets serious and not play. It goes the other way around making the game play with the players. Get niyo?! basta…

It’s not just a show experience, it’s different. It’s a game show experience
