Corsarius, Back on TV

Update 11/17/07: Airing will be on November 18 at 7 P.M.

Update: The airing has been postponed to November 18. And even that date is tentative. Sorry for this belated notice; their own notice to me was also belated.

If you have the time, catch me later on At Your Pleasure, Nancy hosted by Nancy Castiglione, airing at around 2-3 pm (basta hapon daw e) on the new Makisig Network (channel 76/82 at SkyCable/ HomeCable, ch. 84 if you have an analog box installed).

I think the weird lighting wreaked havoc on our faces. The two sides of my face don’t match. Heh.

The episode is about toys, and I will be sharing my experiences in amassing airplane collector’s models. It will mark the first time in over a decade that I’ll appear on TV. (For some reason, I don’t miss those days as a ‘budding child actor’. I guess I prefer staying at home and writing/reading books/playing video games. And blogging.)

Some tidbits from the episode’s taping, which was held last October 30 (a few days after our Youthlinks radio guesting):

Makisig Network’s office along Timog Avenue was sleek and brand new. Heck, it even smelled brand new.
Very accomodating and friendly people, the network’s men and women were, from the security guard to the cameraman to the producer. Many thanks to Miss Penny Quesada, producer Yamby Yambao, and the many others whose names I didn’t quite catch.
Miss Nancy Castiglione struck me as person you’d have no problem chatting with. Bubbly, and yes, very beautiful in the flesh.
I walked into the taping with my English vocabulary having just woken up from a reveille. I’ve used English sparingly since I entered the For-Tagalog-Only workshop almost half a year ago. I think I didn’t screw up conversing with Nancy. Or did I. Grah.
While we were having a photoshoot with my ‘toys’ (outside the studio after the taping), two statuesque ladies sashayed by. To my surprise, it was Maureen Larrazabal and Francine Prieto, both of whom I admire for their work in my favorite show Bubble Gang. (And also because they’re drop-dead stunning. But of course.) The scene:
Francine & Maureen: Wow, ang cute… [Takes a look at the planes laid out on the table.]

Yamby Yambao: This is Phillip, our guest [blah blah]…

Francine & Maureen: Sa ‘yo lahat ‘yan? (Are all of these yours?)

Me: Yeah.

Maureen: [Leans closer. Yes, she's that tall.] So, magagalit ka ba kung masira ko ang isa d’yan? (So, will you get angry if I break one of these?)

Me: Kung ikaw, okey lang. [Torpe smile.] (If you’ll be the one to do that, it’ll be fine with me.)

Garro told me later that I should’ve said, “Depende sa kung ano ang ipapambawi mo.” (Depends on what you’re going to pay to make up for it.) Haha. The type of line I can never pull off. Unfortunately.

illyria, allow me to sling the question back at you: you appeared on TV, too? and allow me to borrow some words from you, as i feel exactly the same: god, i try not to remember those times i did. but then you do crazy shit when youâ€™re young, right? LOL.
