live on air!

merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrde!!!!!!!!!!! i don't think i can work right now so i'll just write an entry here first and let it all out.

had my first ever radio interview live on air earlier. was a guest in tina monzon palma's radio show at dzmm which of course is in the abscbn compound, which we really love to hate sometimes. but that's another blog entry altogether.

well anyway, the topic is about women and children's representation in media. i don't know how they heard of isis but in a way, i'm glad they did. mavic was supposed to be there with me but it's her daughter's graduation so of course no parent will miss that gig. so i was left all alone there, and indeed i was alone, as i found out i am the only guest for one whole freaking hour to talk about sexist ads, among other things. see, we at isis kasi created a protest letter-writing campaign about the napoleon quince brandy ad which reeks of sexist disgust talaga. read all about it at http://www.isiswomen.org/campaigns/alert/alert-4-Mar-2004.html. well anyway, basta, maybe it\'s because of that kaya kami nakontak ng taga-mm. akala ko naman isa lang ako sa mga guests, like maybe from different orgs and such, but no! ako lang pala ang sole! as in seule! guest! merde!

well anyway, i felt naman that i did an okay job, but you know how i am such a big critic of myself sometimes. i hope i made some sense there. i called up m to talk about it to her but she was kinda busy so i called up my mom who was able to catch the show pala. and that's how to cure insecurities sometimes, you know, call up your parents, and they were kinda beaming and proud and all. sabi pa daw ni papa na kaya pala bilib sa kin si ms. boots anson sa premiere dati heheh. well, i guess i really needed that boost in confidence, because as i said, i felt queasy inside after that conversation sa radyo. ewan. wala lang, i guess sometimes the inner introvert still comes out every so often. bad thing it had to come out now! shyet. merde. mierda.

why did i feel queasy? aside from the gulpe de gulat na ako lang pala ang guest for one freaking hour, man, yung mga tanungan namin kasi parang weird. or at least i found them weird. masyado kasi akong conscious sa fact na i am speaking there in behalf of isis, and i find that kinda hard to do pala. i mean, i'm used to being interviewed on print and even on tv pa nga, with my cutie fez in fron of da cam pa and all heheh, but the thing is, iba pala talaga if you\'re speaking on behalf of yourself kesa sa speaking in behalf of an organization. and with isis pa, medyo added pressure pala talaga yun, kasi of course even if i know the org already, sometimes it's quite hard to project and say yeah, this is what the org does or this is what the org thinks about this and that. i think i was very conscious of that talaga, at the risk of sounding repetitive here, pero wala, i'm letting it out nga eh di ba? so bear with me. hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

well on the good side of this, i was able to meet my friend there who gives me our regular fix of THE L WORD. and i'm quite excited to watch this episode, because this is where the intrigue begins for the long-term couple!!!! shyet. oh well.

oh well. nuff about this. i guess i'm okay na. like i said in my ym status message: slurpee is the cure-all for when you feel blotchy! so i guess after downing half of the biggest gulp, i'm okay na. haaaaay...wot a day. and it's not even finished yet! wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

that certifies one thing: stardom ain't for me talaga hahahahaha so it was a nice decision to stay behind the scenes hehehehheheheee. what am i talking about? abangan sa susunod na mga blogs (kung maalala kong ikuwento. or remind me! at dahondahon@hotmail.com)
