Sexy Nomad is part of the new Mar Roxas TV commercial!

July 19, 2009

 July 10, 2009. Call Time was at 6:00 am. I was thankful that the location of the shoot was just here in Sucat, Paranaque, in one of GMA 7’s studios, a few minutes away from Alabang where we live.  The moment I got there, the camera crew was already busy preparing their stuff.

All the talents were asked to stay first in an airconditioned studio/warehouse where we waited for further instructions as we took our breakfast. I was so excited that I couldn’t eat what they prepared for us (true breakfast meal of rice, eggs and meat) 

 

Would you believe, this whole compound was turned into a real palengke (public market)! How awesome! They also used real fruits, vegetables, meat products, etc. I’m telling you, by middday, I couldn’t anymore distinguish the studio from the make-believe scene. It was even starting to smell like a real public market! LOL!

 

 At around 8-9 am, Senator Mar Roxas arrived! He was sooo kind to let the talents smother him. And he was sooo handsome, so far from the way he looks like on photos and on TV.  I was too shy at first but then I thought, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity! So I went ahead and stole a photo with him. Teehee.

 

 Then it was shooting time! I didn’t know that Joel Lamangan (the chubby guy at the bottom left) was to be the commercial’s director at that time. Woah!!! The only downside was, he was such a perfectionist. He wanted every scene to be perfect. Thus, we finished at around 11 pm that day. Soooo tiring! I even overheard a lot of talents saying “Anubayan! Di naman pang FAMAS tong ginagawa natin! Commercial lang to. Bakit paulit-ulit?!” But I didn’t mind, really. I’m used to these kinds of things. I enjoyed every minute of it all. Thanks to Direk Joel Lamangan, even if I was just doing an extra role (meaning, I’m not even sure if you guys will see me on TV once the commercial airs [a friend told me it’s already airing]), I got to kiss and hug him over and over again (38 times I think!). This was the scene before the kid Vincent spotted him in the middle of the public market. ^_^ 

 

 At 11 pm, when Senator Roxas was about to leave, I took the opportunity to have a photo op with him. I was still feeling shy but what the heck!

 

 I also managed to take a photo with Vincent, quite a talented young kid. I just waited for my talent fee then off I went home, extremely tired but happy. Thanks to my kind hubby Peter, he waited for me and drove me home. ^_^
