I'm starting to miss my staple pistas.
Pasig Rainforest Park, Pasig

Bigla akong binalikan ng mga sinasabi kong ayoko ng pista-- mas nanaisin ko na ang mabigat na set-up kumpara sa walang ka latoy-latoy na segment na ito. Buti na lang may mga bata akong kasama kahit papano na-liven up ang event.
Oh, hindi pala si Tim Yap yang blondie ha, si Eagle Yan.

145th Birth anniversary ni Jose Rizal
Calamba, Laguna

Swerte na naman at nakalamang kami dito. Mas maganda ang area ko kumpara sa kabila eh. Kawawa naman sila, I'm starting to feel sorry for them for their misfortunes. Kasalanan naman nila kasi, lagi silang late dumating kaya lagi kaming nakalalamang.

June 15 2006- KOI KOI KOI-Magallanes
Sinong mag-aakalang PATOK ang segment na isdang KOI?!

Ah ewan. They (KOI lang ha, not all fishes in general) all look the same to me. upon knowing KOI can be eaten, I had this sudden urge to eat sushi. Sayang at hindi nako kumakain ng kanin, hmp.
Punyeta, isda= P25,000? Meron pa ngang P 100,000 eh. Syet.

Araw ng Kalayaan- Aguinaldo Shrine, Kawit, Cavite- June 12, 2006

Aba-aba-aba. Ang D0s ay nanduon, as expected. Kinabahan na ako nang makitang maaga ang mga host nilang gumayak. Ngunit mas nakalamang kami dahil mas malapit ako sa bahay ni Aguinald0. Hihihi. Nag-tour pa ang lola ko (regine) sa loob ng haus ng unang presidente ng republika. Nakita pa syang kumakaway sa mismong balkonahe kung saan unang winagayway ang bandila ng pilipinas. Marahil nagtaka si Vice President D3 Castr0 bakit kami ang mas maganda ang set-up. Hihihi. Kaya kahit mainit, at nagtatakbo ako along with Raymond at matuyo ang lalamunan ko sa kakasigaw, it's all worth it. yey.

Monday-June 5, 2006 Commonwealth Elementary School
Host: Drew
Unang Araw na pasukan at ispesyal coverage ng News & Public Affairs kaya mataas ang demand sa amin sa remote. Isa pang concern ay ang pagrereformat ng kabilang programa. (Hindi sa pagyayabang pero hello nakaka-ilang reformat na sila, effective ba naman? hmp) Paaabutin ba nila ang title ng programa nila na M@gand@ng Umag@ buong Mund0?!
Ah ewan. Baka warlahin ako ng mga taga dun no, lalu pa't may ilang mga staff na mula sa aming programa na naroon ngayon.
Anyhoo, newsy-newsy ang

Tuesday-June 6,2006- Paranaque National High School
Host: Drew
Isa lang ang ulit-ulitin kong sasabihin: May jinx ang pagsabi na "walang kwenta ang event na ito."

Dorm Make-over
Gloretta De Manila Dormitel, San Sebastian St. University Belt, Manila

Is there such as word as 'D0rmitelle'?
Pauso na naman ang pinoy, panalo! At ang pangalan ah, in fairness, it sounds so-so.. sosyal. Pwede ba.

Alimango Festival-Calauag, Quezon



This is by far, the farthest LIVE REMOTE EVENT I've covered travelling by land. The 7 hour drive (stopovers included) should be worth it, I told myself. Pffft. As if I have a choice. The Alimangos from Calauag Quezon are gargantuan, they look menacing and cruel. Or probably it's just me frightened since I am not accustomed with seeing such humongous crawling creatures.
Highlight segment: Discussion about "gay" alimango courtesy of eagle
Without sweety shellybons, this event wouldn't be possible. I love her!

Merit notebooks
Napakapangit na shot naman nito. Hmp.
I now have a whole lot respect for the folks who manufacture notebooks. I look back seeing myself when I was in higschool recycling some of my notebooks. Imagine the spring notebooks are manually inserted in each holes on the paper, wow!

Sidenote: a week after this event the competition called the notebook factory saying they also want to do a live segment similar with what "Unang Hirit" did.
gaya-gaya. pwe.

Monofin 101-Amoranto stadium pools, Roces Ave, Q.C.

Nothing could make IC happier in this event. IC, D0lly Carvaj@l's kid is turning to a woman as he flirts while the trainer attempts to "train" him using Monofins.

UTANG NA LOOB! AYOKO NA MAGPALENGKE!
[walang picture, anong silbi mag-effort?]



PRICE WATCH SA M3GA-Q-MARKETPLACE (or something to that effect)
Cubao, Q.C.
I couldn't care less if N3PA-Q-MART changed its name to something else.
Nakalimutan kong ilagay sa "hates" side ng blog na ito ang PALENGKE. I super dread having to hold coverages in the wet market. Hindi ako maarte; aba namamalengke kaya ako, I just think "price watch" are supposedly the straight NEWS program's jobs to take care of. I think wasting more than three hours in a fetid market with flying roaches and getting your poor crew get their asses down and dirty isn't worth it at all. But typically holding our events here usually means one thing: Walang Storya.

Mother's day flowers-
Bulaklakan ng Maynila para kay Inay
DANGWA FLOWER MARKET
Dos Castillas Cor. Dimasalang st.


Narito na naman ang panahon kung saan dalawang beses tumataas ang presyo ng mga bulaklak than its regular amount. Ito na naman ang panahon na dinudumog ang bulaklakan ng Maynila ng mga tao upang bigyang pugay ang pinaka importanteng babae sa kanilang buhay.
Oh yes, it's mother's day season once again.
Hindi lamang dapat tuwing mother's day ang pagbibigay pugay kay inay no. Dapat araw-araw noh.

Mother's day gift ideas sa Ti3ndesitas with T3ssa Niet0 as guest host

Ayoko ng Vig@n empan@da. I don't see what the hoopla is all about.
I may have an Ilocano blood but never would I enjoy another Vigan empanada. It's too sinful. I could just imagine the look on Drew's face upon learning I downed almost two large pieces of Vig@n emp@nada. Him being the epitome of healthy eating would defintely don a sorry look on me. I can't believe Tes$a Niet0, one of my favorite people in the world ate too much and not gain weight. Arrgh.

So on with the event...
We opened Tiendesitas very early to give a headstart on what to give moms on mothers' day. Nothing too fabulous or extremely fancy, everything was nice and subtle, and I was just pissed that we weren't given enough exposure because the supposed three gaps was reduced to two. That sucks

Taped as live na nga nachorva pa
Dapitan Arcade, Dapitan Street, Q.C.



Drew hosted, and everyone can't wait to leave the location as soon as we tape our supposed live feed. The story here was the supposed summer sale of the export overruns sold in Dapitan. After taping three tedious segments using only one camera (which proved to be a challenge,) we hurriedly went back to base. Imagine the horror of having to find out ON AIR that drew did a second TAKE (GASP!) and they (the people in the studio, the assistant director, pointedly) actually forgot to note, that there was a take two.
Nakakahiya!
but It isn't my fault anymore. Oh well.
Shit happens

Maku Hari Restaurant- Leon Guinto St. Malate

This has been an exhausting pre-production. But I wouldn't complain because compared to the hell ate Carol have been, I'm thankful I have an event. But silently am sad because of what she's been through. I have a feeling that this restaurant cum melting pot of cultural exhibition is a homo's den. Hehe. The boys look like the ones you seen inside the gaybars. (not that I have anything against my sisters of course) Heee
