Did you ever feel stupid and sad at the same time? If you ask me, yes it's this day at this hour right at this very minute.
I think and breathe showbiz. I like showbiz but I (sometimes) don't like the dirty tactics behind someone's stardom. Why can't we just work fair and clean? Why do we have to step on other people just to get to our goals?! I have questions, I have the answers but I don't like to accept and understand.
I remember quitting something coz I really didn't like the idea of "how it works" and now I am back to something my brain doesn't understand and my principles can't swallow. Now I really feel stupid. I feel like a jerk fighting for someone else's dream but whose fate was predetermined. It's hard. It's fuckin stupid. I think I have to replace someone in that movie Moron 5 right now. Or should I audition for the Part 2?! Damn! Magna Cum Laude and here you are being stupid in its most literal and hurtful sense.
I'm the saddest coz my contestant was booted out of Artista Academy. He had low grades daw. That's like freakin bullshit! I believe in that kid and so are 90% of the staff. He should've stayed longer in the competition for three reasons, he is driven and he has the talent aside from the given that he's good looking. As they say, only one wins. In his case, he had it but it was taken away from him. That's the shittest part of it.
I know the business of showbiz, I know its fuckin dirty but I didn't know it could hurt this bad for someone you care about. Whose dreams were taken away from him. Someone who was worth the stardom, someone who was worth it all.
Teka puputulin ko na dito, I might say something I might regret in the future. Oh hell no I won't fuckin regret anything I've said. It's my page and it's freedom of speech. Hoho LOL!!
I guess I have to RE welcome myself in this world. Hahaha! Welcome Mike, it's been three years accept how the business works. Oh shoot wait, I grew up in a Catholic school, I believe in my God and I have a rosary wherever I go... Now you get it, I won't lose who I am for what you're asking me. Me over anything else! That you have to ACCEPT.

Behind the Camera
Is there a formula on being an artista? My answer would be Oh freakin' YES!! But I won't go into details. I'm sure majority knows the formula. Or don't they?
Last Monday, July 30 at 9PM on TV5 was the pilot of our show Artista Academy. It was a roller coaster of emotions. Excitement, fear and high hopes were felt by everyone. Well, piloting a show ain't new to me for I have been with a lot of shows in ABS-CBN. I like to believe all were number one except for HYY. Haha! But seriously it was a different experience for it is my first show with TV5. I was nervous. Very nervous.
The show aired and it was the best feeling. All our hard work have been seen nationwide. That may be the greatest reward you'll ever get when you're in this industry.
I remember my EP asking me why I decided to be part of the show. I said, I am excited for the show and I am excited to work in a different environment. It was "sugal" for me. Some people might say, nandyan ka na sa ABS bakit ka pa lumipat? That irritates me. Yes, you're with the best but are you happy? So here is Artista Academy, I grabbed the opportunity and so far so good.
This I can say is the best show I have done so far. My dedication is so great I want to win with my contestant. It's his competition but because I believe in him, it has become mine too. The best part maybe, is I am helping someone's dream come true. That for me is another reward for every hard work I give to this show. I can say the same with the other producers. I remember direk saying "respetuhin nyo ang kanilang mga pangarap" and that is instilled on my mind that when I get behind the camera I play my role as his producer and make sure I can be the best that I can be for that kid. Ugh! This is giving me emo shit again. Naf!!
So there, behind the camera you have creatives and production people. Creatives think of concepts and the Production... produces everything. Simple concept but so hard to implement. In our case, we produce materials needed for the show. It is a fun job but tiring. It is fulfilling. It is something not all people can do. Behind every scene in a television show is a production staff working for your entertainment. We believe we are warriors of happiness. We are responsible for your your emotions. We talk to you by means of television. We strengthen your hopes. We play with your imaginations. We push change. We become one with you. At the end of the day, after every closing billboard is a happy staff. Tears and sweat were shed but gold was given in return.
Behind the camera we say... Lights, Camera, Action!
