My Green Room

I owe this to the fans and I will never forget you so I want to accept this award on behalf of all of you.

Yipee! I finally was granted the privilege to post and flaunt this cute badge! Am so happy and I dunno how to thank everyone who voted for my blog to be the Filipino Blog of the Week. Maybe hugs and kisses will do? *shy*

Anyway, here it is.

Awww. Am so honored. It's like I won an Oscar. hehehe *big smile* Am the Filipino Blog of the Week for week 70. And am still hoping to get another badge.

Am wondering, though, if I was the 2nd placer for week 69. Wasn't able to check. And too bad I can't understand percentage (%). So, I completely have no idea. But, as far as I can remember, supporters were with me the entire voting duration for that week. Hmmm. Now, there's no way to know anymore. Or is there?

Would love to post that 2nd placer badge as well. Hehehe.

Anyway, am already a hall of famer so, better not be greedy anymore. See the badge on the right side bar? *grins*

Actually, am so speechless that's why I was already able to say a lot without even acknowledging the person behind this brilliant idea of featuring and celebrating Filipino bloggers that share interesting ideas and experiences to the world. (Were my ideas even interesting? Shhhh...they might take the award back. )

Well, he calls himself Talksmart. He's just so fascinated with my wittiness that he nominated my blog. Of course, this is stretching of the truth. hihihi I think he just stumbled upon My Green Room when it was still on a Scribe and read through. *whispers* It caused him several yawns, actually.

He finally decided to nominate it cause he understands the importance of sleep. Which is what my blog induces. See? Not only that he's composed (his blog's name is The Composed Gentleman), he's also appreciative. And not to mention, intelligent. (Hope he gets to read this so he'd consider nominating my blog again.) *winks*

Here's a lil something about Talksmart:

A professor. An Engineer. A Geospatial Analyst. A Remote Sensing Scientist involved in a NASA project. Book lover. Part-time writer. A proud Filipino in South Dakota, USA.

His blog, "The Composed Gentleman", is an academic blog so it's nothing like My Green Room. The blog talks so much sense and to add to that, it serves a very good purpose. So more than any other blog, it deserves a space in every blog on the Net. Applause to you Talksmart!

...and congratulations to me.

Note: Am so speechless.

Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.

Please don't leave me. I will be very lonely. *frowns*

You see, had been busy as a bee the past weeks. My schedule was so hectic that I couldn't even get forty winks. And it's the same reason why I wasn't able to post for a week. I just hope you won't leave.

Loyal readers, please stick with me. And yeah, I have to thank those who keep on visiting my blog even if it's taking me long to write a new entry. Hugs and kisses tya'all.

You know how it is to have no time for yourself? It's draining...backbreaking. I feel like I am deprived of everything. Hahaha... Drama! Just because I don't get to have a letup...hehehe

Anyway, yeah, am so so so occupied. Like I work 24/7. There are breaks in between of course. Am no slave, come on!

It's so hard to earn money these days. You'd have to take at least 3 jobs to be able to support yourself and save some for the rainy days. I should know.

What do I do and am this busy? Well, I work as a print and ramp model, performing artist, movie actress and a zoo keeper on the side.

You think that being a celeb is fab?! NO! You are so wrong. Call time's at 5 am. Yes! You read it right -- 5 am -- to think that am not a morning person. And then when I reach the set, I'd have to wait for my turn to shoot. I'd usually get lazy eyes waiting in one corner.

...Taping ends at 2 am the following day. *yawns*

...after the tape you think it's my chance to finally take my well deserved holiday? No. Because I still have to head to my next engagement. No matter how sore my feet already are, I still have to endure another day's activity -- ramp modeling.

Since, there was no time for me to rehearse with the rest of the models the previous day, I'd have to be at the venue earlier than the rest to learn the blocking and get myself familiarized with the runway. Or else... *pooshoog*

And because am such a sleepy head, (you already know the reason why. But of course I can't just tell everyone to..."excuse me for being a slugabed...I just came from a taping") so inattentive with even the simplest instructions, the runway coach hurls all kinds of curses at me. Know what? I can't get to mind anymore since am already somnabulating. What do they know? hahaha

Walking in a runway feels like walking on fluffy clouds when you're drowsy. Just don't ask me how I look like.

...and so the fashion show's over. But, my day is not. Need to run to my next commitment -- pictorial for a print ad. That's another 3-5 hours work.

After that, will head home to freshen up and rest for an hour. You can call me lucky if I can even stay for 30 minutes to watch my favorite program, "Myth Busters". Sometimes, I don't take a bath anymore. Often, I just sprinkle myself with strong perfume. Thanks Victoria, but it's not anymore a secret. *wink*

Then I'd have to skedaddle to another taping. *whew* FYI, I was doing three movies concurrently.

It's also a dream-come-true-turned-into-a-nightmare that I got a stint with Bamboo. A nightmare as I was not able to enjoy my time with him anyway. Was too drowsy to even realize he's beside me and singing with me. How could I have forgotten it's his show? Geesh.

Finally, I have to see Ellie. The Elephant in the movie, "Evan Almighty". I am its keeper. I do it part time. It's another tough job. But, we're friends now.

I have to thank everyone who watched, "A Love Story". It's now a box-office hit. Please continue to watch it until you memorize the entire script and even the blocking.

Take a look at my photos. Proof of my hard work.
