Oh Sam Oh!

When I saw the merch plug of ETC, I panicked! No, it wasn't because my Coke light merch plug had glitches but because they were looking for Sam Oh's screen partner. You see, I love Sam Oh a lot because she's witty, funny and skillful! But more than that, I've always dreamed of becoming a celebrity, one way or another. And this seemed like a very good opportunity to start becoming one.

Immediately, i asked Aya what she thinks about it and should I join. You see Aya's my accomplice when it comes to this kind of things. She always gives me a push and boost that i need! Very exciting, I said!

Then as if that validation is not enough, i went to ask DREW Arellano and Personality and Image-expert/stylist Olen Lim, too. Drew said I could pass for that role and that I just needed to lose pounds so I'd look better on TV. Uh, sheesh. That's the nicest thing I've heard. Miss O also said that I could come out on TV, I seemed articulate and genuinely interested. In my mind, shucks, I could pass off as another Drew, perhaps! Hehehe, dreaming is free, yes?

Well, hey, i think i am bit qualified. I used to host back in school, i write my own scripts (and copy too for our advertising materials) and come out in print ads for Coke and Globe, and some press releases too.

And so I waited for the Sam Oh plug again to come out so I can get the details where to send my folio. But when i caught it again, i got disappointed. The search had an age limit. 25. I turned 26 last wednesday.

Ohhhh, too bad. Sayang naman! Oh well. Maybe it's not meant for me... Or maybe I am meant for other things...

Last Saturday, Sam interviewed me for a vignette scheduled to come out on September. And she did say I was a natural for TV! Even the producers said so! And it wasn't because i was flexing my AE muscle. It was a spontaneous response. Ganda!

Watch out for this on ETC, Crime and Suspense and 2nd Avenue. It's the closest thing to Sam Oh, my favorite. And the closest thing to becoming Almost Famous!

PS: I've come out on similar interviews pala on MTV and ABS, so I am not a greenhorn. Hehehe.
