...
I know, I left with such short notice. I did not even leave a reason why I went to Manila. I was called in by a certain mag, which I will not disclose yet, for a shoot focusing on nails. It was actually my first real project. And boy was I excited.
Monday
I was supposed to go to Elan first coz Ms. Chinggay said I needed tp update my VTR file but because of the TRAFFIC, I ended up going to California Nails and Day Spa already for my nail appointment.
There was a transport strike and all, and I believe it just had to be the unluckiest day of my life! There was no cab at all that passed by Teacher's Village. Daddy Emo took Ate Keng, Ate Jack, and me to the MRT station. And guess what? Everyone was staring at me there. I don't mean this in an airhead kind of way. Who wouldn't head-to-foot someone clad in a tube top and low rise jeans in makeup riding an MRT infamously known for voyeurs and sex-crazed maniacs? LOL. We didn't get to ride anyway coz there were so many people. We went down again to get a cab. Just as we were about to go to Elan, Ms. Chinggay called up and told me to head straight to Market! Market! for the nail appointment. And guess what? When we arrived, Market! Market! was still closed. We had to wait for 30 more minutes before we went inside and before I waited another 30 for Ms. Erica of the magazine and Arianna, my co-model who has already graced the cover of Candy (and I can't remember what issue).
That doesn't end there. It took 5 hours to do our nails and the nail art altogether and during those five hours I wasn't able to eat lunch, considering I had a light breakfast! I only ate at 6pm when we finally got home. Ate Katch, Ate Keng, Ate Jack, and I conquered Ababu. Ox brain rawks, man! :)
Tuesday
Shoot Day. We shot at Eastwood. The pics showcased the nail art. Some of the shots had our faces included and some did not. I hope they do choose at least one pic where we could see our faces. LOL. Our photographer was Jay Yao and I swear, he was uber friendly! As in! It was really nice working with him.
After the shoot, I watched Samara: The Ring 2 with Ate Jack and Kuya Andrew. Even if I spent half the movie closing my eyes, I still couldn't sleep last night. LOL.
So that's just about it. The part I'm in will come out sometime in June. I'm so psyched about seeing myself in a magazine since it's my first time so bear with me!
