Rapport: Pick A Letter

A. Paulo and I

B. Aljur and I

C. Marky and I

D. Mart and I

October 13, 2007. Another taping day for Boys Next Door.

Syempre, mawawala ba naman kami ni Al? We got in at around 3 PM. Although naaasar sa akin si pirena, kasi I was late and may moment sya with a Mover when I came in sa meeting point namin. hehehehe.


Side story 1: Galing akong Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija that day. I drove roughly around three hours to get back sa Manila, took a quick shower then drove back to Quezon City for the taping. Ganyan ko kamahal si Pau!


Anyway, balik tayo sa taping. It was good that we made it at that time kasi last shoot na ni Pau for the day and if we came in a lot later e wala na si Pau! I swear, magwawala ako on the spot. Amok.

Still, Pau was so nice to take time and have a quick chat with us. Syempre, mawawala ba ang photo moment namin? hehehehe.


Side Story 2: You want a scoop? If you're still wondering kung wala pang manager si Pau. Wait na lang kayo. Hold you're breath dahil malapit na. I just hope it all pushes through. Clue? A basta! Wait na lang kayo.


Pau was off to his Makati address after the taping tapos tutuloy sya sa Wall Climbing nya sa Tiendesitas (sana tama spelling). Di kasi sya satisfied hangga't hindi masakit katawan nya e. And in fairness, nang malaman ni Pau na galing pa akong Cabanatuan, napa-yikes sya and he said thanks. Bait talaga ni Paupau!


Side Story 3: Karl came it at around 4 or 4:30 while Al and I were buying food, kasi hiningi ni Mot yung Piattos ko e. hehehehe. Pero okay lang yun no! Nahihiya nga si Mot e (Al, Mot na rin tawag ko kay Mart ha!). And the entry title was a product of his dialogue to me that day. We were browsing sa mga pics ko that day and ang sinasabi nya, wala kaming rapport sa pics, sa isa lang meron. Sa tingin nyo sino yun? hehehehe. Judge for yourself.


The day ended for us at around 8PM. Sobrang pagod ako and I kept complaining that my leg hurts. Mas matagal pa kasi akong naglalalakbay kesa nagstay sa bahay. So, we went home. Pero I went home happy. Coz kahit papaaano, I feel na may konting bonding na kami ni Pau. Proof? Syempre sa amin sya ni Al nagpaalam ng maayos. And pinagbuksan nya kami ng window pauwi, while he just waved to the other BND fans with the car windows close (may service ang ibang starstruck talents). Small thing. But for me, that made us feel, well, special.


ETO, NOW, JUDGING FROM THE PICTURES ABOVE, SA TINGIN NYO, KANINO AKO MAY RAPPORT?


'til Next week. Go, Paunatics!

Same Same

Being a fan, lagi kang maghahanap ng things that you have in common with your idol. In what things ba kami same ni Pau?

1. Pareho kami ng phone. Hehehehe. (P990i, but different networks)
2. He's into wall climbing, I'm a beginner.
3. We have a similar vice.
4. Pareho kaming good listeners (ano kamo?)
5. We both have a good set of friends.
6. We both have a good head on our shoulders.
7. Pareho kaming mabait (HA?!)

In what ways naman kami different. Patay tayo dyan, ang dami...

Other Scenes at Boys Next Door

Of course, other than Paulo, there were also a lot of things happening at the taping.

Marky and Rich are, unfortunately, both suffering from sore eyes. Mart and Jennica are, syempre, inseparable. We had a chance to chat wit Mart's dad, whom I promised that I will also support Mart. And Stef's mom, who was practicing her eloquence with us. She's a fun bundle though. And Glaiza's parents who are very nice.

Plus. May mga scoops pa kaming nakuha. Do you know that Marian has 9 commercials lined up? At malulula kayo sa lowest TF nya. WHEW! We already had an inside scoop on who will be eliminated later sa Ride To Fame? Secret syempre. That Paulo will be part of the whole season 2 ng BND at may ilang mga (nakakinis) plots na pinagaaralan for the show. That Paulo has a new tvc coming?

Watch out for more news about Paulo and Boys Next Door soon!

Bloopers

Hahahaha. It was fun staying at the BND taping pero mawawala ba mga bloopers namin?

1. Pinaalis ako sa set kasi lakas boses ko. hehehehe.
2. I was almost lost looking for a convenient store. Salamat sa mga tricycle drivers.
3. Laging naiiiwan ni Tivz unlocked yung passenger side ng car.
4. Naiwan ko yung car keys ko sa Coffee Beanery
5. Nawala ko stylus ko momentarily.
6. Mali yung binigay ng barista kay Tivz na mga Coffee.
7. May alcohol content yung Coffee ni Pau. Bawal pa sa kanya ang any amount of alcohol because of his medication.
8. Ang daming ants sa uupuan namin ni Tivz.
9. Three times ako nag-move ng parking dahil ang daming bawal sa place of taping ng BND.
10. Bonus. kakalaro ni Pau sa hawak nyang lip gloss, twice itong gumulong sa ilalim ng kotse.

Paulo Next Door

Close Encounters Part II.
Again, nagkita kami ulit ni Pau. This time, longer time and we had more chances to talk than before.

Pre-meeting. Nagkita kami ni Tivz (because he knows where the taping would be and I am a total dufus when it comes to navigation) sa Chowking sa Quezon Ave. and it wasn't long that we are already on our way to the Boys Next Door taping (magkaiba ang shooting sa taping, okay ngayon ko lang naintindihan, whew!). Taping was at BF Homes in Quezon City and I am verrrry excited to see Pau again.

Meeting Pau again. Sa site, first that we met were Mart and Jennica (di mapaghiwalay e), nadaanan namin si Aljur before we saw Pau rehearsing his lines with Jesi. I'm so happy na natatandaan pa ako ni Pau, sabi nya kasi, hirap syang makatanda ng mga names. Para safe, it's either "kuya" or "ate", nakakatuwa na kahit second time pa lang namin magkita, first name basis na. Yun yon e!

Pero since taping yun, busy lahat ng artist kaya kami ni Al muna nagkwekwentuhan. It wasn't long when hinatak nila Mot si Al and I was left alone kasi may kausap ako sa phone. Nagstart na ang taping at pinaalis ako sa set (ingay ko kasi, may pinapagalitan ako sa phone e, heheheh) so I had to walk back to my ride. Kakakalikot ko sa kotse, nakita ko si Pau, they were watching sa car nila Mot ng Startalk, but since naka-park ako sa opposite side, di nya ako agad nakita. And because I was so caught up with Pau (I swear mas gwapo sya ngayon) di ko na nagawang lumapit. Good think, nakita nya akong tulala so he crossed the street para magkakwentuhan kami. Tip sa mga Paunatix: Paulo is a very nice and accommodating man, if you ever have a chance na madalaw sya, do so. Di kayo magsisisi.

Pau and I. SI Tivz ang photographer dyan. That's my ride behind.

I had so much fun talking to Pau, kung saan saan na nga napunta kwentuhan namin, hanggang sa prescription ng gamot na! He's so smart and he takes time to get to know his fans more. Then pinatawag na sya sa set.

Wardrobe change for Pau

Pau with fans. Nahihiya nga sila e. Kaya kami na ni Tivz ang sumenyas kay Pau

One more thing that's nice about Pau. He will take time to be with his fans. Since nagmamaganda kami ni Tivz, di kami nanonood ng taping. Sa mga tents kami tumatambay and in between takes, Pau made sure na magkakasama kami. That's how thoughtful Paulo is. Kaya di ko siya iiwan whatever happens.

Pau and I had a lot of talks, a lot of moments na magkasama. Marami kaming napagkwentuhan. And some I would like to remain na sa amin na lang muna. I think I want to cherish those moments muna.

Share ko sometime na lang.

A tired Pau. Late na kasi natapos mga shots nya. But still accommodating.

Syempre, we left the set with a huge smile on our faces. And since nagpaalam si Pau na magpapahinga sya we do so obliged. Kawawa naman kasi sila, they seem very tired na talaga. But still Pau sms-ed me pa naman. He said take care. And that was more than enough for me.

PS.

Thanks Tivz. Yes, those kids are very nice. Mabait si Mot. Magalang si Jennica. And Paulo is heaven.

CHANGE!

My best writing would always be in English. But I had come to realize, that this blog is uninteresting and too highfalutin if I would continue with this style.

Tivz has told me bluntly:
“Kung gusto mong may magbasa ng blog mo, mag-Tagalog ka”

Point taken.
