Simple and True: 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.
