I was on TV!

By 2 Comments

I was on TV for about 2 minutes last Friday! I was a bit relieved that my first foray into tv isn't one of these things that I always thought would land me on the telly: 1) Odette Khan needs a body double 2) I've done something horribly embarrassing that was caught on CCTV and Mike Enriquez would come right out and scream "HULI KA" (*ubo* *ubo* excuse me po!) 3) Na "Wow Mali" ako -- actually this is my greatest fear! 4) Na Bitag ako ni Ramon Tulfo --- ay wait, I take number 3 back, … [Continue reading]
