Chicken Grammy Speech

Warning: Feel na feel na feel na feel ko ang post na ito

People used to think that I am the kind of girl who can be very natural in front of the camera. Some friends would even ask me, “Bakit di ka mag-model?” “Bakit di mo i-try mag-audition sa PBB?” “Bakit di mo tanggapin ang offer sa ‘yo ni Mel Feliciano [na mag-artista]?” Hahahaha ‘friends’ nga! Di naman sa inaangat ko ang sarili ko pero sabi ng nanay ko kamukha ko daw siya kaya maganda din naman ako. Sabi naman sa Bible, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made”, which translates to “kilabot tayo sa ganda!” Hahahahaha joker arroyo lang po! Ako na! Ako na! Ako na ang feelingerang payat na maganda! Sakalin mo na ako!

The truth of the matter is… (hinga nang malalim)… MAHINHIN PO AKO.

Sa maniwala man kayo o sa hindi [Ang di maniwala may jerba sa in-betweens!], sa lahat nang aming magkakapatid sa pamilya *ubo*, ako ang pinaka-awkward sa harap ng camera. Pangitiin mo ako, pwede pa. Pero ipagawa mo sa ‘kin yung tipong may sitwasyon levels, naku! Maghanda-handa ka na nang maraming baterya at films ng camera! Sorry pero bubungisngis lang ako ng bubungisngis. Nuong dating estudyante pa ang kapatid kong film major, kami ng tatay ko ang ginagawa niya palaging cast o extra sa mga weekly short film projects.

This is a year 2006 short film directed by my sister. My office mates use this as a blackmail resource but I don’t care anymore. Haha!

Naku eh.. umiinit dugo ng kapatid ko sa ‘kin dahil sa puro cut! CUT! Bukod sa bungisngis at di ako maka-poker face, di ko rin maiwasang di tumingin sa camera! I’m a conscious bebe! Hahahaha! So, I guess, that answers some of their condescending hallucinatory questions. Malay natin mag-improve… Life is a process… Who knows? Hahaha…

Eto pa… Speaking of mahinhin a la Maria Clara… Remember the video we produced less than a year ago for a local fastfood chain’s online video contest? I just remembered I have not posted an update on it yet. Guess what, WE WON! (link to the proof) By WE, I meant it includes all of you, people, especially those who liked and commented on the Facebook video we posted!

I know it’s not the best. We only had one day to think and one day to implement, the audio isn’t audible enough, the place was getting darker as the sun sets, and I couldn’t help but smize! Shucks, what a bad emoticonera! Hahaha, no valid excuses. Honestly, mas lively pa nga ung gawa nang direktor ko eh.

But the point I am driving at is… I just want to acknowledge everyone na kahit maraming bitter na nanira at umaway sa aming mga nanalo {true story, hahaha showbiz!}, nagka-dayaan pa sa padding ng likes sa ibang kampo {imagine, may 1000 likes on the last hour of deadline sa iba!}, eh nabigyan pa rin po tayo ng pagkakataon to emerge in the end! At yun ay sa kadahilanang iniba nila bigla ang contest criteria. Sumwak tayo under the category of MOST NUMBER OF UNIQUE COMMENTERS. And so now, please consider this as my heartfelt official acknowledgment statement na parang nanalo lang sa Grammy’s:

Thank God for this confidence, this talent (ahem), and these family and friends. Thanks to Chowking for the pakulo, to Erwin for directing and keeping up with the Kardashian, and, of course, to the 159 likers, 47 commenters and countless “believers” na masarap talaga ang Chinese-Style Fried Chicken ng Chowking. We won a 16-Gig ipod nano! — Na binenta ko na po at a big discounted price sa pinsan kong mas nangangailangan. I decided not to keep it for reasons that I have disclosed in a separate blog post in here. Libre ko na lang po kayo ng chicharap ‘pag nagkita tayo. Just print this blog post as coupon to claim your share of price. Haha!

Just sharing God’s goodness. To Him be the glory!
