Luna Blanca

I met the cast of GMA 7's newest soap Luna Blanca last Sunday. 

Camille and Chynna requested to see any articles that would come up from that afternoon's press conference. The two were very nice and down-to-earth  so who am I to say no. 

We are only connected through Twitter and I can't figure out a way how I can lead them to this article since our digital newspaper application has no social media sharing capabilities yet. Hence, this post. 

Please click on the photo to read the article and find out more about Luna Blanca. 

Happy Reading! Ü

UPDATE
Minutes after publishing this post, I figured out how to upload a photo to twitter from a PC. Sorry, techno-moron here so I thought I can only tweet a photo from a mobile phone. So anyway, I later tweeted this:

Camille, Chynna, and Mona Louise (I didn't know she tweets or maybe this is a fan page account?) retweeted and favorited it. Then, the sweetest of all sent this:

Contrary to the kontrabida roles she play on TV, Chynna is really nice and sweet.

Again, Luna Blanca is airing on Monday. Hope you will have time to watch it. ;-)

Happy Thought:

I am blogging again! :D

Tsunami prank caused public scare in Cebu

When an earthquake with 6.9 magnitude hit Cebu around 11:49 a.m. today, I wasn't shaken. 

In fact, I managed to post "Earthquake!!!" in my Facebook and Twitter accounts while the rest of my colleagues are already under their tables.

The earthquake only rocked our building for less than a minute. Everyone was told to leave right after the floor stopped shaking. 

Upon reaching the safe ground, I immediately called my mom at home, where she and my one-year-old son were left alone. I wanted to check if she and Lance felt the earthquake, too. 

"O uy! (Oh yes!)" she confirmed, "Kusog kaayo ang uyog sa balay pero okay ra mi  (The earthquake shook the house hard but we're okay)." 

She added that Lance didn't even cry. To be honest, I was less worried knowing that my mom hurdled many earthquakes in her lifetime.The worst was in 1990 at 7.8 magnitude. For sure, she knows what to do.

Spongebob visits CDN

Spongebob!

We had our Christmas party at the office tonight.

Journalists, columnists, editors, and everyone who made this amazing newspaper running went to party even between deadlines.

Great food, good music, raffle prizes, and some superheroes gave our simple party at the newsroom a blast. I will be posting more photos soon.

I am not sure if Spongebob is a superhero but we're glad that he made it to our party.

He might become Lance's favorite soon so I took the chance to have a photo op with him. :D

Merry Christmas! Ü

Met Spongebob! LOL

Crossroads

The day after I threw myself a challenge to blog everyday, our publisher advised me to again beef up my writing portfolio of hardcore news.

Well, I was asking her if I can do a part-time copy editing job for the editorial team but was instead offered to do in-depth news features for the paper.

It made me think. It made me ponder.

Is this destiny calling me to go back to what I do best?

I am now trying to recall why I left the news team five years ago. What I can remember so far is that I had a great time.

For now, I only have one sure thing to beef up--- my blog! Ü

Journalists are only as good as their last story.
