i'm friends with someone famous!!!

my good friend kuya arnold (jallores, sr.) was on the news last week.

yippee!

hehe. yeah, i work with celebrities everyday. and i have worked with them for the past 9 years. but nothing beats being good friends with someone who actually made it to national news! someone who is part of philippine history! woo hoo!

anyways, it was about this garci tapes... i couldn't really care less about the issue... i have been apolitical ever since i can remember. but since kuya arnold (who is as apolitical as i am) was one of the local sound engineers contracted by denr secretary mike defensor to analyze the so-called recordings, i kinda became involved. hehe.

well... much of my involvement really was just to tag along during their first meeting, make kuya arnold kulit through text during the press conference at sulo hotel (which was his first tv appearance) and then tag along again during his second tv appearance that same night at korina's show on anc.


Tee hee... that's Kuya Arnold getting made up before his live TV appearance on ANC

i didn't plan on staying since i needed to get my stuff from upstairs, but the discussion proved to be somewhat interesting and so i stayed put. and err... took pictures hehe







judging from the photos, you will notice that i never actually moved from my position. hehe. well, i kinda got scared of korina since a few minutes into the program, she was ired like hell at her staff and even threatened to walk out. *gulp*

anyways, the discussion turned into a heated argument when jonathan tiongco (the guy in between kuya arnold and mike defensor in the photo) and jose mari gonzales debated like crazy about the tapes and forensics and stuff my puny little brain couldn't really understand (and care about). mike defensor kept on nudging jonathan tiongco to stop but the stubborn bastard wouldn't... all this time, kuya arnold was just quiet and smiling like a little boy as if he found everything amusing.

afterwards, as i was joshing kuya arnold about making it to national news (and maybe even cnn and bbc! hehe), all he asked me was if he looked great on tv. haha! yeah... he was essentially now part of philippine history and all he could care about was how he looked. kewlness!
