sarap ka-movie, sarap ka-greenwich!

hey all! well i've a few things to recount tonight about ian's new GW ad and the rest of the day.

well it started with a text ian sent me about 930 am today. it said: "Hey yall. Want to get a chance to appear in the next greenwich commercial? Wer shooting at greenwich valero st. Makati. D store is open and dyr taking ala behind d scenes shots of real people in d store be realistically fun enough and you might just be picked. Bring your friends!:-)"

so i went online and started asking people if they wanted to come. i had dana and ned text everyone (tnx again, guys). i also posted over cbr.com and ym. soon enough texts came poouring in. so i arranged for everyone to meet at paseo de roxas around 3pm (shoot was from 10 am til 6pm).

well prompt as ever, only cha and i were there on time. actually, the two of us went directly to the shoot coz we were familiar with the area as we both worked there plus it was only 230pm. when we arrived there we immediately saw june (PA), mike(STAGES), and mang dodong(DRIVER). from them we gathered that ian was fast asleep in his car. he had little sleep the night before because of his concert with ogie and shin. straight from the airport, they went to the shoot. no opportunity to rest other than his car.

anyway, mike, cha and i went inside the store and just chatted. shan arrived. more chat. then ian was asked to resume shoot. so he went inside to deliver pizza to one table. he sat with them and talked with them. pizza arrived (this time for our table... free of course). then ian sat with us. chatted while the cam was rolling. then he went outside and brought some pizza to the peeps taking a break from office (unfortunately the pizza he brought was ours!!!!). then he came back to our table, sat down, chatted (how many times has this word been used? just goes to show we were really doing nothing). then he was called again to shoot final scene... then pic taking w/ greenwich staff and customers. then changed his shirt, back to our table again (we were the only familiar faces amongst the sea of strangers... well not sea really, more like a lake... or a river... or should it be a brook... nah i'm exaggerating... it's more like a puddle... a puddle of strangers).

i then gave him a printed copy of the comments posted on this blogsite (see "Christian the Actor" post) and an illustrated version of one of my fave books--Sun Tzu's Art of War. guess what we did next... yeah, we chatted. at least we (CFs) did, ian read the comments. you could see his concentration as he read all 18 comments. then someone approached him and showed him a prototype of the lifesize christians that will be found in gwich stores soon. he then read some parts of the book and used the sample pic as bookmark. then chat again (will we ever get past this activity?). after a while, he asked what was being shown in cinemas.

aina:"machinist"
ian:"what's that?"
me:"christian bale" (like that answers the question)
ian:"no... not in the mood for that"
me: "sa GB3..."
ian:"wag dun, mahal masyado"
us:"nagkuripot na naman po" (joke! duh, you don't actually believe we said this to his face, right?)
me:"glorietta 4... the island"
ian:"yun! what time's that?"
me:"510"
ian:"need to go to carlo's mom's bday by 8. abot kaya?"
me:"sa _________, oo naman. 750 next screening eh. so mga 720 tapos na yun"
ian:"sige. nood tayo. ano game kayo?"
us:"yeah, sure."
ian:"sige. una na ako sa inyo. i need to find light for the laptop pa eh"
us:"ok"
ian:"alright see you guys there. mga 5."

so he left. we all went home.

hah!

we went to glorietta. we arrived before ian did. when he arrived he asked me to buy some food (i wont tell you why he had to ask me). when i returned, tickets were bought so we went in. we got some seats next to a necking couple. sat down and watched the movie. the neckers moved, so we occupied their seats (we were originally split in two rows).

some comments here and there. lots of eating for ian. some gruesome parts (not so gruesome for me but yucky enough for ian to stop eating and sarcastically comment "sarap kumain"). lots of intense action parts. some shallow philosophical parts. some can-you-be-less-obvious-of-the-moral-of-the-story parts. one absolutely unnecessary bed scene.

then, the movie's over. assesment and comments. bathroom. go to swatch. talk about kampanera while we circled the activity center looking for swatch. arrive at swatch. look at watches. inquire about the 69k, 100+ diamond pieces watch for women. chat with swatch big boss. consider buying the diamond studded watch. realize price. pic taking with everyone who comes to the store to admire ian and not the watches. chat and more chat with us. browse magazine featuring androgenous photos of champ. wait for car. leave bag w/ ipod, cell, cell, and wallet at store. get forgotten bag from jerome. say bye everyone and thanks. then group split up for shopping then home/gimmick/attend bday.

ay... finished at last...

yeah right! pwede bang walang add'l info?

• the island, as ian and i observed, is a lot like the matrix from concept to action scenes
• ian kept commenting on how much ads were integrated into the movie
• ian agrees w/ the comments, lorenzo's too bland a character
• ian will have a crying scene (he's proud of it)
• lorenzo will pine for imang because imang will... oops... too much of a spoiler if i reveal... hehe
• ian will visit his indo fans for 10 days... two weeks from now

well... that's it i guess... sorry if i hurried into the last part of the blog... hehe

hope you enjoyed!

Ian at Bacolod

Will post blog of this soon care of Dayds and the rest of CF Bacolod!

Here it is! Thanks much, dayds!

3 of a Kind Blog
Bacolod City
July 29, 2005

When I learned about the concert I contacted the CF Bacolod to plan for the coming of Ian. Nagpagawa kami ng t-shirt and we were constantly communicating in preparation for the concert (first cf bacolod concert gimik to). Si Lits, Daxx and Alerose ang una kong nakausap and then Kenneth, who said he’ll be coming to Bacolod to watch the concert (by the way he’s from Dumaguete, Negros Oriental pa). My sister decided to come home from Iloilo to also watch the concert. So 6-kaming CF ang manonood (supposed to be 9 dapat kaya lang Cris is already in Dubai, Chin is in Cavite and Reng is in Bulacan) plus my officemate and her cousin.

Everybody was so excited in the prospect of meeting Ian as for some of us will be first timers (ako feeling ko first time ko pa rin). I was constantly communicating with Jude and Kuya Migs to help us with meeting Ian.

The day before the concert we had a final meeting (Alerose, Daxx and me lng) what time to meet, where, gifts for Ian and if we could meet him-worried na kasi kami because Kuya June was not replying to my txt hehehe. Nabuhayan kami ng loob when Jude forwarded to me Ian’s message that he will meet us and that we just have to coordinate with Kuya June.

I slept late that night for I had to prepare the things I need to bring (cds, pictures, posters, shirts, rambutan, camera, pentel pens, necessities for my sleepover etc.) di naman ako masyadong excited ano?

July 29
On my way to the office Alerose informed me of Ogie, Shin and Ian’s schedule and that they already arrived (Shin’s mom texted her). I txt Kuya June then to ask if can we meet Ian. Kuya’s reply came around 12 and it said that Ian could only meet us 3pm sharp at the Grand Regal Hotel because of their hectic schedule; it was his only available time. I felt my excitement for the concert drained out from me, I could not go and meet Ian at that time because we were having our cluster assessment and it was my turn to report that afternoon. I informed the others of the appointment and told them to go and grab the opportunity to meet Ian even without me. Honestly I really felt sad (who would not? I was looking forward to that meeting with Ian).

Lits came to the office to get the shirts, I asked her to bring my “Nasan Ka Man” cd and have it signed by Ian, I also gave her the pins (na nabura na ung pirma) and then the rambutan. I told her to say hi to Ian for me na lang. I called Kuya June to tell him that some CF were going to the hotel and he told me na ipatxt na lang daw sya pag nasa baba na sila. Lits, Daxx and Kenneth were the ones who made it to the hotel.

While reporting I was so conscious of the time and the beep of my cel (kahit nakadiscreet yun hehehe). I felt better when Lits and Daxx txt me that they met Ian and obvious na obvious sa txt na nasa cloud 9 sila.

A flicker of hope came to me when my sister came and informed me of Alerose txt. She had set an appointment with Tita Russell to meet Shin at the hotel at 6 pm (both are CF and also members of rag.com). I informed kuya June and asked if I could meet Ian. He said di nya sure kasi baka daw mag nap si Ian pagdating sa hotel after rehearsals and then I told him ok lang kung ano man sa kanya ko na lang ipapaabot yung bibigay namin kay Ian.

Ate Mavel (my officemate-yung kumalabit dati kay Ian para mapansin ako nung notc), Dorris, Alerose and I went to the Grand Regal Hotel. At ayaw kami papasukin ng guard, Alerose was the one doing the explaining. I guess it was because Ian, Shin, Tita Russell and Kuya June were already in the hotel and eating diner (kita kasi sa labas) and halatang sila ang sadya namin (andami naming bitbit eh). I called Kuya June (kinain ko na ang hiya ko) and told him na ayaw kami papasukin and may ibibigay lang kami kay Ian kung pwede. Ayun lumabas ang kuya hehehe and I introduced myself and my companions. Kuya talked to the guard and led us to the waiting are of the hotel and he resumed his dinner. Kung di ako tumawag kay Kuya June, Alerose could have called Tita Russell para makapasok kami.

While waiting aba gusto talaga ata kaming palabasin, another staff approached us and asked if we were relatives daw and then I told him, kilala namin road manager ni Christian and we were waiting for him (hehehe kakahiya at si kuya June pa ang ginawang rason) ayun di na sya humirit pa. The hotel staff we’re staring at us (like we were weird or something) actually nanliliit na ako sa upuan ko pero according to Kuya Migs ala mangyayari sakin kung mahihiya ako. And I wasn’t even looking at Ian or anybody there, di ko na rin masyado nakusap mga kasama ko.

Buti na lang di pa sila tapos kumain I had a chance to collect my guts before I face lolo hehehe and when my sister excitedly said “Te anjan na sila”, gosh ito na…..

Ian, Shin and Kuya June were walking towards us (grabe sila pa lumapit samin, tinginan ngayon yung mga hotel staff). Kuya June told us na bilisan lang namin kasi magbibihis pa sila.

Alerose and my sister is also a big fan of Shin and they went to her first (alerose and shin knows each). I waved hi at Ian and mejo malayo ako ang sabi ng lolo “Bat jan ka nagha-hi?” That was my cue lapit ako sa lolo (ala na ang hiya at di na tameme hahaha) I shook his hands (anlambot hehehe) and I asked him if he still remembers me and kung alam nya pangalan ko (aba inaakbayan na ko nun ng lolo, uy kinikilig ako). At lalo akong natuwa when he answered “Dayds”.

Ian: San kayo nakaupo?
Me: sa 350 lang kami, sa gilid sa left siguro
Ian: Left ko left nyo (with matching actions pa yun)
Me: ahhh (di ko sure eh ala ata ako naisagot) basta makikita mo kami
Ian: Malalapitan ko ba kayo?
Me: Di ko alam siguro. Basta don’t worry makikita mo kami, may posters kaming dala.

Then I handed him the shirts to be signed. He asked me “Sino nagpagawa ng shirts?” sagot naman ako “kami”. I asked him san sya sa shirt magsign, tinuro ko yung sa may print sabi nya sa baba na lang. I had him signed 4 tshirts and some pictures. While signing he asked me “2nd time ko pa lang sa Bacolod no?” and yes it was his 2nd time.

Alerose had a charcoal drawing of Shin and had it signed and the first thing that Shin noticed about the drawing was the butterfly necklace. She called Ian to see the necklace in the drawing. They were all awed Ian, Shin and Kuya June. Ganda kasi ng drawing. Sabi ko nga si Ian na lang walang ganun (alerose gave sarah, mark and rachelle her drawings of them).

Picture picture dun hehehe (di pwedeng wala) with Ian, with Shin, di na namin naisama si kuya June, sayang.

I handed Ian a list of names, sabi ko eto ang mga nagpasabi ng HI. Binasa nya out loud and he was smiling while reading (natuwa ang lolo). I told Ian that my baby brother is a big fan of his and then I introduced my sister Dorris,

Ian: Hi sister ni Dayds. Dorris, yung kasama ni Nemo?
Me and my Sis: Hindi si Dory yun, nanay namin nun
Ian: Ano pangalan ng kapatid nyo? Nemo?
Me and my Sis: hahaha Hindi, Moses.

komedyante rin ano?

I asked Ian then if we could still meet him after the concert and he said no (and he had an apologetic _expression), and I told him ok lang yun (pagod na rin kasi sya). It was then Kuya June reminded us na kelangan na nila umalis. I thanked Ian (nakipagkamay uli-di na ko nagkiss hahaha di na kinaya ng powers ko) and Kuya Jhun and Shin (she’s very nice). Si Kuya June ang nagbitbit ng mga bigay kay Ian and Shin and sa kanya.

We bid them goodbye and lots of “salamat” for meeting us and to Kuya June and he apologized pa pala kasi di daw sya nakakareply agad kahit kay Jude.

And by the way those people who were watching us earlier like we were intruders also joined in taking pictures of Ian and pa-autograph. Naging photographer pa ko ng isang hotel guest nun hehehe

We saw Tita Russell after Ian and Shin left and we greeted her and thanked her for the opportunity (I was really thankful if she hadn’t agreed to our meeting with Shin I wouldn’t have met Ian hehehe). We kissed her after we thanked her and bid her goodbye.

When we left the hotel the guards were all smiling at us, natuwa na sila sa amin hehehe and nagtatatalon ako sa labas kulang na lang tumili ako. It was so great and napunta uli ako sa cloud 9 (pero ibang level na).

We went to La Salle coliseum as Lits and Daxx were already there and reserved a seat for us and we met Kenneth along the way. Di na magkamayaw ang kwentuhan about our experience in meeting the stars we were all so overwhelmed. Kung magkwentuhan akala mo matagal nang magkakilala pero to think yun lang ung time na nagkasama kami lahat.

Only Lits and I wore the shirt (thanks to Jude-it was his design) and while waiting we were showing each other what pictures and stuff we had.

The concert started around 9 (pero 7 pa lang andun na kami) but sad to say di napuno ang coliseum, anluwag, but nevertheless the audience was very energetic kaya masaya pa rin ang concert.

Binabandera na namin ang posters and tili to the max ng “we love you ian and Ian andito kami” nung magsimula na ang show. Mapa Ian, Shin and Ogie ang performer ang CF ay di nahuhuli sa sigawan. Tinginan nga samin ang mga tao sa ingay namin, kami naman eh wa-care na kasi nageenjoy na kami. According to Daxx pa, maya maya daw babarilin na daw kami ng mga tao hehehe.

Later on we taped the posters on the railings (4 ang dala ko) that we could move freely and jumped whenever we like.

Here is the list of the songs they sang
So its you- Ian and Shin
Let the love begin- Ian and Ogie
So its you-Ian, Shin, Ogie
I’m every woman-Shin
Medley (shin)
Through the rain
They
Love takes time
I still believe
Don’t cry out loud
Medley (Ian)
The way you look at me
Hands to heaven
Color everywhere

After he sang CE nagkwento kwento pa si Ian and then he said “Asan ang mga CF dito (WE WERE SCREAMING) and then Ian said ‘ayun’ pointing at us”.

Grabe ang saya namin at hinanap kami ni Ian hehehe. After that he said, me gimik daw eh, he got the roses (na hinihingi namin earlier dun sa isang staff at di kami binigyan) and bumaba ang lolo sa stage and I think he was going to give out the roses while singing “kailan pa ma’y ikaw”, nagtatalon kami shouting “Ian” kaya lang iba talaga appeal ng lolo natin dinumog kaya dun lang sya naglakad lakad sa harap ng stage di na kami inabot. We assumed that maybe kung di sya dinumog baka nalapitan nya ang CF (kasi di ba earlier he asked kung malalapitan nya kami) sayang talaga. Bongga lalo ang CF kung lumapit pa sa amin ang lolo. Kung lumapit samin ang lolo kikiss talaga kami hahaha

Daxx had a recorder with her para kahit pano makaduet nya ang lolo at mairecord nya, sa lakas ng tili namin at ng mga tao puro tili yung maririnig lalo na sa simula hehehe

Then it was Ogie’s turn (dito buong buo ang mga kanta)
Bongga ka Day
Bakit ngayon ka lang
Hello
Kailangan Kita
Kailangan ko’y ikaw
Huwag ka lang mawawala
Hanggang ngayon with Shin
Never too far- Shin
You and me- Ian and shin
Sumayaw sumunod-Ian, Ogie and Shin

At sumayaw ang lolo cute cute nya ha. He even asked the audience to dance.

It was a great show yun nga lang bitin kasi ang konti lang ng kinanta nila. Ian has so many fans here (proven when he started to sing and di na marinig ang kanta sa dami ng sumisigaw).

Funny thing pala a lot of people were asking for my posters, akala nila pinapamigay kasi nga nakasabit sa railings. Meron nga isang babae kinukuha nya na yung isang poster buti na lang nakita namin at sinabihan namin di pinapamigay yun at humirit pa sya na madami naman daw, sabi ko naman personal collection ko yun kaya di pwedeng ipamigay.

We went backstage hoping to catch a glimpse of Ian again (sa labas lng naman kami). We saw Kuya June and para kaming cheering squad nung bumati hehehe and ang bati sa amin ni kuya two thumbs up. Daxx had a card for Ian and ambait ni kuya June (kahit na busy na sila dun) he took time to insert Daxx’ card inside Ian’s bag.

The CF was able to take Ian’s pic inside the van with Kuya June taking the pics and because Tita Russell opened her window for us (bait talaga) naiabot ang cam kay kuya June.

We were the last ones to leave the backstage, picture pa kasi kami and that time kasama na namin si Ate Erna (aunt ni Shin-magkakilala na kasi sila ni Kenneth and Alerose)) and she went with us when we had dinner. Cool kasama ang saya namin at nakipagsabayan pa sya ng kulitan sa amin.

We all became friends after that concert and we are looking forward for more cf gimiks together.

It was a great experience and one of my wishes came true. Ang galing no? God is really so good to me. My wish always comes true. Dati I wished to meet Ian, and then see him perform again, meet the CF and then my latest wish was for Ian to remember me and he did YEHEY YEHEY. Its very heartwarming and I really appreciate it.

Tinupad ko na rin pangako ko kay Ian that when he comes back here (after NOTC) kahit pano organized na ang CF Bacolod kahit konti pa ang hehehe

Having a fellow CF here in Bacolod and watch the concert with them was fun (at least di na ko nagiisa ngayon) and we all clicked together. Another thing I noticed about the CF (here and there) mahilig tayo sa KULITAN kaya magkakasundo tayo.

Thanks a lot for the help Jude, Kuya Migs and Ate Lorns and Ate Ivy (for tolerating my pangungulit hehehe) and everybody, love you guys.

Kuya June maraming salamat sa opportunity and most especially to Ian for the time.

Till next time guys and I’ll say this again IBA TALAGA PAG CF, THE BEST!!!!

asap 05 at sfo

well, ian's coming back tomorrow, but before he gets here let's review his performance in ASAP.

he danced. and based on a lot of comments people seemed to like it. and i tend to agree (just a little bit though). while he's still no gary v., ian has certainly improved. just goes to show that he really does try his best to achieve what he lacks. so to those who find him lacking as an actor... beware! hehehe. (see "Christian the Actor" blog for more details or comments)

i really liked his "tatlong bente singko" song. it made me reminisce my childhood when the payphones were red in color and required three pieces of 25cents to call. the phone was so bulky then! hehehe. ian gave a very nice rendition of this song, very enthusiastic.

"Magkakapatid" is of course a great song and i must say that ian was able to give a good rendition to this song as well. The melodious aspect of the song was definitely given a greater emphasis as he sang it while the other champs belted their own tunes. Ian was able to captture the simplicity and the meaning of this song.

I'm sure everyone in SFO enjoyed ASAP as much as we all did here.

Christian the Actor

recently, i've read some articles criticizing ian's acting on Kampanera. While these people have every right to express what they think, i think it's unfair for Christian not to be given chance to improve before judging him.

Because of this, i've decided to open this topic here where you may share your thoughts... nothing rude though please... criticisms are allowed but let's not be vulgar...

i'll print it for ian to read. that's one great thing about him, he knows how to listen and appreciate all comments for his improvement. He works really hard to give what the people want.

i'll wait for those comments... =)

OT: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Rowling has just created the most emotional HP novel with "The Half Blood Prince." I'm still in denial of the fact that D is dead! How'll Harry and the rest survive w/ this event?! Gosh, I really hated S for finishing D off. But somehow, just like D, I still feel that S is only acting on a plan to finally thwart evil LV.

This new installment to the HP series also produces sweet loveteams... hahaha! R & H are so funny... their story's kinda like all other romance flicks and books, but somehow, it feels cute. Maybe because you feel as though you're a witness to their growth and thus more affected with their feelings... The scene where H kisses G on the other hand is so cinematic that you can just picture how the movie would probably show this part.

I like Rowling's writing style in this one... she starts slow (almost boring) but by the time you get to the middle/end part, you're practically gripping the book, oblivious to all noises, lost in the world of Hogwarts. and when S kills D, you want to close the book and hurl it to S's head. Hahaha...

I'm so excited for the last book... book 7 will surely rock as much as this one does if not more! Will Hogwarts open once more, or shall the decision of the majority of the faculty rule and keep the school closed? We'll find out with the closing of the HP Series....

I wonder, tapos na kaya nina jordan at joshua to? Kung ikwento ko kaya kay ian ang storya? hahaha!

marikina: an after event blog

whew... break from harry potter's new installment....

hi, just got home from marikina where ian performed for a benefit show. i had so much fun today. why? nanlibre si ian ng dinner eh. hahaha!

well, the real reason is that madami-dami pumunta ngayon... and man, did we have a blast, di ba, siggy? pagdating namin sa venue (jo, migs, cha, and i) straight na kami sa backstage. so we were chatting with ian about stuff like why's he always wearing long sleeves in kampanera, how to creae great pics using adobe photoshop, the rottweiler leola gave him, etc. tapos nagstart na yung show kaya the four of us went back to our seats na. dun nameet namin yung ibang CFs who arrived a bit later than us kaya di na nakasama sa likod. medyo chat muna ng konti... tapos start na.

giselle, who hosted the show, opened with a song from destiny's child interspersed with jokes... very funny girl. then the other performers sang, one even staged a miniconcert. haha! then it was ian's turn.

teka bukas a karugtong... inaantok na ako eh. nyt!

at dahil tinamad na ako ituloy to... eto blog ni shirley:

MTV Awards

Wow... he's nominated for fave male artist for Hands to Heaven. Saya nun... why? Coz this is a great chance for us CFs to watch the awards night live... great opportunity, huh?

meanwhile, sana we could all vote him... online voting friends!

sa mga pupunta, see you guys tom!

*sorry this is a nonsensical post... excited for HP eh... hahaha.

live from marikina on saturday night

hey. this is a benefit concert... just don't know for what charity though. for sure, a lot of CFs will come especially since ian's meeting us for a (very late after show) get together. this would probably be the last time we'll meet with him before he flies back to the states for asap sfo show... hmm, i forgot to ask how many songs he'll be singing. i'll just text him tomorrow.

to those who may want to join, just look for the details on CBR.Com or CBR YG... yung kay migs...

exciting din na mapanood ang unang tapatan nina pinoypop champ jonalyn viray and sftsiam champ jerome sala.

nyt. =)

welcome! welcome!

hi guys, welcome to my blogsite for the Balladeer.

before anything else, let me clarify that this is by no means the official blogsite for him. this will only provide a venue for me to talk about ian and the rest of the CFs. Everything that will appear here (excluding the comments area of course) will only reflect my opinion and no one else's. you could also use this blogsite to gather updates that might not appear in the site or the yg.

pasensya na lang po kung magulo pa layout ha... i'm only beginning to study html eh.

i hope you could also give your comments here, para naman i could also get some insights from you guys. ok? thanks!
