I always get very nervous everytime I have to pose for a photo - especially for print ads or magazine features. I'd much rather be thrown unprepared on national/international live TV, than pose for a photo. I just feel it's not my forte. But I can probably talk my way through a live report as long as its in English. Luckily, I've had the chance to

photos

[daphneosena]

thanks for the nice words. i got to ABSCBN without a portfolio. i didn't know how to smile (in the blue steel kind of way, LOL) until my friend Angel Aquino coached me during our first photo shoot. it was for a print ad, a year after our show F was on air. prior to that I had very little experience in print. still learning.

you take photos? show me. are you in flickr?

you're welcome. ^_^ i don't take photos but i would love to pursue it, sooner rather than later.

but really, photography fascinates me alot. when i was younger, i saw 2 broken SLRs that belonged to my dad and i wanted to ask him to give them to me so i can have them checked in Quiapo if it's still redeemable but alas, he says it's not with him anymore :(

tagalog

[daphneosena]

i speak tagalog very well but not good enough for broadcasting. not good enough to speak and tell stories without a script. i guess because there is still a "delay" because i have to translate it in my head.

i was born and got my elementary education in manila. we were raised in primarily an english-speaking household (my grandmother was ilongga). i learned tagalog through my playmates and spoke it well eventually.

i don't think everyone in Manila can go on live TV and speak Tagalog straight - the way the news anchors do. let alone someone who spent half her life outside the country. that's what I mean....

when I'm in a panic - scared, frazzled, late, harrassed, in an emergency - I forget Tagalog words. so instead i stick to english.

nothing against Tagalog. i converse well... and proud to say with no Balikbayan twang. its just not good enough for live television the way Korina, Karen and Ces speak.

speaking on tv

[daphneosena]

its a skill.

just like English. even if you're good at speaking English, not everyone can go oncam and speak the way broadcasters do.

same with Tagalog. street-speak is different for TV-level

Miss Black

[misspatch]

Last year, David and Goliath used college students around the metro for their ad campaigns. Luckily, our barkada was one of the two groups they considered from Ateneo for the shoot, and Miss Sara Black was our photographer that time.

She seemed intimidating at first (say natin sa ganda at tangkad ni lola?), but then it got all better as she pressed the shutter of her big camera, haha. Hers was indeed HUGE. Wala lang, sharing lang. Photoshoots are my hyperrealities, if you ask me.

Going back to your blog, I must say that you look ferosh in those fab jewelry. Love the hair, love the face! You need not be afraid of the camera, Miss Daphne. As my friends and I say: Ganda at kabog factor lang iyan!

[daphneosena]

she's amazing. i love her!

thanks for the nice words
