Why TV internship can be bitterly/overly SWEET: SEVENTH WEEK

September 20 – September 26, 2010

SEPTEMBER 20 - SIXTEENTH DAY

It’s Monday and once again I was assigned to Asar Talo. I felt happy about it since this time I felt like I am becoming more productive as compared to last week’s taping. Since at the very beginning of the taping, I was already busy doing idiot boards for a number of scripts. Plus the crew knew me already that was why they don’t have a hard time asking for my help. They once in a while ask me to do some little errands for them. Of course, I felt happy that I am being of much use to them, I love helping out anyway. Plus the thought that even with these simple things, they remember me. It meant a lot to me.

For instance, Ate Cham, one of the production assistants of the show, every now and then compliments me as to the manner of my work and the way I handle myself with the crew. Most of them would even mistake me as a staff and not as an intern. And the moment they learned that I’m an intern, they would really ask a lot of questions about me and would insist on me to work in GMA especially at the said show as soon as I graduate. Of course, I felt really honored and happy about this. So in return, as a kind of gesture, I make sure that in everything that I do, I always show my enthusiasm.

That internship day was a bittersweet one because it would be my last taping day at Asar Talo. So the crew really made sure that I have a picture of myself in action during the production. They even forced me into it. HAHA. Really funny but I had a great day. And another 7 hours down!

===============================
SEPTEMBER 23 - SEVENTEENTH DAY

Since I don’t have class today, I decided to go to my internship. It’s Thursday, so there’s no particular program that is assigned to me. I was then sent to the taping of Love ni Mister, Love ni Misis. As soon as I arrived, Sir Jake asked me to help him out with the scripts and with the idiot boards. It was already too cold inside the studio but I have no choice but to bear with it. And as soon as I finished the idiot boards, I was asked by the Art Department to help them. Good thing, I was only allowed to cut out the boards, pictures, scripts as well as graphics and paste them all together. I actually thought I was about to do some major artsy stuff and that would tantamount to disaster. HAHA. Seriously, since I am not the type of person who is inclined to art or even has talent for it. Tsktsk.

Soon as I finished my work, the taping was about to start. The first episode was really entertaining. My eyes and my heart were overwhelmed. HAHAHA. Guess what would happen if 2 famous celebrities along with their equally handsome siblings are to entertain you? OMG right?! What a treat really! Though I was initially not a fan of either Aljur Abrenica or Rocco Nacino, after their performances I admit I’M ALREADY A FAN. :”> Plus, both their siblings were talented too and of course good-looking. HAHAHAHA. :D

Meanwhile, the second episode was on couples. The guests include Douglas Kramer along with his beautiful wife Cheska Garcia and Karel Marquez along with her husband. I guess this episode was really interesting, too bad I wasn’t able to finish the taping since it really started out late and as an intern, I was only allowed to stay until 8pm. Oh well, even so I really had a fun and productive internship day. And again 9 hours down, 10 more hours and I’m done.
