Merry Dabarkads!

MERRY DABARKADS
-ryandgreat, ortigas center, pasig city

first of all, thank you Lord for allowing me to do the things that i want to do

and i can probably say that i have the best job in the world because i don't feel that i'm working everyday and because everyday is a happy day at work?!

we're on the home stretch already!

but truth be told, we've already taped the remaining episodes last week that will be aired this week!

i'm just too happy to spend a break before going back to work on the 1st day of 2008 next week!

as i reviewed some of the events from my work in the past months, i came to realized just how much fun it really was

never mind the long hours at work for as long as i'm with my co-workers until the wee hours! and we're always loud and noisy at that very late hour! 

by being together most of the time, i think, by now, we've built a comfortable work atmosphere already and that we've become familiar to one another

and broadway studio and tape office, by way, serves as our second home because of the continuous work load

that extends until the following live airing of the show where we're completely sleep deprived!

and working for a live tv show could bring out so much of stress, from physical exhaustion to short tempers and many sleepless nights

and the many last minute changes and the complication of the preparation up to the point of execution during the live shows!

but this is the most fun and fulfilling experiences for someone who wants to be in this business as you'll learn a lot from this!

i'm also thankful for the opportunity to work with people that are already an institution!

they've been in this business for so long before i even came in this world! and i look up to them as my mentors

being part of a daily show again, is not easy but whenever i realize how much of happiness we bring in to every filipino mula batanes hanggang jolo

and that we give an opportunity to everyone, i'm more than fulfilled and all the chaos was all worth it!

this tv show, is never lacking of fun and laughter and i’m only happy to do whatever i'm doing right now with the rest of my eat... bulaga dabarkads!

by far, this is the biggest break that i've been waiting for so long

and it's amazing that everything has fallen into place after all the waiting, rejections, frustrations that i've been through during the half of 2006!

i am just grateful more than anything else. indeed it's a lucky and merry 2007! thank you Lord!
