I just came back from my first day of practicum at GMA. Today is shooting day so my friend Lilibeth (from Letran) and I were chartered off to a house in White Plains….There's so many things I want to write and say but I'm simply so pooped out! So pardon the lack of literary pulchritude--I'll be a telegram for now.

It was SCORCHING HOT! (and we couldn't open the fan while taping was going on coz it could be heard in the background)

The house was BEE-YOO-TI-FULL! (Antiques, marble, paintings, kidney-shaped pool overlooking a view of houses and mountains and trees)

Free Food! Free meals and merienda!

Production people are really nice and we just have to paalam properly if we have to absent or go home early: perfect for me!

I did a VOICE OVER! I was Mona, Rosemarie's (Antoinette Taus) friend whom she's asking for help. I give excuses and apologize why I can't help her. Hehe. I'm not sure when it will be aired, though.

We were taught the meaning of production codes such as I/N, E/N, I/D, E/D, Cure, Insert, Episodes, Sequences, Takes , etc. We were also given a list of sequences and the characters in each.

I went home early today (8pm) since it's our first day to report. Our schedule is MWF pre-production at GMA 2pm onwards. TTHS are taping days, 7am till morning the next day. I'll probably be staying just until 12 midnight or something. I'll have to think it over pa.

Behind the scenes info, chikka, etc.

I'd say it's the start of a fun experience at GMA. I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!
