a break from my usual routine 🙂 break from corporate world, weddings and events…and yes, this is another “check” on my “to-do” list…and for now, the closest thing that i can get on my film making dreams…plus i’ve always wanted to shoot my favorite balladeer and future wedding singer 🙂 i’ve been a fan of Christian since day 1 of his Star in A Million days 🙂

night before the shoot, i listened to one of my “motivation” songs from one of my favorite bands to overcome that fear of giving and trying a shot at new things and just take that leap of faith…

Akala ko alam ko na ang lahat
Ng dapat kong malaman ngunit
Mali na naman, pero ok lang yan…

Wag kang matakot na baka magkamali
Walang mapapala kung di ka magbakasakali
Dahil lumilipas ang oras, baka ka maiwanan
Kung hindi mo susubukan…

 —-

Akala ko walang mapupuntahan kahit na paghirapan ngunit,
Mali nanaman, kung hindi mo sinubukan sana’y hindi ko na nalaman
Eh di nasayang lang

Wag kang matakot na baka magkamali
Walang mapapala kung di ka magbakasakali
Dahil lumilipas ang oras
Baka ka maiwanan kung hindi mo susubukan

Wag kang matakot na baka magkamali
Walang mapapala kung di ka magbakasakali
Dahil lumilipas ang oras
Baka ka maiwanan kung hindi mo susubukan

(lines from Parokya ni Edgar’s Akala)

creating this video is experiencing God’s love…on those days that i’m losing my confidence, i received enough words of affirmation that i can do this… on those days that i was worried for everything (just me being consistent with worrying), He made every pieces fell on their places and above all, He put the right people in my path 🙂

thank you Christian Bautista for this opportunity.  thank you for believing 🙂

thank you Toni (with Ate Siony and Sharon) for saying yes as usual.

thank you to all those who funded this dream and who made this little dream of mine came true 🙂  i just want to try “something different” with my camera. i know after watching the video you’ll find out why i feel so thankful for this “something different” that i’d prayed for  🙂

thank you to all those who helped out and joined me in this shoot. i hope all of you enjoyed the day the way i did 🙂 thank you Cris for saying yes and be Christian’s partner on this video 🙂 thank you MN8 Studio for being so accommodating.  thank you to Che, Gil Castillo and Nico for the editing and post production 🙂

original plan is to release this as a Valentine gift to all Christian Bautista fans out there but then maybe you would not notice since you’re all busy staring with your dear ones and posting photos of how great your valentine’s day went…so now, i hope you can find the time and enjoy viewing my fan video 🙂 please do share and let me know your thoughts 🙂

by the way, please vote for Christian at MYX Awards 🙂

here’s my fan video –

currently listening to my “heart’s song” 🙂

I’ve never been
The one to raise my hand
That was not me
And now that’s who I am
Because of YOU
I am standing tall
My heart is full
Of endless gratitude
YOU were the one
THE ONE who guide me through
Now I can see
And I believe
It’s only just beginning

This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now

dear God, do i make You proud? 🙂
