Showbiz Time For Happy Mommy Bloggers

While the rest of Philippine Blogosphere is rocking, let’s tune in to my dear friends , Cathy, Annamanila and myself. When I told Annamanila that we were invited for a MomWorks Special at the Lifestyle Channel (in Sky Cable) she balked. “Was this your idea?”

“Of course not!”, I answered back. I never got to ask the producers how they chose Cathy, Annamanila and myself. Cathy doesn’t know either so yes, Annamanila, it wasn’t a conspiracy.

I convinced her . “Treat it as an adventure, it’s something fun to do . Do something you’ve never done. Let’s inspire mommies to blog”.

Good thing Annamanila relented.

I don’t relish the idea of appearing in television. For starters, I look as if I gained 10 pounds. But this was no ordinary TV shoot. The fact that two of my positive uplifting friends were shooting with me seemed such an exciting fun thing to do.

Oh let me count the ways:

1. Prettifying our faces. Oh the power of makeup on my 50 year old face! Those eyebags turned invisible.
2. Checking each other’s telegenic profile before the shoot. We look out for each other’s best view making sure that double chin doesn’t show.
3. A real live conversation and surfing, oblivious to the cameraman.
4. Sharing the fun of blogging and comparing notes.
5. Pigging out on yummy desserts while sipping coffee or tea.
6. Figuring out how Windows Vista wi-fi works.

A half a day of fun it was and I recall the love and the friendship of my two dear friends. So you think it was a coincidence we were all together for this show? You have to watch them affirm the good and the real meaning of friendship.

Mark your calendars. Watch the Segment 3 of Moms Work Special on the Lifestyle Channel (on your cable TV) to be shown on August 17 at 10:00 PM to be replayed August 18 at 10:00 AM and August 19 at 6:30 PM. The special is hosted by Chiqui Roa Puno.

    Noems, we got picked because they found the Mother Bloggers article that I wrote for PDI. Apparently that article generated a lot of media mileage and has gotten a lot of moms a’ blogging away!
    Yes, I had a wonderful time shooting with you and Myrna. It was good to be around you two, sharing mommy stories and gaining insights from two, happy and wise women :) looking forward to more collaborations with you ladies!

    I think there was something wrong with my connection kanina. I posted a comment but it didn’t come out.

    Anyway, I wouldn’t miss this for the world. Hehehe :)

  • http://aboutmyrecovery.com Noemi

    @ladycess- oh you might appear on TV too. I gave a photo of that PMN meet last May because they wanted a photo of me with bloggers. What better way than to show that photo!

    @Kongkong62- Yup Don’t miss us.

  • http://imomonline.net chateau

  • http://mysoulfulthoughts.blogspot.com/ Rach

    What a wonderful opportunity. Thanks for sharing the photos. I’m afraid we don’t have that channel on our cable network. I agree with Dexie and the others. I guess I just have to be patient.

    Cathy is one of my favorite Filipino bloggers, one of the very first that I discovered. I enjoy her writing and the inspiration that I receive, not only from her writing, but on the activities that she pursues.

  • http://missyosigirl.blogspot.com missyosigirl

    oooooh, i was there when you were shooting scenes (i was at starbucks hehe)! i thought cathy (if i’m correct) was hilda koronel – i even twittered it here and here.

    katuwa naman :D

  • http://mitchteryosa.wordpress.com/ Mitcht

    Ay sayang wala kaming channel na yan dito. Good idea upload na lang para mapanood naman namin! ;-)

  • http://ode2old.com annamanila

    Hmmm … and I don’t have cable TV. Sige, just let me know how ghastly i look.

    Seriously, kailan ang next show natin nila Cathy? Nawili eh. :)

    Will blog about it too before the show … and will use that fluke of a shot you took of me while being interviewed. Chance!!

    Pa-autograph! Hehehe.

  • http://aboutmyrecovery.com Noemi

    @rach-, Mitch I hope to get my CD very soon.

    @Nick- That’s good you found Cathy’s blog. She’s an inspiration to me.

    @missyosigirl- wow that’s a coincidence. The coffee shop we stayed had very weak wi-fi. Haha. Hilda Koronel. I have to tell this to Cathy. Maybe the Hilda Coronel 10 years ago

    @annamanila- Abangan. Coming Soon.

    @aileen- sure…*signs and gives back paper*. teehee

    Yay! I’ll watch this! Then i’ll brag about having met 2 out of 3 of those moms. Judging from how I’ve known you and Miss Cathy, I’m sure Miss Annamanila is very deep and really fun to talk with as well. :)
