I think I have to say this...: A Runway Experience

"I can’t forget a particular part where in I have to dress very quick for the next suit. And to do this…I have to remove my pants in front of our guest coordinator, only wearing a boxer type brief. And the funny thing was only the upper suit fits my size, pants won’t. So, I had to wear once more the other pants I took off a while ago."

I believe each one of us has a dream. And sometimes others might look at it as very ambitious. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because at the end of the day it gave you some thoughts about achievement and a little fulfilment in life.

I’d like to share an exciting part of my life where in I never thought it would happen.

One of the news program in Solar News Channel, named ‘Solar Newsday’, during their Christmas episode was then planning to come up with a special segment focussing on 2013 fashion fads.

They’ve invited guests and models for the live appearance on Christmas Day. But the dilemma of my co-producer Jojie Cardones at the time was they’re still on search for a male and female model.

I don’t know when it was offered to me and my co-worker named Grace, for the love in the program, we took the challenge.

I do have an idea of what’s going to happen, but the exact thing… oh no believe Me, I really don’t know that it’s going to be a big thing.

Immediately after Solar Headlines, the program I am handling as an Associate Producer, right then and there I went to the make-up room. There, personally I was introduced as the male model with a stylist named Jhay Layson.

I and the other female model Grace, were informed about a certain dress that we will have to wear during the show proper.

I have two interesting suits, one for gayla, and another for what’s in for 2013.

Right then and there we studied how to walk like we were in a ramp.

I remember I was asking the stylist Jhay, if I have to ramp serious or not, he says I have to be serious. So the whole time I never showed any facial expression.

I’ve been hearing a cheering co-worker from an open TV very near the Solar lobby where we did the modelling. I believe, they were all doing it as a support every time I and Grace, were on ramp.

I can’t forget a particular part where in I have to dress very quick for the next suit. And to do this…I have to remove my pants in front of our guest coordinator, only wearing a boxer type brief. And the funny thing was only the upper suit fits my size, pants won’t. So, I had to wear once more the other pants I took off a while ago.

I have been watching reality show like America’s next top model and quite aware of this particular cramming thing. But when I personally experience it, OMG, I said to myself…the job of the models is not as easy as we all thought.

The said appearance in the TV might be very short, but it was indeed another chapter of my life I will never regret and forget.

I’d like to say thank you to my Solar family for a very wonderful opportunity you gave me.

In such a way I was happy because my first time experience as a model was seen in the network I was with now. Believe me there was a butterfly in my stomach when I was doing it. But because I have a familiar crowd the fear lessen. I'd like to say thank you very much for my Solar News Channel family, especially the staffs and crew of Solar Newsday, for your overwhelming support in this endeavour.
