3. Attitude problem is a virtue. It’s your greatest and strongest weapon. Foster it!
4. The best housemaids and house boys come from television production. They are all around and low maintenance.
5. Once they call you “day,” be proud coz your already part of the “all around” circle of kakatus or kakatulungin.
6. Day off is a crime. You are always proven guilty no matter what. No questions asked.
7. Hydrocephalus is the most common illness among rising or newly-promoted production staffs. It’s incurable and it becomes worse rapidly.
8. Kissing and licking your boss’ ass is an art so master it! It’s a surefire act for promotion.

10. I-pods really works during “talak” or nagging moments especially if you wish for silence.
11. Vitamins are inadequate to sustain production life. It is best to have an iron heart and mechanical body.

19. Detoxify once in a while to prevent continuous decay of personality.
20. Be sure to transform like a monster at work. Life is a jungle. Don’t forget to be wild, brutal and voracious!
21. In the end of every post production, you’ll definitely become a drama king/queen.
22. Praising a job well done could possibly be a sign of judgment day.
23. Ratings are divine. It’s to die for.
24. It’s better to be a social climber in making your way up.
25. Gods and Goddesses will recognize not the paper but the small dot on the paper because they wear perfect reading eye glasses.
26. Simplicity is in. Never wear havaianas slippers. They may be stolen at times.
27. Progress can be measured through a mobile unit.

Earvs, tumpak lahat. I swear! My 3 months stay there felt like 3 years. Became really sick and all. I didn't regret it because I learned so much from the experience. Honestly, it was my dream job. Well, not bein' a P.A. but to be in ABS. The taping days was fun but it became hell at some point. When I was transferred to editing that's where I enjoy most that I was able to practice stuffs from school. May nakalimutan ka pala Earvs, there is no space for mister/miss nice guy/girl in that line of business...dapat hitad ka. dapat tatag ka. bahala buhay ka don. they key word is always diskarte because they will never thank you coz you did something good. they'll will all notice all your pagkakamali. That's more important for them.
Earvs dear, i missed you so much! haha! miss ko na maging alipin saguigilid! I remember the decoding stuffs back in training. Leche! I remember the game with the balloons na talagang pinageffortan ko ng bonggang bongga. At di ko malilimutan ang pagakyat sa 7th floor ng Talent Center na walang elevator. But it was all fun. We learned so much. Tanong ng nanay ko anu daw napala ko sa Kapamilya. Sabi ko at least nakilala ko si Piolo. BOW!If you meet Wu Chun papicture ka tapos lagay mo sa paper I love you, Kalay! Mahal ko na sya! Uwi na kayo ni Lei...miss ko na kayo. Magbruneiuki na den kaya ko katulad mo?
Word for the day: Vanish!!! Earvs, vanish lang pala! nag-vanish tuloy tayo.

Kalay! Those were our hellish kapamilya days. Pero at least di ba natuto tayo! kahit kapagod, bongga ang pagunlad bilang isang tao! Just think of the past something na naging parte ng buhay natin at kailangan mag-move on.Talagang may nakatadhana for us. We should just be thankful with all our blessings and siempre, always put God in the center of our lives! Mabuhay tayo!
Hahaha! Natawa ako sa Vanish! Hahaha! Akalain mo yon, naka-two years din ako sa dos! hehehehe!
I totally AGREE!!!
