At GMA7 Studio B

If you watch the shows of Oprah or Ellen Degeneres, then you know, more or less, how a TV studio looks like. GMA 7 is a far cry from Oprah's or Ellen's studio - at least not the studio where we did the taping. Studio B was located at the obscure end part of the right wing of the main building. The guard's instructions (from the lobby) was: turn left, walk on until you see the water refilling station (yup, reverse osmosis galore)then turn right, go straight (and we almost hit the wall). Set in the tight hallway is a buffet table that was being continuously ravaged by anyone in the vicinity. Daughter #4 actually ate! As I entered the premise, I was greeted by Erick, the researcher, and was introduced to Cielo of Brown Pinay. I asked Erick how he found out about our blogs and he said that the writer and him Googled "pinay mom blogs". Duh? Of course I'll come out as the top blog.

The writer interviewed Cielo and I for a bit. At this point I wasn't sure what the segment would be all about. After some exchanges it became clear to me that we would be talking about some posts we wrote in our blogs. Good luck to me! We were not briefed on how to go about the discussion. We were not briefed on how to project (hahaha) ourselves. We would just have to wing it. Well, did we?
