My Divine Refuge Season 3 Premiere
Episode 1: Opportunity Knocks
“Is this is your first VTR?”
“Opo?”
“Have you tried performing?”
“Yes, I act on stage and perform with a Chorus group.”
“Oh that is interesting.”
“But this is my first time to try modeling for a print ad or commercial.”
“Di bale, madali lang yan. Do you mind kung kukunan ka naming ng Video?”
“Know I don’t mind.”
At that moment medyo kinakabahan ako. Hindi ko lang pinapahalata. Kailangang maging confident as long as possible. Nakakatuwa lang itong mga nangyayari sa akin. 2009 is indeed something new for me. Hindi pangkaraniwang mga bagay. Mga opportunidad na kailanman hindi ko inaasahang darating.

2nd day in my new work as a Web and Mobile Designer. Mayroon agad load. Still adjusting in everything. Commute, oras kung kalian dapat magising, food budget at kung anu-ano pa. Konti pa lang kilala ko, buti na lang yung friend ko na dating officemate ay nasa Summit din. Instant may Lunch buddies na ako. Puro girls pa hahahaha.
Ok moving on, it was a very long day in front of my work area. Dahil hindi pa naman ganoon kadami ang work load kaya plurk lang ako nang plurk at nagbabasa ng blogs online. Kwentuhan with friends at nangiistorbo ng mga busyng tao. I got the chance to chat with Kath. Siya yung pinakahuling closest friend ko sa previous company ko. She really misses me a lot. Wala na siyang kakulitan sa office. And I miss her too. So I promised to have a lunch or dinner get together with her and some other friends.
I was busy doing something online when Francis texted me and ask me if I can still consider the modeling offer. Previously I already denied the offer since it requires me to go for a VTR during office hours. Eh bago pa lang ako sa work ko absent na agad. So ayun. Kaya nagulat na lang ako at last minute ay tinext pa ako ni Francis. So we agreed with the time and he send me the address of the venue in Makati.
After finishing some final touches to my current project, I left office for Makati.

“Umpisahan natin ang Video shot mo ha.”
“Ready na po.”
At kinunan ako nang iba’t ibang angulo at iba’t-ibang emosyon. Mula sa isang happy go lucky na tao hanggang sa isang inis na inis na pasahero ng bus na inagaw ang upuan niyang ibibigay sana sa isang senior citizen. I remember this kind of thing years back nung nasa theatro pa ako. Kung tutuusin mas matindi pa pinagagawa naming sa mga aplikante noon. Kung sabagay, print ad lang naman ito.
The VTR lasted for I think less than half an hour. Paalis na ako sa building nang maalala ko na may invite ako for an advance movie screening ng Australia starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Eh fan ako ni Nicole kaya nagmadali akong sumakay ng bus for Glorietta.
Few minutes before the screening starts, I met my blogger friends (Carl, Mark and Micah) at the cocktails buffet. I grab a quick meal dahil di pa talaga ako nagdidinner. And after devouring my meal for only less than 10 seconds we entered the cinema meeting up with another blogger (Sarah). Sakto lang at maguumpisa na ang movie.
It was a very good film. Though not for shallow minded people still enjoyable and has scenes that all may find very interesting. After the movie I joined Sarah pauwi since pareho kami ng destinasyon which is Crossing.
Hinatid kami ni Sarah ng iba naming kasama sa bus stop kung saan may naghihintay nang bus. We bid our friends goodbye at agad kaming sumakay. The nung pumasok kami, nagulat kami ni Sarah nang isang grupo ng mga kalalakihan ang sabay sabay na tumayo at sinalubong kami. At first you will only think na bababa sila pero ang nakakapagtaka, umiiwas na kami sa kanila pero siniksik pa rin kami.
Then habang sinisiksik kami, doon ko na napansin na yung isang lalaki is reaching for my bags front pocket. Nabuksan na nga niya at naipasok na yung kamay nita sa bulsa. Too bad, nothing so important there. Hahahaha. Kay Sarah naman walang nakuha dahil bantay sarado siya sa bag niya. Bumaba ang mga damuho na walang nakuha sa amin. Their opportunity to rob us is a failure.
Nang makaupo na kami, I immediately called the bus conductor’s attention about the group of men. Narinig ng ibang pasahero, kaya sabay sabay silang nagcheck ng gamit nila. Unfortunately, may ilan sa mga pasahero ang nahablutan na ng wallet.
Wala na akong magawa kundi umiling.
Narating namin ang Crossing in about less than 15 minutes. Naghiwalay na kami ni Sarah since siya papunta siyang Shaw at ako’y pauwi na ng Rizal.
Isa lang ang natutunan ko sa araw na ito. Opportunity really knocks only once. Opportunidad na maipakilala ang sarili sa mundo, opportunidad na sumaya at opportunidad na ipagtanggol ang sarili. Minsan lang dadating ang mga ‘yan.
So we must grab the chance for there could be no second time.
