Ayan on the go.

Mike Enriquez

I never thought that writing for the famous Mike Enriquez would be my job for more than a year. It was quite an experience! You have to create a story for his famous radio program, Imbestigador sa DZBB, by the way, the program airs from Monday to Friday 9am, 11am and 5pm. As a researcher, you have to look for stories that will fit the theme of the program. You have to interview the people who seek help, who seek justice for the unfair treatment of the society. As a writer, you have to exhaust the best angle of the story of your subject. As a producer, you have to accumulate all the elements in order to produce the best quality program everyday.

This is what I do for the past year. It was tiring, yet it was so much fun. I love my job. I love what I am doing, that's why no Doubt, my mentor, Mr. Den entrusted me the most pain-in-the-as* workload in the whole universe. Ahaha! But, I did not regret any of it. It was worth all the experience!!

EVERYONE

FRIENDS...

I apologize for not writing to you for almost two weeks. Certain things happened to my life that brought me into new realizations. Well, number one. I lost my phone (it has a purpose why it did lost). Number two, I went to Baguio, it's like a retreat, soul-searching experienced. Hehe.. So there. I owe you so many stories. I hope you'll stay with me till the end of this week. I promise, I will post my pictures and kwentos as soon as I have enough time.

Maktub.

DAY 01 of 2010

I wake up in the wrong side of the bed. I planned to wake up early (as in early). I set the alarm clock at 5:30. My goal is to jog around Makati before the sun rises, but lucky me, I woke up at 8AM!!! I don't know if it's my fault or my phone didn't alarm on time. LOL (palusot ka pa ayan... style mo).
Seriously speaking, I told myself to start the year right. My first goal is to lose weight. AHEM! (For the nth time, I've been telling this to myself, pero infairness pumapayat naman talaga ako. hehehe! ASK OSCAR the great, ASA =p)
Anyway, I woke up frustrated so I sat down for couple of minutes to gain my momentum but the minutes turned into hours, still, nothing is happening. I was shocked when it was already noon. Heck! I was all set, all in the mood to do what is right but nothing happened. I wasted 4 hours of my precious time just sitting on the edge of my bed and watching TV. By this time I was so carried away watching Showtime (tuwang-tuwa talaga ako, Promise, bentang-bentang talaga sa akin yung show)

It was 1pm when I realized that I don't have a 2x2 white backgound pic for my ID. By this time, I decided to clean the house. I decided to move. I decided to act. As a bonus point, I did exercise to lose weight =)

3pm. I hurriedly went to Dimensions (sa tabi to ng eskwelahan sa Burgos sa Pasay kung saan sikat na sikat na nagpapakodak ang mga bagets na estudyante). I told the cashier that I needed 2 sets of ID pic. 4pcs. 2x2 and 4pcs 1x1. Rush! I need to get the pics and I need to reach MRT by 4pm.

Upstairs, I told the photographer that I needed WHITE background for my pic. *Click* Click* After a few minutes, I waited downstairs. I was so happy when he gave me the pictures at around 3:35pm. My smile is okay. I looked nice in the picture only to find out that it wasn't a White background!!! It's Red!!! (Amp! kung pwede lang talagang magalit, waaah! Hindi ko alam kung bangag si kuya or bingi lang talaga ako or siya.. ewan!)

Photog: Hindi mo naman sinabi sa akin kanina ma'am eh.
Ayan: ----
Photog: Tara kukunan ka ulit namin.

So there, he shot my picture again. I waited for another 35 minutes. On top of that I'm late for my class. When he approached me, I was relieved that this time,my picture is in White background but in the picture, I look like a mad lady! Shooooot!!! Waaahh.. Bugug!


The brighter side of it was I was able to submit my picture to my teacher. :p

Seriously speaking, today is a test of patience. haha!!


Spread love.
Conquer.
Enjoy!

Life Changing Experience

I always wanted to be the best person that I can be. No matter what it takes, I'll do my very best to achieve my goals. - Ayan


I remember when I was in sixth grade, my teacher asked us to accomplish an activity. The title of the activity was "When I grow up". I wrote on my paper --- When I grow up I wanted to be a famous business woman someday. Earning lots and lots of money. I will be able to graduate as a Magna Cumlaude in college. I wanted to take Business Management "
With full conviction I believed in my dreams. But I was shocked when my teacher told me that i was so ambitious. To her, I was a little too advanced in thinking ahead of time. I told my teacher that there's nothing wrong being ambitious. She got mad at me and told me that if I didn't change my paper, she will not let me share in front of the class. Well, I sat down, contemplated what she told me. After a few minutes, I approached my teacher again. I told her that it's okay if I'm not going to recite but I'm going to keep my paper as a reminder that this is my dream.This is what I wanted to achieve in Life.


The good news is... I've never become a Magna cumlaude in Business Management course.. Ahaha! But I am a business woman now. (that I have a mind set like business woman) Ahaha! seriously. What I learned from that experienced is becoming Ambitious is not negative attitude. It's a drive that keeps you going to achieve your Goals in Life. Kudos!

So for an opening for 2010, I want to share with you a beautiful book that I read that affirmed me in my life. Hehe.. I am a visionary. So this book helped me to convert my dreams into a reality.. The title of the book is For Richer and For Poorer by Chinkee Tan

Tell you an example.

September 2008 - I was in Mcdonald's in Ortigas. I was an applicant for an Exchange student in UAP, (sad to say it didn't push through), I was waiting for Drew, while waiting for him, I was doodling. I doodle that by October 08- January 2010, I'll be able to join ABS-CBN or GMA 7, either of the two network companies will do. I was shocked when DZBB called me and told me I'm going to start there as a Writer. I always wanted to be a writer. I was so amazed that after couple of weeks I saw that notebook and I can't believed that careless doodling will end up being me career. I became an Executive Producer in one of the radio programs in DZBB hosted by a well-known anchor after seven months.

So tell me, is it bad to become ambitious?

2010 for ME

Ups and downs, all the drama in the world, but that year sums up to Blessings, blessings and more blessings. =)

So, are you ready to take a ride with me on my rollercoaster experience? Hehe.. Cheers!
