It isn't much, I know, but it's something, especially since none of this was ever really planned. Started with just a couple of friends prodding me to start a blog, next thing I know I'm on my 50th post already. Tempus fugit!
Speaking of how fast time flies, I am becoming a bit nostalgic about some of the people I "left behind" in GMA. I miss them, especially my staff.
The program I handled the longest in GMA/Q was At Your Service, Star Power! Its last episode aired close to a month ago, but the real farewell to the show happened just this Friday at Cris' diner along Roces Avenue.
Most everyone was there, including our host, Iza, who is seen here with a chunk of ube halaya on her teeth. Nice, Iza! Beside her, of course, is the show's Executive Producer, Jacel, who is one of two (maybe three) people in AYS who have been there since it launched as a weekend morning show in GMA.
Segment Producer, Abi, who cried the most that night. Look at how much she has grown! She was only this small when she started. Hahaha!
AYS boys Macky, Lawrence, and Cris belting a classic in the karaoke. Oh Lawrence, look at how much you have GROWN, too! Hehe.
Iza's turn to sing: Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz. Coolness!
Iza and Abi sharing the microphone.
The team with a genuine heart for service. Group shot right before the...
...blowing of the candles.
Congratulations to the team that put up the most awarded show on Q! You guys brought home a New York Festivals award, 3 awards from the US International Film and Video Awards, and an Anak TV Seal. I'm proud of you!And never forget how you've changed many lives and helped many people in the show. You're all blessings to the world.
Ceremonial cutting of the cake? Why not?!
The ladies of AYS.
The REAL ladies of AYS.
The boys of AYS? Hahaha.I will so miss working with you guys. More than co-workers, I consider you friends and family. Until the next time!
More pictures coming soon. Rico and Addy promised to send me the ones they took.
