our daily bore

A missed flight, stormy weather, an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude, tsunami warning, unretrievable video files because of virus and some other things add fun to our perfect getaway in Dakak and the rest of Dapitan, MIndanao. 

     We were about to shoot the season 2 pilot episode of the travel show "Where's Tony?" in Dapitan but we had a quick stop first in Dumaguete because of some unforeseen but avoidable events. But we're not complaining. As they say, it's the journey not the destination.

     At the tail of these pics, I was searching for the pictures where we got so sweaty and boom! Singing and feeling rockstars as we sing our hearts out. But of course, I was so cautious to bring the cam while singing Laklak, Lakas Tama and other hard rock songs. But yeah, cheers! Out of tune that we were, we weren't there to sing. We were there to entertain! 

It's been a while. Some busy days. Whew! Anyway, hope you can watch our new comedy show "Gag U!". It will start this Sunday July 15, 6pm after UAAP on Studio 23. Take a peek:

We covered the ICTSI Golf Tournament in Baguio and there wasn't much to do after noon, after shoot.. Except the usual tong-its, emperador.. And uhmm.. Photo shoot! haha :)

Some weeks ago, Iya Villania interviewed the band Tanya Markova. They talked about how the band was formed, what were they doing before it, their influences, who spends the most and some other things. 

Here's the segment that aired in studio 23 without yet the logo and other gfx:

Because our grade school teacher tells us that the word "more" shows comparison, so saying that "It's more fun in the Philippines", can I ask "More fun than what, than where?"

I'm just kidding. And it's not even funny.

Anyway, here are some of the comedians (random sample) that auditioned for Studio 23's new comedy show that will air soon:

Here are some details: 

There's no other way to say it: If you're funny and want to be part of this new comedy show that we are brewing, you might want to come. Here are some details:

And thankfully, Studio 23 is in some sort of rebranding. From the poshly channel to a more manly mood. Think NBA, PBA, UAAP and NCAA, etc. In the continuing streak of creating segments for the Kabarkada network, from Wazzup Wazzup to Eow Pohwz, and some other short lived shows; from the most trivial to the more political subjects; from the wackiest and the naughtiest to the most serious tone; the joys and tears; some travels and sleepless nights.. Here, is another fruit of mainstream entertainment:
