Jocie at Chika Minute

I was pleasantly surprised to see myself in the video section of PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). My fellow editor Rommel and I were present at the press conference of the comedy movie Manay Po 2: Overload held at the Imperial Palace Suites last March 13.

Just like in school, I was taking down notes furiously so I didn't notice that the camera crew of GMA-7 had positioned itself behind us and took footage of the cast members including Rufa Mae Quinto, Cherry Pie Picache, Polo Ravales, John Prats, and Jiro Manio, among many others.

It also gave me the chance to bond with Giselle Sanchez, who refers to me as her "pretty schoolmate" since we both went to UP Diliman. She even remembered that I was in the same batch as Izel (more popularly known as Tuesday Vargas).

But the highlight of the evening was our deep conversation with Rufa Mae, who was such a blast to talk with. She was very open about the new man in her life whom she fondly calls "Ken" since he calls her as "Barbie." Come to think of it, Rufa Mae can be considered the Barbie of the Philippines. After our conversation, Rufa Mae hugged me and said, "I had fun!" I had fun too!
