Have you experienced being seen on TV even just a simple second of camera shot in every where? Are you happy with it like giving deal for with that or just nothing? Or you are also a kind of person that is afraid of publicity it can be also a camera shy? I don’t like to be seen on TV of course I am shy with it. I remember one time that I watched the eviction night of Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 at eviction hall I was with my boyfriend as well, we were seating at the front that is near the stage but that is not really the first row. Then my boyfriend told me that we were focused for long seconds, then my boyfriend just lowered down his head. I even asked him that how come he haven’t told me then he pointed out that it was really a sudden when it happened. When I go back to the office I just changed my clothes so that no one will ask me if I was there. Another thing was when we were attended the Saturday mass which was anticipated there was a truck of cinema scope the one who is covering the mass so that it will be viewed by the next day in morning. Then it happens that we were there earlier so the people forced us to go in front so that it will look like there were a lot of people attending the mass. We are actually hesitated but then we still followed. It just so happens that I have my long hair that is why I was able to cover my face. Then when were in line for holy communion I just lowered down my head again and I think my hair covers my face. Something that I make sure that I won’t be seen on the camera. Unfortunately when I am trying to wait to watch the mass on the next day I was not able to see it.

I don't like it either. One time, we watched a talk show, my friend sat directly behind the celebrity guests' seats so we were shown pretty much all the time in the background. I didn't hide though 'cause I though it might make me look stupid and funny. Then once, a news team came to my workplace. I didn't even know that I was shot while working. Worse, I didn't even see that news since I never watch news. The following day everyone was, "hey, saw you on tv last night". I had to search for it online to find what they're talking about.

That is right when you act something strange especially hiding of course you will be noticed more and that could be very obvious in the public.

I definitely wouldn't want to be on television, not at all. I don't want to put myself out there for random people to discuss and comment on, and I don't want to lose control of my own image like that. Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a gameshow, or go on a program like What Not to Wear, but for me, it wouldn't be worth the benefits.

what you mean by it wouldn't be worth the benefits if you are going to attend the gameshow?

I guess I wouldn't mind it if I got paid enough for it, you know? (The right amount of money will strip my dignity HAHA) but at this point I would say I probably don't look camera ready at all.

Hi, metatronik! Being a musician and showman, I am on some shows time to time. It's a wonderful thing and I feel great being in fron of the camera. So, I think I'm a kind of person who like such kind of stuff :) I remember that I performed in a show where we were talking about my works and meanwhile we were discussing some social themes. There were some interested viewers calling - they were asking me questions. It was not unique or something . . . But it's was very interesting for me.
