Pinoy Radio 98.5FM

Hi Guys!

I've been pretty busy this week with doing some PR work for Miss Phils-Aus.

I'l be doing a radio spot tonight after 8pm with Pinoy Radio on 98.5FM! So listen out for it! I'll be talking about what ive been doing lately, what i am currently doing and also just about my sponsors and giving a big shout out to them.

I'm also hoping to get another sponsor on board to back me for the pageant.. Its a bit of a surprise! So i'm hoping they'll say yes!

It would be awesome to have them backing me... and it would definitely blow all the other candidates out of the water. So fingers crossed!

Hope to have you all listening tonight! And if i can get an mp3 or copy of it! il be sure to post it up!

Apart from that watch out over the next few weeks for various publications and press releases that should be happening with your truly on the inside!

Photoshoot with John Fick

I did a shoot on the weekend with the extremely talented John Fick. (www.johnfick.com)

He is an amazing photographer and together with his wife who was also the make up artist, they were extremely lovely people.

I think its always important to have a good relationship with your photographer because the end product is always a collaborative effort. And what an end product these shots were. I asked for editorial style shots and well... he delivered! He certainly did justice to the dress *love*

Special thanks goes to Leo, a brilliant Filipino Australian Designer, whose clothes make any girl feel like a million dollars! (www.leonardosalinas.com.au)

So.. here are a few shots! Amazing aren't they?







Love this dress!

Icon Rehearsals

So we started the first day of rehearsals for Icon Avenue on Sunday! And after walking into rehearsals with a whole bunch of professional actors and a few Australian celebrity icons, i felt like the pressure was on for me to perform and perform well. Because afterall.. who am i in the scheme of things?

After feeling slightly intimidated with my surroundings, it was finally my turn... The only asian girl in a cast of caucasians. The only girl who didnt have a large onscreen pressence backed by tv shows and press. So what do you do? You deal with it and hope for the best.

We ran through a couple scenes and in true Onion fashion, the pressure was on to act spontaneously, naturally and unscripted. So i did.

Afterwards, i felt everyone (my audience of professional actors) staring at me. I sat down. Didnt say a word and felt a rush of disappointment run through me. Shortly after, the director says "Ok Aprille. Great. Thats a wrap". Feeling like, it was something a director says to an actor who couldn't pull through i left.

On the drive home, thats all i culd think about. How i could've improved or how i could've done better.

So to my surprise, this morning when i checked my email and there was an email waiting for me from the Director of Icon... i was shocked to see his feedback:

Aprille,

You nailed it today. I didn't even want to see you after the first few minutes.
Brilliant work. I will be in touch this week to confirm some dates etc.

cheers..
It definitely put all my worries to rest and definitely gave me the validation i needed when it comes to this aspect of my career. You are always your worst critic. I shuld know!

RESCUE ME!

RESCUE- Van

So ive been home for about 2 or 3 weeks now and finally work has started to pick up again for me back home.

Today i had a 10hour day shooting for an up and coming tv series called Rescue hitting free to air tv early next week. So stay tuned for that!

As much as i love my job... great pay. easy work. doing something i love! Sometimes i just cant help but complain... i went to sleep at 2am this morning because i was shooting another project yesterday for the ABC.

Dilemma.

I had to be ready on location at 6am. Meaning 1 hour to drive there and 1 hour to get ready. Therefore, i had 2hours sleep!! And waking up at 4am to head to clovelly beach in the middle of winter is always fun!! And by fun i mean HELLA cold!

But i guess... i have things to be thankful for... thank god for catering... and PA's who chase you around and provide you with your own robe to keep you warm! *love*

For the most part.. i was telling myself.. if i was at home for 10hours i wouldnt be making any money... So, being here doing almost nothing while getting paid is definitely worth it.. It was a pretty long day of toughing it out in the cold and getting wet.

The whole episode was centred around shooting a scene which required us to be on the edge of a beach cliff taking part in some illegal raving activites.. then as karma would have it... a massive tidal wave comes and knocks us all out.. Thank god for the gorgeous rescue boys and rescue policemen =p no 28. and no. 26 mmmmmmm i *heart* my job

Anyways.. enough about that.. here are some photos..

Clovelly beach at 6am

My illegal raving wear aka what wardrobe dressed me in

i *heart* catering!!!

food.. tasted so good!
