I've never thought of myself as someone good in socializing. In fact, in all the years that I've brought my kids to school I've been unsuccesful in building my network with co-parents. Believe it or not (though am sure most of my friends would vehemently disagree), I am a little more of an introvert than an extrovert. I am NOT the type of person who will go out of my way to get to know you. It takes a lot of warming up before I am able to open up. So when Warangkana Gear Fajardo, CEO and Founder of Good Meal Hunting told me that there will be a video shoot of Viaña's to be scheduled soon, I was already imagining all sorts of scenario that may happen during the actual interview.
Anyway, the video shoot of my actual cooking demo and interview was done last Thursday here at my humble abode. I prepared 2 dishes, Chapchae (Sauteed Korean Glass noodles) and Barbecued Pork slab. Since I was pressed for time to buy pork ribs, I just used the one that I already have at home. The group who worked with me were all young girls; fresh graduates of Ateneo de Manila University. A very vibrant group of young ladies!
After the cooking demo, photo and video shoot, we did the interview next. I had to prepare for it. I know I am not really that good in answering extemporaneously. But I guess my experience in Saudi Arabia helped a lot in this area. Back there when my husband went to work and the children are in school, I would talk to myself 😂😂😂 .. well sometimes to the walls of our home., all things considered. I would even jokingly tell my husband that even the walls talk back in Arabic, so that any kind of communication is futile! 😂 hahaha Anyway, the interview went well, but it was as if I was suddenly on fire. I would like to think that I was able to answer the questions to the best of my abilities. But most of all I hope they could do something about my chubby face on cam hahahaha

Hahhahaha you did a great job sis! I hope I can cook like you but facing interviews whoa!never!! hahahaha. I am excited to see your recipe :)
You are experiencing the development within your personality, but it turned out perfect. Just discover your talent anf show to the world what you've got afterall.
To be more of an introvert and gone under the same project, sure it isn't easy but glad that you able to overcome it. Was that for a commercial?
That's one of my big issue too, I am not good in socializing, it's awkward to me. I only connect to few.
Wow! I bet the cooking demo was fun Sis. I am a shy person and so picky with friends that is the reason I have few that I can trust.
That must have been quite an experience and I'm sure you did well especially when you speak from the heart.
Your description of yourself sis is not how I imagine you. To me, you're very perky (even if we haven't met yet in the flesh but it seems like I've known you forever hahaha!) and amiable. I kind of see you as someone who'll be everybody's friend. So, I was surprised when you also commented in one of my blog post (I think, or in FB...) that you're also an introvert like me. I guess, we're kindred sisters. :)
Thank you for all your inputs! Oh and Arra I will share the recipe!
