Thank you.
Post-Showtime taping speech. ^_^
We just finished the first taping last Sunday of my Filipino talk show here in Canada called “Showtime! with Johnny Bautista.”
I know it’s kinda a late blog entry, but better late than never, right? ^_^
Everything went well at the studio. I had a great time. I had to ask someone to take snapshots during the interview segment with the show’s very first guest Shibaten - a traveling busker from Japan.
Seriously, those red chairs look hot. The thing on the table is the logo of the studio. We had to put something on the table at the last minute. I think it worked out ok.
We did about a 6-minute interview. Time just flew right by while we were doing it. Maybe because I was a bit nervous during the start of the shoot. I felt more comfortable after a while though.
Shibaten is known for playing a DIDGERIDOO - a wind instrument of the Aborigines of northern Australia. I think in this pic I was asking him about the instrument he was holding - where he got it, what’s it made out of, and all that other stuff.
We both had a great time. He wanted to strike a pose with me right after we finished shooting. I was more than happy to oblige. ^_^ v
After the interview, Shibaten performed a track from his latest album. His music is something you have to experience. He was amazing!

After the taping: a quick photo-op with Shibaten’s manager Tracey.
NOYTUBE
One of the talk show’s segments is “NoyTube” - a segment that features videos made for and by Filipinos from all over the world.
The segment was inspired by a YouTube video of the same name.

The video being shown on the wall was created by JASON TELMO (aka “chinaeyes22), a graphic artist living on the Philippines. I asked his permission to use the term and video for the show. I’m so glad he said yes.
The pilot show will premier on Canadian cable this October. The next show will be taped in a few weeks. Thanks to everyone to supported me. Without you, this never would have happened.
Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat!
(Below is an online Facebook invitation by Ernie Santa Ana - my friend and a regular viewer of my blogtv show.)
I will be hosting an on-line birthday celebration for Johnny Bautista on May 5, 2009 from 8 PM to 11 PM Eastern (9 AM May 6 PHILIPPINE TIME!) - Tentatively. (Adjust your time schedule accordingly).
The celebration will take place on blogTV -
www.blogtv.com/people/erniesbudolab
I highly urge, if you do not have a blogTV account, to open one so that you can fully participate in the planned activities. (You may sign in as a guest, but for security reasons, “guest chat” may be disabled occasionally to ward off unwelcomed viewer comments from outsiders.)
Activities:
Ernie will “emcee” the celebration, and facilitate the technical end.
Of course, Johnny will be the center of our attention and has an open mic.
All friends will have multiple opportunities to appear as “co-host” (Have your earphones and webcams on stand-by!) Texting is cool too!
BE PREPARED. You may be asked to tell your “favorite Johnny story.” Or, SING or DANCE or showcase something creative or entertaining. It’s for Johnny! We’ll also have chances to compliment/entertain each other…
Bandwidth permitting, I’d like to try to video co-host people on Skype (yes Skype has video capability, too.) This way, we can keep Johnny on blogTV co-host. Crossing fingers my software can handle it…otherwise we go the old-fashioned way.
Music: Between now and May 3rd. Send to me 3-5 song titles w/artists that you would like to hear, either as background music or to be used in main entertainment. I’ll have my own…Johnny has tons. But, I’d like for all to contribute from their own tastes, too. I’ll do my best to compile them from my resources.
Virtual Birthday Cake…Johnny will blow out his candles online!
Recap of birthday presents received and pending…
Lastly…and it’s been a long time…SKYPE ORGY!!! See how long it takes before Johnny starts laughing.
New format - ONE on ONE (Everyone gets 30 seconds to tease Johnny). He’ll then rate you 1-10.
Then…ALL FOR NOTHING (Everyone at the same time). Epic, epic, epic win for everybody!
If you know of other friends of Johnny that are not on the Facebook invite list but may want to participate, please invite them to join in on the fun. There are more blogTV regulars, that are not here on Facebook. Please point them in my direction.
Send your music, ideas, comments, and suggestions to me at:
Hope to see you all there!
