Puring-puri ang mga co-stars sa ‘Saving Grace’: SHARON, aminadong nahirapan sa mga eksena dahil sa ‘jetlag’

MAY mahabang kuwento si Megastar Sharon Cuneta na ibinahagi sa kanyang Facebook post.

Panimula ni Mega… “Hello again! Just a bit of kuwento for my FB Family.

“Kiko, Miguel and I, together with Yaya Hanzel arrived from New York on the morning of September 5. It was a looong flight (and I usually love LONG – even long-ER — flights!), because of delays and all that. But the service in-flight was as usual, wonderful.

“I usually recover from jetlag in about two weeks – wherever I may be, if the time difference is huge. Matagal talaga bago ako makapag-adjust.

“So hilo pa ako sa pagkakulang sa tulog on September 8, but I happily went with my two boys to Nueva Ecija to attend the wedding of the son of Miguel’s Nana Carmen who has been his Yaya since he was about two years old. Kiko and I were Ninong and Ninang to James and Angelica, and Miguel was Best Man (nagvolunteer siya!). Nana Carmen is a very special member of our household and we all love her so much!”

Pagpapatuloy pa ni Mega, “The next day, September 9, it was back to work on “Saving Grace” for me! Always happy to be on the set, but jetlag has ruined me yet again and it was hard doing scenes on about only two hours of sleep. Tapos hapon pa lang inaantok ka na at bumabagal na ang pagsalita mo! Ngee.”

Dagdag kuwento pa ni Sharon tungkol sa mga co-stars niya, “Yesterday naman we were taping in Navotas. Jennica Garcia is always a pleasure to work with, kasi magaling na artista talaga ang batang yan at masaya kaming magkatrabaho. “Christian Bables was there too and first time naming magkaeksena sa show na ito together. He and I became close during a season of “Your Face Sounds Familiar” where he was a contestant and I was one of the judges.

“Tawa lang kami ng tawa pag magkakasama pero amazing silang dalawa na panoorin kasi pag sumigaw na ng “Action!” biglang ang galing nila kahit mabigat na eksenang madrama. “Nakakatuwa pag ganyan ang mga kaeksena mo kasi gumagaang ang trabaho at nakaka-inspire sa sarili mong pag-arte!”

Masayang kuwento pa niya, “Fe Delos Reyes plays my best friend and manager in the show, and I always have a great time working with her kasi matagal na akong fan ni Fe – I was sixteen when I would watch her as a member of the band “Music and Magic” at the old Tavern On The Square in Makati (kung saan kinunan ang eksena namin ni Angela Bofill na kumakanta sa movie kong “Friends In Love”).

“Tapos naging comedienne sya at super talagang nakakatawa si Fe pag nagshow na! In this show we have both dramatic and fun scenes together. I have a lot of affection for her kasi in the 1980s pa lang, napakabait na, masaya kasama, magaling kumanta at magpatawa!

“I’ve also done lots of scenes with Sam Milby whom I’ve known for years! Barkada sila noon ng panganay ko and he and their friend group used to come to our former home in Wack-Wack Village where I would sometimes cook for them.

“So in all, masaya ang working environment ko, thank God!”

Dagdag pa niya, “Add to all that the fact that my two Directors, Direk FM Reyes and Direk Dolly Dulu are really good at what they do. It truly makes a big difference in an actor’s work when your directors know how to motivate all of you actors and take the script to heart. Hindi lang yung ‘robotic’ na kukunan ang eksena na hindi inaaral ang layers ng bawat character sa show.

“And the whole staff and crew are just so professional, efficient and happy, and pleasant to work with, that the set is so magaang! I love a happy set. I cannot give my best when it isn’t. I thrive when it is and I am so grateful that God gave me not just this show but all the people involved in it.”

Pagtatapos pa ni Mega, “More kuwento if you like next time?

Thanks and God bless us all! I love you!”

Ikinatuwa ng Sharonians ang latest update na ito ni Sharon at maghihintay sa susunod pa niyang kuwento.
