AS promised...I am going to share with everyone my latest craze...KIS(Kahit Isang Saglit)...it all started last year...as you can see from my earlier post...I gave u guys a glimpse of who the leads were...It's Jericho Rosales and Carmen Soo...well..the shoot took them 6 months ( an unforgetable 6 months) that covers bits and pieces of Malaysia(KL,Melaka,Langkawi,Cameron Highlands,Port Dickson and many more) and the Phillippines...the start of the shoot saw the beginning and ending of a contraversy(more of a blessing in disguise) for echo who was challenged by the break-up of him and his ex-gf...to make it worse...the innocent Miss Carmen Soo was drag in as well by being named as one of the people behind the break-up...it was not true at all and as time flies...it was a big lie after all.Later in the middle of production..the KIS production lost its director..Manong Gilbert Perez( a legend) after suffering a heart attack..this was for me a blessing in disguised as iwell coz n my opinion..the whole production team became closer after has suffered many challenges and tragedies.The direction was later taken over by Direk Jerry Lopez Sineneng(also a master).
Being a Pinoy-Malaysian production..the whole production and marketing was conquered by the pinoy team mainly because it was written and directed and was first shown in Pinas.As some of you may know...promotions done in Pinas are very different from what Malaysia has used to see...there...the whole leading cast will appear in as many variety shows and talk shows as possible to promote the drama...Echo n Carmen even had to sing songs to arouse the audience mood in order to get them to join the KIS ride....and what a ride it was!!!!
When KIS was first aired in Pinas on September 15th 2008...I was one of the few Malaysians who were catching the drama via online streaming...and if the broadband line or coverage was bad..we continued on you tube as there were a few people who were kind enough to upload it on the same day...it was a daunting task...as there were times when we had to wait up to 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning jz to catch a clearer version of the nite's episode...and some even ended sleeping in front of the laptop!heheheh...What can I say...it was unforgettable moments in our lives as we were so overwhelmed with the impact KIS brought to us.Because of that we named ourselves Malaysian KiSsers...why Malaysian?because there a lot more KISsers out there...mainly being Pinoy KiSsers...American KiSsers...Middle Eastern KISsers or better still...when we interact with each other...we like to call ourselves...Global KISsers...the list goes on and on....the impact was huge...and the most proud of all is the warm acceptance that Carmen Soo got from all of them including us...Malaysians.
Carmen Soo was soooo fantastic in the story!She mesmerized us with her ability to act as well as delivering her lines promptly even if she couldn't understand what her other co-actors was saying as the story was in 3 languages...Tagalog,English and Bahasa Malaysia.she was soo refreshing and truly made Malaysia proud by being a good ambassador in a foreign country.Being herself and truly a professional shows that she can give a lot more when given a chance.
Echo..well..is echo...he's truly a professional and made a great comeback tru this soap!He showed and proved that he's a great actor.

Ermm..where was I...Oh yeahh...Echo..Jericho Rosales...what can I say about him...he's the reason I'm sooo into Pinoy soaps anyway...he has this aura that always give me kinda a warm feeling everytime I watch him act or hear him sing...meeting him a few times still can't shake that feeling...all my encounters with him felt like meeting him for the first time...it's always special :D...don't get me wrong...it's not a crush...I'm a happily married woman...it's more of an amazement...amazed to what he did n what he can do...being Rocky again this time in KIS was always something to look forward to...When my friends and I met Carmen...echo was our main topic of conversation...she shared a few stories with us about echo and in return we shared our stories about him with her....and when she asked where were we when echo laid low from the tv scene and focused on his music back in 2006...we said that we were there all the way for him...we supported his music career and never look back!...I personally am proud to see him grown as an actor and a singer as well....n when finding out he was doing the KIS project...I said...Finally!!!He's giving back something fo his fans in Malaysia by personally being here and tell a Malaysian story as well a Pinoy story.Echo has really made us proud as well.
The story of Rocky and Garie has really brought joy to our lives...it was of course like a roller coaster but we enjoyed it nevertheless...:D...and oh yeah...hearing echo speaking in Bahasa Malaysia had me jumped for joy!!!I'm sure Malaysians will enjoy it also when they get to see KIS either this month or next month.
The story of Echo n Carmen...well...that's a different story all together...I know usually if echo is paired with any actress in a soap/movie...they will always be a story behind it.Being fresh from a broken relationship...people or may I say..the media in Pinas quick to link him to Carmen.Known for always being attracted to his co-stars...echo played a different card this time.He denies that he had fallen for Carmen and always defended that his relationship with Carmen is purely professional.However so...actions speaks louder than words echo!Whenever he's with Carmen...his face glow and he always blush everytime people tease him with Carmen.He's also suprisingly very2 energetic nowadays!He said that he was inspired!but by whom?he never did say but we do know that Carmen inspires him to work.In my opinion,Carmen is not his typical leading lady...as the result of having gone through soo much together and being foreign in each other home soil...they developed a ..what echo likes to call "A Special Friendship".They take care of each other when ever one of them will be away from home(echo in Malaysia n Carmen in Pinas).The time spend together I guess had made them very close.How close???well..time will tell.I for one am thrill to the idea that one day they will end up with each other but being realistic...I wouldn't want to speculate anything.Only they know their own feelings.
As for me...I'm still enjoying each day being a KISser and always support Echo n Carmen.Sana...both of them will find their true happiness...whatever or whomever it may be! :D
