MTV VJ Hunt 2005
Originally uploaded by Ayan.

It was definitely one hell of a crazy day at mega mall yesterday as 200 plus goodlooking and very articulate young individuals went and tried their luck at this year's MTV VJ Hunt Manila Leg.

The search started and stopped in different key locations in the Philippines like Iloilo, Cebu, and yesterday Manila and next Pampanga. Familiar people from the industry flocked the gates of mega mall as early as 8AM to get ahead in the line for the search for the next video jock for MTV Asia following the steps of MTV VJs Johan Ekedum, Patty Laurel, KC Montero, Sarah Meier, Marc Abaya, Cindy Kurleto, and those that came before them—Donita Rose, Mike Kasem, Nadya Hutagalung, Regine Tolentino, Belinda Panelo, Shannen Torres, and Francis M., among others—through the original VJ search.

VJs from MTV hosted the show that lasted until the wee hours of the night as applicants continue to register for the search. I got to SM Mega Mall around 3PM with my friend who used to work for Magic 89.9 and got listed with number 131 and 132 respectively. We were given a spiel to memorize and got ready to go up on stage and introduce ourselves and introduce the next video plus ask people to vote for us by texting in vj Manila plus the number of the auditionee and sending it to 234 for Smart subscribers.

It was definitely a fun and a learning experience for everyone. I didn't know how hard it was to be a VJ and talk in front of the camera until I got my chance. We'll we didn't get in but I'm happy for those who did. Who knows maybe 2 years from now I'll try my luck again and probably get it by then.

P.S.
If you happen to have Smart please vote for me as MTV VJ of the day by texting
