“Nandito Ako” Starring David Archuleta as Josh Bradley Airs Today!

Posted by Angelica on Monday, February 20, 2012

First I just want to say, “Welcome Home David Archuleta” and welcome home Kari too!  I enjoyed their stay in the Philippines almost as much as they did, but it’s good to know they are safely on the ground and in the bosom of their families again.

Second, today is the debut of the first installment of Nandito Ako.  There is a live stream here, God willing and the stream don‘t fail to rise to the occasion.  After weeks of TV5′s whipping his fans into a frenzy all over the world, there had better be.  If not, there will be a reckoning and I reckon you all know what I mean by that.  If you think there was weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Nandito Ako trailers, you ain’t seen nothing yet.  Hell nor any woman hath no fury like a person with ODD scorned.

We will not be denied.  We have a personal invitation from the man himself.

I need the Emo-David.  I need the bunny.  I need the hair pulling, the right hook, the head whacking, getting locked in a room and thrown out of the house along with all the pushing, shoving and over-the-top melodrama.  And I need the melody of Nandito Ako sung by the Voice and the tender love scenes between Josh, Anya, and Holly.  I need to cry with him and I need a happy ending with a smiling David..er, Josh.  I need it all and I need it now.  Not because I care about soap operas, but because I care about him and this endeavor we have lived vicariously through for weeks.  So proud of him and his willingness to try what he didn’t know he could do, and see him exceed all expectations time and time again.  I need to be there.  This is my prayer.

Prayers also from The Voice for David on the loss of his Great Grandmamma, Isabel, and for all the family and a very Happy 13th Birthday to his little sister, Amber.

David Archuleta Launches New Clothing and Hair Product Lines!

Singer/songwriter, best-selling Author, Humanitarian and Actor, David Archuleta can now add Endorser for clothing and hair products line to his resume.  Just a few hours ago at a musical fashion show at The Trinoma Activity Center in The Philippines, David launched both a new clothing line for Bench Clothing and a new hair products line for Fix Professional Hair Styling Products.

A huge thank you to Norms, who was able to make a Ustream available for the fans back home.  After an impressive slide show on a large screen, in which David modeled Bench fashions, he sang five songs, “Nandito Ako”, “Touch My Hand”, the “Good Place/Let It Be” medley, “Crush” and then “A Thousand Miles” after the fans chanted “one more song!”.

David carried the entire concert portion of the show himself and the emotional connection he has with the fans was palpable.  There even seemed to be an element of  farewell and appreciation, in my humble opinion.  Maybe you’ll agree if we’re lucky enough to see the performances on youtube.

“Nandito Ako” trailer – What Are Your Favorite Parts? ~ David Archuleta

Posted by bebereader on Friday, February 10, 2012

Since the trailer for “Nandito Ako” was released several days ago I’ve watched it more times that I care to admit. I’m mesmerized by the fast pace, the Tagalog language, the intriguing storyline and mostly by seeing David in his first serious acting role. Staff Writer Betsy, casually asked me what my favorite part of the trailer was. It wasn’t a difficult question but it’s hard to choose  just one so I came up with a few.

1.  The restaurant scene. Josh and Holly are sitting at a table and Josh tells Holly that she can speak in Filipino if she wants. Holly then asks Josh if he understands it. Josh makes a cute sound like “oh uh”. Holly, with a big smile, tells Josh that he is amazing.

2.  Josh sings “Nandito Ako” outdoors with a few of the members of the cast around him.  I can’t get this melodious song out of my head.

3. “You get out of my house! You get out of my house!”, Holly’s mother screams at Josh, who retorts “Let me explain!”

I could go on and on but now it’s your turn. :)

Thanks Betsy, for the inspiration. :)

On the Beach with David Archuleta ~ Final Week of Taping Nandito Ako

Posted by Angelica on Sunday, January 29, 2012

The final week of Nandito Ako finds the actors tweeting on the move, headed for the resort town of Batangas, about 3 hours from Manilla. Beach scenes FTW! This should be a very interesting week for David and company. Will he wear beach attire? Will he sing to his love as he strolls on the sand? Stay tuned this week for the final episode of: On the Set of the Bold and  Beautiful, Young at Heart and Still Restless, All My Chillin’ Fans of Nandito Ako.

MyDear Writer

Getting ready for Day 11. Looks like we will sleep after Valentine’s Day. Or maybe after the airing of the first episode. We ♥ #NanditoAko ☺

Advisory: 21 days to prepare the lungs, the vocal chords, the eyes & the ♥HEART♥. A glass of water may come in handy. ☺

Road trip. ☺

I didn’t know that a ‘possible’ shirtless scene would stir such interest…. Hmmmm…. Cliffhanger! ☺

Note to self: Insert new scene. Description: more skin. Wardrobe: not needed. Props: sun block lotion ONLY. ☀☺

Oppss. That last tweet was for my other script. Was just thinking aloud. ☺

Seriously- u can’t expect shirt & jeans in a beach scene come on! And the story is set in a tropical country- the possibilities are endless!

Sunrise. Rice fields. Perfect. ☺

Magic hour. ♥

Anything could happen. Even… :)

I kissed a dolphin and liked it. Ready to up my game. haha.

@MyDearWriter ~ Scenes of @DavidArchie We’d Love to See

Posted by Angelica on Friday, January 27, 2012

Submitted by PaulaFOD

@MyDearWriter, the writer of the movie Nandito Ako, has had some interesting tweets lately.  We’re getting hints…sort of…that keep us guessing what Josh (aka David) will do in the movie.  So it got me thinking…if I was the writer, what kind of scene would I write for David?

There would be close-ups, lots of close-ups, and that look…..you know that look he gave the girl at the end of the Crush video?  THAT look..yeah, the smiling, flirty, the “I can see into your soul” look.  Hmmm…what else?  He would sing (of course he would sing!) something soft and sweet to the leading lady.  He’s the hero, the guy that sweeps the girl off her feet with his charm, his honor and integrity, and his smile.  So, maybe it would go like this:

The sky is overcast (great lighting for those lovely hazel eyes).  David is walking toward a street corner in the city, singing “My Kind of Perfect”…the leading lady is walking toward the same street corner from the opposite direction. “is she the one, is it today, will I turn the corner, see my future in a beautiful face?”  As they each round the corner, they nearly run into each other.  They stop, David apologizes. She smiles, he smiles…they say goodbye, walk past each other around the corner. David is singing again; they both stop, turn around, walking to the street corner again….each hoping to sneak a glimpse of the other.  They peek around the corner at the same time…face to face…David is singing “maybeeeee”….ah, I love happy endings!

So, what kind of scene would you write for David?

David Archuleta ~ I Am Here

Posted by bebereader on Wednesday, January 18, 2012

Do you dare step away from your computer to do something menial like oh…eat, sleep or pay a bill without feeling that you might miss something? Do you keep refreshing every minute so as not to miss a tweet? Do you feel compelled to stay in constant touch with what David is doing in The Philippines? I think it’s safe to say that we are drowning in news but that is not a complaint. He is embracing acting, the newest endeavor in his life. I’m not at all surprised that he’s loving it. From the beginning we knew that he had a natural acting  ability. It was only a matter of time before it could happen. I’m amazed and beyond thrilled at how relaxed he is.

So relaxed that director Mac Alejandre had this to say about him:

“David is such a delight to work with. He knows what’s expected of him. And he’s a perfectionist. Siya mismo ang gustong umulit ng eksena [He offers to do a scene over] if he feels he can do more. If only he could stay here longer, it would be great to do a movie with him. For a first-time actor, he’s a natural.”

I remember several months ago when I read the first rumblings on Twitter about David doing a miniseries in The Philippines. For the most part, the tweets from fans there were negative. Overjoyed at the prospect of having David come there again but not so much for a soap opera type miniseries. Perhaps soaps aren’t the most revered type of TV fare but why do I know that this one will be different? Maybe because I know that David only gets involved in things with positive messages. We don’t know the entire plot of “Nandito Ako“,  but I have every faith that we won’t be disappointed

We are blessed with a treasure trove of memorable projects before his mission: an English version of “Nandito Ako” called “Forever With You”, a rumored Valentine concert in Singapore and a five-week TV series including a concert scene to warm our hearts. Add to this, an appearance on Saturday on a TV show called “Will Time Big Time”.

The U.S. entertainment industry is clearly missing out on a gem of an entertainer, so versatile that everything he takes on turns out to be ridiculously amazing. He’s like the best guarded secret that will one day be impossible to ignore.
