Another day, another webisode.  This time, I took you all the way up, up, up to the skyline of New York city.  This is a special webisode that gives you a fantastic view of New York city hundreds of feet above ground at the rooftop of New York Athletic Club or NYAC for short.  The NYAC is a ritzy club that boasts of Olympic champions in its roster.  It is an exclusive members only club.  I was able to gain entry due to Film Annex and their membership privileges.  Some elevators even have a dress code.  You can’t ride certain elevators if you’re wearing the improper attire.  That’s how strict this place is.  For goodness sake, elevators here are more posh than some establishments I know.  Haha!

When I got to the rooftop, it was breathtaking.  The view is really beautiful.  I can see the expanse of central park.  Moreover, I saw the high-rise buildings of New York City surrounding the quaint central park.  That is what made the Big Apple famous, the relaxing and beautiful Central Park amidst the hard and concrete jungle that is New York.  Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, Central Park is your haven.

Check out my webisode below and see for yourself the majestic view the New York Athletic Club has to offer.   However, due to the insistent request of my film crew at Film Annex, I have to speak in my native language, which is Tagalog, the official language of my Filipino people.  The first part is in English though.  I think they are just curious to hear my language.  Haha!   Happy viewing!

Sometime in July, I was booked to do a cover shoot for Stitches Magazine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  When I got to the place, I was amazed.  The residential penthouse where we’re shooting is breathtaking and the view is spectacular.  I actually saw the horizon of New Jersey from Pennsylvania.  Upon entering the apartment, I felt like walking into a museum.  Everywhere I looked, I saw art pieces that only true art lovers would appreciate.  The owner, whom they wouldn’t tell us who, is a very rich and couple.  The apartment is furnished with top of the line furniture and fixtures.  I was fascinated with the house that I took photos in between shoots.  Below are some of the photos I have taken:

The house even has an art piece that depicts the holocaust.  If you would look real close, you can see that on the tiny shoes, there are nails protruding.  It is a reminder of the cruelty during the holocaust time.

I had so much photos of the place but there was one room that I forgot to take a photo of–it was the room wherein it has Elton John’s furniture. Yes, that’s right, Elton John.  The couple apparently bought Elton John’s old furniture.  And what was extremely funny is that when the stylist opened the closet, we all saw a sink and a faucet inside.  It’s weird enough to see a sink and a faucet inside a clothing closet, but what’s funnier is that the faucet is actually shaped like a man’s testicles with the faucet representing as the man’s thing.  We all had a good laugh.  So all you people out there debating whether Elton John is gay, here’s the proof.

I had so much more stuff to tell you about my adventures and about the shoot itself.  So just tune in to my webTV below to find out more.  Ciao!

Heyo guys! I have my very own web TV found here. I have some webisodes up already and I just filmed another one a few days ago. It all started sometime in July when my agency, Major Model Management NY, sent me to a casting at Film Annex. I thought it was just for us models to practice in front of a video camera and for agency purposes. My agency informed me that upon casting, I should be prepared and say something about myself and stuff like that. I was EXTREMELY EXTREMELY nervous. In all my years as a model, video is my least favorite. As much as I love the still camera and love posing in front of it, I really dislike video cameras. It just freezes me and makes me stutter and feels awkward. Haha. I move around a lot and am very fidgety. You can check my casting video here entitled “Ana Sideco”. I cannot copy the video here coz the embed script is missing. If you don’t understand embed script, it’s just some techie stuff for the website which allows you to copy videos off of another site. You have to pardon me for that. I’m a geek! Haha!

Anyway, I think there’s something in me that Film Annex quite liked that they contacted me again to set up my very own web TV. So voila! My very own ANA SIDECO WEB TV. Below is the video of the most recent one I had entitled “Walking the Highline”.

If you compare my very first video versus this one, you can greatly see the improvement. I am more relaxed and less rigid in the latest webisode. Doing something over and over again really does wonders. I feel more comfy now in front of the video camera. Practice indeed makes perfect! I love doing my webisodes. Especially now since we started doing location shoots. We started with studio shooting first then we progressed into shooting outside. I am specifically excited since it is fall season and the city is just amazing during this time, not to mention that at least now I have a reason to wear my coats and scarves haha! Actually during the shooting of this webisode, we shot it in New York’s elevated park called the Highline. And as we were wrapping up our shoot, we saw the actual taping of Gossip Girl’s season 4. Ooooh! Talk about starstruck haha. But I only saw Blair, Chuck and Jenny.

Tune in to my webisodes at webtvs.filmannex.com/ana-sideco. Thank you. Ciao!
