Be forwarned.

The greatest calamity in this world is about to happen.

Two women dropped by my office one day and said, “Bo, we’re thinking of putting you on TV.”

“On TV? Uh...should I sit or stand on it?” I inquired. "No, no, no,” they groaned, “You’ll appear in a program!”

I quickly sobered up, nodded my head and answered grimly, “I’ll do it on two conditions.”

Both of them got exited, “Yes”

“The first, I’ll only do it if it’s a dramatic love story. And second, I’ll be able to choose who my leading lady will be.”

One of them broke in, "Sorry Bo, but it’s nothing like that. We want you to lead a prayer meeting on the air.”

I decided to bargain, “Okay, okay, I’ll settle for comedy. But there should be a love-interest angle.”

When I later realized that one of the women in front of me was a famous Famas-awardee scriptwriter, I almost had a heart attack. These people were serious!

I’ll not go into detail how they finally convinced me, (Or someone may change them with illegal possession of firearms).

Here are the reasons why I’m going to appear on TV:

I’ll fulfill my long-time dream to say, “Hi Mom! I’m on TV!”

The world is using TV as its pulpit to preach its king of gospel. I don’t want them to have all the fun. If  TV’s a pulpit, then Catholics should use it.

Of course, some nice Director might just discover me and finally put me in a dramatic romantic movie, and pair off me with a beautiful leading lady.

I know what you’re thinking: I’m an incurable romantic. Actually God is the ultimate Valentino.

He loves you.

Whether it’s serving a poor child on the streets, giving him a piece of bread, a smile, a warm hug, my message will still remain the same.

He wants to be your leading man forever.

Whether it’s whispering to one person or shouting from the rooftops, broadcasting through the air, I will not stop... God is incurably romantic.

Love Him back. Say “Yes.” Choose with your heart. He’s yours.
