LIKE many artists, Myrtle Sarrosa revealed that it took some time for her to adjust to the new normal amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The actress said she was worried too for a time, having no work coming in, but then she knew she had to adapt to change.
“May part of me na sobrang worried na, when the pandemic started. I think three months na wala talagang trabaho. Tapos naiisip ko na din ‘yung future. Sabi nga nila you have to find opportunities in crisis. So we bring our talents online and this is another opportunity for us to make other people happy.”
She said the challenge to do work at home has made her discover new ideas and explore things about herself.
“Dito na-hone ‘yung skills ko as a host and as an artist. Ito ‘yung panahon na dapat jack of all trades ka, so nama-maximize mo ‘yung talents and skills mo. You have to not do just one thing but do everything else. Kasi mag-isa ka lang sa bahay tapos kailangan mo mag-live. And everything via Zoom. Actually nag-eejoy ako. Na-realize ko ang dami ko pala equipment sa bahay, na pwedeng gamitin and create content. ‘Yung ganitong panahon na-eexplore mo ‘yung ibang bagay na ‘di mo dati nagagawa kasi madalas nasa labas ka, nasa set ka lang and focus on your script. Ngayon naman parang nasa bahay ka, you yourself produce your content then go on camera,” she shared.(Push)
