lou baron: maria urduja's inspiration and idol

As the official head of P.R. to Ms. Lou Baron's Timeless Entertainment Productions, Arts & Culture writer and socialite- in person of Ms. Maria Urduja Osit-Li- all the stress and the tensions were now going up to her nerves. She had to attend to a lot of meetings and other functions to her other P.R. jobs. And to add more burden, the shooting for the trailer of Timeless Films' first film project- Cordillera: Sa Dulo Ng Panahon was about to start in a month's time, too. Oh, my.

"Ma'm Lou Baron told me to enjoy as the moments last", Maria Urduja told a blogger in one intimate conversation. "You see, she knows I'm under a lot of stress lately. That's why as her boss and confidante, she's much concerned on me. I really appreciate that."

But with her brave spirit and outspoken personality, coupled-in with frankness and sincerity- Maria Urduja is one UNBEATABLE woman. Asked about what she could say about Ms. Lou Baron's two books- Scripted In Heaven and I Called Myself Cassandra-, the relevance of the meaning of her words went like this:

"First of all, I would like to say this before I answer your question", she told a blogger. "We all have a fear of ageing. Once upon a time in my life, I told myself: When I reached the age of 60 years old, I wanna die na. It seemed, I did not want to be a nuisance to anyone pa. But when I saw Ma'm Lou Baron in person and met her, I suddenly realized that one could accomplish far greater things in life even you're more than 60 years old already. Ma'm Lou Baron is a living example. Not just in physical looks, but also in her works and her duties as a celebrity.

"You know what, you have to evolve, eh", Maria Urduja continued saying. This is the first time I am experiencing many challenges in my life lately. And from hereon, I learned to be humble. And you could still be you aside from growing old.

"So, that's it- that's the relevance of Ma'm Lou's two novels and books on the lives of ordinary individuals like me", Maria Urduja concluded. "That you can still speak your mind and open-up your artistry even you're already above 60. Ms. Lou Baron is now my inspiration. She showed me the way. And let me tell you now, AGE IS JUST A NUMBER."

And that made Maria Urduja further move on. She's now busy having meetings with entertainment writers who're going to be a part of her P.R. team, attend to some details of her forthcoming shoot for the teaser of Timeless Films' first film, contact actors, production people and the likes. Hectic.

But Maria Urduja had never forgotten to tell- Lou Baron's two books Scripted In Heaven and I Called Myself Cassandra were both out in the market now. If you have online visa card, it could be read at the Amazon.Com viral link, but you could also read the two books on E-Book link for free.

"For those who don't have the money to buy it, Mam Lou had her books went viral", Maria Urduja said at last. "She doesn't care at all for the income of her books. She simply wants to share her heart and her mind."

Very well said, Maria Urduja.

ian taylor ignacio: a mixture of kindness, good looks and depth

Ian will play an Igorot in a forthcoming film

ian: oh, so charming

ian: depth and style equals IAN

IAN: BOYISH, TOO.

ian with blogger robert and ms. urduja osit-li

There's so much prestige when someone came from the theater scene. His movements are different, aggravating and lasting. His smiles, oh, so charming and nice. His eyes and stares- penetrating, ecstatic... loving. 

It's something fresh to look at. A new and handsome actor that could challenge you as a writer- to write something nice about him.

HIS NAME: IAN TAYLOR IGNACIO, son of veteran character actor Levy Ignacio.

"When my dad saw me act on theater, that's the time that I got his half-blessing for me to join the acting scene", Ian Taylor Ignacio started saying."He told me- O, sige, anak. Pumasok ka na. And that blessing from him made me lighten up the load."

And after those stints in the theater world, movie offers started coming in also. He blossomed into something more different. His training at the theater, under the guidance of great theater icon Tony Mabesa helped him a lot to be noticed.

"In Dulaang U.P.'s play King Lear, I portrayed the character of Edgar, the son of King Lear", Ian continued saying. "It's one of the most challenging roles that I've got in theater. I memorized my lines there in both Tagalog and English versions."

And now, accurately and precisely, Ian has been getting all the good breaks. And this time, at the movie scene.

He will soon portray the lead role for the movie Cordillera: Sa Dulo Ng Panahon, written by Ms. Maria Urduja Osit-Li and to be produced by Timeless Entertainment Productions of Ms. Lou Baron (the famous L.A.-based singer in Hollywood).

In the film Cordillera: Sa Dulo Ng Panahon, Ian will play the role of an Igorot warrior who will fall in love with the daughter of a Spanish friar. The movie is historical and wide in grandeur. As of press time, a great film director is being tapped to direct the film.

"I won't mind if I'll be identified wearing that bahag costume of the Igorots", Ian said again. "I would love to portray that character and I am so happy to be hired as the male lead of the film."

Shooting of the film will start early next year. But in a month's time, Ian and the rest of the staff of Timeless Entertainment will start to shoot the film's 3-minute trailer/teaser. And they will shoot it in Baguio City.

"They told me that I will be the one to pick my leading lady in this film", Ian said in the end. "I am thinking of Rhian Ramos or Jackie Rice. But whatever, whoever comes in as my leading lady, I will gladly embrace it and be thankful. It's all up to them."

Humble, nice, and a perfect gentleman. That's Ian Ignacio for you. And may he reach the farthest journey of his goal as an actor.

We're right behind you, Ian.
