On Being a Guest on a TV Show

My dad and I were invited to sit in a local cable show Conversation with Carol to talk about my latest book Subic: A Sailor's Memoir.

There were only a few people during the taping; however, when the camera started rolling--I got super nervous! I could hear my own voice cracking, and I felt a little uneasy, especially when the bright spotlight was shinning on me--it did not only distract my line of thoughts but also did make me a little conscious about my looks.

I guess I'm camera shy after all.

Anyway, to give justice to this experience, I felt a bit of celebrity to be on TV.
