Georgia On My Mind

Nong Boy Castillo & I are not talking about the song nor about the Empire State of the South in the U.S. of A. 

We are talking about the gorgeous Georgia Jauslin whose breathtaking blend of Filipino & European progeny is tempered with substance and pragmatism.

The beautiful AND brainy Georgia Jauslin has been getting a lot of attention lately especially in cyberspace for she is one of the hottest contenders in the ongoing worldwide search for The SWISS Explorer  

So who is Georgia Jauslin? She is the classy and well- mannered lady who would always have Bohol in her heart for it was here in our beautiful island paradise that she spent her growing up years and early education. She embodies the modern- day girl who is free spirited, nonchalant, independent- minded and who speaks her mind out.

This 23 year old is no airhead. She graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing and Entrepreneurship, Cum Laude, from the University of San Carlos, Cebu City.

Her natural flair for languages that includes English, German, Swiss- German and Filipino plus her talent for marketing, communication and writing landed her a job with Alliance Française de Cebu.  

Right now, she is presently based in Zurich, Switzerland and enjoys her life as a freelance writer and lives live to the fullest.

Aside from getting the lead role of a yet-to- be released American film, “A Faraway Life”, she was also selected for “IN THE TUB” portrait book, volume 2, part of a global campaign on breast cancer research.

I got a chance to check out her interview in Zee Style’s glossy April 2013 issue where she was asked how she sees herself five years from now, Georgia says:

 “In five years, I see myself as a true world citizen – someone who has traveled the world; an enriched soul who has gained a deeper understanding of the things that truly matter.

I see myself as a successful writer, someone flourishing in the artistic field, even if these days, it is the road less traveled.”

With your help, Georgia just might realize that vision in less than a year.

How I Got My First Indie Film Role

A FARAWAY LIFE

It was the summer of 2008

I was contacted through email by GMA7 to assist in the audition & screening for local talent who were interested to appear in an indie film produced by famed American photographer Tim Fitzharris and wife Joy. 

Since the film was originally intended for U.S. release, facility with the English language was very important.

Anyway, the last role to be cast was for the character of Temyo, a good- for- nothing gambler and gun smuggler. Tim was already frantic for they were already a few days behind schedule and even if they had auditioned quite a number of men, he still couldn’t find his Temyo    

By the end of the day, Tim, who was already exasperated at this point, called my attention. He asked if I had any acting experience or if I had performed onstage.

Confidently, I told him that I had appeared in two ABS CBN productions already back in 2005. Both had speaking parts.

The first was Maalaala Mo Kaya where I appeared in the “Resort” episode and the second was for the role of Haring Kabugto in the fantaserye “Ang Panday” topbilled by Jericho Rosales and Heart Evangelista.

Although the part was short- lived (I was to die after a few episodes and in fact, we had to shoot first my death scene)we had so much fun and it was an entirely different experience for me

Anyway, back to Tim Fitzharris. 

When he found out that I had some acting experience already, he asked me if I was interested to audition for the role of Temyo. 

Well, I was not the type to dilly- dally when an opportunity presents itself so I said YES and the rest was history

The auditions were done at the MetroCentre Hotel. 

The film which had a two- month shooting schedule was to be shot in its entirety in Bohol.  

Among the local talents who appeared in the film were:

Georgia Jauslin

Meljun Daniel

Chanisse Bojo

Sophia Bacor

Disis Yap- Alba

Neil Sandidge

Joross Gamboa

Cesar Montano

Gorgeous Georgia

She is considered as one of the most beautiful Boholanas ever. The impossibly perfect cheekbones. The mesmerizing doe eyes. The full lips and the waif- like physique. 

The opportunities are endless for this ravishing beauty. Who is she?

She is Georgia Jauslin. 

We actually got acquainted a few years back when she was chosen as lead star for an independent film to be released in the US and the Philippines. 

She is Swiss-German-Filipino and born in Germany and moved to the Philippines when she was 8 years old. 

As lead star of A Far Away Life

BEAUTY WITH BRAINS

Good luck Georgia!
