ISANG mahusay na figure skater, maraming awards na ang nakamit ni Misha Fabian mula sa mga sinalihang sari-saring skating competitions sa iba’t ibang bansa.
Lahad ni Misha, “I’ve joined many competitions over the years, and each one has taught me valuable lessons.”
Ilan sa mga maituturing ni Misha na highlight ng kanyang karera bilang figure skater ay ang pagiging miyembro ng Philippine National Team (2015-2017) at pagsali sa 2012 Philippine Figure Skating Championships Basic Novice B na pumuwesto siyang 3rd placer; sa 2013/2014 Asian Junior Figure Skating Challenge (Hong Kong) Basic Novice B (2nd place); 2014 Korean Dream Program Closing Games Girls Intermediate (2nd place); bilang official Philippine delegate sa 2014 Korean Dream Program (2-week winter sports training camp and cultural exchange program in Pyeongchang, South Korea); bilang 1st placer sa 2015/2016 Asian Junior Figure Skating Challenge Basic Junior sa Hong Kong; bilang 2nd placer sa 2015/2016 Southeast Asian Trophy for Figure Skating Basic Junior Ladies at sa 2017/2018 Southeast Asian Trophy for Figure Skating Elite Junior Ladies; 2019 at bilang representative at pinakaunang Filipinong atleta sa 2022 Winter Universiade.
Kuwento ni Misha, “My first time skating was when I was 6 years old. It was during a classmate’s birthday party, and it was love from the first time I stepped on the ice!
“I begged my parents for lessons, but I got sick and couldn’t skate. I was finally able to skate recreationally when I was 10, and I joined a few local competitions. I started competing internationally at 15.”
Isa ring theater actress si Misha, kabilang siya sa cast ng musical play na Rent bilang si Ally.
Paano at kailan siya nagkainteres sa theater?
“My parents introduced me to the theater. They brought me with them to New York when I was 2, and they took me to watch ‘Beauty and The Beast’ on Broadway.
“It’s been an interest of mine ever since. My dad also loves to sing musical theater songs, and I grew up hearing him sing songs like ‘This Is The Moment,’ ‘Seasons of Love’ and ‘Bui Doi.’
Ano na ang mga nagawa niyang plays at ano ang mga naging papel niya?
“I was part of Ateneo Blue Repertory during my junior and senior years of university. I played Mimi in ‘Rent’ in 2018, and Caroline in ‘Theory of Relativity’ in 2019.”
Napanood na ni Misha ang play na Rent. Paano siya naka-relate sa role niya bilang Ally? Paano siya napasali sa cast?
“Rent is one of my favorite musicals,” bulalas ni Misha. “Ally has grit and a drive to survive, and I think I relate with her there.
