Ayon kay Dina Nietes Capistrano, 52 taong gulang na tubong Bicol region, isang malaking karangalan daw na siya ay mapili sa halos mahigit 500 pumasok sa casting. Nangyari daw ito noong nakatanggap ang kanyang amo na email upang siya daw ay ipagpaalam na kukuning artista sa pelikulang ”UN BONHEUR N'ARRIVE JAMAIS SEUL” (HAPPINESS NEVER COMES ALONE).  Sampung araw ang ginugol ni Dina sa mahigit dalawang buwan na shooting.

Graduate si Dina ng Communication Arts at bago siya nagtrbaho sa ibang bansa ay dati siyang leg woman sa isang agency sa Pilipinas, na ayon sa kanya "noon ako ang sumusundo at nagdadala sa mga artista, pero dito sa Paris ako ang sinusundo para sa shooting namin".

Nai-kuwento din niya ang pagtatrabaho sa Saudi Arabia at nang isama siya sa Paris ng kanyang amo ay nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataon na tumakas at sa Paris nag TNT siya ng sampung taon. Nasubukan din daw niya na ma-controlled ng awtoridad noong 2003 at pagkatapos ng interrogation ay pinalaya din siya.

Ibinahagi din ni Dina ang kanyang magagandang karanasan sa pagso-shooting nila ni Sophie Marceau, na napakabait at very supportive sa kanya, maging si Gad Elmaleh daw napabilib sa kanya at sinabihan pa siya na “Dina, you’re an actress”, Maging ang kanilang director na si James Huth, ay napapabilib niya dahil nagagawa daw niyang mag acting na wala sa script kahit siya ay hindi dumaan sa training. Nakakapgasalita daw siya ng Tagalog sa rule niya na Nanny ng mga anak ni Sophie Marceau sa pelikula. At higit sa lahat napakadali din daw niyang na-memorized ang kanyang script.

Maging ang mga child actor at actress ay na-attached na rin sa kanya, kaya kahit off the camera daw ay "Nana" (pangalan ni Dina sa pelikula) na rin tawag sa kanya.

Sa loob ng sampung araw ay kumita si Dina ng limang libong euros (275,000 Pesos). Ang kanyang kinita daw ay malaking tulong para pambayad nang kanyang utang at ang natira daw ay para sa kanyang mga anak sa Pilipinas.

Nakatulong din daw ng malaki ang pagkuha sa kanya ng Film Production Agency dahil siya ay pinagkalooban ng Permit to Stay na titulado sa pagtatrabaho ng Prefecture de Police. At pagkalipas nga ng sampung taon ay makakapag-bakasyon na siya Pilipinas upang makapiling ang kanyang dalawang anak na noon ay 10 at 9 na taon gulang pa lamang nang kanyang naiwan.

Sa ngayon ay may hawak siyang Health Care sa France na ang kanyang profession ay Comedian. At nangako ang kanyang Agency na sa tuwing kakailanganing cast or extra sa mga French film ay priority daw siya.

Ang isang magandang natutunan daw niya ay hindi hadlang ang pagiging Pinay Domestic Helper dahil kahit sa totoong buhay at mapa-pelikula ay hinahangaan ang kalidad ng Pinay DH.

It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines.  We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house.  Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch.  Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous.  It was time for some physical vacation activities.  Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan. 

Coron is remote.  We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea.  Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach.  The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves. 
 
Experienced painters are often confronted with the problem of what to do with their early works whose originally unnoticed flaws have become more obvious with the passage of time.

Some professionals suggest the slash-and-burn option which consists in carrying out literally what the words mean. One should get rid of anything that could blot one's otherwise brilliant portfolio. Some artists already held in high esteem find this a sensible solution to avoid damage to their reputation or a plunge in their market-value. But, in this age when the dividing line between mediocrity and excellence in art appears to be non-existent, this suggestion seems extreme.

The majority, of course, recommend keeping them as is. One should not be ashamed of one's humble beginnings. If anything, early works are testaments to the artist's hard-fought struggles to achieve perfection or fitting preludes to a story with a happy ending. This is fine as long as one is willing to be reminded constantly of one's previous mistakes.
