I haven’t been watching that much these past few days. That’s why you’ve been seeing no updates for several days now. I am reading news, though. Let me give you a run down of what I have read about the local teleseryes so far:
Tayong Dalawa of ABS-CBN starring Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca remains to be the teleserye to beat these days. It premiered last January 19 and reportedly got a 36% ratings. Impressive! I heard that it’s fast paced and that if you miss an episode, you’d feel like you missed a lot.
Eva Fonda, that overly sexed teleserye, will end pretty soon. If I am not mistaken, by next Friday already. It will be replaced with May Bukas Pa. I just noticed based on the teasers that ABS-CBN shows that Cristine Reyes is a far better in acting than her sister, Ara Mina. She shows more emotions than her sister. One thing I can say about the teleserye is that a number of parents will be happy once it’s over. I heard that a lot of parents are complaining about the explicit sexual content of each episode. Oh well, ABS-CBN and GMA-7 will stoop to anything just to sell their shows. Even air shows inappropriate for primetime viewing!
A Marian Rivera-Dingdong Dantes teleserye will be airing by February 2, Monday. Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang. I’m sure it will be full of love scenes because these two can only sell a teleserye if they do each other on air. Wala ka namang mapapala sa kanila other than that.
That Betty La Fea teleserye of Bea Alonzo is waaaaay too corny! You know what? Bea in that series is not ugly. She’s just plain baduy! Get rid of the ridiculous glasses (who still wear those kind anyway??), the braces, make her speak properly and you will have a pretty tisay! She’s prettier than Pops Fernandez who is trying hard to be a contravida in that series.
Regine Velasquez finally realized that her age is totally inappropriate for a guy like Mark Anthony Fernandez. Remember Kim Sam Soon where she played the object of Mark Anthony’s affections? She looked like his aunt, swear! Now, she will be playing Robin Padilla’s leading lady in Totoy Bato, a soon to be aired teleserye in GMA-7.
So far, that’s the only news I’ve read and been hearing about. I will update you more about the local shows in my new few posts.

I miss the old Avril Lavigne. The one full of angst. The one who sings about Skater Boi. I love her songs before Girlfriend. I love the emo music. The angst in each song… that’s something that I used to fill my head with.
When You’re Gone is my favorite among her songs of the past. Here’s a video of When You’re Gone…
I totally miss the goth-looking Avril of the past!
Since I am a couch potato, you can just imagine how much calories I do not burn because I am sitting almost all the time. I watch tv, blog, do some other thing, chat with my cousin abroad, catch up with friends online and so on. I get distracted if I stand up and away from my couch for long periods of time. So instead of exercise, I guess I should just get some diet pills to help me lose weight. Or a week off my couch, perhaps?

This brings the lols…
Rustom before
In between Rustom and BB *lol
The “new” Rustom: BB
Have you seen the “new” Rustom Padilla??? He was interviewed in the evening news programs last night and the video below is from GMA-7.
Rustom is now BB Padilla! Gone is the Rustom that we all knew back then, the one who married Carmina Villaruel, the more handsome brother of Robin Padilla the action star. He is now a she. In his own words, patay na si Rustom! Hahaha

*** UPDATED! ***
Lisa Ono will be performing at the PICC on February 28, 2009. Her show is entitled: Lisa Ono, Queen of Bossa Nova Live in Manila.
******************
Oh yes, Lisa Ono is coming to Manila for a concert!
One of my favorite singers is Lisa Ono. She is a popular Japanese bossa nova singer. Even before those other bossa nova artists came out, she has a separate playlist in my player.
I will post the details here within a day or two. I just heard it a few seconds ago at 106.7 Dream FM.
I watched last night’s American Idol Season 8 2-hour premiere telecast and the second episode today. And here are my thoughts:
I love Simon Cowell’s facial expressions! And his comments are still the best, even the mean ones! Hahaha
Paula Abdul is still stuttering like a crazy old fool!
Randy Jackson is sooo funny, especially when he’s trying so hard not to laugh.
The new judge, Kara DioGuardi, is trying soooo damn hard. You can tell with her expressions. I don’t like her at all. Paula’s stuttering and senseless comments are still way better than this new one’s trying hard comments.
The Bikini Girl is a cheap act! That includes Ryan Seacrest receiving that kiss from her. Yuck!
And Kara entertaining the cheap taunt from the bikini girl is equally cheap.
Some of those rejects are planted, in my opinion. You know, to make the show a bit more interesting.
I like that one who sang Vanessa Carlton’s A Thousand Miles. She has an amazing voice!
That brother of Jason Castro is waaaay too cocky! He might have a better voice than his brother but his attitude is more hard to stomach.
Did you watch/Are you watching Americal Idol Season 8?
I switched channels. Wwe are watching TV Patrol in ABS-CBN but then the report was about that icky Pinoy Dream Academy overacting singer-wannabe/winner so I told my sister to change the channel to GMA-7. Mel Tiangco of 24 Oras was interviewing ex-president Joseph Estrada about the passing of his mom, Dona Mary and at one point she asked this overly STUPID question… “Ngayong namatay na ang mama mo, Mr. Estrada, napaiyak ka ba? (Now that your mother passed away, Mr. Estrada, did you shed a tear?)…
Is that a stooooopid question or what??? Your mom died. The one person you consider as your inspiration and strength, the one you are very vocal about the respect you had of her. Did you cry???????
If that is not a ridiculously stupid question, I don’t know what is!
Some people are not afraid to flaunt their bodies. Some come off as vulgar, even talking about private matters like vaginal dryness and all that. Some come off as funny.
One of the local actresses here, Rufa Mae Quinto, always dresses as if she was short on budget that’s why her dress is so tiny. Her breasts are always spilling over her top. Her legs are exposed all the time. I feel like she’s an exhibitionist already. I mean, you don’t see her in any clothes except those that exposes her body. She doesn’t leave anything to the imagination anymore. And she looks cheap most of the time.
