Techie vamps and timeless diaries

I am taking a break from my “Vampire Diaries” marathon while writing this. I have decided to devote my weekend finishing season one of this TV series; and after tweeting much about this show for a week now, I just realized I’m addicted to it! Other vampire shows didn’t catch my attention over the past [...]

Glued on crime drama

Last weekend, I joined my mom in watching a TV series on Diva Universal entitled “Covert Affairs” and I got hooked on it. Reasons for being glued: I mistakenly identified Kari Matchett (Joan Campbell) as Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe of Friends). I just miss “Friends” and Kari really looks like Lisa. And so my dad goes [...]

Network Wars

Whenever I switch on the TV, I do not actually watch certain shows. I simply scan channels as if I am waiting for a jackpot combination on a slot machine until I reach interesting programs ranging from TLC’s Invite Mr. Wright to NatGeo’s Great Migrations. Sometimes, I still watch local news on primetime and some [...]

Adding Value to Ads

Let me list down three of the most attractive commercials on Philippine TV (according to my biased, superficial opinion). I know a lot of people have been talking about these commercials and it’s high time to take this opportunity to cling to their popularity. FIRST LOVE McDonald’s latest commercial (courtesy of DDB Philippines) gave me [...]

Waiting for Love

After watching a few episodes of the American drama What About Brian, I can officially say that I am hooked. It took me sometime before I discovered this TV series aired every Tuesday at Star World. The show’s main character is Brian portrayed by Barry Watson whom I looked up to as Matt Camden in [...]

Strategy

I can clearly remember the times when I enganged myself in a copycat version of Bruckheimer’s Amazing Race. The first was when we were in Botany class where we were like kids-gone-wild racing to identify scientific names of campus plants (how nerdy!). I thought being part of the race itself was hard, so in the [...]

Worth Watching

‘Friends’ is already obsolete, I don’t like the story of ‘The OC’ anymore, and I’m fed up with game shows. After my long search for new shows that would suit my taste, here are the top three series that luckily passed my unstable TV standards – Entourage, Heroes and The Starter Wife. Entourage (HBO) Fame: [...]

Torpe

Am I overdosed with romantic comedies and reality dating shows, reading romance novels, and listening to my friends’ romantic stories? Well, I think time will come that I shall stare at the mirror, point at myself and shout: “What a (cute) hopeless romantic!” Last Tuesday, I was entertained by Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet’s movie [...]

Clueless

Imagine this scenario: You are in deep sleep, then you are awakened by your shaking bed; an earthquake hits your area. You try to get up so you can run for your life, but you can’t. The earth’s drastic movement is getting stronger. Then, you look out the window and people are running for their [...]

Lupet pala!

Bago pa man ilipat ang ‘On-Air’ sa IBC ay sinusubaybayan ko na ito sa ABC. Dito ko nga nadiskubre na may isang kakatuwang programang tulad nito. Nawili ako sa panonood ng On-Air high school pa lamang ako. Ang host nito na si JM Rodriguez ay personal pang sumagot sa aking email dati; tinatanong ko siya [...]
