Back to Reality

Posted on February 26, 2007 by Yoshke in TV | 3 Comments

Status: Really Excited Music: Trying to Get the Feeling Again – Christian Bautista Hoorah! Finally, I’ll enjoy being a couch-potato again. My top 3 favourite reality shows are back! And there’s nothing that can get between my eyes and the television set or whoever stupid enough to do that will experience my wrath. AMERICAN IDOL Let’s start with the most popular of all, American Idol. I find it really, really strange that in their first studio episode, I found myself … →

My Cable Provider is sooooo European

Posted on February 21, 2007 by Yoshke in Rants, TV | 2 Comments

Status: Annoyed Music: Just so You Know – Jesse McCartney Here’s the thing. Bumming around is not that good after all — especially when a certified couch potato like me gradually grows tired of staying in front of the television just because my freakin’ cable provider gives me a really weird channel selection. There are more trashy channels than the ones I find useful and entertaining. And they change channel assignments without giving us any notice at all. In the … →

Burning Endlessly Bright

Status: In awe again. Music: Making Love Out of Nothing at All – Sarah Geronimo This was Sarah Geronimo‘s breathtaking performance on ASAP ’07 two weeks ago that received a standing ovation and gave me the longest series of goosebumps I’ve experienced since I watched the film The Devil Wears Prada. I never really liked Air Supply‘s Making Love Out of Nothing at All until Sarah came up with this very powerful version. This clip has been very popular in … →

And the Oscar Might Go to…

Status: Excited Music: Be Without You – Mary J. Blige It’s awards season once again. And after the Grammy and the Golden Globe, here comes the Oscars. The Oscars remains to be my favourite award-giving body because the people and films that I want to win usually grab the major awards. For example, last year, when everyone was rooting for Brokeback Mountain, I was confident that it would be Crash which would bag the Best Picture award. (My next favourite … →

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin-Eater…

Status: Delighted Music: Always Be My Baby – Mariah Carey Dohna, Peter, and Asta in Matabungkay, Batangas If there was only one thing that I would never forget about the six-week English camp, that would be the friendship I had with Peter. Peter, or Lee Jeong-Hoon was the brightest kid in that camp. He was consistently the top student. And he was incredibly close to me both physically and emotionally. And right now, of all the students we had in … →

Gone Berserk

Status: Berserk Music: Be Without You – Mary J. Blige I’ve just arrived from the six-week camp I joined since January 3. It was so fun, yes. But to tell you the truth, it was oh-so-painful, too. After loving and being loved by the kids we were with, parting time was something I dreaded. Until now, it pains me. I really have some attachment problems that I really need to do something about. Anyway, I would love to write about … →

Civilisation at Last

Status: Freezing and Starving. Music: Irreplaceable – Beyonce Yeeha! I’m back in the civilised world at last! I terribly missed the polluted air, the congested streets, the irritating noise, and the violent jolt of cosmopolitan Manila. Whew. I’m back! But not for long. Tomorrow morning, off to Matabungkay Beach Resort in Batangas again. In case you didn’t know, I didn’t spend my entire January at a resort just to have fun. It’s work, baby. Work. Damn. I missed Manila so … →
