Soap Opera, anyone???

I have been subscribing to ABS-CBN now for several months now. I look into the news and current affairs( esp Pipol), the singing contests (Little Big Star) and syempre tsismis. The soap opera's??? Well, let's just say, they're at the bottom of my list and I have never gotten to them.....yet. That was before I went home for a vacation. Of course when I went home, both my mom and my mother-in-law were tuned to..guess...soaps! I got sucked into the last few days of Jewel in the Palace. Tell you the truth, I'd much rather watch Bubble Gang's version - Jowa in the Palace". However, "Bituing Wlang Ningning" held my interest. It could be because I got to watch it almost everyday, whatever. All I know is last night, I spent 3 hours watching current episodes culminating with Lavinia's (Angelika dela Cruz) famous line, that is "You're nothing but a second rate, trying hard, copycat!" Ha! Most surprising is that I got really excited and carried away, can't wait to see the next episode!

I don't remember half the cast, heck I don't really remeber the details of the movie anymore. I've actually mistaken the theme song for "Bukas Luluhod ang mga Tala". Not a Sharon fan, no?

By the way, Angelika's "new chin" made her look like Jessa Zaragosa. And Sarah's (Dorina)acting still needs to be honed. Zsa-Zsa's (Rosa Mia) voice, I realize now is really good even when she kept singing "Dito Ba" while singing in a despicable, cheap bar/lounge. Bagay di ba????

So it's saturday evening ang nothing interesting on TV. I might as well watch "U can Dance", a "Dancing with the Stars" copycat. Nene kept getting raves, I just don't see why. Maybe Alma was right (or was it Maribeth?), what we see on tv isn't the same as what they actually see in the studio. Yeah, whatever.

I can't believe I have to pay $30 for Pacquio's fight!
