My nephew is at that stage where he already has his list of favorite programs on TV. He enjoys watching Mr. Bean, Tom & Jerry, Thomas & Friends and several Disney movies (he even likes Tangled!). The difference with being a kid these days and being a kid from back in my day is that […]
After enjoying Shondaland programs such as Greys Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, I had high expectations for The Catch. About a private investigator who falls in love with a con man (who eventually cons her out of her own money), the show has elements of a procedural, the glamour/fashion of Scandal […]
Dear Zalora: I love you because of all the things I can buy on your site. I hate you precisely because of all the things I can buy on your site. I love you because it is so easy to purchase items on your site. I hate you because you make it so easy for […]
If you’ve read my previous post on Lady Midnight, you’d already know that I am a big fan of the Shadow Hunters series by Cassandra Clare. I’ve read the books and I’ve even seen the movie starring Lily Collins. When I found out that the books were going to be turned into a TV series, […]
Last month, I visited the National Museum for the first time in…I don’t know…20 years? My last visit was when I was in college in the mid 90s. That is such a long time ago! To be honest, I hardly remember what the museum looked like during my last visit. I just remember it as […]
What would you do if you were in your 40s and you had to start over? How would you play it? I’m sure pretending (and living like) you were 26 again was not one of the ideas that came to mind. That, however, is what the TV show Younger is all about. A recently-divorced woman […]
Late last year I wanted a Smart TV. I wanted a TV that I could watch online videos with but I also did not want to pay for what the top brands we offering because they were not in my budget. I found a Hisense TV that offered the features of a Smart TV at […]
A little bit of trivia about me: I am a fan of the Shadowhunters books. I was a little late to the party: I read the Mortal Instruments series one after the other only after the last book, The City of Heavenly Fire, was released. When I found out that a new book, Lady Midnight, […]
Around 10 (gasp!) years ago I went to a Side A gig in Makati and was able to meet and talk to their bass player and songwriter, Joey Benin. At the time I had aspirations of being a songwriter myself so having a discussion with him about my dreams and having his encouragement meant a […]
Let me warn you right now: if you do not own an Epson Printer, this post will bore you. You still want to read this? OK then, carry on at your own risk. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I bought an Epson L110 printer a couple of years ago. I can’t remember the exact […]
It has always been a family tradition to watch something about the story of Jesus during Holy Week. I remember times when we all watched Jesus Christ Superstar almost every year until Mel Gibson’s The Passion of Christ came along and then the movie Son of God. This year, we watched The Passion, a TV […]
Most of my friends know how much of a couch potato I am when it comes to the US TV Fall season. I am hooked on so many shows (and them some) that I usually do not have a social life when that happens. Sad, I know but considering that I live in the province […]
Hapa, according to Wikipedia, is a person of mixed Asian or Pacific Islander heritage. These days, Hapas are very popular in Asia, particularly in the entertainment industry. I think it’s no surprise that they get attention because the mixed heritage usually results in good looks plus growing up abroad means that they are very good […]
I was watching a bunch of old movies one weekend and I decided to re-watch the movie The Prince and Me, starring Julia Stiles. My first thought when I was watching was, “Whatever happened to Julia Stiles?” The last I saw of her was in the Bourne movies that starred Matt Damon but I nothing […]
