Oh my how long has it been? Long before this Korean wave in the country (and the rest of the world apparently), Taiwanese soaps were the biggest thing here. Like most people, I had my share of favorites – the biggest one of which was that young man who caught my eye in the show […]
Superheroes are the in thing these days. There are so many movies and TV shows about superheroes from the Marvel and DC Universe that have been coming out one after the other. In the Philippines, we have our own share of superheroes like Darna, Captain Barbell etc. but I find that they are very similar […]
Crime Procedurals, or “Detective Shows” as my nephew calls them, is a genre that has always been a part of my to-watch list when it comes to the US Fall TV season. I have been loyal to several of these shows through the years that I have wondered how it would feel if these shows […]
You wouldn’t think that there’d be a resort there, but you’d be wrong. When I first went to Riverfront Resort, all I saw was a residential road, I wasn’t expecting much as far as the type of resort that we would find. We turned to a rough road that then led to a beautiful spot […]
One thing that people close to me know about me is that I love my gadgets. I love shopping for gadgets more than I do for clothes or shoes. I get more excited about the latest camera or laptop than I do about the latest fashion. A friend once commented “You read the Tech Section?!” […]
I don’t think I’ve ever watched TV in the same way since the entry of entertainment streaming services in the country. As grateful as I am that many cable channels now offer same-day (or week) airing as the US with my favorite TV shows, I haven’t been able to catch up with them because I […]
If you asked me when I was younger if I would ever be a fan of country music, I’d probably say never. These days, however, it’s a genre I enjoy listening to. One album that gets constant replays on my Spotify account is Sam Hunt’s Between the Pines Acoustic Mixtape. I became a fan of […]
I don’t know if it’s the summer heat or this overwhelming urge to detox but I really want a portable bathtub. Our home has three bathrooms, all of them with that tiled division between the rest of the bathroom and the shower area. So there’s basically this tub-like area when you shower, but it’s not […]
I had originally planned to write about the elections but more on the aspect of annoying jingles, the posters and all that but now that we are just a couple of weeks away and so much has happened, I felt that it was time to write about something else. Social media has been around for […]
A few weeks ago my niece celebrated her birthday. 11 years old. I can’t help but feel nostalgic about it because I love her like she was my own. I was there in the hospital waiting with the rest of the family when my sister gave birth to her and she has been a part […]
I love Tom Hiddleston. There’s something about that man and they way he acts, his voice and his personality that is so attractive that I can’t help but be drawn to him and his projects. When I heard that he did the miniseries The Night Manager with Hugh Laurie (I was a fan of his show […]
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 […]
