I love the Taiwanese version of Itazura na Kiss which stars Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin. It has two parts — It Started with a kiss, which tells the story of their HS years and then the second one, They Kiss Again, when they are married and both pursuing a career in the medical field. Although I already know the story I decided to watch Mischievous Kiss because it stars Kim Hyun Joong. I like him in his portrayal in Boys Before Flowers. The Korean version was a bit shorter with only 16 episodes. The girl in the Kdrama looks like Ariel Lin and you would love to hate her innocence and stupidity. As for Kim Hyun Joong character he is like Joe Cheng a snob genius who have a hard time expressing his feelings. I think he won’t even buy an anniversary ring for his wife to make her happy. After watching Playful Kiss I wish they prolong it so that the story won’t appear to be rushed. There are a lot of nice scenes that should have been included. But I still think it’s worth watching.
I was browsing around when I came by a post that talks about the Chalet girl. It stars Ed Westwick and since I am a bit intrigued by him I decided to watch it. And I also love the plot. Chalet Girl is a feel good movie. Actually it’s an ordinary story of a boy meets girl but the mom of the boy does not want the girl because she is a chalet girl and they are a rich family. The girl traveled all the way to Austria to work at the vacation house of the boy’s family. While working she tried to train for snow boarding. She’s a champion skater but because she lost her mom she decided to quit. One of the things that I love about this movie is her relationship with her dad. And watching it under the 10 degrees weather makes me shiver 
If you want to smile and feel good, watch it!
I read the Bourne Legacy already. It was not written by Robert Ludlum but by Eric Van Lustbader. According to my research they were able to talked to the handler of Robert Ludlum about the rights of continuing the Bourne series in books. The book was good that I read the remaining two novels — Bourne Betrayal and Bourne Sanction. Now, I think there are still four more that I haven’t read and one is still on process. I guess Jason Bourne inspires the author tremendously. Now, Bourne Legacy is being made into a movie. Based on what I read with Jeremy Renner in the lead as Aaron Cross, I think the movie will be different from the novel. I might be wrong though. And I think Metro Manila has stopped for a day. Even those who plans to buy some overalls have stayed on the streets to watch the shooting of some scenes of this movie. Yap, we were lucky that our country was selected for the shooting of some scenes. I guess, they have a scene there where Rachel Weisz is buying some medicine from a pharmacy. Nice right? I do hope this would help boost our tourism.
When I am in the Philippines, I would not watch local programs except for news. That’s because most of the time it was my daughter who is glued in and she only watched Disney Jr. But if I am out of the Philippines, I miss watching local programs. In fact when I am bored I would surf youtube and watch different videos. Yesterday, I watch some Eat Bulaga clips. And I was really laughing my hearts out. I do hope the network wars would end because it is much better to see the actors/actresses in different TV station. I fancy seeing Santino and Ana Manalastas in Eat Bulaga doing Pinoy Henyo. I am really looking forward to going home and watching programs in Filipino again.
And what do you know, my little girl is now learning some Arabic word. We found a channel here which broadcast some of the cartoons from both Disney Jr and Nick. So that what she is watching everyday. Some are in English, majority in Arabic. And the commercials are in Arabic also but they are showing some nice toys. When she saw them she asked me if she can buy some as graduation gifts for her cousins. Isn’t she sweet? Anyway back to the shows. Dora and Diego are in Arabic so now she kept on saying Roem, lei, Taal, Asif etc. I wonder if she would learn Arabic before Filipino. haha.
Last Sunday, GGV was a trending topic in Twitter. I haven’t watch any episode of it but I wanted to but unfortunately I always forget about it’s schedule. So while I was browsing the net the other day I decided to search it in youtube. Fortunately I was able to find an episode of it with Kris Aquino and Dingdong Dantes as guest. This was the one that was trending in youtube. Yes, Vice Ganda is indeed funny. He really can generate laughter among the audience. Though because of the negative write ups against Kris Aquino I find myself cringing whenever she says something. But I think the episode is nice over all.
In one week I was able to finish watching the first eight episodes of Criminal Minds, CSI and The Mentalist. Now, after researching how cd duplication is done I am planning on watching the Lie to Me series. It’s also a crime solving series but the difference here is that the lead actor reads the actions of the person he is interviewing. The gestures, mannerism and facial expression are being observed and later used to solve the crime. It was really fascinating to watch it and used it in real life. haha.

There was a point in our flight to Dubai that I got really nervous. I know I am having some anxiety attacks. I am not much of a fan of air travel and I really don’t like being closeted in the airplane for eight hours. On my first international flight I experienced some pain that now can be avoided by flying via business class. It’s a good thing that my husband is a frequent flyer and he can use his miles for upgrade. Anyway, the airplane got shaky at some point and I know it’s a turbulence so I tried to calm myself by watching movies. I saw Contagion but decided not to watch it because it might make me more tense. So, I settled for Glee. Unfortunately, it was not that nice. That might be the reason that it did not create a lot of noise. There are songs that they have already performed in the series. I am unimpressed. They did not give out a performance that merits them a standing ovation. Well, that just my two cents.
When I was looking for something to cheer me up, I search and found this movie. It was categorized as romantic comedy so I tried it. I was a bit doubtful at first, just like someone getting a debt advice from someone who is knee deep in debt. I am not a fan of Justin Timberlake but I am after the story not the actor and I am surprised it turn out to be a nice one. Even the husband did enjoy it. Of course we did not watch it together but when we talk on the phone we talked about it and we were laughing just discussing the scenes and dialogue. So if you want a good laugh then watch this movie.
I have seen the trailer of the New Year’s Eve movie a lot of times. Aside from the fact that it was a star studded movie with the likes of Bon Jovi appearing, I also like it’s sound track — Raise your Glass by Pink. This movie is like Valentine’s Day but I think a better version. Well, it’s already showing but unfortunately until today we have not watched the movie. Oh well, I just wait for the copy.
