Martin Late at Night is Back!

Tweet

I was a big fan of Martin Late at Nite and was probably the saddest fan when it aired its last show in 2003. But now it’s back on ABS-CBN! Martin Late @ Night airs every Friday nights at 11:30 pm – 12:15 am after the news show Bandila.

I’ve been hearing of its comeback for months already but only had the chance to watch tonight. Tonight’s guest is Lea Salonga. Lea taught Martin how to play this video game. I forgot the name, sorry. Like me, Martin is not a “gamer” so he doesn’t know how to use the controls.

It was a very fun episode, Martin and Lea are both very witty and talkative. Jet Mandela had a brief appearance at the end of the show.

I won’t miss the next Friday night episodes. Hopefully, this show will last for years.

Welcome back Martin!

masterchef? not me!

After the successful launch of Pinoy Junior Master Chef, ABS-CBN is now holding auditions for Master Chef (Philippines) Pinoy edition.

The qualifications are

• 18 to 50 years old
• no culinary degree or diploma
• no cooking experience in a fine or casual dining restaurant
• no teaching experience in a cooking class or demo

I’m qualified! I better look for used culinary equipments, so I can practice my culinary skills. But I’m no cooking expert like my sister D. I should encourage her to audition since she loves cooking, next to her daughter, so much!

She should show her talent to the whole world. Just like what I always tell my son, you’re very lucky for your God-given talent and the least that one can do to show their gratitude to God is to improve their talents and use it for good.

MMT #14 - Mom-ME Time, 28 August 2011

Tweet

My me-time this week was watching My Binondo Girl. This new television series of ABS-CBN is about a Filipina-Chinese named Jade, played by actress Kim Chiu, who pretends to be a boy for her Chinese father to accept her.

The primary setting of the television series is in Binondo, Philippines and some scenes are shot in Hongkong, China. Binondo in Manila, Philippines is the oldest Chinatown in the world, established in 1594, and is primarily populated by ethnic Chinese families.

Although I didn’t stood-up-clap-while-shouting-bravo yet, I enjoyed it because I get to unwind after a long day mommy time.

How was your me-time this week?

MMT #9 - Mom-ME Time, 17 June 2011

Tweet

I was able to have my Mom-ME time everyday last week. Yes, everyday! Good for me? Well, I'm sure if you're a SAHM or WAHM, you most often than not have this ME time also. As soon as the school bus picks up RJ, I turn on the television and watch the local morning news of ABS-CBN while eating breakfast. I also watch other local channel's morning show while the ABS-CBN news show is on commercial break.

A good combination to start the day, right? Breakfast they say is the most important meal of the day. Although I'm not a big breakfast eater, I try to eat a portion good enough to make me full until lunch time.

I get ideas on what to blog about from the morning show. But I'm appealing to the news team to please, please give more importance to good quality news instead of reporting  gruesome, unimportant news that even give wrong ideas to uneducated people. Report what happened but don't give the details of how the bad deed was done.

I might have frowned a bit when I watched those bad news, but overall my ME time was superb! So, how was your ME time?

i don't believe in fortune tellers

I make it a point to watch the morning news since I seldom have the time to watch the evening telecast. But I run for the remote, to change the channel, every time the zodiac reading is on. Some are ridiculously unimaginative. Even I can make those horoscopes. Not creative, at all!

Are there lots of people in this country who still believe in horoscopes and fortune tellers? I guess so, that's the reason why top television networks include it in their morning news show.

ABS-CBN's Imortal

Tweet

There's this show on ABS-CBN that started late last year. Imortal. Just like the Twilight Saga, it's a story about vampires and werewolves. But unlike the story of the Twilight Saga, which is a love story between the vampire Edward Cullen and the human Bella Swan, Imortal is a love story between werewolf Lia Ortega and vampire Mateo Rodriguez.

Watching the first episode is laughable to some because of the similarity to some Twilight scenes. Mateo's vampire dad, who like the Cullens belong to a tribe of good vampires, fell in love with a human. The similarity ended with the giving birth to Mateo. Ceres, his mom, died because Roman, his vampire dad, chose not to give her a "cursed life".

Lia Ortega, the strongest werewolf, became the leader of a group that protects humans from vampires.

I don't really watch the show on television because I really hate the advertisements. I just wait for the video online. I really like the plot, very interesting. Except for the love scenes which I think is not appropriate for a 9pm show. It only happened once, I was able to fast forward it because I watch online, but the kids who watch it! Hopefully they don't show scenes like that again, it doesn't help the show at all. Talk about awkward -for parents and kids who watch together!

Do you also watch the show? What makes you watch it every single night?
