Today's Realization

I have always imagined myself putting the words in my head into a piece. Such as this. And for some reasons that I can't explain, I just searched this free site and signed up.
I have a lot of idle moments. I must have mastered my schedule everyday that I know how else can I squeeze in moments for myself while taking care of my soon-to-be 17 month old boy, Jakob. Since we can not engage in a good conversation "yet" then I guess or I may be reiterating that writing will be a good vice to start with, today.
So I'm a mom at age 30, now 31. Married at 29 and happily taking the role of a wife. But I'm a mom most of the time as my husband works 12 hours a day but spends really good and quality time during weekends.
My everyday looks like a woman waking up at 6am, just when my son wakes up. Cooks, have my son eat, clean, throw the garbage, check my facebook and keep myself updated with the news here and in the Philippines where I came from.
And this is where my blogs will mostly come from. I still feel that certain connection with the Philippines being two years away from the place I still call "home."
Let me begin with the shows I love, used to love and never loved.
By the way, my blog may be biased with other networks as we only have TFC. But I've been telling my husband that I want to try GMA as I heard that there's more to it....or maybe, it's an easy way to get rid of the TFC shows we've been watching for years. Yes, like any other people, we need choices to be entertained.
If there's any best "teleserye" in TFC today that other networks can not level with, that's Gretchen Barretto and Bea Alonzo's Magkaribal.  As a viewer, I have always felt that I am being led to a very nice journey from the pilot. Not to mention the production they've put up to make this really a must-see teleserye.
The plot is clean (so far) and characters are being handled in a more realistic way, except for the antagonistic exchanges between Victoria and Gelai. (Gelai to Victoria: "Sinungaling, desperada...ilusyonada.." )
Who would answer your boss that way? Or even way before that... when Manuel died. You wouldn't dare care about your boss's matters...personal matters at that. But maybe for the sake of living up to the name of the title "Magkaribal", that has to be put in the script, even if at times I feel uncomfortable when Gelai puts up some biting and sometimes, out-of-hand words to Victoria. It's no surprise that Gelai was fired and is now having a hard time looking for a job. Oh well, it's a soap opera! What do I expect? Can I not suspend my reality for 30 minutes and bite it! Hahaha
Anyway, the best part of this teleserye is the way things are going with Gelai and Louie AND Victoria and Louie. That I guess is the best part living up to the name, Magkaribal. That Louie is one hell of a liar! A typcial guy caught in between the love of two hot women! :-) And that love scene between Victoria and Louie?...that's really something (although one scene looked like Louie can't lift from that stand at E position). Bottom line is, the love scene between Victoria and Louie has never failed my expectations right from the start (remember that scened on the table? That was complete shocker! Which I loved haha).
I know there's more to come. I just hope this "serye" won't have a lousy ending (that of Agua Bendita and all the others that just wanted to put a period to the millions of comma they've placed everywhere). I hope there will be no bombs or suicide or those destructive endings we've seen in the past. I hope this one will be different.
Oh, and one last thing...I hope that when Victoria and Gelai find out they're sisters, I hope there will be a much more justified conflict. Not some out-of-this-world twist just because they have to keep running for the ratings. I know this is how their business goes, but you don't beg for the ratings when you know it's one heck of a good show. It's not what the viewers want sometimes, it's what the story calls for. And that's one reason why I watch it. Because I know this is something different from the ones I've seen before.
