My Latest Addiction

I never really paid attention, when friends told me he's really fun. In fact, I wondered why they like him in the first place. I guess it was the TV reception, or I maybe just too close-minded.

I have one friend who share the same feeling. Sponge Bob doesn't ring a bell, because he doesn't look cute and amusing. I don't like the way he was created, much more when he's inside a toilet bowl (it's just too yucky to handle). The other characters of the show, even looked worst.

But suddenly everything changed. When TV5 started airing episodes of the yellow sink sponge, I became a fan. I got entangled by his charm and that of Patrick. I find it funny how they mess up the lives of Squidword and Mr. Crab. I love thinking about Bikini Bottom, Crabby Patty and the Pineapple house.

It is in fact the only TV show I look forward to each day. Well as what Psychologist have always pointed out, you are actually the close reflection of your favorite cartoon character. That could be the reason why I like Sponge Bob so much, just as much as I loved Tazmania, Bugs Bunny, Garfield and Donald Duck. If you think about it, they all have one thing in common - They are all love chaos yet they are charming at the same time.

Well, I guess that explains why I'm like this. Unfortunately, I also love Happy Tree Friends, which means....hmmmm...I'll think about it yet.

You just can't have it all

Last night was one of TV's most heartbreaking and earth-shattering moments. SuperManuel,lost his bid to become Pinoy Fear Factor's El Ultimo Participante.

The Superhuman Manuel Chua, a struggling businessman from Cabanatuan captured the hearts of many TV viewers when he broke record after record, in most of Fear Factor stunts.

I can see why people love Manuel. He is so humble yet he delivers the goods. He has made the Pinoy race proud in so many occasions,during his stint in Argentina. My sisters and nieces are fanatics and they watch PFF, because of him. He is also in the run for the Philippine's Sexiest Man Alive in one blog site (which is mostly populated by hearthrobs actors and models in showbiz).

There are a lot of forums and blogs that I know, who dedicate a space for their new found Superhero. They even call themselves the Superfriends.(I actually replied in that forum and told them that I am a Superfriends too! Now I got a mail from the forum organizer and they want to know my whereabouts hehe)

Lesson for everyone last night. In competitions and most esp. in life, those who have the best chances of winning don't necessarily win. Those who have the skills, the talent, the winning package etc. etc., don't necessarily end up bringing home the bacon. Sometimes, luck plays a vital role. Timing I guess and a whole bunch of prayers.

You win some, you lose some (oftentimes, you lose the battle). But no matter what happens, you just have to do your best, exceed expectations and rise from the occasion. You may not win the top plum, but you'll win the respect of so many people around you.

Boobtube's newest shaker

Free TV has never been the same since the arrival of this newest shaker and mover!

TV 5 Shake mo TV mo, has swept the whole Philippine archipelago by storm, as it features young and hip TV programming that captured the hearts of the young ones and the young once. This new TV programming blocked has already placed them on 3rd spot, barely a month after their existence in the air. Of course TV giants ABS-CBN and GMA are the force to reckon with still, when it comes to broadcasting, but nobody can deny the fact that TV5 has created a niche of it's own with it's brand of lined up programs. This is indeed a breather from the usual fare of sappy telenovelas and weird gameshows and variety shows found in most of the free channels nowadays. I am very happy that we no longer have to subscribe to cable channels just to see Dora explore the mountains and rivers or Sponge Bob play and tricked in Patrick.

I certainly hope that TV5 continue to provide us, the best TV programs from around the world, that's both entertaining and educational. I know in my heart that my little siblings and nephews and nieces,would certainly love to thank everyone at TV5 for making their mornings and their whole day more exciting and fun each day with the kind of shows you provide.

So haven't you shaken your TV sets yet? What are you waiting? Switch on to a brand new TV habit. This is the biggest news in the Philippines' TV landscape for 2008...Boobtube's newest shaker indeed...So friends shake mo na TV mo with TV5!
