I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

From  Pep.ph Sigh.  I have separation anxiety #sepanx with this series that I have grown to love.  It had its off days, but MOST of the time, the scenes are exciting, putting me to the edge of my seat, giving me cheap thrills, or making me laugh.   There are times when I get traumatized by a scene or two, that I have to play the piano first before doing my research or anything else...or for me to have happy thoughts before sleeping.  That's how effective the script and execution are.  Or else, why should it be so real to me when I know that it is only a work of fiction? It's not really advisable for people who have PTSD to watch this, according to my friends who tried watching this, but couldn't because it was so convincing that they had to undergo cleansing rituals  so-to-speak before becoming OK.  If the very supposedly harmless COCOON could do that to people with mental health issues, then I guess something like this that is so...

From GMA 7 Created by: Loi Argel Nova    Written by: Des Garbes-Severino Obet Villela Glaiza Ramirez Directed by: Mark A. Reyes V Starting September 9, Coco Martin's Ang Probinsyano has a new rival program: GMA-7's Beautiful Justice starring (left frame, L-R) Bea Binene, Yasmien Kurdi, and Gabbi Garcia.   PHOTO/S: NOEL ORSAL / @COCOMARTIN_PH ON INSTAGRAM from Pep.PH ARTICLE: Beautiful Justice director Mark Reyes comments on going against Ang Probinsyano for the third time If the first two nights of #BeautifulJustice are  indications of the success of this series, then I must say that this series is pretty interesting, indeed, and it may be a strong contender for the reigning TV series from the rival network. Encantadia ended while they were still ahead. Yes, even when the ratings of the said show were definitely much higher than FPJ's ANG PROBINSYANO, and it is mentioned in the article  written by  James Pa...

Premise from Wikipedia : Jack and Irene are happily in love with each other. When Irene's motivation to expose the truth, she finds herself in trouble along with her friend, Lily. Jack and Irene's dog, Serena investigate to find the truth about what happened to Irene and Lily. (Just click Wikipedia  to see the cast) The series was impressive at first especially when Janine Gutierrez's role, Irene, was still alive, but I did not like the last few weeks.  I have nothing against Valeen Montenegro, but they killed Gabbi Garcia's role, Lily, making Jack seem like a widower twice, at a very young age. I thought, and I thought wrong, that before THE CURE would start to air on Monday, they would show Jack solving other mysteries, but instead, he just proves that he had much reason to hate his biological father, a human trafficker, among other things, who even called his mother a mercenary who was only after his money in the guise of loving him.   Tsk, ts...

Disclaimer: I am NOT a couch potato.  Now that I am better, I do go out once in a while and besides, it's bad for the eyes---the whole body for that matter---if I transfix myself to the telly/television or my laptop even if it claims it has a retina display. SANA DALAWA ANG PUSO (From Fashion Pulis ) #SanaDalawaAngPuso #SDAP Just the stars and their co-stars alone are enough for me to take interest in a Princess and The Pauper type of show, but from day one it was already very interesting. It is implied that they are twins or could be twins because Lisa's mother left them and Mona's mother left a family heirloom for Mona(and what are the odds that they are named Mona and Lisa, huh?). There are times when Lisa feels whatever is happening to Mona. The two leading men are very appealing here and they act well. Bayani Agbayani is very witty and funny here. Ryan Bang is getting better and better.  Kitkat, Kiray, Alma Moreno, Boboy Garovillo, Carla Martinez,...
