Modern Family is one of my favorite TV shows because it has both comedy and heart. You will laugh at their antics but at the end of most episodes, there is usually a lesson to be learned that makes you appreciate your loved ones, especially your family. In the latest episode (S04E17), “Best Men,” gay […]
Too Late
One of the things I love about How I Met Your Mother is how it touches on issues that I can relate to. As the characters grow older, their issues change, and because I’m close to their age, it’s like I’m growing up with them. Season 8 Lily is a lot different from season 1 […]
ASAP 2012 in Singapore
My favorite variety show when I was still in the Philippines was ASAP, so when they staged a show in Max Atria Pavillion last October 14, I decided to go watch with Dred and Jemma. We were only able to avail of the cheapest tickets, though, so we were quite far from the stage and could barely […]
Mishal Husain Meets Monisha Kaltenborn
Sometime ago, I got this in my email: It seemed like an interesting opportunity, so I asked my office friends if they wanted to give it a go. They did, so I emailed my RSVP. There were six guests but we chose to attend the session with Monisha Kaltenborn, the current CEO of the Sauber […]
The Newsroom (TV Series)
My friend Ngangi recommended that I watch the newly minted HBO series called The Newsroom, so one fine Saturday I did just that, and as I was watching the pilot episode, I was struck by an epiphany: “OMG I want to work for TV! Why oh why didn’t I know back then that this was […]
A Study in Purple
BBC Sherlock’s first episode is called “A Study in Pink” and it involves a dead woman with a pink suitcase. A Study in Pink Well today, I just couldn’t resist. A Study in Purple The trench coat, the scarf, the cheekbones, the thinking pose – all Sherlock. I need help. P.S. Do you like my […]
Sherlock {TV Show Review}
I’ve been a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes eversince I was a kid, so when my friend Nantoy told me that there was a TV series called Sherlock which puts the famous detective in the modern-day era, I got intrigued and told him I would watch it even before he could get around to telling […]
The Big Bang Theory (TV Series)
So lately I’ve been sleeping way too late thanks to four nerdy guys and a hot girl. I’m talking about the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. My friend Caloy gave me copies of the episodes and I was hooked from the first episode (watch clips of that here). I’ve never laughed so hard since Friends. […]
Gleek Phase
I love Glee. That makes me a “gleek” – the term they coined for Glee geeks. Glee got to me when I watched the first episode and Will resigned from teaching to be an accountant because he needed to provide for his family and Emma countered with, “But provide what, exactly? The understanding that money […]
Endless Love: Spring Waltz
As if I don’t get enough Korean exposure at work (my AP market is Korea and I deal with Koreans everyday), I get my dose of Korean kilig on Monday to Thursday nights right before I sleep by watching Spring Waltz on ABS-CBN. Call me corny, but I’m a sucker for kilig moments. My favorite […]
