METRO MANILA --- The difference between the LRT & MRT

WE WILL BEGIN OUR TRAVEL IN METRO MANILA, the Capital of he Philippines.

In this place where you will find tall buildings/ skycrapers, medium size and  huge malls everywhere, community stores (sari-sari stores as what we call them), various public transport (tricycles, jeepneys, buses, cabs), and new and newest car models  --- all of these rule the highway! I almost forgot, the Light Rail Transits (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT).  I think of the LRT as a train for Middle Class to Lower Class citizens, and MRT for the Lower Class because of the narrow space it has inside, you would always squeeze yourself in and out of the train among those people refusing to leave by the train door because of the difficulty of getting out when they reach their station. While LRTs are quite spacious and quite comfortable, I would wait until the train stops and the doors open before I began to walk out.

MY FAVORITE PLACES IN THE PHILIPPINES!

Honestly, I have only visited a few places but have not been to so many places in the Philippines that are worth remembering.  I believe that a lot of foreigners have fallen in love with my country when they visited.  Maybe it is one among the Top Ten in their list that they are going to visit again and again.

As I was watching TLC Channel, I am very proud that the hosts of the shows like  ___________, _______________, ____________ have complimented the Philippines so much not only due to the places that they have been to but also because of the FOOD!

Let me take you to an entire tour of the Philippines, some which I have experienced, the rest, well... based on what I have been hearing from tourists who have written their travel experiences in their blogs.  But maybe I can be of so much help because I am a very resourceful person that I will give you the lists of even the hidden places that not all tourists have been to YET.  Who knows, you might be the first to step on it. :)

One day, she returned to the hospital only to see that it was on fire, with her sister nowhere to be found and most likely dead. As it turns out, Angela was actually kidnapped by men who made children work as beggars on the streets. This is where Angela became friends with a little boy, "Dos" (the future Louie), who was also a captive. Devastated and alone, Anna was adopted by Ronaldo Valera, a famous fashion designer (Robert Arevalo). She was renamed Victoria Valera and was sent abroad, studied fashion design and became a supermodel.

Angela was adopted by a couple in the textile district of Manila, Divisoria and renamed her Gelai Agustin. She continues both her and her sister's dreams of becoming top Philippine designers.

She wants to steal Vera's place as the "Queen of Philippine Fashion" and tries to take over Vera's company; all in the name of keeping her and her sister's dreams alive. But what will happen if the budding designer, Gelai and the new queen of fashion, Victoria, clash? Vera will use this opportunity to topple down the sisters by using the man they both love, Louie and her business schemes to place herself again as the fashion queen but in the end, the sisters will prove that blood is always thicker than water and only forgiveness could heal all the wounds of the past.
At the end the only main characters left are: Vera, Chloe, Caloy, Anna (Victoria), Angela (Gelai), Ronaldo Valera, Hermes Agustin, and Sonia Agustin.

Plot summary

David "JR" Garcia Jr. was born into a poor family. His father, David Sr., deserted his mother Marlene before he was born because his wife, Ingrid Garcia was pregnant with David "Dave" Garcia, Jr. When Audrey King and her family went to Tagaytay for a visit, she fell from a set of high stairs. JR saves her life and introduces himself as David Garcia Jr. after she asks for his name. When she gets to the hospital and is asked by the witnesses and her family who saved her, she says it's David Garcia Jr. - but Dave is given the credit instead of JR.

As she grows up falling in love with Dave, Dave meets JR and they become the best of friends, but their families did not approve on their friendship. Dave's family thought that JR just wanted to use Dave just for the money. The siblings' mothers would not let the two hang out, although their father allowed the friendship to continue, because there was something about JR that David Sr. liked. Dave's grandmother, Elizabeth, and JR's mother, Marlene, suspects David Sr is keeping the two boys' friendship alive.

Audrey's father, Stanley Sr, sends her to Cebu to continue her studies. JR and Audrey have a chance encounter in the airport and feel like they have seen each other before. Dave and JR are accepted into the Philippine Military Academy where they graduate at the top of their class. The family rivalry becomes worse as everyone finds out that Dave and JR are half-siblings when David Sr appears on graduation day. Elizabeth would exert all efforts to cover up the truth, to the point that she engineers Marlene's imprisonment. Things become even worse as David Sr. dies from a gunshot wound during a raid by gun smuggling boss Leo Cardenas on his armory on the suggestion of Ramon Lecumberri, JR and Dave's estranged older half-brother. It was followed by more events such as the death of Audrey's mother Loreta, Ramon killing Leo to save Lola Gets and the involvement of Audrey's younger brother, Stan Jr, in Ramon's syndicate. Further DNA testing confirms that Dave and JR are twins.

As things develop, Stanley kills Elizabeth over a financial dispute and frames JR. He was imprisoned and later broke out of jail with a former enemy, Ka Doroy, as part of a double agent operation with the military regarding the syndicate.^[2] He discovers that the syndicate's boss, "Hunyango", is actually Marlon Cardenas, Dave's godfather and Leo's father.

After JR was hit in a later incident, Dave agrees to a kidney transplant to save his twin in exchange for a civil wedding to Audrey, but the marriage turns out to be fake because of Mamita's machinations. Dave and Audrey plan a church wedding, but Dave backs out. Audrey ends up marrying JR in church and later bears him a son named Adrian. However, she dies of heart disease a few days after giving birth.

The brothers eventually face off in a final showdown with Ramon, who agrees to surrender after Marlene's appeals and completing a plan to bring down his syndicate. However, a mentally-insane Ingrid shoots Ramon in the head while being taken into custody. He survives the shooting but doctors said the bullets rendered him blind.^[3] Ingrid is then turned over to a psychiatric hospital by Dave. Ramon is sentenced to life imprisonment and makes amends with Marlene, JR, and Dave behind bars. The three, who visit Ramon from time to time, now live together with Robert, Adrian, Ula, Angela and Lily. The story ends with a cliffhanger: a woman and her son appears at the Garcia house one evening. They introduce themselves as Emma Garcia (a third wife of David Garcia Sr.) and David Anthony Garcia III.


LOBO

Piolo Pascual
Angel Locsin

Lobo (english, wolf) was a fantasy series about young lovers Lyka Raymundo and Noah Ortega, produced by and aired on ABS-CBN. The story revolved around the two main characters who belong to opposing groups, the Luna which seeks to eliminate the Lobo or white werewolves, and the Waya, which seeks to protect the Lobo. Noah becomes a second lieutenant of the Philippine Army. During a crucial mission, he saves Don Manolo Sebastian and becomes involved in the battle between the Luna and the Waya. Starring Angel Locsin, who at that time had just transferred from GMA Network, Lobo also starred Piolo Pascual alongside Locsin.

Lyka's position as fashion assistant to Lady Elle is foreshadowed by the fact that she is believed to be the last hope of her fellow white wolves: "Ang Huling Bantay". It is through the House of Elle that Lyka crosses paths with Noah, Lady Elle's bodyguard and driver. Little does she know that he is actually her childhood friend, "Jay-Jay" whom she thought was long dead. When Lyka and Noah finally meets and falls in love, something had to tear them apart. Something that Noah can never accept. The blossoming romance between the two is hindered by the presence of Gabrielle Dizon and Anton Rivero. Gabrielle is a deep-penetration agent who attempts to distract Noah while Anton is in love with Lyka and will do anything to prove his love.

The show garnered mixed reviews, but it remained one of the top rating fantaseryes in the country and garnered critical acclaim both in the country and abroad. It gained a rating of 36.3% on the airing when its pilot episode aired on 28 January 2008.

Angel Locsin was nominated Best Actress for a Foreign TV Drama Series in the International Emmy Awards 2009.

PLOT / SUMMARY

The story starts with the love story of Amor (Eula Valdez) and Eduardo (Tonton Gutierrez). Eduardo's mother, Benita, opposes the relationship since Amor was just a maid and also because she wanted Eduardo to marry Claudia (Jean Garcia) for political reasons. Eduardo's brother, Diego (Jestoni Alarcon), who has a crush on Amor, was asked by Benita to separate them. Eduardo, on seeing Diego trying to rape Amor, mistook it as them having a relationship, and is heartbroken and decides to marry Claudia. Amor, now pregnant, is forced to leave the Buenavista Hacienda and went back to her mother at a trash dump site. She vows to have her revenge on the Buenavista family when she finds out that Eduardo has married Claudia.

After giving birth to a girl named Maria Amor, Amor and her friend Lourdes survived by working in clubs. Amor caught the eye of a rich American who brings her to the U.S.A. She leaves her child and mother at the dump and sends money to them from time to time.

The American was abusive to Amor. When a landslide hit the dump site, making Amor think that her mother and daughter had died, he still did not allow her to go back to the Philippines. She got her revenge on him by not getting the medical help he needed when he suffered a stroke. He died and she inherits all his money.

Eduardo and Claudia had two 2 children: Angelo and Lia. Eduardo is the current Governor of Punta Verde while Claudia has become the ever elusive Gambling Queen. Angelo is a rebel who dislikes his father while Lia is the sweet, church-attending teen whose feelings everyone wants to protect.

Amor's daughter, however, survives the landslide and is adopted by a couple, Isko and Belen Macaspac. They already had a son named Caloy, who hated Yna. The couple found drawings Eduardo made for Amor, signed "Ynamorata" near the abandoned child, so they decided to call the little girl they found Ynamorata. Isko and Belen soon had another child, Flerida.

Benita Buenavista regretted forcing Eduardo to marry Claudia as her daughter-in-law turned out to be a bad lady. She tried to explain on her deathbed that she was the one who broke his relationship with Amor but died before explaining. She then haunted the dreams of the now grown up Yna to make up for her sins.

By accident, Yna and Eduardo meet and Yna dreams Benita showing her that her past lies in the Buenavista family. Intrigued, she gets a job working as a maid for the family in hopes of finding out about her past.

Yna and Angelo fall in love, much to the chagrin of Claudia, and due to the fact she looks down on maids, makes Yna's life a living hell.

Amor, coming back from the US as Amor Powers, has made a name for herself in the business world, all the while planning her revenge on the Buenavista family, whom she blamed for the sufferings she endured before as well as the assumed death of her child. One of the most awaited parts is the revelation to Amor that Yna is in fact her long lost daughter.

The dilemma is that, after finding out that Yna's true father is Eduardo, Angelo and Yna are therefore siblings. It is later revealed that Angelo's true dad is not Eduardo. It is at 1st thought to be Simon (who was a poor lover of Claudia), but it is later revealed to be Diego's with a poor woman who died.

In turn's out that Claudia gave birth to a daughter; Claudia's father later switched the babies so a boy would inherit his riches. The daughter's name was Maria Amor, who was raised by an old woman and had her believing she was Amor's daughter (but her real name was revealed to be Clarissa) and was later briefly mistaken to be Amor and Eduardo's daughter by everyone, including Claudia. To seek revenge on Amor, Claudia kills Maria Amor. She later find's out who Maria Amor really is and is deeply crushed. When she reconciles with everyone in Yna and Angelo's wedding, she sees her daughter's spirit and begs forgiveness. At prison, she inherits her daughter's ashes.

The end of the series sees everyone reunited with their true loves- Yna marries Angelo, Claudia marries Simon Barcial, and Amor and Eduardo decide to live together.

K-DRAMA : MY GIRL

       

AND THE WINNER IS...

KOREAN DRAMA -- MY GIRL!

Yes, this is something that made my life so happy during that time when this Korean Drama was shown on Philippine TV.  I laughed, giggled, and cried along with the characters.  If you are really intense understanding the story and feeling it, you would wish that both Lee Dong Wook and Lee Dae Hae fall in love that way in real life.

If there is Piolo Pascual for the ladies in the Philippines, there is Lee Dong Wook for me in Manila. The best looking Korean Male, and I will never get tired looking at his face.

Do watch "The Partners" where he plays a lawyer. He lost weight but I still like the story. He is now in the military and might be released next year.















In an effort to fulfill his dying grandfather's wish, Seol Gong-chan (LEE Dong wook) searches all of Pan Asia looking for his cousin; the daughter of his aunt which his grandfather had disowned. All leads turn up empty until he finds a doppelganger in tour guide/ hustler/ swindler Ju Yu-rin (SBS 2005 Performance Award Winner LEE Da Hae). He persuades her to pretend to be his cousin so his grandfather can die peacefully knowing that his granddaughter is alive and well.

Things take an unexpected turn as her 'appearance' causes his grandfather's condition to improve significantly and regain his health. Fearful that they both will be found out and needing to keep up the charade, Yu-rin moves in with his family.

From here, things get dicey as Gong-chan has to pretend that Yu-rin is his cousin, his affection for her gets blurred. It doesn't help that his ex-girlfriend, pro-tennis player Kim Seohyun (Park Si Yeon) re-enters his life wanting to mend their broken love and his womanizing friend Seo Jung Woong has set his sights on Yu-rin.
The comedy, albeit, rather cheesy at times, is still fairly entertaining. It's execution is a lot smarter then my initial perceptions that even its slapstick means something and is not just a sight gag. And even amidst the comedy, the serious dramatic moments are never a jolt.

At the heart of the series is this notion of lying to ones self in order to survive. For Yu-rin, lying is second nature, something Gong-chan has not needed to do because everything was provided for him. Add forbidden emotions to the mix and lying and telling the truth respectively becomes more difficult than they realize.
Da Hae's tortured liar Yu-rin would be considered the straight character amidst her wacky 'real' family and the wacky character amidst her straight 'bogus' family. It's an odd line to walk, but somehow Da Hae pulls it off without losing the audiences' attention. Dong-wook's Gong-chan deteriorates from a straight as an arrow dull workaholic to irresponsible, footloose rogue very convincingly. But perhaps the performance prize goes to the Joon Ki's womanizing Jung woong, who gets a taste of his own bitter medicine that continuously eats him up inside.

 

COFFEE PRINCE

Another great performance by Eun Yoon Hye.  Acting like a boy and looked like a boy, she's like doing the role of Sharon Cuneta in her previous movie, "Jack & Jill".

If I didn't know the character of this "Pretty Boy", I wouldn't like watching this drama series bacause there was a bit of awkwardness while watching it. Only because I knew that it was Yoon Eun Hye, a real girl, who was portraying the role that I came to fall in love with the two (2) lead characters' romantic feelings and gestures in this drama.

I fell in love with Choi Han Kyul or better known as the hunky Gong Yoo.  He did this drama before he entered the military.  Now that he is out of the camp, I hope that he would be busy making stories that would thrill a lot of ladies and fall in love with him once more.

He is currently finishing the drama "Finding Kim Jong Wook" and hopefully airs in ABS-CBN.

With a foolish mother and the need to look after her younger sister, “pretty boy” Go Eun Chan has to give up her feminine image to help support the family with multiple jobs. Because of her previous experience with Tae Kwon Do, Eun Chan has quite the bold and opinionated personality. Choi Han Kyul seems to know women well and thinks of himself as a great guy.

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul’s grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his “homosexuality”?

After accidentally being mistaken for a man by Han Kyul’s older brother, Choi Han Seong, she starts working at Coffee Prince, and falls in love with the hot-tempered owner Choi Han Kyul. Han Kyul hires Eun Chan to avoid an arranged marrage by pretending to be romantically linked to a “gay” Eun Chan. But Choi Han Kyul slowly starts to develop feelings for her, but still doesn’t believe in love. Eun Chan also starts to have feelings for Han Kyul but can’t confess that she’s a woman, Han Kyul, continues thinking that the agonized Go Eun Chan is a man. Choi Han Kyul thinks he’s experiencing feelings of homosexuality towards her, and gets heartsick. This side of him was drawn in a risky but fun way.

The part when he discovers that Go Eun Chan is a woman is shown in an undemanding way, and the story doesn’t concentrate on just these two people, but also on the other people who frequent Coffee Prince. These people are shown one by one in a natural way, and since the story isn’t just about romance but about the natural conflicts of all the characters.

K-DRAMA : MY FAIR LADY

MY FAIR LADY This is my No. 1 Korean Novela in 2010.  I love the story, the actors, and the lead actress' fashion sense. It's the opposite of Boys Over Flowers' lead male character.  Yoon Hyun Hye has that classic and modern beauty that whatever fashion you put on her, it will always suit her.  Not only that, she is able to carry herself well which would make every girl and lady love to emulate her  (not the character in this drama, ofcourse!) If BOF has handsome boys, this drama has handsome men. My Fair Lady aka Lady Castle   Brat. One simple word that wholly defines Kang Hye-na -- the main character in the Korean TV series, My Fair Lady (Agasshireul Butakhae ). What could possibly be the reasons of her character? My Fair Lady which is also known as Lady Castle premiered in KBS World TV last September 16, 2009. Watch this Korean drama that will surely put a smile in your face.She is desired by men, feared and hated by women... A story of a girl who was born in a wealthy upper class family and lived a 'princess-like' life with her servants. Kang Hye-na, a strong-headed, and selfish lady, became the only successor to the largest conglomerate company, Kang-san Group when she lost her parents in a plane crash at a very young age. She was then brought up by her grandfather and haven't experienced the warmth of family when she grew up. One day, out of pure coincidence, she comes across Dong-chan turns her life up-side down. He makes Hye-na to do community service, kidnaps her, and now appears in front of her as the new household manager! Hye-na makes every effort to throw him out from the castle, but she may have finally met her match. Kang Hye-na, the owner of 'Lady Castle', has lost her parents in a plane crash. Even then, she lived a princess-like life with her servants but she had a lonely upbringing, living under the care of her stern grandfather. This resulted to her overtly indifferent and oblivious-to-others' character. She has grown-up into a self-centered woman that every time she opens her mouth, she would blurt out blunt remarks no matter who the person is. However, she has great skills on horse riding, fencing, and clay shooting. The only reason she holds these skills is to either humiliate men unworthy of her, or to add awkwardness to conversations. One day, she came across Seo Dong-chan, a gigolo who made her life upside down. She doesn't have a good feeling about this man, Seo Dong-chan. She feels uneasy over the fact that she may have finally met her match. Seo Dong-chan played by Yoon Sang-hyun Seo Dong-chan was a former gigolo (gold-digger) who gave up his schooling in the university and his first love just to make money for the operations of his mother who has an acute leukemia. Dong-chan has good looks, eloquent speech, excellent art of living, and great skills of adapting to circumstances thus making him the best gigolo. Soon after his mother passed away, he stopped his booming career. At the moment, all he got is only five thousand debt which resulted from the charges from his mother's operations. One day, a woman named Kang Hye-na who is notorious for being arrogant and spoiled shows up and stimulated his competitive spirit. , Dong-chan makes up his mind to enter the Castle and becomes her butler on the purpose of changing his whole life. Lee Tae-yoon played by Jung Il-woo  Tae-yoon, an elite lawyer who came from a very wealthy family. He is devoting his life to legal service for the poor in a shabby lawyer's office. He may look like a soft and gentle young man, but when it comes to his work he is merciless and sharp like a knife. He reminds Hye Na of her first love which is why she was attracted to him. Yeo Eui Joo played by Moon Chae-won  Eui Joo is a bright and cheerful girl who dreams to be a shoe designer. She has grown up with Dong-chan and had been the mentor who helps him do the right things. She was also the closest person who worries about him and supports him to get his life on track. Behind of Eui-ju's special interest in him, her unrequited love is hidden.
