Ahhh! I hate it and surely not loving it. I thought that it is all over but I realized that even at 18, I still get to experience the horrors of puberty: PIMPLES!

The CSB Experience 2: He’s on TV Rin?
I thought at first he’s just a local singer featured on TV once who happens to be one of my classmates in one of my classes but turns out that he’s more than that.
Just a few hours ago, I happened to be in Malabon to do this errand for my dad. While waiting for the errand to do its job I stayed in my uncle’s house in the Sibucao Compound in Baritan/Concepcion. He let me watch TV but the saddest thing happened: The TV won’t start after 14 years of existence and continuous use. So his neighbor let me watch TV at her place.
She got Global Destiny Cable so I was able to switch and search between channels just so I know what good stuff they have. Unfortunately there’s no Hero TV, Velvet, Myx, and Animax but they do have Jack TV and C/S Origin!
I stumbled upon this show on IBC-13 which airs Sundays at 11 am. It’s called AM@IBC, a Filipino-Chinese lifestyle magazine show. I was surprised to see a veeeery familiar face, and when he introduced himself during the show’s opening sequence, I was right: IT IS HIM!!
Wow to think, right? I really can’t believe it although I know the show’s existence years before (itused to air on an earlier timeslot followed by a music video show before “Sunday Mall Show”).
Now if only IBC could have its signal improved just like how RPN did to theirs.

“What is Lost is Now Found”
So okay…may kilala akong isang tao na sa loob ng higit sa isang taon ay bigla na lang, nawala sa iisang iglpa lamang. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari pero lingid sa kaalaman ko ay matatagpuan lang pala siya sa isang public domain na kung saan may account ako doon.
The CSB Experience 2: The Recollecting and the Food-Tripping
HAAAAAH! RECOLLECTION!!!
I was a bit pissed off last week after finding out that I didn’t have a reservation on what was supposed to be my recollection day last September 25 Thursday. Turns out that the day was already full and even if I gave that effin’ receipt earlier to the LMO, it won’t make a difference since it was already full that time.
So I was forced to have my recollection with 41 other souls the succeeding week, on September 30 Tuesday.
Turns out that I have nothing to worry about since Alyssa is one of those lucky souls as well as ex-Filip13 buddy Edwin. What even made my day is that I am assured that it won’t be a boring recollection day for Sir Aldwin “Sir Intecom/Gepsych” Sanchez’s our facilitator!
Yehey for that!
Fastforwarding events: 1)I was the first among less than 8 people who took a confession before hearing Mass and, 2) no, we don’t have the Indian priest from last year’s recollection as our mass celebrant (At least no one would laugh at the priest’s English, SHAME ON YOU).

Okay food-tripping (Alyssa, you know this )
We were given food stubs worth 200 Pesos so at least we won’t have to spend the money stored in our wallets (Good since I don’t wanna spend that 500-peso bill my dad gave me early that morning).
So here’s what I bought from using those food stubs:
1. Kare-kare with rice (Php 65)
2. C2 Malaki Lemon (Php 20)
3. Ice Cream Cake (Php 29)
4. Mineral Water (Php 18)
5. Pillows (Php 8)
6. Crunch for Sheena (Php 40)
7. Nagaraya (Php 10)
8. Blueberry Cheescake (Php 25)
And I ate them all!
But wait! THERE’S MORE!
Later that day I also had:
1. Grande Jamocha Almond from Zagu and
2. Sinigang na Isda with Rise
Oww..lots of calories consumed…Need to burn them all off tomorrow!
Happy Eid Al-Fitr!
The CSB Experience 2: Shakey Sabado and a Silver-Filled Revelation
Hahaha! What happened last Saturday was really weird! An Intensity 5 earthquake shook Manila for less than 20 seconds and minutes later we were called by the DO to get our things and go take the emergency way out (We were in the middle of watching a boring yet interesting renaissance art movie for Hartds2 in the 7th floor).
The CW’s 90210

| Rating: | ★★★★ |
| Category: | Other |
I remember the first series, Beverly Hills 90210, when I was around 4-5 years old. Too young yes but I remembered it was initially aired in ABS-CBN. The same goes to the more mature and obviously not age-appropriate 2nd series, Melrose Place. I don’t even know why I even watched the two but the good thing is that I remembered their theme songs (which I have now).
The new 90210 is the fourth series of the franchise (the third would be the short-lived Models Inc.) and unlike the first three, it is now being aired on relatively new network, The CW (after the production company, Spelling Productions, was acquired by CBS/Paramount which controls 50% of the CW) instead of original network Fox.
The show is about the Wilson Family, who moved from Kansas to Beverly Hills, CA because, patriarch Harry Wilson (Rob Estes of ‘Melrose Place’) because he accepted job offer to become West Beverly High School’s principal plus he had to take care of his ailing alcoholic mother, Tabitha (Jessica Walter of Arrested Development) who’s a former 70’s Hollywood actress. Coming with him is ever-reliable photographer-wife Debbie (Lori Wilson) and their two kids, Annie (Shenae Grimes of Degrassi: The New Generation) and adopted brother Dixon (Tristan Wilds).
Completing the ensembles is the popular high school girl Naomi (Annalyn DiCord), lacrosse jock Ethan (Dustin Milligan), high school teacher Ryan (Ryan Eggold) and reliable pal Navid (Michael Steger).
With new characters comes returning characters from the first series, guidance councilor Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth of ‘What I Like About You’), theater actress Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty of ‘Charmed’), Peach Pit owner Nat (Joe E. Tata), and Kelly’s alcoholic mother Jackie Taylor (Ann Gillepsie).
The show’s connection to the old 90210 is the character played by Jessica Stroup, Erin “Silver” Silver. She is Kelly Taylor’s half-sister and a ‘Gossip Girl”-type blogger who is beset with problems from home.

Review Proper:
Judging from the first 5 episodes that i watched online, I’d say that the new 90210 is very consistent on keeping itself a separate story but at the same time trying to let old viewers of the first series to know what happened between the 8-year gap since BH90210 ended.
However, there’s the tendency for the show to focus too much on the old characters’ continuing storyline (Brenda and Kelly rekindling their friendship, and Kelly having to raise her son alone without his father, Dylan [from the first series]). Hopefully that storyline would be given a proper conclusion as the series progresses in the coming years.
Focusing now on the series’ main plot, it is highly obvious that the new series is repeating past BH90210 events in the form of adoptive siblings Annie and Dixon (the so-called “New Brenda and Brandon”). Annie is an aspiring actress who tried her luck at the school’s upcoming musical while goody-good boy Dixon is simpleton who is just as naive as his sister. He was hired as a waiter of the Peach Pit whose owner, Nat, remarked that he reminds him of a certain “Brandon”.
My only complaint to this show as well as other US youth dramas in general is its use of non-age approproate actors who usually are way too old to portray characters in their teens. One such is the character Naomi who is portrayed by a 20-year old actress. In the pilot, Naomi was initially 15 years old who’s about to turn 16 and my first impression of her was “She’s so effin’ old to be freaking 16!!”.
As to how the show was described, it is indeed more sexy and provocative (in short ‘GGish’ but a bit more OCish to some), a complete contrast to the initially innocent theme of the old 90210. However, despite these factors, the show maintains its being a family drama (because of the presence of parents Harry and Debbie Wilson) and teen-issue-oriented series. I’m hoping that this tandem of such would continue well (depending on its performance in the ratings should the CW renew it long enough for the show to fully develop) as well as not being too cliched like past shows.
I sure hope that the new 90210 would eventually become one of the best classic teen shows that are able to define a generation, just as how the old 90210 did as well as shows like Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill (which has yet to end as of now).
