Ka-ka-miss na siya, he is one of my inspirations (inspirations daw o! hahahha!) why I was able to achieve what I’ve always wanted… and my performance is now progressing in my current work.

I recently visited Soompi forums and learned about the news. Here is the post made by dramaok.

———————————————————————
on November 23rd, 2007, Song Il-Guk showed his support for his longtime family friend and mentor, jazz singer, Yoon Hee-Jeong,
by singing and dancing on the stage during her concert.

SIG sang Frank Sinatra’s “Come fly with me” and “I’m in the mood for love”, and also tapdanced.

some clips of singing:

tapdance and singing:

http://dory.mncast.com/mncHMovie.swf?movie…5&skinNum=1
lyric:
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
we’ll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I’ll be holding you so near
You may hear angel’s cheer ’cause we’re together
Weather-wise it’s such a lovely day
You just say the words and we’ll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco bay
It’s perfect for flying honeymoon, they say
come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away
Pack up, let’s fly away

—

and audio file of him singing ‘I’m in the mood for love (Sinatra)’
download:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J334307I

lyric:
I’m in the mood for love simply because you’re near me
Funny but when you’re near me, I’m in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes, bright as the stars we’re under,
Oh, is it any wonder, I’m in the mood for love.
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade,
We´ve put our hearts together – now we are one, I’m not afraid.
If there’s a cloud above, if it should rain, we’ll let it.
But for tonight forget it, I’m in the mood for love.

——–

he was on the stage for a little over 10 minutes.
we can imagine how hard he must have worked for this.
i’m so ready to fly with him, and i’m glad he’s in the mood to love me. keke..
SIG fighting!
he looks good..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hahahha! I am so delighted with our cutie oppa’s singing and dancing prowess.

Damn! I was so mesmerized with his tapdancing moves since I don’t even know how to do that tapdancing. He also sang like Frank Sinatra… sooooo romantic, soooo suave and I am drooling now. Though I can’t understand what he is saying, since he still carries some Korean accent while delivering lines in English. But still, he sang sooo very Frank Sinatra.

The more it adds up to my love for Song Il-gook.

Girls, should you wish to check his performances, click the links posted above!

Have Fun Girls! Enjoy!

As for my mahal, I have nothing more to say!

Aja! Aja! Fighting!

Magpakatotoo? Role Model? My ass!

The term “magpakatotoo” has gone nothing but hypocritical because some housemates has been doing that pagpapakatotoo or being kind-hearted to fellow housemates just to gain respect, and once they leave the house, everything changes from them. They still have their share of hideous side, and they are no longer as humble as they were, right Keanna Reaves?

And the worst thing is everything IS EXPECTED to the housemates eventhough Big Brother himself has been doing so many katarantaduhans  on housemates.

I guess before the housemates serve as a role model, that should start from Big Brother himself.

My reason? I will give you my rationale as my post progresses.

Third, the housemates are ending up exploiting themselves for popularity’s sakes. They are just adding the “drama” to themselves and how they interact with their fellow housemates to the point of going O.A.

Right, Wendy Valdez?

The biggest examples are PBB Season 2 and even Celebrity Edition 2… and the latter is even worse. What the fucking twists? Those goddamn twists just screws the whole show up, isama ninyo pa si Big Brother who constantly goes against the viewers’ pleads and insisting on what he wants to do for the show. His favoritism towards housemates and his disregard from the POV’s of viewers just spoils everything. And why they hell he has to add Mariel in the roster of Celebrity housemates? For ratings? Fuck you… and he is ending up pissing the “good image” of Mariel and some celebrities who preserve their smooth public image.

I was devastated with Mariel’s attitude in Big Brother house, spewing “Showbiz is kadiri” and “mababaho ang viewers ng wowowee”. At the same time, I feel sad for her because the Big Brother house experience can really destroy her image. What will be her future in Wowowee? Will she be IN our OUT?

Then, the management is trying to put Angel Locsin inside the house? What the Fuck????

This is the height of commercialism. I guess I need not to tell why.

What do you think, Direk Joey Reyes? You have been ranting about commercialistic endevours of PBB, right?

Now, let’s go to Mccoy.

Below is a PEXer’s‘ Point-of-View regarding Big Brother-Mccoy conflict inside the house.

PETITION: Dapat magsorry si Kuya kay Mcoy!

Ating intindihin na kahit na di maaninag ang mukha ng taong gumaganap na nakatatandang kapatid ng sikat(?) na bahay ,siya ay tao pa rin kung gayon, siya ang nilalang na nilikha ng diyos at hindi ng endemol. Ang punto dito, kahit na gaano kasikat at idolo kung tratuhin si bb, siya ay nagkakamali pa rin.

Pinakita sa primetime telecast ng PBB and naganap na engkwentro nina kuya at Mcoy. Hindi man gaano detalyadong pinakita ang kanilang pag-uusap ay malinaw pa rin sa mga nanonood na nagkamali ng diskarte si Kuya. Ano pa kaya kung nakita ng buo ng masang tumatangkilik sa palabas ang kanilang buong pag-uusap sa 24/7? Mas magiging malinaw siguro ang maling ginawa ni Kuya.

Ano ang maling ginawa ni Big Bro?

Nang pinatwag ni kuya si Mcoy dahil narinig niya ang mga sinabi ni Mcoy tungkol sa task nilang gumawa ng makabuluhang motion picture halata ang mga naging maling banat ni kuya.

Ano ang mga sinabi ni Mcoy.

Base sa aking napanood:
1. Unang nagsalita si Mcoy ng sinabi ni kuya na baka makasuhan sila ng plagiarism dahil may katulad na libro ang takbo hg storyang kanilang naisip. Sinabi ni Mcoy na pwede namang sabihing Inspired by o (forgot the word.sorry,mahina nag memory ko). Pero ayaw ni BigBro (ayon kay ethel). Pinapasok silang lahat sa conferoom at doon sila kinausap ni BigBro tungkol sa posibleng mangyari kung i22loy nila ang kanilang napiling storya.Tinanong sila ni Kuya kung paninindigan ba nila ito. Nagkaisa ang housemate na manindigan.

2. sa labas, nag-usap2 sila mcoy, at iba pang housemates tungkol sa kanilang task. Doon nabanggit ni Mcoy na mahirap ang pinapagawa ni kuya, parang gawain ng mga nag-aaral sa UP ng Film, at imposible magkaroon ng filipino touch ang kanilang mp dahil hindi naman typical pinoy style ang loob ng bahay.

Pinatawag si Mcoy ni Kuya at doon naganap ang kanilang mainit na pag-uusap.

ang mali ni BB.
- nang tinanong niya si Mcoy tungkol sa kanyang mga sinabi maayos nya itong nasagot. points kay Mcoy.
- nang kulitin ni kuya si mcoy tungkol sa isyung paratang (plagiarism) nakabato agad si Mcoy ng katwiran. points kay mcoy

Eto nah, habang nag-eexplain pa si mcoy naisip (siguro) ni BB na parang hindi na siya mananalo sa kanilang usapan at mali ang kanyang diskarte ngayun, sinabi niya kay mcoy:

Mcoy: ang sa akin lang kuya..blah..blah…(cut)
Kuya: Cge na Mcoy, makakaalis ka na..
Mcoystops, but trying to finish talking)..blah..blah..(cut)
Kuya: cge na mcoy, slamat..
(wwhhhaaattt!!!! Miranda Priestly?)

Kung napanood niyo ang epi kayo mismo ay makapagsasabing pumlya doon si BB, hindi niya nirespeto si Mcoy.And even Toni, nafeel niya yon kaya matapos pinakita nag Vid, nawalan siya ng Energy sa paghost.

Petition.!! Dapat tanggapin ni kuya na nagkamali siya this time, and Mcoy deserves some respect.

Dapat Magsorry siya in Public.

Kung Hindi, iboycott ang PBB wag na manood kung mismo ang humahawak sa show at sinusunod ng housemates ay hindi naman tao ang ugali.

20′s na lang rating ng show niyo! Baka maging decimals na lang yan pag ang tao na ang humusga. Adios.

Yep… right!

Housemates are expected to be ethical but Big Brother himself is not ethical.

Tang Ina! Eventhough it’s his house, he is not even entitled to defrock anyone from explaining his side. He is just toying the fucking housemates. He is just messing things up.

Pero may mga loyalista talaga ng PBB. I understand your thoughts, but Big Brother is not a God to “mess” on everything. It clearly shows HOW CHAUVINIST HE IS just because he is the owner of the house and he can do anything he wants.

But anyway, I hate the Big Brother concept in general. I can still remember what Maruja has shared in Pinoy Rickey how the big winners of Big Brother of 2 countries: Netherlands and UK,  have gone nuts. One, was sent to mental assylum. The other one, attempted to commit suicide.

And even if this is a Philippines and showing the fucking culture we have, the bottom line is Big Brother series is still Big Brother, and there is no such thing as Big Brother with moral values damnshit. We just end up just like the other Big Brother countries.

Ineng, FYI! Kahit anong ipamukha mo sa akin kung gaano ako kapangit, hindi na ako tatablan niyan. OMG! I’ve been through with some nitpicks from some bullies in high school so, now that I am an adult, why give a damn hindi ba?

And what you are doing—-alongside JoeyThe_Kuting, rusty2die, alex, and jed_allan—-is ohhh sooo High School. You are as if you’ve never grown up! And very very very insipid.

Kaya kung sasabihin mong maganda ka… huuuwwwwhhhaattt????

Eh with the manner of your replies, it manifests how fugly and dugyot you are eh, because the beautiful and educated ones don’t write like that, bi@tch!

Quote:

Is that so? Well, nakakahon nga utak mo!

Quote:

OMG! Don’t ever flaunt with the school you came from plus the degree you have. Kasi kahit ipagyabang mo na kesyo graduate ka ng UP, Ateneo, UST, at whether Master’s Degree ka walang maniniwala sa iyo, kasi ang mga graduate ng mga school na iyon hindi kasing-skwater sumulat tulad mo!

Ayokong magyabang ng school at degree rito because it is REALLY OUT OF TOPIC. It is really OUT OF THE ARGUMENT. Doing that so is can be really insipid.

Quote:

Jealous daw o? Sinabi ko ba iyon?

*****! *****! *****!

Naintindihan mo ba ang sinulat ko? Envious, not Jealous! Ibang usapan na kapag jealous eh, moron!

Idiot ako? Eh ikaw? Moron? Cretin? Dweeb? Tingnan mo nga mga sagot mo…. hindi pang-intellectual eh. Pang-kanto!

Quote:

Actually, she has her bariotic history dimwit! Napanood mo ba ang screencaps ng sinagot niya noon sa Binibining Pilipinas? “I won’t change my legs because I am contented with my long-legged”.
Oh… baka sabihin mo katuwaan niyang sabihin niyon.

Boba ka pala rin eh… hindi mo nalalaman ang pinagsasasagot mo!

Katuwaan din niya ang erronous grammar and at the same time she admits she is guilty of that… and not ashamed of it. Eh ano ngayon kung may mali sa grammar niya?

Quote:

EH IKAW! MAS PANGIT KA NA, MAS SIRA-ULO KA PA, RETARDED KA NA, ISKWATER PA UGALI MO….. MORON!

Mga nakakahon kasi mga utak ninyo kaya panay ang nitpick ninyo na walang kwenta ang argumento ko.

Kayo ba, may kwenta ba? May sense?

Sensible ba ang bashing? Sensible din nitpicking on one’s physical aspect para lang manalo sa argument?

At kung nininitpick ko rin na pangit at dugyot kayo kasi sa pinagsususulat ninyo totally manifested ang pagkatao ninyo eh. Don’t you realize that?

Anyway, hindi ninyo nga mare-realize iyan kasi nga… mga nakakahon ang isip. Sarado. Kaya sobrang bilib sa sarili. Kala mo may sense ang sinasabi pero pang-palengke rin ang pagngangangawa.

Quote:

Ikaw kaya ang ipokrita diyan! Alam ko na sa sarili kong hindi ako ill-bred gaya mo eh.

moral values? redundant? moral lesson oo redundant pero i don’t think redundant ang moral values.

bigyan mo nga ako ng reference…

Quote:

Lalo naman ikaw, hindi nakakaintindi ng class.

And bakit hindi mo matanggap na DEPLORABLY CHEAP KA, HUH?

And hindi ako Korean wannabe. So ibig sabihin nun, kapag may pinoy na nagsasalita ng kahit anong Korean expression Korean wannabe na? How stereotype.

And do you actually know the definition of SOCIAL CLIMBER?

SOCIAL CLIMBER doesn’t merely pertain on one’s habit on speaking English to the point of erronous way. SOCIAL CLIMBER is a someone who seeks social prominence by obsequious behavior. Some define it as a parvenu, one who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class. The accusation of being a social climber would be considered an insult by most, suggesting that the accused has a poor work ethic or is disloyal to his roots.

And with that definition? I am not actually fit for that term. First, hindi ko ugaling makipag-friendship-friendshipan sa mga richy-rich people and makipag-rubbing elbows sa kanila no. Second, hindi ako ganun ka-sociable, so bakit ako Social Climber? Take note, wala rin sa agenda ko na gumamit ng powers ng mga mayayaman para lang umunlad. Gold Diggers are examples of Social Climber… and hindi ako Gold Digger. Baka naman ikaw… hahahahhaah! LOLZ!

Kayo kaya siguro ang mag-aral, kayo kaya ang DAPAT matutong mag-analyze ng ibabato ninyo.

“You’re the one deplorably cheap”? Baka naman You’re that one that is deplorably cheap…. incomplete ka rin MORON KA EH… HAHAHHA!

Sorry, ikaw ang wala. At huwag mo akong matawag-tawag na iha ‘coz mas matanda ako sa iyo, ineng! Yep! Hindi ka nagkukunwaring matalino, pero MAS BASURA AT MAS NAGMAMAGALING KA.

Hoy! Para sa kaalaman mo, hindi ako magsasabi ng kahit anong word na hindi ko nalalaman hindi gaya mo. Sasabihin ko ba iyang ARASEO na iyan kung hindi ko alam? Eh ano kung konti ang kaalaman ko sa isang foreign language? At least ako mas may initiative akong matuto at buksan ang isip ko kesa sa iyo.

Kung ano man ang iyabang mong social status, school and degree, walang maniniwala sa iyo!

Wala akong kakilalang galing UP, ATENEO, LA SALLE, UST, MIRIAM na kasing palengkera mong magsulat.

I am out of work in our family business since I am off for job interview with LWS Media this morning. Now that I am out of their office, I am now in an internet café just to neurocize and vent my drowsy feeling off since I went to my job interview feeling I am about to doze off, thus losing my concentration and my confidence level went down as I am being interviewed by an HR representative. I lacked sleep and preparation because I surfed the net a lot, nitpicking and counter-bashing at Kapamilya rabid lurkers at PEX, and had my Heo Joon-athon on ArirangTV up to 12MN. I woke up at 5:30am! Imagine how many hours I lacked wheareas, if I don’t have an appointment I could have the luxury for a few hours more?

But I am obliged to wake up no matter what, and kinda’ late because my body feels weak to move as faster as possible.

The end result is, my written exams were damn low, and can’t spew confidence as being interviewed. Another thing, they are not hiring a Customer Service Representative with no background in a Call Center, particularly Outbound because they don’t have training there, though an interviewer said she can endorse me for Internet Marketer position, so I have to wait for another notice.

Naaaahhh!!! I am feeling another “translation”, so why expect a notice?

Besides, I am not expecting to pass this screening since I am putting my big consideration to ExcelAsia because I will be get trained the rigid way…. And 10x more rigid than I had in Informatics-SM Megamall last year. Scholar pa ako niyan ha!

Now go back to Internet Café thingy. I recently checked my PEx inbox and recently saw a reply from, of course, a Kapamilya Crappy Lurker.

Here is the Message BTW….

Because I sent her a personal message due to her senseless attack against me at ABS-CBN Asianovelas thread on Pinoy Exchange-General Movies and TV Sub-forum.

Ano ba ang problema mo?

Bakit, naiinggit ka ba and at the same time NAPIPIKON dahil nasasapawan ang dysfunctional logic mo because of my explanation regarding ABS-CBN and SANDGLASS?

Hahahhahaha!!!!!Quote:

Yes! Alam ko, and I am confident enough to say that na “alam ko”!

Baka ikaw hindi mo alam… or trying not to know it kasi alam mong IKAW IYON!Quote:

Hey! Para sa kaalaman mo, isang Kapamilya fan ang nagpralala nung sa Sandglass thingy. Bweno, kung pinagpipilitan mong nagsisinungaling ako, bahala ka sa buhay mo lalo na kung GANYAN KA-KITID ANG ISIP MO!

MISS_MALDITA, IHA!

ARASEO? (for sure you have no idea what ARASEO means, because as far as I know, ang narrowminded na tulad mo hindi aalamin ito)

Actually, I don’t have the intention to bash anyone in ABS-CBN Asianovelas thread in PEX. Of course, depends on a poster because if you happened to bash me, expect counter-bashing from me too! I will make you face the fact that you are nothing but a piece of stupid NETWORK SHEEP (just like what you accuse on us, Kapusos) who lurks shit!

Reaaders, you will be the judge. I can’t make you read the messages in my account since its my, after all, my PERSONAL ACCOUNT.

If you are damn curious, why don’t you give yourself a try signing up in PinoyExchange so that you will find out what Kapamilya fans are like alongside the shits and craps they spew. IT’S FREE!

TAKE NOTE:

Wala raw akong credibility, oh!?

Bakit, writer ba akong tulad nina Lolita ahjumma? ni Cristy ahjumma? and the other ahjumma-ssi’s Pete Ampoloquio and Peter Ledesma?

All I did there is to ask kung nasa ABS-CBN pa rin ba ang the Sandglass, and ang ginawa ng gagang miss_malditang ito, talak-talakan ba akong nang-iimbento. Kahit i-explain ko na sa kanya na mismong Kapamilya commenter ng Eimichiko na ang nagpralaling nun, wala pa rin.

GANYAN KA-KITID ANG BRAIN, DEVAH NAMAN!

HOW DIMWITTEDLY SELECTIVE?

Blogger lang naman ako, forumer, and commenter. So why doubt on my credibility, unless bayaran ako ng kahit anong istasyon diyan para magpralaling ng anik-anik.

By the way, may tinatago ba ang ABS-CBN kaya defensive galore si miss_maldita?

Sayang naman ang The Sandglass…. tsktsktsk….

Ibig sabihin nung pagka-defensive ni miss_maldita, may hindi ngang magandang pagkakaunawaan ang ABS-CBN at SBS-Korea… hahahahha!!!!

Aminin!!!!

Buti pa si ricecake, nakapag-confirm ng hindi nag-aamok. Mas educated pa kina JoeyThe_Kuting, a92somethingwhatever, miss_maldita, machaka-ng tunay etc…etc…

translate ko ah… from JoeyThe_Leon:

무의미한 말 – Bakit nakayuko ang mga biik…

멍청이! -       Nahihiya sila  Dahil Baboyyyyyy ang nanay nila!!!!

and I was about to post this as a reply to that asshole, but wasn’t able to because of PEx Network Error.

Wrong translation… pero hindi ko i-interpret sa iyo.

Kasi, kahit mag-interpret ako, gagaguhin lang ng isang tarantadong gaya mo eh.

Alam mo ba ang pinakamababaw sa lahat?

Pandadamay ng mga magulang or kamag-anak.

That manifests kung gaano kayo kawalang-breeding mga Kapamilya fans because para lang manalo sa petty argument na ito kelangan ninyo pang mag-nitpick sa kung ano-ano, even mangdamay ng magulang….

Horrible!

Napaka-desperate…

Ang babaw talaga ng isang JoeyThe_Leon na ito, hindi ba…

BTW, can I ask you a question?

Is anyone of you is a registered PExer? Because I’ll gonna make you read some posts made by Kapamilya fans since may problema na sa PEx kaya hindi ko ma-copy-paste or magawang Picture Format.

Siguro, medyo out muna ako from PEx lurking. Damn! I am experiencing the rabidity of Kapamilyas in their highest form.

Feel free to post your opinions in this thread!

	Who is This?

Well, I am still in a state of shock (a bit!).

I can’t help but expressing my brief devastation after seeing our cutie oppa’s graduation picture. Is this his elementary or high school picture? Just asking.

Who wouldn’t be dismayed after finding out your beloved idol is now suspected to have gone  under the knife? Though I have nothing against cosmetic surgeries, but there are times that I view those who went through it are such a monster, especially those who have had enormous transformation to the point of looking far far far different from their past selves, just like Uhm Jun Hwa (though you don’t know her, but she is the lead actress of Seducing Mr. Perfect with Daniel Henney). No offense, but those who constantly goes through the knife for multiple times makes me think they’re having psychological disorder. I regard those people as insecure! My Gawd! There are lots of things far more important than the outer looks! There are instances that you can even work with the shape of your nose, lips, jaw, eyes, and so on without surgically improving it. Also, having went through the knife can possibly have further physical problems in the future, like you have to wear an eye cover for those who undergone eye surgery (because of the tendency for an eyefold to retract involuntarily, making the eyes half-open baring the white part of the eye. Not covering the eye may leave them too dry), back pains for those who had breast augmentation, and so on and so forth.

Take Kim Sun Ah (my My Name is Kim Sam Soon fame) for instance, we weren’t able to notice some signs of cosmetic surgery since she looks natural, only to be half-dismayed after the “before” pics has spread through the net like a wildfire. Her eyes were too small and made her look worse than a TV villain. In the end, the devastation went out because she will look even funny if she never thought of having through it.

And same thing goes for Kim Jeong Eun, Honey Lee, Lee Hyori, Park Shi-yeon, Bada, Eugene, etc…etc…

Back to Song Il-Gook, I’ve used to believe his looks are way natural since only women are the ones undergoing through that and it’s a rare thing for a guy to do it. Only Lee Junki, Kwon Sangwoo, HwanHee finally landed though the surgery bandwagon…and never thought that Il-Gook has joined with that before the said Korean Actors. Devastating because those whom I have regarded goddess, adonis, hunk, beautiful, handsome…are the ones whom I will find out that they are “retokados” (went through cosmetic surgery). It’s okay if they don’t have the Korean racist attitude, because those who have undergone surgeries have no right to be a racist! I hate those who nitpick on other’s “ugly side” whereas they themselves are motherfucking ugly, and if they happened to haven’t had surgery, they absolutely look worse than supernatural creatures. I absolutely hate those who look down on other’s complexion because it’s black and dark. Insecure people are the ones whom I abhor most!

I am not accusing Song Il-Gook and the rest of Korean stars of being racist and insecure. However, my only wish is that they won’t be having those sordid attitude. Lee Junki has tasted my fury, so I expect any of these Korean stars that if they don’t want to experience my insulting and degrading words, they should keep their mouth shut!

Am I gettin’ out of topic? Sorry, can’t help mentioning racism with surgery issues. These words should serve right on those who are about to spew bullshit on those darker and kinda’ imperfect than them.

Right now… my feelings towards Song Il-Gook is still in a shaky state. Sorry for my half-negative outlook towards Cosmetic Surgery. Kaya pala walang ibang pictures si Song Il-Gook except for baby, kiddy, and showbiz photos… the rest is nah! Feels like, my adoration and respect towards Song Il-Gook is about to drop slowly after seeing this picture.

Well, their decision for “rapid” transformation is beyond my control. If they wish to look nice and pleasing go ahead, but don’t forget PERSONALITY STILL MATTERS, because what’s the use of having goddess-like face if you look sluggish.

Lastly, back to Song Il-Gook…. I said to myself… who cares? What should his bashers have anything to do with this? After all, with our without eye surgery, he still looks cute and adorable. He had only double eyefolds… that’s it! The rest of his facial features are still the same: Face, nose, and his super-delicious lips. In fact, his lips here were jucier and more delicious… am I right, girls?

[P.S.: I would like to express my deep and sincere apology if I have offended any Korean actor or actress. I didn't meant to say these harsh words.

To the readers, click the names of Uhm Jung Hwa, Kim Jeong Eun, Kim Sun Ah if you wish to check their "before-and-after-pics"

BTW... kung sino ang hindi maka-relate pakiusap, huwag na kayong umepal. You know who you are so please, prevent yourself from visiting this thread.]

GMA Network, you friggin’ spawn of unmarried antecedents (that if you can figure its vulgar one-word term)! Why all of you are such a bunch of goddamn retards!

You are getting even more devastating!

Devastating, because I recently saw your teaser on Hwang Jini’s upcoming finale… or is its finale will be tomorrow? If my conclusions came true, the you GMA Asianovela staff will face a big deal of scrutiny from me and the rest of my fellas!

Hindi na kayo nagtanda. Pinutakan na kayo ng pinutakan ng mga Asianovela viewers due to your further axing (or chop-choping of scenes) of your previous Asianovelas, pero heto na naman kayo, sinumpong na naman ng usual topak ninyo on your Asianovelas.

So what if that show don’t rate and not able to topple its counterparts? Just because your asianovela suffers that, does that mean there are no viewers of that show? Then what do you call with a rating like these? 13%? 11%? Does that state “there are no viewers”?

If you think that, you GMA staffers are actually morons!

Sorry for the insults, but if you continue doing this, you will be suffering another great deal of lambastments, rants, and nitpicks from me because you are not able to satisfy your audience.

Even my fellow commentator (BTW, he is a Korean) expressed his abhorrence on what you are doing to your Asianovelas that don’t rate after sharing him what you did to Super Rookie, Good Luck, and My Strange Family. In fact, he said that it never happened in Korea—-whether it rate or not, the airing continues. He also added that what you are doing shows that you committed a gross disrespect on your viewers. Haven’t you realized that, GMA insiders?

Do you want me to share my article? Read it or I will call you morons forever!

Dear GMA NETWORK:

I just came across a comment from our fellow Korean commenter in this blog

http://www.filipinasoul.com/koreas-number-1-novela-premieres-on-gma.

You know what? I made him learn out of nowhere about your audacities in
axing Korean series because of low ratings, much to his enormous dismay!
If we Asianovela viewers were damn pissed off with what you’ve done to
MY STRANGE FAMILY, SUPER ROOKIE and Japan‘s GOOD LUCK and almost did
it to LOVE IN HEAVEN, what more if other Korean will find this? I assure you
GMA Network that you will garner lots of scrutiny from Koreans especially
those who are permanently/temporarily residing in the Philippines.

Here is a message for you to be aware of:

Aug 20, 2007 at 10:27 pm

roxy!
gma just pull off the ongoing drama just because of low rating?
can’t believe. that can never happen in korea.
don’t they have little respect for the viewers?
regardless of rationg it should be aired until it’s completely done.
very disspointing.
and change the time slots without noticing.
well.. those myabe just your tv culture.

rating is not all!
respect tv watchers.
what does MTRCB do for that?

[GMA, are you reading? Read: RESPECT THE VIEWERS!]

You are making another shame for the Philippines

as far as reputation in airing canned shows. It never happened in Korea as well as other countries.

GMA, if you wish to be trusted by Korean producers and broadcasters, never ever do such audacities like that.

ARASEO? ENTIENDES?

Please, take the Korean viewer’s advice.

It’s for your own FUCKING GOOD!

And do you want me to share my readers’ replies?

GMA 7 only thinks of Money! if they won’t benefit from something, they will AX it regardless of how the viewers react!
Super Rookie was a good example!
They also often change time slots which annoys me!

Now you know how appalled were they with your viciousness on your weak Asianovelas?

And I will be giving you the list of your ‘casualties’ as shared by my fellow commenter in PEx and Tsinoy respectively.

From Harmony_Rose:

mga casualties dahil sa ratings

Love Letter
Sweet 18
Summer Scent
18 vs 29
Super Rookie
Good Luck
My Strange Family
Love In Heaven
Foxy Lady
Lovers In Prague
Meteor Garden 2

and now…. Hwang JiNi

GMA, please wag alisin ang Hwang Jini dahil lalo lang hahaba ang listahan ng mga yan.

patience is a virtue ika nga, hintay lang ng konti babawi ang Hwang JiNi, kayo kasi kulang sa teasers ang mga new shows niyo unlike dati, ngayon pati Zaido, La Vendetta, at Kamandag parang kulang sa teasers

————————————-and————————————————

Quote:

kasalanan din nila yan, eh napaka late na ng Hwang Jini dati before ito naging last sa relaebabad nakaka 30+ pa ‘to diba?

so ang ibig sabihin di na sila maglalagay ng Asian drama sa primetime gaya ng kapamilya peeps?

give hwang jini a chance!

from koreanoveladik:

honestly di ko na nga matawag na tru blooded kapuso ako laluna kapag basta basta na lang pinupull-out yung mga korean series without considering na me mga followers na mga ito. even if i have seen super rookie, hwang jin yi atbp before their gma airing, i still want to have the pleasure of seeing them dubbed in pilipino. sadly, ganito nga ang ginagawa. wag sanang umpisahan ang isang bagay kung walang consideration sa damdamin ng mga taga subaybay at pagkatapos ay bigla bigla, wlang kaabog-abog na lang tatanggalin sa ere. sa korea man me mga dramas that suffered in ratings even if they were good but they still aired them till completion. puro ratings at pera na lang ba ang ipagmamalaki ng gma? paano ang integrity? tama na yan. nakakasakit din ng damdamin. ako i mwatch shows that i truly enjoy and i dont have network preference anymore. pareho lang naman silang me good and bad shows. buti na lang me cable para pag wlang mganda sa 2 rival local networks, one can freely choose to watch the show he/she enjoys.

ps: dapat tapusin nila ang airing nito para malaman ng mga koreanovela fans kung gaano kaganda itong hwang jin yi series na ito compared dun sa boring and dull film version nito ni song hye kyo. walang sinabi ang performance ni shk compared sa ganda ng portrayal ni ha ji won. am not kidding. im a full house/bikyo fan but sad to say, hwang jin yi film is a great ho-hum. kaantok ang bagal ng pacing at di kasing kulay ng tv drama

Now you see how appalled are they?

GMA Network, when will you start listening to the viewers’ pleads and respecting them as well?

I understand that you aim for profits and ratings but you should be aware that there are still some viewers of any of your Koreanovelas.

I am afraid that, someday, you will no longer air any Koreanovela just because they no longer becoming such a hit like your past K-dramas do.

If you are all damn persistent with your immature attitudes, then don’t expect some respect from each of us.

Good thing ABS-CBN still continue airing any of their Asianovela whether they hit or not, pop or flop, win or lose to its counterpart. It’s a matter of customer satifaction.

One more thing, your dubbers are committing faux pas on Korean/Chinese word or name pronunciation. Do you want me to apply on your network as a pronunciation instructor?

Since audio-visual media is soooo powerful, and if you’ve committed any fallacy and faux pas, you’ll be driving your viewers to stupidity. You are making them carrying the same pronunciation/enunciation faux pas just like their ancestors/predecesors.

haaaayyyy….

*the correct pronunciation of geomungo (거문고) is

KO-MUNG-GO

read: KO-MUNG-GO

not: GYO-MONG-GO!

*and utang na loob, the correct pronunciation of Joseon is

CHO-SUN (note: the u in this form should be pronounced in schwa sounding form [ə])

not JO-SHON!

*lastly, EUN HO is correctly pronoucned as UHN-HO (“uh” as “ə”), not YOON-HO!

 Tanga na nga ang mga pinoy ginagawa ninyo pang mga tanga!

“Hindi tanga ang mga manonood”, just like what Hwangjini quoted yesterday.

Ed de Leon is becoming so annoying. What’s his problem on Koreans and why the hell he has to nitpick on them in some of his articles—-from Korean dramas to Korean actors/actresses as well? Why does he had to harbour resentments on them whereas these dudes/dudettes absolutely has nothing to do with him nor even did a bad thing on him?

Here is his article by the way.

And if you happen to spot his articles in Pilipino Star Ngayon, Journal Online (Taliba), and Balita (I think two years ago), you will understand why I rant so feistily on him.

I am not defending Koreans by the way, eventhough Korean Dramas are such my guilty pleasures and dreaming of Song Il-gook to be my husband one day. In fact, I also harbour some resentments on them due to issues on their being racist and arrogant and Lee JunGi spewed his extreme hatred and abhorrence on Philippines and Filipina girls as well. But bashing Koreans without prior justice simply because they are harming our entertainment industry (harming? duh, if it is, then why our local series still topple the popularity of Asiandramas?), or simply they personally offended you is kinda’ shallow to write about it. It is not an expression of nationalism. You just simply bash on them.

NALOKA si Direk.

Nagulat ang naka-date niyang akala niya ay Korean.  Nagmura iyon at doon niya nalaman na  fake pala ang Korean actor na kanyang ka-date.

So I replied him this:

Ed, each day that I read your articles, it seems that you’re carrying some heavy resentments on Koreans.

I am not Korean, but lagi na lang Koreanovela at mga Koreano ang pinag-iinitan mo? Have they done anything wrong to you yourself?

Worse (and even ridiculous) you had the nerve to correlate Ysabella with Dae Jang Geum, which I find tooo insipid. Paanong naging parang Jang Geum si Ysabella samantalang Seo Jang Geum is already a historical figure and her “career” in the palace has shifted from cooking to medicine while Ysabella has remained a cook only turned to be a lady vengeance.

Even worse, panay ang putak mo sa mga Koreanovela na kesehodang mura lang. Parang sinabing inferior kasi mura. Hindi mo nga napapanood ang mga Koreanovela pero panay ang putak mo without proper basis. Masyado kang stereotype.

Take Jumong for instance. Walang puhunan sa Jumong? Come on, wala pa bang puhunan iyung Php 8Million (or sabihin nating higit pa kasi ang benta ng MBC dito is US$ 8M, and convert that to pesos!)? Eh sa milliones na ipambibili mo ng rights pwede ka nang mag-upgrade ng facilities eh, tapos mumurahin mo lang.

Wala ring masamang ipaglaban ang sariling atin but sometimes you have to open your eyes on the crappy side of our showbiz and Pinoy dramas as well. Hindi puro positive lang tinitingnan mo just like you do on Koreanovelas where all you did is to look at their negative side ONLY. Matuto ka ring magtimbang. Matanda ka na, and journalist ka so dapat nagkakaroon ng logic ang pinagsususulat mo right? And please lang, be OBSERVANT… magmasid ka rin sa internet at hindi iyong laging iniilusyon mo na kesyo sobra na ang colonial mentality ng mga pinoy. Kung sobra ang colonial mentality, bakit mas mataas pa rin ang nakukuha ng local series kesa sa mga mexican and taiwan/korean/japan imports? Go Figure!

Baka naman naiinggit ka lang sa mga Koreano at sa showbiz nila. Kasi sila maganda ang promotion sa entertainment industry nila kaya hindi matinag-tinag ang Hallyu sa buong Asya. Isipin mo rin, and i-compare mo ang popularity ng Korean Wave sa buong asya kesa sa Pinas. Bakit mas hataw ever ang Koreandramas sa Japan and Taiwan kesa sa Pinas, to think na mas mayayaman ang mga bansang ito at may established stars and dramas na rin? At ang showbiz nila, hindi kasing parang perya at cheappangga tulad ng sa atin, if you only know what I mean. Mataas talaga ang standard ng mga talent agencies doon and ang mga artista nila. Karamihan mga degree holders (mostly arts-related course since ito ang preferred ng mga agencies) and almost total performers and mas madali kang malaos kung talagang wala kang talent at mahina ka sa mga workshops an binibigay nila sa iyo.

And by the way you judge Koreans in your columns, it’s like accusing them of having “western-like” attitude na hindi angkop sa ugali natin. Baka hindi mo alam kung gaano ka-conservative ang society nila kesa sa atin, kasi kung maganda ang kultura natin at conservative, bakit malapit nang maging “prostitution capital of the world” na ang pinas and “most corrupt in asia“?

And don’t get me started in whatever you say. I know that Koreans look down on us just because we’re just a friggin’ 3rd world country, and I’m harbouring grudges to some of them upon hearing some sordid stuff about them. They are racist (some), but if you’ll compare their racism to the American racism, mas madaling maunawaan ang sa Koreano. First, they never had the reputation of being a goddamn imperialist like US and Japan. Second, they are able to look back at their history and nagtatanda sila sa mapait na nakaraan kaya ganito sila ka-unlad ngayon. Third, it’s in their culture na huwag makihalo sa ibang lahi. Mas grabe pa nga tayong maging racist kesa sa kanila kasi ultimong kalahi natin dinidiscriminate natin based on skin color alone and at the same time we kiss on white asses!

I am not underestimating everything about Philippines. I am just being frank about our country alongside the sordid details that surrounds our society.

Kaya stop making pralala on some so-called good things on Philippines (even though I can see some) and at the same time bashing on other races. It’s sooooo superficially insipid.

I simply replied him that way because I couldn’t take his rationale for bashing Koreans for the love of our country and our entertainment industry as well. It was goddamn self-righteous kind of commentary! Do you think you will garner empathy and respect if you are self-righteous?
Do you think being self-righteous is great?

I guess Ed should analyze why am I calling him that!

As far as bashing Korean Dramas are concerned, he constantly do this! Why doesn’t he face the truth that themes featured on Korean Dramas are way parallel to reality than ours? Why doesn’t he face the fact that Korean Dramas are even fast-paced than ours kaya hindi sakit sa ulo manood ng Korean Drama dahil wala ka nang iisiping ano ang mangyayari. Kaya instead of thinking what will happen next, you are able to think of something more important. Why doesn’t he face the fact that at least, Korean producers doesn’t need to add another so-called twists or include another controversial figure to make the show rate so well (insipidly, which happens most in our TV series) and lastly, why can’t he face the truth that it’s easy to find some moral/inspirational values in Korean Dramas that are applicable in everyday lives because it doesn’t try so hard to be heavy and the characterization is balanced.

Come to think of it, in our culture, the sympathy is mostly drawn on female lead characters but since most of their roles consists of prim-and-proper, underdog, maltreated to the point of almost not being able to fight back, our dramas usually ending up sucking big time! Worse, it’s not balanced, and producers put on heavy emphasis on villain’s evil-ness para mas kainisan at hindi boring ang magiging dating ng storya. So instead of getting annoyed with a villain and laying our sympathy on the protagonist, we just end up 10x being annoyed with a protagonist for being to dimwitted to fight back.

So in the end, we can’t easy figure out the moral values in our dramas because we focus much on entertainment value per se due to our annoyances on antagonists and adrenalin rush we always feel with some new twists. Another thing, the themes usually featured on our dramas is usually overkilled ones, too formulaic, too trite and one-dimensional. They don’t have anything else to offer but kilig, pain experienced with a villain, etc. They couldn’t offer something that tackles everyday issues like infidelity, family, and political issues just like Korean producers do with Eyes of Dawn, The Sandglass, Rosy Life, Terms of Endearment and Historical Dramas. If Ed persistently declares that the events happening in the likes of Jewel in the Palace, Hwangjini, Jumong, Heo Joon etc. are damn unparallel to our current society, then he is absolutely narrowminded-dimwit. No offense.

Before Ed de Leon accuse Korean culture as “corrosive” to our society, he should think first where we first inherited our culture (mostly Spanish, di ba, kaya hindi na nga tayo halos asian eh!), analyze what kind of culture Korea has, which one is even repulsive: being the “next divorce capital of the world” or “next prostitution capital of the world”, which of the two nationalities are more nationalistic, and he should review the plots of Korean Dramas and compare them to our local dramas. Internet is widely available, so it isn’t expensive to log on to Wikipedia, DramaWiki, Soompi and other blogsites.
