The Struggling Blogger

Yes, The Struggling Blogger will be on Rated K this Sunday, October 12, 2008. Although this blog won’t be featured there, but my other blog will be, which is the Letters To Mama.

I am really surprised as to how they chanced about my blog. Contacted me, and before I knew it, I’m included on their next Sunday’s episode. Rated K is shown every Sunday at ABS-CBN Channel 2, at around 6pm. (am not sure about the exact time).

I was interviewed by Miss Korina Sanchez herself. Just watch it this Sunday. Be sure to have your hanky with you.

I wish I can expound more here, but to be honest I really don’t how it will turn out or how it will be shown. I hope it won’t be something that I am going to regret someday.

So that’s it! This Sunday, October 12, 2008 at Rated K, it’s a date!

The current roster of Celebrity Duets contestants include MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando. Well, among the current crops of president wannabe’s, BF is my most probable bet. What with his no-nonsense political will that enforces law no matter who gets hit. That is why he caught the ire of a former MMDA chairman (also a wannabe), because BF has accomplished what was only in his drawing board, to say the least.

But BF’s inclusion in the Celebrity Duet is I guess not a very smart move, as far as his political plan is concern. Sure, he can carry a tune, but that’s not the point here. I fear that this will actually be used against him, politicians being the ever-resourceful and creative people that they are, can turn this action of the MMDA chairnman to their advantage.

I saw it on the television today, Filipino comedian Michael V is the cover on Reader’s Digest September issue. I like Michael V, so does my kids. The guy is really talented. But I was still surprised that he made it to the cover of an international magazine…. Reader’s Digest no less.

Granted that September’s issue is their “5th humor special“, our Kabayan has bested who knows how many number of comedians from how many countries in the selection process. Only shows that Bitoy have it made. He was recognized in Asia as evidenced by Asian TV Best Actor Awards, which he believed was what qualified him for the cover opportunity.

My favorite actually was Ram, in spite of the presence of the Kabalen in Jayann. But as most probably know, he was eliminated early in the proceedings of the program. Which leaves Gretchen and Jayann competing for the coveted title, and the mark of being the ‘first ever’ Pinoy Idol.

Obviously, I’m writing this blog as the program progresses and hoping to finish it once the final winner is already announced. While I can only root now for a Kabalen, it really doesn’t matter to me who wins at this point. While this ‘text votes’ thing makes the competition more interesting, it definitely defeats the purpose of a talent show.

We see a mother giving her son a dozen donuts in a box, and told him to share it to his playmates. The boy then counted all his friends who are busy looking for a place to hide as they were playing hide-and-seek with the boy being the it. As they show his playmates one by one, hearing the boy’s voice on the background… coincidentally, there were twelve of them, including the boy!

Quickly he called all his playmates from hiding and announced that he has donuts to share. When they approached him, the camera showed all eleven donuts gone and just one remaining which was divided into 12 pieces. It seems the boy have consumed all eleven pieces and have left just one piece to share with his friends. Cute… or is it? I say it is an obvious display of greed and selfishness.
