From a Kapamilya to a Kapuso

In our house, the TV stays on ABS CBN. From the morning show up to the late night news program, the TV seems stuck on 3.

Lately however, there have been a sudden change in terms of TV wiewing trends at our house. My mom for one seems to favor the koreanovelas, Bakekang, Sis, and Fantaseryes of GMA over the teleseryes, Home Boy and Deal or no Deal of ABS CBN.

Meanwhile, I now prefer GMAs 24 Horas more than ABSs TV Patrol World. TV Patrol was just too much for me.

I don't like the fact that ABS CBN sensationalizes its news. A single case of meningococcemia is an outbreak for them. I'd much rather prefer GMAs style of reporting which is very unbiased and plain. I also sometimes go for NBNs Teledyaryo. That is what I would recommend watching for everyone who wish to know only the good news.

The Filipinos (even those from the provinces) are seemingly tired of the endless and very predictable telenoveles of ABS CBN. Interestingly, we are now going for the teleseryes that has substance and not just a feel good show. ABSs Maging Sino Ka Man is apparently a first teleserye for ABS which does not have a predictable and old story line.

Hopefully, ABS would come around. Already they are showing signs of following the trend of GMA teleseryes.

The idea of switching to another station is exciting. It is like exploring this other country which you've never been to.

What I love about this horse race (which GMA and Abs CBN is in) is that it proves that Filipinos know how to choose. They are not unintelligent and passive beings. They are capable of having excellent tastes.

    Sometimes, it feels good when you are loyal to a certain station. It is as if you belong to that organization.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to register to DITO promos without going through their app. I don't know why but apparently DITO's app needs internet connection to be accessed. How very counterintuitive! Imagine, I was about to register to a Smart Promo just to access their app and subscribe to a promo! Anyway, thank goodness I was able to find a way to subscribe to DITO promos without using their app. Here is how you can register to DITO promos thru text: 1. Text HELP or 0000 to 185. This is free of charge. 2. You will receive a reply with the menu. Choose 'Buy Promo'. 3. Choose your desired promo and confirm your purchase. That's it! Now you just have to wait for a text confirmation or try to check if you can now access the internet. Hope this helps you out!

No te Vayas de Zamboanga Song Lyrics

Image
No te vayas, no te vayas de Zamboanga Que me puedes, que me puedes olvidar No te vayas, no te vayas, ni me dejes Que yo sin ti, no puedo estar No llores, paloma mia No llores que volvere No llores que en cuando llegue Paloma mia, te escribire Con un pluma de ave Y un pedazo de papel Con la sangre de mis venas Paloma mia, te escribire. No Te Vayas de Zamboanga  is a Zamboangueño Spanish folk song written by Juan Cuadrado, Sr., a Spaniard who decided to stay in Zamboanga after the Spanish soldiers left the country. I read somewhere that this song was used in a Zarzuela entitled De Cavite A Zamboanga . In this Zarzuela , a Caviteña sings this song to her boyfriend who is going to Zamboanga. This is probably why there are versions wherein this song is titled No Te Vayas A Zamboanga . In fact, the English version of this song is translated from No Te Vayas A Zamboanga (Don't you go to far Zamboanga). This title however doesn't sit well among Zamboang
