Chi-novela fad

It all started with Marimar.. my love for foreign soap operas, that is. I dunno what caught my attention and curiousity. Maybe it was the way Thalia sensuosly moved her body, or perhaps it was Pulgoso who really mattered to me. One thing's for sure, I never, EVER, had a crush on Sergio. YIKES..

So thus started my love for these stories.. I weathered out all of Thalia's soap operas, then moved on to the local ones.. Baduy man, pero I admit to liking the Kristine Hermosa-Jericho Rosales' tvnovelas. There's something about their show's antagonists that really fuelled my attention.. but take note ha.. the contravidas were the ever so beautiful transformations by Jean Garcia and Eula Valdes! You go girls!! ;) Then I moved on to the younger Bea Alonzo-John Lloyd Cruz..Siguro talagang I like love stories kaya kahit local pinapatulan ko. Saka talaga namang may chemistry ang mga batang ito.. hehehe.

But what this entry is all about, is the fact that the Chi-novelas have finally caught my attention..
At first, I really didnt get as to why they were so GAGA over MG's (Meteor Garden) F4. I couldnt comprehend since I hated F4's signature hairstyles and fashion statements. But my sisters liked MG, and were downloading episodes from the net...
Appreciation for MG came late for me... just around the time when MG2 was out. I tried to watch MG2 but I couldnt understand, so I had to watch MG1 first. By this time, the whole "F4 look" was already widely accepted. Their Pepsi ads were also out by then, and some of the members already modified their hairstyles to an acceptable level (by my standards). So therefore, I conclude, medyo ok na sakin ang F4.

Then someone told me to watch a Korean Movie entitled "My Sassy Girl".... this was a turning point in my life!! (HAHAHA!!) Grabe, it's the best movie ever!! Kahit na subtitled, nag-enjoy talaga ang lola mo! I like action movies and in ths story, the girl always beats up her boyfriend! plus the fact na flip talaga yung story... saka ang ganda ganda talaga ng girl!! and nakakatawa talaga!! as in.


Cge na nga... now I like Korean telenovelas so much that I started to be more open about it. Kaya ngayon, my favorite show is Full House.. its another Korean soap opera.. I prefer the subtitled one than the one dubbed in Filipino.. hindi ma justify ng Pinoy dubbers yung intensity ng scene... hay!!! saka the girl is just so pretty, I can stare at her for the longest time.. The story is also not serious, funny actually. Di ko mapigilan ang tumawa ng malakas. I liked Full house so much that I actually bought a whole set of cds ng Full House. Kakaririn ko yun this Holy week break.

So what can I say about these chi-novelas?? Its bad for my health (ksi napupuyat ako) and my bulsa (kasi napapabili na ako ng own copy ko.. one set is usually mga 22 cds). hehehe. dibale, my happiness is priceless.. naks!
