the L word

THE CAST from left to right,top to bottom: mia kirschner, eric mabius, laurel holloman, karina lombard, pam grier,erin daniels(my fave character:)). below or sitting: katherine moennig, jennifer beals and leisha hailey.

i first learned about this tv show last January. i accidentally bought a dvd of the show, i was just browsing through a lot of dvds and came upon this disc. as i read the summary at the back cover of the disc i got kinda curious because its about women, lesbian women. as i started watching the show i got hooked on it, i was mesmerized by the depth of the story. its not your typical, sad,tragic lesbian shows. and in fact it is the first and only lesbian tv show that was given a slot on primetime tv in the states. the show was a phenomenon in the US and it is up to now the most watched tv show in the US. the concept of the show is that, there 's a group of lesbian women who are close friends with each other, they are living in Hollywood California, this group of women is so unique and diverse in their characters that each one of them has been given a good script and a good storyline . the show is focused on the lives, the love, the friendship, the struggles of these women.


i thank the creator Ilene Chaiken for making this masterpiece, it is a show where gays and lesbians are not discriminated, they are given equal opportunities like straight people. this show now has a devoted fanbase in the states and it is starting to be heard around the world, in Europe and Asia. in fact, it is being shown in our own cable tv here in the Philippines, it is on velvet channel, every thursday night at 9.30.

i dare each of you to try to watch the show, or buy a dvd copy of the show. by the way, the show is in production of and filming (as of press time) its final season. its home network or mother network in the states, SHOWTIME decided to extend the show for one more season (season 6). mind you, all the shows of this network did not reach season 6, but the network producers had decided to extend the L word because of the impact it created and the voice it gave to gays and lesbians (well, lesbians in particular), who finally found themselves being given the rights that they deserve. now that there is a new law in California that already allows gay and lesbian marriages, its a very big step. it only shows that people are more open minded, more accepting and liberated.


for me, i will continue to watch the show until its last episode. season 6 of the L word will be shown January 2009 in the states and i will surely wait for the original dvd copy of it or if not i will download it in mininova.:) i just hope velvet channel will continue to air the show. the L word rulezzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spice girls: girl power

the only girl group/band that made a huge impact in the world. everyone was craving for them, everyone loved them. i, for one, was a very big fan of the group. i bought all of their posters and magazines no matter how expensive they were. no other group had achieved what they had achieved. i wrote a letter to the girls way back 1998, i really did, it was just a fan mail. my friends might be laughing at me right now but i don't care. and guess what, i received an autographed picture of the girls, i was so ecstatic, i was so happy. i kept the picture in my drawer, i still have it now. i am and i will forever be proud that i like and love the spice girls. even though my cousins and sister used to tease me about it, i didn't change. my admiration for the girls didn't change. i will forever be their numero uno fan. i would really love to meet them. i am praying for that to happen, anything is possible. right ............:)?


it was so surreal that they reunited last year (2007- until early this year 2008), it was a joyous moment for all their fans. i always checked their site to know where they are going, their concert schedules and stuff. i was a little sad because they have no schedule here to do a show in my country, but its ok. it was enough for me to know that they are back together. i have youtube to help me with the updates of their shows and to get a glimpse of the girls. :)


thank you SPICE GIRLS for the Girl Power genre you have created. you inspired a lot of women to be strong and to be able to fight for our rights. you truly are five precious gems.

CSI: LAS VEGAS

this is my show. my tv show. i have been a fan since it started or since i first saw it last 2000. i saw how the show progressed and developed into a sensitive, intriguing, intellectual, award winning show it is today. the casts were incredible, lovable and so dedicated with their craft. it's sad that jorja fox left the show (she's my fave character in the show->sara sidle). but don't worry jorja fans out there, i read in a news that she'll be back this season 9, just a recurring role, nothing permanent yet.


the last episode of season 8 was very heart wrenching, we saw warrick being shot inside his car. it will be very sad to see if one of the characters will die. they each have their own traumatic experiences, like the time when nick was kidnapped, or the time when catherine's father (sam) was shot in front of her and died in her arms, or the non-ending search for sara after she was kidnapped and almost left to die in the middle of the desert by the miniature killer.


i can't say more. what other show can surpass this? none, right.....???!!!!! so hoping that this show will last long. i hope it will reach until their 100th season.:) it is kinda far fetched but we can never tell.:) this show could be a history in the making, i think it is already making history. for all csi fans out there continue watching the show. lets give them our unending support. are you with me?????????????????????

MY DAD

he is the epitome of love and kindness. i miss him so much. i love him dearly. it is so painful to lose him. a pain beyond repair, a pain which cannot be healed. i always wanted to tell him how much i appreciate all the things he has done for us. my mom, my siblings and i lost a truly valuable man.

i miss your text message every nyt that says..........." r u ol home nyt tc." i kept all your messages on my phone dad. and i am proud to be your daughter, i will forever be missing you. no one can ever fill the void you left in my heart.

an extraordinary movie

DESERT HEARTS....................

i was watching an interview of Ilene Chaiken (creator of the L word) in youtube when she mentioned a movie, Desert Hearts. i was curious bout it so i downloaded the movie and i have been watching it over and over again for the past two months. the story of the movie was so moving, it showed how the two characters ( Vivian and Cay) portrayed by (Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau) developed their friendship into love. how they realized that they really need each other. it was a difficult relationship to start with but as the two women became close to each other they knew that there's no turning back. the movie was and still is critically acclaimed, there were a lot of positive reviews bout the movie.

on a personal note, i was overwhelmed by the movie. it was an eye opener for me. i was able to understand myself better and accept who i really am. i thank Donna Deitch for sacrificing a lot of things in her life so as to produce and create this heartwarming masterpiece. Thank you Helen and Patricia for taking a risk in making this movie.

i'm inviting everyone to have a copy of this movie. for its 20th year anniversary since it was first shown in the big screen, the producer re-released a dvd copy of Desert Hearts last year (2007) with never-before-seen footages.
