Dyesebel Meets Fredo

Dyesebel found her way to swim up to the shore always waiting for Fredo, the boy who saved her from a tangled fishnet. Dyesebel grew up to be a very beautiful mermaid and she has fallen in love with Fredo, something that her adoptive mother, Banak, feared because, Lucia, Dyesebel's mother, suffered for falling in love with a man. Berbula (played by Michelle Madrigal), the queen's daughter, followed Dyesebel one time and found out where Dyesebel was going. To go to the land of mortal men was a forbidden law in the kingdom of Sireneya. Berbula saw Fredo on the shore and she, too, had fallen in love with him.

Banak (played by Lotlot de Leon) warned her adopted daughter, Dyesebel, to stop going to the land of men. Dyesebel swore that she would again never. But, upon learning that Fredo was ashore, she swam up to see her prince once again. Meanwhile, while Fredo was setting his sail, the mast knocked him off and was thrown to the sea.

The target audience of Dyesebel is the kids. So, expect some scenes to be kid-like. Even the Sireneya set looked very kiddie. Being a mature audience, I certainly was expecting more. It's sad that in the studio, the production cannot show the mermaid and mermen swimming. In every scene, the fish humanoids were always seated or their tails were blocked. Also noticeable was the dry hair of the mermaids and mermen. Maybe the makeup artists should apply wet-look lotion to the casts hair.

Endless Love - A Filipino Adaptation of Autumn in My Heart

Courtesy pinoyhalo.com "Autumn in My Heart" is a Korean TV series. When GMA Network aired it on Philippine TV, it started a trend. Pinoys went gaga over Koreanovelas. GMA renamed the characters as Jenny, Johnny, and Andrew. The three Korean stars became popular in their character names rather than in their Korean screen names. GMA7 also gave it a new title - "Endless Love" - for the reason that there's no autumn in the Philippines. Today premieres once again Autumn in my Heart aka Endless Love but this time as a Filipino adaptation starring Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, and Dennis Trillo. Three superstars in one show! It's surely a hit. If I were to rewrite some scenes in Autumn In My Heart In general, I enjoyed the pilot episode of Autumn In My Heart. I particularly like the scene where young Johnny and Jenny ride their bicycles on a long brick road fenced with bougainvilla bushes. I give praise to whoever found that place. The school location w...

Starstruck V Dance Challenge

Douglas Nieras, the Starstruck's dance mentor, chose two pairs to dance hiphop: Rocco & Diva, and Sef & Nina. Rocco and Diva danced better because they were dancing together. Nina and Sef were like dancing individually. Diva did better than Nina on stage; Nina however was praised more during the rehearsals. Perhaps, Nina had jitters on stage. Rocco was naturally confident and relax on stage. Sef's moves tend to be calculated. In the Ballroom challenge, the two pairs chosen to perform on stage were: Rocco & Rox, and Enzo & Diva. Enzo and Diva danced well. Rocco & Rox's performance was boring. As beginners though, they all did well. The Bottom Three The bottom three are: Princess, for missing one dance class; though he did well on the dance floor, Sef was in the bottom three for some reasons; and Zeryl, who missed the dance lessons for health reasons. Stand Outs At this point, Rocco is a stand out. He's charming, has the masculine manly appeal. His eye...
