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

"Mahal Kita"

Here's another favorite song. "Mahal Kita", which means "I love you" was composed by Danny Tan. The original version was sung by Gerald Santos, Pinoy Pop Superstar grand champion of 2006. The female version was sung by Maricris Garcia, Pinoy Pop Superstar grand champion of 2007. The song is included in Gerald's first album "A Day on the Rainbow". The song is currently the love theme song of "Marimar", a Philippine remake of the Mexican tele-novela with the same title. In the Philippine version, Marian Rivera plays Marimar; Dingdong Dantes plays the the role of Sergio Santibanez. In Marimar, the female version is a response to the male version of the song. In dramatic scenes that focus on either Marimar's (Marian) or Sergio's (Dingdong) emotions, you'll either hear Gerald's or Maricris's version. "Marimar" is currently showing weeknights on GMA Channel 7. Here's Gerald's version of "Mahal Kita&q
